That’s definitely what I was trying to think of when I bumped into Kameo! I hope that’s it.

Close but I'm pretty sure it's Captain Comic for NES, or Manhole for the FM Towns.

I've got one for the thread: It's an early-ish PSX game, from before '97-'98 or so. It's a strategy game with a fantasy setting. Not an SRPG though, more like Ogre Battle or Dragon Force IIRC, where your units wander around on the map and then enter a separate screen for combat. It was almost certainly real time. I can't remember if there was any sort of base building component to it, but I think you played as the leader of a mercenary company. Mostly, I remember whenever your units got caught in a surprise attack, they shouted "AMBUSH!"in extremely hammy VA.

It wasn't great, but I was compensated with tons of pizza and some PC games. There's some very silly bonus dialogue during the ending credits.

I remember getting a demo of a game called "Speaker for the Dead" on the coverrdisc of a magazine. It had no relation to the novel by Orson Scott Card. It had an isometric viewpoint and kind of looked like poo poo even for the time and was a turn based strategy game where everyone moved on tiles. Did it ever get released? Did I dream all of it?

There's a side-scrolling adventure game I vaguely remember from the early 90's, with static screens that had puzzles or things to manipulate similar to how Prince of Persia was laid out. I feel like it was set on a tropical island. You'd come across a gap that needed to be bridged and you'd come back later once you knocked a tree over or something, or you'd be a screen or two above an area and break something/drop it down to cause a path to open or defeat something. I remember there being jail cells that characters were in or something, looked to be made out of wood? Your character was short and chubby almost like Kirby I think. I'm fairly sure it was for NES or maybe very early SNES? I guess it could be early Genesis even maybe. Not a lot to go on, I know, I've been pouring through lists of NES and SNES games but have been coming up blank.

Pablo Nergigante posted:One of the Dizzy games? I had a thorough look through that series and I don't think that's it. I remember the screens being static like individual puzzles, you'd walk off the left of the screen to change to an adjacent screen, in some sort of interconnected island or forest. I got excited for a minute because I thought I recognized the main character. b_d posted:unlikely, but possibly Mutant Beach? I don't recognize either one of those, I think graphically it was worse than these two and a bit clunkier.

Treasure Island Dizzy has the static flip screen thing, but it was released on a weird unlicensed cart with three other games. Check it out anyway

I don't remember the upper part of the screen with your score and inventory but it was also 25+ years ago as well.

Okay, I'm looking for a not-too-old puzzle game, block-pushing and derivatives.Pretty sure it was free? It had a number of 'twists' in it where you learn the rules of the game, then eventually find out they were not at all what you thought they were, the first of such being that the weird seemingly external blocks on the map were actually set up to allow you to remote control your icon, and 'you' were actually one of the external blocks surrounded by trigger blocks. Any ideas?

It's almost done! But no, it's not Baba. At least five years old, and I believe it has flat neon colors a lot? With a black background?

I remember a Breakout like game from a Shareware assortment for Windows 95 but I played it in the Windows 98 era. I think it had Ultra in the title and is was very multi-colored, both the bricks and the background. It had primitive voice acting in telling you how many balls you had left, and it went "one balls remaining". The developer also put out "Mahjong, Spherejong and Ringjong on the Jong CD!" as I remember from the ad you got when you quit.

The only breakout-style game I remember that was floating around the shareware circles was DX-Ball/DX-Ball 2, but I don't remember voice acting, so that's unlikely to be it.
