Prancingpotato, do gaming w For me, it was Microsoft Ants

I got two im thinking of : One I am sure I can recover but hey, let’s shoot for some engagement here, it was a sort of worms like but with pigs, were you could promote units to archetypes The second one I couldn’t find on my searches, it was a PS1 game (I think) in which you constructed your Mecha for battle royale rounds, and you could buy parts or change chassis. I remember an arena on a sort of battleship or structure in the sea, but I was unable to retrieve the name of this game.

purplemonkeymad,

For the first it wasn’t hogs of war was it? Never played it but do remember it being in a few mags.

Prancingpotato,

It was definitely this one ! I remember playing it at a friend’s house and having a blast

That’s me and this robot-like C64 game. You did levels and took over robots so you could take over stronger robots.

I do remember Seven Cities of Gold, but only because the game crashed so often I saw the loading screen more than the game itself

SavinDWhales,

I played that. Paradroid, right?

A puzzle game where each (2D) map spawns with lasers and corresponding targets, and sometimes mirrors etc. You get to place some mirrors, T pieces, beam splitters etc. and have to fulfill each target.

There are so many clones of this out now it’s nigh impossible to find, especially as the game is literally just called Laser. This one’s also a clone I think but I just love this particular one.

I did recently finally find it again after more than a decade of looking.

Technically, every game is free as long as you know where to find it.

And any game made before 2010 is likely to run perfectly on these specs.

I got you fam, it’s called NewZealand Story. myabandonware.com/…/the-new-zealand-story-679

It’s… an old game. Maybe it ran on DOS, but it sure was Windows 95 era.

It was a game for kids where you had to spell words. It took place in Africa I believe, because I remember vividly that there were hippos. You had to solve puzzles before spelling words.

I might be misremembering the following : you played as a boy with a loincloth. When you succeeded in solving a puzzle he rowed upstream on a raft. I think I remember a man with a mask, might have been the kid himself.

That’s about everything I remember about this. If someone knows anything…

kindred,

Sounds like Spelling Jungle. I remember that game had the dumbest ending - something about leaving the hose faucet on.

Edit: it was a faucet

Ashiette,

Of that was it, thanks !

I’m looking for the name of the 3D racing game my classmates used to play on the school club PC. It came out in the 2000s and ran natively on Windows. The first track in the career mode (as far as we ever got) was dirt and inside an nighttime arena. There were crowds and even some onlookers behind barricade blocks around the track. I don’t think the cars could be damaged, and there were intended jumps over lower tracks sections, that could be enjoyed by driving from below to jump really high. Several views were available including one with a rear-view mirror, and a “blimp” aerial view in replay mode. It looked a lot like the nighttime arena tracks in ATV Offroad Fury (pictured) but with closed-cab vehicles.

You are correct! Thank you!

How did you find that?

I still play Dawn of war and new Vegas on a cheap 2 in 1 tablet with an intel atom

Yep, I have one of those. A side-scrolling scifi shooter for C64 from probably late 80s that I just remember a general vibe about. Not Nemesis, something where you fly above a sort of city. I have tried to remember its name for more than a decade probably.

One would think that there weren’t that many of them but oh boy.

Dominion?

vga,

I haven’t heard of that one, but no, wasn’t that.

Also tried figuring this out with an AI but nope. I’m pretty sure I’m not hallucinating this game.

gorkur,

Can’t really tell from that description but have you tried to look for it on Lemon? 🙂

www.lemon64.com/games/list.php?list_year=1985&lis…

vga,

I have.

In fact, once I browsed through all the games in there and didn’t find what I was looking for. It’s so far ago and I was so young that I probably have a very distorted and overly positive view of what the game looked like.

There’s a game on the school computers in the late 90s where you choose between 3 numbers for how far you move, you are racing to the bottom of the screen, and some shortcut squares let you drop down.

There was this side scrolling space themed bullet hell adjacent game they had on the computers when I was in elementary school.

webp,

There was this one with math equations that would fall to the bottom and you had to solve them quickly

nandeEbisu,

This had 0 educational value except for levels being named after metals. That’s where I learned what Tungsten was.
