If you need another early sci-fi RPG there's Albion, but that's for DOS and not console.

Kitty titties


Also, Albion is tricksy. Right from the very beginning you can start off with an actual weapon if you're careful and try to bend the rules.

I'm looking for a game that was a topdown spaceship shmup that I played when I was in highschool, maybe around 2007?, and I can't remember the name of it now. It was a simple game, where you have a single enemy, and every time you kill it, the next stage has it back bigger and stronger than before. It 'evolved' in accordance with how you killed it previously, so if you won by flying behind it and attacking its back, it would come back with extra armor and weapons on its back. Same thing for the front, and both sides. Eventually it'd get so goddamn big that it just consumed almost the entire screen and fighting it was nigh-impossible at that point.

You only had one weapon, a gatling bullet cannon, and you could either increase or decrease the spread of the bullets, and control where it was aimed, but that was it.

It was a free download game off the internet, and I really enjoyed it, I just can't remember the name of it...

Yeh, dat's Warning Forever. Took some googling to remember the name, too, but it popped up eventually!

Seems like a longshot, but I've always wondered if a game I remembered seeing ages ago was real.

I remember it being a tycoon game from the early-mid 2000s. Right around when that genre was popular, anyway. Premise was that you were running a game preserve for hunters. I only ever saw recall seeing it as an ad in a magazine, and then I couldn't find the magazine again.

Oh wild, someone else was asking about that early this year since Toady described it.  Yeah, Warning Forever.  It's the kind of intense fun that doesn't take up much time, but makes good use of every second.  A danmaku but without any story hooks to keep you going - only the pure gameplay that makes it timeless.

Thanks, that satisfies that irksome feeling of forgetting something that I feel I SHOULD be able to remember, but just can't.

OK ... I'm assuming it's not Sim Safari . . .

[Enemy post]

You know, it might be SimPark. I’ll look for ads, see if I recognize anything.

I'm going to try asking for this game again. It was a game where your character played some sort of mage and ran around killing monsters and doing quests. You could cast spells of various different elements, and the more you used an element, the more your body would change to fit which element you used the most (different clothes, facial hair, maybe some horns) and different bodyparts would change at a time, so you could mix and match them.

[Frumple]

Any idea so far as system, general timeframe, aesthetics or gameplay (turn based?), etc.?

[Sean Mirrsen]

I want to say it's a game I know, but the closest thing I can remember is called Evolva, and it's not it.

Maybe Dawn of Magic 2?

Oh! That's why I thought I remembered it!

It's a russian game, I read about it in Igromania way back when. "Blood Magic" (well, "Magic of Blood") is its local name.

I'd guess it was for the PS2, if not some random game I downloaded off one of those old "buy this and get access to hundreds of titles!" business models that used to exist. The graphics were definitely old enough. It was a real-time behind-the-shoulder game.

Maybe Dawn of Magic 2?

That looks sooooo familiar. But I don't remember the characters, I don't remember having armor to equip, I remember the camera being more over the shoulder, and it doesn't look like you transform based off magic usage anytime soon, while i remember it happening rather quickly. But WOW does that spell book look familiar.

That's got to be it, right? I'll just chalk the differences up to my false memories.

You may just be remembering the original game. DoM 2 is basically an expansion of the original 'Dawn of Magic' - after Blood Magic 2 failed to happen the publisher renamed the 'export version' of Blood Magic: Time of Shadows as a sequel.
