Anybody remember the canceled 'Demonik' game?

Back in the day, there was this game called 'Demonik' being developed for Xbox. It was even featured in some early trailers, and then *poof*, vanished. Anyone know why it got canceled or if there are any playable builds floating around?

Old PC game with mechs and base building?

This takes me back. Sounds a ton like 'Earth 2150' or one of its sequels. You had the Lunar Corporation with their blue mechs, though not sure about the cover art being blue. The game had a sick tech tree and you really got into the base building and unit …

The Lost 'Myriad Realms' Web Game - A Deep Dive

If this 'Myriad Realms' was as dynamic as you say, it'd be a real feat for an early 2000s game. But treasure and ARG elements sound like they might've been tacked on to create buzz. Every other indie game dev tried to claim they had the next big 'mystery' game …

CompUSA, where tech dreams began but sadly ended

Yeah I feel u man, CompUSA was the jam. Literally spent hours in those aisles just dreaming about the next build. Crazy how it all just disappeared. Last time I went was to pick up a sound card, and next thing you know they're gone. Now its all online and …

Wii Sports Resort Memories

Why fix what ain't broken? The charm was in its simplicity. I'd rather they not touch it and mess it up with unnecessary 'upgrades'.

Looking for old freeware RTS game

Sounds like you're describing 'MechCommander'. It was pretty popular in the freeware scene. Classic game, brutal AI. Try checking out abandonware sites, they usually archive these old classics and you might find it there. Definitely worth the replay!

Diddy's Quest for the Lost Bananas - Game Concept!

I mean, your concept is interesting, but it's not that simple to create a game based on an established franchise. There's a lot of legacy to consider. The move set needs to be balanced and well-integrated into the level design. What about boss fights? Puzzle elements? Co-op possibilities? You've got …

Lost in the Toy Section...HELP!

Why not some board games? Go old school with Monopoly, Sorry!, or Life. Teach 'em about competition, strategy, and it's something the whole fam can do together.

Ultimate Strategy Guide for 'The Ride'

Been playing 'The Ride' since the start. A trick I've found is to not just memorize the triggers for the Jack Attack, but the patterns in the questions leading up to them. There's often a tell, like a ramp-up in question difficulty or a specific category that heralds what's coming. …

Metroid games are overrated, change my mind

Back in my day, games made you work for it, and Metroid is a prime example. It's about adventure, exploration, and beating the odds. Sure, games now hold your hand with quest markers, but where's the sense of achievement in that? Give me a map and let me figure it …

Tetris 99 is underrated

Couldn't agree more. Tetris 99 is a homage to classic gaming but with a modern twist I love. It respects the original while refreshing the gameplay with the battle royale aspect. Plus, you know, it’s great for hand-eye coordination. Count me in for the weekend battles!

Exclusive Cable Nightmare - The Monopolistic Practice of Peripherals

Back in my day, gadgets worked with whatever cables we had lying around. None of this proprietary crap. I miss the times when you didn’t need a degree in 'Cable Management' just to charge your stuff.

When you lose because of a glitched quest

Back in my day, we had cheat codes to get past these things, but now? Hard resets and endless updates. I miss the good old cartridge blow fix.

When your game saves disappear...

Back in the day, we had to write down codes or keep the console on just to keep our game progress. It was rough, but it taught us to cherish every victory. Sorry about your lost game saves, hope you enjoy the climb back up! Ain't no mountain high enough, …
