I know it’s name: End of the World, part 2. Was a Wolf RPG Editor game someone made and released for free.

Cant seem to find it anywhere.

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

Soggy,

It’s so good! BFM is a top 5 PS1 game for me, easily.

Ok maybe Lemmy can help me. Does anyone remember a cartoon that used a key. A magic key. To draw a door and open to a new dimension? I have been looking for this show for decades and I can’t remember it. It had like care bare characters and children.

AngryPancake,

I only know Pans Labyrinth but it’s certainly not a comic

PissingIntoTheWind,

Nah. Think lte 80’s and early 90’s. I wonder if I dreamed this shit up.

ZoopZeZoop,

I remember that in Beetlejuice, and there was a cartoon version of that.

Ashiette,

Final Fantasy Unlimited ?

burntbacon,

A magic key to draw a door? It’s not the kid with the purple crayon cartoon?

PissingIntoTheWind,

No. Much older. Like lat 80’s early 90’s. I remember a friendly funny dragon with the characters.

This is a weird one. I’ve been looking for a game for years and I’ve had no luck. My uncle took me on one of his drug deals, as he did very often and I played someone’s ps1 or ps2 while they got high. All I know about this RPG/JRPG I played is there were summons and I can vividly remember the 2d world map. There was a mine/tunnel area and some kind of grand library or mansion area. I’ve been looking for this game for 20 years now with no luck. If I see the world map I’ll recognize it instantly. So many of the RPGs of that time had sprawling world maps, but this was very confined. One screen with very obvious images for each area. I would be eternally grateful if anyone could help me find this game.

Edit: The mine/tunnel area was in the middle/bottom of the world map and the grand library or mansion area was towards the top right if I remember correctly.

Unfortunately no, it was definitely turn based and not an ARPG. The graphics weren’t very different though.

SlurpingPus,

You could try looking for a ‘compilation of PS1 jrpgs’ video on YouTube, showing gameplay of each game for half a minute. This could jostle the memory. And the same with ps2, if that doesn’t work. However, afaiu there were a lot of jrpg games, so idk if anyone’s made a comprehensive video.

Guitarfun,

That’s a good idea. I found one video that covers over 420 JRPGs on PS1. I wish they did a list of world maps because that’s the best way I’d recognize it.

prole,

Legend of Dragoon?

Guitarfun,

Unfortunately no, it was a much brighter game. The main thing I remember about it was the world map. The map was colorful and had images for the ecosystems or locations. That is a good game though.

KittyCat,

Was it Shadow Madness maybe?

Guitarfun,

I don’t think so based on what I found online. The main thing I remember about it was the world map. The map was colorful and had images for the ecosystems or locations. It had summons and I could be wrong, but maybe only the summons battled enemies. I could be way off on that last part though.

Ashiette,

Might have been Shadow Hearts (Covenant) ? Because I vividly remember a tunnel area between Wales and England I think ?

Guitarfun, (edited )

No unfortunately, it was a very bright game. The main thing I remember about it was the world map. The map was colorful and had images for the ecosystems or locations. Everytime I think about this game I spend a couple hours searching RPG world maps, but I’ve never found it lol.

Miner VGA, I still fire it up every now and then.

ThrowawayPermanente,

May the hair on your toes never fall off

kieron115, (edited ) do gaming w For me, it was Microsoft Ants

Edit: I’m pretty sure the game was “Super Solvers: Gizmos & Gadgets!” and I was remembering the intro/home screen!

I used to play this edutainment title in the early 90s. All i can remember is cartoonish art, a professor or scientist or something and you had to solve puzzles by building machines i think?

The game I remember had a top down view, and looked more modern than that. It might have been a late DOS game but our computer at that time ran windows 3.1 on top so it could have been an early windows game too.

Most likely it’s The Incredible Machine by Sierra. www.gog.com/…/the_incredible_machine_mega_pack

prole,

I loved the Super Solver games as a kid

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

Here’s hoping:

It was in the 90s. Top down, you could be either an Apache gunship or a tank for each mission.

EDIT: Folks, thank you for all the help and suggestions. Turns out it was “Seek and Destroy”.

ZoopZeZoop,

I really enjoyed this on GameGear. My brother had it and I remember it being hard, but fair. We did pretty well.

Lushed_Lungfish,

Might be this. I’ll download and play. Though I seem to remember it was in the desert…

dubyakay,

I don’t think it’s jungle strike. Do you remember if it was sprite based or vector?

Lushed_Lungfish,

Sprite based maybe? It was something like thirty years ago so we’re reaching back. I can confirm that it was on PC and I THINK it was on Windows 95.

dubyakay,

Either way, Jungle Strike is the sequel (prequel?) to Desert Strike. Desert Strike definitely has a lot of desert, as you have described.

Blackmist,

SWIV?

Lushed_Lungfish,

Not SWIV, sorry but it looks neat! I’m going to give it a shot!

Ashiette,

Army Men : Air Attack ?

Lushed_Lungfish,

Not Army Men unfortunately. Though that was another series I loved!

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

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!

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

I once played a 2D RPG which I got stuck in at a point, because I filled all save slots right before getting to a blocking battle, for which I ended up not having enough weapons^[I had recently bought a weapon I then got another one of, just before the battle (as a gift for the battle), but was useless, because only 1 of the player characters could equip that] and then just falling 1 or 2 hits short of managing to pass it.

I have been meaning to retry it from the start (it was a freeware, I think) but I can’t recall the rather peculiar name of it. I has been ~ 20 years.

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.

Also Merry Fucking Christmas

Tangent5280,

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.

FranksScienceMonster,

Carnage Heart. OK, bye.

SlurpingPus,

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.

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

T-Rex Warrior for the Commodore Amiga.

Was probably my first introduction to 3D gaming, and because it was a hand-me-down I didn’t have any instructions on how to play it. It literally took my months to figure out how to move in that game, so in the meantime I just stood in place and spin around shooting at enemies until I died.

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

This is the one thing I actually use LLMs for: When I’m stuck trying to remember that one thing from a long time ago.

For me, the really hard one to find was a game called Return Fire. Awesome game.

    I think it might be a retroid pocket mini. Here’s a list of reviews on these little handheld guys I found in my hunt that might be helpful.
