Indie game in development, hasn't been released. I recall seeing it in some direct (wholesome/Nintendo/Sony/idk!) but can't remember which of the dozens of shows I saw it in. It's set in a Disney-like world of funny animal people. You're the veteran of a horrendous war and just travel the countryside reconnecting with people. Featured Ghibli-esque visuals, soft colors and cel shading. Cute 3D characters.

I found it buried deep, Sunset Hills. My memory is pretty shoddy because the character art is all 2D lol. Sad to hear about Aka I liked the demo from last year.

JollyBoyJohn posted:Magic that's the one Just so you know, the NES version is an inferior port of the original MSX2 version. Among other changes, they had to replace certain bosses because the NES wasn't powerful enough to handle the original bosses. The original final boss (the Metal Gear itself) was actually removed completely, so the end of the NES version is a huge anticlimax. If you want to play the real version, pick up a copy of Metal Gear Solid 3. It includes English versions of the MSX2 Metal Gear games.

The version of Metal Gear from MGS3 is also available standalone on GOG. Konami doesn't seem to have ever actually announced this fact anywhere.  https://www.gog.com/en/game/metal_gear

This is a long shot, but there was a Shockwave plugin game from circa 1990-2002 involved being an extremely Gen X looking office man dropping water balloons on the street below. The better version was the original where it was a face on version of the building and you dropped balloons straight down. The second sequel (I never saw 2) was top down on a bridge. I'm pretty sure I played these games on either shockwave.com or. Games domain.com but it's been so long, there probably were other sites I went to back then.

Speaking of games dot domain, this one lives in my mind. There was a Greek website called games dot gr. It was hosting a bunch of flash games and the like It also had a "forum" aspect, where you could make an account, and post with various subjects and so on... And take part in a game. It was almost an RPG, where you could grow your stats, get spells and skills, and I remember most of it was around Final Fantasy (complete with ripped sprites of the GFs from VIII if I'm not mistaken). Does that game ring a bell? It was turn based, you selected what you fought from a list, and probably doesn't hold up at all, but I still am curious.

i'm looking for a game, quoting my own posts from the chat-thread here:SpiritOfLenin posted:there's an obscure indie scifi game i'm trying to find, does this description ring a bell to anyone: SpiritOfLenin posted:it was first person perspective, that i do remember. and noctis seems too old - can't remember exactly how long ago it was that i saw the game first mentioned here, but it was like within the last, uh... five years? i don't think it was quite that long ago, but i can't remember how long ago it was. i think the ship wasn't too big, it could feel vaguely claustrophobic at times SpiritOfLenin posted:nah, Duskers is a different game. the one i'm talking about was 3d, but now i am wondering if i mixed up the drone thing with Duskers or if both games had it

Sort of vague, but a game I randomly half-remembered when reading about Rise of the Robots: A robot fighting game with 3D graphics on PC, which I would have played in the mid-90s. I really don't remember any further details about it, but if the game I think I'm remembering existed, it absolutely had polygon graphics, so it wasn't One Must Fall.

Dang, that's tricky, the closest I can find is FX Fighter, which only has like a single robot, but it does have actual polygonal graphics. Doesn't happen to be the one does it?

If it wasn't on PC I'd suggest Tech Romancer. If it wasn't all robots I'd suggest FX Fighter. Edit: Zero Divide is a solid suggestion.

It might actually have been FX Fighter, or more probably FX Fighter Turbo. The graphics look about right, and seeing the praying mantis character definitely jiggled some memory back there. So I'm quite sure I have played that before. I'll leave it open for more suggestions but chances are it's FFT + the mists of time. (also, anyone else play the IRC version of FXFIGHTER back in the day?  )

Just to be sure that you're not mixing something up about One must Fall: 2097, it actually did have polygon graphics (may have been pre-rendered to some degree, but it certainly doesn't look like pixel art) so I don't see why that would exclude it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=snBVsMgV0NQ fezball fucked around with this message at 11:12 on Mar 21, 2023 |

One Must Fall also had a alter sequel, I believe called Battlegrounds or Battlefields or the like, which I think was full 3D? I remember reading about it in a magazine, but it must've been sound 2002

Yeah, Battlegrounds was way later (2003), and was more of an arena fighter or something with the camera behind your robot. I followed it before release, but never ended up actually playing it. Heard it was a bit of a dud, but still got the extremely rocking music I downloaded from the official website back then.

shen posted:1.) I am trying to find the name of a late-80s-early-90s Zelda-esque game for DOS that I remember playing about once or twice on my cousin's computer. It had a top-down view, and every time you moved to the edge of the screen you appeared on an entirely new screen to move around on (no scrolling, like the legend of zelda for nes). #1 turned out to be robomaze 3: the dome #2 was cyborg justice, for sega genesis, not nintendo. i only played it once at a friend's house when i was a kid.

Oh geez, even after nearly three decades this immediately jogged my memory of "I am the mighty Rygil, undefeated through countless galaxies, I have come seeking challenge" while he punches his hand as softly as a feather duster.

in school in the early-90s, 90% sure this was apple ii but maybe I'm off and it was dos, but the "game" was a truck driving sim, but you don't actually drive the truck, just select on a map like I'll pick up this load here and take it there via these roads and I'll speed or not doing it and then there'd be a little animation of how that went. Speeding could get you pulled over and ticketed but despite this being an education thing for schools was still sometimes worthwhile. I think you were specifically doing LTL and had to load/unload things in "order" within the trailer? IIRC most of the "educational value" is poo poo like can you figure out with a map that it's gonna take x hours to go from point a to point b and only accept jobs that are possible edit: money was also a thing and you had to buy fuel and also plan so as to not run out of fuel chairface fucked around with this message at 18:51 on Apr 16, 2023 |
