Geez... The Horde?

I'm a huge Prince of Persia fan, and I never would have guessed this in a million years. Just in case this IS the game you're looking for, you might want to play Konami's excellent SNES port instead. Has additional levels and stuff not found in any other version of the game. Rollersnake fucked around with this message at 20:25 on Dec 19, 2009 |

Very vague details on this one, but it's been bugging me for a long time. I used to watch my brother play this game when I was really young, probably in the early 1990's. It was a very colorful platformer game for PC. It may have been shareware. I can't remember any specifics about the main character or the enemies, but I do remember that enemies could "jump out" of the background, like behind bushes and walls. When they did, they made this little noise, kind of like a "bee-dee" sound. I've been trying to figure this out for forever. If anybody knows what this is I'll be shocked.

There are two games that I believe were bundled with the Compaq Presario my family owned many years back, though it could have been a different computer. 1) A Rube Goldberg-esque puzzle game where you have to rig up devices in order to assist either a cat or a mouse in achieving its goal. Some of the harder puzzles got pretty mind-bending, and it was fun just using the level editor to see all of the different animations. 2) An educational puzzle game starring a jungle/safari explorer who has to collect letter tiles in the correct order to spell a given word. The educational value was aimed pretty low, but the gameplay itself was pretty fun, and reminded me a lot of something like The Adventures of LoLo. I remember there being multiple animal types that reacted differently, as well as some kind of arrow shooting things.

This is an old one, It was for the genesis, I think you were a kid caveman of some sort. I don't remember a thing about it, maybe some platforming involved. I think you had to move boulders. If anyone can figure it out, I'd love them.

I'm wracking my brain trying to remember this weird multiplayer Japanese game for Playstation. You have a little train (and sometimes a plane) that you need to drive all over the land to pick up money/boons and try to avoid the bad spots. Occasionally this weird monster/baby thing drops onto the tracks to gently caress with you, there is also poop getting dumped on the tracks (I can't remember if the monster is responsible or even if the turds are a good or bad thing - I think they may be colour coded, though). The game seems to last for forever when you're playing it and the winner is the one with the most money (and train carriages?) at the end - your corporation is deemed a success! I'm sure I'm misremembering large chunks of this because it's so weird. I last played in 2006; it's old fashioned looking, 2D, I guess it's strategy based because you need to work out the best routes through, but it kind of defies categorisation. There was definately poop involved. Edit: I think the monster thing may have been called something like bombee/bomubi but google turns up nothing.

My father is looking to find a game he saw in a game store about 9-10 years ago. He describes it as having been a WW2 simulation, where you didn't participate in battles, but rather, you had a tactical map of Europe and/or the invasion of Normandy. You'd control how many soldiers and tanks to send to the various battles and so on. Anyone got a clue what the name might be?

When I was really young I used to play this train game on my grandad's computer. You could build tracks and there were curved pieces and water and stuff. Every so often you would pass some bleating sheep, and I think you had to deliver stuff and there were other trains, but I never really paid attention to that. The thing I most remember is that sometimes you would crash into another train and it would cut to a really vivid shot of two trains smashing into each other head on. I've tried to find out what it was called with no luck. Does this sound familiar to anyone?

The game I'm having trouble remembering was a DOS game from late 90's when my P2 233 was the bee's knees. It had RTS elements and you could place turrets on predefined points. You could then control the turrets manually through the first-person pov to kill the baddies. The main unit was a tank of sorts that you could control, again, in the first person. I could have sworn it was Ground Control but after getting it yesterday on sale at GOG and playing the first part of the tutorial, I don't think that it's it. Unless the turrets and first person thing comes later? But the release year of 2000 doesn't make sense since I played the game I'm thinking of in 98-99. PS: I'm pretty sure it's not Battlezone. The images I've seen don't seem familiar. *edit* After looking through every game in the strategy genre in those years, I found it to be Uprising. A kick rear end game that I must hunt down and get working on my modern PC. *edit 2* I found it in a 45 Mb zip on an abandonware site! Same place has Quarantine and Azrael's Tear! *edit 3* poo poo, it's some weird Windows version in German and it won't display in a playable form. And it's completely in German... The hunt continues.

 Found this on my friend's "Old pictures" album on facebook and we can't tell what game it is. All we know is that it's for sure an NES game(he's holding the controller) and it's 2 players by the look of the P1 at the bottom of screen and that his brother is holding a controller as well.

This is going to be a stretch and I doubt it was ever released here but here goes: I remember in an old EGM issue had Busby on the cover when they were previewing the SNES release, anyway, in this same issue, they had a Zelda clone that looked like it was being released on the Super Famicom, the main character looked like the exact replica of Link but had black hair with a gold band in it, and a red cape and was played from the top down perspective. The preview showed him on a ship that was being attacked by a giant octopus with it being SNES graphics it had the connecting orange and brown balls to represent tentacles. I have no idea what this game is, or if it was even released in Japan let alone the US, any help would be appreciated.

I'm looking for the name of a game from the 80's that my cousins and I used to play on an old IBM PC via 5.5 floppy disk. It was a Breakout/Arkanoid type game except the play was horizontal, the paddle was a sword, and the bricks were all reddish brown with varied patterns for each level. I want to say it was called Dragon or something like that, but I'm not sure.
