An Old Rpg

[KaLibEr]

i remember playing this old computer game many years ago...
its kinda like an rpg where u collect gold (or sumthing yellow) for powerups? i can definatly recognize it by a screenshot...

[Borodin]

If you were told that somebody needed to find an RPG, and you used gold to advance your character, would that immediately bring one game to mind, or one hundred? ;) Give us as much detail as you can.

[JJXB]

what year was it released?

[KaLibEr]

:( i dont rember. if i did, i would say as much as possible... but all i rember is that it was awsome.... can u guys say a few games that might match? i'll look them up and say if that wut it is..

year? no idea, but the graphics rnt good - pixalated- so im guessing its pretty old... at least 8+ years

[The Fifth Horseman]

Don't be a fool, there were several hundred RPG games back in the days, and what one calls awesome another calls crap.

Maybe you remember some spell, character or town names? This might give use a hint...

[Mad-E-Fact]

hmm... collect yellow stuff... yellow rings maybe? Sonic the Hedgehog? :D

[moondog]

ye, the only game that keeps popping into my mind is Sonic the Hedgehog :crazy:

[KaLibEr]

no its def not sonic.... i think it has sumthing to do with space? or diff planets or sumthing

[Wael]

Topdown?
Isometric?

Experience?

Anything at all?

[KaLibEr]

i just looked up those games, and no its not them.... i really dont remmber the plot, i just know that ur a type of warrior... something medival? or maybe it was a space suit or sumthing. cant rember :cry: :cry:

[Wael]

Try to search,

Earlier Ultimas
Earlier Might & Magics
Some of the golden box series [Death knights of Krynn, Champions of Krynn, Pool of Darkness etc etc...]
Wasteland?

[Kon-Tiki]

Around which year did you play it? Got any idea what the graphical quality was? (CGA? EGA? VGA?) That would narrow it down too, as there're almost no RPGs that don't match your description, especially the either medieval or space suit part. That kinda sums up each and every RPG, except a few :D

[Mad-E-Fact]

Actually, the description he has given fits about 50% of all games ever made, not only RPGs... need more details! ;)

[Wired]

I'm not trying to be a [lower, back, part of the body... you know what we sit on?], but if you can't remember anything from the game I don't understand why you feel the need to play it again :D

[KaLibEr]

i used to play it around 8-10 years ago.... i was like 5 so i dont really rember it that well... but i used to play it for hours cuz i loved it. its kinda similar to Pokemon on gameboy, where u c ur character from above and then you walk around. the items on the floor u cant really c, but u c a rought outline of sort. you hav to walk up to it and it then tells you what you what u hav found. (like in pokemon, all item look the same. you hav to go up to it and select it so c what you got) :help:

[Wael]

Nethack?

Could it by any chance been any ascii game?

Anything like this? (http://www.terstiege.de/adom2.php)

[Yamcha]

Isnt this God of Thunder?

[GraveDigger]

Spelunker: Go down in the mines, collect gold and yellow lamps. Light lamps to get rid of approaching ghosts. Does this ring any bell?

Oh oh oh! Perhaps, one of the earlier Might and Magic.

[KaLibEr]

its not ascii.... God of thunder seems very similar to wut im talking about... those type of graphics and game play.... many differenrt colors, not all in one tone/black and white

[Kon-Tiki]

Top-down, Zelda-like game from mid-90s, which was either fantasy or space and featured golden rings... narrows it down quite a bit. Let's see which games're like God of Thunder.

[KaLibEr]

they rnt rings.... sumthing like tresure chests? or piles of gold?

[GraveDigger]

Seems like Heimdal ?

[Kon-Tiki]

Hehe, good guess. Let's see...
Heimdall (http://www.mobygames.com/game/shots/p,2/gameId,2072/)
Heimdall 2 (http://www.mobygames.com/game/shots/p,2/gameId,1135/)

[ReamusLQ]

Oooo, God of Thunder...isn't that the game where you are the red headed thor, and you throw your hammer around?

[GraveDigger]

God of Thunder is this game:

[Kon-Tiki]

Not to mention God of Thunder is days of fun. Play it through in one day, then play it through again the next day :D

Cadaver (http://www.mobygames.com/game/shots/p,2/gameId,1980/)... for some reason, I really dislike that game and always've thought it sucked arse.

[GraveDigger]

Sucked Arse? Hmm, the act seems like a delightful adventure in the true sense of it. :D

But, I'm sure the game KaLibEr wants is Cadaver....

[KaLibEr]

nope sry.. .those rnt it... its more of top-down view rather than at an angle... and u cant really c ur character that well

[Mad-E-Fact]

It can't be Cadaver, when he played it at an age of 5 he wouldn't have gotten far in that game. ;)

[KaLibEr]

:bleh: why? is it hard? :ph34r:

Quite so. Furthermore it's pretty gloomy and gory, not exactly food for toddlers. :)

[Krafty]

what? are you guys serious? it's quite obvious that he's talking about pacman :D
collect those yellow dots, get those fruits and earn points... that was an easy one LOL

[KaLibEr]

LOL nope sry :blink:

[Durak]

You're obviously talking about Commander Keen! :Brain:

...If you're not, I don't know what else anyone spends their time on. LOL

[Kizzikat]

Does anyone remember Digger? You had to find gold in that one too. :D
