It's a game I played a lot around.. 15 years ago? haha. Anyway it's a game where you can pick out of like 8 robot classes and you basically have to fight other robots in a 2D style in a small arena.
With key combinations you could make funky moves. There was this big robot (who raped every other robot, totally imba) who could lift another robot up and smash him on the wall if that helps.
After every fight you could upgrade your endurance, speed and vitality (iirc). I thought of it because of the fighting game video topic and I was wondering if anyone knows what I'm talking about.

Woah that game I've not heard of, but what system did you play it on?
|

Yeah it does sound like One Must Fall: 2097, which you can download from here, it being freeware now.

Hahaha yeah it's One Must Fall: 2097 for sure! That looks totally like it. My memory is a bit vague but I recognize the robot on the left.

OMF was awesome. Try to run it in DOSbox, it works great.
|
wow i totally remember that game!
|
Wow I remember playing that when I was about 8.

One must fall is one of my favorite games :D. I played this soo much when I was around 8. I'm playing this now (with DOSBOX), lots of replay value. The Nova (big bot you were referring to) actually isn't very strong. The highest tier bots are the gargoyle and shredder, jaguar too. When you do tournament mode always choose hardest difficulty...I can't really tell the difference between the levels anyway, and you can get enhancements and stuff from beating unranked challengers.

omfg yes one must fall this was the first game I mastered I knew a fucking 18 hit combo with shredder which would take like 65% of opponents hitpoints with fully upgraded robots omgggg crystal and shadow could both pull off like 22 hit combos but they were much weaker
also this game was so cool because theres a HUGE amount of easter eggs. there are secret settings which improve the game, there are addon weapons for some of the bots that you can only get through fighting secret characters which you can only get through doing secret "scrap" and "destruction" moves after winning, some only on certain arenas and some only against certain opponents in tournament mode i loved this game so much haha

nova isnt the worst to play against if fully upgraded, but the first time you play through tournament mode he is usually the hardest cuz hes significantly more upgraded than everyone else.
fully enhanced katana with 5 hit rolling blade or whatever it was called and fireball enhancement is prolly the bet bot I think, or shredder. I dont think jaguar or gargoyle are all that good, althrough gargoyle rapes the computer like no other cause it just sucks at defending against the "throw into wall" trick. :p
chronos is one of the coolest characters ever, as is shadow. theres just incredible creativity in designing the fighters in this game flail is so cool too :D
|
omfg tl.net stirs my memory again :D
this game was fukn epic back in the days.

im playing it now when I slowed down speed to the lowest possible level it became perfect hehe
also, one of the most important things, when you do play this, you should like, while you are in the main menu, hold down the keys "2097" at the same time afterwards to to the "gameplay" setting and suddenly you can edit "advanced" settings. this is important because it allows you to select "rehit mode" which really enhances the game a lot.
rofl I think its like 10 years since I even touched this game and I still remember jaguars scrap and all his tricks I think I played this too much back in the day

Ok got it to work with dosbox but now it's asking me to select a soundcard but I can't select anything.
Ah lol I have to install it first probably.
|
|
I cannot get this to work with Vista and yes I checked the Vista troubleshooting page. I suck when it comes to modifying registries.
I can get to the setup page, i.e. choose your sound card, and what quality, but after that my screen flashes with something from Epic Games. It asks you to buy the full game or something ;/

I don't remember much about this game except grinding in the demo to get the fire wielding robot that would torch everyone. He was pretty sweet.

Thanks a lot for the help by the way .
|
I remember Ibrahim being ridiculously hard. I was also around 6 at the time.
|
I totally forgot about this game. Seeing that image is so amazing! The memories ;D
|
thx for the links, they are well appreciated ^^
|
Haha I used to play this heaps.
Was kinda easy once you figured out the imbaness of certain bots. I used to just camp in a corner with shadow and just shadow hold/uppercut people constantly.
Fun, fun game though.

ya there are some really abusive things you can do with almost every bot I just played through with all tournament mode on heavy metal with jaguar, lost like 10 out of 90 matches but almost only vs unranked challengers and some of those are actually very hard early on cuz their bots are like twice as good as yours t.t
|
Death Rally was another sick old game.
Anyone played that?
|
Best game ^ _^;;
There was also a sequal to this, One must fall : battlegrounds.. wasnt super good, but it had it's cuteness aswell.
I loved the chronos aswell, teleport spam!! and jaguar overhead throw All the bots played so uniquely, was killer fun, IS KILLER FUN..And the diffrent arenas were also very well done Everyone go play!!!! =)
(Death Rally was also very fun atleast on LANs)
|
Norway28669 Posts
haha I played death rally tons too, also a super great game :D I remember I completed it in some insanely low amount of rounds, started out on medium with unupgraded worst car and ended up winning every single round I tried to do that with dosbox but it ended up being super super slow for some reason, maybe possible to fix that tho but either way it wasnt really playable. 
|
|
what the... i'm playing it now, and i'm getting owned by the environments. i need more skill
|
Fun game! Haha memories of like... 1995? Something around then.
I always thought Jaguar was a pretty good robot. Shredder, Chronos also good.
|
hahahahaha, I'm so fukin glad that i'm not the only one that have good memories of theses games. I was just about to close this firefox windows when i just slighty read "must fall" before closing it and gone : "fuk it wtf what that, reopen firefox NOW, if it's really what i think it is !!!" God. This was my only reason to get to somewhere else beside my house as I was a child playing a lot of sports out and wasn't "nerdy". In this case it was my uncle living 100 kms off my house which was like the only one to hold a "good" computer back in the days ^_^. Also it has had some nice games like : Off-Road (seriously this game was friggin hard, I don't remember having finished it); or Indark (aka : Random in the Dark ) the rest you probably know : prince of persia, doom, and many more i don't remember.
|
I could never get it to work on XP, the sound was fucked up with DOSBox... there was also something called DOSMusic or something which supposedly solved sound problems with old DOS programs (they simulated an old SoundBlaster or something), but then the video was fucked
Jaguar > all! Believe me! You must!
|
Oh, I forgot how much i liked the electra too! So fast, its combos can be pretty ridiculous. And crystal was hard for me to beat when i first started playing. In single player crystal + electra was ballin....and chronos was badass in 2 player. What a great game...
|
OMF
OMFG
This game was SO good.
|
played this too some 10 years ago i guess..nice find
|
I only had a demo of One Must Fall 
But Death Rally, on the other hand, I played SO much. I even dl'ed and installed it a couple of months ago and completed it on all 3 difficulties
