RTS game. It was an army, a little bit hi-tech and it had cutscenes made with time lapsed drawing videos (with crayons) as narrator talked.

Sounds like Original War.



one of the cutscenes.

OH MY GOD, THIS IS IT, thank you, no seriously I owe you one.

This is going to feel amazing to play this game now that I'm super intelligent.

alright this has been bugging me a fuckload lately.

old old PC game, ran on windows 3.1. old. pseudo-3D or primitive 3D racer? i think police were involved? you'd race around a center pillar...it was very 80s iirc

[Fallsburg]

Oh man, my friend had that game.  Was it possibly Test Drive?

[DJFloppyFish]

i remember playing this weird first person game on pc where you could walk through a hedgemaze and fight pokemon rip offs. i think it had mechanic of capturing them too but im not sure. i think there were other locales too because i recall an overworld map.

One of my friends is looking for a Sega Genesis Action-Adventure/RPG where... apparently it features extremely small sprites/objects, in a very big, sprawling world (that isn't Toe Jam & Earl or Fatal Labyrinth)... something where a player could roam the overworld for hours in a single direction.

Any guesses to go on?

Faery tale adventure?

nah, i don't think so. unless the original test drive had a third person camera view? i'm losing my mind now because i tried looking it up and i can't find it. did i just make this game and this entire experience up? seems unlikely?

Anyway, your description is too vague. Try remembering something else about the game. Primary camera mode(1st/3rd person), theme(pro racing, street, sci-fi), game genre(sim, arcade), some distinguishable gimmick maybe? Even the platform you played it on or the predominant colour scheme can help narrow it down.

Hi, I have a game I can't remember the name of. You were a person whose ship crash landed on a hostile planet, and you had to recover the pieces. The game took place from an overhead perspective. You could be a melee-only alien, some sort of psionic goo alien, or a normal, weak melee or firearm using human. The game was like an open-world survival game, where you just walked around, getting items and combining them and stuff. It had a temperature gauge as well as health and stuff, so you really had to work to stay alive. It was pretty hard, from what I remembered, though pretty fun, too. It was a free game; I downloaded it from GameHippo back when it still existed.

I think the game's name started with an N, like Nocturne or Noz or something. I'm not sure, but I think the same person who made that game also made a ship game called Wassal (anybody remember it?). This hint might throw people off though, so perhaps it should be disregarded.

Any help?

EDIT: I got it! I recalled another game by the same guy, which was called Magebane. The game I was thinking of above was Notrium. The guy who made these games made Driftmoon (his most recent game).

it was definitely PC; i want to say Windows 3.1 but i suppose it could have been DOS? primarily greys with iirc primary colors. there were police involved. third person camera.

kind of abstract-ish; like, i don't think it was actually polygonal, but it had the effect of very low poly solid color models.

i remember nothing else.

Win 3.X had no real games, just a bunch of solitaire-style thingies. During the times before the creation of DirectX, every PC game serious enough to be considered a proper game was made for DOS(often with DOS extenders usage, e.g. DOS/4GW).

Anyway,


Vette!






Test Drive III

OH MY GOD IT WAS MEGARACE

fuck i'm watching people play this on youtube and it's not even nostalgic. this is proto-nostalgia. this is fucked up. this is like stuff i didn't even properly form memories of that's bubbling to the forefront and making me feel very strange

[krazyjakee]

I'm going to give this a shot with what little information I have so apologies in advance.

It was a NES game and the graphics were bad even for the NES. It had arcade sounds and involved some kind of spaceship shooting it's way through caves. When you died there was an almighty explosion where the parts of the spaceship flew in every direction and off the side of the screen with a big sound. It was very hard.

Haha that is literally all the information I have.   if anyone can help.

UPDATE: ITS SECTION Z! My memory was mostly wrong

I remember a game I played many, many years ago. You played up with a english wind up toy soldier fighting toy enemies in a toy world.
I really don't know if was a Windows game or an old Macintosh game, but I believe it was Windows.
Any help?

I remember playing a 2D free indie pc top down shooter set in the wild west, you move with wasd and aim with mouse, oh and you die with 1 bullet hit and so do the enemies (mostly?), it was around 2010, graphics was simple and generic, smooth had good music maybe i heard about it from tigsource... Sorry for my english but that's all i can remember. I'd be very thankful if i can play it one more time :D

Weirdly, the only thing similar I can think of is Vanquish, but that's not very similar. Incredible game, though.
