Any kind of game
EDIT: changed from suggested to mentioned and made the title more clear
Gunstar Heroes. It was the first game I ever beat on my Genesis.
Maui Mallard in Cold Shadow (PC)
Final fantasy tactics a2.
Both FFTA games are great!
so pleasant to finally meet another fan out in the wild :o
ffta was hard for me to get into mostly due to how alien it felt for me, someone who spent a decade with its sequel, and has over 2k(?) hrs in it. also not to mention the fact u can lock urself out of epic items without knowing (the fact u decide where named locations are and all, lol).
Since most games are often mentioned on the internet, I’m going to reach waaaaaaaay back to my childhood and mention Cartooners:
This was a game for kids to make their own cartoons. I spend so much time making all kinds of funny and weird stories. It was very basic, but it had me giggling every time.So I just invented a game.
I kinda like it a bit.
Of course, I’m not going to tell you its name or its rules, or I will have mentioned it on the internet, which will make it a paradox.Le fabuleux voyage de l’oncle Ernest (the translation would be Uncle Ernest’s Fabulous Journey, but I don’t think it’s been released outside of France)
I don’t remember much of the game but I loved it as a kid, around 9-10.
The game is about the traveling journal of our adventurer uncle: Ernest. From what I remember it’s like a virtual treasure hunt, trying to find clues to find our uncle. It’s a lot of minigames going through Africa, Istanbul, Borneo …
Oh I remember this game!!! I absolutely loved it. I played it in Dutch.
3D Movie Maker (1995) - Game for Windows 95
“What’s up Wanda” “Let’s sprint”
The delivery of those two lines are burned into my memory.
Inevitably every movie I’d make in that program would just be 2 characters karate kicking each other and then exploding
A game that’s never mentioned on the internet? Probably would have to be something that came on those shareware discs in the 90s then.
I’ll go with the Adventures of MicroMan
Based recommendation, microman was one of the earliest platformers I played. I still remember insert to shoot being an awkward keybind.
Enters first room
YOU WILL DIE
Quite the opening to that game.
Quartile
Closely followed by Mexican train domino
You just gave 2 links to places on the internet where people have mentioned it.
Cultures 2.
Battlezone 2: Combat Commander. When I started playing that, my brother and I had to face each other and use our laptops’ infrared ports.
Freelancer, very fun space sim that didn’t quite seem to get popular enough
Challenge accepted. Does anyone recognize Llamatron: 2112? I played it on Amiga, but I think it was also on Atari and DOS.
It was an acid trip “llamas are funny” parody of Robotron: 2084, and it was a fuckin’ BLAST!
Quest for Glory series. Got me into RPGs.
Hostile Waters: Antaeus Rising. It’s the only game in the Carrier Command-like subgenre of RTS that isn’t part of the Carrier Command series. Shockingly well written, too, for what it is.
Real shame there was no multiplayer, the campaign was good but I always thought it would be nice to have protracted battles before the bio organisms showed up.
