I knew there was a good reason I spent so much time in the 90s playing educational games intended for much younger players.

I'm looking for a game for Windows that I would have played around 2000 or so. It used a top-down perspective, but played mostly like an adventure game with lots of dialogue, inventory object puzzles, etc. I remember the graphics being somewhat crude with a small number of colors. I think it was freeware but it could have been warez, I got it on a CD-R with a bunch of other junk for $1 at a dodgy convenience store. One of the conversations near the start of the game goes something like: "Hmm..." "Hmm?" "Hmm." "Hmmburger?" "With cheese." I think that the title is something similar to "Crime Wave" but all that finds is stuff about the older DOS game with that title.

I looked at walkthroughs for Cult and Cult II and none of the plot points seem familiar, but that's exactly the art style I remember. I'm not sure if I'm getting elements of a different game mixed up with it or maybe some of the same devs worked on a different game. Thanks for the lead!

Looking for an FMV game, it would be a pretty early one from when FMV games first started being a thing. The opening credits sequence had a woman in business attire walking through a city, and periodically she'd stop to bend over and rip a strip of flesh from her foot/ankle and eat it. I don't think it was a horror game, just weird as hell for the sake of being weird.

ErrEff posted:I looked but couldn't find anything fitting this description. Anything else you can remember to help place this (other games from same era, boxart visuals, more game details, etc.)? I don't remember much else, I was pretty young when I played it at a friend's house and never saw the box. There was no real user interface and barely any gameplay, just a multiple choice thing in the vein of Plumbers Don't Wear Ties. That weirdass intro is the only thing I really remember from it, because it was just so fuckin' weird.

Azza Bamboo posted:Another was for pc in that 3D but it's actually 2D style. You go through a maze in a hovering vehicle. The view is from inside the cockpit and there's a red and blue hovering vehicle who compete in some way I can't remember. This might be Hover!

Beaten, but I'll add that it had an amazing box. A 3D "mask" in the front of the cover art, so that the eyes would seem to follow you.

Shady Amish Terror posted:...and looking it up, it got re-released on...Steam??? Wild. If you want to play it, the whole series was declared freeware by the publisher many years ago. Searching for "tombfree.zip" will find it. It's really not that bad as far as early 90s PC platformers go.

The reason that game was so fresh in my mind is that six months ago a did a complete flatten + reinstall on my PC and before I installed Windows 10 I decided to try installing DOS to see what would happen and it worked for some reason. So I played through Pharaoh's Tomb and Paganitzu.

You can still pay money for Scorched Earth: http://www.whicken.com/scorch/ You know, to put in your display case next to your registration e-mails for mIRC and WinRAR after you drunkenly buy all three in one night.

Fury 3 is Terminal Velocity but ported to Windows and with things changed around just enough for it to be considered a new game so that Microsoft could publish it. Hellbender is a sequel to Fury 3.

Fun fact: media at the time unironically praising NARC for its "anti-drug message" made Eugene Jarvis consider not designing games anymore.

Maybe this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BdYTt3fWsMs There was a lot of stuff like that, but I remember that one showing up more than once on the 90s shovelware CD-ROMs I got as a kid where 40% of it was outright warez.

Too big to be downloadable for its time, but maybe one of the Hot Wheels Stunt Track Driver games. They included demo discs of it with some of the toys back in the 90s.

I may be wildly misremembering things, but I think that the old Chuck Yeager games eventually got re-released under different titles. https://www.mobygames.com/game/c64/chuck-yeagers-advanced-flight-simulator

If it's not CotW, the demo of Mordor was on tons of shareware CDs.

Has he looked through the SSI RPGs? A few of those could fit, like Pool of Radiance, but the games tend to look pretty samey. https://www.mobygames.com/browse/games/c64/strategic-simulations-inc/role-playing-rpg/

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?

Mid-90s. My memories are probably just clouded by it being the 90s.

There are slightly newer versions if you pull up the Moraff site from a few years ago in the Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/20110103205447/http://www.softwarediversions.com/catalog/free_downloads.php Believe it or not the company is still around, but only doing mahjong stuff now.

This should be an easy one, I'm just blanking on the title. Early 90s, DOS, platformer with a squirrel, and it's total poo poo.

If Haystack's ends up not being Monuments of Mars, I will poo poo. It came out in 1991 and every aspect fits. I watched a playthrough to make sure and it even has the annoying barrel pushing puzzle. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0-Dl5ZXhFE&t=979s Dip Viscous fucked around with this message at 16:24 on Sep 8, 2021 |

If it's a made-up-for-TV fake game, it really looks like they were trying to imitate Syphon Filter: The Omega Strain.
