HAMMERRRRRRR UP
>>344923310
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.

>>344928740
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

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.
>>344934780
I was too stupid to crack it for the full game when I was a kid.

The attitude era of wrestling with ecw and wcw is my favorite

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.

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
>>344923237
>>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.

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
NO

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.

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

>>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.
>>344923237
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

The Wheel of Time (1999)
the multiplayer was the main selling point of the game & thats dead now, but it still has a pretty atmospheric and interesting campaign
