Game Hunting Thread

Also, the game HUD was thematic. Also organic, if I remember correctly.

Microcosm?

Back in '97-98 I came along a pirate game CD (most of the games were demos or shareware anyway). Among those games were the likes of Duke, Witchaven 1/2, Blood Omen, and the one I'm currently searching for.

It was a Warcraft 2 or C&C-like RTS set it prehistoric times. I remember sides being various savage tribes and dinosaurs. I don't remember whether dinos were units available to all sides, or were they their own faction. What I do remember however, is some of the starting savage units were female, and that the sprites were pretty good and detailed.

I think that's either Jurassic War or Primitive Wars... Most likely the first one, since its from 1997.

Looking for an arcade sit-down cabinet game with a Sci-fi theme. The first "stage" was kind of a grey area that's moving very quickly (kind of an infinite "parking garage") and I think there were robots. No later than from 1993.
>possibly Sega

Looking for an RTS- or at least a top-down strategy game- that kind of units that you brought with you from one map to the other. I remember there being goblin sappers or tinkerers or something, who could turn water blocks into land blocks or vice-versa, and every unit- or almost every unit- could carry items.

It miiight have started with a D, but I'm not sure.

Machine Head.

No dice... Thanks for the ideas...

sounds like SEGA; like a depressing space harrier

Does anyone remember a pseudo-VR set-up for FPS's? Maybe I'm just dreaming it but I seem to remember playing some FPS with either a helmet on or in a pod. It was probably a gimmick that seemed cooler at the time because I was a kid, but i'm pretty sure it existed.

Similar to the Battletech "pods," but it wasn't them. I loved the Virtual World centers though...still remember seeing Steven Spielberg coming out of one with his kids and thinking he was going to make a Battletech movie :-(.

might have been unreal tournament but I think it came out earlier.

>>3666169
Sounds like Body of Many from System Shock 2, but that was end game and had weapons..

>>3666339
Ballistics? F-Zero?

>>3666169

Trying to remember the name of a game. It was a turn based artillery type game similar to worms but set in space and used planets as bases. The planets could get destroyed by artillery fire.

A game i have been looking for a long time. It was a dos game. All i remember from it was the beginning where you navigate some tunnel and there was a giant worm. It was 3D. It used FMV video. I don't remember much else. I think it was a FPS but I'm not sure. Any ideas?

>>3669735

It came on a demo disc.

>>3669629

That's Night Striker from Taito. The stage you're describing is the second stage.

That's it! I remember the damn crane arm boss too. Thanks /vr/o, Good eye. Bonus happiness for similarities to Darius.

Lookin for some old game, probably NES/SNES.

Played it on arcade 20 or so years ago.

Classic hack and slash type, except you can find and ride dragons and use their skills like fireball,firewave, think one could swipe.

At the end of level some kind of dwarf/gnome/goblin would come and steal your dragons.

Also you could kick those pests to get some coins/food/something like that to restore health.

Can't remember more, it was really long ago.

Twenty years + trying to remember the name of that f'ing arcade game I played in the 90's.

It was a side scroller action game pretty much like the Shinobi arcade game, but instead you controlled a Woman and there was no shurikens. You just punched and kicked your enemies through the levels. The regular enemies looked like the stereotype of a secret agent with long coats and hats, maybe sunglasses too.

I also remember there was a power up that gives you a sword to hit the enemies at a greater distance.

The name of this game itself is worth a thousand internets. Pic semi-related, it's the Shinobi arcade game.

>>3670751

Come on, that's Golden Axe and it wasn't even released on the nes/snes.

7,5/10 you made me reply.

>>3670804
Really had no idea what that game was, thanks for name.

>>3670798
Must be Flash Gal, another Sega game.

Holy macarroni you found it, Anon! Pic related is your reward. You are awesome!

Time to install MAME once again.

I am looking for a racing game I have played on DOS all those years ago. It was a 3D racer with 2D sprites, kind of like Super Mario Kart and had a stoneage or dinosaur theme.

I don't remember if it had any kart mechanics tho.
The artstyle was colourful and cartoonish.

Nevermind, found it: BC Racers
