There's this Famicom game where you play as four characters. I think one is a mouse and only one is a human (boy?). It was surprisingly good and each had different abilities. One character could walk on walls and I remember being really impressed with the controls for the time period. Geeze what was it called? My google-fu is not helping.

It also was on the same computer as Neptune, so it had better graphics. Then again I was really young and might be misremembering.

I played the poo poo out of a shareware game compilation as a young kid. It ran on our windows 3.1 computer and most of them were dos games, a whole handful were even ascii. It was on CD's though. Not even sure if all of them were shareware or what, in fact i'm pretty sure a lot of them were full games. Then again me at 6 years old sucked rear end at video games and probably never even got far in any of them. This is like 15 years ago I can't remember poo poo. It had pretty much every single dos game that people talk about, even kids games. Math blaster, reading blaster, raptor call of the shadows and all of the apogee games, corncob 3d, some F117 flight sim that i could never figure out how to take off. Dozens upon dozens of others I have tiny shredded memories of that I can't really describe without being too vague to matter. Scraping the bottom of my memory there was an ASCII game about mowing a lawn and a top down fixed camera racing game with upgradeable vehicles and weapons you could buy I think it was called Funbox or that might just be my mind filling in blanks, there were 3 CD's but I don't remember ever getting the second or third to work. The disk art was just one color of paint on top of the blank silver disk and had a similar design on all 3, green, purple, and tan. I found a picture of them on google images a long, long time ago, probably when I was 11 or 12 or so, but that's long gone. Probably lost to the depths of time.

RPG Maker game, 2000 or 2003. A city is under siege and destroyed. You play as a boy who goes back in time to save it. It's an adventure game with a lot of dialog and no actual combat. The highlight was the hand drawn tilesets that looked like SaGa Frontier 2.

So I'm watching old Vinesauce videos when I come across this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7jOoFG-NN5E Ignore the penis hood, but seriously what game is this? This looks like Spore for car nerds. I'm very interested to play whatever the hell it is just to screw around with it.

The interface is Spore so I'm guessing Spore. I haven't played Spore so I'm guessing this is where you build your spaceship or something and he just made one that looks like a dick car.

There's no actual gameplay but talking to people and maybe a mini-game or two and I'm sure the story isn't anything great but it's about 2 hours long and I wanted to check out the art again. For some reason "rpg maker game hand drawn backgrounds/saga frontier 2 etc." got nothing.

May have not actually been a full game and more of a tech demo, but I remember playing something about seven years ago that was a vertical shmup where you designed the boss and then got to fight it. I remember specifically that you were able to make different parts of the boss destructible.

Each time you beat a boss, it would evolve so that it was stronger to the attack that you had used to beat the previous boss. Not exactly editing the boss, but sort of.

Here's a title I'm looking for purely because of an associated song: a fairly complicated, kinda long chiptune track from the mid-80s. This might be the vaguest memory I've ever chased and it's bugging me. I can only remember nondescript hints that could reasonably be completely made-up. I remember it's well-known enough that it comes up in notable 8-bit track discussions every now and then. I remember it was from a game belonging to a somewhat modest console... I wanna say Commodore 64, but who knows. For some reason, I wanna associate a word like 'chase' or 'run' or 'escape' with the game's title, along with an animal mascot-ish character like a mole or something. The song usually gets remarked on for its complexity and hyper-frantic tempo, and I've got this weird feeling it's by a fairly renowned 8-bit composer of the time. It's the sort of thing that's well-known enough that I'd probably be able to track it down in 5 seconds if I had a single concrete detail, but I can't come up with anything.

You're probably looking for Ron Hubbard's rather amazing theme for Monty on the Run, for the C64. Here you go: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XpsN14TFy90 Considering your hazy memory, your description was pretty on the spot.

This is going to be really vague but I think it was a sega genesis RPG game that someone tried to release a sequel for that would be in a sega cartridge. It may or may not have come out a year ago? I'm not sure but I think they were working on an HD remake. Nevermind I found it myself. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pier_Solar_and_the_Great_Architects Hey, it comes out in March. Someone should make a thread about it. vvv thanks Philosopher King fucked around with this message at 06:06 on Jan 24, 2014 |

I feel like you're talking about Pier Solar which is a homebrew RPG for the Genesis (Megadrive really) that they actually managed to get printed on real cartridges. I think they're working on current gen versions of the game now, which is good because not a whole lot of people have actually been able to play it since it supposedly doesn't work well with emulators. e: noooo beaten

There's this game, p. sure I seen it somewhere on SA. It was like a browser (demo) of the game, (it might've been in greenlight during the time) 2D action-platformer type game where the terrain was completely destructible and all the player characters were kind of spoofs of classic action heroes (one was Blade, one was Rambo, one was Dredd, etc). It also had local co-op as one of it's main features. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

I'm looking for a game that I never actually played so not sure if anyone will be able to help me (but knowing this thread, someone will know). It's a soccer game for PSP (I am pretty sure). You play as the son of a famous soccer player and you have to recruit people to your team during school. I think this works similarly to how Blitzball works but not 100% sure. I think it is probably Japan only. I know that's not much to go on but I'm hoping it's weird enough that someone will be able to identify it.

So, I do remember a old game from my youth, but god drat if I could remember much more than this: It was an isometric RPG. You start off in a desert fightings against scorpions. It probably was sort of a diablo 2 clone. And that's really it, I am sorry. The game was on CD, if not even on two, iirc.

Not sure if "isometric" would be the first thing to come to my mind, but the Diablo clone and scorpion thing makes me think maybe it was Titan Quest. Also thanks to those who answered my nerdy PSP question.
