So, this might be weird and I will be very surprised if anyone gets it. But I'm thinking of a multiplayer game about hacking. I 100% know the game was Java-applet based. Basically, everyone in the game had a computer server, and it emulated hacking. The scripts in the game were all handwritten; you would write a firewall program that would alert you if another player tried to hack you, you would write a program that would break into other players servers and then start re-routing their resources to yourself. There was also a market for selling the programs you wrote to other players through an online market.

That's about all I can remember. I'm pretty sure the game had "Hack" in the URL and also it's not the other hacking game we had a thread for before, Slavehack, which is a lot of fun.

Some further investigation found it. The game was HackWars.net, but the website is currently defunct. Rest in pieces.

There's this pixel art Dredd/Robocop-inspired sidescroller I read about a while ago. I think JYDGE is conceptually similar, but no, it's not it.

I think it's in Early Access right now, but I can't for the life of me remember its name, so I can't find it.

Any help?

miniLAW?

miniLAW?

Yes, yes, yes. That's it! Thanks.

How is that game called where you go around through 2D procedurally generated partially-destructible levels shooting enemies, and the main gimmick is that enemies drop improvements for your shooting that stack additively at the same time, i.e. you could get splitting addon and piercing addon and then each attack of your would both split and pierce through enemies?

Sounds like Binding Of Isaac, though it could be a lot of things I think.

No it's not that. It's 2D side-view, not top-down.

Trying to remember a TBS/wargame from the early '00s (maybe late '90s, but I doubt it). The premise was that various fantasy races invaded modern Earth through dimensional portals or whatever and you had to repulse them with tanks, artillery, and such. I wanna say eastern European developer, but I really can't remember.

[Sirus]

Sounds like an adaptation of that Gate manga/LN/anime. Was it anime-styled?

[Frumple]

It's pretty much absolutely certain it's not a GATE spinoff, given the suggested year range. GATE's manga didn't even start until 2011, nevermind anything else. Books didn't even start until mid '00s, heh.

That said. That sounds hella' like spellcross, and the devs were indeed eastern european or summat like that.

Pretty great game for its time, incidentally. Aged decently, too.

[E. Albright]

Yes, thanks, Spellcross was what I was looking for. I played it years after its release (hence my sketchy grasp of when it came out), but it still held up well, yeah.

This one was an educational game that I played about 15 years ago I think?It had Yellow creatures of some sort teaching electric currents, sound waves, and lenses and lights used to hatch eggs. It was very catoon-y. Dont remember much other then that, sadly.

[MCreeper]

Creatures, i guess? Yellow and cartoony creatures, don't sure about the other things.

Modern JRPG. Combat is organised with teams of characters, and sort of operates on a rock-paper-scissor basis.
