Discussion Thread – The 13th Annual Greatest Games Event

[Bofferbrauer2]

3 days gone and nobody even tried? Now I'm sad

48: No transformations in this entry of the series despite it being a series staple Shantae and the Pirate's Curse, as guessed by UnderwaterFunktown

1. Hint: Instead, you use the equipment of a former enemy in this game.
2. Hint: The different levels are built in a Metroidvania style, and without having found all the aforementioned Equipments, you can't fully explore the levels.
3. Hint: You collect cute little somewhat Heart-shaped octopi and MELT! THEM! DOWN! to increase your max health.
4. Hint: The game, especially the main heroine and it's home town, has some Arabian Nights setting

47: This early 3D PC game is mostly an ego-shooter, but also an adventure game and has some strategy mixed into it.

1. Hint: As long as you have summoned a castle and it is still standing, getting killed will respawn you there, otherwise it's game over.
2. Hint: You're not firing weapons, but rather casting spells that you learn from scrolls you can find in the levels.
3. Hint: Some of the spells can later be upgraded, so a fireball can become a rapid fireball that you're shooting like a machinegun - as long as you have enough mana for it that is.
4. Hint: Some spells allow you to create craters and Volcanoes, which is quite impressive considering the 3D is fully software rendered (as in, not handled by a GPU)

45: A game very similar to the Metroid series.

1. Hint: The original release was on the C64, though the best version is generally considered to be the Amiga version of this game.
2. The games got re-released for modern consoles in a flashback package

44: Flak Monkey

1. Hint: Double Kill! Unreal Tournament 2004, as (mostly) guessed by S.Peelman

43: Woo-hoo! (It will never leave!). Ducktales, as guessed by Darashiva

42: Greetings, Warlord! Let the War... Begin!

41: A 4X game that plays in space and in real-time.

40: AAAAAAAAHHHHH yourself! Serious Sam: The First Encounter, as found out by UnderwaterFunktown
