I think it was fantasy themed, you fired colorful projectiles but you didn’t see your weapon/hand. There were I think at least some rpg lite mechanics, at the very least some kind of shop system where you could by weapons/upgrades, maybe even keys and other things. Strife?

Looking at screenshots I’m 99% sure that it’s Ken’s labyrinth, the monster designs and color palettes are super familiar.

Holy moly. Had no idea of that game from the title or description, but as soon as I loaded up a video, I knew instantly that I had wasted hours as a kid trying to minmax it. I have no context at all for those memories other than the game itself. What a weird little artifact.

Freakazoid_ posted:not using the build2 engine? not a true successor Yeah, I think they/we (I have literally nothing to do with that decision) want to have a fun game, not a janky one. All respect to Ken Silverman, as he DID give us his blessing, but like... c'mon now. I don't think we're planning on having doors as a regular enemy.

cinnamon rollout posted:I've been trying to recall the name of a game where you had what were sort of like chess pieces, except they would do battle on the board, and you were a viking type of guy doing battle against another viking with magic powers that could affect the pieces on the board. This isn't an actual answer sadly, but random chatter on some Discord brought about King's Table: Legend of Ragnarok, which unfortunately probably still isn't the right game since I can't see anything about buying different units to place anywhere, but it did bring about the name of a boardgame it was adapted from - Hnefatafl, which maybe another videogame adaptation of is what you're looking for. It's Scandinavian in origin so almost any adaptation would likely involve vikings.

This is very cool, I'm starting to think I won't find the game unless I suddenly remember some much more useful details. If I ever do though, I'll definitely post about it here. This thread is great.

My friend is trying to remember a game from his childhood, but he cant find anything online. All that he remember is that it was a point and click adventure game. One of the character was a cat that could transform itself into anything by swishing its tail. But it transformed itself into a ball, and got stuck in that shape. Apparantly the aim of the game was to get the cat back in its original form.

There's a cat-like creature in Torin's Passage that can transform into different usable items but it's not the focal point of the game

Alright, gonna try this out even though it's a long shot. First, all I saw was a trailer and the game was indie, so I'm not sure if it was even released. I first saw the trailer for it on these forums maybe three or four years ago but gently caress if I can remember what thread. It seemed to be some weird puzzle-ish platformer, forward facing and with pixel graphics. The general color scheme was red and black and the main character was (I'm pretty sure) a lady. The trailer was bog standard but there was one bit that stood out; at one point your character generates about ten models on themselves at once; all the sprites get pushed outward and one of them gets pushed through a wall, landing on a door below. The trailer itself had kind of a dark, almost horror theme? Or at least unsettling. I think about it every so often and try googling but never had any luck.

Someone help me remember the name of this old PC game. It had really early 3D graphics but they were still just sprites. It was a fantasy battle game where you controlled 1 of 8 (I think) factions that represented typical fantasy poo poo; light, dark, water, fire etc. You had to travel across a map clearing out dungeons and building up armies of adventuring parties or.... something. Notably, it had really bad voice acting and a very cheesy cutscene that played whenever you lost.

I'm trying to remember a game that, at one point, featured an old shopkeeper who sounded fed up with you. When you end the conversation with him, he would say, very dismissively, "yes, yes; goodbye!" Not yelling or anything, but really a "yeah, ok we're done here" tone. I assume it's some sort of fantasy RPG, but I really have no other clues.

I think it's Clash at Demonhead that has shopkeepers who get annoyed if you don't buy anything but this is also something I've seen in at least a dozen RPGs over 25+ years.

All of the merchants throughout the game had different voices, so no idea where he was.

drat, I haven't played Diablo 2 (yes, I know), STALKER or Destiny, so those are all out.  Would it help if I described the shopkeeper as sounding really tired? Like he didn't say it in any sort of attentive or brisk way; it was really like "ugh, yeah, whatever, go away".

This is gonna be a long shot because I'm not sure if this game ever made it out of China, but it was a Romance of the 3 Kingdoms version of a Fire Emblem. You had units with types like infantry, cavalry, or archery. I distinctively remember a "But Thou Must" option in the Liu Bei campaign where you can either ally with Cao Cao or fight a mission where it seemed impossible to win.

If it was NES, chances are it was one of the multitude of Koei games that it published for the system https://nesguide.com/publishers/koei/ Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Genghis Khan, Nobunaga's Ambition, and so on.

That translates to, respectively, “Three Kingdoms: Legend of Heroes,” “Three Kingdoms: Legend of Kongming” and “Three Kingdoms: Legend of Cao Cao.” Ed: Eiketsuden got a Super Famicom release and had really primitive graphics in that version so that might be what you’re thinking of.
