2020 is almost over and I think the only 2020 release I played was the C&C remaster.

Games I used to have and wish I still had

For one reason or another I got rid of these games, and now I regret that.

List items

  • The PC version. Horribly buggy, but it brought quite a few new interesting ideas to the table when it was released back in 1998.

    It basically plays like the Total War games (though it preceded the first Total War by one year) - you've got a turn based "world map", and real-time tactical maps - the main difference is that you fight against martians. In Britain. In 1898.

    The soundtrack consists of wonderful remixes of the songs from Jeff Wayne's 1978 musical, and the game has some really great rendered cutscenes for it's time too.

    I liked it, and it could have been fantastic if it had actually ever been patched (I remember a patch was promised, but never released).

  • Simple, but I loved it. It disappeared along with a bunch of other game boy games I sold for some strange reason in the early 90's.

  • the game boy version. I'll probably try to get the color version now when I have a GBA.

  • Had this on game boy. Forgot the name of it until now.

  • I had a weird budget reprint that I threw away in the late 90's as my anti-virus software said the disc contained viruses, which correlated with a bunch of infection style problems with my PC at the time. I regret getting rid of the CD now, as it could have been a false positive.

Good thing this list is small.  My equivalent is pretty big (but I never did get it down here).

Well, sadly there's a lot more, I haven't gotten around to adding them all yet, and some of them I can't remember the titles of anymore, there was some Section-Z style shoot em up for the gameboy that I can still remember the awesome music from, but not the title, and a bunch of other gameboy games too, some of which I just remembered what they were called, so I'll add those. :)

@fisk0: Section-Z as in you're an upright robot type guy who can shoot in either direction scrolling through science fiction-style levels?  I wonder if there's some way to hunt that down just through genre stuff, although I guess the Gameboy has way too many titles for this to be easy.

Yeah, I have no idea of what the name of the subgenre would be, but yes, it was that style of game, I can't remember if the main character was a robot though, but you could move and shoot in all 8 directions, if I remember correctly you held B to shoot in a direction while moving in another, otherwise you would automatically aim in the direction you moved. I do know that the game was also available for the NES and possibly the Amiga, but I can't remember the name of it.
