I downloaded this free turn-based 2d RPG game a few years back and forget what it's called. The few things I remember are that there's a central character who is a "dark ninja/'I'm an angsty experimental warrior who wants to be good!'" archetype and he becomes one of the bad guys a quarter of the way through and doesn't rejoin the party until the game is almost over. There were lots of party members. I recall an Indiana Jones type of gunslinger who traveled around with his female summoner companion. And one white-mage girl reveals she was raped by enemy soldiers about halfway through the game in a ridiculously hammy scene that this particular game is infamous for. I think there may have been an air-ship battle scene where you jumped from ship to ship. Anyone know what it's called? It's seriously bugging me since I want to recommend it to a friend who is looking for free traditional-style RPG games as it has a FFIV-ish vibe to it but no dice.

A science fiction game where you're some type of mercenary. You can buy and customize a space ship and outfit it with different types of weapons. Battles are top down and 2d I think. There's also top down, 2d ground battles where you control a team of mercenaries. All I remember is really loud screams when one of them dies. I think it was packaged in a set with civlization and colonization?

I used to play this game a lot with my cousin in the late 90's. It was a free game, maybe shareware? You were an army dude in a trench and you threw grenades at another dude in a trench in front of you. Like the "3rd-person" levels in contra. You could also shoot as well. Here are some pics I have:

I'm trying to remember the name of a browser based game I played a while back. It was a sim/empire building game where you built your various towns and could create more towns and fight each other. The key things I remember are the city maps were grid based and where your positioned buildings mattered. If you built a quarry beside a pile of rocks they would get a % bonus to their output. 2 Quarry beside each other would do the same(I believe). SO the idea was to build an optimal city. It ended up people would make the optimal build charts for whatever the goal of your city was, like this: HQQQH HQQQH HQQQH FFFFF Where H = House, Q = Quarry, F = Forest. Thats not an accurate build, but it gives you the idea. Anyone remember what this was called?

MikeDM92 posted:I remember playing this futuristic 3D RTS game where all of your units were robot like things and you could take control of any of your units and drive/walk around and shoot with them in the first person. I remember the default color it started you out as was red and one of the buildings was just a giant dome. If you went inside the dome in first person mode, it was a wide open space with grated floors. The only map I remember was just generic grey/brown crumbled canyons. And I'm looking for a PC game that sounds kinda like this: It's a platformer. You're a cop (or private dick) and go around puonching "street toughs" and having sex with prostitutes. You can change between various positions and when you make the prostitute cum she gives you a powerup or information. In a couple of levels you ride around on a chopper. Also, each mission unlocks a sex toy which you can use between missions on your girlfriend. I remember playing it sometime around 1999-2000. Also it was password protected; you chose a password during setup (I think). The only other things I remember are: the player character is dressed in blue and one of the sex toys was a string of anal beads.

First of all,it's a Famicom game,not even sure it ever saw a NES release. It was a very late game, possibly one of the very last made for the system. It was a quite fast paced top-down sci-fi shooter,very intense,at least for my 10 year old self. Lots of strobing, especially in the purple. One thing I remember is that if you weren't shooting,this sort of bubble would eventually form in front of your ship and would then explode when you started shooting again. The bosses were huge,with plenty of segmented spindly parts.

I have a question about a PS1 RPG. The game was in 2d until combat. It took place in a medieval-ish setting. All I remember is that you rescue a prince from a jail/prison at one point and he joins the party, and others tease him about how girly he is. I never got past a boss that consisted of a female character in a pink robe/dress flanked by two creatures. I loved the game, but can't remember the name for the life of me. Sorry it's so vague.

Tough one here. Super Famicom (Japanese) title. You're marooned on an island and have to survive while building shelter and finding a way off. I don't know if it's in the same series as Survival Kids/Lost in Blue but it had a similar premise. I only remember playing it on a random rom and now I can't remember the name without going through all 800 roms again.Capilarean posted:Planet's edge possibly? Recca?

I'm trying to remember a PC game that I played at a friend's house when I was younger. I want to say it was around 2001 when I played it last, but I'm pretty sure the game was made in the 90s. I think it was about some sort of a private investigator who's name you could choose for yourself. He was sent to Sin City to investigate a murder done in a hotel and the local police had a suspect already, a woman called Jinx (probably..?), but they lacked evidence against her. The game starts with the investigator being on a plane and the plane landing. Next the guy got into a cab that was soon stopped by a police officer. Whenever you had a conversation with someone you'd have three options to choose from. Usually only one of them would lead you onward in the game, while the other two might upset the NPCs or just lead to nowhere or in worst cases get you arrested or killed, which would end the game immediately. The investigator arrived at the hotel but was soon comfronted by the main suspect in the crime, that woman, Jinx. Also, where as most graphics in the game were kinda paint-drawn and really simple with hardly any shadows or dimensions, the people in the game were FMV clips of actors. I can't remember what the woman said to the investigator, but nothing too bad I guess. Anyway, the investigator then proceeded to the hotel he was supposed to stay in for the time of the investigation. In fact, the murder had happened in that particular hotel. About the hotel, I remember that the stairs were closed most of the time(near the end you could maybe use them?) and one of the floors (probably the second) was closed too. Like, when the investigator got on the elevator and it stopped on the second floor there was an obvious crime scene right in front of the elevator. There was those tapes that investigators use to line the position where they've found the body. The investigator's room was on the third floor and since you couldn't get off the elevator on the second, he went up and into his room. There was a TV in his room and the player was supposed to turn it on before going to bed. There was the news on and they were talking about the murder. The investigator would fall asleep in the middle of the program, though, and have a nightmare about the case. That's how vividly I remember the beginning of the game, but then it get's a bit more blurry. The next morning the investigator was supposed to go to a restaurant, I guess... I think that on his way someone told him to not order something at the restaurant because it'd kill him, but I don't remember what it was. In the restaurant the player was first supposed to do a small puzzle: the menu had been ripped to several pieces and the player had to combine them into a right order. Yeah... then he could eat. Most locations in the game were that kind where you'd visit several times during the game and they sometimes played a pretty critical role in it. And right stuff needed to be done in right order for the player to get on with the game. Mostly the game was about solving minor puzzles, confronting people and finding different kind of items as evidence. Any ideas?

Been looking for this game for a good while, not quite sure of the release date but I must have played it around mid-late 90's. So a Win95/98 game. It was a platformer, started off near a vehicle, tank or a jeep if I recall correctly. I believe it must have been a Win95 game. You collected fruit (in a forest, or forest-like environment). This is all I recall from the actual game, and I think that was just the first level. This is incredibly vague, and unfortunately the only other thing I recall from playing this game is the screen being horribly orange. Though that was the laptop monitor rather than the game itself, I couldn't say what colours the game had.

over a decade ago I played a game on the Sega Genesis, that I remember as being incredibly fun, but now the only solid thing I can remember is that it was a platformy game and there was SOME kind of... ferris wheel? carnival? zone or theme to the game. Not a lot to go on, I know. Equally unlikely, I had a PC cdrom of demo/shareware games, and there were two games on there that I played constantly. One was a space-trader-ish game that I keep thinking was called "solaris" but that doesn't turn up anything I could find. the graphics were very simple, lines and dots for planets. the other of the two games was a lemmings-type game set aboard the RMS Lusitania, and you played some kinda scuba diver guy flipping switches and poo poo to reverse conveyor belts to keep the passengers safe and get them to an exit.

I found a freeware game a long time ago where you could draw blocks and connect them with joints and springs and create things with them. Physics simulator and building thing. Anyone know what it's called? (There's probably loads of them but i can't find a single one now). It was quite in-depth, you could set friction on objects and layer them behind eachother (the whole thing was in 2d though). Success! It's PHUN.

I remember a recent game, probably in the last year or so. I can't find the name of it and it's been bothering me, have seen a gameplay video once. The game is a party based(?) action adventure rpg game. The distinctive and key feature of the game is that it is imperative to do the quests while there is daylight. If you are caught out of town at night, the game is nearly impossible to see, with mobs popping out of the woodwork to kill you. Edit: Found it. Dragon's Dogma.

Little bit outside the concept of the threat, but I've forgotten the name of a game. Only its fairly recent. It's a mod that I think was released just this month (or I first heard about it this month, but it was definitely released less than a year ago), and thanks to a crazy week at work I can't remember anything about it. All I can remember is that it was a mod to a space game (I do remember it wasn't the new Wing Commander), it's name had nothing to do with the game it came from, it was the first official non-beta release after several years of work, and it was a total conversion style mod. Also it was either in the news or mentioned in some SA post a week or two ago. Edit: Nevermind, lots of searching and dumb luck turned up Torn Stars, which I guess is a beta release rather than full. nessin fucked around with this message at 05:35 on Apr 28, 2012 |

Okay, this is probably going to be hard one since I only vaguely remember it. It was a shareware version of a late 90's or early 2000's adventure game. Modern setting. I think the player character was investigating something at a hotel, and I believe he had to search lockers or something in the beginning of the game. The demo ends when he makes it up to one of the hotel rooms and discovers a clue involving one of the windows...I think. Come to think, it might be the same game that biopanda is describing, but a lot of the details he mentions don't ring a bell for me. Maybe it's because he had the full version.

This is an old Genesis game. It was a top down helicopter combat game;. You would be placed onto a giant battlefield with a mission to accomplish, such as blow up this building or whatever. The battlefields were huge, and the only thing that really sticks out in my mind is going up along the shore and taking out stealth boats.
