Games that you never played but the box art always piqued your interest

>> No.6436391

I remember this because it was often showed at a vidya TV show in my country.
It was a nice novelty game form what I remember, where you could move in any direction on zero gravity.
And yeah the cover has an interesting design, kinda looks like an advertisement photo, or a music album cover. Cute girl.

I never understood the Forsaken ads, what does this bitch have to do with ships flying around indoors and shooting each other?

nothing.

This was done to bait horney young men into playing a game they'd other have passed on if they'd used the actual ships or something else from the game for the cover.

True, I was about 14/15 when it came out. I remember these full page ads being plastered in all the game magazines, sometimes two page spreads. It had the opposite effect to me, games that did that kind of stuff where they focused on something totally unrelated instead of you know, the fucking game, always made me suspicious even then

>> No.6436675

Oh wow. I legit played Forsaken for the first time like last week. My first thought was, "Wow, that ad blitz in the gaming mags back in the day was totally undescriptive of the actual game".

>> No.6436690

i played it when it was new on both playstation and n64, but don't have an opinion on the cover, because the PAL covers don't have the girl on it

saw this in the german nintendo magazine as a kid and was quite intrigued. although playing the game itself was somewhat mediocre and it had nothing to do with that advertising shot either.

Just me or is the PC version a pain in the ass to run?
Every time I try to start it on Win98 it crashes the entire system. Maybe it just doesn't like my choice of video cards? Got a set of Voodoo2 in SLI and a Geforce 4.

There was this one PlayStation 1 game my Friend had that I never played. There were three people on the cover all had guns and one was a clown . The other was a girl with big ass tits and a bandage on one of her tits. The last guy was a black guy I think. I never played it but I wanted to coom to the girl. I believe it was some type of 3rd person shooter.

Don't have hi-res art of the cover but the artist is unmistakably Simon Bisley if you want more art of grimy chicks with big tits.
