This was a SNES game where you started as a fish, and as you played you ate various enemies and plants to earn evolution points, which you could spend to swap your fish parts with better ones. Eventually you reached land and evolved some legs, and so on and so forth until you eventually became a human. It was a weird kind of rpg-beat'emup-platformer hybrid that didn't excel much at being fun, but was addictive because you just wanted to make the coolest little fish guy/frog guy/dinosaur/bird/humanoid. The final boss was like a weird genetic blob that spat out previous bosses to fight you.

I asked in a previous incarnation of the thread and nobody was able to turn anything up, so maybe we'll have more luck here. This is a game I never played, but saw screenshots of in a gaming magazine and was fairly excited about. It was an RTS game set in the stone age. One race controlled dinosaurs while another controlled mammals. Both races were cavemen and their units looked pretty much the same other than the mammal/reptile split as they advanced up their tech trees. There may have been other races as well but I don't know for sure. What I *do* know is that this game was not Paraworld, which is the only RTS I can find featuring dinosaurs, unless it was, perhaps, an extremely early variation on it. I'm fairly certain the title of the game in the article was Dawn of War, but if that is correct, it either never came out or somehow made such a little splash that it completely disappeared from the internet by the time the Warhammer 40k RTS of the same name was released.

Pablo Gigante posted:Jurassic War? This is older than I remember seeing the article (early 2000s), but it may have been an old issue or just an article about an older game, and this is much closer to what I recall than Paraworld anyhow, so props either way.

Zeether posted:I'm trying to remember the name of this one game where you built dungeons full of traps and monsters would invade it. The game used some Doom assets and had an announcer, and I only saw it on a Speed Demos Archive stream. Others have already said it, but I'll eat my hat if this isn't Dungeon Keeper. You get invaded by heroes, not monsters, BUT there are aggressive monsters in some areas that you need to tame or kill. The game didn't use any DOOM assets, but some of the things had a similar style to it.

Horror game on the dreamcast. It was a pretty huge game, like 3 or 4 disks, set in some snowy mountains after a plane crash. The main character was female, and the game was in third person but you hunted in first person and combat took place in rpg-esque random encounters that were separated from the overworld. The plot involved weird, blob-like aliens of some sort. It played much like an adventure game and had a sort-of-open-world approach where you could trigger certain events in different orders by going to the wrong place and that would effect future cutscenes.

Neo Rasa posted:D2. Pretty cool game too actually. Wow, that was fast but yeah, this is it. I remember thinking it was pretty cool but I never got past the first disc because I'd get stuck on some puzzle every time I tried.

This was a handheld game, for a Nintendo system but I'm not sure which, GBA or above but I think the action was in 3D (that is, as opposed to 2D, not stereoscopic), so probably an early DS title. It was an SRPG where you are transferred to another dimension where bugs from our worlds can turn themselves into giant robots, but then need humans to pilot them. It was pretty deep, with lots of customization stuff, and I remember it being extremely difficult toward the end.

Genpei Turtle posted:Total long shot here, but I'm looking for an Apple II game they had on the computer labs in lower school, probably mid-late 80s. It was, as best as I can describe it, an ecology simulator where you set parameters of the various animals and let things run and try to make it so that no species go extinct, either by getting eaten by predators or over-reproducing to the point that they starve to death from lack of resources. I'm pretty sure the animals weren't actually real animals--they were either abstracted fake animals or the game took place on an alien planet or something. I don't know if this helps but I recall a game very similar to what you're describing being on terminals at a local zoo or aquarium or science center or something along those lines. I would have been playing it in the mid 90s, though.

liquid courage posted:It had a camera for each player, and took your picture to go along with your high score. Worst idea ever. I mean if people are going to put in their initials as "rear end" and "DIK," imagine what a field day they'd have with that feature.
