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.
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.
Racing game, late DOS, possibly early Windows. Three “eras” of American cars. There might have been loops. Cockpit-view only I believe. Possibly some sort of jet/boost.
I did this just yesterday, trying to find an ASCII Dracula game. Played it on a friend’s PC-like in the late 80s. I remember you controlled all the characters but could lose Mina and others during the game depending on your choices.
Remember going to the asylum to chat to Renfield to find clues to where Dracula was hiding
Try clicking through Category:Video games based on Dracula to see if any are in the approximately correct era and platform, and if the description rings the bell.
It took me FOREVER to find, but I was determined to find my old games. I assumed they were Sega Master System games, so I started watching videos like “best master system games” and such.
Then when I finally came across them, the memories all came rushing back like it was the 80s again! It’s so frustrating but when you finally find it, it’s such a good feeling.
For me it was Ignition, a top-down racing game where you could play as a police car, a school bus, an ambulance, a yellow car or a blue beetle car.
There was also another racing game I don’t remember the name of and likely never will, because it was a game that came on a blue floppy disk and actually was a 3D racing game, and all I remember is that it was a demo for a game that had you doing street races and it wasn’t open-world, it was with proper tracks and it was a level at sunset in a city, with no traffic. As far as I can tell, it shouldn’t really have been possible to have a fully 3D game on a floppy disk, but I guess since the game was just a demo, it could be squeezed down.
Ignition is one of the best in the top-down genre and arcade racing games overall, the mechanics work really well.
As for the other game: ‘Virtua Racer’ was released on Mega Drive (aka Genesis), and even Gameboy had some pure-3d racing games, though looking like crap. So it would definitely be possible to fit a 3d game on a floppy. However, I’m not so familiar with street racing games: you could try searching for a ‘DOS racing games’ compilation video on YouTube, if you played it in DOS.
In my high school, someone actually stripped down Quake 1 to have a handful of character models and iirc six multiplayer levels — so that the game fit on a floppy. This was copied and given out to people, and whenever the sysadmins removed the game from the class machines, it quickly found its way back again.
For the engagement. I could literally google this or ask any of the half dozen AI search agents I have access to and likely get an immediate answer. I don’t really care one way or the other.
But having said that…
Back in the day of the original Playstation, circa mid to late 1990s, there was a really intriguing robot battle game where you essentially implemented a visual program to run your battle robot then let it loose in a “3D” arena to run its course with the program you designed. You literally had no direct control over the real time action IIRC, the game was won or lost on how well you programmed your bot to fight.
The actual game was probably pretty shit by modern standards, but for the time it was unique and good enough to be intriguing. It was certainly not the kind of game that would have wide support, then or now. A bit nerdy, definitely complicated for the era.
My stupid fucked up brain remembers it as Armored Core, but that’s definitely not the name of the game or even the right genre. I’ll literally forget any correct response and likely end up asking this same question again in 10 years, so don’t feel compelled to answer. Not like I’m going to fire it up again any time soon. My PS was stolen more than 2 decades ago and I’m pretty sure it was a game I rented a half dozen times but never owned anyway.
Oh shit I remember playing this, it was more like a sim with tanks, right? I remember cheesing it by constantly driving in a circle and shooting enemies when the barrel aligned with them.
ChatGPT was really hit-and-miss for me in this regard, and really more miss. Idk about other LLMs.
Instead, in this case I’d rather find the category for such games on Wikipedia, which seems to be Programming games, then click through the games to see which of them are on PS1 (or use a script I have for pulling such data from a category), then look at YouTube clips of the gameplay.
We had a fighting game on NES. Japanese game, and we didn’t even speak English (okay, maybe a few words), let alone Japanese.
There was literally nothing to quote in my search, apart from just using descriptions. It was frustrating, because otherwise it was one of the best NES games I have played.
Years later I somehow ran into it. It was something like Nekketsu Kakutou Densetsu.
Technōs had a whole line of sports games in this ‘super deformed’ style and with outlandish mechanics, as offshoots of the ‘Kunio-kun’ series. The games I know are lots of unadulterated fun.
I can’t remember if it was C-64 or DOS, but there was a sidescroll game where your character was on a quest in a forest where there were tree houses. They were called the “Grund” or something. Can’t find it anywhere.
Edit: I may have found it: “Below The Root” Gotta see if I can find it abandonware somewhere and try it again.
Brave Fencer Musashi for me. Played that game so many times through what I remember as the first boss, then didn’t figure out how to progress when the world opened up
