Is there a community on Lemmy that can help finding a game I played years ago.

The year was 1984 or 1985, last year of High School. The computer was an Apple 2e The game was a Raiders rip off with a guy in a fedora looking for treasure. It was monochrome green. I remember you had to place dynamite and run to blow through walls to get deeper inside a pyramid. It was loaded on 5 1/4" floppy disks. I guess it would need an emulator to play now.

There's "Tip of my joystick" on .ml, but it's not very active. However, you're already here, may as well ask.

A self-perpetuating meme where the objective is to forget you're playing it. By remembering it, you have lost the game, and by custom, must announce it aloud.

Okay I've watched a couple of vids and it might be this.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 17 hours ago

I'm wondering if there was an Aztec2 cause the name rings a bell. Thanks, I'm going to check who developed this but it looks abandoned.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 17 hours ago

In the same genre but must have come after this because it was much better quality.

No but thanks

No but I enjoyed that game, although the catch phrases got on my nerves pretty quick.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 18 hours ago (3 children)

Lessee. Username's a reference to Snow Crash, which is a cyberpunk book. Played the game "years ago". The game must have a name not so connected to the content that OP would have already remembered the name before posting.

I'm going to guess Shadowrun for the SNES.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 18 hours ago

Good catch on the book but the game is from the 80's

I think there is no specific community for that yet, but I'm pretty sure you can ask it in here or in something like [email protected]

[–] [email protected] 2 points 15 hours ago

Yes I did thanks.

Temple of Apshai? No but thanks.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

I think you've found it. Give us some clues!

How long ago? What platform? Genre?

Yes, someone else suggested that, I think it was. I just remember it being way better than it looks today. Cutting edge in the 80's.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

That's usually how these things play out.

Same thing happened to me when I tried watching Thundercats again. Oh boy.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 13 hours ago

Sometimes it better to just keep the memory.

I live in a snowy place so I never liked winter games. Maybe if they had one about shoveling out your vehicle.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

Well I hit the right era, didn't expect it to be that old! The game you describe does sound very familar, I'msure I've played it...now you've got my aging memory working away!

I have never played Minecraft. I played 7 days to die so close enough?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 18 hours ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 2 points 17 hours ago

I have never even heard of that one > Trog

[–] [email protected] 4 points 18 hours ago

Raptor: Call of the Shadows?

Not> Second Sight but I will see if I can get it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

I didn’t see the expanded post. Was it Montezumas Revenge? I played it on Atari

[–] [email protected] 1 points 15 hours ago

No it wasn't > Montezumas Revenge Someone suggested Aztec.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

Faxanadu, or Castlevania II: Simon's Quest.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 17 hours ago

Castlevania II: Simon’s Quest Not those games but it was an 80's game. I edited my question for description.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 18 hours ago

Much earlier. check my edit for description.

Not Megablast. I edited the question to describe the game.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

No but > Xenon 2 kind of reminds me of Galaga.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

I don't know Gaaga, Xenon & Xenon 2, Megablast was my Atari ST era. I remember the soundtrack/music being very good for that time.
