Alright, I've got another one, this one significantly harder. It's a PC mid to late 90s RTS, Sci-Fi, Humans vs Aliens, I think. The aliens were brown and the leader was kind of tentacled with a big face in the middle. This could just be a distorted memory of Starcraft from when I was about 5, but I don't think so. I don't remember it very well.

Screen shots are kind of hard to distinguish whether it matches your description or not.

There was this Windows FPS game that featured both person-to-person gunfights as the ability to mount Mechs. Strangely enough I think I can remember the name of the first level/mission in the game - "Silence before the storm". That's all I can tell about it, really.

A multiplayer-only shareware game for Macintosh, from the 90s, because I played it in high school. You piloted a polygonal 'mech that was kind of ostrich-shaped, and you could choose different weights iirc, but you only had two guns and had to watch your heat. I remember that the player's game camera was an actual invisible object in-game, and if you pushed it into an object and jumped just right, you could jump onto it and ride your own player camera way up into the air to snipe people while they said "WTF?!" It was outrageously fun and played really really smoothly online, considering I was on a 33.6 or 56k modem at the time.

I once played a text-based game online that was a copy of an old Apple II game, where you were a trader sailing around South Asia. You could buy and sell things like opium and cloth and I think you also had to buy stuff to run your ship (food for crew, etc). I remember the name being vaguely Chinese--something like Taipei or Shanghai.

This one goes back ages. It for for the Apple II GS. It was an adventure/RPG game. There may have been puzzles but I can't recall. I seem to remember it being isometric. I seem to recall the title screen was a castle and then a wizard with a beard and after awhile his face turned into a skull.

This could mean the game sucked eggs, but I'm being driven by pure desire to know. This sounds a lot like a game that came out for the gamecube at or around launch, called Lost Kingdoms.

I'll take a shot at asking about one... There was an old PC game (in the like 286/386 era) that was about the Knights of the Round Table and all the legends in that era (Merlin, Excalibur, etc)... the game came with a big map with coat-of-arms banners along the outside that served as the copy protection. You recruited people from that era and you could then pick areas on the map to go to where it would be a kind of 2-D King's Quest looking side view with all of your people. And usually you would get your rear end kicked by something there. Also I think you could find Merlin but he was frozen in ice or something. It was really hard, but pretty fun, I'd like to at least see if I can find the title to read/remember more about it.

The only thing I can think of that sort of fits, is the Sierra Inc. game Conquest of Camelot: The Search for The Grail. http://www.mobygames.com/game/dos/conquests-of-camelot-the-search-for-the-grail The only problem is, I don't remember much of it, apart from leaving the castle without praying in the chapel made you die, because the castle gate would fall on you as you left, so I'm not really sure it's the one you're after.

I had an old mac game (early 90's) that was a side-scrolling shooter. You were a weird shaped space ship flying on some loving trippy alien planet. I only remember seeing tentacles and eyes and bright colors and such. I've been trying to remember it for years. Also, anyone that was really young at the time ever figure out how to play sim earth? I played it all the time but never loving figured anything out, I just made ice and jungles everywhere.

Here's one from when I still used AOL to download games.  It was an old IF/text-adventure sort of game. You were a babysitter taking care of a kid who got into lots of situations, like getting stuck in the toilet, pitching pennies with a hobo, things like that. There was also a sequel where you went to an amusement park and tried to revive the place by making offerings to carnival spirits at a merry-go-round...? Anyone know?

yo. I'm trying to remember the name of this game which had an Egyptian theme. It was a FPS - I'm pretty sure there was some shooting involved, but the only weapon I remember is some sort of staff with a crystal in it. The levels consisted of various temples, maybe some pyramids, mostly at night with flaming torches for light. The other feature I remember is switches like push blocks with bloody hand prints on them. It's pretty old, so it might have been the BUILD engine. I think I was playing it around the same time as Blood. It reminds me of Stargate in hindsight, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't connected to the movie in any way.

Ps1 game I played about 5-10 years ago, I don't remember much about it at all. Starred two scantily clad female leads, I think they were thieves or ninjas or agents or something. It was an overly cinematic game that looked fairly cartoony. I only really remember one scene. The two leads are on an elevator, and for some reason they were afraid the security guard watching via a security camera would recognize them, so they started making out to avoid detection? I remember it making sense at the time, or I didn't care because I was 15. The game took EVERY opportunity to show the leads in as little clothing as possible. It was hilarious. I remember the game having like 4 cd's and you had to switch between them constantly. Like, go down a corridor, insert disk 2, next room, disk 4. It was really frustrating. I know this is REALLY vague, and I can't even remember what the gameplay was like. Makes me realize just how sick my mind was back then.

This is probably way too vague, but I had a old(played it on my dad's Aptiva back in 1997 or 1998) PC space strategy game and have forgotten the title. Basically, you ran a government in every aspect, including a pretty cool ship building/space combat engine which was in 3d. This was definitely the best part of the game. Resource management and research/development was key. I would always lose, which resulted in a cutscene in which assassins attacked my palace and killed me (pretty much the only distinct thing that I recall). If anyone has some titles that sound like this I'd appreciate it.

I've had one that I haven't been able to figure out for a while. It was on a PC Gamer disc back in the day and used the Quake FPS engine, or something at least very similar. you shot guys and they were military I think. You started at(at least in the demo) a power-station during a storm in the rain and one of the only things I remember was the sound of a window, barely open and off of its hinges, gently blowing against the side of the building. It was quite atmospheric, but apparently not enough for me to remember the goddamn game or much else. Torrim fucked around with this message at 23:35 on Oct 8, 2008 |

There's a game from my childhood that I played at a friend's house. It was a caveman themed sidescrolling platform game on an acorn or some such old floppy disk based computer. I remember some form of a boxing match boss where the enemy was huge in comparison to the player. Pretty sure there was some pixelated nudity on the cave girls too - awesome. (No, I don't mean Lost Vikings)

This one has been bugging me forever. There was a strategy game-modern/futuristic, isometric graphics, came out probably just around the time Empire Earth did (not sure?) i remember it somehow being tied to Total Annihilation, but it is not TA. It is also not C&C/Red Alert/Tib. Wars-better graphics than all of those, basically someone made TA2-type of game, I think it came out right around the time that strategy games started going fully 3d.... I know this is a crock of an explanation, but 'tis the best i can offer at the moment. It was futuristic right away so it's not EE (obviously)
