/vr/ - Retro Games

OK trying again 2 games here:

First is a spaceship shooter seen from the back of the ship, it was shareware and i think it was on a cd. The main thin is that the stage was a seemingly realistic video (3D render) with "hotspots" that you can shoot (dont know if enemies were par of the video or sprites, but the boses were part of the video). One boss spined vertically and you had to shot in the openings on some of its sides. You started with a simple orange ball shot and upgraded up to 3 straight shots.

Second is a text adventure i bought for 5 bucks at a computer store in mcallen or laredo, i dont remember well but i think it was called templo of doom or something like that. The main feature is that some rooms had an ascii diagram of the thing in them, the one i remember is one with a torch holder across the room represented with a "¥" wich you had to "lasso" with a rope to swing indiana jones style. Another puzzle was a room with a valuable object and a hole in the wall, if you took it poison gas came out of the hole. Solved by puttin wax on the hole. The name was somethign like "Temple of Doom" but dont reamember crearly.

Also Im an artist and will reward any of the 2 with a scketch of whatever you like. Pic is my work.

one internet for you sir

probably not but Midnight Resistance or Saboteur?

A PS1 game
Was in 3D and somewhat a sidescroller (most levels were pretty much going left to right)
You had a sword and it was somewhat an rpg but from my memory there didn't appear to be leveling

>>281815
The vaguest of descriptions

>>281872
its a vaguest of memories
I do remember you play many different characters throughout the game, If my memory was correct they were related to the ifrst character you play as

So like, I'm supposed to post if I identify a game, right?

Let's see who can help me out with this.

It was an old PS1 game. It was a racing game that looks like some stoner dumped the entire contents of his mind onto a disc to be sold to unsuspecting children. Everything was black and white with splotches of florescence, if I remember correctly.

The control scheme was total ass. The characters you could choose from looked like badly ripped off Disney characters.

>probably somewhere in between 95-99

>isometric view
You play as green orbs/spheres. The game consists of tile based levels, where you should either defeat spheres of other colors or ants(?)/some kind of insectoids. Your spheres can either:

-create another sphere near the previous one (1 tile in all directions, if possible)
-jump to 2/3(?) spheres across

If your colored sphere will come close enough (1 tile) across enemy ones, it will turn them to yours. Therefore, the one who owns most of the map and/or spheres in the end wins. In order to win you must either completely defeat and turn his units to your color, or just swarm the map with orbs, until no turns are possible.

>jump to 2/3(?) spheres across
Tiles, obviously

I played this in 1991 or 1992 on Atari or Amiga. The view is Isometric, you are some ball or a blob, you go around some labyrinths shooting at enemies, and entering sparkling teleports.

Background is always black, only the colour and textures of the tiles you move on change. From what I remember, these tiles are narrow, you don't have a lot of space to move around (something like Kula World, only isometric 2D).

The game is not Airball, and it is not Marble Madness.

And if it helps at all, the time frame for this game was probably 1998-2001ish

>>280979
Anyone?

>>281932
this is your common attax-style game. the most common pc version from that era was hexxagon (was isometric but was hex instead of square like attax).

Any help is welcome. Boorus only work as a coolaborative effort

I played a game in school in the late 90s on a Mac where you can play as a mouse or horse and probably a few other characters. I'm pretty sure it's just all mazes, and it had a Medieval theme, as I remember starting the game looking at the outside of a castle.

Well, I don't mind that but some of the pictures have the name of the game in them.

Dragon Valor?

PS1. Likely from the Army Men series on PS1, I'm uncertain of which.

All I remember is playing 2 player as green army men against my brother on a level that might have been called Toybox, or something. It was like a kid's room, and the map had toys, but you were an army man so it was to scale.

I'm 99% sure it was an early Army Men game, but I've been unable to determine which one.

it was an arcade game with a scroll ball in the middle. you were a soldier and hid behind sandbags with a machine gun. the bullets shoot straight forward and you moved side to side with the ball. if you rolled it really fast you somersaulted.

I can't comment for some reason, but this is Athena by SNK

An old game around 1994-1997, a sidescrolling shoot them up where you had all sorts of weapons- my personal favorite was the 'Jelly Gun' or something similar, where any of the badguys you shot would turn into orangish-pinkish jelly, and there were a type of enemy which was a mech. If you shot the mech's legs out from under it, the head would fall to the ground and it'd still be able to shoot in that direction.
I think it was called something like Eat This, but I'm not sure, and can't find anywhere to download it.

That's the point. A big database of games screencaps with tags about the game. So if you are looking for a futuristic snes beat'em up for two players you can just input the tags and see what games the booru find for you so you can see which one is the one you are looking for. So far there aren't many posts, maybe I will make a thread on /vg/ latter to see if they can help us

Got it. That's a pretty nice idea.
