This is an old repost but no one figured it out last time and it's been bothering me for almost 5 years now. It's a learning game, you play as a dog and the enemies are aliens. You wander around the levels, I remember the first level being just a normal town, then there was desert level(I think it was at night) and a forest level. I remember the sounds having a really creepy feel, I think they had a lot of howling. I remember using a forcefield, and I think you powered it by answering questions correctly, but I may be wrong.

I think this is probably a SNES game, an RPG to be exactly. For the first part of the game you have to unseal a tower, which I believed is told to you by a guy on a cloud, by clearing 4 dungeons, each of one of the 4 elements. The first one was located in a desert I think and the boss of the dungeon was the skeleton of a dinosaur. You primarily fought alone, but for each dungeon another guy would assist you and give you an item or teach you a skill. For the first dungeon it was a guy who gave you bombs I think. For the fire dungeon there was a guy called Reuben(?) who gave you either a hookshot or some sort of morning star. In battles the enemy was represented by a static image, which would change as you dealt more damage, showing them in a weakened state as you chopped away about 50% of their health. Your health was shown by default as yellow bars which would turn red as you took damage, but you could also change the settings as to show regular HP numbers. Anyone have any idea what game I'm talking about? edit: Acutally, I think you got a crystal for each of the 4 dungeons to open the tower? And I believe the final boss of the game was a green guy with like 8 arms, each wielding a different weapon. And you fought him in space.

But after reading your post I found "chapter 13" which is the battle I referred to. Thanks a lot! Red Budenovka fucked around with this message at 16:01 on Jan 14, 2010 |

I throw this one into these threads once in a while and I'm starting to think I must have dreamed it or something. Arcade game that's at least 20 years old. I saw it at a bolwing alley. I remember it being a Mario platformer but at this point I'm thinking it must have just looked a lot like Mario. The one thing I remember is watching the guy playing it come upon a giant pie. He tried to jump over it but it was too big and he went to another screen. I'm not sure if the pie killed him, or if it was the end of the level or what but I'd really like to know what the hell this is.

Trying to figure out a game for a mate of mine. Apparently it was on windows 95 or 98, and was a vehicular combat game of some kind, it may have had the words 'Green' or 'Dogs' in the title. There were lots of beaches, and jungles, and you had guns on your vehicle (the vehicle itself had a red health bar). You could get out of your vehicle and take other ones, and there were barrels you could shoot. Most of the vehicles were pick-up trucks, but you started out in a sand buggy type thing, apparently in the tutorial you had to complete a certain track on a muddy/sandy road and collect yellow ducks as checkpoints. He thinks when you got out of the vehicle you could throw grenades, and it came on CD. That's about all he remembers. I've seen some miracles worked in this thread so I figured what the hell. Thanks goons

A GameFaqs search turned up no racing or vehicle combat game with Green or Dogs in the title, except for a John Deere game (I poo poo you not) that came out in 2009. A search on Google filtered to site:gamefaqs.com on the words "yellow ducks" and/or "dune buggy" and "trucks" turned up nothing too. Any more info?

I remember renting a couple of games for the Genesis which I have since forgotten the names of. One was a Mario Kart clone which had "cool" characters, I remember there being an Elvis character and a biker and so on. One of the tracks I think was an airfield, and you could see hangars in the background. The other was a platform game where you played as a variety of animals, one of which (I think it was the main character) was an elephant, and it had a circus theme. Can anyone help with remembering them? Similarly, I remember a couple of old PC games I played round my grandparents, but not their titles. One was a point-and-click adventure where you could choose to start at one of several "chapters," and it was on loads of CDs. The art style was very Disney-cartoon and it may have had animated cutscenes. I remember one room had a giant scorpion in it, and you controlled a princess-like woman. To get past the scorpion you had to do something very quickly or it grabbed you. The second was a sort of extreme sport football game where your players had rollerblades and there were weapon pickups on the pitch like a stun missile and a mine, as well as spike traps and ramps and things. The pitch was a sort of bowl-shape with the best items at the top of the bowl and the traps in the middle. It was very basic 3D, as far as I can remember.

The first one is definitely not Wacky Wheels, I remember the characters being nearly all human and the graphics being better. Rolo to the Rescue is definitely right though, I remember only getting to play it once but it was pretty good. As to Toonstruck, that's definitely not it. It was wholly animated, not FMV. Thinking more on it, it may have been a Sierra game.

So two games for me, from like 15 years ago, my memories of them are insanely vague so bear with me. 1) Sidescrolling platformer/adventure/rpg(maybe?) You were a dude on a space ship, I think. You got to run around the space ship, do some stuff on it. Then occasionally you'd get off the space ship, put on a suit and run around these weird planets looking for something. I think for some planets there was a limited amount of time you could spend on them cause they were toxic or something. I think your ship would also break sometimes and you had to find pieces to fix it. 2) Some kind of a space strategy game. You were supposed to send out probes to planets to see if they were inhabitable or had resources, then you'd build bases on them. I think the ultimate goal was to get to planet Earth?

I'm looking for an old RPG. The basic premise was to get powerful and gain allies to eventually fight a spider queen (I think). It has tiles and is viewed from above. It might have had randomly generated elements, but I cant remember. I do remember three distinctive things though- You always started in the same pre-generated town, some of the spells you could cast were AOE and it was represented with a bunch of green squares if you could cast or red if you couldn't, and last it had an expansion you could purchase that featured a frozen/wintery land.

Realmz just reminded me of an RPG I played a good while ago. It was a PC RPG and I only played the demo of it around the same time Return to Castle Wolfenstein came out. It was top down, tile based with isometric buildings and crudely drawn sprites with a graphical style similar to Exile and Avernum. Like Realmz it was more or less an engine for people to build custom scenarios (I think it called them "stories") on it. The scenario that I played involved some orc/troll woman who had a power called the Dreamweaver or something which did a lot of damage in combat. The unique aspect about the game was that you actually rolled virtual dice and saw them flop around the screen. The demo disc came with an issue of PC Gamer Magazine and they devoted a few pages to it. Could never remember the name since and I can't find the demo even on their website.

This is a little more challenging- It's a space Galaga type game (I know there are thousands) with good looking space backgrounds that change each (level/ boss)? It's newer-ish than most Galaga type games. There were shield power-ups in the game, and I believe you could power your weapon up to something like three times. Very smooth game play (you used your mouse). I can't remember anything that really set this game apart except for the backgrounds. I know there are hundreds of games that probably fit this description but I've never been able to find that specific one.

Ok, I need some help remembering the name of a game (though I believe it was called "WAR" or "W.A.R." or some poo poo like that). Basically it was a dual stick or stick + ball upright arcade game, very similar to The GRID, in which three cabinets could be networked together for deathmatch play. The arcade cabinets had a green and black color scheme, if I remember correctly. I remember playing it around 1998~2000, and there was some talk that it (and possibly The GRID as well) would be released on the Dreamcast, though I know neither did. I'd like to see pictures of the game/cabinets, but searching for "war arcade game" really, really does not prove fruitful.
