In before fifty identical 'D' entries. The Warp game, not the hip hop
moniker.

The Daedalus Encounter (3DO) - I've played the first five minutes of this
game about a half dozen times. Tia Carrera is the gun-toting tough hottie,
and you're a disembodied head in a box. It's your job to make decisions
that your live-action subordinate then carries out, sometimes to hilarious
effect. One of the better excuses for an FMV game, but still not anything
that could hold my attention for very long.

Dino Crisis (DC/PSX) - I've got it on two platforms (and a number of later
sequels) and I haven't played any of them. Resident Evil with dinosaurs
sounds like a fabulous idea, but I always forget that I hate the fixed
camera and limited ammunition of the early RE spinoffs.

Demikids (GBA) - The kid-friendly Pokemon clone set in the Shin Megami
Tensei world. Picked up both versions of the game for a song from some
remainder sale online years ago, never got around to trying them. I hear
they're equal parts saccharine and horror.

Deep Space Nine: Crossroads of Time (MD) - DS9 is my favourite Star Trek
series, but I've yet to find a reason to stick with the one game based on
it. It looks vaguely like a side-scrolling King's Quest sort of adventure,
which is a shame because using a D-pad for control seems tedious. I wonder
if the Sega Mouse is compatible with this game.

Deep Fear (SAT) - It's supposed to be a great survival horror game, but I
hapepn to own the JPN-region version. That means all the spoken dialogue
is in English, but all the subtitles and menus and instructions are in
Japanese. I need to make a mental note to dig up the EU version at a later
date.

Dreamfall: The Longest Journey (Xbox) - I've played the first five minutes
of this game about two or three times as well. Need to make time to work
my way through this before the world ends in 2012.

Daedelus
Isometric purple thing on Atari ST. Looked interesting.
OK, I've just had a google and I think I'm remembering the name wrong.
It's not Damocles, either.
I think there were floating red blob enemies. Set on a space station?
Oh well.

Dreamfall
Ok, so I'm taking some inspiration from the parent post.
I own this game, but haven't played it because I want to play the
prequel first. Which I also own but have never played.

Daytona
Yes, I've played it, but I've never grokked it.

Daggerfall
One of the list of Elder Scrolls games that I've missed.

Dante's Inferno
It's after God of War in the queue. And I've not played God of War
yet. Doesn't look hopefull, this one, which is a shame because
screenshots looked like it had some brilliant level design. All
tongues and stuff.

Deuteros
Another game along with Damocles and Daedelus whose name has stuck in
my memory. Know nothing about it.

Dead Space
Still not got the courage to push on with this one.

Defcon
Introversion's War Game. Looks really good.

Demon's Souls
I've heard no end of hype about this game in the ng, but never
actually seen a screenshot!

Dizzy
Beyond a brief go on my mate's Spectrum. I think I preferred his copy
of Robocop. "Protect the innocent".

Defence of the ancients (DOTA)
I hear it's amazing. Not sure what it is, though, even. An RTS?

D/generation
A-ha! That's the game I was trying to remember.

Dig Dug
Never saw a machine running it. Never emulated it.

Got lost in the xmas post - only fair we give this thread another chance
today.

Dragon's Lair
Just looked like a really bad interactive cartoon to me

Duke Nukem 3D
Started on PC played 2 levels & then the game crashed, tried again on
PS1 got bored after 3 levels & then a failed PMG session with Toby &
Luffers on the space level I think?

Discworld
I've not read much of Terry Pratchett's material & thus had not interest
in playing the game of the book.

Deus Ex
I have both games on the PC somewhere just never got round to playing
them, wish they would receive a HD upgrade for the current generation.

Devil May Cry
Capcoms answer to Buffy the Vampire slayer, jump around, slash, slash &
kill. Rinse & repeat for another umpteen levels.

I recently bought this again for the umpteenth time. For the Android tablet.

Super little game.

It was brilliant. £1 for 12 seconds play!

I played a bit of DMC4 (I think? the 360 one) but didn't like it. Never
really bothered looking at the others.

Deus Ex
Wasn't interested when I realised it wasn't actually a sequel to Deus Ex
Machina.

Daikatana
I don't even know what this is. N64 FPS by Doom guy? I know it was the DNF
of its day.

You can watch a perfect play-through on Youtube these days. Arguably
the best way to play the game, with the "gameplay" expertly removed
from the equation.

Likewise, I've never played one. I quite fancy it, based on my
experience with Bayonetta. Similar?

Played the demo. It was pretty horrible. I remember robot frog
enemies.

The DVD version of the game has a "hands-free" mode, where it plays
itself.

While you wank over Daphne, presumably.

This game was the subject of an amount of hype, as it was to be John
Romero's magnum opus. It turned out to be not much more than a standard
vehicle shooter. Incidentally, some gamers had the biggest problem with
Romero's poor understanding of the Japanese language, as 'Daikatana' is an
improper pairing of a noun and a modifier.

Similar but not as good.
