Whelp, another game I once played but now forgot is running through my head and an hour of searching leaves me empty. It was a 2D side scroller on the Genesis (possibly SNES as well but I played it on Gen) where you played an anthropomorphic cat or something who was also a pirate/captain of a sailing vessel. In the first stage the bad guy steals your ship and you're chasing after it while dodging falling boulders and stuff. The 2nd stage takes place on the ship and there are hippo(???) badguys with guns. I remember the game being balls hard because I could never beat the 2nd stage. My memory keeps trying to remember the title as being "Hook something" but Hook is a game based on that Robin Williams movie. The European title had a cooler sounding name than the US one. Recently playing Captain Claw made me think of the game as the two shared some similarities (Caribbean backdrop, anthro characters, main character was a cat captain thing...)

I remember there was this browser-based, online, sci-fi strategy game sort of in the same vein as Astro Empires and OGame, but it worked in like this weird sort of scale: you would start out as a junior corporation taking over a countryside against like three or so other players, and if you won that you'd move onto a continent-wide battle, and then a planet-wide battle. If you won, you'd get the planet and could start building cool poo poo like orbital foundries and combat units for the other stages of combat and stuff, and go on to claim other worlds. Oh, and the combat system worked in real time instead of turns (so instead of being like 2 turns to attack, it'd take your units half an hour realtime to move into another territory). Does anybody remember what this was?

PC Game where you are a futuristic hovercraft that shoots down blocky enemies and builds a base to setup npc attackers on predetermined platforms. It was first person in the hovercraft and had that whole C&C Renegade feel to it. The Buildings you built I think fall in from the sky. I am also going to say Late 90s. Ive read 20 pages of this thread hoping someone would think of asking about it.

It was (maybe solely?) for the PC and it was really sucky in terms of gameplay. The lizard/monster guy had no equipment nor clothes, his head was shaped almost like Predator's and I think he had a light green skin with darker horizontal stripes on top of it. All the other fighters were really boring looking and mundane - just people with random sets of clothes.

This ones an NES action/shooter game (I think) and really all I can remember is that you are (presumably) on another planet and you go into a bar where there a couple of strange aliens. You somehow end up fighting one of them in a room where it's 1-on-1 but before you do, a crappy digitized voice says "COME ON! LETS FIGHT!" I want to say that outside the bar it's top down and you are in a vehicle of some kind and when you fight the alien 1-on-1 the game switches perspective. edit: nevermind I remember now, it was Ikari Warriors 2 Gumball Dad fucked around with this message at 10:54 on Sep 28, 2009 |

The page has the best screenshot I can find and I can't get it to run in DOSBox so good luck! There's almost no information about it anywhere, I guess it was a shareware game made by three guys that never went anywhere.

Can't have been this either since it came with a separate box with boxart and all that stuff. Wasn't Way of the Warrior either. But as I said, it may be that my memory's betrading me and I won't recognize the game even if I happen to see it.

walkingghostphase posted:it was this weird little game that looked kinda like bomberman. you could hold down a button and sort of "leave" a bullet that would be spinning a bit before going in the direction you input. you could also leave an "egg" that would create a little tank or something? but i'm not sure if it was actually an egg or if we just called them eggs. it was adversarial and a ton of fun. sfwarlock posted:The other was on the Amiga about 1987. I think I played a demo of it on either a cover-disk or a Fred Fish disk. You were running around some sort of surreal landscape, seeing a small part of it on each screen, and it looked a little bit like a smaller (4x4?) chess board with different heights and sometimes items on some of the squares, and you were a wizard who could shoot lightning. Googling "Amiga wizard lightning", obviously, has been less than helpful.

Another long shot but was it Mystic Towers? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mystic_Towers On second thought that was only released on PC but worth a shot.

So, there's this goofy 2d platformer, I suspect it's german, where you play a single dude with a hut. You can drag various materials to the hut to make money, and with that money you can buy materials you can't find or tools. You can then use the materials and tools to build other buildings that do other things, minecarts to haul more materials in one trip, explosives to penetrate hard rock, and additional workers you can automate to do simple tasks... somehow... until you have a burgeoning two dimensional platformer town. Or, more realistically, you'll drop an explosive rock in the wrong place and destroy everything you've worked on. If you don't have a bomb to blow up your all-important resource hut with, don't worry, occasionally meteors fall from the sky just to gently caress with you. I got a sort of Lemmings Meets Colonization vibe from it. What the hell was it?

I'm trying to remember the name of some PSX game. It's an RPG - adventure - action - platformer sort of game where you can play as one of two characters: -a guy who wears green (I think) and can shapeshift and fights with an axe -a girl who wears blue (I think) and gets magic and has rings around her arms. I remember it also had something to do with "relics". I know it's really vague but I hope someone can help me out here.

I'm wondering if anyone knows the name of a point and click advenure game I saw a long time ago, hopefully this isn't too obscure. I remember playing this PC/Mac game when I was a little kid, some time in the mid-90s. I saw this at a friend's house (actually a friend of my parents who I didn't know very well) and only got to play it for a few minutes. The game had a visual and gameplay style similar to Monkey Island with characters talking with colored text popups. At one point, I was in a completely dark dungeon and had to find a torch or something to light the area up. Then they loaded a saved game from a different spot or something and there was an area where I was controlling a bee/fly walking on top of some guy's face. If I clicked on his nose the bee would pull it and make the guy's eyes water. Weird. I've always been curious what that game was, just because I've only seen that one tiny part and never saw or heard of it again. I seem to remember the other kids calling it something like "Monster World" (?) but Google doesn't seem to be helping me find it.

Dammit...so I can't remember the name of this indy game. I found out about it here on SA. It was that creepy side-scrolling game where you played as the little star-shaped guy. The levels got creepier and creepier as you played, and the between-level messages kept getting weirder and more corrupted. I distinctly remember the "red hands" that jumped up to kill you, and "Behind You!" at one of the loading screens. Thanks! fake edit: (Googling combinations of "indy", "red hand", "behind you!", and the likes isn't helping)

I might have already asked this in an earlier incarnation but I don't remember getting an answer. On the NES there was a skating/surfing game I had. It was hard as gently caress. I know that the main character of at least the surfing level had a giant tiki mask on. I'm pretty sure it was the same for the skating level. I hated it because whenever you'd lose on the skating level the guy would slide across the pavement in the most horrific of fashions, and since I failed all the time, the image is permanently seared into my brain.

There's an old arcade shoot-em-up that was both a top down vertical scroller where you shot air units and dropped bombs on ground units (similar to Xevious) and also an undergound side scroller (similar to R-Type) in the same game. You went between modes by flying through holes in the ground surface, which I think you had to drop bombs in certain places of the top down levels to create. It was probably made some time around 1987, and it's possible that I can't recall the name because it was written in Japanese. Any ideas? edit: vvv Legendary Wings is not the one I'm looking for, but thanks. monkey fucked around with this message at 15:17 on Oct 10, 2009 |

Probably wrong here, but Legendary Wings alternated between overhead and sidescrolling and came out around then, but you didn't bomb areas to switch between views, giant mouths in the overhead areas would suck you into the side-scrolling ones.
