Trying to recall a game from my childhood; it was from the old Atari age, but I'm thinking it was on the Coleco Vision? I don't really remember any of this game except that...I think you were a key, or you had to get a key. And if you waited too long, a monster would come and get you and it had scary music. I know this is super vague, but it's one of those things that I can't recall any of the details but if I see it or hear it, it'll fill in all the gaps.

Adventure was my first thought, but no! It was Venture. Oh maaaan this video is pummeling me with nostalgia. One of the ROOMS is shaped like a key, agh, that I remember. Oh, the sounds! The music!

So there was this game which I am almost positive was a console JRPG from the PS2 era or mayyyybe early PS3? All I remember about it was that there was something that was very similar to Final Fantasy X's sphere grid, but this one was in 3D and had a lot of twisty things, and you would spend points (XP points?) to drive the ball along the path and....I think there were only like three tiers of levels, so you would cap out really early until the next tier could be unlocked... argh I can see it in my head.

Sakurazuka posted:Sounds a lot like the crystarium from FF13? Jesus Christ, that's it. I read your reply, and I thought, no that can't be right, but then I couldn't remember how XIII did the leveling so I Google Image Searched it, and it's exactly what I was thinking of. Well, that resolves that. Thanks!

Some time ago... I honestly don't know, maybe ten years ago? I dicked around with a really simple first-person-grid-based-dungeon-crawler construction kit. You basically just drew lines on the grid, and from there you could edit what the texture was, you could edit what monsters appeared, etc. in an interface kind of similar to RPG Maker's. I only briefly played with it, but I always meant to go back to it. Now I can't find any hint of it. It's like such a thing never existed except for really old titles like Forgotten Realms Unlimited Adventures and Bard' Tale Construction Kit. This was an indie thing, I believe -- I think it was freeware, even. But I don't know. I used to pirate a lot of games ten years ago, so it's also just possible I had downloaded it in some torrent.

An old NES game I played the hell out of. You were either a frog, a person, or an ape of some kind. You rode either a skateboard or rollerscates, and maybe you sometimes didn't? Maybe sometimes you rode an inner-tube? I remember the game took place, at least in part, in like a jungle. It was a hard game because you were usually (or always?) on a skateboard and you know how skateboards are in NES games. I can't remember any more than this. It's weird, because in my head, I can see it, like a memory, but these important key elements are missing. EDIT: Nevermind, I Googled "NES jungle skateboard" and found it. It's called T & C Thrilla's Surfari. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fBJGfejVljI

Trying to recall the name of this game, which for some reason I thought was "Death Head" or some variant thereof, but I guess I'm wrong? This game featured a kind of checkerboard, and it involved sending dudes from one side of the screen to the other. My memories are foggy, but I think of it almost like a competitive Plants vs. Zombies. You'd send them walking toward the right, and different units had different speeds or attacks. One of them was definitely a skull, and I think ITS name was Deth Hed or, you know. Something like that. This came out in the 90s, and I feel like it came out around the same time as Zoop.

We used to live across the street from this grocery store that had a selection of NES games that one could rent for two bucks each, which happened to be my allowance! So every weekend I'd go across the street and rent a game. Games like Rad, Two Rude Dudes, Wall Street Kid, and other just awful goddamn games. There was one I remember accidentally renting several times, fooled each time by the box art or the cool name or something. All I remember from it, was that it was an NES game, top-down, probably a strategy game. I think it took place in a desert? I seem to think it was a desert, because of all the yellow. I think it was turn-based. I seem to recall seeing things that I could identify were walls. Pretty sure it was on a grid. I think you could maybe identify rivers and bridges? Sort of maybe like a Fire Emblem kind of look. But it was very complex for little 6 or 7 year-old credburn. I don't think I ever even figured out how to play. But I really wish I could figure out what this game was, just so I could play it and find out what it was even about.

Thanks for the help, gang! I think the game must have been Desert Commander. In my blurry hazy memory, I don't recall there being modern combat units like tanks and such, but the color palette is definitely what was in my mind, and the rest of it looks like what I was talking about. And it looks like a game that would have excited 7 year-old-me until I started playing it and realized how complicated it gets.

There was a game my father got me way back in the DOS days. In it, you were a guy riding a motorcycle, it was 3rd person, and everything had a very simple geometric look to it. I remember it kinda reminded me of Spectre, but a little more detailed than that. But it was a big empty world with big geometric ramps and things you could ride your motorcycle over. I don't remember what the point of the game was... but I do remember you could build your own level. Again, mostly just simple shapes, no textures I don't think, just colors. And you were a dude on a bike. Man, I don't remember anything about this game but those details, but it's driving me nuts. Spectre but on a bike Could ride off ramps and stuff, it had verticality in a way Spectre didn't Level customization Any ideas?

Private Speech posted:e4: It might also be Devil Whiskey from the same dev, he's been remaking the same game for a long time. Devil Whiskey! Haha I remember that game! That was one of the first games I bought with my own money once I had a real job and a credit card. I remember it being hard as balls.
