The "what the hell was that game again" thread for forgetful people. - Beardy - 10-26-2013

I remember a game where there was an action-ey plot, but now and then you'd wake up in an insane asylum and some of the inmates were people from the plot, and you didn't know if it was real or not and it's bugging the shit out of me. What game was that?

Are you thinking about Manhunt II? The game starts off as you escape from an asylum.

Not really. It's hard to Google "That one movie, where there was a dude that was black, but I think that he also fought like. Demons? I think? Or was he a half demon?"

Especially if the false memory is leading to inaccurate description. Googling "black guy who fights demons" wouldn't ge you Blade, because Blade is a half vampire.

That would be the point for some thing like "Evil town tortures bad/misunderstand people" or "Thef racoon steals back pages from bad guys" but I think you would find it harder finding "Guy with furry partner trying to save the world from a magic guy." Am I talking about Final Fantasy or Jak and Daxter?

Or porn. (Which is the worst possibility)

This kind of thread is fairly common, and since this is VGFACTS this is thread is even more appropriate. Though I think the thread title could be shorter.

I think the thread title is just perfect, especially for forgetful people.

I legit googled that game with the guy with furry parther trying to save the world from a magic guy my first result was "Jak 2 Cheats" they have a app on the app store where you can do this with music and movies and games and it works really well.

^Regardless, that certainly won't work with more obscure titles.

Try this: "The game where that kid fights monsters with a gun and dies often"

Hint: It's Heart of Darkness.

And how about finding this one that I'm trying to remember.

You play as a blonde haired Amazoness kind of character, and an orc... I remember the orc had a shield. There was a picture from it that my brother had painted on his wall where the orc is in front, holding his shield up, and the Amazoness woman was behind him. I think it was on the box... See, in those those, all of games came in actual cardboard boxes... It was a PC game, and was pretty obscure. It was a sort of isometric viewpoint, and I think the setting I remember the most was on a cliff face...

I've been looking for it for days, had no luck. I'm pretty sure nobody here will have a clue, because it was before all of your times. It might have been after 95, since I recall booting it from a floppy easily...

There's a link on page 1 when you search that you find a link to a fourms talking about Heart of darkness and they say pretty much what you posted
