I'm trying to remember a breakout-style game from at least over a decade old, you control the paddle and hit the ball against the bricks to break them. There are power-ups you can catch or avoid that fall from the bricks, they increase or shrink the size of the paddle, give you more balls or make the ball continue through blocks. Some of the blocks take more than one hit to break. Edit: I found it - -~- Krypton Egg -~- Mantari fucked around with this message at 05:59 on Apr 23, 2022 |

Not to sound too snarky but it was good you figured it out yourself since you described literally every Breakout clone ever made there.

One big difference with Krypton Egg is the enemies and Gradius-like boss battles.

This is not entirely fitting the thread, but I've been trying to recall details on a home console/computer that my aunt and uncle leant to me and my siblings somewhere in the late 80s/early 90s. It used little magnetic cassette tapes (like answering machine tapes) to load games off of. It had a big, black mechanical keyboard that was extremely satisfying to use. It had little wired joypads to play the games with. It hooked up to the TV and had a command prompt to launch stuff. Among its games were a Pac-man ripoff called, I think, Ghost Hunter. Also a racing game, I think a Pong ripoff, and a text-based Russian Roulette game. I don't *think* it was a major brand, probably more like a Commodore clone, but I'm hoping you guys can point me in the direction of the type of old home computer I could look for.

I’m trying to remember a souls-like (I think?) where there’s a giant chained up bird with a plague doctor mask or something that might be for upgrading weapons? I have no idea why I’m drawing a blank on this. It could have also maybe been from Pathologic 2 but it’s been ages since I tried that and I don’t remember any kind of hub world like the DeS Nexus and I really thought that’s where whatever it was was located. Just a weird thing that has been stuck in the craw of my memory for a few days now.

Medullah posted:Magnavox Odyssey? Doesn't seem to quite be it, the keyboard it had was more of a plain keyboard. I think it had clear plastic caps that could be pulled off, I remember some of them had colored pieces of paper slipped under them. Don't know if it helps, but it had a few colors to the games, wasn't black & white only. I think the games were like 3 colors. I recall the Ghost Hunter game having a blue background and red sprites. Pablo Nergigante posted:Mobygames says the Tandy TRS-80 had a Pac-Man clone called Ghost Hunter, it definitely had a tape drive and a big black keyboard Looks closer to what I remember, but I think the keyboard had a lot more keys... aach, I think it was probably an off-brand knockoff and there's little chance I'll find exactly what it was. Thanks though.

I'm no retro computer expert, but when my brain decided to work and I finally realized your earlier reference to answering machine tapes meant mini-cassettes (I'm a dinosaur and tend to remember machines that used the full size ones) I searched for home systems that used them and that popped up. Looks like it has those clear key caps, with a couple color ones, and there's a game called Ghosthunt that I can't seem to find actual gameplay of. Somebody on Youtube has the title screen, though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ZT9ZJfZ2SE&t=33s Ring any bells?

I didn't recall the game and instructions being Dutch, but it would make sense, since I am as well. I wonder if there's still working ones to be found...

Don't know if anyone will be able to help with this one - I'm having no luck with my searches. Looking for a 1930s gangster themed shooter. I recall it being isometric but may be slightly off on that. Major point that I recall is that one of the levels (the first maybe?) starts with a peaceful evening at a fancy restaurant before a car ploughs through the window and your PCs come out blasting the various mooks attendant. I remember playing this in an Arcade on a ferry in the early 90s. No clue on the name unfortunately.

I might as well as for another mid-nineties arcade game: an early 3D fighting game with manga-looking characters. The gimmick was that the fighters flew/floated inside a cube-shaped 3D arena. One had some kind of black hole/gravity attack.

I've got 2 that have been bugging me for a while. First one is super vague, I think it was a dos game, I'd say late 80s maybe very early 90s I played it. Black background, overhead game. I remember it involving turtles, and I think you had to collect a key and maybe red crystals? I was playing lemmings and pac man on the pc around the time. I've found most games from my early childhood but this completely escapes me. I don't think it was one of the boulderdash type games, I know I played paganitzu later on and that is not it but keeps influencing my memories of it lol. Other one i think would have been mid 90s, I think windows 95, using the windows frame/menus etc. Very primitive 3d motorcycle/dirtbike game, I think one of the modes you had to see how far you could climb a spiral shaped mountain. I think you could do stuff like edit your suspension, wheel size and width etc.

I recently saw a thread of a game that played kind of like pokemon but you could interbreed your pets and come up with weird combinations. The player character had a class and there were a bunch of options. WTF am I thinking of? edit: I think it was a newer game, the op I think mentioned there were plans for it to come out on mobile soon.

I'm trying to remember a weird old PC game, I can't remember a lot about it but it was isometric, you played a guy in a blue robe and he was fighting some kind of totalitarian regime with a golden ball? You could sneak around and explored a world map kind of RPG style.
