What's the name of these games?

[Texas Red]

It was probably released in the 90. It's an arcade beat em up and all characters are electronic appliances. You could play either 2 character: a faster, more agile "red" appliance or a tougher, slower one.

For some reason I remember the name to be Electronic People or Electronic Bubble, but Googling didn't help.

Second game is a strategy. You play these different monsterish floating guys and it's an arcade, too. It was released somewhere in the 90s as well.

What was that 3D 1995-1998 game where you design (I think?) and control robots in various environments? It was called something like G.......ar?

 

[Multi-headed Cow]

Only thing sorta like that that comes to mind is Roboforge but that's not exactly as you said. In Roboforge you build and "Program" your robot and it does its own thing from that point forward.

And huh, apparently Roboforge is free to play now. Wonder if anyone's even in any of the tournaments.

 

[potatojohn]

Nope it was more environmental, with slopes and lava (?). The game was very early 3D, I don't think it was even accelerated, grey and brown. The robots IIRC were spider-like. They actually looked like primitive chips.

For some reason I associate the word 'madagascar' with it, but searching came up with nothing.

Colobot? You designed robots that you had to program to do varios stuff. Quite an interesting early 3d game.

I remembered it!!! It was called Galapagos - https://www.mobygames.com/game/galapagos I never did try it, I just remember seeing a review

Colobot sounds interesting too.

Galapagos was pretty shit. I recall trying the demo of it ages ago.

Roboforge otoh was awesome. I won 100 kwabucks in tourneys back when it was new using various iterations of SpoonBot™.
Basically it was a small hover chassis, entirely encased in shields, with a bigass arm on a rotate+pivot joint. The arm was encased in shields as well, with a spike at the tip. Used 3 cogitators and a pretty complex program to constantly circlestrafe without getting stuck on the arena walls and kpet the enemy at an optimal distance to hit them from above with the spike.

Spoonbot was eventually replaced with SpinBot. spinbot swapped the giant arm lever for a stack of rotating joints with 4 spinning blades attached. The AI was simpler since all it really had to do was hang back until the arms had built up momentum, then collide with the enemy robot for maximum damage.

If someone on the codex is up for doing some roboforge combat, I'd join in. We could decide on a price limit on robot parts, then upload our designs to somewhere and do a robot knockout ladder and post screenies in the playground.

Im also looking for a game.

You play as a knight, I think it was called black knight or something but havent been able to find anything searching for that. It's either NES or SNES. Grimdark graphics, slow paced, you dont go bouncing around like in regular platformer. You sometimes fight other knights in duels, and I remember them being crazy hard, you need to time blocks and ducks and shit.

I think someone posted something on it here a while back. I watched a few videos and was genuinely impressed. Would appreciate someone posting the name and going through a video LP.
