I always enjoy when people ask for help to find the name of some old game they played in their youth.
The suggestions always reminds me of old cla$$ics that I used to play.

Anyways, let's play a forum game in the spirit of that.
Wright a description, quote or other hints to a cla$$ic game.
The person that get's it right wrights up a new one.

I'll start off with an easy one. ;)

Nobody? Think about it. There hasn't been that many games with "marshals" in them.

You are so many *lonely* *juicy* *bubbles*. It is so sad.
Now that you are *campers* you will have more *parties*

Indeed, it was.

Are you serious? Or is that a game quote?dnuggs40

No, he's serious. I had a hurt and heal thread closed down, and I'd be surprised (but happy) if this thread didn't also get locked eventually. GS's reason for no game threads is that they feel the thread takes up space at the top from being bumped all the time that should be taken up exclusively by topics of discussion, because they believe forums are designed solely for that, discusision. Which is stupid as all ****, of course, because forums are about interaction, not just discussion, and what you end up with is game threads about games not being allowed on a game forum of Gamespot.

Oh and here's one..

"This is my *house*. Do you want to know a *secret*? Do not *think* it too *not campers*.
You are so many *lonely* *juicy* *bubbles*. It is so sad.

I really don't know, but I've always heard Beneath a Steel Sky's dialogue had lots of halting voice-acting that sounded awkward and annoying. Could it be that? Totally guessing here.

Na. A good deal older than Beneath a Steel Sky. Here's a bit more from the same conversation:

Na. A good deal older than Beneath a Steel Sky. Here's a bit more from the same conversation:

(MESSAGE FROM TRANSLATION COMPUTER: INCOMING MESSAGE EXTREMELY UNORTHODOX IN COMPOSITION.
TRANSLATION INCLUDES MANY LINGUAL BEST-FITS. FOR CLARITY, BEST-FITS ARE DENOTED BY ASTERISK PAIRS.
OVERALL ACCURACY OF TRANSLATION: UNKNOWN.
(MESSAGE BEGINS...)

Who are you? What can you tell us about yourselves?

Who are you? You are not Orz! We are Orz! Orz are happy *people energy* from the outside.
Inside is good. So much good that Orz will always *germinate*.
Can you come together with Orz for *parties*?

Okay, right. Uh... maybe you could tell me why you are here.

Here is *bright* and *smooth*. The other place is *hurt* Orz too much tired for keeping together.
Other place is **Frumple**. Orz are here now, but almost not yet.
Soon Orz are really here! You are help Orz with *parties*.
Orz looking for you, and find you. So much joy!!
Now *smooth* place all the time, and after now never going back to outside.
Never!!

Hello to our *house*. Do you feel *better* yet?
If you are *campers* you will enjoy *the change*, but maybe not yet.
It is best if many happy Orz are coming to your *house*.
Let's *spitting* the fun words for several *pieces* and then surprising things!!!

This is my *house*. Do you want to know a *secret*? Do not *think* it too *not campers*.
You are so many *lonely* *juicy* *bubbles*. It is so sad.
Now that you are *campers* you will have more *parties*
and no more *sad* *lonely* *bubbles*.
This is the *secret*.

Happy to come to my *house* some more times. I am Orz.
I do not have the name because I am Orz. Orz is the name.
Do you want to *squirt*?
If you want to, then you do. It is best, I know it.

Oh, the *alliance party* *campers* are in the *now space*.
It is *happy spices*. Why are you there?
Of course because also the Orz are in the *now space*.
So I am waiting for you to *spit*. It is a pleasure.

*Campers* like to say `hello' when they *smell* the Orz.
We have learned this. It is *no function* but Orz want to make *campers* happy everyday.
Okay... Hello!! Now you are happy I am sure.

I am *expanding!* It is so much *squishy* to *smell* you!
*Campers* are the best! I have *anticipation* and then what?
Better parties in *the middle* for sure.

Uh... hi there. Nice to see you again... I think.

That is *funny*. You think you *see* Orz but Orz are not *light reflections*.
Maybe you think Orz are *many bubbles* too. It is such a joke.
Orz are not *many bubbles* like *campers*. Orz are just Orz.
I am Orz. I am one with many *fingers*.
My *fingers* reach through into *heavy space* and you *see* *Orz bubbles*
but it is really *fingers*.
Maybe you do not even *smell*? That is sad.
*Smelling* *pretty colors* is the best *game*.

Perhaps you have not been to the *Playground*.
The *Playground* is for Taalo and for Orz, but *Campers* can go.
It more fun than several.
You can go there for too much fun.

Hello! I will say again for extra enjoyment. So much a fun game.
Hello! Hello! Next I will *spit* *slow time* words to you for better *dancing*.
Do you know? Orz can *dance* very well.
Now you are a *happy camper* and Orz can make *heavy space* ships for *dancing*.
Orz ships have the *GO! GO!*. Do you know?
These are best for letting go near *heavy space* planet bodies.
Then *GO! GO!* can going fastest to enter ships of the *other*.
Then it is *happy time*.

Even more *pleasant combinations*. I am *successful* the most.
Perhaps after the biggest *party* you will understanding the Orz
and I can showing you other *levels*.
There are so many, but you only *play* on this one.
One is not enough.
We are *friends* now. Never be afraid to *open* enough and *spread the wax*.

Um, if you are upset at therog2's usage of the word "right" he is correct. The word "write" is used to describe what you do with a pen and paper... you write. When you are correct, you are right.

Way to go off on a tangent and be completely wrong.... :lol:

Man, you know your games. I miss Bullfrog. I used to play a lot of their games.

The first PC RPGS I remember playing was Might and Magic 3 and Betrayal at Krondar. I like to browse "graveware" games, though. A lot of them had so much depth.

Also, Epic's been around forever, huh? I remember those old school games like Jazz Jackrabbit and such which used to be distributed as shareware. I used to wonder who Tim Sweeney was; his name was on all of those games.

Cherub_Rock

They had many classics...it's a shame they are no longer around. I wonder who owns all their old IP's though...and wonder if someone ever plans to use them again.

Yeah, epic is also another classic, especially during the shareware days...

I miss getting a CD with 100's of shareware games and spending the afternoon trying them all out...even if 80% of them were pretty bad :P

I was also very fond of SSI around that time...which is the company that made the game that I posted:

Pool of Radiance

Awesome game for it's time!
