FelixMeOneMoreTime posted:PC game from the mid-90s, required the disc to play but no install required. It was a golf game with a top down view, kind of like Candyland golf, but far more basic graphically. You'd click the ball and drag in the direction opposite to the direction you want to send it in, in order to swing. It was a fantasy crazy golf type of game, with four sets of 18 holes if I remember correctly. Lasers and guns were some of the obstacles, and they'd destroy the ball. Pistons too. I'm not sure if it's a legitimate game or just some shovelware from the bargain bin, but it was incredibly fun and I want to play it again. Best guess assuming you're misremembering a few things: http://www.mobygames.com/game/dos/fuzzys-world-of-miniature-space-golf

Morpheus posted:So reading through the LP of King of Dragon Pass has reminded me of a game I played in high school (around 2000, I suppose). I don't remember much of it, but I'm pretty sure it was an RPG, and it definitely had Norse cultural roots, in that there were things like Jarls in it (that's really the only word I can remember). I'm pretty sure it had an isometric view. My best guess would be Darklands but that's probably way too early.

From what I remember the city was reduced to rubble and it was hot as hell, sandy and very dry so I'm thinking Las Vegas type location. The main character was a guy who is trying to just survive. Anyone know what game I am talking about, I'm not actually sure if it was ever released.

DKWildz posted:Trying to remember an arcade game I played in the mid 90's. It was a multiplayer brawler type (I want to say 1-4 people, but maybe just 1-2). The most distinct part of it I can think of is that the characters in the game (good guys and bad guys) were kinda cartoony with smaller bodies and big heads. The sprites were 2d but 3d gameplay (in that you could move in all 4 directions along the ground as it scrolled). http://www.mobygames.com/game/combatribes http://www.mobygames.com/game/snes/stone-protectors I remember spending like $20 beating Combatribes at the arcade when I was a kid...it was really hard, okay?!!

MiltonSlavemasta posted:There was also a different game, a top-down RPG with graphics kind of like the old Gold Box games, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't one of those. It had character generation and your starting characters died really easily, but you could hire mercenaries. I think one mercenary looked like either a chick or a dude with long hair and had a spell called Dragon's Breath that absolutely wrecked everything. Also, I remember if you got poisoned then rested in an Inn, you died. Never played them but maybe The Magic Candle series? This could be a ton of different games; the more descriptive the better.

The unique thing about it was that you could customize what your character's moves were from a big list. Aside from that, it may have been a Kung-Fu game, it was pretty terrible to play, and the developer or publisher's logo was something like a wooden cart/covered wagon/horse-drawn carriage and either ended in "soft" or "softworks".

Allen Wren posted:Alright, here's one that haunted my nightmares for a week or so in much younger days. There was a mini golf course in Hamlin, PA in the 90s that had a tiny arcade, and I got a brief look at the attract screens and it weirded my poo poo directly out. I want to say it displayed screens of some sort of urban setting and had text featuring the grim and gritty main character ruminating on his family, for whom he was presumably OUT FOR REVENGE. I mostly remember the text reading something like "MOTHER... FATHER..." in large red letters in a creepy font. I have suspected it was developed by Tecmo, since the font used for this text reminds me of that in the continue screen in the arcade version of Ninja Gaiden, but I've been unable to locate this mystery game via poking at Tecmo's production history on google and such. Any ideas? Longshot: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6KFBcN_Ya2k
