Alright lots of recommendations in here, some that are making me question how old I am now since some of these don’t strike me as old enough to require a recommendation but I’ll just suggest one as a bit of a dark horse.
Tyrian 2000, the classic PC Shmup of a time long gone. Oh and I guess Jazz Jackrabbit cause that soundtrack is funky.
I’ll take a look at that program, only thing I’m digging about the 4k Downloader is it channeling my inner Ron-Co spokesman and being able to set it and forget it for full playlists. Command line isn’t a big deal though, I grew up having to play games in MS-DOS. Thanks for the lead though I’ll check it out tonight.
Tim, Dan, and Reiner in any horror themed Super Replay is fantastic. I went through a really rough separation and I needed something happy-ish to fill the dead noise at night and found the Megaman Legends Super Replay and the rest is history.
The new Terminator RTS can be pretty difficult but you can just smack space to pause and asses the situation, issue orders, and then in pause. It’s got a little jank to it but it’s a really good RTS with some survival/scavenging aspects and some branching objectives.
Party based survival RPG with a layer of distrust similar to John Carpenter’s The Thing and a few of the failed premises for morale and what not from the game based off the movie. Would probably need some sort of randomizer or rogue like element to keep the tension of who to trust high.
