im trying to remember one game i used to really enjoy as a kid, all i remember is it was a shitty (by todays standards) FMV type adventure game, with dinosaurs i think, and i remember at the end you fight some boss that shoots fire balls at you and you drop down and go around the platform and grab this cube... thats all i really remember from that game
Oh shit. I know what game you're talking about but I too forget the name.
The main character was named Adam and it was some period of time that was lost where dinosaurs and man roamed the world at the same time. It was all point and click, and you had to go around with your friends and friendly dinos and get the parts of a cube. You had to avoid the "Tyran" which were T-Rex which agro'ed on sight. The end guy was some fire-spitting dragon, but because you had the last part of the cube, you shattered his illusion and won.

Lost Eden, I believe.
That's gotta be it.
holy shit it is... lol wow i didnt think anyone would be able to tell me what game this was... looking at it now... it doesnt really look like its worth playing through it again, i guess when your 8 everything is good lol
Subspace, now Continuum. Specifically Trench Wars. Nothing like dogfighting in a ship that takes thirty seconds to 180 and can only shoot every 5 seconds. (Leviathans 4 life).
Fuck your leviathans, you blue-bombing bastard!! Spiders 4 lyfe!! :P
I'll do you and everybody else one even better - ALL of it. Tyrian, OMF, DOOM, Descent, Blood, Quake, Warcraft - ALL of the old Dos gems. It'll be a Dostravaganza of epic proportions!
...provided I get around to writing a proper thread for it, of course...
Viscountalpha, sorry, I lied. You can't play Tyrian 2000 multiplayer over the internets. Netcode was removed for 2000 (seeing as it belonged to Epic, which weren't involved with 2000), you can however copy the netcode files from 2.0 shareware and play through all the first four episodes with Tyrian 2000's features.
Is there a specific guide for this, or just a simple cut-and-paste job of the 2.0 configuration files?
EDIT: I see what you did there.
I think we do need to resurrect (pardon the oncoming pun) Doom and doom 2 for online matches. Doom on the 360 is just sad and laggy to no end. (otherwise its great fun)

Oh, dudes. It's aaall about the terriers. Zoom zoom!
The amazing thing about Blade Runner is that it follows the same 'path' the movie did. The movie's almost completely different from Do Androids Dream, but at the same time it captures the spirit perfectly and is a brilliant film at the same time. The game does the exact same thing. Damnit, where'd I put that box...
Aw man, Raptor was awesome. The best part was that there were a large number of configuration options for loading out your jet. Once you started rolling in the cash it got pretty crazy.

I can't fly Terriers on my laptop. Key configuration is all wrong. With a real keyboard, and a good team (i.e. collecting bursts and warps), I've had my bounty hit four digits before.
Yes.... I want to hear the 'music' again now. Still remember that game from when I was a little kid (bit too young to catch it on release I'd imagine ) when it was on my dads pc. Good times.

EDIT: Yep, came out 2 years before my birth >_>
In a way, it was a sort of precursor to today's "microgames", like Warioware.
You jump into a window, perform some task, like catching mice or snatching fish from a tank, then jump back out and go to the next minigame.
And, yeah its music was brilliant considering it was produced by the PC-speaker.
I've still got a copy on 5.25" floppies. I'll have to find a drive in the garage and see if the disc still works, so I can try to run it on DOSBox.
Yep, I'm just doing the same now! It's funny, as a kid I can remember not really understanding what I was supposed to do... and yet I'd still play it.

I've got one- It's not nearly as old as some of the games here, but I'm pretty sure it's obscure enough. "Sub Culture" Anyone ever heard of it? You play as a six-inch person (species is questionable, only three fingers) who lives in a vast underwater society. Unnamed Protagonist spends his time freelancing in a submarine because his house was crushed by a can of Campbell's Chicken Noodle Soup. (Seriously, human litter is really nasty at that size) Anyway, UP does odd jobs for the other aquatic gnomes, carts around bottlecaps and cigarettes, gets trapped in faction wars, and gets nearly eaten by fish.
Jazz the Jackrabbit
I used to play this game a lot. its basically a 2d shooter version of sonic. its pretty fun actually. ooh interesting fact, I just found out Cliffy B helped make it.

This is one of the more obscure lucasarts games and probably actually falls under the category of obscure games no has played. It was cool how the game had no inventory and you had to play music to solve the puzzles.
It was supposed to be part of a trilogy too, it would be awesome if lucasarts made the other two games eventually. heck, they could probably make a deal to have you use the guitar hero remote. unfortunatly, lucasarts doesn't like making adventure games anymore :-(
Indiana Jones and his desktop adventures
This was a pretty amusingin game back when it was released because it had a huge array of adventures, so you would never really play the same game twice. its gameplay was semi-decent too.
Blackthorne sort of rules. Blizzard's most badass game.
The behind the shoulder shotgun blast to your chain-up allies is the single most hardcore move in gaming.

You really should try Tyrian 2000.
I still like some of the food ships alot. Has anyone done the blacknova stargate to the past? and succeeded?
Yes, really. It had tons of more options, dozens of more weapons, guidance systems, shield variations, parachutes and hover jets, gravity and atmospheric settings, tracers, etc. etc. etc. and the most important thing:
SIMULTANEOUS FIRING
Could you please wright the name of this game? I've been searching for it for a long time.

It was a budget Wing Commander / X-Wing clone with laughable 3D "FMV" and a really good plot.

"I was angry with my friend. I told my wrath, my wrath did end. I was angry with my foe. I told my wrath, my wrath did grow."
Reinstalled it today, thanks to this thread. Compatibility mode for the win. Westwood for the eternal win. :^:
Now playing: Teardown and Baldur's Gate 3 (co-op)
Sunday Spotlight: Horror Tales: The Wine
The finest video game soundtrack ever along with the delicious Skullmonkeys OST.
i think im gonna re install it.. had the time of mylife with it

Oh god, thank you thank you thank you!

Battletech: The Crescent Hawk's Inception:
The Ancient art of War:
GORILLA.BAS:
And, of course, Alley Cat:
You really should try Tyrian 2000.
edit: Also lol at Gorillas. Don't forget that snake game.
Yeah, NIBBLES.BAS was great too.

Mobygames don't let you link to their images.
Incidentally, I think Jazz Jackrabbit 2 was the last shareware game Epic made. Although it was also in stores.

Alien Carnage.
