From top to bottom:

Knight's Apprentice
Scaler
Finny the Fish
Evergrace
FireFighter F.D18
Shadow Tower Abyss
Sub Rebellion

[distantmantra]

Does anyone else own Rezel Cross? I picked it up at at a Book Off in Honolulu a few years ago. It's a decent JRPG.

[Rhomega Beta]

A few more I've forgotten:








Yes, I'm that die-hard a Mega Man fan.

[First Name]

From top to bottom: Knight's Apprentice Scaler Finny the Fish Evergrace FireFighter F.D18 Shadow Tower Abyss Sub Rebellion

Haven't played any :(. thought they might've looked familiar.

[Bulk_Rate]

Crap, but I bought it new in my desperation for a decent Zombie game.



Epic space RPG with a cool story


Big props to those who mentioned Interstate 76. I remember there was a keyboard command to make your Afro-wearing buddy spout of random poetry over the CB. That game was genius.

[Chaucer]

I played these games when I was 5-7 years old on a Tandy Compatible.

Challenge of the Ancient Empires!



OutNumbered!



Treasure Mountain!

[FutureZombie]

I like my odds on this one:

[Hansel]

Good game. The unreleased (but leaked) sequel is even better.

Just played it recently. It felt very nostalgic despite the fact I'd never played.

[Hasemo]

A few more I've forgotten:

I got this game with my "Diamond Monster 3D" 4MB 3dfx based accelerator. Fun times.

4 more came to my mind:

Iron Blood for DOS. I think it was a SNES game ripoff, but was fun like hell back when I was a kid.


DIG for DOS. One of my first games, I think I've never got further than the first few stages.


Supaplex for DOS. Another game from my youth. Fun, but hard.

And... This abomination:

Time Warriors for Windows. A terrible Soul Edge clone and the worst fighting game I've ever played, including Rise of the Robots.

[Darkmakaimura]

agreed lol anyone play mystic defenders? I got this when it was released, and beat the game and the girl had the night gown on. so Im unsure how people got the nudie version?

I had this game and loved it! The girl was nude in my version. I'm guessing I bought the game when it was first released, before they changed it?

[arglebargle]

Also, is Torin's Passage considered obscure? It was a Sierra adventure game and I remember liking it a lot as a kid, but I've never seen it mentioned since. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/XJ3Uh.png[IMG]

i remember seeing torins passage in some magazine when i was a little kid and really wanting it. to the day i havent played it but still think about getting it at some point.

A few more I've forgotten:

i like kororinpa a lot. one of the more underrated games on the wii.

I played these games when I was 5-7 years old on a Tandy Compatible. Treasure Mountain!

i played a lot of learning company games back in the. definitely treasure mountain, and there was another one that was basically the same except you were underwater i think. good memories.

speaking of edutainment, i spent a lot of time with the trivia game that was included with microsoft encarta, which i believe was called mindmaze. anyone with me on that one?

[Night_Trekker]

Just played it recently. It felt very nostalgic despite the fact I'd never played.

Yeah. They're both very solid, old school platformers.

To think we used to have consoles awash in them. And nowadays... :/

We'll probably be lamenting the lack of FPSs and TPSs someday, though.

So I'm not the only one on GAF who played the Harley Humongous (SNES) through completion, right?

Love my SNES (and of course the NES) when I was a boy, so many games.
But the title above in particular was one of the most bizarre games that I played...and beat it. Not that hard tho.

[Link1110]

Some of mine:
ONI 3: Kuro no Hakaishin, a mono game boy rpg with dragon quest 4's chapter system.
Star Ocean: Blue Sphere, I know a lot of you have heard of it, but I don't think I've sense it talked about here
Megami Tensei Last Bible 2, a sequel to the game known here as Revelations: The Demon Slayer and a ton better with a great soundtrack
Yukiwari no Hana, a choose your adventure anime for psp and ps1, VERY depressing game
Legend of Heroes: White Witch for Saturn, got stuck and created a thread hoping someone else had played it, but this version is more obscure than the rest
Ys 5 on PS2, don't play this! The dungeons in the second half are incredibly boring and one of them is glitches transporting me back to the beginning of the floor so I couldn't beat it
Gyakuten Kenji 2 (Ace Attorney Investigations 2) and I beat it. Nyah Nyah Nyah Nyah Nyah Nyah

[rpmurphy]

speaking of edutainment, i spent a lot of time with the trivia game that was included with microsoft encarta, which i believe was called mindmaze. anyone with me on that one?

Yeah, who didn't play that? :P

Now playing the trivia game in Grolier encyclopedia, I think that's rarer. *fanfare sfx*

[Schnei871]

[How About No]

I'm not sure if no one has played it, but I've at least never seen mention of it.

I remember renting this and waking in a few hours early before school to play this as a kid!



No idea if it'd hold up now lol

[Wok]

Fury of the Furries - http://youtu.be/6_HjAvAc1SI dat soundtrack.

Supaplex for DOS. Another game from my youth. Fun, but hard.

Wow. I have played these games but I did not know the names! Cool!

[SOME-MIST]

I used to play that...completely forgot the name of the game till you brought that screenshot up lol. Was brutal in the sense that you NEED cover to survive and once caught in the open your men are pretty much dead. If you were flanked, you're dead. Ruthlessly unforgiving to mistakes yet so fun.

unbelievable! I was so sure that I would have been the only one here even though it was free 2 play since it had a semi-small community. But you're right. The game was tough as nails. The experience/ranking system was brutal, and if I remember correctly you could only reach a certain rank (maybe 2nd Lt?) before you had to join a regiment to get promoted to higher ranks.

It was awesome for a free 2 play game though...setting up regiment battles was a blast. I remember 2 players that used to be insane at the game - USAF and Iceman. It looks like the game is still up too: http://chain-hq.com/ but it used to be 2am.com

edit: actually looking at the different regiments/user list - I remember a lot of those names. one of the regiments I was in (720) looks like it's still active too.

[PetrCobra]

Challenger for NES.

I sucked so hard at this game, yet I kept coming back

Dunkle Schatten 2: Im Netzwerk gefangen (Dark Shadows 2: Trapped in the network)



Description shamelessly stolen...

Dunkle Schatten 2: Im Netzwerk gefangen (Dark Shadows 2: Trapped in the network) is the sequel to the adventure Dunkle Schatten, also published by the German Federal Ministry of Interior as part of the FAIRSTÄNDNIS campaign against racism and violence. The game's an point-and-click adventure with an interface reminding of the later Sierra adventures. It is greatly improved over the first part as it now uses SVGA screen resolution. The story sets two years after the first. You again play as Karsten who this time has to deal with Neonazis defacing the memorial stone for a long dead, Jewish town mayor. And some classmate of him seems to be involved as he distributes Nazi computer games...

Probably one of the first if not THE first point & click adventure I have ever played. I really liked this game as far as I remember.

[Mitsurux]

Here are a few from my first ever system the TI 99/4a

Parsec
A-Maze-ing
TI Invaders
Strike Three (One of the last games released if i remember right)
Camel (via TI Cassette tape.. ie basic)

[DiGiKerot]

Is that good? RahXephon is one of my favorites. Doubt I'd be able to play it unless there was a fan translation though.

I remember thinking it was alright at the time, though I rather suspect that it's aged pretty badly. The combat played like a pretty c-grade ZoE clone at the time as it is, with some annoying control issues when it came to using your special abilities.

What made the game particularly interesting - and, unfortunately, rather import-unfriendly - is that it had a pretty comprehensive adventure segment in which you walked around the island talking to people as the story unfolded. IIRC, the storyline changes depending on what you do within the adventure segments, and could end up diverging from what happened in the TV version.

Unfortunately, I also remember getting stuck at a few points during those segments, only getting through by strength of bloody-minded persistence more than any linguistic skill (of which I am sorely lacking).

[ghibli99]

Anyone ever play Crime Wave on the PC? Made by Access (the Links 386 peeps), it was a NARC clone, and had some nice digitized audio via PC speaker and some semi-nudity... you know, for kids!

[Beergut]

Lady Bug (Intellivision)
Played this way too much during my first year of University...

[Popstar]

Here are a few from my first ever system the TI 99/4a Parsec A-Maze-ing TI Invaders Strike Three (One of the last games released if i remember right) Camel (via TI Cassette tape.. ie basic)

I remember some of these. Parsec used the speech synth add-on. Was Strike Three the baseball game that you could use with a headset and voice recognition?

Lady Bug (Intellivision) Played this way too much during my first year of University...

I played this. The flipping gates were a nice added variant on the Pac-Man formula.

[Nealand Liquor]

Ive been playing games since atari so Im sure rhere is a title or two. Either way there was this psx game where you had to set traps to capture monsters in a mansion. played it once (liked it), but I can not remember the name for the life of me.

[TheCongressman1]

There was this one old computer game that I can't remember the name of. It was a 3D platformer and you were a squirrel and you could climb up this giant tree while collecting nuts.

No, it's not Conker. I think it was called something like Nutz or something... Idk...

[shagg_187]

Games that I Think?
Game that I know so!



It's such a fun game! I've mentioned it at GAF so many times. People who say Dark Souls or Ninja Gaiden is hardcore haven't even experienced hardcore!

I wish I still had my Genesis and the collection! :(

[Retro]

Another old Mac game;

[Zaph]

[DTLIONS1013]

Played the fuck out of this on my old mac

[sml_x]

Challenge of the Ancient Empires!

I've had memories of this game floating around in my head for years, but I couldn't remember the damn title. Thank you.

[Raist]

No way anyone has played this.



Come at me, bros.

[someguyinahat]

DIG for DOS. One of my first games, I think I've never got further than the first few stages.

It was actually called Digger. And yeah, played it, pretty fun game.

[Brera]

Saturn - October 31, 1996 PC - December 31, 1996 (note: Click here for a detailed breakdown of what I was saying earlier, that you emphatically denied, regarding the completely different and crap PC release.) And rather than make that a drive by post, tell me why Exhumed was supposedly shit. -It looked brilliant, with some really nice texture work, real time lighting, interestingly designed villains (mixing aliens with Ancient Egypt in quite a cool way) and ran at a stable, constant framerate. -It had a nice moody soundtrack. -It had some absolutely outstanding level design, with multiple exits, multiple paths depending on your present abilities, and massively rewarded revisiting area by opening up new paths on the world map. -It had some diverse environments (especially at the time) with swamps, dark pyramids, volcanoes, ancient cities, an arena, a tomb, an insect hive, a space station, an alien outpost, and a surreal galactic plane. -It had an incredible lineup of weapons and upgrades, all having secondary functions that permit exploration as well as aggression. -Fantastic difficulty curve. -It had more secrets than any FPS I have ever played. Getting all the team-dolls was an outstandingly well realised achievement. -It was a critical success in practically every magazine that reviewed it. CVG even went so far as to retroactively give it five out of five the issue after they originally reviewed it (then scoring it four), saying the game exhibited far more excellence than was initially apparent. -It was such an impressive development that Sega of Japan made a direct plea to Exhumed devs Lobotomy Software, a complete unknown in the industry, for them to bring Quake and Duke Nukem 3D to the Saturn. So please, tell me how it was so unambiguously "shit full stop". I'm not saying your opinion is wrong, I'd just like to see such an absolute objective statement expanded upon, especially when it is concerning what I consider to be the Metroid Prime of its era. Thanks.

I don't deny the skills of Lobotomy. They did some awesome work on Quake on the Saturn through some technical wizardry, a game people said was impossible to do but I could not stand Exhumed at all. Maybe I didn't give it enough time but I hated the levels, enemies etc!

Maybe it was cos my best friend tried to brain wash me into liking it. In those days, the only FPS games that interested me were Doom.

[DCharlie]

Challenger for NES. I sucked so hard at this game, yet I kept coming back http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0zGql86-IAo

hehe, my wife used to mock me by humming the game theme tune for about 2 seconds then making the "fell off the train" sounds because i struggled to get used to it.

Interestingly, Hudson did a similar game for the MSX that was then ported over to ZX Spectrum based on the train segment of Challenger (Stop the Express)

Stop the (ITA) Express

[bumpkin]

Loved this game when I was a kid!

[stutte]

Aztec Challenge for the C64.

[ArisenDragon]

Anyone remember playing this as a kid.

[someguyinahat]

Aztec Challenge for the C64.

Cousin had this on his C64. I only played it a couple of times. Best I did was the very beginning of the second level - made it past the first level with one life to go and died right away thereafter. Don't remember too much more than dodging the spears as in the screenshot, though.

[beje]

It has probably made it several times to this thread but I think it's the "rarest" game I've played:



A third person shooter with four characters that had interleaved stories, each one with a completely different combat style. I don't remember much of it, but it was one of my favourite guilty pleasures when I was a teen.

[Mama Robotnik]

Thanks for addressing my post. How far did you progress with the game before deciding it was "shit full stop", do you remember? I'm not criticising your opinion you are absolutely entitled to it. Its just so different to my own, I'm just wondering how long it took the game to come across to you as so profoundly abhorrent.

[semiconscious]

a game about... side-show geeks...

[biggersmaller]

I played these games when I was 5-7 years old on a Tandy Compatible. Treasure Mountain!

Put this in the "what the hell game am I thinking of" camp. Thanks for solving that mystery.

Too bad I even thought the game was on the boring side even when 10, LOL.

I played this game and had a lot of fun with it. I remember it having 3 playable characters, but I only playing with the first one. Why was it a guilty pleasure?

I loved the style in this game. I remember it being one of my favorite car battle games.

[Iced_Eagle]

Anyone ever play Chiller? It was banned in the US (only way to get it was to find it in an arcade or via an unlicensed catridge). Really violent game, so it's no surprise it was banned.

[ShadyMilkman]

Hahahaha, my best friend had this game on like 10 floppy disks. Our 10 year old minds were blown away.

[Philia]

Loved this game when I was a kid!

OMFG. I friggin REMEMBER THIS. OMG. Thank you so much for the memories mannn. I've definitely played this!

Heavy Metal FAKK 2

Rituals 3rd person shooter sequel to the Heavy Metal 2000 movie.
Can't think of any other person I've ever come across that has played this.

or these

Star Trek Voyager Elite Force

&
Star Trek Elite Force 2


Raven and Ritual made some damn excellent shooters in the late 90's early 2000's and i can't think of anyone who played them
