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

Septerra core legacy of the creator, a pc turn based rpg i got in the early 2000s in some multi game pack at walmart or something. took forever for me to find it using the early internet. Its a unique title, but highly forgettable.

FuyuhikoDate,

Still on my list of games I wanna finish

I remember the sound effects and one level… but not the name. Classic.

FuyuhikoDate,

And not the gameplay or the system?

Have you tried gyro?

Joystick only is bad, and a lot of console shooters relied on auto aim. Stick + Gyro is almost as good as Mouse, I had a blast playing Borderlands 4 on Steam Deck, even going for headshots is consistent.

I only need M+K for TF2 or Terraria, since I actually want really precise control there, but Solarknight has a whole video praising gyro and giving tips for TF2.

It kind of makes me wish we got some sort of “Dungeon Master” tools to make our own campaigns, but then again, at that point just run D&D with some friends i suppose.

There is a DM mode in BG3! www.ign.com/wikis/baldurs-gate-3/Custom_Mode

snooggums,

That isn’t DM mode, it is a very nice set of customization optimizations.

In Neverwinter Nights there was a DM mode that let one player be the DM instead of one of the characters. They could drop in creatures and objects and control them in real time, which was awesome! That is what I was hoping they would be adding, something where we could basically play DnD in the world maps of BG3, but with on the fly encounters and pacing instead of being preset.

yermaw,

I want this dynamic, in VR. Players with headsets on while a DM makes the world on the PC.

We can live how Knightmare looked like it felt

TacoEvent,

Ah that sucks. :(

aviator game in india is hands-down my favorite online game! The little plane taking off and climbing higher creates such thrilling suspense every round. I love deciding the perfect moment to cash out as the multiplier rises. Smooth animations, vibrant colors, and upbeat sounds make it super immersive. Quick rounds keep the excitement flowing – I play it daily for that pure adrenaline rush!

I've been playing the single player for the first time, the past month. it sure is a vibe!

Installed a whole slew of mods, too... I like adding mods to every game I play.

There're surprisingly few nudity mods for this game... Or so they tell me. 😇

Unturned was where i spent so many of my hours growing up just because all the small maps ran okayish on my shitty laptop

supersquirrel, (edited )

Unturned is still in development too which is pretty cool, I think it occupies a unique niche and is underrated for sure.

MyNameIsAtticus,
@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

My only complaint is that (at least last time i checked) for version 3, there’s no option for multiplayer that isn’t a dedicated server or LAN, which sucks when you want to play with friends

weissbinder,

Mindustry is great and will keep you occupied for a long time

supersquirrel,

Truly a massive game that gets overshadowed by people talking about Factorio, which Factorio is of course a classic undoubtedly but Mindustry has been in pretty consistent development for years now and is a great game with a lot of good content, it deserves more attention!

I just wish the game was better set up for joysticks/gamepad control out of the box, last time I tried to set it up on my Steam Deck I got frustrated.

Also Mindustry is on Android too!

Poopfeast420, do gaming w Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of November December 21st

Putting a lot of time into Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. I’m deep in Act 2, probably close to the end.

Since I cleared a bunch of areas that I wasn’t supposed to yet, thanks to the parry that makes you invincible, I’m massively overleveled. I don’t mind this kinda stuff though, even like it in RPGs like this, so it’s not a big deal, that story bosses die in like three turns or something at this point.

george,

I’m mildly interested in this game, but the immense praise it received makes me weirdly wary of it. Is it actually THAT good? I’m a bit concerned that it won’t live up to my expectations.

Poopfeast420, (edited )

Depends, as is the case with all games.

I think it’s very good, but not the second coming of Christ as many people made it out to be.

It’s a better Final Fantasy game, and I think the story is much more interesting. However, if you’re looking for something like BG3 with the freedom, size or character interaction, this is not the game.

Worse when it’s a flash game, as I understand they’re all dead now.

I just want to play the unknown snowboarding game with all the little hills to jump on again. Well that and the ever classic Kitten Cannon.

popcar2,

You can still play every flash game ever through the Flashpoint Archive

ArcaneSlime,

Dude awesome thanks! Looks like running it on linux is a whole thing but doable, now I just neef to find out what the game was.

patyk,

Try describing it to AI. From my experience, AI chats are pretty good in finding games, movies etc based on poor description, just ask for short list of game names so it will not write you essay about how old games are better. You can also describe it here

SlurpingPus,

But be ready for disappointment, because at least ChatGPT is bad with obscure media, and even makes stuff up regularly.

SlurpingPus,

Try r/tipofmyjoystick on Reddit. This is one case where a larger audience definitely helps.

mlg,
@mlg@lemmy.world avatar

Gonna try this but one of the games I really liked was actually delisted from popular flash sites back in the day and I forgot the name because it was a fictional fantasy single word title.

Lost it long before flash died, and I can only assume it was because the creator had requested a takedown which is really weird.

the16bitgamer,
@the16bitgamer@programming.dev avatar

There’s a few I remember which aren’t on here. Nicktrolpolis is one of them. But it’s consider all the other obscure games which did get preserved it’s amazing.

IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds,

this, there was a flash game where you are an evil genius. you have a base which you can later upgrade to a volcano or a moon base. you send agents to kidnap politicians or other villanous schemes. there were segments where your base was attacked and you had to use your resources to defend it.

overall an amazing game. never found it again :(

BreakerSwitch,

I’ll have to check the details but, could that be Mastermind: World Conqueror? It’s still on newgrounds

IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds,

YOU FOUND IT!!! THANKS, SO MUCH

tried search engines, tried AI, and nothing worked. but you did, you proven yourself better than the trillion AI investments.

Flash is actually coming back to life via WebAssembly of all things.

SlurpingPus,

Emulating Flash in HTML tech wasn’t a problem for a long time already, but from what I can tell there are no tools for creating such animation that could rival Flash’s popularity from back in the day. People are probably just using dedicated game engines that can target browsers.

boonhet,

No you can literally run Flash games on your browser again, thanks to ruffle.rs

runner_g,

a few months ago on a nostalgia trip I found a playable kitten cannon, I don’t remember where. I think I was looking up new grounds or addicting games and found the website through a Wikipedia link.

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

I still dont know the name of a c64 game i played a lot as a kid. You had to move some kind of flying submarine through a maze and if you touch the wall you die. The first few screens you had to fly downwards.

ZeroGravitas,

Is it Snare by any chance?

polle,

Sadly not :(

polle,

After a long search i remembered that it also could be some game of a magazine disk, then i though it also could be also some obscure german one and looked through an big list of german c64 games and there i found it. Its called Mission Transmiter! It seems to be a really obscure one, no wonder nobody knows that one.

This sounds familiar, but I can’t find anything about it online! The controls were mostly just up and down, right?

polle,

It started going downwards, but then also going left and right. It was some kind of maze. When iam back at my parents iam going to look for the disk boxes.

Glad you found it! Unfortunately for me, it doesn’t look like the game I remember playing. That one was more of a submarine shape with sideways movement. Maybe with monochrome graphics?

I’m going to have to ask my parents what they remember from those days. All my searches are coming up empty.

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

Old school runescape free to play isnt not worth it. You WILL get addicted and end up paying $100s of dollars a year to waste your life. Try TF2

@e8d79@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

There was a fantasy point and click adventure on the school PCs about two lost goblin or gnome children. I think it was some sort of learning game released during the 90s. The only things that I clearly remember are a mini game about getting red and yellow llamas across a bridge with a passing point, and a labyrinth where you had to solve riddles. Never figured out what it was.

@e8d79@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

Yes those are too old. I think it must have been something released near 1998. The game I remember was in a cartoon style and not as pixelated. It might have been something only released in German as well.
