Yeah, it has "Indie Royale" written all over it.

I know this is the wrong thread but since you all are talking about old games, anyone remember the game with the blue and pink ants that would run around in a maze, had sex with each other, then have babies. Your job was to kill them all by placing bombs and mines all over the place. I forgot the name and have probably spent an hour or so searching google for it. I am only 21 so that is the first computer game I remember besides microsofts pinball which is easily found online.

More relevant, I remember in high school computer class someone brought a copy of counter strike and we proceeded to load it to all the computers and would have 45 minute CS LAN parties after we did 5 minutes of work.

sounds like you're describing daikatana

Nope, just looked it up and that's not at all it. Haha I guess i didn't describe it very well. It's literally an over the top view of like a grey maze with little virtual ants (blue are male and pink are female) who have sex with each other when they run into each other, then about 10 seconds later the female pops out some baby ants, who in time, get bigger and become adults who can then mate with their brothers and sisters haha. All the while you are trying to control the ant population by strategically placing bombs and mines. But you only have a limited amount of bombs and mines so it made the game difficult. I've asked all my friends and nobody remembers it let alone the name. I figured out of all you diehard PC gamers someone will know it.

Also, if it helps anyone to remember, they made a funny sound when they were having sex. Sounded like a male breathing heavily, and when the lady gave birth it made a popping sound.

Waveform is pretty cool, most indie games don't appeal to me at all but this one's gotta be worth $1.74.

still sounds like daikatana, are you sure that's not it?

When I google daikatana all I get is a FPS shooting game. If that's what you are referring to then that is not it. Google "maze-o-rama", it looks very similar to that but with the gameplay I described.

I 'lol'ed.

I am so sorry for missing the last Happy Hour guys!

I have been out of town visiting my grandfather who has not been doing too well health wise.

I have all of the copies now and I got them for $1.53 a person.

I am shooting out the PMs now!

Sorry again!

I'm currently checking out some gameplay videos to see if Waveform is my type of game. Thus far, it looks fascinating, making the player control the path instead of the unit itself. (Reminds me a bit of the frequency "mini-game" from Arkham Asylum.)

Though the bundle possibility is high, it's hard to argue with $1.74. (Plus, it's only 24 cents for the DLC.)

Yeah, controlling the path caught me off guard. I didn't get an accurate sense of the gameplay at all from watching the trailer, I had the impression you controlled the cursor that rides the path. The gameplay's pretty unique, for me.

Any idea what platform it was for? You've now spread the disease to me.

Waveform has a demo that's less than a GB. I played it and my conclusion is that it's not worth $2 so I'll wait for a bundle.
