Forgotten games

There was a PC myst-style first person puzller that was based on the Charlie Sheen movie "The Arrival". You played as Charlie Sheen and have to escape from this big spooky space station. I owned it around 1996. It came in a double cd jewel case with 3 or 4 discs. I have only been able to track down one picture of the box art. I don't think that there are even any images of gameplay anywhere. I would love to play it again, or just see some screenshots,

Amazon's got some copies for a good price.

>>3093983
Since i watched the movie i was looking for that game the other day and there's literally nothing.
It was actually good?

Pixy Garden. There's practically nothing about it and only one playthrough on Nico.

Well this reminds me of a game I forgot about. The game is a trxt adventure, the story involves a college student going to his school computer lab. While there he stays incredibly late to work on a paper until he is alone, it also so happens that a snow storm occurrs. Due to the storm he is locked alone in the computer lab, while there he hears noises coming from the basement and eventually decides to investigate. I remember the game was quite lovecraftian. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

Did anyone here have the Galaxy of Games Gold Edition disc from Egames? It had a shitload of obscure game demos on it. Here's a list of some I remember.

Booym (breakout type game with a kickass soundtrack)
Crazy Drake (Earthworm Jim clone)
Demonstar (space shooter)
Ludo Safari (Board Game)
Miniverse (mini golf)
Moon Buggy (Moon Patrol clone)
Oxide (space shooter)
Puzzle Master (jigsaw puzzles)
Speedy Eggbert (platformer)
Tile Blazer (very unique multiplayer game)

I still have the disc if anyone's interested.

Beeralaga. Not the ROM hack, the 90s freeware PC game (which was probably the inspiration for the ROM hack).

As far as I can tell there are literally 0 mentions of this game on the entire internet.

It's probably lost forever, which sucks because it was an awesome game.

>>3094301
If this doesn't eat your computer, post screenshots

>>3096236
I played it. I think it was considered rather innovative in spookiness for its time.

Since we're talking about old games, anyone remember that shareware disk that had a sabertooh on it? The other disk in that series had a tiger.

They had a lot of interesting games from One Must Fall 2097, to a shitty port of Street Fighter, Desert Strike, Hocus Pocus, man I could go on. There was also a game where you were a monkey and had to escape from your cage.

Pretty much anything that ran on the RM Nimbus that is not Granny's Garden.

It's hard to even find lists of these games *names*. Screenshots and video is rarer still, and actual roms, well... good fucking luck.

The Battle Gear series as a whole is fairly elusive (with the only known NTSC rip of the second game having a dead link) but the first game, released in 1999, is one of those games I'm confident I'll never play. I've never seen any moving footage of it: just some stills and cabinet pictures. It was only released in Japan as far as I know and it runs on the Taito Type Zero, which has yet to be emulated.

Also, the non-/vr/ second game had a pretty rad intro:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cwk6oWLHl6M

There was a 2D Zelda-like South Park game on download.com back in the late 90s/2000 I've never been able to find again, it was fun

>>3098246
The Side by Side series works in mame, which was made by Taito before battle gear. There's also a PSX port of it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGBqkPg2R0g

>>3098261
I've played the entire Side By Side series, as well as Battle Gear 2 and 3, but I'm a completionist and the fact that I'll never play BG1 (or 4 until I get the Type X loader working) will bother me forever.

>>3098253
I'm probably way off, but is it Legend of the Lampshade?

>>3093975
Long ago, I had my first internet access through an Amiga BBS running some version of Citadel.
Anyways, it had a door game that I'd really like to set up and play again.

It was one of those RPGs in the style of Legend of the Red Dragon or Usurper, but it had a lot of extra stuff. You could buy a ship and go fishing, sometimes you'd catch a leviathan and have to fight it like you would another ship (with cannons).

I wish I could remember its name, I don't think I have the fortitude to set up every fantasy rpg door game from 1994 that runs under Citadel on an Amiga.

Do any Amiga folks have any recollections?

You can't even find the manual online, good luck figuring it out. And I don't think it ever sold that much.

A game (I think it might have been a Klik n Play game but something tells me no) called Gold of the Kast, or just Kast, a cartoony point and click adventure that only now I realise must have been some kind of furry game where you play a woman called Lois Brice and speak to all these characters trying to find some secret mask or something. It was actually really good but I've never been able to find any reference to it anywhere on the internet apart from one guy mentioning it in a forum post years and years ago.

Magic and Mayhem.

It's one where you're a wizard, and you have a bunch of reagents, and between levels you can slip a reagent into either 'defensive', 'offensive', or 'utility'. In these three slots they do different things- from spells to minions to buffs.

So you're trying to put yourself or your minions on these 'places of power' to regenerate mana, and you're spending mana to summon minions or cast spells, and fighting other wizards.

Dataware's games. I played the trial versions all the time as a kid, though admittedly their games aren't really that good. Still, it wasn't every day that PCs got Dragon Quest and Famicom Wars clones. http://www.datawaregames.com/html/games.htm

They're not that obscure, but good luck finding any info on a retro game when it's called "Modern Warfare".

Sound Novel Tsukuru for Super Famicom. I came across it on some German website while looking up information about RPG Maker 2 for SFC. I found a ROM and downloaded it, however I can't speak Japanese so I am not entirely sure what it does. It appears to be a graphic novel maker, much like the RPG Maker games.

There is even a second GBC game and a lot of HxH games in general. I've heard many fans glamoring over the idea of a Greed Island RPG and they actually already exist. One for the PSX and one for the WonderSwan Color.

But oh well, I don't think you can play any of these without the knowledge of Japanese. Tell me if you manage to get any deeper into Kindan no Hihoue.

My go-to on this topic is DragonMaze because the game's most powerful weapon doesn't even show up in Google if you search for the name of it, and there's half a dozen other games named "Dragon Maze" or "Dragon's Maze" that pop up if you search for it.

That one game we discussed some time ago in another thread. Forgot the exact name already, but played is back then too.
Rocky Rock? Or something like that, with a jetpack and gory shooting, of where only the shareware version floats around but the full seems to be lost even by the developer.
Was a fun game but really sad that the full might be lost forever :(

There was a text and still picture adventure type game on Amiga I remember that seemed kinda cool, you could only go a few steps until you encountered these goblins and had to give them a line from a book that came with the game. My copy was a rip son I never got past the damn goblins kek.
I don't remember the name if the game anymore, it seemed like it would have been a cool game.

Every might and magic game

An old DOS text mode shooting game. It might have even been an IBM demo/freebie with PC-DOS or something.

You controlled a gun at the bottom of the screen that could move left and right. At each position you could fire once, straight up.

Below you was a row of bullets (represented by that ASCII char that looks like a house), allowing you to keep track of where you'd fired and where you hadn't.

The enemies were like these flying caterpillar things, represented alternately by a row of *s and then +s. They varied in length and simple shuffled across the screen at various altitudes.

You can still download it online.

Surprisingly the .exe runs perfectly fine even on Windows7 64 bit. The start menu is a bit buggy, but the game itself runs pretty much perfectly.

Foodman

A danish educational DOS game about eating healthy. You're in a supermarket, and you're supposed to progress through the different floors. There is a lot of different food to eat, some of which is rotten. The exit for each floor opens when you gather enough points from answering nutrition questions. You can die from being too fat, starvation, drinking etc.

The enemies consist of unhealthy foods chasing you around. There are obstacles like slippery tiles that sends you flying in one direction, and hallways that are too narrow to get through if you are fat.

I managed to find a working download link along with a video earlier this year, but still there are very few traces of it.

Danes might also remember Olga's Arbejdsmiljo, which is just fucking impossible to find even a screenshot of.

Bier: The Last Eichhoff is a german/swiss shmup that seems to be pretty much unknown in most other countries.
It was released as Freeware for DOS in 1993 and I remember getting the copy from my brother and playing the shit ouf ot it when I was a wee little boy.
It's actually one of the best shmups I've ever played and pretty innovative imo; you upgrade your "beer ship" with different kinds of beer bottles and cases that all fire in a different way with the points that you've earned in the previous level. Funny sound-FX and cool graphics. Kind of a shame that it didn't get a lot of recognition, but that's probably to be expected.

I have no idea if this is /vr/, but Space Trader was an Elite clone for Palm OS. You could trade and travel between hundreds of planets, chase down pirates, become a pirate, smuggle illegal goods, upgrade your ship and do the occasional sidequest. The actual flying through space part is a lot simpler, though.

It's not completely forgotten. There's a shit Android port under the name Dark Nova, and a Windows port: https://sourceforge.net/projects/spacetraderwin/

Guru Logic Champ, a really cute (and taxing) puzzle game by Compile for the GBA. Rotate the stage and place crates to fill in all the gaps, kind of like picross with gravity or something.

I remember going to some museum on a field trip as a kid, and they had some educational Mega Man clone that you could play. I'm pretty sure that it was teeth based, and you played as a toothbrush or something, and you fought candy? Either that or it was health food based. There's no way I'll ever find out what it was, but I remember it being pretty fucking brutal. We took turns, and I don't think any of us could beat the first level.

I remember this game that played kind of like Out of this World / Another World. It was on PC and pretty fucking dark, it scared the shit out of me as a kid. Have never been able to recall the name.

The visuals mix pre-rendered backgrounds, 3D elements, and CG characters, and are full of vibrant colors that pop, swirl and spin.

>The "plot" spells itself out as you play in loads of Japanese text, but there are so many visual cues and English signage that it's not too difficult to play. The "Super Lounging Music" is almost too relaxing;"Oh yes, It's like no gravity, dippily, Super relaxing and Lounging kind of sound", according to one of the two fold out manuals included. But the frantic, hysterical urgency of some of the mini-games and the "Mixing Hour" stages (where you play around with music from the game) will keep you glued to your tee vee for days.

>Nonograms or Paint by Numbers are picture logic puzzles in which cells in a grid have to be colored or left blank according to numbers given at the side of the grid to reveal a hidden picture. In this puzzle type, the numbers measure how many unbroken lines of filled-in squares there are in any given row or column. For example, a clue of "4 8 3" would mean there are sets of four, eight, and three filled squares, in that order, with at least one blank square between successive groups.

>These puzzles are often black and white but can also have some colors. If they are colored, the number clues will also be colored in order to indicate the color of the squares. Two differently colored numbers may or may not have a space in between them. For example, a black four followed by a red two could mean four black spaces, some empty spaces, and two red spaces, or it could simply mean four black spaces followed immediately by two red ones.

>There are no theoretical limits on the size of a nonogram, and they are also not restricted to square layouts.

Holy shit this is my dreamgame, why didn't I hear about it before ?

I'm currently in Japan, do I have any chance at getting a copy of this ? Do jap PS1 games work on a yuro PS1 ?

Sorry if I sound a bit crazy but urban exploration and creepy supernatural legends are my absolute favorite things

>>3116802
nope on the working on a yuro ps1, and it's unfortunately a fairly expensive game in the 200+ range complete with the map. you can likely run it with a ps-x-change or some other bootdisc though, or on a chipped ps2 if you have one of those. at that point though you may be better off burning a copy.

>>3116814
what this guy said, it's common on ebay if you're willing to pay more. way to go is probably either a burned copy or playing it on a psp or something.

>>3116815
>>3116820
Ok that's a bit too expensive for me, I've looked and found some copies for 170$

I see what PAL -> NTSC is, but what exactly is a modchip? Sorry I'm completely new to modding consoles.
My console is a fat PS1 (or the boxy one, I don't know how english people call it) from Europe. Tbh it's not the first nip game that triggers my interest and I'm considering tweaking my PS1 a bit if it means being able to play those games.

>>3116834
as for the modchip you can either buy one and solder it in or hunt someone down to do it for you.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/MM3-Multimode-3-IC-PSX-PS1-PSOne-New-Prewired-/181984684080?hash=item2a5f21e830:g:w0IAAOSwu4BV7bDJ
here's an example one. shouldn't be too painful to install if you have any soldering experience.

otherwise you can get a disc like a ps-x-change or something that'll let you play games from outside of your region, although you'll have to swap it out every time.

>>3116841
Unfortunately I have no experience in soldering and retro gaming isn't that big in my country, on the other hand the PS-X-Change disc looks pretty easy to use I'll give it a try

All kinds of old Commodore games. Legacy of the Ancients and Legend of Blacksilver were pretty good.

Legend of the Ancient Dragon was a Korean RPG with a story that was pretty much stolen from Record of Lodoss War. I found it in a bargain bin when I was 10 or so and I'm certain that to this day I'm one of maybe 20 people to have ever played it.

The English version that I had was lacking music, and in some cases wasn't even translated. I still have the CD but I think it's scratched. I've ben posting it in Games only you played threads with a $100 reward for literally years now and not a single person has gotten it.

It's odd how such a small fan project found its way over here.

The increased temperatures have formed vast deserts and transmogrified the planet into a barren wasteland. All hope seems lost for humanity until the discovery of a metal ore that seems to protect against the Sun's heat and radiation. Only one problem. The only place where the ore can be tested in time to save them is within the Sun itself.

My go-to on this topic is Rick Ribbit's Math'n'More. Maybe it had different titles, or even multiple games in a series. You can find a few obscure tidbits about "Rick Ribbit in Arknoodle's Math Challenge", which might be the same game, but nothing about "Math n' More"

It's an educational platformer where you play as a frog, throw marbles at enemies and solve simple math problems by hitting blocks. Pretty much the only information available on the internet is my past /vr/ posts, and, inexplicably, the game's full soundtrack on Youtube:

Does anyone know the name of a game for SNES (and possibly Genesis) about a beat-em-up similar to Battletoads, but where you played as a cute witch, and she wore different outfits in each level?

It had really good and stylized graphics, and the main character had that typical 90's anime face.
I think that the game only released in Japan.
