dungeon keeper isn't "non-mainstream" (what a horrible fucking term), but it is awesome. love that series. wish dungeon keeper 3 was finished/released.

A while ago I heard an obscured rumor that some korean company has the rights to make an online RPG based on the DK series. Whether it's true or not is beyond me...

I have no idea how it would work.

hooray for dungeon keeper 2! i've had that for years. it stoped working a year ago =( (probably wouldn't work on vista anyway).

i bought DK2 a few months back and it worked on Vista. but when i first played it the screen was black, with sound. you have to adjust a setting in the installation menu wotsit. cant remember exactly what it was, but it was fine afterwards.

Classics you might not have heard of; GeneWars, Magic Carpet, Master of Magic, The Clue!, Mad TV

i remember this. first saw it on PC around a relatives. good times.

also Eye Of The Beholder, Crystal Dragon, Orc Attack and Beverly Hills Cop (i think) on the Amiga 1200. Orc Attack especially.

EDIT: shit, sorry if these have already been answered, i didn't see the second page.

Heroes of Might and Magic II was pretty good. I don't know how to tell if something's mainstream or not, I don't do a lot of gaming and my knowledge of a game is most likely no more than "Picked it up at a Garage Sale, it's good shit," but Neverwinter Knights (forget that it's Forgotten Realms) is an interesting fantasy RPG. The main reason I like it is the easy-to-use campaign editor.

That might have been what I read :p. Except my feeble brain must have mushed things up.

I'm not sure if this is Mainstream but:

The Guild 2, buggy as a full scale Cockroach infestation, but still a good game. Seems to have a cheese toast fixation too.

Goddamn dude, just pirate it. This is one of those times where it's okay.

Probably, but getting it through Steam increases the likelihood of a) it working and b) it not having half the content hacked out to decrease the download.

"non-mainstream" (what a horrible fucking term)

Why? This entire section of the forum is called Non-Oddworld Gaming. And I can't call all non-mainstream games 'indie' because there might be generic games produced by well known companies that not a lot of people have played.

Anyway back on topic, who here has played Serious Sam: The first encounter ?

DK1 is actually free now, apparently. The company decided they couldn't make any more money out of it, so they released it into the amazing electrical webulator.

I want OWI to release the A.L.I.V.E. engine as open-source.

Taco 12-07-2009 07:56 PM

An SDK included in the Oddbox with the open-source engine would be interesting.... Don't think it's gonna happen though

enchilado 12-07-2009 08:10 PM

Don't care about an SDK, just want the engine. It's not your own game if you use one of them.

Phylum 12-08-2009 12:46 AM

The A.L.I.V.E engine is far too convoluted for an engine to be worth anything. The limits would be limitless.

enchilado 12-08-2009 01:07 AM

Damnation. I guess we'll need an SDK after all.

Taco 12-08-2009 04:13 AM

A level editor would be fun, for stress relief. I'd make a closed box with abe and a bunch of Glukkons. Slapping them into walls should provide a few hours' worth of enternetainment

Mac Sirloin 12-09-2009 10:21 AM

Wasn't SW made with the Unreal engine or something?


An SDK for that would be godly.
