Point & click, text based etc. it's all good. What have you been playing lately? Any obscure recommendations? Perhaps games made by you?

I finished Flight of the Amazon Queen some time ago because it was available for free from the devs and it was pretty alright. It's definitely trying to be up there with Monkey Island and Indiana Jones, the visual style and humor is very similar. Some of the puzzles were kinda stupid because your character carries a baseball bat in his inventory throughout the whole game and there's like gazillion different puzzles you could've solve with that in real life logic.
There's also lots and lots and lots of red herring. Could be because the devs had too many ideas and they tried to cram them all in and then just got bored. It has nice voice acting as well.

I'm also currently working on my own adventure game with AGS, though I'm not sure if I should make it for MsDOS for nostalgic reasons, or if I should just go with windows.

I've been also playing lots of the first Tex Murphy game. I really want to like it but it's really really hard game and not in a good way. Got the all Tex games from some bundle and I'm 12 hours in with the first game and no end in sight, it's really repetitive as well.
Good thing the plot is pretty interesting. I'm looking forward to play the other games, the third one and following games should have that sweet sweet FMV I love so much.

It's a weird mishmash of genres; point & click, flight, text adventure, shoot em up, and it doesn't do very good job in any of those. The graphics look like ass with the weird bronze-red color scheme.
>>
>>3008068
Honestly I liked first Tex Murphy more than second one. Martian Memorandum is a point'n'click, but holy shit it feels awkward and sprites are horrible. 3-4 are pain in the ass to play because of controls and 5 is a remake of the first one. 4 is really awesome because it multiple endings and other stuff.
>>
I've been playing DOOM, which I suppose qualifies as point & click.

Jokes aside, I haven't really played any recently aside from Anna's Quest off and on, and that one's not retro.

Tried making one in AGS back in August and realized I better learn to draw backgrounds and characters first. And pick a nice style, more importantly.

>>3008074
I played Under A Killiing Moon and got surprisingly far. Then I gave up at the stealth section with the guard bot. I hate exploring while essentially on a time limit in a room.

Another old game I played was Discworld Noir. A very flaggy game where sometimes you have no other choice but to revisit everything and brute force your way through.

What are your favorite pre-1995 polygonal games?

Was the window frame a sneaky way of partitioning the display area for efficiency or something?

What are some ps1 games that don't use all 4 shoulder buttons? I want to play on my psp but the analog stick is broken, the psp thinks I am using it when I am not touching it (I had to fiddle with the controls to get spyro working because it was either rotating the camera or causing spyro to roll around)

RPGs and platformers are what I am mostly looking for, but anything is fine

To clarify, I can assign any two of the shoulder buttons (l1 + r1 or l2 + r2 or a combination of them) but because the psp uses the analog stick as the l2/r2 buttons for ps1 games I have to disable them in the native emulator's control settings.

downloading tomba now, and I already have the crash games. I really want to try grandia, but am unsure if it will use the 4 shoulder buttons :\

The first is technical wizardry. Huge game world, lots of collectables, but severely limited by the GBC. A little more subtle in terms of dialogue, but it has plenty of charm.

Risky's Revenge is neat, especially with how they tiered the environments, but it's got some obtuse puzzles and isn't really worth its asking price (on DSi anyway, it's cheaper elsewhere).

Pirate's Curse does away with the transformation mechanic and is an infinitely better game because of it. Light Metroidvania-ing, great music, and solid gameplay.

I feel like I should get an actual retro console now since I've had multiple CRTs in my house just because I couldn't afford a flat screen. Which one should I start with though? I mean master system looked intresting but I don't know.

What are you, 15? Just get a part time at McDonalds and a 200 dollar LCD with a PS4.

If you can't afford a $200 flat screen you should be saving your money for rent, food, bus fare to the welfare office, etc. Not wasting it on games. Emulate on your obabaphone.

I have scored more than 20,000 points in Pitfall. I would like my Pitfall Harry's Explorers Club patch.

Also Pitfall thread. Talk about the Pitfall games.

Example: Pitfall!, Pitfall 2: The Lost Caverns, Super Pitfall, Pitfall: The Mayan Adventure, etc.

>Super Pitfall
Fuck that fucking bullshit ass game, fuck the devs, fuck whoever playtested it and said it was OK, fuck the publisher, fuck everyone involved in the fucking ear.

Seriously, I rarely see a game full of such bullshit and dick moves. Read the fucking manual and you can see the bullshit without even playing. Here's a few gems:
"(talking about the keys and other items you NEED to beat the game)Since they are invisible, Harry should jump often while exploring the cave."
"At various places in the caverns, Harry can instantly transport himself from one cave to another by jumping in a particular(but unmarked) spot."
The entire game involves running around a cave full of enemies(all of which one-hit you), trying to find where the fuck the hidden items/teleporters are by jumping fucking everywhere. It's the only game I've ever beaten that I have no desire to ever touch again.

FUCK Super Pitfall.

Blew my god damn mind that there was a TMNT game that LOOKED EXACTLY LIKE THE CARTOON WITH ALL THE SAME CHARACTERS. It was such a triumphant moment when I first saw this game, like some sort of vindication after playing the first NES game.

SadlyI haven't really played a 'new' arcade game since DDR machines in the early 2000's.

I remember really enjoying Hang-on and stun runner in the arcades.

At home I really liked Virtual-On on my Saturn.

The last one I recently really got into was was Galaxy Force 2, which is an amazing game once you can 1CC it, and Strider.
