Anyone remember this game? Maybe James?

It was the game that introduced me to OHRRPGCE, and I thought it was pretty cool. Had some cool music, too if I remember.

I think it was made by a team called "Atomic Knights" but their old AOL website is down.

I remember I downloaded the game through AOL's freeware game section.

Any info you can provide, or a copy of the game? It's been driving me crazy for 10 years.

I remember the name, but never played the game. Try emailing rinkuhero@gmail.com about it.

Actually I'm pretty sure the title is Atomic Knights for all their games and Heart of Riva was just the subtitle. I played all parts of their games because I somehow liked how random the gameplay was.

Only thing Google turns up is the big list of releases for the 2002 OHRlympics (god i remember that). It appears with others under the series Atomic Knights, but there is no link associated. http://moogle1.stormpages.com/ohr/biglist.html

Your best chance is that someone out there has an old copy, in which case I'd go with Moog's suggestions of asking Rinku.

It's DÃ©jÃ vu.

That person probably hasn't been here in ages, but you might try asking him/her. It's worth a shot.

Everybody's talking about this game, so I'm interesting in finding a copy as well and see what all the hubbub is about.

I might have the totally outdated parts someone where on my old HDs...

Also the main Atomic Knights game was once in the top 30: http://www.castleparadox.com/rinku/Septa/ohrmonthly/0900top30.html

Heart of Riva was the sequel/prequel to Atomic Knights: Apocolypse, which was one of my favorite older OHR games. I can't seem to find either. :\

I bet it was in my big collection of RPG files... which I lost in a hard drive failure on one of my old computers :(

It is actually right under my desk as I type this, but if I turn it on it just goes "click click click sccccrape!"

EDIT: FamicomFreak has a copy. See screenshots here

If I get a copy of this game, I'll make a website for it (one page, nothing facny, just somewhere people can google and maybe find the game, because I thought it was pretty good and challenging for a game that isn't hosted anywhere. It was a long time ago, maybe it sucks, lol, we'll see.

Why does the game need for you to make a site for it? It'll be fine just to be hosted here.

Jeez, everyone's so uptight about this. The game isn't hosted anywhere. I've wanted to play it for like 8 years. I didn't know you could upload games to this site that you didn't make, and while uploading games here is well and good, it IS a barrier to other people who might otherwise play the game if a game doesn't have another website. All in all I'm too lazy to make a page for it anyway, but I remember it being good and just thought that this forgotten title could use some exposure.

I don't think we're being uptight about anything.

It just seems like going out of your way to make a tribute site for the game would be kind of troublesome. Neutral

Let's jut forget the tribute site idea and get the game hosted on CP :)

But you don't actually have the game, which is the larger issue here.
