Title: A forgotten game... Post by: bearmetal on September 20, 2013, 02:34:57 PM Okay, so I'm having a bit of an issue today. There was a game I had for PC a while back and I can't remember the name of it. Maybe someone here can help.
I don't remember too much, but here is what I do remember. It was for PC, not for DOS I remember running it on Windows XP with no issues. It was a first person Action RPG. I remember it starting out with being in a graveyard like area and then you end up in a crypt fighting a lot of skeletons (I know not very descriptive). I remember it did have an action bar like most PC rpgs do. Shoot I can't even really put my finger on what was on the cover. I don't think it was click to move, I think it used common keyboard controls. In the center of the crypt room was a giant pillar like thing and I think I remember a boss being up there. I did not get too far into the game but have been really curious to play it again. If I had to guess time period it would be around 2000 - 2005 when I had played the game, and it couldn't have been too old since I don't think it ran on DOS Feel free to just spew names of games and hopefully someone will be able to help me here. Its hurting my head because I can't figure out the name of it. Title: Re: A forgotten game... Post by: Shadow Kisuragi on September 20, 2013, 03:06:16 PM Give me a moment - I know the exact game. Just need to remember the name.
EDIT: Painkiller. Initial stage is the Graveyard where you're fighting skeletons, though it's more of an FPS. Here's some video footage of the individual levels in a speedrun: http://speeddemosarchive.com/Painkiller.html Title: Re: Post by: bearmetal on September 20, 2013, 03:50:01 PM Close, i remember it being a sword and shield game, may have been one of those hunt down the devil type games. Graphics were very similar though.

Title: Re: A forgotten game... Post by: Crockett on September 20, 2013, 08:40:36 PM Wizards & Warriors? PC circa 2000...
Title: Re: A forgotten game... Post by: bearmetal on September 20, 2013, 09:40:54 PM No still not it. I've been searching the suggestions to double check them...
I remember that every bit of the game that I played, except for the first maybe 20 minutes when its in the graveyard above ground area, all of the game was underground. It may have been a crypt or may have been a journey through hell. and no it's not diablo, that much I do know. I really appreciate the suggestions, I'm just having a really hard time remembering what this game is. These games are on the right track graphics wise but not the right game.

Title: Re: A forgotten game... Post by: Izret101 on September 22, 2013, 08:12:28 AM Sure it wasn't Medievil?
Description is vague enough that it was my first though.... Could have been a PC game via emulation if you are one of those types. Title: Re: A forgotten game... Post by: Leynos on September 22, 2013, 05:23:19 PM Sure it wasn't Medievil? This was my first thought but thought nah because he said PC.Description is vague enough that it was my first though.... Could have been a PC game via emulation if you are one of those types. Also might be the second one. Title: Re: A forgotten game... Post by: bearmetal on September 23, 2013, 10:52:54 AM Yeah it was definitely PC. I had the game and the guide for it I know that much. It wasn't Medievil. It was a first person sword/shield/magic rpg. Haha this is driving me nuts trying to figure out what this is. I'm about this close | | to just looking at a list of PC rpgs and going title by title until I find it haha. Thanks for all the help guys!
Title: Re: A forgotten game... Post by: The Metamorphosing Leon on September 23, 2013, 11:09:43 AM I mean if you know the year it probably wouldn't be too hard to just do that.
Title: Re: A forgotten game... Post by: bearmetal on September 23, 2013, 11:58:51 AM Thats the thing. I know around when I played it. But I got the game at a yard sale. So I'm doing just that. Starting at that general time period and going from there. I'll be sure to let everyone know what it was when I find it haha.
Title: Re: A forgotten game... Post by: Leynos on September 23, 2013, 01:40:41 PM could it be the kings feild series?
Title: Re: A forgotten game... Post by: Cobra on September 24, 2013, 02:45:47 AM Hmm, well if your really desperate to find it you can try going through the first person RPG PC games section of Moby, year by year in reverse from 2005 until you find it...

Post by: Shadow Kisuragi on September 24, 2013, 09:49:26 AM Moby's layout really went downhill with their last update. Now it's almost impossible for me to use it for my wants/needs/curiosity, but they now have a collection tool that basically mirrors ours.
Title: Re: A forgotten game... Post by: Addicted on September 24, 2013, 12:13:19 PM NOX?
Might & Magic IX? Dark Messaih of Might & Magic? Title: Re: A forgotten game... Post by: Cobra on September 25, 2013, 03:47:53 AM Moby's layout really went downhill with their last update.

Agreed, the site really tuned to rubbish with the new update. :(Title: Re: A forgotten game... Post by: bearmetal on September 25, 2013, 12:07:02 PM So far the closest I have seen is Arx Fatalis, especially with the style and (what seems to be) mechanics I have seen in screen shots.
Title: Re: A forgotten game... Post by: Shadow Kisuragi on September 25, 2013, 12:15:41 PM Arx Fatalis was based off Ultima Underworld, FWIW.
Title: Re: A forgotten game... Post by: The Metamorphosing Leon on September 25, 2013, 12:31:34 PM There's also the Thief series to consider.
