The Discussion Thread -Day #41- The 15th Annual Greatest Games Event

[Bofferbrauer2]

Time for some new hints and a couple new games:

#44 - An RTS that becomes more of a 4x over time in space and in real-time Imperium Galactica, as found out by Mnementh

1. With every rank increase, the playable part of the game world map increases, and with it what you can build and research
2. The world evolves around the scope of the game very independently, meaning some factions may be eradicated before you get a chance to meet them in the storyline.
3. You start with 3 planets (one of which bien in serious disrepair after an attack devastated the colony, it's also the reason you got promoted to this position in the first place) and a small fleet and have to fight off pirates at first, but later on you'll  deal potentially with a galactic world war if the AI is particularly agressive on that run.
4. This DOS game with a Latin name is very hard to play nowadays because space battles are getting way too fast to control.

#43 - A base-building game where your handful of people must survive the end of the world, as hell has taken over.

1. First you just need to survive, but after a while your group of survivors will do things like farming, crafting, both scientific and occult research, build shrines for rituals and an alchemic table complete with a philosopher's stone.
2. Research needs sometimes some specific items that you can scavenge, as in scientific books, research kits, scientific data to progress in that tech tree.
3. The more survivors you rescued and the more buildings you constructed, the more the forces of hell are aware of you and will attack your base more often.

#42 - A very long turn-based Fantasy game with clear influences at Civilization, Master of Magic and Heroes of Might & Magic.

1. The game world consists of a planet that has been blown to bits to avoid the forces of chaos to take it over, and the main story consists of assembling those shards and combining them with yours to recreate the planet.
2. This game has been made twice, once in 2D and then immediately they recreated it in 3D, although to this day with piss-poor performance.

#41 - AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH yourself! Serious Sam: the First Encounter, as found out by Mnementh

#40 - A Pinball game with 3 tables that would be pretty much impossible to make in reality
