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.
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).
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.
Fiddling with the script engine can lead to unexpected results.
I am a programmer myself and have an overall understanding of what can happen unintentionally. I don’t see how adding a few medkits in the inventory could lead to the boss to jump over the puddles :)
I stopped playing Resident Evil 7 because I’d decided that the setting that I was on was too difficult and wanted to knock it down a level. It wouldn’t let me do that without restarting the game so I stopped playing.
I don’t understand why they made that decision at all.
3d third person shooter with a female protagonist. Late 90 or early 2000s. Think something like Tomb Raider, but I am pretty sure it was not Tomb Raider. I don’t remember much, aside from the tutorial level being in some kind of Portal chamber / Aperture Science like sterile tiled floor and walls with various lights. If I remember correctly, the first real level was in an old big multi store warehouse or club house.
After having looked for this game for two decades and asked here, I realized perhaps I should ask ChatGPT. I gave it the same description and it came up with Oni (2001). And I am pretty sure that’s it!
I’m still looking for a mobile game where I played as a necromancer in a castle fighting off the stickman armies of king Otto through spells and by flicking them into the air. It culminated with the necromancer standing upon a pile of corpses topped by the king himself. I really liked that game but it honestly could be lost media.
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.
Judging by the CRT monitor at 18 and the LCD at 23, I assume OP is around 40 now. Maybe they just omitted the ~17 years worth of panels where they got out of the house and did something else.
well over if they had a trubo button at ten. I would estimate upper forties like 47 but could be a bit younger. Under 45 and they were using some old stuff which would be wierd since that game system at 5 does not look atari. looks like an snes which would then make them 30 or so. I feel like lcd was gaining traction late oughts though which goes back to about 40.
Pretty sure that’s an NES - look closely at the controller, it’s got the 2 red buttons which were pretty iconic. That’d suggest they were 5 between about 1985 and 1990, which suggests they’re 40-45 now.
Old computer game, never have been able to remember the name. It was a sci-fi setting. I distinctly remember taking a ship of some sort and attacking multiple-legged walkers. I don’t think it was a Star Wars game. You didn’t just control the aerial vehicles as there were also grounds vehicles. You could change out weapons on the vehicle before the mission. There’s a line that has stuck with me though: “You’re replaceable, the (ship thing) isn’t”. I remember it coming in a PC game subscription service from the mid 90’s. I think the service was called SOMC or something along those lines. It’s where I also learned of SWARM and 7 Kingdoms. I still have yet to this day been able to find that sci-fi game, or even the subscription service (or evidence of its existence) again.
There was this game I swear was called Solaris but was not able to find. The whole thing is a model of a star system with a couple dozens of oddly-named planets and you need to “shoot units” at the planets you want to conquer. You basically have to estimate how many units you need to take it over or something.
I’ll probably never be able to find it cause I can’t even describe it so well haha
