The unofficial/random “games like…”/game recommendation thread
Contrary to regular games recommendations, here everything is allowed: If you’re just watching “The Mummy” (like myself), you’re free to ask: Can you recommend adventure games like film The Mummy? You’re also free to ask: I want game with… pigs. Don’t expect the legit answer, though. You’re free to ask for a recommendation only after you’ve answered the previous question and explained your recommendation. (or you haven’t explained, because it’s such an obvious and perfect recommendation that it doesn’t need explaining)
I’ll start:
Can you recommend adventure game(s) like film The Mummy?

Quite obvious answer - Mummy: Tomb of the Pharaoh . Any better or more interesting egyptian adventures didnt come to my mind.
So, since I watched a few hong-kong movies lately, can you recommend adventure game related to this city (as I know only psxs Kowloon’s Gate)?
Currently playing: Ever 17, The Space Bar

That’s easy - Lost Horizon and Heart of China.
My cat scratched my finger this morning. Any games with cats that so that I can take my revenge?

What is it about cats in adventure games that leads to bad puzzles?
Either Secret Files: Tunguska with the eavesdropping cat or GK3 with the most famous cat puzzle of them all!
I recently watched the film Source Code which is about a guy who must relive the same 8 minutes in a parallel reality over and over again until he can catch the bad guy and maybe even save the day.
Can anyone recommend a game something like that?

The game I thought of first was Time Gentlemen, Please. In the sense that you have to go back in time and stop the bad guy. The only difference is the bad guy is your future self! There’s a short demo available.
I’m cold. I want a game with lots of warm sunny beaches (that isn’t Monkey Island)

Play any of the old Sierra titles and you’ll die so many times that you’ll relive the same scenes for even more than 8 minutes. (oh, and watch “12:01” and “Groundhog Day”)

Wait for Kinky Island.

Here’s your best bet.
This one seems to be good too.
P.S. I’m glad you’re scratched. Serves you right since you keep one of those sleeping-all-the-time furry flea-bags.

There is a hint of that in Ghost Trick where you see what happens then time rewinds and you have to do things to prevent it.
I just watched The Hangover. Can anyone recommend a game where you wake up with no memory and have to piece together the events of the past?

What about Orion Burger?

It’s more than a hint, imo.
Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective has a couple of moments in the game where it lets you go back in time to 4 minutes before a character has died, and you basically have 4 minutes to prevent the character’s death from happening again. If you fail, you can retry and redo the same 4 minutes over and over again until you succeed.
That’s probably the closest example to Source Code that you’ll ever find.
Also: Source Code was a great film. Director Duncan Jones (the son of David Bowie) has great potential, imo. He also directed Moon, which was a really good film too.
The only difference is the bad guy is your future self!
I hope that’s something they tell you early on in the game, and not something you just spoiled…

Having never seen Source Code I wasn’t sure how close the connection was.

I suggest you watch that film, I heartily recommend it. Do try to forget what’s been mentioned in this thread first, though (and don’t watch the trailer). The less you know about Source Code going into it, the better.
I just watched The Hangover. Can anyone recommend a game where you wake up with no memory and have to piece together the events of the past?
I’d be interested in something like that too!
As long as it’s like The Hangover and not like Dude, Where’s My Car?

I’ll check it out…and I’ve already forgotten what was written so I don’t have to worry about it being spoiled for me.
The Source Code was just on TV here but I managed to miss it, though I’ve hoped to see it on TV for a while… Hoping for a rerun
As long as it’s like The Hangover and not like Dude, Where’s My Car?
From what I’ve seen, Dude, Where’s My Car? is a much better movie than The Hangover I haven’t bothered to actually watch much of the Hangover though (I did see Dude, Where’s My Car by accident once - in the right state of mind it wasn’t actually that bad )
But this is all off-topic, so my apologies
So, back on topic sort of (and the latest request), I do actually seem to remember playing a game where I was piecing out forgotten memories, but staying in theme, I have completely forgotten what it may have been…
Source code is a good film and is strong enough that it doesn’t matter if the “science” doesn’t really make sense. Also I don’t think I spoiled anything that you wouldn’t find in any brief synopsis of the film anyway did I?
Thanks for the recommendations guys, although I’m not entirely sure i’ve understood how the thread works!
