/vr/ - Retro Games

Don't know your OP, but I have a very generic one...
Mega Drive game, probably a fighter, but it may have been a beat em up, only thing I remember was a stage on a boat with some sailors (?) in the background

>>5220442
>I'll begin, RTS game for PC/DOS from the 90s. Looked and played like a straight Warcraft 2 clone, but is based on medieval Japan. I think it had a number in the title, like "7 realms" or something, but not 100% sure.
Seven Kingdoms?

bump

Seven Years War ?
Battle Realms ?

>>5221094
Oh, I got another one, thing is, I've never played the game and don't even know if it exists.

I read about it years ago, it was a game that had randomly generated music, this specific one was a computer game from the 80s and the music was in a jazz-like style, but I'll take any game with randomly generated music, curious of how many are there...

Bumping to try and keep all the fucking spam down. For fucks sake, /v/ needs to learn how to use a catalog.

It was some playstation strategy/RPG hybrid but didn't play like FFT or Tactics Ogre and was a bit more open-ended. Can't remember what else about it, but there was a similar game on Saturn. Can't remember that name either. I have every Saturn game and every US PSX game, so I just need to root through.

Strategy Game. On the Sega Genesis. There is some town exploration and some battle sections. There is one section where you have to cross a bridge-like area, with a laser attacking everyone every so many turns, even its own team-mates.

Shining Force III?

>>5227935
Not even close, it wasn't a "mainstream" game like that.

>>5227926
Gemfire, Nobunaga's Ambition, Centurion: Defender of Rome, Romance of the Three Kingdoms II, Nobunaga no Yabou: Zenkoku Han, Romance of the Three Kingdoms III: Dragon of Destiny, Genghis Khan II: Clan of the Gray Wolf, Liberty or Death, Nobunaga's Ambition: Lord of Darkness, Operation Europe: Path to Victory, Nobunaga no Yabou: Haouden, Worms. Those are all the turn-based strategy games on the Genesis. It's probably one of them.

So I played a demo once in a pc store in the late ninties. It was a PC game and it played like a sci-fi version of those desert strike games, so 2D graphics with a sort of isometric view. You flew a eldar tank like craft with in a jungle enviroment.
I think it was called something with fire or hell.

>>5227907
Brigandine? Kartia : The Word of Fate? Hoshigami: Ruining Blue Earth? Tear Ring Saga?

>>5227968
Brigandine is it. There's a Saturn something or other as well. Gonna check Hoshigami too though

>>5227963
Fire Fight, 1996.

>>5227963
Fire Fight, a total dud. flopped hard

>>5227995
>>5228024
thank you that's the one

>>5227953
None of those seem correct.

Let's see. It was top-down. And you controlled a bunch of units. And you moved them across the battlefield to defeat the enemy units. I remember there being a circus level and some boat levels. I think you were trying to defeat some guy before he released an ancient evil god, Dark Dragon or something.

>>5220442
I played this as online a long time ago.
It looked like pic related but with brighter graphics. You would fly over field and an aircraft carrier/ airship and there were power ups like laser and spread shot
I don’t remember anything else I just remember it was fun as hell.

>>5228087
I should also note that I played it in the late 2000s

>>5228087
Raiden X ? I hope not...

>>5228095
Looks like that might of been it, but I remember the graphics being much brighter with bright greens and blues

>>5228072
Well, in addition to those, there were two RTS type games. Gain Ground and Hertzog Zwei or whatever it was called. Are you sure it was a Genesis title?

>>5221094
sounds kinda like streets of rage 2 level 5

>>5220442
Can some anon help me identify a game. It was this game I remember on the PS1 on a demo disc. A character resembling Vectorman with an electric lasso as an attack of some sort. With a third point perspective fixed camera. It also had 3D graphics. That's all I can pretty much remember.

I have been trying to track down the name of this game I played on Mac as a kid (late 90's early 00's)
I have a few shitty details
It was a monster builder and when you picked which hands to use it said "horrible hands"
You call also choose backgrounds I'm pretty sure

NES or genesis game the main thing I remember is one of the floors had a big ying yang

I think it was a sidescroller and might have had a swamp area and/or surfing

>>5228393
Wild 9?

>>5229175
Town & Country Surf Designs: Wood & Water Rage or Town & Country II: Thrilla's Surfari?

It must have been an early NES platformer I think?

Some of the levels were outside,w ith green grass and blue sky, but I think some levels were in a dark cave or a castle...

There were also these green pipes and you jumped on enemies. Thanks in advance!

Not sure if retro but anyway.
3d 3rd person ARPG in Arabian or similar setting (I think) you play as a character with a sword, the sword is being held on the back when not fighting. Game has different moves you learn through the game. Some strong moves consume some resource represented as balls on the interface, some weaker ones consume as much balls as it regain from dealing damage (or just doesn't consume, I don't remember). One particular move I remember is jump (the character rolls over in the air) then attack as soon as he lands, which leads to arc slash. The timing for attack was pretty tight. The game is about as old as Blade of Darkness, maybe a bit younger. Not Arabian Nights, although color palette was very similar, and not Prince of Persia.

Shining Force

>Town & Country Surf Designs: Wood & Water Rage or Town & Country II: Thrilla's Surfari?
thanks, yea that's gotta be it. looks familiar

Ive been looking for this game for over 10 years.
Im pretty sure its for genesis.
its a side scroller that plays like gunstar heros + silhouette mirage but you are on skates. its anime style similar to those games. One of the earlier levels is a night-time city and the boss is a giant dinosaur or robot or something.

I might be mistaken and it might be silhouette mirage, but im pretty sure it was co-op and on skates. posting this pic because its the closest thing I know

Shoot em up
Sega system
1 player only
Ending
Two people together outside of the ship.
One sentence
>long wasnt it

>>5230706
DJ Boy

>>5230706
could it be Battle Mania?

>>5230792
The MD port was disappointing after playing it in the arcade.

>>5230792
nope, way more anime and flashier than dj boy thanks anyway

>>5230815
the style is exactly what I imagined and that might be the game I was trying to remember. But I could've sworn they were on skates and the city level was at night. either way thanks because that's a cool game.

if you know any other games similar to this and silhouette mirage feel free to post. im still not 100% sure Ive found it yet

I'm searching for a game I swore I saw being played on the Cinemassacre channel, it was a perspective similar to Toe Jam and Earl 1 for the Genesis/Mega Drive and it involved you casting spells I think on your enemies and truning them into some kind of fruit? It was zany and whacky and crazy and strange and all that and it looked like a genuine fun time but now I cannot seem to find it anywhere. Any help is appreciated.

Also I'm not sure if was a 32 bit game but it seemed too complex for 8 bit. Possible it was on the PS1 but I really don't know for sure.

Pretty sure it was on one of the following:
7800
Genesis/Sega CD
SNES
Turbo Graf 16/PC Engine
cd-I
3do
Jaguar
PS1
Possibly the FM Towns or the MSX or 68k

>>5220442
>SNES
>Roleplaying Game
>I think it was the title screen had a picture of stonehenge, colors were dark blues and greens mostly
>hard to get from 1st to second level
>there was a boat you could get on and travel around
>party followed you around, top-down on the field
>in combat turned into turn based game where you could move and attack
>remember throwing axes and fighting orcs
>felt really hard to get from first to second level

On the NES there was this vertical shmup where you fly over a swamp and the boss is a crocodile

>>5231275
Worlds of Ultima: The Savage Empire?

>>5231331
You sure about that? Here's a list of EVERY vertical shmup on the NES: http://nesartifacts.blogspot.com/p/nes-shmup-guide.html

Some kind of educational activity center game for mac in the early 90s themed around aviation and airports. You had a wide selection of minigames to play revolving around various airport activities and as you completed them you unlocked printable paper airplane instructions.

A game where you explore and learn about the oceans. No its not Treasure Cove where you actually control a character. This is more of a slide show where you go from screen to screen and learn about things like you're at a museum or something. The art style was really realistic like its digitized photographs and not cartoony. In one part you're at the abyss and you use a flashlight to lighten up all those scary deep fish.

It was also on mac and on floppy disk not a CD rom. Maybe a CD rom version came later but after looking through every single educational mac game on wikipedia its not any of them.

>>5232485
I was about to say EcoQuest, but hell if I know.

>>5220442
I think I found it, OP:
http://homeoftheunderdogs.net/game.php?id=3600

If it's not that one, then this one could be worth a look:
http://homeoftheunderdogs.net/game.php?id=1239

I just happened to remember reading about these two games on there back when I was in elementary school and never got the chance to play them.

>>5233087
Also, I remember a SNES game where you could play as a boy, girl, and maybe a robot. It seemed like some kind of side-scrolling adventure game, but that's all I can recall.

>>5231275
That's Ultima VI for sure.

>>5227926
Dark Wizard?

>>5228235
Probably not, but thanks, I forgot to mention it was definitely early in the game

>>5231173
does anyone have any idea on this? I'm dyin here

>>5231173
Wiz 'n' Liz maybe? I have no clue.

>>5221094
Growl/RunArk ?

monochrome green apple ][ educational game. number munchers frog thing, except he's running along the screen, and letters, numbers, and punctuation would scroll into the screen and you had to hit the right key to jump over them. Higher difficulties gave you less time to hit the key and threw in more out of the way keys.

This might be difficult as I don't really recall much of it, but it's somehow stuck in my memory.

I had the demo from these magazine discs, it's a PC game from early 2000's and that's mostly what I am kind of sure about. The game self was almost certainly a 3D game, I think it was either 1st or 3rd person view. Pretty sure you did control your own 1 character, at least innitially. The colors that I had in my mind associated with it is yellow/brown. I think what I played seemed like a desert? You could interact/fight with something like animals? Not sure whether they were something real or made up, maybe they were dinosaurs. I also think you could've swapped between items/weapons to use and maybe there were some special abilites, but that's really hazy and possibly misleading.

Anyway, I don't think it was a huge game, since I tried to search for it countless of times with no result, nor am I sure I would properly recognize it if I actually saw it, but I really want to find it eventually to get my peace of mind.

>>5231625
That sounds a bit similar to a demo I remember on the disc of Spy Fox in "Dry Cereal."

>>5235792
Nah there were no animal characters. There was one airport mechanic that looked like superman though.

>>5228971
Big help coming here, wasn't it.
Like I said earlier, all you get is a bunch of make-believe experts blabbering about "DOS-Roms", whatever the hell that is.

>>5236079
The only person saying "Dos rom" is you

>>5236017
Alright. I actually don't remember any animal characters in the one I'm talking about, but it's getting close to twenty years since I played it.

>DOS game
>It was found on Legacy or Twilight "various" stuff
>It ran at 640x400 or 640x480
>It was a 2D game
>You played as a robot that had the ability to turn into a ball and swing by shooting hooks
>Each level was as big as the screen
>Predominat color was blue
>There were enemies
I've been trying to find it again inthe last ten years, but it must have been in a CD that I lost of gave away.

>>5236639
Jesus, my grammar is toast this evening. I must also be hallucinating or something.

>>5231173
Attack of the Mutant Penguins? It could be anything

>>5236092
And you.

bump

>>5237573
>Attack of the Mutant Penguins

YES! YOU ARE MY HERO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

>>5236639
See? More DOS-Rom banter.

>>5234410
Thanks, but no. In fact, the more I think about it, the more I get the feeling It was a fighting game...

>>5239782
You're on crack.
