John Murdoch posted:Yeah I would immediately look through the American Laser Games catalog if it was entirely FMV-based. It was grittier and less tongue-in-cheek than any of the American Laser Games or Crime Patrol. Gameplay was not FMV, but the intro was filmed and the bad guy sprites (?) seemed photo-generated. I think you had an opportunity to pick up automatic weapons

Reached into the recesses of my memory for the title — it was something shocking like Bloodbath... Search turned up Bloodbath at Red Falls — definitely the game I remember https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qj99zWRtvyw With the intro cinematic here: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2ozxe1 Thanks for talking through it with me!

I was hospitalized as a kid around 2000 for something, and I remember my mom buying me a copy of PC Gamer to cheer me up — I think it came with a CD full of demos the family computer couldn't run. One of the games reviewed / advertised in the magazine was a sort of top-down, isometric gang simulator. It was not Gangsters: Organized Crime, but something set in the present day, with an "urban" setting, drugs with cR4Zy names you could take to boost your stats, and an overall aesthetic that would probably be considered slightly offensive today. I think there were prostitutes? Maybe it was a poor man's GTA for the time, more focused on turf management. Thanks to anyone who can remember.

MonkeyforaHead posted:Nah, the crazy visuals are apparently a major forefront of the game in a "you'll know it when you see it" kind of way. Something vaguely like this. jfc

I am trying to remember the name of a 2D free game where you controlled a starship that floated from planet to planet picking up and dropping off colonists while battling over territory in space I remember the game seemed to have pretty detailed readouts of the population and resources on each planet — the trick was to keep your civilization booming while keeping your rivals down. you could use heavy nukes to wipe out your enemies' colonies or slowly infect them to death with bio weapons, keeping the planet's resources intact. you could also infect your enemy's ships, and they would spread contagion at every planet they visited, along with their colonists. you controlled only one ship and it was a little bit of a challenge not to let your rivals sneak into your territory behind your back while you were busy elsewhere the tone of the game was irreverent — I want to say the graphics were on the cartoony side. but fairly polished, windowed play for 2002/2003 I was a big GameHippo hound in high school in the aughties — it might have been available on the site or not thanks for any help — I love this thread edit: nailed it, thanks!! vvv DasNeonLicht fucked around with this message at 19:00 on Mar 27, 2024 |
