Fragile allegiance. Desperately needs a redo with a first person mode and better ui

I can't answer anything since lemmy is the internet and once I answer whatever I mention will breach the requirement by virtue of me (anyone) mentioning the game on lemmy (the internet).

Anyhow, I learnt about Diablo 2 from my cousins when I was 7 and played it a lot before knowing internet was a thing, does that apply the non fucked up version of your request?

[–] RandomVideos@programming.dev 2 points 8 months ago

I have said "seen" Technically, the comment is not on the internet until its submitted

You can just post it and quickly leave the app before its been submitted to the internet

Image Fight on NES. It's a top down scrolling shooter where you fly a space ship and pick up new weapons and attachments. I was terrible at it as a kid but I loved it and kept trying to progress further. I've thought about picking up a copy now but just haven't gotten around to it

[–] Gustephan@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Powder by Jeff lait. I think you can get it at a website called zincland or something?

It's an old school roguelike that absolutely slaps, though its gotten significantly harder to play since the wiki stopped being hosted

Favorites come and go with the seasons, but objectively, the one game that we have played more than anything in my house is Silver.

We've bought all the expansions and created our own variation of playing with ALL the cards.

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 2 points 8 months ago

Excluding all games you have seen mentioned by anyone on the internet

Well, shit, that makes my list really, really fucking small.

I guess Clutch? Literally never seen anyone mention it before, cheap carmageddon clone

Legretto

I was introduced to the game by an Austrian woman I dated in my 20s and 25 years later remains at the top of my list of party games.

Ligretto is a card game for two to twelve players. The game in its current form was designed by Michael Michaels and published in 1988 by the German company Rosengarten Spiele. Since 2000 the game has been published by Schmidt-Spiele of Berlin, Germany. - Wikipedia>

I don't see many people ever really talking about them at all outside of fans, but Krosmaga and One More Gate from Ankama.

Krosmaga is a deck builder autochess like game (with something like 9 or 10 different classes/dieties with different abilities to build around, alongside a bunch of non-specific cards any class could use in their deck). Place summons/spells to protect your Dofus (dragon eggs, to simplify what they are) and destroy theirs. Matchmaking is either play against computer, who randomly selects class and gets default deck, or just flatout random player. Don't think there's any selective matchmaking, sadly.

One More Gate is a short enough roguelite game where you accidentally destroy a portal and have to fix it by beating bosses in new areas, usually after multiple failed runs. Has meta progression, which I personally am not the biggest fan of.

Ok, any game that I've ever seen mentioned by someone online in my almost 30 years on the internet is going to strike most titles and leave only the ones that are really old, obscure, or both. So, here are a few that I like but can't recall seeing mentioned online other than when specifically looking them up:

  • Stunt Island. Airplane sim-like game by Disney studios. Early 90's
  • Rocking Cats. Awesome NES platformer that has a really fun take on the genre
  • Armadillo Run. Physics puzzle that a friend of mine recommended in the mid 2000s.
  • Sacrifice. Weird (the good kind of weird) first person strategy game I pirated once after finding it on an FTP. Fucking amazing game from somewhere in the early 2000s
  • A.r.s.e.n.a.l. An RTS from the late 90s. Don't send an attack without fuel trucks!

I haven't seen "The London Game" on the internet; that can be a lot of fun.

Most of the other stuff I like I've seen somewhere or other.

[–] CaptainBasculin@lemmy.ml 2 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Thinking about it, reducing my entire game library to not suggested titles anywhere decreases its size drastically. It easily knocks like 20 games I would list normally.

With that said, Last Command was a nice bullet hell game. Would reccomend

[–] Antium@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Cultures 2.

[–] Apeman42@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

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!

[–] BoxOfFeet@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Battlezone 2: Combat Commander. When I started playing that, my brother and I had to face each other and use our laptops' infrared ports.

[–] JusticeForPorygon@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Double Dare the videogame for the Nintendo Entertainment System

[–] AstralPath@lemmy.ca 2 points 8 months ago

Cogmind! I found that game after I bought Caves Of Qud. Technically it wasn't recommended to me by anyone directly (just found it one day scrolling through Steam). Its an excellent RPG where you play as a self-assembling robot trying to escape from a massive robot colony thing. Haven't gotten super far into the game yet but I absolutely love the gameplay and sound design. Check it out!

Also, NES Open; the greatest golf game ever made in my opinion. I've had it since I was a kid and have never heard anyone talk about it online. Simple gameplay, high skill ceiling. Exactly what a golf game needs to be!

Two gamecube games that I never see discussed anywhere, and no equal sequel has ever released for:

Cubivore & Frolf

I am still so sad to not be an owner of either in a physical capacity :’(

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 2 points 8 months ago

Gunstar Heroes. It was the first game I ever beat on my Genesis.

[–] nichtburningturtle@feddit.org 2 points 8 months ago

Dark Souls 1. The only game I bothered getting all achievements for.

[–] BastingChemina@slrpnk.net 2 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

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 ...

Gameboy color dinosaur JRPG / metroidvania that seemingly no one else has ever played. Called Dinosaur'us. I had to google the name there and it turns out there is a wikipedia page so it's not totally obscure - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dinosaur%27us

I loved this game as a kid! There are surprisingly few good dinosaur games (although admittedly a lot of good dragon ones).

Edit: only ever released in the UK - that explains a lot of why it was so obscure. The ROM is on emulator sites though if you are curious.

In Sound Mind, a really creative horror game by the makers of the popular "Nightmare House" mod. It has a great atmosphere, an interesting story, regularily goes on sale for 3 bucks, can be bought DRM free on GOG and has a fantastic soundtrack by The Living Tombstone (https://youtu.be/CBIQNiNBbYs ).

Also, there's a cute cat in the game you can pet.

Always liked Power Pete, and if you don’t have vertigo, the Descent series.
