I Wanna Be The Guy.

Do you like 8-bit? Do you like old skoool Nintendo games? Do you like getting your backside handed to you over, and over, and over again?

Think the game you're playing is hard? This is the game that kicked your dog and stole your bike in the 4th grade. This game invited you over for dinner, and served up a big ol' helping of your family. This game is Satan-spawned.**

And it's also really fun and addicting, too.

**Game might not actually be this hard. But I think it's an accurate description.

If you're not playing Barkley's Shut Up and Jam: Gaiden, you're doing yourself a disservice. It's one of the most hilarious games I've ever played.

http://www.gamingw.net/forums/index.php?topic=68488.0

Description from the creator:

The Great B-Ball Purge of 2041, a day so painful to some that it is referred to only as the "B-Ballnacht". Thousands upon thousands of the world's greatest ballers were massacred in a swath of violence and sports bigotry as the game was outlawed worldwide. The reason: the Chaos Dunk, a jam so powerful its mere existence threatens the balance of chaos and order. Among the few ballers and fans that survived the basketball genocide was Charles Barkley, the man capable of performing the "Verboten Jam"...

Flash forward 12 years to the post-cyberpocalyptic ruins of Neo New York, 2053. A Chaos Dunk rocks the island of Manhattan, killing 15 million. When the finger is put on the aging Charles Barkley, he must evade the capture of the B-Ball Removal Department, led by former friend and baller Michael Jordan, and disappear into the dangerous underground of the post-cyberpocalypse to clear his name and find out the mysterious truth behind the Chaos Dunk. Joined by allies along the way, including his son Hoopz, Barkley must face the dangers of a life he thought he gave up a long time ago and discover the secrets behind the terrorist organization B.L.O.O.D.M.O.S.E.S.

Bots

Simple MMO.

You choose from one of three 'bot' machines to control. Then go through little missions for gigas(form of currency) and xp to level up.

One cool thing about it is that being higher level doesn't make you stronger, only allows you to wield stronger parts and gear for you bot. I have beaten others who are 10+ lvls above me in pvp.

Drawbacks are the chat system and the special items. The chat in both the lobby and during missions is limited to so many characters. And getting anything past the regular upgrade items costs real money. You can get items with bonuses on them(ranging from +1 to +5) which are gotten after a boss is defeated, but they only drop rarely, and if you are playing in a big group then it's a mad rush for the box.

Still, a fun game I play every other day, quick to learn, easy to play.

Yes its legal. Sega gave them permission to do so and they possibly pay sega in order to make it free for us. (and sega can't make money off of it anyways no more they moved on to psu) If you disagree I'll delete link and also form my sig.

Dwarf Fortress: http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/

Generate a world, make some dwarves, and build your fortress! Also has an Adventure mode, where you can wonder your world, taking quests from the other civilizations. Has a REALLY steep learning curve, so take a look at the wiki (http://www.dwarffortresswiki.net/index.php/Main_Page) for tips.

russianreversal · 02-29-2008, 11:04 AM

Man, YDKJ kinda sucks now that they changed the voice actors. That was just about the best game ever when it was out way back in... whenever.

EDIT: Does anyone know of a freeware game with gameplay like fire emblem? Cuz that would be kickass

Mike McC · 03-05-2008, 07:04 PM

russian: Try Battle for Wesnoth. It's a hex-based grid, but otherwise is the same type of turn-based strategy RPG. Plus, there's a shitload of campaigns to download (through a handy in-program interface), and new ones being made frequently.

Y'know, I don't believe I've officially plugged this yet, so... here goes.

A Path Beyond.

Free, Legal, Stand-Alone mod for Command and Conquer: Renegade by Bluehell Productions.

Basically, it's a first person shooter that uses CnC: Red Alert units, vehicles, and buildings. System requirements are low enough that you don't need an awesome computer to play, but it also scales pretty nicely for those of us who do.

For those of you who have concerns about the playability of the game, fret not. It's very well made overall. Only major complaint is that server size is limited to 26 players at a time, which can make it a little difficult to get in at certain times of day. (though, perhaps, they might be convinced to expand the size)

Screenshots can be found here.

Cortex Command. It's basically Worms in realtime, with resource management and a build screen and base construction and AWESOME. It's also near-infinitely moddable.

Only problem: The full version costs 20 bucks Canadian. Demo is free though, and very accessible.

Dauntasa · 04-01-2008, 12:46 PM

Battleships forever. It's a real-time strategy game where you control fleets of big-ass spaceships and blow shit up. It's awesome.

EDIT:Oh right, gotta link to it.
