Wow, so this brought back a memory of a game that my middle school had in its computer lab. It would have been roughly 1995 or so, and it might have been on the PC but was probably on a Macintosh. This was an edutainment game that had, among other mini-games, a tool that let you create a music video using pre-created songs, samples, and animated dancers. There were several music genres you could pick, such as rock, rap, or electronic, and you could select different dancers to do moves in your music video. One dancer was a guy with parachute pants and no shirt, and another was a short stocky person who looked like an old school break-dancer. The music was effectively just MIDI audio, and you could trigger samples and change dance moves by clicking on buttons as the song played. When you were done, you were allowed to "save" the completed video and re-play it for your parents or teacher or whatever. Googling this is harder than I thought. Edit: I found it, it's called Lenny's Music Toons. Cidrick fucked around with this message at 21:42 on Nov 7, 2022 |

Very good hint. I'm not ready to actually play a mid-90s CRPG by myself, but it's nice to see somebody (PurpleXVI) who knows and enjoys the game to show it and highlight it's strong points.

I'm trying to remember a game that: - Was out on consoles and PC - Probably between 2000-2010 - 3D, probably third person - Set in a prison, I believe it was abandoned, or at least the history of it featured - It had a boss that was to do with executing people in a gas chamber, like he was the ghost of the executioner or something? - Had some enemies that had big green syringes stuck in them Does that ring any bells?

Around 2009 or so I played a top-down game on the Adult Swim website. It was kind of like Enter the Gungeon visually, but you're in hell and the main characters/villains were real dictators like Pol Pot. I think there might have been a weapon for every letter of the alphabet? I've tried looking it up on Google, but I can't find it. vv That's it!

freeware side-scrolling auto-scrolling platformer circa 2000 where your choice of characters is three different low-res photographed guys on "carts" (they're like two different handcarts and a hydraulic car jack) called like "super cart jumper" or "super cart racer" or something like that

PS1 era, pretty sure an action rpg where the battles are these like kinetic side scrollers - you jump and slash real time, not via selecting commands. It was definitely 2d pixel, not 3d models. The only other thing I remember is the main character had a like Mana-series art style but a bit more exaggerated and kid like. Maybe the main character had big blue hair (styled like Fire Leo from Kirby All Star) but a kind of small angry human-look and a sword.

Hello thread, I have been wondering about a game I half-remembered being in a playstation magazine I had many many moons ago. All I can really remember about it was that there it was a mission or level based game, definitely not an arena based multiplayer game or anything like that, though it might have had 2P duels? And there were a bunch of different characters to choose from, but all of them were on bikes of a sort. Maybe hover-bikes? I don't really recall. But all combat was done through heavily armed bikes or at least vehicles. One character's special attack was Twist and Shout, and I'm sure most of the other characters had music references to them as well. You would occasionally encounter the other playable characters as bosses in the levels, I think? Sorry, I know that's not a lot to go on.

I mean that should narrow it down a bit, check This list E: that sounds familiar actually, did it have a similar art style to Sable?

I think it was just your typical PS1 blocky 3D but I don't want to commit to it definitely being PS1, could be early PS2, but that feels wrong to me. Conceptually it's so close to Twisted Metal with Armored Core's gameplay structure. But on bikes. I looked through that list and a few other similar games lists but nothing seems familiar. I really hope I haven't "Evil Farming Game"'d myself into dreaming of something that didn't ever exist.

Jet Moto was definitely my initial guess, although I can't remember anything about character-specific special attacks.

I'm trying to remember a point and click game on windows, might have been in the mid 90s. All I remember is you need to solve some puzzles or something then you unlock the next part and venture deeper into the planet, like one layer deeper. Except it's not like regular earth caves, each layer is like a different biome. I think one layer had rays of sunlight, another had lava.

NES game (or possibly early mega drive), side on view, a shoot em up kinda like r-rype but you controlled a person, I think your bullets flashed between red and blue and I have a distinct memory of a level with an orange background and these guard tower things you had to fly over

There's this top-down, hyperviolent stealth/action game, a bit like Hotline Miami or Jydge but with more abstract graphics, that was in previews a few months back. The trailer had an AI who says "The way you kill people gets me so hot  " or something. What's it called? Is it still in production?

Many years ago, when a 500 mhz computer was considered fast, I used to play a deer hunting game that I cannot recall the name of (it wasn't Deer Hunter). I'd kind of like to track it down so I can see just how dated it looks and plays. What I remember about it: The weapons were rifles and shotguns. A large bore revolver was in the game but you had to do something special to access it. The game did not track ammunition. If you fired your weapon for no reason, the game would taunt you with phrases like "you're scaring the deer" and "you're wasting time and ammunition". The game predated WASD. You moved with the arrow keys, and had to hit Spacebar to bring out your gun (at which point you could mouse-aim).

Trying to think of the oldest Deer Hunting type games (that don't track ammo and are not Deer Hunter) I can think of, and "Redneck Deer Huntin'" (weirdly part of the Redneck Rampage franchise) is just about the oldest I can recall that's not some primordial hunting game for the Atari or something. Did it look like this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYp-BI6eXKI

It would have been out within the last 2-3 years, I feel like it was indie and was on multiple systems. Kind of cel-shaded, main character has some kind of futuristic motorbike and like an afro or just big hair.

An Amiga shmup along the lines of R-Type that never actually released until recently-ish on Steam. Has very Amiga spritework. Just can't remember the name, and tag-based searching on Steam is terrible.
