Was Darklands the excessively EuroJank one from Germany?

I think I know which game you're talking about. But for the life of me I can't remember the name.

Oh come on assholes, you can get it on steam now.  I think this is before the era where we started calling shit Eurojank. tongue

To this date it has one of the most original takes on fantasy RPG's I've ever seen.  The mechanics and setting were amazing.  I'd like to think a dedicated team could take what they started and do something amazing.  But most likely not.

I don't think that's the game he's talking about. There was a remake about 4-6 years back that epitomized Eurojank. Pretty sure Sky loved it. Thought we had a thread about it, but couldn't find it.

I could have sworn that Gothic and Risen were the ones Sky usually went on about.  I've said good things about Drakensang in the past, although maybe not here.   I personally think the second one no one likely knows exists outdid the various Dragon Age games.  It was pretty light on the jank, although it was still burdened by the dark eye rules set.

edit:  relevant to the steam sales thread since they're also both really cheap right now, I could have sworn they'd gotten delisted at some point.

When she crossed over, she was just a ship. But when she came back... she was bullshit!

Total Annihilation.
Been redone many times, none of them have really captured the original feel. But except for Supreme Commander, none had a decent budget, either. I've been playing Ashes of the Singularity, it's about the closest I have found.

Yes

Yes, I know I'm paranoid, but am I paranoid enough?

I like Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance, it's my favorite newer Total Annihilation.  I've got Ashes of the Singularity on my wishlist, I'll probably get it at some point.

Gold Box games.

Was everything from Black Isle not enough? If not, what do you think that shit would even look like today.

On that note:
Age of Empires II.

Why those guys at Firaxis *didn't* do Beyond Earth as Alpha Centauri 2 is profoundly puzzling to me. Why not, guys? Why farm it out to the interns and just do a mod of Civ 5? If it had really been Alpha Centauri 2, man...

Just a few off the top of my head-

Darklands
AutoDuel/Car Wars
Racing Destruction Set
Mail Order Monsters
6 Gun Shootout
A decent PC baseball game (Earl Weaver Baseball?)
ToEE and other classic AD&D modules done correctly
Master Of Magic (Planar Conquest is decent, but it could be a lot better)
Seven Cities of Gold/Heart of Africa (a good exploration game)
Another update to Pirates!
Adventure Construction Set
Their Finest Hour: The Battle of Britain
An old fashioned dungeon crawler- Bard's Tale, Wizardry, etc
Silent Hunter or Red Storm Rising, or another good sub game
Wizard's Crown with updated graphics and UI

The top of your head has a neckbeard. Also, there has been NO shortage of old fashioned dungeon crawlers (immediately springing to mind - Darkest Dungeon, Stranger of Sword City, both Legends of Grimrock, all the Etrian shit).

Why do you think I shave my head  Oh ho ho ho. Reallllly?
I have had Darkest Dungeon on my Steam wishlist for a while... now that I am unemployed it may be time to pick it up!

There was or is a ww2 sub sim but its really boring. You guess where the ship is gonna go, you get in position and you wait until its in range. And in ww2 us  torpedoes are 30% at best , there really crap. I am a ex submarine sailor. I have no idea about combat . But if your assigned to a ship that cannot be detected you end up doing interesting things.

I've like them to redo Star Wars Rebellion with a UI that didn't suck.

Yes, you can. And I'll be damned if I can read the font anymore. :/
