Games You Might Not Have Tried

Came across this in dev game on the Kerbal forums…World Of Diving, a deep sea scuba diving sim…

Also, theres a good physics based Car building / battle sim called Scraps where you build a car from the chassis up, adding weapons etc to it, when eventually, the idea is you will have multiplayer battles online, with your own vehicle designs.

back in the old days i played games like hollywoodmanager on amiga, the clou!, the planer, “der reeder” and space job on msdos

  • hollywoodmanager is a business sim where you manage your cinema + making movies
  • the planer is also a business sim where you manage a forwarding company
  • space job is something like a life sim (unfortunately only in german, it was a promotional game by karstadt)
  • and the clou! is a mix between adventure and sim where you’re a burglar and plan your burglaries
  • “der reeder” is a business sim where you’re representing a shipping company, seems that it’s also only in german (couldn’t find an english version)

i played these games a lot

Here’s one game that some people would like , it’s made by a company called Foddy and they make all kinds of wierd games.

It’s a really fun 2 player game where you have to defeat your friend it’s really amazing!

Don’t know if they’ve been mentioned, but I quite like Dwarfs?! and Realm of the Mad God. They’re both free on Steam.

For wrestling fans, I highly suggest Extreme Warfare Revenge (or EWR). It’s a free professional wrestling simulator where you run your own federation. It has a large following still (I believe, been a few years) that give out current up-to-date real world mod packs and it’s a hell of a lot of fun.

I think you can still download it here. http://www.demonews.com/download.php?det=3668#.UgBGg20hg1w

Alternatively, the same creator, Adam Ryland, stepped that up in '05 with Total Extreme Warfare (this '05 version is a freeware now) and made the game even more in-depth. You can get this at www.greydogsoftware.com along with quite a few other games, one of which I will recommend.

Finally, for MMA (UFC shit) fans like myself, the World of Mixed Arts series is amazing fun. It plays similar to TEW, but not at all at the same time.

I hope you guys enjoy.

I am pretty addicted to Audiosurf atm

The great thing about it you can play for 3 minutes or 30 and you use your own music. very simple, very cool, very addictive.

I do NOT THINK it is indie, but I rarely ever see this game talked about, anywhere so here it is: http://www.starwraith.com/evochronmercenary/
It’s great fun (if you have a joystick) not an X-universe clone (one can actually visit planets :D)

A friend suggest i try To The Moon

Much like Dear Esther, more of an interactive movie than a game.
Made me weepy :cry:

Xenonauts. http://www.xenonauts.com/

It’s the best successor to X-com. The same gameplay as the original with up to date graphics. It is currently in beta and is available on steam. You can also get it on Desura.

Project Zomboid. http://projectzomboid.com/blog/

Try to survive a zombie apocalypse, you will die. You can build your own safe house and go out scavenging for supplies. It’s rapidly approaching beta stage.

Loved - An art flash game where you took the role of this person as he/she (depends of what you chose it to be) navigates through a bizzare world trying to escape/reach a telepathic guy controlling our mind to communicate with him/her. It is beautiful (not exactly that, but…)

Reus - A game where you act as God and control these things (angels??? statues??? giants???) to control the world you are controlling. Try to say control a lot. Like someone controlling your mouth. It’s a good game for my opinion, though it is not a smooth 60fps game, it is still fun to play.

Culdcept Saga is a good Xbox 360 game I’m not sure how popular it was though so I’ll give it a mention.It is like Monopoly and a card battle game mixed together.

Edit:Wow tried to look it up on gamestop to make sure I had the name right and saw another game Xenoblade Chronicles for Wii that is going for $89 used and it is even higher on Ebay I guess I won’t ever be trying that one.

I just recently found out about Kerbal Space Program
Awesome game, nice concept.
Anyone that has some love for space / space travel / Nasa / rockets, should try this game.

Great demo available.

I actually never played this game, but i saw my friend play it in his house on his Xbox. You can buy it on indievania, but you need xbox controllers to play it. You can buy it with however much money you want, you could even be naughty by entering you want to buy it for 0 Dollars and play it for free! Remember, you need an xbox controller.

Democracy 2. Politics/economic simulator where you’re the President or Prime Minister. 20 bucks on Steam. I want it pretty bad.

I heard of a REAL AWESOME game that not enough people pay attention to.Okay many people pay attention to it but not enough.

Its called “Game Dev Tycoon” it lets you create your own game business and create games,even MMOs!Later you can also create your own console. CRAZY isn’t it?
You really should try this game!

Here are some others:
Perspective - A 3D Perspective Puzzle Game…TRY IT its mindblow!

Little Inferno - A Game about someone who sits in front of his fireplace…and burns things.
Yes,in this game you BURN things…isn’t that AWESOME?!

And im a Audiosurf addict…ok i dont play dubstep songs there…but ive got Hard Rock and Metalcore!

BeamNG.drive - It’s a really cool game using a really cool game engine and it is HYPERREALISTICALLY REALISTIC and you can do really cool things with crashing cars and stuff like that.

I think the perfect name for that game is Car Crash Simulator 2013.

I think it will come out in the early 14s.

Cookie Clicker - orteil.dashnet.org/cookieclicker/

This is a really, really, REALLY addictive game, no joke. aas the name sugest, it’s a game with a lot of cookies. Best part? It’s fun, free, and really addictive. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. Did I say it’s really addicive

The Spirit Engine 2 is an extremely good game. Sideview RPG with great characters, plot and setting, and the combat is good enough. Easily my favourite indie game of all time. It’s freeware these days(since it didn’t sell due to non-existent advertising, a crime of history), so why not give it a spin? Even today it’s poorly known, despite having won some indie game awards in 2008.
