that was my thought but treasure mountain wasn't a medieval setting. i think there were various games in that edutainment series, though, with different settings but the same basic idea, and they probably all did the same thing, so you might have luck just searching the dev's catalogue on wikipedia and then going to hotu or one of the other various abandonware archives to confirm the screenshots

Like White Dragon said it may be another game in the series. It's called the Super Solvers/Super Seekers series and they're all made by The Learning Company.

I asked about this game a while back, maybe I'll have more luck this time. It was a derivative of Chaos: The Battle of Wizards; the map was bigger and there were trees, some of which were "mirkwood" trees that would sometimes eat creatures standing next to them. The graphics were a little higher res and the color palette was a lot of washed out green and brown. It had the same top down map and side on character look. I played a shareware version that limited you to maybe a quarter of your spells each game and you could only cast each spell once. It was a late dos or early Windows title, probably the latter.

Here's a link to (apparently) a working version: http://web.archive.org/web/19961228231955/http://www.gamesmania.com/english/common/demos/arena21.zip The manual is arena.txt and it mentions the Mirkwood trees you described. EDIT: Plus the manual describes it as a remake of a C64 game of the same name, which I found a video of and is definitely a Chaos clone: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XlEvvS9axlc Pablo Nergigante fucked around with this message at 20:15 on Jan 4, 2018 |

I remember reading about a game (I've never seen it) on the PC, not too long ago. It was incredibly depressing, I think it was set in some weird possibly Russian town where... Something bad? Is happening over a series of days, and you have a certain amount of time to figure it out? Somewhere I the town is a giant giant weird temple that's got basically nothing going on in it, I think it looked alien? That's so little to go off, sorry. But there was something about the game made it fascinating to read about, like it was one of those cursed arg games but real, in some way?

Can someone remind me of what the hell that web game that GBS used to play like a decade ago was? You were given a bunch of words in like fridge magnet form and the goal was to assemble them into sentences/responses to questions each round, and then people voted for their favourite. It's driving me nuts, tia

Does anyone remember an arcade game from the 90s (although it was probably ported to other platforms, I'm not sure) where you played as a character (I want to say a Duke Nukem type) navigating a maze, collecting items and fighting giant insects or something? The game looked sort of like a FPS, where the bottom left 1/4th of the screen was a 3d visual of what your character saw (enemy, whatever). In the top right of the screen was a map or some sort of top-down view for navigation, and there was an inventory and such. I don't remember anything else about the game except the interface was blue

Those screenshots suddenly reminded me of an early 90's Amiga/ST dungeon crawler in a similar style to Dungeon Master/Eye of the Beholder but sci-fi and you played robots I think? I never played it just saw shots in a magazine, anyone know what I'm thinking of?

Had a demo on the family Macintosh when I was a kid, a game where you played Hannibal going to Rome. You could trek through Spain and cross the Alps like in real life, or float there on boats. Always cut off when you reached the Italian peninsula. Don't suppose anyone knows it.

I played this at a friend's house a while back. It's PS2 game. It has a multiplayer mode that has an overhead/isometric camera with everybody on the same screen. I think one of the maps had a switch on the wall that shocked a large region of the floor. I thought it was a James Bond game, but I'm not finding anything in searches so maybe not.

Ok I've got a doozy for you for I only have fragmented images in my memory. It's real hazy, might even have been a dream. I think it was a DOS game where you could choose between different biomes where you would then select an animal and try to survive by hunting for your food source while trying to avoid larger predators, like say a fox or a snake. Or least I think that's what you were supposed to be doing.

Does anyone remember the name of a Playstation 1 game set in a cyberpunk future. I think it was an Action RPG but I cant remember for sure. The only other clues I can give is that I played it about 18-20 years ago, and it had a long rear end bar conversation scene near the beginning, which at the time was the longest cutscene I’ve ever played in a game and that the game had a Japanese version. I think it might have been a Japanese developed game, but I cant be 100% sure.

Is it any of the Snowblind Engine games like Champions of Norrath or Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance? There were a ton of other rip off games like Hunter the Reckoning, Brotherhood of Steel, and even a Buffy the Vampire Slayer game. Maybe even one of the X-Men or Marvel games.

Okay, I got one. A PSX game where you play as an agent or something but the game keeps track on how much damage you do (cost value) at the top of the screen. I remember being able to shoot out lights.
