Have there been some a lot of tank games? Probably obvious but there's war thunder and world of tanks? Those aside there are a few simmy tank commander ganes, but the only one I remember easily is Sprocket, which is more like KSP for tanks.

Aiming lines make me think of Comanche but that's a helicopter, not a tank... And also really, really old.

I haven't played any of the more recent ones but I remember Operation Flashpoint having a lot of in depth tank stuff that took multiple players to operate.

Got two games that flashed randomly into memory the last couple days. One is from the very early PS1 days - might even be launch-era. It was an FPS where you were in a vehicle of some kind: your view tilted when turning and moving forward/backward, and in fact you only looked straight forward when you moved forward - when stopped your screen was mostly black skybox from looking 30-45 degrees upward by default. Very dark, monochrome environments. The second or third level might have had a really irritating key-hunt? I didn't play much of it. The other is early Dreamcast - again maybe launch-era. It was a top-down run-and-gun game where your primary armaments were bombs of different colors & effects - you started with blue, then got red & yellow ones throughout the level. One of the first couple levels was basically running around on wire catwalks above a factory floor of some kind, I think. Felt a bit like some weird 3D Bomberman knockoff with a more typically human (if still anime) protagonist.

I used to play this game on a computer at school, probably 1996-1998 or so but it could have been older. You basically either had to travel through a castle or possibly a mad scientist lab and collect parts to do...something. I think you played a kid and it was somewhat point and click. I also remember a small robot that may have been with you or you may have been building the robot. I thought it was called Maniac Mansion forever but looking at it that definitely wasn't the game. The graphics were less cartoony. I do believe Mansion might have been in the title but I'm not sure because googling brings up nothing.

ALFbrot posted:Castle of Dr. Brain is an excellent example of a theme song that absolutely fuckin rips beyond any reasonable expectation The way PC sound suddenly evolved with Adlib sound cards in the late 80s to become an artform in its own right in the early 90s always amazes me. There were some serious bops in the DOS era, and Sierra were as good as any at it. It's unrelated to any requests in the thread, but one of my favourite unreasonably good soundtracks to an old crusty DOS game with a production team of around five people: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJaUh_GmuBg&list=PLA7A8EBC29009E62B

This one was a demo I played in the mid-aughts. I recall downloading the demo alongside Temple of Elemental Evil demo. It was an isometric RPG with a graphical style very similar to Pillars of Eternity in that the levels are detailed pre-rendered scenes and the characters are 3D models. I only recall one character, a woman with fiery red hair. The only plot beats I recall is that you're at an abandoned castle with a wizard who tells you about the power to shift between realities so the gameplay involved phasing between the real world and spirit world but I don't recall anything else.

Kult: Heretic Kingdoms It's actually a pretty neat ARPG, you gain skills by using items (each item has some skill associated with it) and as you mention the spirit world shifting is fairly unique.

Hey gang! What's this NES game I'm thinking of? I think it was overhead, and played kinda like Legend of Zelda. You could go to shops and haggle with the shopkeeper. If you haggled too much they'd get angry with you (there was a portrait of the shopkeep). I feel like the shopkeeper wore a turban but am not sure... I think it was either in a forest or at least a part of the beginning took place in a forest. I feel like I could never get out of the forest. I only played this at my cousin's house when I was like six or seven years old...

This sounds exactly like the type of game you forget about and then weird poo poo like this forever stays in your brain, and you come to a thread like this and ask about it. I played the poo poo out of Bio Miracle as a kid, thanks to a local rental store getting in some bootleg famicom carts (and I already had a converter from owning another bootleg famicom compilation, 31-in-1), and for years, before the Internet was what it is today, I'd try and try to find that "weird baby mario game where you shook your bottle at animals, and you could inflate them and then ride them as they floated around in the air".
