The "General Games Chat" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only.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

Right, you should be able to get the demo from activision's site (www.activision.com)
Then you get a hexed exe from a site like www.ndc1.com (goto downloads section, and get any exe for the 10.37 version.
Replace the demo .exe with the hexed one, and presto, you have a fully working version.

I saw Warcraft 2 so I'll go look :D
Why, yes I would.
Looks like Warcraft 2, but in the sky with floating islands... and you sacrifice priests for some reason too... Looks kinda nice, actually. :0)
Good, good. Would you like to know where to get a free fullversion?
