Elementary - Dear Watson said:
Remember Net Yaroze? Yep... they were the best free games ever given on a demo disk with playstation magazines...! Noteworthy was Rocks and Gems, Net Yaroze Soccer (I will never forget all the rip off team names!! It had about 100 teams if my memory served correctly, all with the official line-ups at the time, but all the names had been very slightly changed to avoid copyright... I will always remember Minchester Utd versus Luverpool...!
) and the one which involved saving babys from shosts... but I can't remember the name! :|
EDIT: Blitter Boy... that was it... It was a shoot em up which only included non traditional weaponry that could only hurt ghosts, but was pretty fun, and very colourful!
Oh. My. God. I had totally forgotten about Net Yaroze!
Absolutely loved those games - I remember that Official Playstation magazine disc that came with like 20 free titles to try! Think there was a future/sci-fi shooter that I spent quite a while playing through on that disc - as well as Blitter Boy and Net Yaroze Soccer, of course!
I have to say... as a kid they were great! They had shit graphics, but they were so simple they worked brilliantly. Scraping the bottom of my memory I remember there were 14 on the same disc as the MGS1 demo... this was the most played disc in the history of my PSX!
Yaroze Soccer was soo funny too! All the weird animations, and that all of your players ran at the same speed in formation... it worked well though... the mid way point between fifa games and table football!
There were quite a few maze games too.. probably born out of the obsession of 3D maze games on Windows95 at the time. Remember that screensaver where you watched a computer going thorough random generated mazes, hitting rats and stuff... crazy!
There was one maze game called 'The Incredible Coneman' who had to collect all the cones on the level! He moved so damn slow, and the music was one funky basline playing over and over again... to this day that bassline will randomly fall into my head! :|
I also remember a racing game that took place in a 3D psycodelic tube, and a top down gorey shooter that was also 2 player!
OH! And Terra Incognito (Don't ask how I remember that name! :S) which was the 3d platforming game, that was so disorientating it was practically impossible to play!
That's all the ones I remember...
