Some old PC game I got as a birthday gift at least 8-9 years ago. It was a medieval setting with 4 heroes that you eventually gathered and could play as, while the three others were NPC controlled until you switched. There was a swordsman, an archer, a wizard, and a barbarian. It was an over head view, I remember you always started as the swordsman and he had like... bags of explosive powder he could throw. I really want to say the name was some version of the word "Quest" but I have no idea.

I think you had a robotic arm weapon (???) or something that you collected upgrades for. This has been driving me crazy. It could be One.

It's a side-scroller, and you have this cool arm you can grab and slam stuff with.

Sega Genesis game, it was a side scrolling action RPG and you could pick between I think 3 different characters - a human warrior dude, a mage who I think was a chick and like a dwarf guy. It was completely flat, not isometric like Golden Axe (which sounds very similar I admit but this was not the same series at all). I remember it was very darkly colored and I just thought it was really cool when I was a kid, but I don't remember much else about it or even if I ever got very far in it. I recall that it was pretty hard, you only got 1 life or something.

There was this game I played as a kid in school. This would've been in 1996 (in New Zealand). The game was on the classroom computer (or mac?), and because of that may have been an educational game, possibly about the environment. If so, it was aimed at kids around 9 or so. The game was sort of a point and click adventure I think. There wasn't a character on screen as far as I remember. The screens may have been photographs, or at least pre-rendered backgrounds where you could choose a direction to go, leading you to another photo. There was some animation for objects or creatures because I remember things moving in the screens. It was set in a forest for at least part of the game. One screen had a building in it. I think you had a guide or some kind that was an owl, or perhaps I just saw an owl in the game. It had at least two separate areas, because I remember advancing from the first set of screens and being really excited. Hopefully someone else has played this and can help me out.

N64 game, side scrolling action. Wacky Japanese art and your grandfather (?) gets kidnapped right off the bat and you have to go rescue him. You had a little rocket booster thing and just ran through the levels punching and throwing bad guys. You could pick up weapons and somehow combine them to make more awesome weapons. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

I think this was released in 2002 and I never played it but I heard about it from PvP. It had to do with steampunk and I remember pictures of steam-jetpack men and floating, steam-powered islands. I think it might've been an MMORPG. If anyone remembers the comic that referenced it, the punchline was, in describing what "steampunk" was, "it's like 'The Wild Wild West, only it doesn't suck'" (if that helps). I know it's not a lot to go on but it's been driving me crazy...

Just thought of one. This was an arcade game that I played a ROM of back in 2003. It was a 2D fighter with anime graphics that wasn't part of any series that I know of. It was very stylish, and I'm almost certain there was a character named Cool. Cool might have been wearing a white button-down shirt and have had a haircut that made him look like a male model, or that might have been another character. I remember thinking the characters were unusually well-dressed. I want to say there was a typewriter font used, and the whole atmosphere of the thing was anime film noir, but that might be wrong. I'd date it around 1997 or more recent, as it looked at least as good as Street Fighter 3.

I've got one. It was an arcade game, I played it probably 6 or 7 years ago. Standard side-scrolling beat 'em up, mostly involving punching zombies. The characters were a girl, a dude with a trench coat who had a psychic crystal thing, and a big dude. There super moves were like full-screen summoning sequences. I think the crystal dude made ice everywhere? I am pretty sure most of the zombies exploded a little when you killed them. Oh, and the dude threw off his coat at the beginning of each level, for no apparent reason.

I've been trying to remember the name of an old NES (maybe SNES) game that involved piloting a mining spaceship into asteroids and other planetoids to retrieve via tractor beam or grappling hook various crystals, salvageable junk, and upgrades for your ship. The whole while you were battling gravity and maybe the occasional monster. It's been killing me for a few days now...

A third person fantasy game for the PC, the title had something to do with masks. Like, "blah blah mask" or "mask blah blah" not entirely sure which. I remember it was really, really dark, and I never got further than playing it for a few minutes so I can't really say anything else. edit: This was a long, long, LONG time ago. Around the time Half-Life came out.

I played a game at an arcade in the nineties that involved a sequence with a top-down solarsystem view where you would move your ship around to pick various planets, and then once one was selected it would switch to a side-scrolling shooter with lots of little tiny guys walking around you could gib--I think they were reptilian.

Sounds like Strike Force to me. Haven't found any better screenshots, but you'd fly between planets via overhead, then blow away all the little reptile guys via sidecrolling.

Alright I got a doozy of one for you. Game I played on my classes apple in first grade. I know that the game had to be out by 1990, but I have no real idea how much older it could be. You played as some kind of alien and the game decided on a princess (?) alien thing to rescume. The major discernible features were at the start the game showed a three screen scene of your little UFO flying over water and then landed. It was a 3/4 overhead perspective (well as good as that hardware could do) and in the middle of the map running horizontally there was a river and two of the screens with the river had bridges. One of the bridges would break and if you didn't jump off it would carry you to the right and you would go down a waterfall. At the south end of the map there was a castle and I want to say a big purple monster thing. (but not 100% sure on that). This has been driving me mad for well over a decade.

Anno 1602 / 1602 AD? I'm not sure there's any capturing (though there is warfare), but sounds right other than that - the only units you actually control are the ships, the townsfolk are automated.

PC, freeware. You're a spaceship without any weapons, so you have to redirect the enemies missiles to them. It's from the same maker as the other game i can't remember the name off. You're a spaceship and you fight boss battle after boss battle and the boss adapts to your strategies. *sigh* Never mind. Ray-hound, by the same guy who made Warning Forever. shelper fucked around with this message at 00:42 on Jan 26, 2009 |

Korean MMMORPG. There were different British and US versions with different names and some differences. The first world had crabs and you started in a city surrounded by shallow water. There was a soccer field where you could kill other players. There was an island where you'd fight high-level monsters. You could travel to a fiery hell world with demons and hard dungeons to the north and south. There were big devil monsters with chainguns that would kill you guarding the dungeons. There was a grassy level with really tough dinosaurs and you could kill other players in it. The devs hyped up a big dragon killing event, but the servers lagged out and half the players couldn't see the dragon. There were 4 classes. Humans with energy weapons, big melee dudes, wizards and small green fairyelfs. You could put gems in guns to make them more powerful.

I hope someone here can help me, it's been driving me insane for years. PC game, DOS, circa 93-95, possibly earlier. It was a sidescroller puzzle game (I think), you controlled chromed robots, which at a keypress would change into other robots (you had like 4 robots aspects you could change into). One of those had tracks instead of legs and shot roockets from it's eye socket. The objective was to get to the next level I guess. You sometimes had to blow up other robots in your path.

Thank God I actually browsed for this thread before starting a new one. I've got a game that I can't find the name of, not even after browsing a list of 200 from the mobygames site. UGH. There was a futuristic racing game for the Playstation in which your vehicle was tethered to an electric wire that ran along the entire course of the map. You basically controlled forward thrust and circular rotation around the wire. So you didn't really steer but rather aimed yourself so your vehicle didn't hit other vehicles, obstacles, or to get a good aim to shoot some weapon you have. The thing I remember most about the game (other than having a great sense of speed) is that there was some cheat that would unlock a cow as the vehicle. And it was something like twice as fast as the fastest vehicle in the whole game. It was just ridiculous. Please, name that game! e: VVVVV Thank you! I glanced at the mobygames entry too quickly. Ugh. Oh and while we're at it, once again I've forgotten the name of a futuristic basketball-like Playstation game in which there was a disc in the middle of the court that players threw the ball into (and it would swing around the outside of the disc before throwing it back out onto the court) and the defense could hit a button to close shutters on the side of the disc to prevent the ball from going in. Name that game too! DaveKap fucked around with this message at 11:44 on Jan 26, 2009 |

Possibly Professional Underground League of Pain, but I haven't played it in ~a decade and I don't really remember the shutters aspect. One of those games I picked up on a whim because, hey, it looked like Speedball or Bill Lamber's Combat Basketball with way more awesome graphics. Yea. Not so much. edit - Oh hey, it was called "Riot" in Europe and on PC. roushimsx fucked around with this message at 13:22 on Jan 26, 2009 |
