One of my earliest memories in gaming. Still one of the weirdest games i've ever played. Mechanics I've never seen in any game since, extreme gore, still cute..
I must have spent well over a hundred hours in the demo when I was a little kid. The single snow map. With the audio bug if you EVER made the mistake of drowning a baldy or hairy. Dear god, that infinite audio bug. Only fair, though. I spent the whole game torturing them and they returned the favor.
I've never found a game that replicates even half the magic of this simple, stupid, wonderful game.
One of the first games I have played. It was just the demo version but i played for so many hours! since then it is my first love i have tried for so many times to get and play the full version. Funniest part of this journey i bought an original Atari game disc for lots of Money on Ebay because i didnt know Atari was a console not just the Publischer that hurts so bad ^^
I swear to myself one time i would play the full game and if its the last thing i ever would do !
Please help me to get my dream come true...
I played Baldies waay back in 94 from a demo disk that was sold in King Soopers. It has all the faults rts games of that era had but it made up for in charm and depth. You play as a group of bald humanoids who are in a total war with the hairies,a group of genocidal men with a full head of hair and beard. The gimmick of this game is that you can build housing and assign baldies to four sectors of the house and each has a role. Red baldies relax and reproduce,white baldies take the items you drop on the building to create traps,blue blue baldies maintain the house and green are soldiers who manufacture ammo or can be sent to harass the enemy. You assault the enemy by clicking on the enemy structure with a shield which then attracts your grunts who chase the hairies and shoot them or if close deck them with a powerful right hook. Your guys get close to an enemy structure and they start lobbing grenades or burst through the front door. It's a wonderful game and I can't endorse it enough.
Got the dmeo attached to some magazine, and I was so impressed back then I bought the full windows-version.
Turned out my computer though could run the game, eventualy couldn't handle all the moving particles in it, so I got stuck on the winter-world. But I was so enjoying it when I got my computer upgraded I went back to the drill, and even started to write a guide how to beat the levels.
There were so many levels that when I got stuck on the Pharao Mask map my attention finaly drifted, then new windows came, compatibility issues arrised and all that, but even today I dream of getting to the last level to figure out wether there is a big final Congratulation You Win screen.

LSD: Dream EmulatorIn LSD the player navigates through a psychedelic dream world. The idea is simply to walk around and explore things in a dream environment. There are many strange environments in this world, and one way to travel through them is by foot. However, if the player bumps into walls or other objects in the game, they will be transported to another environment instantaneously through a system called "linking". Bumping into people, animals, or special objects usually results in a stranger dream.
Each dream can last up to 10 minutes, after which the player will 'wake up', when the screen fades away and the player is sent back to the game's initial menu. However, if the player falls off a cliff or into a hole in the dream, then the player will wake up immediately. There is a graph that appears at the end of each dream that keeps track of the player's state of mind; the states are Upper, Downer, Static and Dynamic, as referring to the environments and the general feel of the dream the player just went through. Past states may have effects on later dreams.Horror
FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival.
Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed.
The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo.
As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity.
Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.Our Pick Top Trending Science fiction Sandbox
