Cream-of-Plenty posted: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? That's certainly not it. I don't recall this game having scopes, and it certainly was deer only - the vid you linked appears to have some sort of waterfowl hunting.

This is of no use to you but you reminded me of a Famous Grouse whiskey - branded shooting game that my ex gfs mum used to play in the 90s. She used to play that and Diablo, a cool mum.

Played this a few months ago but I cannot find it again: A simple strategy game set in ancient times. Was presented showing a British woman historian from the late 19th century researching European cultures. More like a board game. Looks a little rough being an indy game but has pleasing simple mechanics: Spend points into "tech tree" that will grant more points in future rounds or in army. Have not quite understood the army mechanics though. Any clue? Thank you. edit: NOW I found it: "Ozymandias: Bronze Age Empire Sim". It's not bad, give it a try if you are looking for something more simple. Sorry to bother you. lllllllllllllllllll fucked around with this message at 19:32 on Dec 30, 2022 |

When I would visit my grandma in the early to mid 90s, my uncle put some games on her Apple (glider, lemmings, zany golf). There was some first person adventure game that took place in space on a big space ship and I could never figure out how to play it, except that there was a vending machine where you could buy meals in toothpaste-style tubes. Any idea what game that was? Also I hope I haven’t asked this in the past. Second, another game I used to play later at her house was Myth. Is there anyway to play it these days? Edit: \/ it wasn’t starship titanic. I remember this having more pixelated graphics, like the doom guys face. Also I feel like the corridors were some ungodly shade of teal.

I only know of Myth 1 and 2 but they had pretty active fan development, look for Project Magma fan patches to play it on a modern machine.

A 90s point and click adventure game, you worked for some kind of supernatural agency and could pick a team of 2 characters to control. I think they were vampires and aliens and other weird things. That's all I remember

Does anyone remember a game with simple topdown asteroid like wireframe graphics where you could fly around and land on planets and conquer them? You could build spacestations to land on and other stuff. It had AI doing the same thing youd have to combat.

Thanks but not it. When i mean it looked like asteroids I mean it. Your ship was literally a colored triangle that had physics. I dont even remember how the build interface worked, it might have been win95 drop down menus? Edit: apologies if this is incredibly vague i just saw this thread and had to ask since its bothered me for years i couldn't remember

That may have been it! The school computers had all sorts of stuff on them. That game (gravity well) and that odd "massive" online starship troopers top down starship game are bright memories that taught me not to dismiss strange game collections.

The two puzzles with the little dudes was also a little annoying since there's nothing else quite like that in the game and takes a bit to figure out. https://lparchive.org/Torins-Passage-(by-Blind-Sally)/Update%2020/ And the slippery grass is the worst lol

Ok, here are two, and I have no idea if they're related whatsoever. I was looking up the game Prodeus just now, and that name reminded me of these: 1. Fps, very colourful world, the game seems, at least in my memory, as a very low budget indie game. You jumped really far, or at least around planets or spherical planes, and if you had a 'gun', it was goofy and silly. I can't remember much else. The weird thing is, I THINK I might have this game in my steam library. I think I played this once around 2017. 2. Indie platformer, has great music. I remember the ground being bright green and the sky being teal, and it looked like the whole thing was made in MS paint. The music was, at least to me at the time, its standout feature. No idea what the date is, but I believe I played it or a demo back around 2005. Again, the name 'Prodeus' reminds me of one or both, but they each remind me of the other.

Prodeus is a Steam FPS, but it came out this year so that can't be either game you're thinking of.

Might it be Proteus? That looks pretty ms paint to me and the music is interesting, but I can't tell how much it matches what you remember. edit: oh wow very wrong timeframe, nevermind, that came out in 2013. Pogonodon fucked around with this message at 23:24 on Jan 3, 2023 |

Sorry and thank you!) Pogonodon posted:Might it be Proteus? That looks pretty ms paint to me and the music is interesting, but I can't tell how much it matches what you remember. That's it! Maybe I played an early demo, or maybe I'm just misremembering a LOT more but THIS IS IT. You can see how the name popped back into my head. Thanks! Edit:  The Plot Thickens!

I'd kind of like to track it down so I can see just how dated it looks and plays. Let's see if we can start narrowing it down. Do any parts of Ted Nugent Wild Hunting Adventure or Field & Stream: Trophy Buck come close?
