Yup, first one is Return Fire, I'm playing it atm hehe... and it's rather CTF.

Yes! Return Fire! Excellent, thank you!

The other game seems a bit like archon, perhaps a newer version or ripoff?
It's not that old, i think because it had more graphical wise than that oldie. :]

Dont remember much more than it gave you a certain number of points (or maybe you got to chose how much) that you could buy characters for, there were Water-men, Fire-men, mages and just huge red horn-monsters. You played it turned base in some sort of high-third-person point of view, in a chess way where you had one side and your opponent the other. When you reached an opponent the game switched to top-down view and you got to controll the monsters in a 1-on-1 with your controls, i think each had 2 attacks or something like that, i remember the water men being able to throw a piece of their arm or charge blindly forward. Sort of.

Thanks for the help guys; It's troublesome having small mental images of these old great games and not knowing the names.

Thanks again!
I'm going for Return Fire now!

I checked the Return Fire and found out that it was made by 3DO Interactive.

I think that company is ESA protected...

Where did you see that? Moby lists the following:
For 3DO: Prolific Publishing, Inc. & Silent Software
For PlayStation: Midway Games West, Inc. & Silent Software
For Windows: Williams Entertainment Inc. & Silent Software

While Midway is an ESA company, it is the Windows (PC) version that would matter to us. I think it is a safe bet to assume that Silent Software owns the copyright for this game. However, I am still a bit unsure about the game's status, as the second game is sold. Chances are that the first one is also sold somewhere.

I checked it from the old computer game magazine I had.

The second one sounds vaguely like Battle Chess... But that could just be my memory playing tricks on me...

A finnish magazine, Pelit.

I also checked the game on wikipedia and it also says that its made by 3DO Interactive.

I found the 2nd game!

Dark Legions by SSI; apperently some sort of sequel to Archon.


Thanks a bunch, Mission complete. :]

The Wikipedia article doesn't say it was made by 3DO Interactive, but that it was made for the 3DO console.

Return Fire is a 1995 video game developed by Silent Software, Inc. for the 3DO Interactive Multiplayer and later ported to Windows personal computers and PlayStation in 1996.[/b]

It lists the exact same producers and publishers that Moby does. Remember that 3DO is both the name of a company, and a gaming console.


As for Dark Legions, that game is still sold.
