There was a really old old game, like maybe late 90's though honestly its hard to remember, but it was like a pseudo phsyics game, 2d and you had like springs and balls and ramps and you could like shoot a guy around. There was no real objective. I realize how vague this is but does anyone know?

This game is probably in the ps2/xbox or xbox360/ps3 not sure which though I think it was on the ps2 though not sure 100%. I rented it and forgot on what console. Only thing I remember is you play as a human maybe its a third person shooter. Only memorable thing it had was that you had two wolves you could use to fight with you. Completely forgot the name of this game. I rented it but never got to finish it even though it was fun.

The original still holds up as an arcade-y shooter with some bad early 2000s era minigames. There's a PC version that actually plays nice on modern systems. Kind of reminded me of Capcom's The Punisher arcade game done the way of Sega's Die Hard game if any of that makes any sense. Played a demo of the second and remember it being bloodless T rating and humorless so it defeats half the point. The third game is a good-not-great 7/10 action game.

Third person arcadey shooters are fun though even though they tend to be generic. Have you ever played John Woo's Stranglehold? That game is a total 7 but it is still easy fun. E:Yes its not on steam so I guess I'll have to fin another wya to play it.

It's in the same vein, actually. One minute you're chasing down dudes in a construction yard, then you're dancing in a strip joint as some lady that goes on far too long, but then you're doing a prison break adventure game getting into jail fights and then you're fighting someone in the back of a plane 10,000 feet up in the air and then you fight killer clowns and Wet is also good. And that Jet Li game I can't remember.

Which one do you recommend? The First one? Wet I actually wanted to play it forever but I don't really have any console set up right now. Jet Li game is called Rise to Honor, never played it but it looks like another ps2 brawler Matrix Path of Neo. Too bad we don't get more medium budget games in the current age.

I might just be going crazy here. I played a ton of RTS games as a kid, and by as a kid I mean the era of Age of Empires 2, Age of Mythology, Empire Earth, Rome Total War, etc etc. I never had a chance to play Age of Empires 1, I know that. I've been playing a whole bunch of Rome 2 Total War recently, and it's making me remember a RTS game from that period? that was focused? on the Greek States/Greek infighting/Greek history? ( or maybe it just had the first/easiest bit be the Greek chapter? ). It might not have been an RTS, but I can't think of anything else it could be. I remember knowing way too much about the Greeks because of this game, though considering I know very little about the various leagues/wars with Persia it obviously wasn't great at teaching much history. I know it wasn't Age of Empires 1 because I never played that. I know it wasn't Age of Mythology. I know it wasn't Empire Earth, because that was more of a tribal thing for the Greeks. What the hell am I thinking of?

If you say you know a lot about the greeks, that may not even be an RTS so much as like some kinda Sid Meier type game or something? The only RTS I can think of with much detail in the Greeks would be Age of Empires 1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Video_games_set_in_Greece

Seven Kingdoms I & II have Greeks as a playable civilization, but they're not historical games. I don't know. That's a tough one.

Captain Kevbo posted:Commodore 64 game where you controlled a spaceship and blew up bases (or maybe they were other much larger spaceships?). Top down and you could fly kind of like Raid on Bungeling Bay except you could also shoot in all (four, maybe eight?) directions. You had to destroy turrets and dodge obstacles when you entered the bases to get to their core which you destroyed. There was a gulf separating some of the bases that you had to cross that had enemy spaceships. Uridium maybe? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ks5-Zq6XAN4

No, but Uridium is a great game! The game I'm trying to remember was slower and scrolled in all directions.

al-azad posted:Is it not Parallax? Nope. You only stayed in your ship and it was definitely set in space. I think it even had some asteroids to dodge/destroy in the big gulf between some of the ships/bases. I think your ship was squarish, too, and didn't have any discernible front, sides, or back; it could thrust in any direction and shoot in any direction, too.

Back in the early 2000s I played a game that looked very simple even back then. I think it was an MS-DOS game. It didn't have much text but the little text there was, was in a for-me incomprehensible language, I think Hungarian. It looked rather simple, it had a black background and each player controlled a color, a moving "point" on the screen that would draw a line wherever it went. It played very similar to the Tron Light Cycles in that the point was to stay alive as long as possible, without hitting any lines. However, each player had only controls to turn left or turn right, and you could only turn so fast, so instead of sharp turns the turns looked circular. But the most striking aspect of this game, and the reason I would like to find it again, was that you could play with 6 players on a single keyboard and mouse simultaneously. Like, player 1's controls were Q/W, player 2's were Y/U or something and so on. Player 6's controls were leftclick/rightclick on the mouse. It was as chaotic as you'd think. If anyone has any idea where to find it, please tell me.

There was this NES game where you had a little spaceship and fought your way to some sort of power plant. The next part of the game, you bounced around this powerplant place with a jetpack shooting baddies and finding some sort of orb like power core. They'd you'd destroy it and need to GTFO before the whole place exploded.

Two different games here. One is a recent-ish indie space 4x game where you run a space empire and conquer the galaxy. It's known for being unwieldy and huge much in the same way Dwarf Fortress generates more detail than you'll ever explore. Has simplistic, menu based graphics and looks like a spreadsheet nightmare. Second game is 1992, text and menu based adventure with monochrome images. Alternate future where you're MI6 or some other secret agent in a dystopian England kidnapping, torturing, and assassinating suspects.

Unreal_One posted:The first one sounds like Aurora. Yup. Now to remember the second one. I can't remember if it was Mac or DOS but the aesthetics were intentionally bleak and monochrome and you'd look over dossiers that would say stuff like "Subject was tortured, gave up valuable information, subject died during torture."
