Two disappointments with that game story wise

Evil church is kind of boring, and there could have been something actually interesting with a love triangle and they didnt explore it

VashTheStampede · Sunday at 3:05 PM

I spent SO many hours playing this on my Tandy 1000 as a kid.

Agree with the latter but at the time the former was mind-blowing to me because I had never seen a video game do that. I thought it was illegal or something lol

I agree bits of GAA can be slow (were you not entertained by the window tax?) but I agree with Kelly's assessment that the cases are more fun to play and more logical.

Shlomes does have a pay-off too.

GA2 starts off a bit slow, but the pay-off is really good (even if the ultimate conclusion was a bit predictable, none of the steps to get there really were, but they were logical [except the choice of prosecution] and interesting). And by the end, you see why the first half of GA2 played out the way it did. Overall, really enjoyed the series. Great games.

I p much game console-only nowadays, but I imagine Max Payne 1 and 2 on consoles would be a pain in the ass to play

All 3 Max Payne games are supposedly playable on modern Xbox systems, if that's the issue.

Otherwise, waiting for the remastered editions of the first two by Remedy to come out is probably the way to go. According to Wikipedia, it's expected to get a release on PS5, XBOX Series S/X, and Windows and is using the engine they made for Quantum Break, Control, and Alan Wake 2.

Oh, I didn't realize there were actually confirmed remakes coming out. I thought Vash was memeing/being hopeful.

Next game:

Fool's Requiem · Sunday at 4:11 PM

Super Mario 64

Fool's Requiem · Sunday at 4:12 PM

I considered doing something like that, except just having a portion of the screen visible and let people try to figure out what game its from.

Smacktard · Sunday at 4:19 PM

You got it. I really just wanted to do that one for a while and see how easy it would be to guess haha

Fool's Requiem · Sunday at 4:27 PM

VashTheStampede · Sunday at 4:49 PM

Cel Damage?

Looks kinda like a Fable game.

Fable 3?

Smacktard · Sunday at 5:03 PM

I was thinking Fable, too.

TD · Sunday at 5:17 PM

I'd recognize those daggers anywhere.

Kingdoms of Amalur, underrated game.

I specifically picked a nondescript image that had the daggers because I knew a Real Dude would know from that.

TD · Sunday at 5:22 PM

Okay let's see if anyone gets this...

VashTheStampede · Sunday at 5:25 PM

I've watched a speedrun of this but I'll wait and see if anyone else knows it

Jawneh · Sunday at 5:29 PM

Among all the weird, freaky, but also hilarious games out there, LISA is definitely one of the best. Helps that it also takes after Earthbound.

dimmerwit · Sunday at 5:35 PM

Nightmare fuel - the game.

Yup, you got it.

Definitive edition was recently on sale on the Playstation Store so I nabbed it so I can dive back into it when I'm in the mood.

Jawneh · Sunday at 5:37 PM

I found a gif instead and it's amusing to me. So y'all get this instead of a screenshot.

A physical edition of this finally came out on the Switch about half a year ago. I hear it's a really unique experience even in spite of the Earthbound similarities

This looks like a top-down MMORPG I used to play that was pretty dope. You could reach max level in like an hour or two.

It's definitely unique enough to separate it. I won't get too into it because that first playthrough if you know very little about it is a special kind of fun. Gotta be a fan of weird games though.

None of these things are relevant to this game.

If I remember right, that gif isn't even a cropped out from anything.

I actually managed to know games on this page lol. I don't follow the thread though to guess though

Wait, fuck, I think I might know what it is....

TowerFall?

I thought TowerFall was just bows...maybe thats just the version I played.

It looks like a cuter version of Noita but I know thats not it. I have no guess.

Oh maybe you're right. It looks so familiar though... I wish I could remember the name of that MMORPG I was talking about too. Shit was fun

Nopers.

Though Towerfall is fun.

Jawneh · Monday at 2:35 AM

Couple small things as hints:

It's a side-scroller.
The gif is from a cutscene.

I first tried to find a list of games that reference that classic LoZ line, but no one fucking has it.

So I looked up "Caves of Legend" and found it immediately.

Reventure

Ye. Unless someone else gets it or wants to still try, I deem you the victor.

SIDE QUEST:

I don't think I'll ever get here in time to get one so here's a contribution. The only game my mom ever played, and she got INTO it. Hand drew out a full map, made her own strategy guide...it was crazy how much she liked it.

A Vaguely Ambiguous Username · 2025-06-24T15:58:17+0100

Let me know if you need any hints on that one. I don't think it's a commonly played one.

I believe it is the SNES port of Star Wars: The Clone Wars. In the image, you see the boss battle between General Kenobi and General Grevious. They couldn’t capture the droid audience, but they did a fairly good representation of the setting

Close. It's for the NES.

Jawneh · 2025-06-24T16:26:42+0100

This is clearly Legend of Zelda: The Lost Levels. Instead of Ganon, you're fighting this Nosferatu ass looking ass.

I was flip flopping between the two systems. It was the HP and item section on the bottom that made me guess SNES

Fuck it thought it was for Ouya. Back to the drawing board
