I had this fast food restaurant simulator for the Amiga 500 that came for free with a game magazine. I've forgotten the name, but it can't be anything original. Played that thing forever, never heard of it elsewhere.

I just remembered this co-op thing I used to play in the arcades as a kid, don't know the name. It was a driving game but it was also a lightgun shooter, like one player drove the car and the other one fired the guns. I think you were either cops or gangsters. Looking back on it I feel like this is actually an extremely awesome concept and they should do a remake to encourage people to brave the blinding sunlight in order to spend time actually hanging out with real human beings

Liero was a rad DOS game we used to play all the time on the computers at school, it was basically a real-time version of Worms with a ton of customization. Most of the times we just turned on infinite ammo and used the wonky physics to turn machine guns in makeshift jetpacks by firing at the ground

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vu3jzhwK60A&t=20s Warheads SE was the poo poo growing up. Even though it was shareware, somehow the shareware license got screwed up and let me do fully-unlocked game stuff, like make custom weapons. I remember my friend and I crafting a missile that would burrow through planets, then just straight up make a new planet when it hit the other side, then burrow through that and make another planet, splitting after each planet was made. Eventually the whole screen was planets, and on the last stage of the missile it would turn all the planets into fire, killing everyone still alive, including the person who shot it.

I remember turning weapon reload to 0 and having ridiculous spam fights with a naruto weapon pack

For content, I played some game on the NES that involved some doctor guy and moving pipes. There was an alternate game mode where he sleep walks and you gotta guide him to safety. Another game kind of in that same vein was Rocko's Modern life on the SNES, but you had to protect his dog Spunky.

Not super obscure, but I remember having Drakkhen for the Super Nintendo in 1994. It was a pretty generic RPG, but it had an overworld map that involved a first person view and polygon graphics. In 1994, those were exciting things for a console game to have!

I got this game off a MacAddict CD once, it was like a Myst/Manhole-esque adventure game except you just like wake up and go to school and stuff. You could encounter an alien and also Busta Rhymes, and you would lose HP if he blew his smoke in your face. It had low res black and white graphics. I've been trying to figure out the name for years.

There was the Fairchild Chanel F. It was the first real cartridge system (actual ROMs instead of just jumpers). Black and white, and it had a really weird joystick, it was a stick with a knob that you could kind of tilt on top. For the NES, we had Star Voyager. I think it tried to be a serious space sim. In practice, you flew through a lot of empty systems and landed on barren planets until you ran out of fuel and had to reset the game. I think there was some kind of actual plot involving enemy ships, a mothership, and upgrades on the planets (one time we landed on a planet with statues, but there was no difference afterwards). But there was no guidance towards anything, just blundering around the galaxy. Oh, and on PC, there was a little game called CD-Man. It was basically an unfinished Pac-Man clone with hi-res 16 color graphics and bloody deaths. And Dangerous Dave, but that was an early John Romero game, so people have heard of that one. It was nice for showing off a fancy new VGA card.

Did anyone ever play anything on ten.net around like 1996? It had duke nukem, quake, total annihilation and some other things. But it also had some freeware games which were all multiplayer. One was a game where you had a spaceship and were on a planet and would shoot weapons at other spaceships positioned at other planets. Some weapons would get caught in the planets graviton all pull and stuff so you had to power/aim them just right to loop thru space and hit the other players. I think you could also make your own weapons so you could make rockets that would shoot thru a planet and multiply and come out with tons of warheads. Also sometimes they wouldn't work right and you'd just gently caress yourself up. Anyone know what I'm talking about

There was this coop game for snes where you played as mickey and donald going through a fantasy world, both of the characters had different costumes they could pick you and it would give them different powers like kirby, the game also let you pick up blocks and each other and troll which was pretty fun. It was entirely in japanese and i don't think it got an american release, i remember the title saying MICKEY III or something like that

I wouldn't say the game itself OWNED but, well... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekkk8sVajqE Let's just say I have a soft spot for it. D/Generation and Onesimus were legit good though. Also ONE for the PS1, so fun.

  I played this a lot when I was 5-6. The suggested age range on the box makes me think the people at that company didn't give kids much credit in the brains department.

cell posted:Enemy Nations was a very highly-rated RTS from '97, but I've never met anyone who's actually played it. It's freeware now (http://www.enemynations.com/index.html) and the developer makes enterprise software these days. I guess it doesn't really hold up nearly 15 years later, but I always enjoyed playing it. holy poo poo i played this for hours on end when i was ten years old it gives you a great feeling of setting up and expanding your colony on an unknown planet, and the economic system was surprisingly sophisticated, but the enemy AI is totally broken and either rushes you right at the beginning or does nothing at all i remember taking a really long time to place my rocket ship to make sure it was close to both coal/iron deposits and forests. it was one of those weird games that was light-years ahead of its time but at the same time was pretty much broken
