No Gravitas posted:RPG   Whether it is or not, I have no idea where to track down the original 16 bit version, as this one refuses to run in Win 3.1 and it's tied to the CPU speed so the game runs too drat fast compared to the demo. If anyone knows about an earlier version of the professional version then that would be great.

djw175 posted:So it was a somewhat early 3d CRPG, sort of in the vain of Neverwinter Nights. The only two things I remember about it were that it had the inventory made of blocks system that Neverwinter Nights had and one of the things you can do in the game. There's a building on fire and you can rush in to save a kid with the female lead casting a spell on you to help you survive. After you rescue the kid, she berates you for being stupid enough to run into a building on fire. Found the game I was looking for! Return to Krondor, sequal to Betrayal at Krondor.

Hey guys, I remember a old ps2 game where you can transform into monsters. There was some egyptian style influences in the design, I think.

Wouldn't happen to be Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy? I don't think there's monster transformation in that game, though.Stathol posted:It's definitely not Ultima Underworld, and as far as I can tell it's neither of these series, either. I can also say that it's definitely not any of the Avernum games. The combined descriptions sound like Amberstar/Ambermoon.

The FAQ I found on GameFAQs to make sure it's the game I was thinking of assumed you use the shift forms as little as possible, which I find really weird because the whole fun was using the shift forms.

There's a game I remember seeing a demo of on a PC Format coverdisk that was huge fun, and I've never been able to find the full version. It ran on Win95/98, and I think it was called Butterfly, but when I've looked, I've never been able to find the full version, so I guess that can't be it. It was a side-scrolling platformer where your character, a soldier, could rescue others. When you did, they followed you around: whichever was at the front of the queue gave you extra abilities (so if a grenadier was following you, then he'd throw grenades while you fired; if a nurse followed you, she'd heal you slowly over time) and they also served as your HP, so when you took damage, whoever was at the front of the queue got killed instead of you. The only other thing I remember was a sidequest involving escorting a Tower of Hanoi piece back to the rest of its tower, and that the first boss was a tank in the shape of a goldfish.

This was a free/freemium PC game that I played some time in the early 00's. It was an online team-based shooter with sci-fi themes, with each team controlling tanks. One person in each team could pick up a special item and be that team's commander, which allowed them to view the entire map of the battle and place buildings down. Not Battlezone, but similar.

I've got a couple: This one is probably more obvious. An early 00s fantasy game with a major tie-in to Skittles. I think Skittles was the main magic resource. I always get it confused with Drakan. The other one is an early 90s edutainment game, on either DOS or Windows 95 (at the very least the computer I played in on was running Windows 95). There's a randomized magic castle, where each room is a static screen that involved some kind of puzzle or elementary school type question. I remember that the art was fairly detailed and had a large color palette for the time. Edit: That last one was Mind Castle: Spell of The Word Wizard.

I'm failing to remember the name of a 3D FPS/vehicular combat game for PC; I believe it came out before 2001, but I'm not 100% sure. I think it was apocalypse themed, and there are two missions that I remember from it: one at least halfway through the game where you have a bomb strapped to your car and you are on a timed mission to drive across a desert-like road to get to a garage that can disarm it, and a final mission where you defend a base from a large amount of enemy cars using turrets on the walls.

I'm trying to remember some PSX game that came on a demo disc in the late 90s. You were piloting this robot around in a closely-angled 3rd person perspective, going around shooting like... robotic snakes in some kind of hangar. It was really obtuse. There was also some kind of two-player mode in a field where you fought robots.

I remember a Ghost in the Shell demo where you controlled one of the spider robots and had to infiltrate some warehouse/hangar (there were several but you had to head for one of them), and you could run up walls and hang upside down and so on. I forget what you had to shoot but I'm pretty sure lock-on missiles we're involved e https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZHlfNc47OA8 No snakes so maybe not! baka kaba fucked around with this message at 15:35 on Jun 4, 2016 |

If it turns out it's not Ghost in the Shell, I could see someone calling the basic enemies on Zone of the Enders snakeish if they hadn't played in a decade.

Yesterday i randomly remembered a game that I struggled a lot with when I was younger so I wanna go back and kick its rear end. I'm almost certain it was on pc, and it was a kinda open world 2d game where you played as a caveman. You stated with basically nothing, but I think you could craft a spear from a rock, which let you actually win fights?

Was it top down or side scrolling? Any other information like relative year or platform (DOS or windows?). The first thing I think of when you say "2D open world game with guy who sucks until he crafts a spear" is Unreal World world which has been in development since 1992.

I don't recall the game having that much dialog but "janky rear end battler 2d caveman" is about right.

Also a game I had on a PSX demo disc way back when, I remember it had garbage voice acting and gameplay mostly consisted of sticking bombs to things, including the legs of some spider-like boss. Top-down ish? I wish I could remember more.
