sorophx Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 the only trend I've noticed so far is that 15 years ago RTS games were really popular Walsingham said: I was struggling to understand ths until I noticed you are from Finland.

Oner Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 Also, what PC game isn't obscure to players with heavy console background? Based on that we might as well list any game ever, only a fraction of Earth's population know of them after all.

Rostere Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 anyway, Beyond Oasis and Comix Zone were kinda cool for Genesis games. oh, and Gorkamorka was pretty sick too. Gorkamorka? For the Genesis? :S "Well, overkill is my middle name. And my last name. And all of my other names as well!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sorophx Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 no, the one for PCs forgot to add that small detail. by the way, I just tried looking Gorkamorka games up, and there don't seem to be any. but I remember playing it, something is wrong here...

Purkake Posted September 16, 2010 Author Share Posted September 16, 2010 Also, what PC game isn't obscure to players with heavy console background? Based on that we might as well list any game ever, only a fraction of Earth's population know of them after all. The ones that went multiplatform or have a recent release in the series. The original idea was to list games that you think are obscure to other people. Obviously it won't be obscure to everyone, but it might clue some new people in and make a nice round hive mind in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember there being a demo though. No wait, there wouldn't be a pc demo for a dc game. Now I'm confused.

sorophx Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 (edited) right, it was a PC demo, now I remember. the game got canned, yeah. maybe wiki is wrong about the dreamcast part edit: since we're talking vehicular combat, Bandits was a nice game for PCs, but I found it quite difficult. also, Rock n'Roll Racing 2: Red Asphalt for playstation (haven't played this one in a while).

SteveThaiBinh Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 I bought it from Steam, around the same time I bought Ceville, and I'm looking forward to playing in the next few weeks. I finished Ceville last week, and that was pretty good - deserving of a sequel. "An electric puddle is not what I need right now."

Calax Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 I think everyone has heard of the Myth series Eh, not usually. At least not in my social circle, it was kinda an invisible because not many people played games/RTS's at the time. Also it as initially a Mac title. Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition!

entrerix Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 everyone i know who games is at least a little familiar with myth, but thats not important, what IS important is how goddamn good those games were and still are. Killing is kind of like playin' a basketball game. I am there. and the other player is there. and it's just the two of us. and I put the other player's body in my van. and I am the winner. - Nice Pete.

RiverS Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 right, it was a PC demo, now I remember. the game got canned, yeah. maybe wiki is wrong about the dreamcast part Multi-platform games have existed for a long time. Gorkamorka was going to be released for Windows and for the Dreamcast. anyway, Beyond Oasis and Comix Zone were kinda cool for Genesis games. oh, and Gorkamorka was pretty sick too. Gorkamorka? For the Genesis? :S There's never been a Gorkamorka game for the Genesis. The Genesis was discontinued in 1995, the wargame Gorkamorka wasn't released until 1997. The video game was going to come out later, approximately October 2000. Either way, the Windows demo is still out there. It barely works and would never pass for a demo these days, but it's out there if you want to find it. Random bit of trivia: In the opening video for the Gorkamorka video game one Ork kisses another, which is more than a little weird, given that there are no Ork women, and even if Orks were known to be gay, they're asexual and have no concept of sexuality. There's a single female Orc that's a Blood Bowl cheerleader, but that's all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reen Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 As from my personal experience no one has ever heard of "Techno Mage" though it was a rather short but nice piece of entertainment around 2001. What I really enjoyed back then (when it suited my age) was "Torin's Passage", a funny 2D-adventure (which is a freeware today). Anyone ever heard of that? My goal: To make enough money to hire Jeremy Irons, voice of Scar from the Lion King, to follow me around and do my dialogue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
