the fucking voice clips in this game kill me
Recently played this again.
Why are the super zombies so terrifying?
>>344923310
>>344923830
I honestly didn't expect anyone to know this game
Did you get it on that disc collection of games like I did? I remember getting it for Christmas. I think it had a Dig Dug clone on it with more bad voice clips.
>>344924890
I remember seeing screenshots of this in a magazine years ago. Never figured out what it was, but the characters look like Gremlins.
>>344925157
I can barely remember it myself. Just vague images and feelings.
>>344923237
The spread hammer was my favorite powerup. I forgot just how hideous this game was, though.

>>344925612
Dude, this game is the shit.
Its about raising these creatures called Norns from eggs and interacting with them to teach their AI how to do stuff. You can even make machines out of parts and teach hem how to operate them and become self sufficient.
Its like a 2D Chao garden. Comfy as fuck

>>344924380
Yeah I had that game collection as well. I used to play the game where you were on a beach and had to push items a lot and some game that had balloon popping.
Also, there was the ripoff Frogger and some incredibly Christian chicken ball game.
This fucking game.

It took me years to find a playable version of this game, surprisingly its compatible with a 360 controller
>>344924890
Holy fuck. Nostalgia: engaged.
I completely forgot this game existed until now. Thanks, asshole.
>>344928740
I've got that on disk kicking around somewhere
It wasn't very good
>>344923237
You just reminded me that I have Dr Lunatic Complete installed. I should finally beat it.
I used to have a disk with Mystic Towers, Hocus Pocus and Jazz Jackrabbit on it. Hocus Pocus was my favorite. I also found its now on steam.

hahaha, I remember that shit! I used to make custom ICO files to use for my character. I played the shit out of that back then, the first one was easy to get, but I had to suck up to some autist in my class to get the disk for the second one.
Played it recently, still good.

i remember this game taking up an insane amount of disk space, like 200 Megabytes
....that was a lot back then
>>344931796
Oh wait, it isn't?
Glad to know I guess, still feel like it was underrated.
>>344932015

>>344931974
Glad I could help.
the game brutalized me, but I still got all those little gems
>>344932613

>>344925476
What the fuck is this I remember it
there was this fucking hotwheels game I used to own where all you had to do was fucking crash the hotwheels cars into buildings and shit to earn points.
I distinctly remember one of the levels was a donut shop with a huge ass donut sign that you got bonus points for knocking over.
Anyone remember the name of it? I've been looking for it
>>344923237
I'm sadened by thr fact that no public trackers that I know of has a working torrent of Lunatic with Cheese
>>344932732
Yeah, I never played anything other than three. But this shit gets fucking complex. You can spawn in norns, the basic creatures, but as you play two other races spawn automatically, one of them is evil, the other not so much. You can instruct the creatures in specific ways to unlock new tools for interacting with them and upgrading the ship.
It also includes a pretty cool genetic splicing machine, and another machine that allows you to inject over 200 different kinds of chemicals (including cyanide and all sorts of sex hormones.)
Also is probably the best pirhanna breeding simulator I've played.

the Cave Story remake for the 3DS is an exception to your otherwise correct opinion
also, who could conceive a game where you can teach your daughter "cooking reputation"? where "cooking" and "cleaning" are important parameters of her personality? where you can see her measurements? where she can turn out to be the king's personal whore, to a sleazy club waitress, to a caring daughter, to even marrying her foster father? all of this while being mainstream.
times have changed so much. games are full of polygons but made for morons who don't know what challenge is. There is no variety because production is highly focused on taking a safe shot due to the crazy production costs.
And feminism. No more political incorrectness in games. No Honeybee Inn + Crossdressing + Being almost raped by Corneo.

Holy shit this game wasnt there like a paintball game or something
I was always trying to look for this game again to play it but i lost it.
I just released a demo day game that went pretty unappreciated, so i guess it'll be an obscure game only i will remember.
It even has mario maker style online level creation.
Somewhat obscure, remember it being fairly hard
Fuck any anons remember a game similar to myst but instead you are in like a mudhut tribe or some shit. Puzzles were fucking hard and when you get to the town or something some poor guy asks for a coin and it turns out he's the king or some shit.
I was too stupid to crack it for the full game when I was a kid.
>>344935074
What is that
The attitude era of wrestling with ecw and wcw is my favorite
new era wwe is pretty good but no boobs no alcohol and swears but it is like attitude era 0.5
Game was aids but played it a fuck ton
Anyone remember this RTS game? I remember buying it at a Big Lots. I used to fuck around in its map editor and just put in hundreds and hundreds of soldiers and made them fight. It was awesome.
>>344935352
Ewr, it's a wrestling management sim
WHERE MY GRUNTZ NIGGAS AT
Guys, i need help looking for a game.
It's a fantasy top-down RPG.
>Art style
You can only see the character's head and shoulder/hand. (since it's top-down view)
>release date
Played the game in the 90s
>game-related details
I remember there's elf, and you can choose jobs too, not too sure but i think there's thief, knight, etc.
It's grid based movement, you can move 1 square-tile at a time.
I think at some point in game, you can gamble and make money too.
>notable details
-It's not team based, you only play as ONE character.
-At the start of the game, you woke up form a blackout and you lost your memory or smth. You start in a castle with a fountain in the middle of the screen.
And if i'm not wrong, you can later get an item to walk in (on?) water and find an item inside the fountain.
I tried looking for years, and never found anything came close to the game.
So i suppose it's not one of those famous series like Ultima, or spider-web series.
>>344929036
Damn, right in the nostalgia. Wasted so much time with the editor.
Now these games were the shit
>>344935487
Yeah campaign was actually pretty fun if I remember correctly. Didn't own it but my buddy who did played it lots
>whyboner.jpg at elf butt
>>344927679
What's the gameplay like? What's the main objective? I'm just curious. I guess I could play for myself but old PC games are a fucking pain in the ass to setup and play in modern systems.
>>344935812
>THE HARDCORE SEQUEL
Young me probably ate that shit up.
>>344935812
indeed they were shit.
>>344935964
That was the main flaw with the game, there was no objective really, it's just a sandbox.
https://archive.org/details/msdos_SimEarth_-_The_Living_Planet_1990
You can play in your browser there, but a 25 year old user interface really is annoying today. Does not age well at all.
>>344935934
Did you know there's a movie of this? Don't watch it, not even ironically
>>344936084
>>344935964
I take that back, I guess a few of the pre-loaded planets have 'missions' for you. But it's very open ended.
any of you fucks even alive when this came out?
Loaded and reloaded were fun games at the time don't see your issue...that's like saying twisted metal was shit

Game of my childhood.
And I've never even played it, I just had this long unwinding fantasy about playing it once I read about it in various sites
LITERALLY

I was shocked when it was announced that this was getting rereleased.
Remember playing this and a snowball game where you beat the crap out of kids with the snowballs.

>>344939096
I'm gonna be real with you. I logged back on recently because I was surprised it was still up. I cried when I heard those old sound effects. My childhood was playing this game and exploring player worlds and being in clans and sneaking on the computer late at night to make my own sprites and shit. Remember the future gun themed one, and the sequel-ish thing with better graphics and RPG elements?

>>344927489
I remember a series of pics of someone playing that. Nuking israel, naturally.
Battlezone 1 and 2 and Tzar: burden of the crown for me
Battlezone was some trippy shit of a covert space war in the 70s and 80s between USA and USSR without the knowledge of the rest of humanity, using ancient alien technology that was bio-metal with some connections to Greek mythology.
Tzar had a european faction, an arab faction and a chinese/jap faction in some generic fantasy world
>>344939390
Didn't mean it in a bad way. I always loved going to Staples with my parents and looking at the games on their shelf. Age of Mythology was one.

Fuck yeah, 3D Dinosaur was scary as FUCK when I was 6. I got so scared one time that I remember running out of my mom and dad's computer room and sitting with them on the couch in cold sweats. That game really got to me for some reason. I think the music put it over the top.

The first 2 installs of this I had no idea what I was doing. Then I figured out how to keep them alive/kill those gremlin things.
Also probably the first game that I added mods to.
>>344924890
Man, I had the trilogy. I remember finding a cd a couple years ago containing a whole fuckton of mods for Creatures 2 and 3 that I burned as a kid. I'm not sure if the websites that had those mods even exist anymore.
my first RTS

I probably played this game for years as a kid, but never found everything it had.
So much fun to just explore and find the minigames you can get lost in.
>>344932112
You could've called this game "Bird Versus Camel" and no one would've argued with you.
>>344932793
Honest question, how did images like this get made? This was back before like paint and ps and shit were "good" programs. This shit looks like A+ sprite art.
And is there a guide on learning? I want to start and this shit looks fantastic.
does this count?
It was an old windows 2D platforming game. You played as a small n-shaped character with two eyes going through underground levels, and you could become a circle around blue pipes to move around quickly
I remember the demo had a boss that was pretty much an evil version of you that you had to jump on or something
Does /v/ know the game I'm talking about?
>>344952028
>battle hunter
so does he hunt battles
or is he merely a hunter who battles
most people probably dont even know that theres an FPS based on the Wheel of time books

Board Game Top Shop was without a doubt the best in this 'series.'
>>344949075
What did you post
This version I played as a kid was apparently a remake of an earlier Night Raid, but it was a fun kind of Missile Command type game.
>>344937882
Too bad the reboot got canceled.
I wish I could reproduce some floppy disk game that was attached to a fluffy in my arcade. It was fucking terrible.
The game froze constantly but what I see is that you had guys trying to make games that put them in the crane machine. Some weird shit there.
>>344935198
my niggah, still have the cd laying around somewhere.
>>344952880
oh my god i used to play this online all the fucking time. there were a ton of awesome custom maps people made. I remember on giant 4 way capture the flag/seal map with all four factions, it was fucking crazy when you had a full server
I miss this game so much.
Maybe somebody knows which game I'm thinking of based on these vague details:
> It's a side-scrolling shooter with pre-rendered 3d graphics
> Each level had a boss at the end
> One of the weapons you can get is a projectile that bounces off of surfaces
>Level 2 is an underwater level and level 4 is a city level iirc
>I think level 4's boss is a giant preying mantis or some shit but I'm not sure
>There's a bunch of text somewhere in the main menu (probably the credits) that tells you about a cheat wherein you type in something along the lines of "pleasehelpme" in the main menu and get like 30 extra lives
This is about it. I can't remember anything else for the life of me.
>>344953774
To be more specific, it's like a space shooter
How I forgot such an important detail is beyond me
>>344953517
To add- making that shit work was my into into computer programming.
It was this weird way of telling me how to fix the game. Make it work.
>>344923237
How the FUCK do you get enough coins to buy upgrades in this game? Every time I get close, I have to buy a new level.
>>344952880
I had no idea actually. What's it called
>tfw game is so obscure that there is literally NO information about it on the web
>>344923237
I used to spend hours and days playing these games. I never completed any of them, but I still enjoyed every minute.
>>344939025
Gubble was my shit, I recently bought the HD version and played through it
There was an old 2D (3d rendered) overhead space shooter, asteroids physics, where you had a ship and a base, and you could upgrade both with like laser turrets and shit.

Anyone? The mother base had four slots for turrets, and you could get another upgrade for it to move around independently so it didn't die, but you could also dock the ship, and I don't remember why you did that but I remember abusing that a lot somehow.

It's worth the shot anon?
>>344957290
It's not the best FPS ever but the atmosphere, gameplay, and level design are all pretty good.
>>344957243
Bullshit, everybody's played that. I remember liking it so much I drew my own dumb puzzle shit on graph paper
>>344957074
I have, it's fucking great. The box cover was ass though, wtf were they thinking?
>>344957925
here's japanese cover. this happened over and over and over during this era. they just inexplicably changed it.
You can see that the dungeon explorer cover was literally just done by someone at the american NEC office or one of their spouse/kids. It looks like a high schooler's drawing.
Most famous one of all time is megaman of course

My motherfucking nigga. Exile 3 was amazing. After 3 I backtracked to 2 but found 1 too esoteric to try. It's weird, for as much as I loved 3, I couldn't get into the Avernum series. Maybe it's time to dust off the keygen and try again.
>>344961906
I haven't tried out the new versions of Avernum 1 and 2 yet, but I did play a good chunk of Avadon. It might just be worth diving into the new versions of Avernum, man. They made the story more cohesive and the character progression system is that of Avadon, which is quite solid.
>>344961906
If you really like E3 (who didn't?), only the old A1-3 follow the same kind of formula. A4+ is like a weird shitty mix with geneforge
>>344961818

This fucking game was weird but fun.
PREPARE FOR NOSTALGIA
>>344962487
Force yourself man, I started A1 twice, only the third time stuck and I've finished all 6 in the last year, fuck A3 is so fucking big, personally it's 1>5>2>6=3>4. As much as everyone adores 3 I simply didn't like the huge somewhat bland overworld.

Can anyone help me find out the name of an old DOS game? I think it was on Windows 95 or 98.
It was set in Egypt and some asshole mad scientist guy hiding in a pyramid kidnaps your girlfriend or some shit.

Looking at these old games with just one simple mechanic being the whole thing makes me realize how the industry basically rebooted for Virtual Reality.
The first VR games we see are just that, one simple mechanic stretched to be an entire game.

Minecraft is NOT the simple one mechanic game I am talking about. Its much more complex - you have movement in a 3D world, multiple weapons that behave differently (explosives, bow, sword, etc), multiple enemies that behave differently, some sort of physics system, things like boats and cart rails, etc.
Look at >>344963079 for example of a simple game. This is where VR is at right now. Hopefully it survives long enough to move on.
what button to make it go fast like sanic /v/?
>>344963623

>>344963598
I am posting this one simply because I want more people to play this game, since they still have a website and are constantly still updating the game
>>344963567
minecraft isnt the simple one mechanic i was talking about either, bruh. i was talking about simply applying vr TO minecraft. literally. "take existing game. add singular gimmick"
Does anybody remember this janky ass stealth game? I remember how promoted this was, it even got its own prequel comic book. The most memorable thing about it for me was the main characters ass was really well modeled. It didn't have much else going for it.
>>344963790
But that sounds horrible. You should have games designed from the ground up for VR, rather than non-VR games with VR tacked on.

I remember but I never liked 2 and 3. The first game might be limited but I found the atmosphere to be comfier and the sprites of the creatures were my favourite. The way they smiled and looked made it, unfortunately, easy to hurt them for some reason.

No I wasn't. I don't even dream of doing this shit in real life, I just... I dunno. I found those fucking faces too cute to not abuse the shit out of them. I used to spank the newborns until they died of physical pain (that's a lot of fucking clicking) and I downloaded mods that add shit like diseases via injections (which I still have on this PC). I guess the whole fascination with "This game is a sandbox and you can essentially evolve their primitive AI and genetics in ways that the developers didn't think of" and I just sortof went crazy with trying to do experiments to see how far the game can go.

I really like this game. The theme is pretty unique. The only things that bug me sometimes is annoying level design and inconsistent hitboxes. The hitboxes for dogs seem to randomly blink in and out of existence.
Probably the worst of the Build Engine games, but still not horrible.

That game is a cult classic.
This right here was a magnificently funnyto like 12 - 13 year old meuniversity student project that L I T E R A L L Y N O O N E in all my years of posting it in these kinds of threads has EVER recognised. I think I may be the only motherfucker who ever played it. It was only ever downloadable from Fileplanet. Probably still is, really. I never actually finished it myself because the last boss fight is total "did you grind enough 2 hours ago when you last actually had the one character you go in there with who's not been in the game since then" bullshit, but everything else about it was just magnificentagain, disclaimer: I was young, it might actually suck, but I don't think so.

>>344948891
I know that game.I want to fuck the assistant girl.
Most obscure shit I can remember playing
>>344952028
First ever tactics-y game I played.
I remember two obscure games that I know I played but I cannot remember the name.
One was an amiga puzzle game. You were some weird geometrically shaped dude who threw coloured shapes and the goal of the game was to throw these shapes and match them.
The thrown shape could rebound of walls and I distinctly remember that if you lost your character would cry.
And if you cleared the stage some funky sound was played.
The other was a snes game I'm pretty sure.
It was the same kind of game like wc3 castle fight and sword and soldiers on steam.
Where you and the AI were positioned on opposite sides of a 2D plane and you built units that automatically walked to the other side.
There were dwarfs, wizard, elves, and the whole party.
Does this ring a bell for anyone?
GooGrid

I used to love the menu screen with the particle effects and all that when you clicked around but yeah making a self contained ecosystem only for it to be ravaged by dicks and and other old memery was irksome at times.

probably like 15 years ago i played a certain Hugo game for PC, it had 3d graphics. it had a certain grim vibe to it, the first level was taking place in some forest at night, Hugo could use some kind of whip as a weapon, if i remember correctly there were some insects as enemies. i think there was no music and the controls were kind of clunky. i can't find this game in any official sources, did any of you played it too? i'm genuinely interested, mainly because this game was kind of spooky if i think about it now.
