It was such a basic game that it's really all I had to offer as information, and they were burned in my memory because i was obsessed with how they moved around, it blew my mind at the time.

I sort of recall a Civ styled game coming out recently that was weird because it had no multiplayer. I thought it was Endless Legend, but apparently it does have multiplayer.. Is there anything like that or am I just misremembering?

I've got a toughie- two large custom lightgun-style games I only ever saw at Dave & Busters. One had you playing as a firefighter, using a hose apparatus to put out fires. The other was a deep sea hunting simulator, having you hunt progressively more terrifying/huge sharks, kraken, anglerfish, etc. Can anyone identify either of these?

Your descriptions sound specific enough to be googled, so I tried that and got Brave Firefighters and The Ocean Hunter. efb

The Ocean Hunter is right, but I think the Brave Firefighters is a generation or two before what I saw- it was really high-end stuff. God, I wanna play both of those, now.

I remember a game from when I was younger, probably minimum 10-15 years ago, unsure what platform it was, but you were a kid in a spaceship that crashes somewhere on a cliff. Remember it feeling like a sidescroller kind of like Prince of Persia or something. I think the bad guys were shadows or slimes. Another one was an old PC racing game with a topdown style. I remember there was a schoolbus and that's about it. It was a lot of fun from what I remember.

Those both looks like the ones I am thinking of, thanks! Ignition looks like it'd still hold up playing with the kid, might have to sort out a working version. Not sure about Heart Of Darkness though.

Speaking of racing games, that jarred an old memory I have of a racing game for pc. I don't know which year it would've come out in, but graphically it was made of primitive 3d polygons. You drove a (blue?) indy car, first person, on a circular track. You could make some specific adjustments to your indy car. Its method of piracy protection was asking you historical race car questions before you could start up a race.

It was kind of Super Cars-y or Super Off-Road in that it was top-down with the whole track taking up the screen. The main gimmick was that it was a 4-player racer where you could choose a variety of different vehicles; mainly I remember there being sports cars, regular cars, bigger cars and even drag racers which were super loving fast but couldn't turn for poo poo. There might have been bikes too, I don't remember.

They used the historical question requirement to try and keep us from playing without permission by keeping the sheet locked away (and eventually they threw it out). We got around it by quitting and restarting until we got the question that asked about a specific year, because it was the only question we had the answer memorized to. We would drive in the wrong direction around the track to smash into the other cars to watch them blow up in all their polygonal glory, because that poo poo was impressive as hell back then.

There was this game in the arcade, and I am going to guess early to mid 90s. It was a fixed gun game and I think the theme was zombies or some poo poo. If I remember correctly one of the first levels was on a ship or something and you fought zombie dogs at some point.

Check out Beast Busters, Mechanized Attack (terminators rather than zombies but similar) and Zombie Raid. Actually check out Beast Busters and Mechanized Attack anyway since pre-Neo Geo SNK stuff is legit as hell: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hvSWgr8rF0I https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eXFLbBehv-I&t=240s Monster Raid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BUViySsUpZw Laser Ghost: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_3YiM4pbFlQ Note that Zombie Raid's lightgun is shaped like a shotgun and actually requires you to pump it/etc. to reload, do you by any chance remember what the gun was like?

Using a weird-rear end joystick that you sort of gripped horizontally with your fist, no less. Never seen anything like it since. That's gotta be it.

I never played it but just read about it. It was a squad level turn-based strategy game released on PC in the mid 90s. I think it may have been a warhammer 40k game but I'm not sure. I think it had pretty good reviews but it was later fairly well known for being basically impossible to play on any sort of modern computer.

Yeah there were a few Warhammer 40,000 strategy games in the mid nineties, Chaos Gate is definitely the one infamous for not wanting to obey on a modern machine though. If it's not that check out Final Liberation and Rites of War.blackguy32 posted:I'm pretty sure it was beast busters. The gun used was an uzi. Thanks! No problem, I love that SNK made a shooter with ludicrous gibs and such in 1990.

There was an old PC game, probably DOS based that I played in the early 90s that I can't remember the name of. It was a side-scrolling platformer of some kind, the background of the first or some early level was a starry sky, and I want to say your character is blue but I can't be sure. My mind keeps insisting the word "Cosmo" was in the title, but it is NOT Cosmo's Cosmic Adventure. If anyone knows what the gently caress this game is I would be much obliged.

Trying to think of the name of a more recent turn based strat RPG for PC. Had a cover system and each member's commands were presented on a radial that appeared on their character. Also had a very vibrant color style, and I only remembered the game because Dungeon of the Endless looks so much like it. Help

Here's a tough one; It's a platformer, pretty sure it was on Genesis but it could be SNES, I think it might have been a Disney game too. All I have to remember it by is that it had a really cool lighting effect in at least one level where it had two circle light sources over the player, one would light up the background tiles, and the other would light up the floor and I think it would even bend to match the floor. If anyone remembers this game, I promise I'll think you're awesome
