!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.
1. Keep it civil.
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.
2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.
I should not need to explain this one.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.
Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

Yep, I have one of those. A side-scrolling scifi shooter for C64 from probably late 80s that I just remember a general vibe about. Not Nemesis, something where you fly above a sort of city. I have tried to remember its name for more than a decade probably.
One would think that there weren't that many of them but oh boy.
T-Rex Warrior for the Commodore Amiga.
Was probably my first introduction to 3D gaming, and because it was a hand-me-down I didn’t have any instructions on how to play it. It literally took my months to figure out how to move in that game, so in the meantime I just stood in place and spin around shooting at enemies until I died.
I once played a 2D RPG which I got stuck in at a point, because I filled all save slots right before getting to a blocking battle, for which I ended up not having enough weapons^[I had recently bought a weapon I then got another one of, just before the battle (as a gift for the battle), but was useless, because only 1 of the player characters could equip that] and then just falling 1 or 2 hits short of managing to pass it.
I have been meaning to retry it from the start (it was a freeware, I think) but I can't recall the rather peculiar name of it. I has been ~ 20 years.
This is the one thing I actually use LLMs for: When I'm stuck trying to remember that one thing from a long time ago.
For me, the really hard one to find was a game called Return Fire. Awesome game.
This was me with Return Fire on MS DOS.
oh good are we remembering old video games
What's that one that's like spy vs spy where you fight a clone of yourself? Would've been windows 95/98 era
I think it was educational
