dads_work_files posted:Alliance: The Silent War. What a horrid, generic title for such an awesome-looking game. I had no idea it was being worked on again, I had heard the developers had been put to work making Second Life accessories. I guess now nobody plays Second Life any more they're able to actually make something cool and worthwhile again. Bingo, that's it. Current site's over here. Not many development updates, but the team's still working on it and it has a donation page.

FluffyDice posted:I remember playing a game when I was younger but I have only a very slim memory of it. It was a side scrolling 2d platformer with blob creatures as enemies. Very cartoony. You could drop buckets of other slime on them to kill them. Word Rescue. There's also Math Rescue, which is the same but with math. I loved those games as a kid. I only ever played the first shareware episode, but it was fun enough on its own. You can download it from the official site, though obviously you'll need to fiddle with dosbox or something to get it running. Why, yes, they're still selling the full version 20 years later.

You are awesome. 6.04 AUD plus 2.98 for the extended download service. Definately pick that up later.

I'm trying to remember this other educational game I played. It was about history, and it featured some weird alien guy who you had to find in various time periods, and there were interactive drawings of these periods.

Trying to remember two DS games I used to have, first one was one where you built and fought robots. 3D graphics during play, 2D sprites when navigating game world. Second was a semi-RTS? You controlled a fighter plane over the battlefield but could deploy infantry and so on too. Entirely side scrolling and there were WW2 and modern missions.

Second one made me think of Armor Alley, which led to Super Army War which was on GBA.

Trying to remember a PC puzzle game, few years back. Egyptian feel, you had an overview of a grid map that was mostly covered in fog of war. Revealing things charged your staff with scarab energy? Also you found cities which you had to conquor (maybe) with a resource of men, maybe you were gathering food. It was mentioned on the penny arcade frontpage years ago.

No idea what system this was for but the game was sort of a rougelike where you progressed upwards through a tower if randomly generated floors battling and capturing monsters in a manner vaguely like Pokemon or Dragon Warrior Monsters or something. There was some form of town management or upgrading system that you could sink money into to improve the shops and services you had access to every X floors when you unlocked a teleporter to take you to town and back.

Okay, played this logic puzzle game waaaay back in late elementary school and I can't remember what the heck it was. You 'controlled' these weird blue ball guys, and one of the puzzles had a tree stump creature that wanted a pizza made to his exacting standards, complete with a hammy voice acted "Make me a pizzaaaaaaaa!"

A game back in the... Windows 95 era? Maybe earlier? You played as someone trapped in a pyramid/tomb, and had to push blocks, avoid enemies and climb ladders and such to solve the problems. Each puzzle you solved unlocked different ones. I remember the animation of the character pulling himself up the side of blocks.

A turn-based strategy game I played on a Mac back in the late 80s or 90s. It was a basic military game with ships and planes and tanks and cities, but there was a sound effect where a dude would say "blahst!" all the time. I cannot for the life of me remember the game, but it was a good one.

I'm trying to remember the name of an Amiga game. Basically, it is top-down and tile-based. I think it's a puzzle game. The most notable thing about it is the artstyle; the main character is like a bald dwarf and I remember him looking up and screaming at the player. The general colour palette is very dark and brown and there was a sort of surreal nightmare fuel quality to it. The game featured still images of the main character looking creepy in a Monty Python or Edward Gorey-esque fashion. Also, I seem to recall there being a convoluted story as well as a sequel and there was this weird allegorical norse mythology thing going on.

I'm trying to remember the name of some dark adventure game from the 90s. All I remember concretely is the word "Cygnus" and that it took place in a city. I remember the game was pretty gruesome and mature (or at least felt that way to 8 year old me).

I remember a game I used to play as a kid (late 1980's) which had you as a little spaceship of some sort, that could move vertically in order to navigate through horizontal laser beams with a small gap to let you squeeze through. If I remember correctly, it's a sort of early faux-3D isometric affair. I was sure the game was called "Xenon", but searching wikipedia brought up a different game entirely. I'm fairly certain it started with an X, but not sure.

So I can't remember much about this game, but I will do my best to ty and give as much information as possible. It has an RPG for the PC that came out in the 90s I think. I first came into contact with it from a Demo disc. The demo disc was blue, had a lady on the front of it and there was something going on with her face. Like it was being pixelated in big blocks or something like that. Edit: I think another game on the demo disc was an underwater strategy game(C&C style). I remember you started off as a male and if you headed south east you would come up to a tavern. The UI might have been similarly laid out as PlaneScape: Torment. This is about a much as I can remember, it's been probably 10 years or so.

I remember very little about this game except that my friend played it. It was on the PC, and I remember seeing him play it...oh, about '95-'96, somewhere around then. The game's action took place from the side, so I'd call it a sidescroller, but it didn't involve platforming or anything. The setting was all natural - I remember him walking through a snowy forest. The game, if I remember right, was pseudo-adventure, as in you needed to get items to use them on things to proceed, but it didn't have large areas or much dialogue (at least from what I observed). All I remember is the character being, I think, a native american, and at one point he needed to get a spear and later to get by a white wolf who was blocking the path. I think there may have been a part where he needed to cross a small chasm. This is all very hazy. I think the graphics were similar to King's Quest V, although the main character took up about a third of the screen I think.

I'm looking for a post apocalyptic racing game. It was PC, from the 90's and the demo featured two tracks, one of which featured a section of a dam on which you could drive. I don't remember there being any weapons on the cars. I'm thinking tyhe name of the game was "RPM" "Drift" "Throttle" or something along those lines. I remember the graphics being quite decent and the sound of the cars being a quite distinctive drone. I'd love to find this game again

I'm looking for an older game that I played on a neighbor's computer over five years ago. You took command of some sort of ground-level hovercraft, and the primary interface was you looking out from the cockpit of your vehicle. Your primary weapons were fire-and-forget guided missiles, of which you had about eight, and your supply of missiles regenerated over time. The enemies were big flying bugs, which I can't really remember much detail about but I think they made me think of mutated hornets. One detail I do remember is that your vehicle had some sort of radar system that started beeping louder and louder when the flying bug enemies approached, and it was fairly tense to squint into the fog in all directions for enemies when the beeping started. The gameplay took place on an island level. The final (or only?) objective was to destroy the mutant hornet hive, which I think was this floating orange/brown structure that you pumped missiles into while enemies spawned from it. I think that it was a demo version of the game, because when you finished off the enemy base you skimmed off the island over the water and the game ended.
