Ask Lemmy

There was this one game called calling for the wii. Since the Wii controller had a speaker, it would ring like a phone and you would answer it, then followed by game's sound out of it as if you are talking on the phone. Plus it had a story I found interesting.

Cherry Coke had a promotional game called something like The Lost Island Of Alanna they gave out in the mid 90s. There was a little attack of them in the waiting room of the principles office at my school.

It was a pretty well done short Myst-like.

When you beat it the reward was a guide to read secret messages that were hidden in the squiggles that covered the cherry coke label at the time.

A friend and I used to play Liero Xtreme lots when we were kids. I have never seen any mention of that game anywhere on any forum in my years on the internet

I watched Star Blazers every week as a kid.

There's this youtube channel, on which someone does piano fugue improvisations, it is really good, and it has only a few thousand views

Here is an example, but there are more: https://youtu.be/YLW47a6Jk50?si=6coaJGDotT9B3JU1

There's also hours long live session during which he improvise many baroque pieces, I listen to it every now and then, and it's always a blast

There were four promotional songs put together to promote the 1960's Adam West Batman. One of them is Miranda sung by Adam West. It's, uh, something, yeah.

I remember playing Big Sky Trooper for the SNES which was about killing the alien slugs and you had to navigate the solar system.

The Legend of Alon D'ar. Never talked to anyone who's played it. I know some people have due to YouTube videos, but it's not a great game and I ended up beating it because I had nothing better to do.

I played the heck out of TankPot back in the day. One of the best early games to have a high number of simultaneous multi-player, I think 64, split poverty 4 teams of tanks. Played through the browser, it moved around to different sites a few times over the years and now has its own dedicated site: https://tankpit.com/

Anyone used to play this computer games hosted on Kabam? My favorite was edgeworld where you had to build a base and destroy others and such. Classic strategy game with alliances, and a world map where people took nodes and tried to execute like, chain dominion type stuff? Vaguely remember but god I loved that game.

Also Endless online? Different but an obscure rpg where ya had ya character and went exploring in dungeons and such, getting loot, completing quests. So many hours sunk into these games.
