Or do you just mean normal FPS, in which case maybe Outlaws, a Lucasarts FPS in the dark forces engine. al-azad posted:Was it FMV/live actors or 3D graphics? Yeah that'll help narrow it down.

Zaphod42 posted:Fixed-position, like a light gun game like Area51? If so probably something like Mad Dog McCree. This is a fixed-position lightgun-style game. You were given a static screen and you had to shoot enemies with a crosshair using your mouse. Then you are moved to a new screen to shoot more guys. al-azad posted:Was it FMV/live actors or 3D graphics? I believe the graphics were pre-rendered background with sprite characters, like you might see in an old Sierra adventure game. Not 100% positive on this one. The game does seem VERY similar to Mad Dog McCree except it was not FMV and the title was a more simple, "western" word.

Doing some digging, the only PC lightgun game I can find that fits the bill is something called Smoking Colts, a game so rare that apparently no video footage of it exists online and there are not very many screenshots

Honestly the game HUD looks almost identical to Mad Dog McCree, so much so that I'm attacking my brain trying to remember if I'm totally wrong and it was Mad Dog after all. I'm just so sure the name was Desperado, or something like that... Well, I'm having my friend look around in his storage to see if he can find his old box somewhere.

I saw a news story this morning about an upcoming game where you drive a rickety Eastern European jalopy around, and it reminded me of some game I saw online a year or two ago. It was also a crappy car simulator, possibly Polish, where the player is supposed to spend a great deal of time fixing poo poo that's broken on their car. The website for the game looked like a Geocities nightmare. Anyone know what I'm talking about? Thanks!

My friend just let me know that he probably got rid of it long ago, but he agrees that he is pretty sure the name was "Desperado". EDIT: In his memory, the game was FMV. He says he is 90% sure. I showed him Mad Dog McCree and he agreed with me that it was very very similar, but not the same game. Probably a low budget knockoff. Like I said, we found it in some bargain bin at a bookstore.

Here's one. Its an old ps2 game, pretty sure it was turn based, you fight these ugly troll things. The terrain was also destructible; you could set a bomb off and the ground would deform and make a crater. The bit I remember best was this sniper robot guy who was great at killing everything, so I gave him all my upgrades so he'd be better at it. Then he died in a cut scene and all the upgrades I gave him were wasted. Stopped playing after that.

The only problem being how sure we were that the game was called Desperados. My best guess is that someone had repackaged the game in the Desperados PC box, and confused us when we bought it second-hand. Anyway, thanks!

Old PC game back when Floppy Discs were a thing. A Cyberpunk... I think it was traffic cops? But you drove a tank and sometimes a helicpoter in a top down shooter. Main character was a woman who at one point gets blown up and brought back as a cyborg. The whole plot was delightfully pulpy.

Super unlikely anyone will know this game from the vague description I can give, but hey, randoms helped me find fury3 on less... Kids game, sort of educational, WIndows 95 or 98. The protagonist was a Bunny I believe, but there were other characters that you helped. All I can remember is that you needed to collect a bunch of stuff to get into a castle. One of the mini-games was collecting the correct things that were going down a stream. Another of the games within the game was a side-scrolling platformer with some puzzle elements, and I remember alot of falling through holes in the floor and having to climb back up, and I also remember a bunch of fireman poles you slid down.

Here's a tough one , because as far as I know the game never came out. I'm just going off memories of gameplay trailers here. First person shooter, PS3/360 era, I think it was somehow related to CDProject. Either they were supposed to publish it or it was being made by ex-devs. The game itself was sci-fi/cyberpunk and had you fighting robots or aliens or alien robots. From what I recall, its main gimmick was that it used randomly generated weapons, sort of like Borderlands though with less of an RPG focus. Any ideas?

I wonder if this was finally cancelled because they started working in earnest on that official Cyberpunk 2020 game or what. Now that I think about it didn't a bunch of "the devs of _____ are doing a cyberpunk FPS now!!" games get announced around that time? Besides They there was Cyberpunk, Hard Reset (which did actually come out, this was the first game from the Shadow Warrior people who had also worked on Painkiller) and also Samaritan from Epic Games/Cliffy B. There's one other I can't remember. Neo Rasa fucked around with this message at 19:25 on Feb 24, 2016 |

I've got two I need help with: First, a recentish (2, 3 years max). NES styled platformer on PC(action platformer? I never actually played it). It has vertical bars on the sides which contain the UI to help constrain the actual game to a 4:3 aspect ratio and the dev guy did a whole bunch of interviews with various sites about adhering to NES tile limits, discussion of his colour usage, and all that jazz. I seem to recall lots of blues and purples in the hype pictures. Secondly, this other one I played in the computer lab in elementary school. I'm 28 now so early-mid 90s. Booted off of a floppy. In this game you were in a cave under a city attempting to restore power. You had to go from room to room, sometimes needing to install lightbulbs in order to have enough light to inspect the room, and then solve simple puzzles. Sometimes basic circuitry puzzles, sometimes just logic stuff like give the sleeping cave troll some meat. You had a bat companion who could scout rooms. This part is important because I swear the game is called something along the lines of "Batry's great adventure" or some such, as a pun between bat and the batteries you have in limited supply for making circuits. I've asked an old classmate of mine and he remembers the game too so I know I'm not making it up entirely, although I could be mixing up details.

The first one sounds like either Odallus or Oniken. Both recent, very blue/purple NES-style action platformers from the same dev. The timeframe matches Oniken better, but I believe only Odallus has the vertical sidebar UI. They cheat a bit with the NES limits but they definitely look the part.

It is most certainly Odallus. Thank you both. It's a very hard game to google for when that's all you remember about it.

What's the name of that indie game where a sun has gone supernova or maybe it was a black hole was about to swallow everything and you get to fly around on a ship to different planets and stuff? Not much of a description since I can't remember much else about the game, but I'm pretty sure there's only one game that's done that so

Top Down, Sidescrolling, First-Person or maybe just management or adventure style fixed backgrounds? Controlling the ship, the crew or just one crewmember? With that description it could be FTL just as much as it could be Outer Wilds.

16bit sidescrolling beat em up. I remember fighting a boss in a blimp with a glass floor. I think you could level your guy up a bit like river city ransom but not nearly as in-depth.
