First Time Caller posted:And there was another 3.1 game I played. There were a bunch of robots that asked a bunch of questions and something happened if you answered it right. It had something to do with a tv station or a radio tower or something? Was it one of the Super Solvers series? I remember being pretty drat shocked when I found out about this game after wasting hours upon hours on it on my Tandy or whatever when I was like 6.

Krang posted:Looking for a recent PC game, probably released in the last few years or so. It's free or open source. The point of view is top-down, and you're a marble/ball outfitted with all kinds of guns. I think you get a automatic rifle to begin with and you can pick up things like miniguns with a barrel on either side of your marble, rocket launchers, a shotgun, etc. There's a minimap showing where everyone is, including the other team. I think the teams were red and blue and most of the maps I played were capture the flag, but there was a deathmatch mode. The balls gib when you kill them. I think you're looking for Babo Violent 2?

cornbeef posted:I have a game that I need, but I can't recall what it's name is. It's a tile based online paintball game. It was similar to counter-strike in that each match would give you money to buy stuff like paint grenades, smoke grenades, etc. There was a line of sight system in place and fog of war. There were several rounds being played at once so there was a lobby area where people sorta just waited. The graphics were pretty primitive and the game is ancient - it was one of my first online games ever, possibly back in 1995 or so. At the time it was free to play with only around 20-30 players ever on at a time. Thanks for the trip down memory lane, I used to play the poo poo out of this game when I was like 13. It's Paintball Net of course, and it's been offline for a long long time. When it went down, I believe some people got together and rehosted it or cloned it, and it became High Velocity Paintball. I haven't played HVPB but it looks like it's still active.

Emillio posted:This has been bugging me for ages. It's an old pc game where you can become a fish, shark, puffer fish, barracuda or other things in a reef. You had to swim around and find things to eat or else you'd die. You can also be eaten by sharks and other things. I can't remember too much about it. Though, on the left side on the screen, I believe there was a map divided into nine sections to guide you around the reef. Odell Down Under looks like it fits the bill. I almost missed the microscopic little map (with nine sections) at the bottom of the screenshots.

Pocket Billiards posted:I've got a vague one. I'm fairly certain it was on an Amstrad PC and had a single word title. You were a guy in space suit with a helmet that looked similar to the Marines in Warhammer 40k, and you explored what I think was a large abandoned space ship. Kind of like Metroid, but much slower paced and not really any shooting I could recall. After some digging on MobyGames, the closest thing I could find is Marsport.

northerain posted:I remember playing a game on the PC around 1998 or so(I think). It was a top down pseudo strategy game (kinda like Commandos) and it was about pulling off a sucessful Heist or something like that. Might be "The Clue!" aka "Der Clou!" which has a Win32 port here. DOS version at HOTU here.

nihilocrat posted:It's a freeware PC game that was introduced to me as "Nethack in Space", and it should only be a few years old. It's a 2d space fighting/trading/exploration game where there are three ships to choose from (maybe more by now) and the universe is randomly generated. One of the ships looked vaguely like Sputnik, I think. I think it has a name that is a common word that would be hard to search for on Google. Transcendence is what you're looking for.

I only played about 5 minutes of the demo, but it seemed like a decent cover and blindfire gimmick strapped on to a generic third person shooter. Go check out some reviews, I really don't know that much about it.

First one sounds like Out of this World (Another World outside the US). The second one is possibly Dare to Dream, by Epic. I never got far enough into it as a kid, but it does have a talking shark in it, and fits your description.

Alabaster White posted:The game I'm trying to remember had a thread here about a year ago, I think. It was some kinda freeware platformer that was all cutesy and you played as a flower or something, but to advance, you had to find special "warp" spots that took you to an incredibly creepy "dark world". Also, if you collected a bunch of gems or something you got a secret ending. I'm sure someone remembers this. Eversion.

Brady posted:I'm looking for an old RPG. The basic premise was to get powerful and gain allies to eventually fight a spider queen (I think). It has tiles and is viewed from above. It might have had randomly generated elements, but I cant remember. I do remember three distinctive things though- You always started in the same pre-generated town, some of the spells you could cast were AOE and it was represented with a bunch of green squares if you could cast or red if you couldn't, and last it had an expansion you could purchase that featured a frozen/wintery land. Realmz. Looks like they have released the base game for free if you check their site.

LastCaress posted:I am looking for a relatively old game (not that old I guess 97-2005?) where the player is in charge of running a videogame company. It's in windows and as far as I can remember all text, and the player can develop games (game engines and then games) and the hardware itself for the games. Kind of like Game Tycoon buy better, and with more text instead of graphics. It's done buy a small company/individual guy or something, probably only available to purchase on the internet. GameBiz or GameBiz 2.

Tagichatn posted:This game is probably over 10 years old now but it was a top down game on the PC where you controlled a single vehicle to take out the enemy base. You had a jeep, a tank, a helicopter and maybe one other I can't remember now. The only other thing I can remember was that it had 2 player splitscreen and played classical music when you selected a vehicle. Bumblebee for the jeep, Ride of the Valkyries for the helicopter and In the Hall of the Mountain King for the tank. Any ideas? Return Fire.

It isn't any of the Repton ones though, they seem to have a man rather than a character that looks like Kirby. As many games as are there, I don't actually see the one I'm thinking of on that list Take a look here. There are lists of freeware and commercial Boulder Dash clones for different platforms, maybe the one you're looking for is on there.

It was a rails shooter that went around hunting ghosts. I sort of remember one level where you were driving through a city fighting ghosts. Another was a graveyard with zombies that would pop up on the screen and there may have been a sewer level. I think it may have been by Sega? Laser Ghost maybe. More info from Wikipedia.

al-azad posted:PS1, 3rd person sci-fi adventure. The beginning has you as this bearded dude that steps out of a cryotube butt naked. You meet up with a robot (whose name I think was teepo or something weird like that) and walk around fiddling with keypads and poo poo. The two distinct things I remember from the game are A) the main characters nudity in the intro (first time I've ever seen a polygonal dick in a video game) and B) a scene where a door comes slamming down on the protagonist, nearly chopping him in half, and you have to play as the robot or something to find medical aid. OverBlood. Didn't see any nudity in the two youtube videos I glanced at though.

rvdleun posted:It looked like a fairly old 2D isometric game. You were stranded on an island and had to quickly find food and water, and build a shelter else you wouldn't survive for long. Over time, you could start building a garden to survive and such, while using rocks to build a S.O.S. signal. Each day, you had a certain percentage chance of being spotted by a passing airplane. The island you were stranded on was randomly generated, and I recall there being some extra subquests as well, like finding a buried treasure. Schiffbruch, maybe?
