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…
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.
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.
A round based strategy game with a hex based grid I think there where generic military units like warships u boots pioneers infantry trucks helicopter destroyers. It had a very rudementry 8 bit graphic and it is not Panther panic
If the game wasn’t on DOS or Windows, the choice is smaller, but alas I don’t see a list on Wikipedia with platforms. MobyGames might have it. Alternatively, I had a script somewhere that pulled the platform and other info from all pages in a category, but not sure currently where it is.
They got frakin’ hard! Especially the mechanics of the trains and when the baddies started shooting further. Tracking where the action was got tough when you had to split the team.
Yeah I had figure I out a strategy using the persuedatron, where it would get stronger the more people you persueded. If you started with civilians and got a bunch, you could then do security guards, then the police, then other syndicate agents. I still think this is the only way to beat that final level, but there are nothing but agents on that level.
It’s been more than a decade since I’ve played a shooter with a controller, so idk how much of a difference this makes.
When you need to make small horizontal adjustments to your aim, try strafing instead; when that isn’t possible, and if you’re using some low-ROF semi-auto weapon, swing your reticle around the enemy, turning a matter of precision into a matter of timing.
Yeah, quite often the games themselves have needed broad changes to account for how people tend to shoot on controllers.
For instance, PC games will typically penalize your accuracy or sway the scope if you strafe around, which is terrible for controller players as you describe. Other times, the “aim down sights” action became very standard in a world of gun-at-corner hipfiring, because it lets them snap aim onto enemies for at least the first shot.
I have one of these! My memory is pretty hazy but he’s everything I remember about it: I played it in about 2003-04, pc rom game, point and click style where you were either trying to help find a series of items in a house or solve a mystery in a house? This was a kids game with a lot of shades of light blue if I remember correctly… Not a scary game, was in the first person, and I don’t remember being in a team of other characters. I remember renting it from my local library a hefty number of times.
