It's really great alternative to childish 2D graphics from US and Japanese games. Death of Spanish gamedev in early 90's it's really sad thing.

French gamedev's make notable games also in later 80s - early 90s. Especially games from Loriciel, they have excellent atmosphere/setting and plot.

 

Many of these games even never translated to english language and not so much info you can find about them in Internets, but you can try  ;) .

 

Postapocaliptic "Kristor" and "Zone" make Fallout and Wasteland looks childish.

Epic Adventures in "Tera" and "Karma"

Space Opera "StarVega"

Prehistoric life in "Sapiens"

These games are true rarity.

Disappointed in the lack of "Tour de Force" on the box art there.

Oby you would have failed miserably in listing of international games unless you can find some South African games, lets make this thread have a global feel to it so people realize that games come from places all over the world :)

I was trying to think of a South African game, and the only themes I can think of are avoiding carjacking, and something based on the film Space Mutiny.

You are right, we aren't very good at software development for gaming purposes.

 

But don't tell Oby that :biggrin:

The department I work in has a disproportionately high number of Saffer ex-pats working for it. Apparently it's because it's because we share an obscure programming language with very few other institutions, one of which is apparently Woolworths of Seth Efrica.

It's actually pronounced "Sauth A'Frica".

That's interesting, what obscure language if you don't mind sharing?

Well, not so much a language as a (non-relational!) database management system with its own proprietary user language attached - the rather prosaically monikered "Model 204 User Language". Model 204.

"Model 204 User Language" sounds like some kind of terrifying apartheid era genetic modification program. If you see any cute monkeys DO NOT approach them.

Oby needs to become a Youtube gaming personality like Yahtzee or something

 

Not enough natural light for filming in the basement.

 

 

That can be easily simulated. This has been already shown more than 1000 times in movies which go really deep into adult themes...

Dark Earth should've been mentioned in list of French games. One of the best games that nobody knows.

 Clone of Resident Evil with Religious propaganda - do not want.

The constant need to evaluate a works adultfulness is something I mostly see in regards to video games, science fiction and fantasy novels, comics, and movies that are aimed at men.

 

 

Its because adult men feel a need to justify why they like things perceived as being "childish" because society expects them to put childish things behind them when they reach adulthood and start providing for families leaving their only avenue of self expression being to paint their torso in two colors as a way of showing support to the local teams on game day.

 

RE: the thread in general - I wish there was more depth on why these are super-great "epic games" instead of listing games and slapping up screen shots.  Also I really think its hard to justify a list of "most epic games" which includes games that haven't been released and thus the epic/lack of epic qualities are entirely impossible to evaluate.

I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man

Children's game serve as a way for children to explore their potential and as social conditioning that lets them know their place in a group. When they reach adulthood those game serve as an outlet for their unrealized potential, their frustration and as a means of escapism from an otherwise mundane existence. So just like all women still want to be little princesses, so do most men still want to be warriors and the like. 

 

On the thread: Better if the games a have no explanation, the explanation probably carries a virus.

I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"*
