Trying to remember the name of a game/games

Timmyctc · 09-08-2014 09:43PM #1

Okay so way back when I had an open world RPG pc game that afair opened with you on the coast and (potentially shipwrecked) the first enemies you encountered were pirates as far as I can remember. The main thing I remember is that despite being an open 3D world. The enemy Sprites were all 2D models. Looked fairly awful but I found it enjoyable. (The Graphics were mostly gash btw)

Not 100% certain but I think in the same game there may have been a mini game that involved cards and each player had a hand of these cards and the aim of the game was to destroy the other player's castle or tower? So some of the cards might have been like +2 to your own castle or -2 to the opponents. (obviously there existed a whole deck of cards so a lot of variety came into the game)

If anyone can help me remember the name of this game I will personally do absolutely nothing but I might be nice and like, thank you and maybe thank every post you have ever made.

Not sure of the cards, but your RPG game might be Might & Magic 8: Day of the Destroyer.

The card game component was Arcomage.

Yep sounds like M&M 8:Day of the Destroyer as Mal-Adjusted pointed out.

Sorry to hijack the thread but I'm also struggling to remember a certain game.

When I was a kid I had a rip off snes with 100 games on it. There was one I used to always play that was a side scrolling shooting game where you play a space marine type character and one of the bosses was a massive brain type of thing. Any ideas?

Super Metroid? http://metroid.wikia.com/wiki/Super_Metroid

It looked similar to this but with more primitive graphics.

I think you could play co-op on it as well

Super Contra/Probotector ?

Fakman87 · 20-08-2014 09:57AM

Cheers for the help lads, it's not any of those games though.

I remember that the background was very dark in it, like you were in an alien land or something.

Generic Dreadhead · 20-08-2014 11:24AM

Doom Troopers Mutant Chronicles?

King of Demons?

Generic Dreadhead · 20-08-2014 11:43AM

I also need to Hijack this thread....

It was an early N64 title, it was a 3D fighting game in the vain of Perfect Weapon. But there was no texturing.
You had to learn all these moves like a Piledriver etc.
But it was like a massive training sim and you wee fighting polygons.
Had a convoluted move list and seemed like the whole game was a training level

Retr0gamer · 20-08-2014 01:48PM

That's one of the fighters destiny games.

Generic Dreadhead · 20-08-2014 01:56PM

Nope, it wasn't a PvP fighter like that, more like a 3D fighter in the vain of "Fighting Force" Don't think there was multiplayer.
Also the graphics were terrible, Fighters Destiny looks lush in comparison

The game I'm thinking of looked like it was set on an alien land and I think it was all indoors.
