croc was so whimsical and fun

Soggy,

I prefer the first one but I love the little WAPOW boy either way.

Ashiette,

Both of these games were awesome. I used to play the first one from the beginning every week with my childhood best friend because either we didn’t have a memory card or the game did not accept saves.

Not smooth but Guild Wars 2 can run on those specs, obviously on very low settings.
Path of Exile should work also. These specs af not that bad. Most 10+ year old games should run easily. I would just check steam for older F2P games, there are a lot more. I think swtor and eso should run also. Those had F2P tiers.

rumschlumpel, do games w What free to play games can run smoothly on my old laptop?

Try incremental games like Cookie Clicker.

I would take a look at Warframe.

For me it was a game that used to be on Adult Swim’s website, it was a top-down open world pizza delivery game in the style of the first two Grand Theft Auto games. You had to deliver pizzas to some funny characters without crashing and damaging them or running over too many pedestrians and getting caught by the police. With the exception of mimes and guys in hot dog costumes which gave you bonus points, of course. You’d get fired if you got caught by the police too many times or wreck too many pizzas.

Ended up finally finding it last year, it’s called Pizza City. It’s no longer on Adult Swim, but has thankfully been preserved on other sites like Kongregate and archive.org. Still holds up to this day as a fun game!

It was zool and commander keen for me. Hard to describe and find the answer on Google for odd candy mountain game and game with trees with weird ass eyes. Anyways, found it eventually lol

mech, (edited ) do gaming w For me, it was Microsoft Ants

I remember a top down game from the late '80s or very early '90s where you drive a car along a highway and try to defend yourself against other cars using different weapons and tire-slashing spikes mounted to your wheels.
You’d start inside a semi-truck, drive out of it backwards, and at the end of the level, the truck would re-appear and you have to drive into it again.

SlurpingPus,

‘Spy Hunter’? It was on a whole bunch of platforms.

mech,

YES, that’s it!

SlurpingPus, (edited )

Yeah this one was easy. I even forgot about the trucks (probably because they weren’t there in ‘Super Spy Hunter’, which started as a clone before having been released as a sequel).

SlurpingPus,

Btw, there were sequels ‘SpyHunter’ in 2001 and then ‘SpyHunter 2’, for PS2/Gamecube/Xbox and desktops — though not with the top-down view.

And there’s the 2012 ‘Spy Hunter’ for PS Vita and 3DS. Apparently also with the view from behind, and this time with poor reviews.

coaxil,

Major motion?

LolcatXTREME, do games w Sometimes devs intentionally punish players for struggling with the game

That’s super based of them actually. A game for everyone is a game for no one as they say. Difficulty options if it makes sense and the game is designed around it, sure. But if a game is designed to be played a certain way and you bypass it you’re ignoring a purposely designed experience the developers made for you, and I think it’s fine to force people on to a level playing field.

flamiera, do games w Sometimes devs intentionally punish players for struggling with the game

I know there's very few, be it rare, games where developers seemingly hate those who play it.

But you're not understanding that maybe that there are some games that aren't for you. It sometimes is a sucky feeling, when games seemingly look like you'd have a blast playing them, until you try them and feel the opposite. I wouldn't really say any of the struggles I've had in games I played in this example, that I felt like the developers were intentionally punishing me. More like my expectations, standards and idea of fun collides with what that game already established in its own values.

Like I hate games where anything kills you in one hit, that is bullshit, give me a health bar or multiple chances of being hit. I prefer more games that have at least healthbars.

Lembot_0006,

I am not talking about the game design. I am talking about situations when developers purposefully check if the player cheats or makes something strange and then developers intentionally make things worse.

flamiera,

Yes you are talking about game design.

You just said developers check if the player cheats or makes something "strange" then react to it. By game design, they don't want you cheating in their game.

So you either deal with it or don't.

Lembot_0006,

Facepalm

flamiera,

Yeah I know, I did the same thing when you first replied to me too.

This is me with SHMUPS. Oh, sure, I can find databases of the ones that were popular, but in the early to late 2000s there were so many PC SHMUPS with mouse controls that came on demo CDs or you could get from the front page of any demo shareware website…

Now all forgotten.

Some of them I used to play a lot and want to play again, but can’t for the life of me find back.

SlurpingPus,

You could try r/tipofmyjoystick on Reddit, describing the game as much as you can remember. 2000s wasn’t even really the peak of the genre popularity.

I had to try and find it for the sake of this meme! I thought it was a PS1 game all these years, just found it.

Buck Bumble. An N64 game I played when I was a kid, flew around as a bee and shot down other bugs. Its was a good time, glad I was inspired to try and find it’s name again!

Odo,

I love that game’s title music.

faltryka,

Me too man, it’s stuck in my head now!
