Vague memories myself but I think I also remember a friend having it and would also be fair to call it related to something like civilization or master of Orion as a 4x type. Would have to go check it out again to see if I’m right or just mixing memories with other games we played around that time.
Maybe someone here will help me find a song that I listened to with a friend (and danced a lot) during a summer in the late 90s.
It was an electronic dance song which featured a a very raspy male voice singing in Spanish and would ocasionally make the “pull snot from the throat and spit” sound.
My friend and I have been for years trying to find it to no avail… :(
Decades ago, my dad bought a PC that came with a free CD for a game called Retribution. The box art looked unlike anything I’d ever seen before (basically 3D graphics at a time when the Mega Drive reigned supreme). Sadly, the disc didn’t work, but I’ve tried to get my hands on a copy, to no avail.
Looking at the graphics now, they weren’t even that good…but for the mid-nineties for a small child, absolutely amazing.
I remember coming across Mad Dog at a few arcades growing up (80’s kid). It had a great attract screen where McCree would taunt you if I recall properly. Thanks for the flashback. There was one or two other games like this. Also, the Sega holographic cube game was pretty legit looking but played like shit. It also used live video on a weird 3d plane.
It was my second attempt at making a game(the first time i wrote “horizontal” instead of “Horizontal”, making movement not work. I gave up for 2 years from making games because of that). It was made by me and a friend.
It was supposed to be a platformer in which you could kill enemies and bosses and have a lot of secrets. It was never published because we gave up
Found them on metal archives and am listening through youtube.
I’m only a few seconds in, and I immediately get some early Helloween vibes from the guitar tone and playing in Queen of Desire, which is entirely a good thing. Rest of the sound so far is a lot more heavy than power metal, but it’s right up my alley for a Christmas afternoon.
Slashers (2001) is a fairly unknown horror / comedy from the heyday of video stores. I rented it on a marathon weekend with my old movie crew and it instantly became a favorite. The “Slashers, super-fun!!” theme song is likely problematic at this point but I still find myself and the few remaining folks from that crew saying it at random when we get together.
Outside of that group though, I’ve never met another human that’s seen it. Albeit I’m not usually proselytizing about it like a weirdo… usually. Maybe at next year’s horror-con I’ll start.
I remember playing a game with my friend as a kid. I think it was around windows 95. You were a Mafioso and you could pick one of three businesses, one was a blow up doll factory. You had to plan heists by buying escape vehicles, such as tandem bikes, cars anong other things. I found it funny that only 2 people could escape in a transporter, because it had only 2 seats. The main goal i think was to steal from the comically large vault of the main mafia boss via submarine. My memory is very hazy, don't remember the name or anything else, but it was super fun.
A-Train DS, or A列車で行こう DS, a Japanese game about managing trains. Basically like Transport Tycoon/OpenTTD, but focuses on Japanese train. It was actually really good, it actually made me obsessed with Japanese trains. Coolest thing about this game is, you can actually “ride” the train you built. It was like a dream come true for childhood me.
Yet, I rarely heard anyone online talks about this game. I really recommend others to play this game… If you can read Japanese as I am not sure that there is English translation for this game…
Oh man, every time someone asks a question along these lines I always think of the movie Hank and Mike. I found it in a discount bin at a grocery store probably a decade ago so I took a little time to actually look into it more this time. I knew it was Canadian and unlikely a big hit, but apparently it was just so poorly received. It made less than $17,000 of the $2M it cost, and it’s real tough to find anyone even reviewing it. I even struggled to find the music from it. (The one song is badass). And it’s got a couple B-tier actors that I remember doing a great job, and I think Joe Mantegna really went for it in his role as the god Pan. Chris Klein kills it in this song.
The crude humor kinda puts people off I think but the satirical aspects cut a little deeper than the movie needed to. And probably when I discovered it I was depressed and had a drinking problem and the overall mood of it really felt at home to me at the time so I was able to just live in those aspects of the film and really absorb the more subtle message. It’s definitely absurd in many points but there’s a lot of heart in it.
I’m also on Connect. Despite the fact that developer occasionally is a bit slow, I found nothing better. It was annoying to be locked out of my main server when they silently upgraded to 0.19 and Connect dev did not add support for it for several weeks.
