I don't know the name of it. It looked kind of like Exile escape from the pit or castle of the winds, but it was on a mac classic. I saw this in 2001 and the mac classic was in the classroom because my school district required a computer in every class room. Anyone know what this might have been? The mac dork in my class was pretty happy it was on there.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_QqM7yiPIQ This game was the poo poo. It had local mutiplay where you could build giant armies to conquer everyone risk style. You send your heroes out on quests to gain level and get items like the wand of necromancy. We'd play games that were easily 12 hours long. Really had alot of fun and wasted a ton of hours on this game.

holy poo poo guys holy poo poo this thread made me remember this thing remember this? It was like some japan action rpg they didn't really bother to translate or provide cultural context for in the american version but me and my bro found it at blockbuster and it owned mystical ninja starring goemon who is goemon? why does the title insist the game STARS goemon? should I know who that is? Why does he have eyeshadow? What is that coin thing he's holding? Is he the mystical ninja? Is he wearing an anime wig or something? It was real fun but was my first step toward realizing that japan is p hosed and anime is bad also I remember the fat sidekicks arms spun around funny Are there any animes in here who could explain this to me after like 20 years

Legend of the Mystical Ninja was a really good side scrolling beat-em-up with some RPG elements for the SNES. Great game besides the password save system. Apparently it was part of a series but who cares.

I know Diggers. I only ever owned a demo, but it's probably what gave me a taste for the whole "build mines and dig up resources like a filthy dwarf" genre. The sequel was also pretty cool.

Bold Robot posted: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. It was probably one of the World Builder adventure games. Did it have a tiny window? I don't remember any of them with hit points though.

Oh man, now I remember the weirdest and most obscure game ever. When I was really little our first family "computer" was a C64, followed by an old Tandy DOS machine. Shortly after that my dad bought a Mac for work, and because it was self-contained and relatively portable sometimes he would bring it home and even put shareware games and poo poo on it, like I remember there was an adaptation of Mille Bornes (it blew my mind when I later discovered this was an actual card game.) But the most bizarre and magical game of all was CAP'N MAGNETO: Completely bizarre rear end adventure game with some light RPG elements (and lots of shareware nag screens). There were all kinds of random aliens that would sort of kramer around the map and there were items to collect and puzzles to solve but I never got very far. I would grind up by killing a bunch of aliens and then randomly get owned by some superalien out of the blue. In retrospect I'm not even sure what I thought I was accomplishing by genociding aliens but it made numbers go up and that was the extent of my 6 year old understanding of videogames. Astoundingly, the game's shareware site still exists like some kind of prehistoric fly preserved in amber.

So many of these games. Unfortunately, no YouTube links, but I'll try to edit some in later. There was Operation: Inner Space, this weird PC game with a bunch of crazy ship designs that was basically a shmup that generated levels based on your PC's file system and the contents of your hard drive. The site still exists and I think the game can even still be ordered, but I can't be sure. In addition to that, there was another shmup set inside a computer called ShadowWraith, a Mac-exclusive title that was at my old elementary school. I remember the music was really good and the gameplay was decent, but I can't actually find any footage/shareware/anything related to it. And finally, something that literally no one believes existed, a shareware game called STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl, in which you played as a Stalker trying to reach the heart of the Forbidden Zone in Chernobyl. It was a side-scrolling DOS platformer/shooter, and not a particularly good one, but it's certainly a head trip every time I see the newer STALKER games and flash back to the old shareware episode I played when I was 10.

Oh God I had that game, it was such a mess. Can't really think of many other games I had that were obscure... the original DOS Rogue, Nyet (Tetris before it was Tetris), The Incredible Machine, those were the earliest but I'm pretty sure everyone had those.

THE PENETRATOR posted:brave fencer musashi, a really good rpg where u played musashi and u saved people from bincho fields That game was awesome, the sequel sucked.

In '77 when all of my rich friends were getting Atari 2600s for Christmas, my welfare-cheese-eating-rear end got a Comp IV. It was a little game where you had to solve a 3, 4, or 5 digit random number combination by choosing a combination of numbers at random, then you get simple feedback of how many of those numbers were correct. You finally solve it in X number of turns, and that's your score, then you start again and try to beat that score. So I don't want to hear about it.

"Popcorn". It was a breakout/Arkanoid clone that I only ever saw in 4 color CGA. Also, from all of the word in menus, I am fairly certain it was French in origin? No idea how I got ahold of it, but the diskette became corrupt and that was the end of it.

i had a shareware copy of one game that had randomly generated dungeons which i played a lot, i can't remember the name but i keep thinking it was something like descent or depths, its probably not though. it was supposed to be scifi in the sense that you were exploring underground in some planet, but the thing that kept killing me was that you only had a limited amount of oxygen and when you ran out you died. there were mushrooms or something that you could use to get more oxygen, i think. i had a hex editor and went through changing certain values that were "01" to "00" until i found the one that modified the oxygen value and i got pretty far with it then. i thought that was pretty resourceful for a 10 year old but unfortunately ive never done anything as clever as that since. another one was excelsior which i loved i ended up buying the full version just a few years ago actually, even though it's still like $12 or something, and got around to finishing it but it was underwhelming over all edit http://excelsior-rpg.com/register.htm 15 loving US dollars
