its the same type of game they started out text based "look around" "pickup thing" "push button" which evolved into a mouse clicky adventure
https://www.scummvm.org/
and it seems the genre has somewhat died slightly seen in homosexual steam story dating games
I bought it recently after yeeears longing for it but my backlog is pretty stacked right now. Great to know the games still holds good despite being from last century
All things considered it's well written and has a cool setting, it's also on the short side, worst case you'll take four hours to go through the whole thing
I confess I got stuck in a few parts and had to use a walkthrough, but even then it was fun
Kind of a weird pick but Mashed is such a great racing game. I had owned Micro Machines V4 on the PS2 for such a long time but didn't realize this game was basically the suped-up version of it.
It's like Burnout and Mario Kart had a weird bastard child.
Mashed was so fun. My buddies and I discovered it on a magazine demo disk one day and ended up playing the demo all night. We liked it so much we went out on a mission first thing in the morning to buy the actual game. Being able to fire missiles to frick with people when you get knocked out was a great move.
I wasn’t really blown away by it the same way I was with the Monkey Island games or Grim Fandango but it had its moments for sure. Oddly enough I rather liked the shitty combat sections. Don’t remember much else about it, though.
This fricking game, man. You know when sometimes a retro title sneaks up on you and just grabs you by the balls? This was definitely one of those. The last time it happened for me was with Arx Fatalis, and even then I was convinced that no retro game would blow me away like that one did.
dungeon keeper, look into keeperfx to get it running smoothly on modern systems
I've heard about that one. Is it any good?
yeah, it's a classic
there's a sequel and some modern spiritual successors and while they make a noble effort, they never quite nailed it like the original
>This fricking game, man. You know when sometimes a retro title sneaks up on you and just grabs you by the balls? This was definitely one of those.
Me, but with Age of Mythology right now. I'm 13 missions into the campaign and it's been far, far better and more engaging than it has ANY right to be.
Oh, I remember getting annoyed with that, but I guess in terms of puzzle design it doesn't seem so bad to me. Like you know there's a secret spot somewhere on that wall, it's realistic that you have to search around a bit.
Played this late last year after having it on the backlog for ages, I remember a friend hyping it up back when it came out but never got around to playing it.
Finished Cataclysm as well earlier this year, both great games that still hold up amazingly well today. Couldn't get into Deserts of Kharak though, it just seems kind of lackluster in comparison.
>DayZ mod back at the start
50% of the time you'd break your leg by glitching through some stairs and then just crawl around for a few minutes before getting eaten
I was recently reminded of the Vigilante8 games, but it's been about 16 years since I last played them. Would you say they aged well? I might emulate them
>tfw could never figure out how to get out of the town as a kid >still took forever playing a few months back >finally finish it >shit only took like 3hrs max >that ending
i was so fricking mad at how shit it was, would always just watch my dad do the motorbike fights
frick the destruction derby as well
have you played space quest?
No, never heard about it actually

Cool, I'll take a look then, thanks anon
Also, is scummvm worth it over dosbox?
Old enough to have Full Throttle original disc but not know Space Quest?
Guessing alzheimer's hitting you huh old man.
I got it as a gift when I was a kid, my whole universe was like ten games, I only started knowing more about other ones from the 90's years later
+1 suggestion for Space Quest. It's hilarious
Most undeservedly forgotten racing game on the PS1 unless I'm forgetting something else right now.
My god, someone other than my cousins and I played this game. Damage system was surprisingly thorough.
burnout was an evolution of this plus it's not forgotten

I'm not puttin' my lips on that.
dosbox should work these days but scum was specifficalyl for a lot of these types
Thanks
did you like that stone pixel kicking puzzle?
bravo, peak iq required
What needed peak iq was the demolition derby or the minefield, that game really doesn't hold your hand

Fortunately, I was wrong.
What game on the pic?

I picked up this game with a used 360 and fell in love with it, just in time for the multiplayer servers to go offline. Glory to Morskov.
That fricking kick the wall puzzle still doesn't make sense
Yeah it really doesn't
I suppose there was some kind of miscommunication between the writers and drawers and/or programmers
It's been a while since I played, but what didn't make sense about it? Isn't it just a secret passage Maureen tells you about?
The stuff she said about a crack in the wall doesn't make sense with the art, you're forced to kick the wall randomly to find the right spot
Oh, I remember getting annoyed with that, but I guess in terms of puzzle design it doesn't seem so bad to me. Like you know there's a secret spot somewhere on that wall, it's realistic that you have to search around a bit.
Yeah. some other parts were considerably more annoying for me than that one
I'm not putting my lips on that.
I wish I played ace attorney earlier then I did. Those games made me love story based games again
Sell me on it. Looks kino
It's fun
Ultima 4. Clunky as frick to play today, but did it anyway and it blew my mind. Totally see why it was revolutionary in the 80s
I tried to play Ultima 6 a while ago, but I got stuck and ended up giving up, couldn't find the npc to progress the main story

QRD?
The only 3D RTS ever made
Not retro, but I regret not being able to play DayZ mod back at the start, when most people were joining in and weren't just metagaming
>DayZ mod back at the start
50% of the time you'd break your leg by glitching through some stairs and then just crawl around for a few minutes before getting eaten
What are some other top-tier point and clicks? I played Neverhood
The Dig is great for the atmosphere and unique soundtrack built from a ton of Wagner samples.
Any more?
Freddy Fish
A final unity is a good one, basically a two parter TNG episode
I was recently reminded of the Vigilante8 games, but it's been about 16 years since I last played them. Would you say they aged well? I might emulate them
What are Vigilante8 games about?
Drivin n shootin
I don't get why people say this game doesn't hold up, I played it for the first time in 2017 and I loved it
>tfw could never figure out how to get out of the town as a kid
>still took forever playing a few months back
>finally finish it
>shit only took like 3hrs max
>that ending
i was so fricking mad at how shit it was, would always just watch my dad do the motorbike fights
frick the destruction derby as well
I think I'm going to install pic related. What am I in for?
Foe years I have heard about this being the all time strategy classic. Only just now getting into it
What's so good about it?
This game shits on every single other platformer released in the 90s.
