Oh man, that reminds me, there was this 3D game I remember playing in-browser mid-2000s which ran very slowly because, 3D game in-browser in the mid-2000s, but it featured some kind of luxury sports car driving around the moon and I think that was it? More of a tech demo than a game but it was listed on some games site I think. The engine it was using was probably some obscure poo poo It may have been officially licensed

curious about an old java applet i just remembered, it was a sort of point-and-click mystery game, starring a sherlock holmes-like detective with a cartoonish design. i remember there was a coachman who called him "guvna" like every other sentence as a bit

Another one: it was on one of those 100 game demo discs back in the day, I think it was DOS, I feel like it was called.... Togra or Tougra or some sort of weird T word? It was caveman or tribal themed, I think you navigated in a first person view and there was at least one mini-game where you made arrowheads by holding the mouse and releasing repeatedly on a piece of flint with the arrowhead outline

There was some Korean flight MMO somewhere around 2010. It was less 'flight sim' and more "Star Fox." It had occasional PVP, but was more "Go out and shoot down 10 Craptors." (Yes, the I don't remember the name of the game, but do remember they had enemies called 'Craptors') It lasted like 4 years, but like every year it got shut down for like 3 months and sold to a different company, which would release it again and would last a year before going out of business. \/\/ gently caress, that's it. I remember it being AirRivals and being Space Cowboy for a hot second. Thanks The Atomic Man-Boy fucked around with this message at 03:46 on Oct 19, 2022 |

crossposting from GBS: I’m trying to remember a mid-90s? computer game. It was one of those educational/arty games for kids with multiple modules. The only module I can remember you would place moving colored spheres on a top-down fields. They would move with whatever momentum you gave them so you could get them going really fast. There were different fields with peaks and valleys that would make the spheres grow bigger or smaller as they moved. The whole thing had a real techno shiny CG vibe with a cool techno soundtrack

Vague one as this is a memory of when I was very young: DOS game, probably around 1990-1991. First person perspective, primitive flat polygons. You wake up in a room with a couple of coffins. If you open one of them you get attacked by a ghost (I think?) and the other one had a key to leave the room, but then there are more coffins that make you get attacked. I don't think I ever got past the second room but spent weeks trying to figure out what I was supposed to do (I might have been a very dumb six year old). Definitely before Wolfenstein 3d game out because I don't think I ever tried to figure this game out again after I played Wolfenstein and realised 1st person games could be good.

I'm looking for two DOS/Windows games, both from the 90's The first is an early 3D RTS. I think it was an RTS, anyway. It wasn't top-down, the camera was down in the action. This was early 3D but after texture smoothing became a thing so it looked like muddy crap. It took place on an alien planet with a bright blue sky and you started out with a little floating insect-like drone and you had to put down a big ugly hive to start producing other buildings and units. The first map or tutorial environment had an obvious location to put your hive in, a very defensible circular area built into the side of a large hill with only one way in or out of it. I could have sworn this was developed by Firaxis but I can find nothing like it in their games catalogue listings online. I know this one is vague but I've only got an image or two of it in my head. The second was earlier 3D with none of the texture smoothing so the textures were all pixelated. You had indirect control of an insect-like robot (although I'm pretty sure it only had 4 legs) and I think you had to either type commands at it or otherwise indirectly coax it do things, mostly walking around and avoiding obstacles and solving simple puzzles to progress through the levels. It had some rudimentary AI where this bug would supposedly get better and better at navigating the environment and following the player's instructions the more you played. Aesthetically it was a dark game, primarily blacks and dark blues with red and blue highlights, and it had the robot crawling through ducts and vents in sort of a cyberpunk environment. I think you could see floating cars whizzing by in the background as you played but I may be making that part up. edit: I found the first one, it's Dominant Species by Red Storm https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IFzneT1S2lY Ben Nerevarine fucked around with this message at 21:57 on Oct 28, 2022 |

Does anyone remember a game in the 90s, something like a point and click, but not so much of a story or mystery type? It was the sprite based game where this kid in (pink/purple/red?) overalls just kept navigating bizarre settings, and clicking on things would just make even more bizarre things happen? I think it was on something other than the Sega or Nintendo consoles. Probably a CD based system, as some of the sprites seem like they were larger than a cart could hold at the time. Probably PS1 or Saturn era game.

Someone remind me the title of an 80s fighting game that had a unique control scheme - twin sticks instead of stick+ buttons, the second stick was for attacks and functioned like 4 buttons. IIRC it had a cameo in some big martial arts movie of the time.

Here's a rough one. Someone I know is looking for a game and all they have is the memory of the box art! PC game, seen in a store in the early 2000s, box is white with a traditional 00s sexy lady on the cover with a white anthro rabbit dressed like a guerilla fighter, who has a machine gun and has his mouth sewn shut. It was one of those boxes with a flap cover.

I'm trying to remember a name of a game currently in developement, saw it somewhere like 1-2 years ago and forgot to follow/wishlist. It's an open world third-person game taking place in ancient Mesopotamia. You're a priest of some kind and I remember it having an insane magic system allowing you to do some crazy poo poo like throw entire buildings around.

complete longshot 3D space shooter a la TIE Fighter/Wing Commander, might have been freeware/abandonware or shareware. All I remember is that I played it around 2000 or so, and that it had a missile weapon called the "Bludgeon" that had a blast radius that was large enough that it was basically impossible to use without killing yourself, which I found hilarious when I was like 12 so I would just launch the game and shoot that thing over and over again.

I'm thinking about a 3D* CRPG for DOS from the 90s. You start on a sci-fi spaceship which promply crashes on a lush alien planet full of cat-like people**. Town-and-Dungeon-crawling ensues. There may have been undertones of colonization or other exploitation. *I do remember some 2D-JRPG-Elements, but that might me confusing it with Star Ocean or something. **And druids. Or cat-like druids. I have some memories, and i don't know if that game was just weird or if I confuse it with a _third_ game. Wipfmetz fucked around with this message at 13:24 on Nov 2, 2022 |

Trying to remember the name of a game : The demo was on a coverdisk CD for a pc magazine The year timeframe was around 1997-2001 at most. It was not, afaik, one of the bigger PC game magazines (gamer, zone, format) but a weirder one I think, more focused around software. I think the jewel case for the CD was white and blue. It was a rock/pop band simulator that started you out in a small studio. You could select parts (vocalist, guitarist, drums etc) and they were represented by people. They were not 3D models or claymation etc but 2D sprites that animated and each had a set personality, i.e grungy dude drummer, upbeat chick vocalist. Song management consisted of setting your people to do different pre-made parts that made up the collective song. In the demo I recall there were two songs, one of which had the lyrics 'give me a sign, let me know you're mine' or words to such effect. I think the different parts were very short loops and were intended to be put together across all the different bandmembers but you could put different ones together. In the demo I recall there were only a few people you could pick from. You could also view the sheet music for the song you made. You then went to record the tune, and I think you could do some tuneups there The demo ended with them performing at a stadium and 'buy the full game to find out how your ratings were, manage your band fully etc'

There are a surprising number of games that look like that sort of thing, but Rock Manager is the only one I'm seeing that's close to being from the right era. Music Band Manager looks close, but it's way too new. Maybe it's a remake/ripoff of what you're looking for. Dip Viscous fucked around with this message at 14:28 on Nov 7, 2022 |
