Space Empires 4, perhaps? Or an earlier game in the series? Has the whole lo-fi thing going on and loves its square grid (although none of the screenshots on their site have it on). It is a full-on 4X though, not much small scale about it. http://www.malfador.com/se4.html

Pladdicus posted:A game maybe sometime in the early-mid 2000's I played a demo of on Cnet. It was very much like Majesty, where you ran a kingdom but your heroes kind of did their own thing, it was kind of simmy with management of heroes buying their own gold. It has been awhile so details are shoddy. Could be Medieval Conquest, a Majesty-knockoff from about that time. Wasn't very good though.

A PC game that was probably made around 1995-1997. Right around the time Death Drone, Hyperblade, and maybe Daggerfall came out. I've only played the Demo of the game and it was a side scrolling shooter that could be played split screen. One player controls a human and the other controls a alien of some sort. You walked around and enters doors till you found the other player and killed one another.

I'm trying to find a 3rd person PC game with N64-level graphics. You play as a blue-haired guy with psychic powers. There were powers that shot an energy ball or a bunch of smaller homing balls. There were also powers that raised or lowered the terrain or jump high and run fast. I remember there was one level with a trench you go through and fight a plant boss and the boss of the game was a bunch of roots that come after you like tentacles in a forest level. There was also a magma level with a bunch of plateaus. You went around collecting something. I think it was made by one person.

I'm looking for a really old (late 90's/early 00's) WWI arcade flight sim. I barely remember a thing about it, but for some reason the music's still stuck in my head. One of the few things I still remember is that the last mission of the Central Powers' campaign featured the famous Fokker Triplane, but apart from that, nada.

Here's one for you: I remember this SNES game, it had an isometric view. If I recall correctly, the background was often a black expanse, and there were just a lot of geometric shapes. I think you played as a ball or something navigating a stage of cubes and ramps and other things. Beyond that I don't remember too much. I don't THINK it was Marble Madness, which would have been on Genesis (it's possible I'm thinking of this game, but I REALLY strongly remember it being on the SNES).

This is less the name of a game, but it's game-related and I can't find a more appropriate place to ask. Years and years ago, somebody wrote a lengthy, ambitious, detailed FAQ/walkthrough for Final Fantasy 3/6 that was completely fake. A 3rd world, tons of fake characters including the obvious Kefka/Leo to more elaborate ones like Mega Man X, all detailed and with their own movesets etc. I can't seem to find it anywhere, and I'd love to dig it up; it was so detailed and crazy that it actually made for a really entertaining read.

Those were called FWAKs and they were all the rage on alt.games.final-fantasy back in 1996. Try Google Groups, you may be able to dig some up.

Okay, I *think* I've might have asked this one before, but I don't remember. I remember playing a game when I was a kid that you controlled a character and you had to find the keys in order to unlock the exit that was hidden on the map. It's very fuzzy except for the last "stage" where you control a giant suit of armor made of the parts who had been collecting in the previous stages. You controlled it by stepping on the arrows above it and you had to navigate your wait past these birds with bells to unlock the three doors that was guarding the dragon on the next screen. If you touched a bird, it would ring and return you back to the beginning of that screen.

I'm not sure if this one has been asked before but I'll give it a shot anyway. I recall playing a game during the 90's on my cousins PC where you were the commander of a space station and it's flightwing, stationed near an enemy empire border. You were haunted by your old commander and you had several different pilots with their own personality that you had to manage. You were also rewarded with better equipment depending on how well you handled the missions. Do anyone recognize this game?

I'm trying to track down a game I fondly remember from my childhood, so far without luck. The games was either played on C64 or 386, surprisingly I can't remember exactly. The premise of the game was that you were stranded on a deserted island, and the objective of the game was to build a ship and escape the island before a great storm hits. The challenge came from balancing the time spent building the boat, as well as collecting water from a well, and gathering gold from a nearby mine to take with you when you escape for additional points. Does any of this sound familiar to anyone here? Help is greatly appreciated!

Had a quick look around, unfortunately that's not it. The view was top-down on the island, it took a certain amount of time? to move from the well, or to the mine, or to the shipbuilding area. So you had to make sure you had enough water or something to move between locations but also get the ship built. I think you were in control of a number of people. edit: Found it! Gold-Dust Island. Thanks!

My girlfriend(!) showed me a werewolves vs. humans multiplayer deathmatch game a while back but neither of us can remember the name of it and I can't seem to find it on Steam at all. All I can remember is that it looked similar to Vampires vs. Humans and the other classic HL1/2 deathmatch games and that the werewolves could infect the human players rather than outright butchering them to turn them into werewolves too.

This one has been bugging me for awhile. I remember seeing a game previewed in a magazine in the mid to late 90's for either the Saturn or the 3DO. It looked like a super anime colourful Zelda clone. I think there was an area set in the branches of a tree and you got a pair of shoes that made you heavy so you could drop through floors. There was also a blonde princess who'd been turned into a duck or a swan. I can't remember if the dialogue in the screencaps was in English or Japanese so there's a chance it never even got localised and just dropped off the radar completely.

Close, but no. It had a male protagonist and a top-down perspective.

The only games in this style I can think of for Saturn is The Legend of Oasis and Magic Knight Rayearth which seems to fit your description the best (blond princess, cute anime style, drop through floors) but you play as three women.

I remember playing this Chinese computer game about a decade ago. It's basically summed up as The Game of Life, except with demons. Basically, you roll dice to move along a game board representing stages in your character's life, from grade school to employment, or something like that. Also, you're fighting demons along the way. Then at the end, you fight the demon king on top of a skyscraper. I don't remember much about the battle system. It was turn-based, I think? It might have had something similar to an ATB system. I just remember there being a shield ability that was useless. There were mini-games as well. I remember one where you had to light a fire to scare away a monster. It was weird and Chinese, anyone know anything about it? cuntman.net fucked around with this message at 21:45 on May 9, 2013 |
