Since this one seems to have replaced the other thread, I'll repost this here:quote:This is a SNES or Genesis ROM I played over a year ago. It was a bloody sidescroller that reminded me of Splatterhouse, though it was more dark fantasy than horror, or something. You start out as a guy that can run, jump and shoot, and the first level is in some sort of building that may have had an elevator section, but definitely had a big boss chasing you who reminded me of Crocomire from Super Metroid. After that, you turned into either a demon or a dragon-man who could double jump, and the second level was in some sort of evil garden or forest ruin. The bit I remember most clearly is that in this stage there were these fairy enemies who would fly out of tree stumps, and I think you could kill and eat them for health. Somewhere in here was a boss who bounced around/teleported, and may have gotten smaller as you hit it. It might have been a big eyeball or a wheel, though I might be confusing it with that fire wheel boss from Actraiser. Someone already said Demon's Crest, which wasn't right, but the game I'm thinking of looked really similar, if I'm remembering correctly. Similar colors, same sort of weird-looking enemies, and I think even a similar-looking player sprite. It may very well have been a ripoff of Demon's Crest.

Might have been an uncommon system like neogeo or 3DO. Shot in the dark — Keio Flying Squadron for Sega CD?

captain innocuous posted:This game was on sega CD around the early 1990s. I think it was an RTS type game. You were an army commander, and you led your units around a map kind of like Ogre Battle, but the units you commanded leveled up and had different upgrade progression paths. It may or may not have had anime-style influences. Haven't played it myself, but is this Dark Wizard?

chairface posted:The other I played in a mall arcade a few years later, like early 90s. Vastly improved graphics, like SNES/Genesis game levels. Uninspiring side-scrolling beat-em-up, pretty Final Fight like, but on this one I'm absolutely certain that you could get a gun off some enemies and subsequently just slaughter entire screens of guys by plugging away with this handgun. The enemies who had the handguns could similarly cheese the poo poo out of you, particularly once groups of them started spawning on both sides of the screen. I haven't played this myself, but it sounds like Vendetta.

uG posted:The game I forget was a robot fighting game, and I believe it was on the PSX. I don't think you had actual control of the robots, but before battles you would program them with tiles. For example, you could use tiles to say "if missile is within 10 yards: jump left" or something of that nature. Thats about all I remember, other than I liked it This is probably Carnage Heart.

Dr Cheesequake posted:Ok, this is going to be really vague, but here it is: this game involved you climbing up a circular stone tower. The protagonist was this goofy-looking head with legs and a large nose. While climbing the tower, you had to avoid some kind of spinning thingies and whatnot. I played this on a monochrome monitor, so I have no idea if there were more colors to it (besides orange), but the graphics were on par with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alley_Cat_(video_game) which I also enjoyed at the time. This is Nebulus, AKA Castelian, AKA Tower Toppler.

A 3rd person horror adventure game for the NEC PC98—the overall style of the game seemed to resemble the original Clock Tower. It was not a porno game, which given the system it's on, should narrow things down significantly. All I can recall is that it has some of the most gorgeous, most atmospheric sprite artwork I have ever seen. The backgrounds were highly detailed, with lots of green and brown, and the light and shadow were especially well-drawn, with the careful alternating of green, brown, and black pixels looking like pointillism. As for more specific details, the protagonist was female, and there may have been a grandfather clock in one of the screenshots I saw.

Here it is some 14 years since I last played it and I still remember "Aurora revolution! Aurora revolution!" and that shrieking, farting old man. I know it's usually considered the definitive bad 3D fighter series, but I do remember it did one thing right—you could map special moves to the shoulder buttons. So it ended up being more accessible to beginners than almost any fighter.

This is a really well-known classic arcade game, but I'm drawing a blank on both the title and developer. Spaceship game, vector graphics, you're trying to shoot this enemy core that is surrounded by sveral layers of rotating circular barriers that you must break through. On the actual arcade machine, the screen has overlays so that each barrier is a different color. Edit: Nevermind, it just came to me. Star Castle.

Bargain bin Laden posted:6) PlayStation game. I remember horribly long loading times, and fighting dogs. The game was absolutely terrible, and the controls were like Resident Evil gone bad. I know, very descriptive. It seemed like it was trying to be a beat-em-up game. I think there were only 4 levels, but I never managed to beat even one. This is almost certainly the same game I was trying to remember some time ago—Perfect Weapon. Bargain bin Laden posted:7) Another PlayStation game. It was like Dragon's Lair, in that it was cinematics where you'd press a button at the right time. I remember a rocket wheel chair in the hospital, three discs, and incredibly big save files even though there was a password system only three characters long. The only animated FMV game for PS1 I even know of is Brain Dead 13. From what little I've seen of the game, I think that may be it.

Bargain bin Laden posted:3) Genesis game. It was basically Diablo before Diablo, random dungeons, you'd go in and try to find your way up a tower, I think to fight a dragon. It'd be different every time you played, and there were colored potions and scrolls whose effects would also be randomized each playthrough. I think every five levels the palette changed and the enemies got significantly more difficult. I think I remember there being a food/hunger stat and if you got too full you'd slow down significantly, and if you starved you'd die. This is probably Fatal Labyrinth. That game's been rereleased recently, and I think is coming to PSN with trophies and stuff.

It's a terribly familiar puzzle, but in this game, when you go through the motions (put the newspaper under the door, poke the key out, pull the newspaper back), the keys fall off, or doesn't hit the newspaper, or something. Then the character says something to the effect of "Huh. Didn't know why I thought that would work..." The first Simon the Sorcerer has a puzzle like this.
