The Joe Man posted:Is this worth playing now that they've (assumedly) restored it? https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3927717 There's been an excellent LP of it recently. Some sounds are missing here and there, but I found the game to be absolutely charming in places. It's very Full Throttle-y, so I may be biased. khy posted:Similar artstyle. More of a modern-day setting though, like set in the 1940's or after. Definitely not fantasy. I wanted to suggest maybe Broken Sword II, but I'm afraid I can't come up with anything matching this.

Beneath a Steel Sky? First screen is SORT OF blueish, and the first thing you DO is to climb OUT of it (via a DOOR, though, not a window) onto a LEDGE.

Was Orion Burger the game where you are shrunk down and put into a hamster cage for a while? Because I once played a demo of a game like that and I always wanted to play the full version sometime.

Might be Broken Sword I? The setting is modern, and there’s a scene where you’re trapped in a hotel room by goons and you have to shimmy along a window ledge to get out, although I don’t remember the colours.

I remember this old FPS game back when I was in elementary school (so 20ish years?) that starts you off in a platforming puzzle room where you had to climb up some boxes and then jump through a hole in the wall to grab your gun and get to the elevator/exit. After that, I believe you had a hub world and could pick a number of different levels to go to each one of which had some gimmick? It was really bright and colorful if I remember right. It was installed on my school computers so it was probably shareware or freeware? It just popped into my head and it's bugging the poo poo out of me that I can't remember any other details about it, so this is probably not enough to go off of.

Because based on the "male protagonist, 40's, blue-ish", it absolutely screams Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (in the castle - VGA is pretty grey, but EGA is quite blue): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_CLXvtkDpA&t=2925s <- VGA, check around 48 mins 45 seconds https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H5SzJsF9PU0&t=4298s <- EGA, check around 1 hour 11 mins 38 seconds

encountered in 2000, a first-person adventure game where the premise was that you were slowly but surely turning into a werewolf, and had to acquire potions or serums or something to slow / reverse the transformation.

Chip McFuck posted:This is a total shot in the dark because I doubt anyone else will remember this, but here goes: Back in the 90's, my brother and I used to play this game on our parents Mac all the time that was a sort of activity center or possibly educational. It was a 2d castle that was navigated around by going from scene to scene. The first screen would be the drawbridge and walls, the second would be the entry hall, and so forth. On each screen would be characters walking around and you could place new characters like a dragon or knights. All characters would walk around after being place and do a short animation, but didn't interact with anything or each other. If you put them in the air they would slowly fall unt they reached the ground and then continue walking. I remember that there was a princess in a tower and if you clicked the window in her room it brought you to a special, secret room. The art style was very cartoony and colorful. Holy crap, I actually found it. In case anyone was wondering, the game is called My Make Believe Castle. It's just as boring as I remember: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32g4pGYuIZw&t=1s

My cousin had a game fitting that exact description. I vaguely remember it being in either a prison or asylum. The first part of the game was figuring out how to escape the building, and it involved climbing out of the window onto a ledge. I hazily remember maybe grabbing a scalpel before climbing onto the ledge? It definitely wasn't a sequel and it definitely wasn't as cartoony as some of these guesses. Dammit, now I want the name too.

Hey folks, two games which have been itching on my brain but I can't remember the name of, both RTS's but very different ones. First one I remember as being a medieval RTS I think late 90s or early 2000s, the campaign of which has you start out as one peasant dude whos farm gets burned to the ground and you then become a knight. It also had longbow men who didn't have quivers but rather carried their arrows in their hand. I think it also had a mode where you could basically get the game to play itself. Second one was an ancient era naval RTS, I think I played it in the late 90s. I only ever played the demo of it but I remember the 2 types of resources being Amber and Fish, and you could harvest whales for both of these. You had "boats" and later "merchant ships" which were your resource gathering ships, and magic which could affect the wind and other things. You could ram, board, and just shoot enemy ships, and upgrade your village to a town for more options.

There was one on macintosh that I cannot remember the name of. You played as a toy of some sort, and I recall one level was in a candy type world with Tar as a hazard, and I can't recall how you fought. But if you died your character fell over and arms/legs/head came off with springs. I may have asked about this before, I can't recall.

Strategy game, can't remember if it was real time or turn based, that came out 1-2 years ago. The most memorable aspect was that all the graphics were hand painted watercolors. I believe it was Roman themed and the visual style was similar to Civilization 3. I think it bombed because it just disappeared from my timeline over night.

At The Gates, possibly? It's Roman, recent, strategy, Civ-like, and watercolory.

This has legit been bothering me for ages lol. Back in the dotcom bubble virtual desktop buddies like BonziBuddy got popular. There was one that was intended for “adults”, a red haired dancing stripper. This character got popular enough to have a few bizarre rear end video games, one in particular a kind of Tomb Raider style action game with cartoon violence and nudity. I want to say the character was named Valeria or Linda but for obvious reasons it’s impossible to Google “animated desktop stripper.”

I'm trying to remember an old-school JRPG. The game started with a powerful female party remember that is uncontrollable, but then she loses all her power and joins your team. You can control your own character and other teammates, but she remains uncontrollable almost till the end until she exits your party (if I recall correctly). I think she had blue hair and that she came from the moon or something, but that might be inaccurate.

Did she start out wearing a weird red outfit that looks kind of like a judge's robe? If so, it could've been Lunar: Eternal Blue https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar:_Eternal_Blue

That would be Lucia, who is effectively the herald of the goddess and due to reasons, the acting goddess now. She's actually uncontrollable for the entire game, funnily enough, but it works out well because she can react to things that happen the turn they happen which is nice. I'm so glad that someone else remembers one of my favorite games
