I don't know if I'm getting the name right, but is this Crystallex?

I honestly miss this game and want to play it again but haven't found it. I'll provide a screenie later!

It's definitely not Captain Forever because there's no heart in the ship, so I figured it was the Japanese game from the early 2000's Captain Forever was inspired by. While trying to google whatever that was called, I found the actual game: it's Reassembly. I'm definitely up for more Cpt. Forever type games so thank you, I think? Thank me? Thanks obscure 20 year old Japanese games.

You are correct, but since you mention it, here a bonus one:

Warning Forever, got by Mordja


There should be more games like these.

Hahah, thanks. I feel like a sad dickless nerd knowing so much about weird video games--knowledge that is ostensibly useless and dumb--so it makes me feel better to see other people knowing just as much or more. Or maybe I'm just glad to see small developers getting some recognition? I don't know, I can't unpack or untangle these feelings.

The second one is clearly some StarCraft knockoff. I'd say KKND but I don't think it had an alien race like that.

I'm stumped on what KKND could be. :v:


This one was insanely obscure.

lost fragment - Standstill Girl, a freeware RPGmaker 2000 game made by Japanese indie dev skyscraper project

The music is really nice, worth listening to on youtube.

This is a minigame from one of those goon-made RPGMaker games from the late aughts, right? I'm pretty sure it's Last Scenario.
