SNES game, top down perspective. All I remember is that the first area is a forest with a cave and you have to inflate yourself somehow to bypass a broken ladder in the cave. The first boss is a guy with a crook and the next level is a top-down shooter.
Was it one of the Tribes games?
That was it. Thank you.
I've been trying to find for the longest time a vertical shoot em' up game I played on the PC. You played as a fighter jet (forgot if it was sci-fi or modern-ish). Not sure if it was on an emulator or it had a native PC release but one thing that always stuck in my mind was the game over screen, which was kind of disturbing since it had foreboding music, and it shows various shots of your crashed ship and your pilot character dead. It had a 2D arcade aesthetic to it, similar to other vertical shooters like Raiden. I also distinctly remember it had power-ups and pickups with huge letters to signify what kind of power up they were ala Contra/Metal Slug. I think they were boxed shaped as well, but not super sure but I definitely remember they had a huge letter to signify each pick-up. Another thing to narrow it down if anyone remembers is I played it when I was around 6 years old or so, so it couldn't be anything later than 2001 or 2002, and most likely might be around the range of 1990-1999. I definitely remember playing it on PC, but not sure if there were reliable arcade emulators during that time.
I'm looking for a game that has a lot of references to valve, it was in beta recently around summer, it had a discord server but, the way i found it (but recently forgot it) was with a certain YouTube video, but, I forgot who made the video (i think it was some tf2 YouTuber) so, I was thinking of going to an old forum post, asking for some help and, eventually, I would get it. So, could ya help me?
This is probably a different game, but the concept is pretty much the same https://youtu.be/s_6joc2WEbU
Wow yeah, it's different but that does look like the exact same concept. Thanks. The one I'm thinking of had more 'realistic' graphics, with the player actually being a metallic thing.
Anyone remembers an arcade game (played on M.A.M.E years ago) in which you control a knight and you fight against creatures of fantasy? The game camera was in third person, and the knight was made entirely of transparent textures and with well-defined lines. I remember you could beat a Scarecrow and turn enemies into scarecrows, too.
You can even download all the old tribes games for free now: Tribes Universe Don't know if there's still any people playing though. Even Tribes: Ascend pretty much died a while ago.
I've been trying to remember the name of this game for years but it was an fps on ps1 and it was like X-Files, except all cryptids like werewolves and Ghosts and vampires are aliens and you play as Men in Black that fight them. I borrowed it from the library as a kid and I've never heard anyone else ever talk about it
There's an FPS based on the Men in Black animated series called Men in Black Crashdown https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CAUQl6UNh9Q Not sure if it's that, but another alien-centric FPS I remember on PS1 was Armorines Project S.W.A.R.M. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q0DPpj04Q7s Do you remember if it had full 3D visuals or used sprites for first person models ala Doom?
Did it have party management, and did you have the option of making your own character? Based on a random screenshot I found, it could be Baldur's Gate.
Crossed Swords? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADyUGE0Uxek https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H485or8VOC8 There's a sequel too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qCh5dp-patw
Don't believe so. The action bar was different. Char menu was - main guy to the left and items to the right. And when you started you had like a cyan coloured dress and blond hair ( I think )
I don't remember specifics as far as graphics, but I remember the first level taking place in a city and fighting on rooftops and fire escapes, and then in either the second or third level you were in a helicopter following a train
Thank you so much. This game was so much fun back in the day
2.5D Platformer with 3D Graphics, probably PS1. It had a somewhat lighthearted medieval atmosphere, and I think the main character may have been a jester (or somebody in bright clothes, at least). Maybe there is actually to characters you can choose from at the start of the game, but I'm not sure. First level is a town level which is mostly downhill. You pick up coins. Second level is a frost level and I know nothing after that because I never got beyond it. There probably was some kind of puzzle with ice blocks or something along those lines.
That sounds like Pandemonium 2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gyh__96_DxU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMcJ29A5dTc
Yup, that's it. Thanks!
Has anyone been able to figure out mine? I'll repeat what I remember: PC game from the 1990s, top down maze like game with breakable blocks and spreading lava.
This is a bit of a stab in the dark, but maybe one Dyna blaster (Bomberman)? Technically it doesn't have spreading lava but you "spread fire" to break blocks and kill enemies.
No, this was not a bomberman game, it was more like a maze. It had a very brown/industrial look to it.
The game I'm trying to recall and search for, looks like this: https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/262189/b9c181b5-b50f-4cb7-b131-330be3d0d5c6/image of a game.png I don't remember the protagonist's color, how the enemies looked like, and many other details, but I remember the goal of the game(maybe partially). Simply put, there are enemies in the room, and you need to smash 'em. You do that by walking into a block, and blowing your breath onto it. The blocks are made of ice, and therefore will slide. If they slide into an enemy, that enemy is done for. If you can't blow onto a block to make it move, you will instead destroy it. Granted, there are plenty of blocks to smash your enemies with. The blocks are also multi-colored. It is important, because if one block slides next to another one of the same color, both get turned into a coins. Blocks of the same color adjacent to those two also get turned into coins. You can score points by turning blocks into coins, but the main goal in each level is smash all enemies. Coins can't be moved, they can only be destroyed, and even that takes a while. It's unlikely you'll run out of blocks to smash your enemies with, but even in the unlikely event you do, a few more will be spawned into the level. At the cost of your life, however. As for aesthetics... The graphic part of levels look like some kind of refrigerator, and the music is something Siberian. That's all I know.
It was this fighting game where instead of characters it was real people filmed and greenscreened into the game. I think it was one of the first games on steam too.
flash game where you had to pick a faction then build buildings that make troops to destroy the enemy base
Was it Klonoa? There's a villian who looks like a jester. Could also be Pandemonium
Hi this is a long shot. I played this game when I was like 9. I think it was a gamecube game, but could have been a ps title as well. It was some sort of vehicular action game, featuring levels on both some sort of desertified area and also in space? Mission-based, on the ground I completely forget what kind of gameplay it was beyond like, probably controlling some sort of third person tank or aircraft or something. In space I distinctly remember shitloads of missiles flying everywhere? I think it also had some really bad, melodramatic anime-like voice acting. For all I know I could be conflating two completely different games here.
I had this game on pc I played around 12-15 years ago on pc. Not sure what the goal of the game was, I think it was a puzzle game, it was 2d sprite art. the gameplay had a bunch of marbles and a sanbox screenspace that you could fill with pipes and tubes and watch the marbles go through them. It was more industrail/scifi looking and the background was dark blue/purple and the ui elements were brown/metallic colors
I imagine it's either Obscure 1 or Obscure 2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7nOWMeWz6EI&list=PLo4M1tlpv9ruaZTwKum8AJ_UbRHjBxHnD
Sounds like one of the "The Incredible Machine" games.
