I saw Spielberg war of the worlds on 4th of July at a drive in movie theatre with fireworks going off all around me, it was a very immersive experience

just remembered i played a bunch of an old DOS game called Matter Blaster. the only videos i found on youtube are bad and boring. iirc there were a bunch of custom or maybe random maps not shown here. and more importantly you could customize the guns. you can have the particles they shoot have different properties, in terms of speed, movement, and digging through stuff vs exploding on impact. and you can have them explode into different particles, which you can also customize, and have them explode into other particles, etc. i mostly messed around making stupid guns that set off huge branching explosions, not really "playing" vs the computer.

Metal Marines for SNES owned, tactical grid-based real-time game where you launch missiles at and opposing island until their base is destroyed? Yeah there were some stupid fan-service mechs too I guess but building an economy, stockpiling fuel, launching missiles, and arranging your defenses was fun as hell. It was different from almost any other SNES game available for rent at the video store and obscure enough I almost never hear it come up when talking about the 16 bit era.

There used to be this pc demo I used to play called Dyson. You controlled these little bird/jet-looking spores and directed them to "planets". And then they'd burrow into the planet and start growing trees that produced more spores. You'd encounter hostile versions of the spores and they'd dogfight until one side won or lost, and then they'd infect the losing planet. Anyhow I guess it's called Eufloria now as of like ~2014. But I'm a huge dipshit and it probably wasn't obscure at all. I was just a shut-in goon that found it on SA in like 2007 or whenever

I have that game OP. I thought it looked cool when I, too, was a young dipshit goon and bought it with money from my first job and plaid it for 5 minutes, got bored and then never touched it again. I didn’t have mariguana back then though.

My first PC and online multiplayer game was Warzone 2100, an RTS game by Pumpkin Studios, which used to be part of Eidos. It also had a PSX release. It doesn't stand up to games like StarCraft or Red Alert, but it was a lot of fun for it was and I put a stupid number of hours into it in HS. One of the main tracks from it is burned into my brain: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lz6GuaoMCjQ Fans petitioned Eidos to have the game's code made open-source, and it was released sometime around 2008. It's available on Steam now for free and one day I'll play through it again whatis fucked around with this message at 02:20 on Dec 22, 2021 |

Not sure if it's obscure or not but Liero. Its a real time version of Worms made back in 98. It's basically a wholesale ripoff of Worms with some zany as gently caress weapons (even for Worms standards). This game was basically what we would play in high school computing when we were supposed to be learning Visual Basic. The whole thing died a death when the school upgraded the computers and put software on them that allowed the teacher to see what we were doing.

Bicyclops posted:for some reason i remembered tim robbins being in that War of the Worlds but not tom cruise, lol. i remember it being fine when it came out. tom cruise is a nutcase but he's not a terrible actor all the time. i think his performance in rain man is pretty good. Maybe you’re thinking of Top Gun where Robbins plays Tom’s RIO in the final dogfight because Goose died. Speaking of, this is a fantastic game.  It’s OK as a flight sim, there were like 6 different campaigns, plus a training campaign where you’re at Top Gun. But the coolest part was that it used a lot of FMV and was fully acted, and for the time that stuff wasn’t bad. And that carried over into the missions, not just as cutscenes. They also got James Tolkan to reprise his role as Hondo. Overall a pretty unique experience as far as flight sims go, as they usually have no story whatsoever, except for stuff like Ace Combat, but that’s also not a flight sim.

Not the most obscure game but I absolutely loved this as a kid Had an expansive mostly-open world, you gradually unlocked new playable characters with their own abilities (ie one of the guys could shrink down and access areas where he fought giant bugs etc), and you periodically piloted a giant robot and engaged in Gundam-style fights in first person Released more than a year before Ocarina of Time, and I've always felt like it was incredibly underrated/under-discussed given how many concepts it managed to successfully execute in the era of very early 3D gameplay

Larry Parrish posted:There's a cryengine fan remake which is absolutely badass, but last I saw it's not very popular on a weekend you could usually find one server that was full, but this was a few years ago. it’s a fantastic remake. The devs are making their own tiberian sun game in the same style. I had this ds game called glory days 2 which was basically a side scrolling shooter where you were either a fighter plane or helicopter in this tug of war between two sides. You tried to support your team across the map by destroying enemy units as yours moved along. If you were the helicopter you could also pick up civilians and rescue them for money, or drop your own troops where you chose. You would get money passively through capturing bunkers and you could use this to buy your own units. It’s a simple concept presented quite well with a good degree of customization. https://youtu.be/da05CGAJpkY

 Septerra Core is definitely one of my favorite games, some of my fondest childhood memories is playing this with my dad. It had some warts but otherwise the world-building and the fact that it was fully voice acted made it really cool for me at least. Felt like a Western take on JRPGs and I think it's still a worthwhile game today if you have the patience for fetch quests. Also the main menu theme still gives me goose bumps. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7KPG5PbdyU
