I've lost the name of an old amiga game about pirates and merchants. You could trade goods in the ports, which were represented by a wooden table on a stone floor. There were different icons I think for the different options, the one for set sails was a water puddle with a sword stuck into it. That one is a little obscure maybe, the german expression for setting sails is to "stab the sea (in see stechen)", so it might be possible this game was a german release. You could buy cannons and different ships and mount the cannons on the ship. The travel screen was a top down view of the sea and your ship, this is were you do battle as well.

I played this Battleship game probably 6/7 years ago. It had regular boring battleship, but the other mode was really neat. You had dozens of classes of ships in an isometric battlefield, it was RTS/turn based sorta. You had islands with resources like cruise missiles, oil, whatever. They were neutral most of the time. And it had fleets of ships and planes and carriers and stuff. Missile launches and attacks had FMV-like clips that'd play really quick. Can't remember it.

Rather than start a new thread, I will bump this one. I am thinking of an arcade game from the mid to late 90's. It was a on-road/off-road rally cross game in a sit down cabinet. It had 3-d graphics. The 2 things that I remember most about it is that there was a handbrake lever next to the seat that you used to drift around corners, and one of the levels had a draw bridge that was up. The moment you went off the bridge, the game would start counting your distance and also list what the record distance for that jump on that machine was. Any clues?

Edit:^^ Think it might be one of the two Sega Rally games? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sega_Rally The second one, here, notes that it does indeed have a handbrake. http://www.arcade-game-sales.com/products/9365-3.html Way back in the day, the PS1 came with a sample disk of games, this one was the second edition. One of these was a game that involved a ship, or something. It was First person perspective. IIRC, it was in the top left corner of the selection screen. I think it might have been a Descent game, but I can't remember. The disk also had 2 Extreme on it, if that helps anyone. Chairon fucked around with this message at 07:24 on Dec 8, 2008 |

Many years ago there was this incredible game (probably for the PSX or N64) that I can't remember the name of. All I remember was that it was probably a 3d-esque sidescroller with 2(?) different characters and one of them was probably a jester. Sorry for the crap info. This has just been bothering me for a long time.

I played a demo maybe 3 years ago on the PC, it was an RTS city builder in which you controlled a bunch of vikings, I don't remember much aside from that the vikings looked Settlers cutesy and that there were wolfs in the demo. I've been trying to find it for months without luck.

1.) I am trying to find the name of a late-80s-early-90s Zelda-esque game for DOS that I remember playing about once or twice on my cousin's computer. It had a top-down view, and every time you moved to the edge of the screen you appeared on an entirely new screen to move around on (no scrolling, like the legend of zelda for nes). I'm pretty sure you started off the game with no sword, and I remember wandering around in frustration until I found a hut with a witch inside, who promptly turned me into a frog, so I hopped around the map a bit, but got no farther than that. The graphics looked pretty basic, but they weren't ASCII, and there were at least 8-16 colors. I also kind of remember something about going near a lake and there being a sea monster in it, and at the very beginning there was a cave you could go into with an old man who told you your quest or something. That's all I can remember, I was only about 7-8 at the time, but finding out what game I was playing has been eating away at me for years! edit: 2.) I just remembered another game, it was a sidescrolling beat'em up for the SNES for 1-2 players where you were both robots and could pick different parts to have in your robot. I remember not having the pneumatic legs or whatever that let me jump far, and this causing my death when there was a chasm we had to jump over. It is possible the game was for NES but I am pretty sure I played it on the Super. shen fucked around with this message at 23:50 on Dec 9, 2008 |

There was this game I had on my old Compaq - at the very least this was 10 years ago. It was some kind of rpg - the menu was black screen and white text. You could pick a team of 6-12 members I think, and selecting a job/type/class to the corresponding number listed on the legend(1 was Wizard, 2 was Ninja, etc) and they'd fill up the member slots. There were some crude graphics somewhere - I don't remember what. The problem is, once I selected the team, I could never get the game to play, so I'm just sitting there with a black screen and a list full of Wizards and Ninjas. This had to have been an old rear end game, like I said, at the very least 10 years old, probably even 15. It most likely came with the PC (I'm guessing it was a Compaq). Does anyone have any clue what game this was?

This is an extreme long shot. What I'm looking for here isn't a game so much as a tech demo. I think that it was packaged in with a GeForce 2 card years and years ago. You started as a dolphin underwater swimming around with all these other dolphins, but then if you swam fast and jumped out of the water, you transformed into a bird and could fly around. Diving as the bird back into the water transformed you back into a dolphin. Does anyone have any clue what I'm talking about/know where I can find it?

Back before I had an Atari 5200, I had some other game machine... but I was too young to remember what it was. I also remember two games I played on this mystery system. 1. Was a pirate themed text adventure. This was before I could read so my mom would read the text to me and ask me what I wanted to do. There was a part in the game where if you stood on a window sill and said "yo ho" you would teleport to somewhere else. Also there was a prison with an open cell with a note in it, and if you went into the cell to read the note, then the cell shut behind you. The note said "game over" or something to that effect. 2. You were a little dude with a tooth brush and you were inside a mouth scrubbing plaque off teeth, and little green things (germs?) would attack you to try and prevent you from cleaning the teeth. If a tooth got too dirty it would die, if too many teeth died you would lose the game. So what game system was this? What games were these?

Okay, here's one I've been looking for for a few years now. Early/mid-90s fantasy-based R(?)TS. Many different types of creatures, which notably you can combine on a screen into bigger, stronger ones. If I'm not mistaken, there was a world screen where you could move armies around on a possibly hex-based grid and when armies encountered each other it would go down into a battle screen where I believe the map was oriented diagonally (one player in bottom left, one in top right). All the art appeared to be hand-drawn and had a pulpy fantasy style to it. It was definitely not anything from the Heroes of Might and Magic series; it's much more obscure. Any ideas?

Alright. Let's give this a shot. The game I'm looking for was a rather complex building demolition simulator. You could set individual charge types/timing/amounts, and were tasked with destroying a specific building with a set amount of money. The graphics were simple, although that may not be due to age; it was most likely on a DOS platform. There were different building materials that reacted differently to certain force, and causing collateral damage to other buildings in the area would pretty much bankrupt your company. I've spent a long, long time on Google searching for this; the name may not be in English or related to the nature of the game at all. For some reason I keep thinking Eastern European in nature? Thanks in advance. e: was NOT a flash game, or really any of the high-tech physic-y stuff of recent times.

This one has been driving me nuts for years. Pretty sure its a Playstation game, set on a space station/planet or something a bit sci-fi. It had rpg and fighting elements, jrpg style health bars and "wrestling" style moves you could learn. It also had some odd plot which might have involved clones.
