Mac game, mid 90s. was based all in the future and i believe, you traveled to other planets but it all took place in city-like environments. it was all first-person where you just click on the environments. at the end of the game, you meet the daughter or something and you can make her say whatever you type.

Ez posted:I remember seeing a game in Wal Mart back when I was about 10 or so (so about 11 years ago). It was a PC game that had something to do with caves that had giant crystals in them, which somehow either held naked women inside them, or at least had something to do with naked women. This could be TekWar or Immercenary.

I used to have (in the late 90s) a PC shareware space trading game where you were an alien and you traveled to different planets to buy and sell. It had "-opoly" or "-ocracy" in the name, something like that...it's a long shot, I know.

This game isn't out yet. There was a trailer for it somewhere and it look incredible. I think it's for a handheld. I want to say it's a PSP game, but I'm unsure... could be DS. The game is sort of like the PSP's Crush in that you can switch from 2d to 3d at any time (and you have to in order to beat the levels. However, it's not a puzzler, it's a platformer. It's art style is really cute, really well done pixel art. I went to look up more information on this game and realized I'd forgotten the name.

Hopefully this wasn't already mentioned (only read through the first 5 pages or so), but there was this PC game I vaguely remember from the mid-90's in which your character and some friends are in a world with dinosaurs, and you could turn into animals. I distinctly remember a run-in with a raptor and an animation sequence in which a girl turns into a butterfly. I'm pretty sure it had "-topia" in the title, but Dinotopia does not seem to fit the bill.

I had this disk with a ton of games on it a while ago, but I forgot what it was called. There was a game where you flew a plane around on planets and things, and had to hunt down the boss of each level, which were called Guardians, a game where you had to drive a hoverbike around a crazy 3D racetrack or something, and some kind of puzzle top down game where you had to kill huge roaches. Does anyone know what this is?

This info is coming from a guy at work, I said I'd look it up for him. Xbox (original) game, 3 characters, 2 male and 1 female. You switch off between them all throughout the game. One guy has 2 pistols, another has a shotgun, can't remember what the other person has. I believe it's 3rd person. I think they're investigating a house or something. Someone else from work said it was "Indigo Prophecy", which I couldn't chime in with because I've never played it.

My mind keeps going back to a '90s PC game, it'd be cool to know the title. - Set in space, you had to build colonies and collect resources from planets, and could recruit various people for administrative tasks. - There was a 3-d map; it reminded me of the one from Star Control 1. - You could build different types of ships after obtaining plans for them, one of the larger of which had a name like "Dragon". - There were a bunch of little subplots, most of which I forget except for one: a pretty good recruit turned out to secretly be an android. This was apparently not good; you could turn them in and that would help your standing with other employees...or not, and others would hate you for it. Does this super-vague explanation ring any bells?

I'm trying to think of a game that was for Genesis (I think). Basically all I remember was it was a platformer and you were an adventurer with a (long-haired?) dog and a dog whistle. What I remember was the dog and the adventurer climbing a mountain or something.

Trying to recall a PC puzzle platformer from the mid-90s. It had an in-game level editor and the object was to get to the exit. I think it had a yellow main character. You may have had to collect wrenches? There were cave levels and futuristic levels with lasers. I think it had a simple title like Duplo or Zupo or something.(not bluppo)

This game a was a blockbuster rental from way back, so it's totally possible I'm remembering it poorly. It was either for Sega or SNES. Basically, it was a fantasy sidescroller where you and a friend would pick characters (I remember specifically an elf, cleric... and the rest were probably generic stuff like that). You would then move left to right across the screen a la Golden Axe, fighting people. What made this game different and kind of fun was that every character actually used a ranged attack. So you'd swing your mace/whatever, and a little wave would come out of your guy, travel a bit, and do damage. Pickups or something would cause your attack to power up, sending out more, stronger waves, until you died and it got reset (basically like the mechanic for weapon powerups in all those scrolling spaceship shooter games). For some reason, I remember that it was a lot of fun and I'd like to remember... what the hell it was, exactly.

I remember a SNES game about mechs. You had a little pilot guy that could jump in and out of different ones and there was a platformer style single player game (plus killing lots of robots), and a two player split-screen deathmatch. The game was side scrolling (and some vertical) platformer style (think metroid). Also, the two human like robots had one with a machine gun and a chainsaw style weapon while the other had a laser blade and laser rifle. There was also a heavy artillery mech and a crazy rolling ball that deployed into a turret. I know I've found the rom of this one before but I literally keep forgetting the name of it every few years. Help would be appreciated.

There was an old Commodore 64 game that I last played in 1988 or so. Each stage was one screen, and the goal of every stage was to get to the right side of the screen and touch something that looked kind of like a lamp post. There were pits that you had to jump over, and in the pits were knights that tried to poke you with spears as you jumped over them. I think you might have been able to double-jump in that game, since that's how I remember you had to avoid the knights.

Dear friends, Please help me identify this game as I've been looking at every screenshot I can find with no luck. I would love to play it again to relive the glory days. I played in on C64 in about 1986 or 87 and it was on a disk my friend copied for me so maybe it was a commercial release, but I don't know. It was an action adventure type game with topdown perspective kind of like nethack. It was drawn in crude very blocky style with just black, yellow, and blue I think. You wandered your adventurer around from room to room and collected armor, weapons, and treasure while battling various monsters. It was a desert theme with mummies, snakes, and so on in the dungeon. The asp was the bastard as I recall. Thank you! Edit: It looked a lot like Sword of Fargoal. Nevermind I found it! I guess I didn't look hard enough before. It's http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gateway_to_Apshai meeogee fucked around with this message at 07:04 on Jun 3, 2009 |

Sega Genesis game set in space. Your little space dude would walk around a 2-d space dock when you sell things. If you leave the controller idle too long, he would fold his arms and tap his foot and somehow look extremely indignant despite wearing one of those spacesuit helmets that you couldn't see in to. You would fly your little ship to planets and eject a smaller thing out of it which you would use to dig for ore or artifacts, fight monsters, etc. then you would slowly go back to your ship and get in it, launch, then go back to the space town and sell whatever poo poo you dug up. Anyone know this?

Not a game, but a game magazine, because I don't know where else to put this. I remember I had this magazine years ago. It was about PSX games (maybe RPGs? not sure.), and included reviews for a few. It had vaguely anime-ish characters in it, and I think they had their own comic at the start of the magazine. It's been tormenting me all day. It reviewed Monster Rancher 2, I think? And the title of it had the main character of the comic's name in it. I checked the Wikipedia list of video game magazines and nothing seemed like it, so I might just be insane.

First one was for the SNES I believe, it was an overhead helicopter game in which you flew around doing random objectives for the US government I think. It made use of a little crane on your gunship that could repel down and grab poo poo like people and supplies. Second one I think was for the N64, it was another overhead game that had you going through enemy bases destroying poo poo with selectable roles like a tank, helicopter and something else. The only thing I remember distinctly was this bigass flaming skull that would pop out laughing at you after you lost and ran out of "lives." gently caress that guy.

I played a rail shooter in an arcade a few times in the mid-nineties. It had a sci-fi theme where you fought mechs and robots, but I can't remember much else. The final level had you escaping from a building before a bomb went off, and I didn't make it in time the one time I got that far.
