DaveCG posted:I'm trying to remember anything other than pumpkins and cogs as harvestable thingies, I think that in between missions you'd get a briefing screen with hand drawn ink line art of the main monsters in that level, and if I remember rightly (although I could be mixing two games together here) the storyline was something like a dark taint running through the land and theses monsters were appearing. Geez... The Horde?

There was a... firefighting game for the SNES. Modern setting, kinda looked like Zelda 3. Starred a dude with a mustache and his sidekick. Went through buildings putting out fires until facing a "boss" fire at the end. Was actually a really good game, if I recall correctly. But I can't remember the name; all I know is, it's not Ignition Factor.

There was a top-down game on the Amiga. I don't remember much about it, but you might've controlled a green circular object and you basically had to collect stuff. Levels took place on a grid (and were fairly huge, with scrolling), and you could fall off ledges. Gameplay-wise, it was essentially Super Monkey Ball without the tilting. That's all I've got to go on. It might have been included alongside James Pond in an Amiga bundle, but I'm not sure. Edit: Found it, "Cloud Kingdoms".

evilmiera posted:The first one was a blend of zelda and some secret-of-mana like RPG I believe. You were in a school or possibly church, and found various items lying around (like a wheel and apple cider (which turned out to be vinegar if you tasted it). You saw ghosts at some point, and the demo ended with you being told what awaited you in the full game, properly ending by seeing some big evil demony guy you were supposed to beat. (I know that pretty much describes every RPG out there, but that's about all I remember, aside from a clock tower playing some signifance). Oh, and you were possibly trying to escape at the end. Don't remember why. One of the Neophyte demos? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neophyte_(series) Hakkesshu fucked around with this message at 21:14 on Mar 25, 2010 |

Grifter posted:One was sort of like an FPS, but in a medieval setting. You could pick up different weapons like swords, or a wand, or a crosswbow. I only played the demo, but I played it a lot. I seem to remember that there was also things you could eat to up your health like fruit or meat. There were potions you could take to have various effects on yourself, like one spot where there was a giant pit but you could reach the bottom of it by taking a lot of potions that made you lighter. I also remember a hallway that a boulder rolled down and you had to work your way up it. I think there were different missions you would select from a selection screen, but I only ever played one because it was a demo. It was not Hexen, it was closer to an RPG (I can't remember if it had leveling) where Hexen seems to be closer to pure FPS. The last thing I remember was that despite being somewhat 3d, the graphics were pretty 2d. If you moved around trees you could see that they were actually flat objects. Witchaven 1 or 2?

Are you sure it isn't "Rockford"? The main dude is a man, but actually does sort of look like Kirby on the title screen, with the pink head. I remember playing that game, and it definitely had the infection element as well. Edit: Off-topic, but it has the best boxart.

Earthkrash posted:I have another old game for you guys. It's a pc game with some sort of winter (I think) world map where you could walk and get into levels (like final fantasy, but it's not an rpg) of which one of them was a hut (?). The levels were puzzles-like, If I recall correctly, maybe some sort of platformer too. It was 2-D. I also think the protagonist was human, but I'm not so sure. It's probably one of the Commander Keen games or one of the other Apogee platformers (Crystal Caves, Secret Agent). Though I couldn't tell you which one has a snow level.

Drunk Tomato posted:This game came on a demo disc bundled with an XBOX magazine in about 2005ish. From what I remember, it was a 1st-person historical war shooter. The thing I remember most was that it was ridiculously gruesome. You could shoot at corpses and completely tear apart the bodies, removing guts and limbs and everything. It was actually pretty shocking how gory this game was. Anybody know what I'm talking about? Soldier of Fortune 2? Lord Master posted:Worth a shot... What era was the graphical style?

My girlfriend is looking for a game she played back on the SNES -- something like Castlevania (side-scrolling platformer with a similar art style) and lots of outdoor levels. She thinks you played as "a blond dude with lots of muscles and either a whip or a gun". This could be any number of games, so even a little bit more info would make it easier. I'll list a few, though: Hakane, X-Kaliber 2097, Run Saber, Gods.

MegaCharger posted:I vaguely remember this Japanese action RPG/RTS mix for the super nintendo that I played back in the 90s. It's very unique in that the battles take place on a top down grid and you move your character around, you just move next to an enemy and your character auto attacks. You can only control one character at a time but your army can contain dozens of guys, you can switch control between characters while the computer assume control of everybody else. Ogre Battle?

Darm posted:A friend of mine is looking for a 2D side-scroller that was most likely for the SNES. Her memory is rather hazy but it featured a life bar made of 5 or so hearts, a first level going up or down a steep hill, a frost level in the sky, and a castle at the end that you were trying to get to the whole game story-wise. The hero resembled Megaman to a degree and it was a short game. I personally checked a list of SNES platformers on GameFAQs but I could not identify it sadly, so there's the slight possibility that it was for another system from the same console generation (the graphics were distinctly 16-bit). Sounds like Sky Blazer

GammaShade posted:I hate just jumping into this thing without being able to help anybody else out, but there's a game that's been driving me completely crazy for years. It was a super old-school (early- to mid-90s at the latest) PC adventure game, first-person, in trilogy form. It had a definite horror slant to it. The opening screen of the first game was an alleyway in the middle of a city, with the player looking out into the street. I think at some point you descended into some sort of twisted nightmare world -- I remember a white river with weird, disturbing plants growing on its banks, and I think somebody had drowned in it. (That might have been part of the second game.) In the third game, you had to go into a cave and solve a bunch of standard adventure game stuff to light up the eye sockets of an enormous skull. The skull might have been blue. It's not a trilogy, but Waxworks?

It's either that or Crush, which was a similar game. The MC Escher reference probably cements it as Echochrome, though.

Anyone remember a game on the Wolfenstein 3D/Blake Stone engine (or similar tech), where you crash landed on a tropical island? You started out in a plane, and would move into the jungle, where a bunch of voodoo-esque zombies would attack you. I believe one of the weapons was a machete. It probably had a really generic name like Escape From Zombie Island or something.

If you investigate the eyes a big frog rises from the water and eats you whole.

Alright, I got one. Probably the only one that has really bothered me through the years. It was an arcade platformer. Possibly a Japan-only release. Graphically am I reminded of early 90s arcade games like Spinmaster or Hammerin' Harry. Very colourful, with big sprites and Japanese aesthetics, i.e. characters with exaggerated expressions. Now, your character was a chef or something. I say chef because I remember you starting next to a comically sized Chinese/Japanese diner. I seem to recall you wearing red, but the stand out characteristic of this dude was his arms; they were situated high on his shoulders, making him neckless. Also, they were stretched out to either side, which struck me as a really odd design at the time. So, he wore red, had a large head with a small body, arms spread out full like a cross. I don't remember much of the gameplay itself, but during the first stage you came across a gigantic dojo that you had to enter from the top. You then went through different levels to eventually exit from the bottom right. Any guesses?

It has to do with the voice actor of Deadly Premonition's Agent York, Jeff Kramer, who was also the voice of Seaman. I heard somewhere that he did voice work for another game- Japanese, I believe- and I think the entire game was escaping from an earthquake. More than that I cannot recall. Well, there're the Disaster Report games as well as Disaster: Day of Crisis. Aren't that many other earthquake games out there.

In the demo, you start out in a little apartment, everything is dirty and worn. Some guy is also shouting at you, telling you to turn off the TV. I also think I can remember that to get into your inventory, you click a little paper doll that looks like yourself, but I'm not entirely sure. Normality.
