ToxicFrog posted:I played this as well, but I can't remember what it was called. Not it either, never played that Star Trek game. Another level detail I remembered: In the level with the ship and courtyard with an atrium, in the area with like, a red forcefield, there's a well that leads down into blackness. If you fell down that well you were killed. But you could hide by crouching in the first foot of the well to kill others. Also, if you fell into one of the blue glowing energy pillars, you'd be killed as well. These maps are bigger than what was possible with Jedi Knight II from what I see on YouTube, so perhaps it's not a Star Wars game. But I'm not sure what else it could be.

There was an A-Life game that had a thread for awhile in..GBS maybe? You had a big I guess bowl and various kinds of parasite things that bred and ate and so on, and you could drop them food. It was a pretty simple game, and there was a competition or sorts at one point between goon bred creatures. I distinctly recall the Master Race parasite thing being named Rainbow Death or something along those lines. Any ideas?

Also, in this game I'm thinking of in the other posts, I distinctly remember a custom map made by someone called "LICK." There were a few tongues and things built into the landscape, and 'LICK' built out of textures and materials in the level. Such a vague description I know, and I can't even figure out the genre. Weird memory.

It was an rts that I played around the year 2000. I never got more than ten minutes in because I didn't know what I was supposed to be doing, because I played it at a friend's house and he wouldn't explain/didn't know either. All I remember is that it starts in the desert and your ?base? had a gas-station sign that you could sell. I remember that because it was all I could figure out how to do.

Aha! I found the map I was thinking of with the energy beams and forcefields. The game WAS Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast.  The map is ffa_duelofthefates, it was a custom map. Found a screenshot too of the forcefield leading to the well I described. Got the forcefield color right  I believe I'm thinking of two separate games that I played around the same time when I was younger, like close to 10 years ago now. The LICK map described in my previous wasn't part of a Star Wars game, it was a custom level for a different game I can't figure out.. if I remember right there was a jetpack mod for this game that lots of people used. http://jediknight3.filefront.com/file/LiCk_Me;4135 Welp it looks like it was JK2 as well. VVVV Yep you're correct; most of the maps in Star Wars games were made from scenes in the films. Pretty embarrassing for me. Michael Scott fucked around with this message at 04:46 on Apr 22, 2013 |

What's great is that that is a scene from one of the Star Wars films, and you obviously don't remember that at all. Or at least, it looks like where they killed Darth Maul to me.

Fellas: Back when I was delinquent I played a social MMO like Second Life, but it was Korean (I think?) and it was in this small town. No combat, no stats, just chatting.. There was like a hot springs or a river your avatar could bathe in??? Any ideas, guys? Edit: it was Oz World. I used a "Google" to help me find it.

I only remember playing the demo on a pc, back in the late 90s. The setting was a city of some sort in the future, the player controlled a flying car and could dock in different garages/buildings. I do not remember the goal or objectives of the game. Pretty sure the perspective was first person or third person. Any idea?

Miguel Prado posted:No Kind of hard to guess if you're not sure if it was first or third person. Burn: Cycle has both though. There's bad 1st person point and click action, follow by third person FMV action around dystopian future buildings. Occasionally you get into a hover car and have to wrestle its interface to fly from location to location. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ldaf9dC2Cys Or maybe it's the Blade Runner video game? There's some flying around and visiting dark future locations there too. I'm not sure if you control the flying car there directly.

ZoltarOmniscient posted:There was a JRPG for the PSP that I rented once, I can only remember a couple of minor details about the setting. The world was divided into three realms connected by a tower, and you could start your story in any of them. The top realm was very magic centric, with you playing as an angelic being, and the middle realm had an almost steampunk feel to it, with a strong focus on characters with powered armor. I don't remember what the bottom realm was like, or if there even was one at all. This sounds cool, so I am bumping it. I've looked through various JRPGs on the PSP, and I don't *think* it's Riviera: The Promised Land, but it could be.

This is a long shot but all I can remember is a Mac shareware game from the mid to late 90s with pre-rendered 3d sprites, top down level-based asteroids-like gameplay, upgrades or power ups and most importantly traffic cones in space.

What was that top-down Mac game where you controlled a thing with your mouse, but it had inertia, so you had to quickly collect diamonds around the screen without letting it drift into enemies or obstacles? I played this on an Atari ST through an emulator, so I'm pretty sure the game was really drat old and it might have been whatever that 4-colour mode with the blue and purple colour scheme is. Also I feel like it was probably a genre in itself, or it should have been because it was pretty good!

scamtank posted:The DOS shareware version I played in 1996 was called XQuest2. Ring any bells? That does look similarish, especially the spiky obstacles. The YouTube video I'm looking at seems a lot faster paced, and I'm not totally sure you could fire bullets in my version. It's sort of hard to tell because a lot of the game was about the feel, the thing you controlled felt pretty heavy. Maybe the emulator ran slow though  e- I guess it was some variation of Crystal Quest, cheers! baka kaba fucked around with this message at 04:35 on Apr 26, 2013 |

Hmmm, maybe it is just lost to the ages. I am coming more and more to the conclusion that because the gas station thing is literally the only part of the game I ever saw, I would have to find a screenshot of it specifically. I mean, it is the very first screen of the game, but drat I do not expect to find it based on that. Thanks for the help.

Here's the only screenshot that has a gas station with sign in it that I could find (most of them I saw were reskinned in some way) the gas station is in the middle of the right-hand side of the screenshot getting blown up.
