Lost and forgotten (except by us)

I'm getting super frustrated by memories of a roguelike I played in the early 00s.

It was post-apoc and you got new mutations when you levelled up.

It was so long ago that I barely remember any more than that.

Sounds like Caves of Qud.

This was much older, but yes similar from what I remember.

Alpha man? I think it was called like this. There was an abandoned LP here IIRC.

Holy shit, that was it. I've been trying to remember the name of it for the last few weeks.

One of the best simulators there ever was! The versatility of imaginative air-crafts, the bravado, the story and its twists!
...and the Abu Simbel mission... heh, git gud you silly reviewers!

I remember playing the demo back in the day. Never got past that though. This is a game that somehow has just reminded me of the original Rogue Squadron. Were these RS games any good?

I believe RS is even better than X-Wings or TIE-Fighters because they unfurled/expanded every element of the game genre back then.

Anyway, I came here to put these up. I loved playing these two games.

Iron Lord, C64

OMG, they used Gaudete as soundtrack!
A bit of a weird choice, given that it's a Christmas carol.
Also, here's a parody of it to ruin your childhood with (or maybe not):

Forget about the game, but the intro is truly endearing.

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

And to think i could have bought that and kept it shrinkwrapped.

You could buy this!

I'm surprised promotional thong wasn't included in the box.

Wikipedia hover pop-ups over links are a wonderful thing...

Board game is from 2010. It could be separate product.

Wiki used to use better pictures.

Adventures of Robin Hood, Amiga

Played Iron Lord on PC/DOS.

Could never make it out of the stupid archery contest. The game was not bad though, have good memories of it.

This was one of the most innovative strategies out there at its time. Heck, even by today's standards which are often just elaborated and embelished Dune II and Warcraft offsprings

Rogue Squadron doesn't hold a candle to X-Wing (much less Tie Fighter) - it's a consolized, simplified popamole shooter with none of the simulationist aspects of the PC games. Completely different genres.

[KeighnMcDeath]

I posted on the space wreck thread about a space exploration game I played and Noctis was suggested. I think it might have been a game/program by an observatory or something but Noctis seems closest. Another game of interest is Project:Nomad.

Too bad this game didn't catch on like Bloodrayne. I love the whole occult FBI concept.

I played the first act when it was released, and it was very atmospheric, indeed. Quite enjoyed it. Somehow I never made it to the second and third acts, so maybe time to revisit the game.
