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

[Joggerino]

War Wizard reminds me of the game but it's not it.

 

[Iluvcheezcake]

Wet: The Sexy Empire

You are starting WarWizard in the small cabin and then arrive to the big city.
mondblut is absolutely right, he remembered most of the shareware Ultima clones.
I could add only this one:

And probably this one SSI game as well:

Warwizard really reminds me a lot of this game but looking at this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L1MKoA4C26U it's 100% not what i played. In my case you start in a village, with several houses and other people around. And the big city is different. Thanks for the suggestions

"almost no info" is understatement

Looking for an RPG with lots of brown, is like looking for a person with a head. I think that mobygames site might help!

If you find a game that kinda looks like the one you're searching for graphics or gameplay-wise, and is from roughly the same era, googling "Games similar to [X]" also brings up a bunch of possible matches.

That's a good call, thanks!

More names: Dragon Lore the legend begins, World of Aden, Anvil of Dawn, Dragonrider the Chronicles of Pern, Nemesis The Wizardry Adventure, Tlon a Misty Story.

World of Aden

It's Thunderscape on the second page.

Anvil of Dawn

It starts within a castle and then moves into the captured Gryphon Keep, not a cave.

I haven't played it. These days I've been looking for old games and I have a lot of names. Supposedly it was game of the year or rpg of the year in 1995.

Yep. AoD is a very good game. It was a bad year for the genre, though, games were few and far between. AoD, Stonekeep, Thunderscape, Ravenloft 2. Shareware RPGs helped. It was a year of Exile 1, for example.

All I remember: It is a western-style PC RPG. It may be well-known or hardly known. It came out around 1999 ish to early 2000's. (Pretty sure it was widescreen, and not much UI). I think there was a party but maybe not. It was a singleplayer/offline game, I doubt it had a multiplayer. It had a 3d world, low polygon like most stuff from that time. It was either first person or third person or similar. Near the start you go into a big cavern with high ceiling and the walls are slanted and it's all brown like it's made out of mud or brown stone.

That's about all I can remember. I think what I had was a demo from a magazine or website. I got EverQuest in 1999 and played this game at a similar time and it was single player, and kinda similar look. I thought this looks pretty good but I'd rather stick with EQ for now. And then years later I forgot what it was :c

Can you recall the magazine? PCGamer or something?

Well, I can go through myabandonware.

If PC only then not Abandoned Places 1-2

Amberstar...
Amulets & Armor
Arx Fatalis...
eh just scroll through each. Its only 60 pages of games.

edit---
Maybe I should download all of these. Seems abandonware is slowly becoming STEAMWARE!

[AdolfSatan]

Any of the King's Field games? Some were PSX, some PC

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

I could add only this one:

I should get back to Azalta. Its fucking easy to map the cities & dungeons (the continent is a fucking mess though).

I'd edit the text screen though....

Edit....
I so wanted to get a developer copy of this but nada. Returned as address wasn't valid. Oh well.

 

[Tihskael]

It must have been Todd's magnum opus. Came out in 1998, its called TES Adventures - Redguard. Your brain probably tried to suppress the memories of playing it because its too good and its genius needs to be enjoyed afresh every 25 years or so.

Your description of the brown walls and timeframe reminded me strongly of this:

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 believe that description fits Teudogar and the Alliance with Rome. Is that it?

Hey thanks for the suggestion. I actually managed to download and run the demo without any problems https://web.archive.org/web/20160324183107/http://www.teudogar.com/downl.htm
It's not that game, and in Teudogar NPCs move independently from the player so it's not the system i described.

I found the game thanks to you! It is not Teudogar but from the same developer, his earlier game Darghul. The game is pretty obscure but i managed to find a YT video and it matched perfectly how i remember it. It seems that the developer was making a remake of darghul as late as 2013 but there's no info after that. https://web.archive.org/web/20130914071650/http://darghul.com/newe.htm By the way, the game was only released in German so that's probably why it was so hard to find. https://www.mobygames.com/game/darghul
Thanks again!

iirc, in combat you and your opponent move at once, roguelike style.

Nice, glad I could help.

 

[Bastardchops]

It's not Vampire the Masquerade: Redemption?

 

[Bastardchops]

. 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.

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

I remember playing this.

Check our archived hosted forums. Developer posted here, as I remember.
