I’ve been looking through Wikipedia and Google Image Search for the past hour - this urge visits me every few months: I have a distinct memory of a game I had for my ][GS, late in its life, that I’d like to at least learn the name of, if not find a disk image eventually.
It was totally polygon-based, which blew my mind at the time. As near as I can remember, it was like what we’d call an FPS today, but I want to say it was more labyrinth-y, like Wizardry, or Wolf3D.
I’m pretty sure I sent away for it through a catalog or magazine, so I don’t think it was a major title that I could have bought in a store.
If anyone has a list of ][GS games and could post a few titles that sound like what I’m remembering, or a screenshot or two, I’d really appreciate it. I might recognize the name, but I’d definetely recognize a screenshot.
Beyond that, all I recall is that I couldn’t get very far in it, and that I want to say (again - just a VERY vague memory - this happened 14-16 years ago) it had, at least at the beginning of the game, mostly blue walls and mostly black ground and sky.
Shot in the dark, I know - ringing any bells out there?
In case you didn’t see on wikipedia, they have a list:
I don’t know what it is. How about this one: in elementary school we played this games on the IIGS that had wire-frame drawings and a story, an investigation. You had to search for clues and solve math problems. The computer did the arithmetic I think, but you had to tell it what to compute and what conversion factors to use. Playing this taught us about dimensional analysis, which I then had to go over again in every basic science course I took in junior college.
No hits. Thanks for all the suggestions - I checked wiki and some of those apple sites - none seem to have a BIG list of games, just a few major titles.
Not flying a ship - definetely was first-person dungeon-crawling type deal.
Polygons were filled, flat shaded.
And man, I WISH I had Tempest back when I was a kid.
