/vr/ - Retro Games

ok so it was a pc rts game from the mid 90s. you played as ether humans or greys type aliens. there was an opining cut seen of a human shooting an alien in the head and it popped like a watermelon. i only had a demo but i kinda want to see that cut seen again

Here's one I haven't gotten an answer for in the multitude of threads I've asked in.

The game was on either the Genesis or SNES. It was a 2D platformer, really colorful. There were a lot of different characters and you automatically switched between them at various stages of the level. The characters all had a circus theme. There was a seal that bounced a ball on his nose, and you had to keep it from touching the ground. There was also a character on a unicycle, as well as a starfish that held a bucket full of fish food. This starfish character was in one of the included minigames where she fed fish that would get scooped away on hooks if you weren't fast enough.

This is all I remember. There are a few other details I have faint memories of but I'm only outlining things I'm sure of so nobody gets confused. I rented this game a decade ago and I really want to play it again. I need a hero.

Sounds like Super Aquatic Games.

>>478815

Holy shit, that's the one. Thank you so much. You've done what countless others couldn't do.

I liked the first James Pond but I nope'ed hard with the Aquatic Games and James Pond Robocod.

>>478871
thats it. thanks dood!
no i am going to dredge the internet to find a copy before i am forced to pirate

Gonna give this a shot:

Basically it was an educational game where you where inside a submarine and you would learn underwater stuff.

I know it sounds like shit but I want to try it for nostalgia.

>>478893
Operation Starfi5h ruled.

Nobody has been able to get this the last couple times I posted it here, but here I go!

It's a game. Maybe DOS, maybe Apple II, definitely an older computer game. An adventure game. All text parser, but with minimal graphics. Might have even been a learning game. You're in a house. You have to find all the pets in the house. You know stuff like "Move Couch" to find a dog hidden behind it or "Open closet" to find a cat. Except there's this dragon. I can't remember if there was a warning for the dragon or if he appeared in hiding places at random. If you found him, though, I believe it was game over. I played this in 98 or so when I was in the second grade, but the game is much older than that. Resembles Demon's Forge for the Apple II in appearance and execution for reference.

I've been wanting to find this game for years now. I've googled everywhere, looked through tons of games, but have yet to find it.

Please, help me.

I don't think it was that, it was around Windows 95/98 when it came out and it had FMVs

>>479001
>FMV
damn, i was gonna say the magic school bus explores the ocean

>>478650

There was an arcade game that was two players, one person drove and the other person had a lightgun SMG

>>479018
lucky and wild?

OK so there was this point and click adventure game, you were this lady in a desert and you were looking for your daughter or something? You could combine things in your inventory, and there was this cave with a giant scorpion which you had to distract with a rag on a stick while you solved some light-refracting puzzle with gems. It was on PC.

>>479075
King's Quest 7.
It's pretty bad, bro, but that's the game you're thinking of.

>>479098
Yeah, that was it. Thanks.

>>479117
No problem. I feel it's the weakest in the series, personally, but I hope you sincerely have fun with it.

Just because I don't like it doesn't mean you shouldn't.

>>478650
I know the ad you're describing. If the internet is of no help, I'll resort to looking through my old GamePro issues.

I rented this ps1 game probably around 97-99, had bubsy-esque graphics but it wasn't completely psychotic and seemed fine for the time it came out. If I remember you constructed your character? and jumped up really high on these platforms in this sky city. Sorry if I'm too vague but that's all I remember, it was pretty colorful too if that helps.

>>479098
>King's Quest 7.
>It's pretty bad, bro

>>479221
Jumping Flash?

>>479221
I want to say Jumping Flash, but a lot of your description doesn't match either.

>>479267
>>479268

Yes, thank you that is it. I guess I was confusing it with another game as well.

My cousin and I used to play this Japanese Mecha PS1 game back in '98 or '99. I don't think it was ever translated. Anyway, the graphics kinda looked cartoon-ish and the gameplay was a sidescroller beat em up and the bosses are like these animal robots that when you defeat them, you get their power. I know it kinda sounds like Mega Man X4, but it's not.

im looking for a windows PC game where you were a white explorer back during the days of the african carve up, the cover was said white guy cutting through a african jungle with a group of africans behind him (Arms guards, carriers, guides etc). i remember the first mission was about finding the entrance to a tomb outside a town but thats as much as i remember, any help?

Isometric game for the NES
I remember it didnt use a lot of color, but i think the color switched from room to room
It was NOT Solstice, but I feel it was similar to it. Its been almost 20 years since ive seen it so i dont remember much. There mightve been a mountain climbing segment but that might be another game im combining it with

yeah i have one. well um let's see the main character was something along the lines of a demon-pig. the reason i say "demon" is because it had fur all over it and one huge eye with two pupils (otherwise it looked like a pig). the color was...i want to say purple?..i can't remember. you would roam around a sort of hilly area jumping over rocks and stomping on bugs and sometimes you would be able to crouch into a ball and basically do a really long somersault. please tell me someone remembers what im talking about!!

>>478650
this?

>>479679
Happen to have any other details on it?

While not NES titles, the others that immediately come to mind are Equinox and Landstalker.

>>479745
Sorry it was so long ago, my fathers godson had the game, i def remember him playing it on the NES. Unfortunately he had gotten rid of all his game stuff ages ago and doesnt remember anything about it.
I remember the colors being more simplistic like pic related

>>479679
Maybe The Immortal or Knight Lore?

Hey guys I don't know the name of this game. It's a strategy game for windows pc. I had it back in 2008. So it probably was released earlier. It's a game where oi have a civilization and you have a king as a powerful unit. Your enemies also have kings. The game allows your king to level up through combat. But only the king may level. No other unit can. The game has a couple of races. One is Orc and a couple more. Anybody knows ?

>>479801
Sounds vaguely like Heroes of Might and Magic IV.

'course, several other strategy/rpg titles no doubt use that same approach.

I remember a 2d platformer sort of game.
You played as some skinny guy in overalls I think. I think the first level was some kind of sewer. Chewing gum played some kind of role. Maybe as an attack... or there was a character made of gum. Not sure.

That's all I can remember. Maybe Sega Genesis.

>Bubba N Stix
Shit, ya got it Thanks.

>>479798
i think it mightve been Knight Lore, i do remember the colors being different though. Thanks

>>479772

Solstice, maybe?

>>480086
i said it was NOT solstice

>>480094

Didn't read the whole thread before posting; my bad.

Game #1 (Genesis)

-You played as a magician-like guy with long black hair. He could shoot blue or white magic from his hands
-ravens
-a mansion
-pretty creepy music

Game #2 (I played it years ago on MAME)

-You play as detectives/cops
-gameplay was nothing big, you'd drive behind cars of gangsters and shoot them from 1st person view

>>479286

Gear Senshi Dendoh?

>>480192

Genesis game is Warlock.

The other... fuck me, I know that game. Gimme a sec here.

>Genesis game is Warlock.

Thanks, that's it.

>>480310

Fucking great Anon, That was it.

>>479728
i still have my copy. that game is awesome

>>478650
help a brother here fellow /vr/, i am very curious about this, already search it through web but no pleased answer
>NES game
>flying airplane game, typical like 1942
> the stage usually have blue-black environment, and some tiles environment too
>the start screen was blue, fuck i really forget the title name
>have A VERY CATCHY JINGLE on the title screen, a very happy jingle

does anyone knows? please, it has been made me curious for year

There was some TV commercial that I vaguely remember, I've been trying to figure out what it was for. I saw it on Youtube last year, I'm not sure if it was ever on TV because I think it was banned. It began with this couple having sex in the cowgirl position, and both of the people looked really bored, and the guy was sort of staring off into space. I think it was for the PS1 but I'm not sure. It looked similar to the famous "Double Life" PS1 commercial, but it was something else.

Ok, this is an SNES game my brother rented when we were kids. I was really young at the time, so I don't remember the name.

Anyways, I'm pretty sure this game was in 3d, and might have been in first-person. I know there was a mode for two players where the screen was divided horizontally (meaning 1 guy on the top half, other on the bottom). I think you controlled some sort of polygon-looking thing.

I'm sorry if the description's shit, it's the best I can do.

>>481082
starfox?

There was this game I played on PC as a kid. The game was a pretty average mech combat game. The storyline was what I remember the most.

Humanity discovers a warphole in space, and uses it to explore far off areas of space. One is discovered to be habitable. Over time, life on the colony is vastly different from life on Earth.

One guy creates a religon around the warphole, and it gets pretty big. People worship the wormhole and follow the word of this one psycho as word of god. The head of the religion starts claiming the wormhole is going to close, and tells his people to start hoarding. Lo and behold, the wormhole closes, war breaks out on the colony, start game.

>>479721

>>481094
was the original star fox 2 players?

>>481094
Fuck no, that was not Star Fox. Star Fox was 1 player, and I actually owned that.

so this was a really old pc game. i think it was turn biased and you played as a criminal. you could rob places and run from the cops. i think it was called crime or something like that.

>>481026
Tiger-Heli ?

>>481082

Sounds like Vortex. Were you able to change forms and shit? Because it sounds like Vortex.

>>481026
>>481139
thank you for replying, but unfortunately it is not what i am searching from.. i will give additional info from what i remember
>gameplay consists of typical plane shooting
> you can eat some bonuses that can made various range of different shootings
> THE JINGLE, it has one typical jingle, in the start game the happy one, but when we are in the middle of the game, the jingle became weird/sad one

>>481208
> i am fucking sure it is pre 1990 NES game

>>481208
Look through this list of NES shmup games. See if any of the titles sound familiar. There aren't too many.

heist?

I'm looking for a Genesis motorcycle racing game I remember that when you crashed an ambulance would come and pick up your motorcycle.

>>481318
thats road rash fool

>>481132
heist

>>481346
no, thats not it. it had an isometric view and you could play with other people, almost like a board game. but when you got in a fight or did a robbery or what ever, you would do an isometric real time action shoot out.

>>481026
>>481208
>>481262
shit anon, tears burst in my eyes when i finally found that, it B wings, yes i'm fucking sure it is,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_Wings

i am almost guess it is Star Force, because it looks like the same, and i remember some bosses name lika Alpha, Beta, etc, but it is not having THE JINGLE, so i kinda doubt it

thank you internet, brb nostalgia

help me here, NES, some kind of typical 100 in 1 game, but it had some weird Spartan X, the heroine is lion I remember... want to play it again from emulation, I have it on my basement though, too lazy too search for it

>>479031

Yes! That was it, thank you.

Okay /vr/ i'm pretty sure you are the only ones who can help.

In my jr.high (grade 7-9) science class my teacher had a bunch of old ass macs. On a few of them was this game where you played as a leprechaun. You can push golden pots? or maybe you had to get the pot of gold? i'm not too sure, I was 13 when I played it last so details are shoddy at best. But it's a puzzle game where you could push thiiiiiings?. Now that i'm an adult, i'd like to find it and finish it.

>>481675
oh snap. i know what you are talking about. it was also an arcade game in the late 80s/early 90s
what the fuck was it called?

>>481675
>>481753
you know, i may have been thinking of something else.
this was a game just called leprechaun and it was in that short ass cab for kids

>>481797
That's uh, not it. Thanks though.

No it was on a white background, and when you pushed something off an edge, it fell, resulting in really dickish ways for you to get stuck and try again.

Okay, two games.

PC real time strategy on other planet with aliens, something like Starcraft, only no humans (I think). There were 4-5 alien races to control, each had own game over movie.
>Sentient trees, I think they were good guys
>Some purple faggots, their game over had some mountain being blown up. I think they were evil because intro also had this mountain and it was bad thing or something.
>Pigs on motorcycles.
>I don't remember, brown dudes making stone things?
You were choosing your race from a stone with symbols of all races.


Other was older early 3D game, also on PC. When I played it I didn't know english, so I didn't know what I was supposed to do.
You were commanding orange (I think) battleship, and you could deploy planes and boats to control them directly or leave them alone to fly/swim around. You could also move battleship and fire from its main cannon.
You started in front of some island where there were already computer's planes flying around. I don't remember them being hostile at all, though I always tried to take them down.

>>479728
That's the one, thanks bro.

DOS sci-fi game from the mid 90s that let you fly a ship around in space, but also let you explore the ship in first person Doom styled visuals. I remember a lot of green and purple in the color scheme but it wasn't CGA graphics.

Alright dont judge me, because it's probably a common game. Last time I played it, I was like 5

It was for the NES. You played a scientist of some sort... He was in a white coat, and had a beard i think. Anyway, you walk around with weird 2-D non-linear maze... You collect dynamite and... Carrots, I think. When you pressed a button on one of the controllers the screen turns blue i think. I was so young, the mechanics of the game are confusing, but I want some nostalgia.

>>481082
Spectre?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ter9gjogvBo

>>487204
Gyromite?

>>487430
HAH YES THAT'S IT holy shit thanks anon. Time to fire up the emulator

Gonna try this out. It was a 'Breakout' type game for the NES. I think it had a ancient greek/roman theme, and every few levels you would fight a different Olympian god as a boss. I might be mixing two different games together though.

>>479001
that sounds familiar. did it come on a disc with multiple other educational "games" about dinosaurs and the human body?

A 2D game for PC or Mac from the mid-nineties.
The game world consisted of tiles (mostly brownish ones that were supposed to be sand) and you could move udlr.
You had no weapons as far as I remember, but you could plant TNT (?)
If you went over a tile containing sand, it turned (and stayed) black. You had to get from point A to point B while zombies (which I think could only walk on black tiles) chased you.
And there was this green mossy stuff that would spread to adjacent empty tiles and kill you if you touched it. It might have been combustible.
The game also had a level editor.

>>491587
It highly likely that this is an Boulder Dash freeware clone. Google it and you will find hundreds of Freeware Boulder Dash like games extremely similar to your explanation.

More information about this game: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boulder_Dash

I remember leafing through an old EGM during the early 90s and seeing a fantasy RPG for what I believe was the Turbografx.

All I remember now was that there was a green haired sorceress-type called Seer Sonja.

>>491689
Close, but from what I remember there were no boulders involved.
I did a google images search and can't find it.

>>482904

Was it WarBreeds?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMTSRyA3nDA

>>491761
Hmm, hard to tell from that video (I don't remember that much), but thanks I will check it out.

Anyway, when I was looking for that game I found second one, if anybody is interested it was Carrier Commander
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMTSRyA3nDA

One game that eludes me to this is day.
>For PC
>Was on one of those discs with many games on them. We're talking windows 98 here. You'd have seen it at like walmart or something
>Game plays in top down zelda fashion
>Prerendered graphics
>player is bald
>I think the characters name was generic like "bob"
Any ideas? would be eternally grateful

>>491761
No but I can give conclusion.

>>482904
The first game is War Wind 1, made in 1996.

The other "older" 3D game is Hostile Waters - made in 2001 (I guess)

>>491784
>War Wind 1
Yes, that was this game! Thank you.

>Hostile Waters
No, it was Carrier Commander.
When I say older 3D I know what I am saying.

>>491775
Wrong link.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=etiMz9xUSy0

>>491783
Project Paradise?

Not exactly Zeldaish but anyway, the only top down game with dominant prerendered graphics and Typical Top-down perspective.

Please confirm, I need to take other considerations if this isn't it.

It's a Saturn or PS1 game that i suppose it's kind of a mixed genre since it was RPGish but with platform elements and the battles were like a normal 2D fighter. The story was about going to a prison island and the villain was a green slimey thing. There was also a blue bird following you and depending on how long it took you to leave the ship at the start of the game the plot would be completly different.

>>491820
>Project Paradise
No, not it.
The camera angle is fixed. I guess zelda is a bad way to describe it, but you essentially free roam through a castle and there was some zelda like combat mechanics iirc.
Again, bald player character.
I should mention that the game's graphics are very shitty and the gameplay might have been shitty too

>>491837
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guardian_Heroes

>>491858
It's not it i know of guardian heroes but thanks anyway.

The game im talking about has an isometric view. Also the main character is blond, has a sword and green armor. There's also a ninja chick involved and a blue crocodile guy. And the prison warden has giant metalic arm.

>>491856
>>491872
bump for help

Is a PC game, between 1998-2004, a 2-D real time strategy role playing game.

I remember it was somewhat a dark game, with a diagonal perspective (very similar to Diablo 2 with Direct3d) the main character was a bald mage but there are other characters to play too. I don't remember the gameplay, but you controlled that character in a open area, and the objective of the game was to defeat another 6 or 8 players, finding potions and weapons. Every game was random, and in the end of every game you get points to bost your character.

>>492506
Magic & Mayhem?

>>483724
Alpha Storm?
http://www.mobygames.com/game/alpha-storm
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7fXah-vTKd8

So I played this game around 2003 but it was old by then. It was a Diablo like game set in a sci-fi world. You were sent on a series of missions and between them you would buy equipment or update your body (more hp, faster running etc).
I think you mainly used guns to fight..
I know it was ismoetric 2D. Can't remember anything else really..

It was a game I think on sega CD. It was like the whole game was just all QTEs. And it was all anime, like this anime girl was the main character. and I think there was a dinosaur.

>>491872
Dark Savior for the Saturn

>>492989
Time Gal

>>493009
The Screenshots don't ring a bell.. might have to play it to confirm that its not it. I remember the environment to be more like a factory, lot of inside levels..

Some PC or Mac game with a giant 3D spider that was sorta like Tempest.

>>493063
Probably Restricted Area.

>>493103
Yea sorry, I should have said. I know that one.. and thats not it.
I just found Crusader: No Regret / Crusader: No Remorse. That might be it .. I'll see when I play it :)

>>493063
There are many enviroments, it has factory levels too, tougher to dodge in those :)
Some levels are outside (desert, forest), some are inside (factory, cave). This I remember.

>>493103
That looks awesome, I'm going to have to research it.

NES sidescroller, you're a caveman that's on a skateboard(a piece of wood on a rock) you attack with a club that shoots out a rock. You can get an upgrade that lets you shoot a three rock spread.

Hey anons, when I was a kid, I used to play this game with my cousins that scared the shit out of me. I think it is for SNES. It's about a boy that, iirc, go into a distant planet to fight gooey-like aliens (kinda like a skinny venom, from spiderman) so he can rescue his dog. It is a little mature, no blood (I think) but the kid usually dies in disturbing ways, like being pulled into a dark alley and eaten. I think the kid wears jeans, white shirt and a baseball hat. I also think he had some kind of zap gun.

>>493194
Caveman/Skateboard makes me think Adventure Island (one of many ports of Wonder Boy).

>>493194
Big Nose The Caveman

>>493007
i love you. where you at i want to suck your dick

>>492940
That was it. You're a champ.

Breakout-style DOS game.
It was rather colourful and had lots of powerups, e.g. beer that made it harder to control or green slime that would stick to the paddle. It also had a boss battle every 10 levels where you would fight some green dragon (if I remember correctly) in a shoot 'em up style space level. The whole battle took place in one screen and you could fire missiles from what I remember.

>>478650

Been through this road like 2/3 times, gonna start keeping a list of what this isn't but if anyone knows it would be lovely.

>PC anywhere from like 98-05/06
>Diablo-esque game
>only control 1 character
>live in an abbot/castle and are a knight i think

>>493217

that sounds like heart of darkness

>>493285
That's it! Thank you anon

I'm looking for an old arcade racer with a similar driving style to outrun.
The one thing I remember the most about it is that you could make your car jump up in the air, spin sideways, then land on other cars destroying them.

>>493313
Looked through all of it, didn't find anything. I'm not 100% if it was DOS or maybe already early Windows but it's definitely pre-2000. It actually had pretty good grahpics for its time from what I remember.
It was a more elaborate game than the usual Breakout-clone.

this old computer game my friend had involving all these weird colored mice (red, blue, green) and you have to get them safety i can't remember much else about it...

>>493401
Mice Maze?

>>493424
potentially the game was "newer" though the mice had full bodies not just heads...

>>493278
I'm pretty sure that's Krypton Egg, and IIRC it was recently remade for mobile phones or something.

>>493272

>PC anywhere from like 98-05/06
>only control 1 character
>live in an abbot
>mission where you kill rats in cellars
>changing clothes/armor changes in game model

Weird, it sounds like Baldur's Gate prologue

>>493385
sounds sort of similar to Speed Racer

>>493504

It reminds me of Baldur's Gate so much when i look at BG, but the character models were much bigger.

>>493501
Yes, thank you. Finally after all this time.

Umpteenth time I've posted this. My hopes remain undaunted.

It was an adventure game for PC that played sort of like Eye of the Beholder. As in, first-person, static perspective, some grid-based movement, puzzle solving and distributing inventory between party members that all behaved as one group. Turn-based combat was featured, though was not the primary mechanic.

The story opened on board a space station, where some computer got all SHODANy, named itself "the Overlord", and decided to destroy humanity by sending down genetically engineered aliens. The hallways you started in were very, very green. I think "Shadow" or "Force" might have been in the title, though I'm not sure.

Pic related, a very rough reconstruction of the first screen as I remember it.

>>493507
Nope, it wasn't Speed Racer.
It's fairly old, or at least the graphics were worse than Speed Racer, and had sort of a post-apocalyptic feel to it.

This was a DOS game with ANSI-like graphics, similar to ZZT. But it could be played split-screen coop with a second player.
Also I think it was easy to modify the levels, but I'm not sure about that part.

>>493517
¡Yeah I remember that one! Let me check..

I have one. It's not too spectacular, but not knowing the title bothers me.

>Edutainment.
>2 players.
>You play as robots and you can pick what robot you want to be.

Played it in fourth grade with Oregon Trail, Number Munchers, and Lake Odell. Yes, I old fag.

>>493543

Holy shit I hope you aren't kidding. I've been looking for this one for like three years. Please don't let me down, Upside-down Exclamation Point Anon.

>>493272
Siege of Avalon?

There was this black and white computer game where you'd explore a castle trying to find treasure.
It came with a level editor; I loved that.
You pressed "H" to go to your hideout where you would put the treasures you found into a pot to melt it down and when you made a suit of armour out of it you won the level.

>>493768
>Siege of Avalon
HOLY SHITTHE FUCK THATS IT GOOD GOD ANON YOU ARE THE SMARTEST OF GENIUSES!

>>493818

Hey, glad you remembered it. It's a good game, shame it didn't sell well. Believe it or not, though, it's actually not retro. It came out in like 2001. Which is probably why it didn't sell well.

>>493272
Could this be "Ancient Evil"?

It was an OK game back then.

>>493841

Yeah, looks like '00 to me online. Considered retro IMO cause MM and B-T came out around it.

Hey /vr/

My game is a actually a collection of games from when i lived in america around 1996-1997.

So the game was made up of about 50-60 smaller games and the overall content had a microsoft windows theme to it like flying toasters.

Some of he more memorable games where Rock paper scissors where the rock the paper and the scissors fought in a three-way battle on the screen

A labyrinth game where you can set size and complexity.

A game where you control a paper airplane as it is thrown through a house (avoiding hazards and such.)

there were many different games but I cannot remember anything else that stood out.

Anyone know it?

oh this game was for the pc.

It was on Playstation.

Some kind of 3rd person RTS where you could take control of different units

I remember it took a ridiculous amount of time to load like 10 minutes per map or some shit.

>a ridiculous amount of time to load like 10 minutes per map or some shit.
Front Mission 2? The maps took a really long ass time to load, not 10 minutes long, but like 30 seconds. Every action in battle took about 10-15 second to load before even executing them. It was excruciating.

>>493941
No it was RTS I am pretty sure and didn't look as nice as Frontmission 2.

>>493909
>>493990

Dune, maybe?

Or perhaps one of the Command and Conquer games? There were a few.

>>494006
no it was 3rd person from behind and you take direct control over each unit. May have been 2 player split screen.

I played it at a friends house and I also remember the other games we played being tomb raider and apocalypse starring Bruce Willis. So sometimes before 98

>>493567
I'm not kidding but I can't find it. I think it was shareware since I don't remember buying it..
Actually it looks like there were many similar games (for example "the CHAOS continuum" has a similar look and story). But I also remember there being 4 characters behaving as a group. Also I remember the fight sequences with some sort of robots, and fitting different weapons and items to the party members (a revolver, a first aid kit..)

>>494112

It was probably shareware, considering I originally played it on one of those 100 Games Demo Disks. In fact, if I could just find one of those disks that would clear up a lot of my half-remembered old games. It was made by Globalstar or Globalsoft or something.

>>493567
¡¡Holy shit you were right!! It was called SHADOWFORCE by MVP software.
you can download it here!!!

HOLY SHIT.

I'VE GOOGLED THAT BEFORE AND ALL I GOT WAS SOME BEAT-EM-UP. I WAS RIGHT ALL ALONG.

Wargames?

>>494212
Yes I think thats it

This one game where you're this man in a green shirt that goes around each level rescuing something ( I think it was bunnies ) The first level puts you in a jungle type area.

Here's a tough one that's been scratching at the back of my mind for the better part of a decade:

It's an old PC adventure game from maybe the late 80's or early 90's. It's most likely text-command (like the Hugo games). Takes place in the far past (maybe fantasy world?). I only remember the first few screens of the game; it starts off in either a ruins area or castle area. One of the first items you can pick up is a sword. I don't recall getting any further than that.

It's not any of the Hugo games or LucasArts games. Pretty positive it's not a Sierra game either. It might be an old European game.

>>494281
sounds like Maddog Williams-

It fits the description, but, after looking at some screenshots and videos, it doesn't seem like the right game. Certainly doesn't spark any memories.

There was this game on the NES that I could never get past the first screen because I was 6 or some shit and couldn't figure it out. You start on a roof and you need to swing into a window somehow.

I figured it out from your post in another of these threads, by the way. I also oldfag and have been trying to figure out what that game is for years. I had forgotten that it was for Apple II. I thought it was for PC all these years. So my thanks to you.

>>494405
>>494421

That's the one. Thanks a lot.

Ok, Genesis game. I think its James Pond or something, just dont know which one. One of the first levels youre on a planet made of cheese or something.

its a vidya for the SNES. its a top-down shooter and similar to gradius you can pick up powerups.
the pic kinda reminds me of how the first level looked except your not a space shuttle but i think a fighter jet.

It was on the genesis. it was a robot fighting game set in space, on the surface of various planets.
you could build your robot out of three kinds of parts (i think? heads, bodies, and feet) all of which had different attributes. like tank tread legs that let you move faster if you knew the combo.

I had this as part of a genesis rom collection for the PC - late 90s? bought it from a PC fair for £3. so happy with that purchase.

I have been pitching this game to /v/ for years but nobody can ever figure out what it is. I'll give it another try.

>DOS or very early windows but probably DOS
>Adventure Game
>Looks between King's Quest 3 and KQ5 graphics wise

I only remember the ending because I would load the game from my brother's saves. I did this multiple times for fun because I was a dumb kid.

But, when loaded, the character was in some kind of straight 2D From-one-side-of-the-screen-to-the-other-vent. I think you crawled from right to left. The exit led to another screen with the final boss in it. My memory is that it is some kind of wizard and more specifically, his blown up head. I would always try to use a bunch of items on him for shits and giggles. But, I think the answer was just to use a wand you may have had to pick a spell on the wizard and voila, the game would be won.

Cyborg Justice

Hey /vr/

I played this game on an arcade cabinet (before 1997).
It was like R-Type, but with more spaceships (9 or 10, i think) and many power-ups.
I remember a spaceship with the shot shaped like a saw in lightblue.
One with shields like satellites. and one green.
And the first or second boss was like e big green mecha-scorpion.

Any ideas??

>>494449
there are a lot of scrolling shooters

thanks buddy.

>>494509
I tried to draw the spaceships

ground control?

Ok, very old school here -
text-based game.
Played it on the IBM PC-jr, maybe around early 90s.
Involved sleuthing around an island, with a lighthouse.
Pretty sure you started in a hotel room
There was a character you met called Mac the Knife - seemed like he killed me a lot.

I hardly remember anything about it, but it was a first person shooter for the PS1. The setting was relatively modern, dark, industrial. The only enemy I can remember was what I believe were guys in armor that had these weird jar helmets. I believe the gun was centered in the middle like Doom, not on the right like most FPS games nowadays.

Some of those details might be wrong, so take it all with a grain of salt, I guess.

>>494717
Sounds familiar. Was there a loose brick in the base of the lighthouse? And a pair of gloves behind the brick?

>>494770
>>494717
Because if so, we're talking Unnkulian Unventure. Probbaly one of the best text adventures out there.

it was for the nes. i cant even remember what i was playing. maybe an rpg or rts. i was at the edge of the screen maybe a mountain or pit or something. i was fooling around and then my cousin yelled at me because I had dropped the sword then i saw a little sparkle animation like i dropped the sword down whatever

>>494736
I might also add that it was rated M, if that helps.

>>494449
un squadron?

>mfw when I recognised the ships in the drawing

That's Blazing Star on the Neo Geo mate.

Check out this list?
It's every M-Rated PS1 game

Currently trying to see if I can find it too

>>494776
Not sure about the brick/gloves. Checking out the game you mentioned now, will let you know if that was it or not.

>>494840
>>494736

Only M rated PS1 fps I can think of, that matches your description for dark future industrial is Lifeforce Tenka, but would of been Codename Tenka in the US.

That it?

>>494776
Ok, don't think that was it. From what I remember, it did not seem like a sci-fi/fantasy game.

>>494829
Oh yess... that's the game! Thanks

>>494930
No problem anon, glad to help.

Also, great taste in shoot em ups I might add.

Japanese PS1 game, main character had sword similar to Final Fantasy 7. Fought skeleton type enimies if I remember correctly

Sorry for the brief description, this has been killing me for years

>>494964
Only oversized sword I can name other than the Buster Sword is the one used in Brave Fencer Musashi

>>494964
It had a very dark feel, fought enemies on grassy field

>>494991
Nah that's not it, the graphics are more pixely

This one shouldn't be hard. It a pac man game where you on an adventure but unable to control Pac-man himself. You can only control a slingshot that may help him or may just make his life worst. There a hidden completion % that you get for doing both good and bad stuff iirc.

I know I really should just Google this myself but there are many pac man games and ton of ports. My computer isn't the best in the world and searching for it may actually take a while for me where an answer is much quicker and I will be on 4chan for a while anyway.

>>495037
pacman 2 for the genesis

>>495065
Thanks.

I really wish I could help others on this thread but I honestly have no clue what their games could be. Kinda makes me feel bad.

>>494964
Dragon Valor?

>>494964
Could be Dragon Valor

>>479801
Is it an RTS? The hero leveling mechanic makes it sound like one of the Warlords Battlecry games.

>>494449
Acrobat Mission

>>492523
Hey anon, this is the game I was looking for. Thank you, thank you so much. You help me to recover one piece of my life back.

>>493401
Microsoft the Puzzle Collection has this game called Rat Poker

What games other than Mag Max and Volguard II have combining robots and/or horizontal shmup play?

Point and click adventure for pc there was a main character in a super hero like suit with big white hair-do and some smaller girl in a green shirt with glasses. At one point you had to make an animal to fight in some arena thing and the bad guys have a maggot that eats the entire forest or something also and hot air ballon mini game type thing.
