The game took place way out in space and the goal of the game was to get all of the various pieces together in in order to improve the ship. You had to send out a ship that would go out to get resources and if you were gathering resources too long a giant worm would come. It was a pretty fun game and I'd like to re-buy a copy of it.
Any ideas of the name of the game?

I mean I guess the Ur-Quan are essentially giant worms.
My suggestion would be to give a rough time that the game was out to help anyone who might remember it.
I even seem to remember it advertised on Penny Arcade a long time ago something with a name like "Outpost"? Had a attractive woman that looked like a mechanic?
It was an older game, at least in the early 00's. Maybe even a little before that. Was definitely worth a shot. Thanks for everyone's help.
it was porky's
Thank you for your help in jogging my memory.
If you would like to keep playing "name that game" there is another game I'm trying to remember that was a sort of cartoonish zelda like RPG with real time fighting for the PC that was shareware
The premise was that giants invaded the land and you were a prince whose castle was attacked. The goal of the game was to wander around finding a way to defeat the giants. There were a variety of towns where you could upgrade your armor and weapons.
my giant will invade your land
That game got so much LAN play back in the day.
It became less fun once we figured out all the imbalances though.
there should be more third person action/base building games
I might end up doing this again. Would anyone else like to give it a whirl?
Durr on me.
Correct. I couldn't remember the name of that accursed game for the life of me last night. However, with the responses, this might actually be a pretty fun thread.
"Name That Game!"
Now I just need a good "game show host" looking icon.
I suggest either Guy Smiley or Wink Martindale.
Because old games are awesome
Did you guys know that the entire Quest For Glory collection is now available on GoG for $10!?
Everyone go buy it.
I bought this game.
It's hard.
I've got it down to a science now. I can dominate the galaxy in no time.
Well it's mostly just trying to navigate the dated interface that is hard.
You're a dated interface! MoO2 is perfect! PERFECT!
Civ IV is probably the least arcane but it's still kinda confusing.
My introduction to 4X space games was Sword of the Stars.
I am spoiled.
that's a great game right there
crucial to the development of a lot of boys
anyway you were a tough guy(TM) in some sort of government building, shooting various thugs, and all the levels were inside and everything was marble floors and american flags and water features
i am also suddenly vaguely remembering an outdoor stage with wooden cabins and a hedge maze. it was sorta bloody in the same way marathon was
i will suck ya'lls dick if anyone can remember what this game is. i think i got it on a mac freeware disk when i was a kid
Good idea. I updated the thread title.
As of late I've been loving on Steam's new Sega Genesis emulation. "Sword of Vermilion" is a good one. "Shining in Darkness" is ok-ish but it gets old super quickly.
they're all fresh to me since my first system was a psone
we beat final fight 3 last night and it was ridiculous/awesome
