The "General Games Chat" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only. You cannot post here or create a new thread or review on this forum.
Nope, no long topic here (hence why this is in FOG chat).
Simply, the idea of this thread is this:
Name an obscure game that didn't do very well, and instead of telling everyone about it, they try to find out information about it, and post it. Then you can see how well they did.
This is perfect for people who know unsucessful games that were very good, but are too lazy to write about them (can't think who that would be.. *ahem*), and also people who like to find out about games, and erm, pride themselves on that sort of thing.
So everyone's happy.
It makes a change from threads where nobody talks about a game because they've never heard of it.
This is turning out a lot bigger than I planned, actually...
Right then, so either post a game you want people to look up, or write some info you found out.
I'll start. First game: NetStorm

I'll warn you now though, this game is quite different to anything else. It will take a while for you to get the hang of it, but it's worth it.
The single player is pretty lame, but the multiplayer is top stuff.

Hmmm, those links are dud Venom... None of them seem to work.
Yup, indeed it was me.
You need to get a hexed 10.37 exe. Any of the following will do:
SethStrom, MafStrom, VenomStorm (guess who did that one), etc. You get the idea.
(We're an orignal bunch when it comes to naming)

Hmmm, not sure what to download from that Netstorm site you gave us Venom... but, out of interest, that person that made some levels and files, called Venom... was that you? :0)
Downloading now!
A game that wasn't as successful as it could, or should have been. One jumps straight into my mind. ISS games always seemed to be outselled by FIFA games, when it was the ISS games that were far better. It may be a little different now, as ISS Evolution 2 was a great success, but then again, it wasn't really up aginst a new FIFA then, was it.
I can't see this happening on the PS2, because there are lot of hungry footy fans out there dying to play the new ISS Evolution on PS2. There is the news of FIFA 2002, but I can't see this topping the new ISS.
