Help me find an old game with almost no info? :P

[curds]

Vampire: The Masquerade - Redemption?
Dark Earth?

 

[Red Hexapus]

Summoner?

 

[Fowyr]

Soulbringer, btw, had a cave just around the corner. Plus, if it was a demo, starting location could be changed to a new one.
Do you at least remember its combat? RT or TB? Thunderscape had a very brown cave on the first level. It's from 1995, though.

 

[Red Hexapus]

You could try checking through MobyGames too. With some filters applied it might be of use:

[Dr Skeleton]

Crusaders of Might and Magic, maybe? Not much of an RPG, but it's from 1999 and the demo was in a cave level.

 

[Orud]

Asghan : The Dragon Slayer (1998) ?

The demo started in you on a dock in some mountains, quickly causing you to go down into caves. Even the outside had heavy dark brown, cave-like colors.

As for the gameplay; regular sword fighting was 3rd person (as shown in the screenshots), but when using the hand crossbow (hidden in your metical arm) you'd switch to a first person view.

this was named in the third post and he already said no, don't some of you read the whole thread?

Woops, my bad. The questioned lingered in my head while doing some work and I had only glanced over that particular comment.

Wait, it's not Rune, is it?

 

[Hellion]

^Was just about to suggest Rune.

After the tutorial you get shipwrecked and enter some underwater caverns.

Vampire: The Masquerade - Redemption?

[mondblut]

"almost no info" is understatement

 

[OracleX]

I know that feeling, I have a memory of playing an RPG when I was a kid I never managed to find again and it's really annoying

Did you try asking the Dex's help too? I pretty much found all my old games from my younger years. The now dead website TheUnderdog was great help in that. Memory can also do funny things tho, I do found a game but my describtion turned out the be quite false. Hope the OP will manage and that may you find your missing title too.

No, I never asked but I remember quite well how it looked and I've never found it in 20 years of searching, must have been an early freeware or shareware dos game

 

[covr]

Heretic 2 was all brown and 3rd person

 

[mondblut]

Can you be more specific than the op?

 

[Fowyr]

Then describe it. First person or not? Tile-based or isometric? Party or solo? TB or RT? Separate combat area or not? CGA/EGA/VGA? Was it really a DOS game or early Win 3.11 (as Exile and The Depths of Dejenol).
Year?

Heretic 2 was all brown and 3rd person

I thought about it, but doesn't it has a pretty colorful areas? Probably, I confuse starting areas with later ones.

 

[Grauken]

Tile-based, definitely a Dos game, I played it somewhere between 1990 and 1994, but I assume it was either older or a freeware/shareware game by a single creator

You're this stick-man going through a top-down dungeon from room to room and as you explored you uncover what is in each room. There could have been some fog of war. Visual were all in black and white, and very simplified. Combat I think was either TB or you stepped on a tile and either survived the monster or not (too long ago to remember). the main goal was to find treasures I think. Levels were randomly generated. There might have been other encounter besides combat and treasures but I'm not entirely sure.

Edit: definitely not any Ascii roguelike btw. though the gameplay was rogue-ish somewhat, only very primitive, I don't think you had any equipment (though I could be wrong, sadly its too long ago)

Sounds like something Telengard-inspired. It pretty much describes its (at least dnd) gameplay.

I found an old Mac game (The Dungeon Revealed) a couple of years ago that looked exactly like what I remembered, but I had no access to a mac at the time (neither me or any of my friends) so I can't have played that, but maybe it was either an unofficial port or somebody made a freeware pc game based on it

 

[Don Peste]

Grauken You already tried here right?

I also have an RPG that I'm looking for a very long time. It looked similar to Ultima 7 and it had a kind of TB system where the AI only acted when your character acted. I don't know how you call that system?

I call it Rogue-likish TB. See Eschalon Book One for another CRPG example.
Year? Operation system? VGA? Party or solo?

I found it in the Don Peste's link. Just look at the gamelplay.

I played it in the late 90's on windows 95/98. I'm pretty sure it was solo, graphics were between ultima 6 and 7. I remember starting the game in a village and then arriving at a walled city. There was a market and you could buy goods by talking to the vendors but you could also just pick them up from the table and get beaten up by guards and thrown into the city jail.

Any of these look the part?
