The texts are terrifying, what’s mildly infuriating is that I have no idea what order to read them in because after the first image it’s just a rant so it could really go in any direction.
Mine has to be Dragon Quest: Rocket Slime, a DS spin off of the Dragon Quest series that sees you playing as a slime operating a tank and rescuing the people from your town. You run around the overworld, collecting items to use as ammunition and saving money to upgrade your tank. The art and music are just as great as you’d...
Other people know Rocket Jockey?! My friends and I have LAN paries every now and again and it is one of our staple games (although it sometimes runs like trash on modern systems over network). There are communities out there with the ISO floating around and some widescreen/network patches.
There is even a remake project that is still actively in development, but I’m pretty sure it’s just one guy working on it, so it’s been slow moving for years. You can download beta builds for free.
Edit: Also the soundtrack is absolutely insane. I actually saw a car commercial on TV recently that used the title music and I was like “HEY THAT’S THE ROCKET JOCKEY SONG”… But apparently, it was an actual band/artist that did the soundtrack, so it’s not “taken from the game” so to speak.
Yes! Thanks for linking the soundtrack. The artist that did the soundtrack, or who’s songs were used for the soundtrack was Dick Dale, who is most famous for his song Misirlou (AKA - the Pulp Fiction theme).
It was a really early CD-Rom game, probably 1993ish. You started off in the stone ages using sticks and rocks, fighting off bad guys and solving puzzles, and you’d move through time using the weapons of that era. I don’t think I would classify it as an educational game because outside of the weapons and settings, I don’t...
The game you are referring to is likely “The Lost Tribe,” also known as “The Lost Tribe: Fire, Ice, and Water.” It was a PC game released in 1993. In the game, you start in the stone age and progress through various historical eras, such as the Ice Age and the era of the Inca civilization. You solve puzzles and fight enemies using weapons and tools appropriate to each era.
So I’m planning on purchasing a laptop. I’m from India and here laptops are generally priced 20-30% higher than the US price because of import tax. I like what I’m getting with the MSI Core i5 12th Gen - (16 GB/1 TB HDD/256 GB SSD/Windows 11 Home/8 GB Graphics/NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060) Thin GF63 12VF-268IN. After exchange...
I would definitely save a little more for the 4060. VRAM is an incredibly valuable resource these days, and 8gb is basically bare minimum. I still wouldn’t expect the 4060 machine to be an excellent performer, but if it’s all you can afford, it’s all you can afford.

Help! Can't remember a title of an early CD-Rom game where you fought through the ages and into the future. SOLVED: Time Commando
