/vr/ - Retro Games

Tired of all these stupid recommendation threads and stealth recommendation threads. Here's a thread for talking about retro games that aren't great, but still good or alright. Post the game, what it's about, what's good, and what's bad about it. I'll start.

Return Fire. A spiritual sequel of sorts of the earlier Fire Power for Amiga, by the same devs came this 3DO title that was quickly ported to PSX and Windows when they realized the 3DO was dead in the water. The game is simple, use the four different vehicles available(jeep, tank, rocket truck, helicopter), destroy your way into the enemy base, find the flag, and use the jeep to drive the flag home to your base. It's actually pretty fun at first, and flying around in the helicopter can be enjoyable.
The downside is how the game loop gets old. After the first couple of maps it devolves into running your tank/helicopter into the enemy base, blowing up tons of towers, then running back home for repairs so you don't lose a vehicle, until you finally punch through. The later levels starts throwing enemy helicopters at you non-stop, so you constantly have to defend from that and heal more often.
It's probably more fun in two-player mode, but I've never had the chance. Single player can be fun, but it gets less fun the deeper you get into the game thanks to the repetitive gameplay and never ending stream of helicopters.
