This was a weird game. Peak 90s. also
>that fucking tunnel mission on the front of the goddamn box
They knew what they were doing.

I still think it was a fever dream

>>11880638
Neat game, just not worth an outright purchase.

What's with chicken games being utterly bizarre? I played Mort the Chicken on the PS1 as a kid and had repressed the memory until Pizza Tower brought him(her?) back

I win. Don't even pretend you've played any Coleco Adam games, I already know you're lying.

>>11880638
I played this one but not part two.
>>11880674
Played the CD32 version.

Bolo, Esprit, Anno Domini 1700. All on monochrome Atari ST, which was our first computer.

>>11880850
>Bolo

Played the remake. Own the CD of it actually.

I still win

I watched the Civvie video. Wasn't this supposed to be a Duke Nukem game in the beginning?

I'm not sure what you mean.

A friend got a cd-rom drive in 95' or so and this was the first game that we played. I was completely blown away by the graphics and cinematics. It sold me on cd-rom tech and nagged my dad to get me one for years.

On my parents old Mac (early 90s) I used to have a game where you would produce and market your own movies. You would focused on managing a budget, but included the ability to pick actors and a director. The end goal was to get your movie to rank in amongst the other top ten well known, best selling movies.

The way the game worked was that you set budgets for your movie, putting a certain amount of money into marketing, and what not, and then released it to the masses. As the weeks would go by, your score would be determined by how much of a net profit (or loss) you ended up with.

It was non-graphical and ran in a windowed mode with gameplay akin to something like Dope Wars. It was well done and surprisingly fun to play.

Anyone know this game and what it was called?

>>11880974
Hollywood Mogul?

>>11881206
No. It's similar to that gane but on Mac and more simplistic

>>11880612 (OP)
That cover is really bad compared to the original one

>>11880612 (OP)
Zool on the Mega Drive

>>11881523
Damn yeah, you're right. That is pretty metal.

>>11880612 (OP)
It was 1998

Control configuration, high-difficulty in a damn tutorial mission and lack of video settings/support for modern anything will keep this under the radar. It's a shame. But I don't mind being the only person who played it because Outwars is AWESOME

>>11882830

I played the shit out of the demo, and also got it when it was Abandonware. It's really fun - the jetpack mechanism is really cool to just jet about with, just make sure you mess with the mouse sensitivity when you first play.

Chickens are a horrifying consciousness
Dipping your mind into the chickenverse is worse than Lovecraftian, worse than Kafkaesque
Its a pure absence of any thing that a human could call sanity or calm

This is pretty much LJN/Aklaim but for PC games isn't it?

Corridor 99

>>11880612 (OP)
thought this was one of those gigachad edits

>>11883026
Not really. They published a lot of foreign games in Russia too, not only local things. Not all of them are bad quite opposite desu.

Schiffbruch from somewhere around the 90s. Earlierst procedual generated survival game i played. You can now find it on itchio and play it on the phone

>>11881223
My dad burnt a copy of this for his friend to sell and I tested it in my chipped grey PSX :)

>>11883021
kek

>>11880674
I never played it physically but on a ROM collection when I was really young.
I agree wholeheartedly.

Back in 2003 when i got my first PC, the computer guy who helped setting it up at home, installed two games on it. The first one was "Global operations", which was a silly counter strike ripoff, and the second game was about catching cows. If i remember correctly, in that game you were flying around in a helicoper (2D isometric perspective), trying to capture runaway cows with different contraptions. To this day, i cant find it, or anything that at least resembles it. I'm 100% sure that it exists and it wasnt a fewer dream.

Here's mine.

>>11881223
Fucking loved the demo of this, never EVER saw a copy to buy.

>>11883026
1C is like Microsoft of Russia. They hold a monopoly on accounting software market in the country and that's the real source of their profits. In 2000s they were the largest publisher of foreign games localized in Russian language and many local games were published by them as well, until the 2008 financial crisis crippled the PC game dev scene in Russia, forcing most companies to turn to cheaper mobile games. Afterwards they merged with their biggest competitor SoftClub (which notably had publishing rights to EA games) to become the undisputed leader on Russian game publishing market.

>>11884712
awfully familiar story

>>11882830
The release of this by Ziggurat Games is available on GOG. I beat it and didn't find any major bugs. Kind of a short game but some missions can really kick your ass, also the FMV briefings are glorious

>>11884979
The cover reminds me of Netstorm.

>>11883928
Lol I played Global Operations, we liked it back then because of how bad it was compared to Counter Strike. It felt incredibly yanky. I've never heard about the cow game, though ...

Eggs of Steel. It controlled like ass and had some of the most obnoxious noises ever put into a video.

>>11884979

Oh, dis looks fun, tho.

Since OP posted a slav game, I'll post one too.

>>11884968
Ah - the version I had was a ripped version that didn't have these. I may give it a shot.

>>11883928
Tanktics (1999)? it was sheep not cows though

This was a pretty good game and needs a re-release.

Never played this one, but it's a sequel to Bloodwych and looks like a decent dungeon crawler.

Are nerds going to Re-Duke-ify that game to what it was meant to be?

>>11880612 (OP)
I thought this was a Gigachad edit at first

>>11885184
Perimeter was huge in slavland, it had a Steam remaster released an year ago and still has an active community. Hardly belongs in this thread

>>11886768
no way, I saw this often on the usual gaming rags and TV shows

I remember playing this as a kid and having no idea of what to do.

I'm certain nobody else played this piece of shit

>>11887458
Looks cool. What's wrong with it?

>>11887491
Extremely slow and clunky, just an overall boring experience.

>>11881652
Reminds me of a bunch of old bar sluts I know

>>11883220
>>11884712
Did they use that awful copy protection malware that fucked DVD drives?

>>11880612 (OP)
More well known than you seem to realize.

>>11887718

>>11883150
Same lol

>>11887458
I did

>>11880612 (OP)
I played this one when it came out, bought it on 2CD and it sucked. It was kinda hyped back then in Ukrainian videogame zines. Dunno what I expected. Maybe it's fun to play it now as a slavjank curiosity, but back then there were tons of actually good games coming out constantly.

>>11881523
I got that cover, shame the game is very buggy and I kept having to restart/reboot the levels to get further plus the enemies inflict huge amounts of damage on you very quickly with few health pickups, I had to enable godmode to get even halfway through it- nice idea with the exp system, for destroying enemies and exploring but then you'd explore all sorts of nooks and crannies and not get any exp at ll so it sort of defeated the point
>>11881623
never heard of that one, is that a survival horror/action horror or something, hows it play?

>>11887504
That's a shame. At the very least I find some amusement in how the guy from the American cover apparently isn't even the main character. Tales old as time.

>>11887701
I think Starforce bricking CD drives is just an urban legend, but it did pioneer the invasive, resource-hogging, malwareish DRM back in the time when it wasn't the norm yet. And yeah 1C was one of their biggest customers.

>>11886795
Damn, it flew over my head all those years. I recently bought Steam re-release, so now I can maybe finish the campaign.

>>11887718
>>11887720
And this was going to be a Duke Nukem game

Omega Boost, a Mech game "By the creators of Grand Turismo" was expecting an epic Mech sim like Armored Core, instead it was a hard as balls space shooter. I remember being so disappointed but the opening Scene was pure 90s and probably better than the whole game lol.

I have never once ever heard anyone mention this game
