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.
A very simple space sim that was just sitting in a folder that was either part of windows or one of my installed games, presumably an Easter egg for those just perusing the files. Maybe late nineties?
Like, the simplest starfield and cockpit and you just used the mouse to shoot lasers at stuff.
All of the sound files (only maybe a dozen sound effects at most) were in .wav format so I used the crappy mic I had at the time and recorded new sounds just with my mouth. Had a blast playing my “modded” version.
Haven’t figured out what it was/what “real” software it came with.
I once played a first-person point-and-click adventure game featuring a player character who is a cyborg. I don’t remember much about the game, but I do recall quite explicitly that it had a Hard Rock Cafe in the game. Haven’t had any luck finding it.
Took me two decades to find the game [Dominus]. Nothing worse than having the name of something on the tip of your tongue for that long. Used to play this game a lot when I was young, it’s not very good but it was a core memory. I cried a bit when I figured it out.
There’s this game on the original macintosh that’s been my white whale for decades. A samurai/ninja game with a heroes of might and magic style overworld map and and a fighting game style screen with a dense bamboo forest in the background. I’ve gone through a bunch of archives and I just can’t seem to find it
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.
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.
I can’t remember the name now, but I recently found a game In have been looking the name of for years. It’s something like Pharo’s. Curse or something along those lines, but I’d have to check Flashpoint Archive for the name because they have the online demo.
The concept was just that each level had a different board layout and you had to move 3 pieces of some sort of symbol or artifact or whatever to be adjacent ( possibly in a certain order horizontally ) but balls spawn if you move witjo clearing them by matching 3 or using a powerup. You could move them to any empty space so long as the path was clear.
Can’t find a copy of the actual game itself from a reputable website right now, but I know it exists.
It was a tower defense game before the term existed. Way back on a Macintosh back and white machine. You sat in the lower corner with a mortar and machine gun against people, tanks, helicopters, and jets trying to charge/shoot your position.
Oh! And The Dark Castle. There was a big the prevented you from finishing the game. Man I wish I could play it to completion.
Another awesome one is the tank game where you spawned on hills, then insulted each other before flinging various crazy weapon shots around (nikes, mirvs, napalm, dirt). Such fun.
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.
