Best obscure & ancient PC games?

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.
Let 'em eat fucking pineapples!
Lost Eden, I believe.
Let 'em eat fucking pineapples!
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
It was a budget Wing Commander / X-Wing clone with laughable 3D "FMV" and a really good plot.
Fuck your leviathans, you blue-bombing bastard!! Spiders 4 lyfe!! :P
"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
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 god, thank you thank you thank you!
Oh, dudes. It's aaall about the terriers. Zoom zoom!
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.
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
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.
My copy's broken. ::sad::
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.
Loom
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.
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.
The behind the shoulder shotgun blast to your chain-up allies is the single most hardcore move in gaming.
Alien Carnage.
End of discussion.
I still like some of the food ships alot. Has anyone done the blacknova stargate to the past? and succeeded?
