Shadowborn posted:I remember playing a demo of an X-Com-like SWAT-themed game back in the mid-late 90's. You were given a mission briefing by your commander, a British lady who kinda reminded me of Judi Dench, in an FMV sequence. The mission in the demo was to storm a house and rescue a family who had been taken hostage. After the briefing you could buy weapons and equipment for your team. Then the game switched to an isometric perspective for the actual mission. If it wasn't an early SWAT series game, it could be Shadow Watch.

I'm trying to find a silly web browser game I used to play back in the early 2000's. From what I remember, it was one of the big ones at the time. It was some sci-fi future based thing. You started off with a little town and a few military units. You had to build houses, and then factories for jobs and income. You could research new techologies, and build military units. You started off building little lovely soldiers and jeeps, and worked your way up to the point where you could build Mechs. Battle was a turn-based hex thing. You could capture new bits of ground on the map and build more cities, and kill other people's stuff. It works kinda like that WW2 online browser game at the moment, except it was alot more indepth and futuristic. I think it had a brownish/orangeish colour scheme going on. For some reason, the name neo something is in my head?

A freeware game from a few years back, maybe 2005 or so. You landed on a planet and had to just survive, I believe. You had a little home and could find different objects to build weapons, flashlights, etc. You could pick between a human, a robot, and an alien and all three had different skills, like the robot didn't require oxygen which was scarce iirc. Top down perspective, very hard.

I kind of remember a game from when I was 5 or 6 years old and my family had gotten our first computer. DOS game, similar to Zelda 2. There were dungeons and towns with banks to put your money in and buy weapons from. It didn't seem very story based from what I remember, but I was very young. Anybody have a clue what this is?

It sounds a little like Lone Ranger, but I think that was for the NES.

So, there an old game I occasionally try to remember without success but for once I happened to come to think of it while reading this thread so maybe the matter can finally be laid to rest. This was a PC game from the mid 90s or thereabouts. Adventure game. Pre-rendered CG graphics as I recall it, probably early cdrom era 320x200 (I could be wrong). The game gave a choice of two protagonist, one of which being a warrior chick and the other a lizardman or orc or somesuch beastly type. Comedic fantasy setting, the one puzzle I recall involved winning a disco competition to get platform boots to give to a dwarf.

Been a while since anyone's posted in this thread, but I'm looking for another game... It was for the PC, and the protagonist was the son of the king and queen, but he was stolen away and raised by farmers or something. He had some kind of purple pet thing that could shapeshift into useful items, but you had to learn how to do it but he would never be anything you would need until he learned how to do it. The protagonist just goes around having adventures with his pet thing, that's all I really remember. I know I used to play this all the time, so it's really frustrating. I can't remember if it was supposed to be a kid's game or what.

You had a flashlight, but you could only use it a couple of times before you needed to find a recharge station. There were all kinds of interactivity with the fish and the environment. I just can't remember the name. This was a few pages back but was it Treasure Trove Cove? I think I remember that having parts where you had to use a flashlight and it was definitely a scuba diver looking for treasure and interactivity.

Allright, this was a NES platformer where you controlled a guy dressed in a rabbit suit. The only other thing I remember is that it somehow involved lots of pizza.

The game I can't remember was this game were you made a fake MMO and set the zones and monster levels and all that jazz. Then the players would complain about how easy or hard it was. I think it was a flash game, but I could be wrong. I just feel like playing it again for some reason.

Dr_Amazing posted:About 15 years old. A side scrolling game where there were constantly spears and knives and things coming in from off screen. You could jump or duck or knock them down. There was fighting too, but I think it was more dodging stuff. This game sticks with me because I played it at a mall. It was a standup arcade game but free to play. Kung-Fu Master?

Some real challenges coming out of this post. A japanese freeware, "bullet dodging" game. You dodged these MSpaint looking stars, the game was endless with a ramping up difficulty to include more stars and larger stars. This was from 2001 or earlier, and was a stand alone executable, not a flash game. ------ A very old, pre-1990 edutainment game, the only colours I remember were green, maybe even just one shade of green. the idea of the game was to breed beetles to match a background pattern so that the predators would not be able to see them and they would survive. This may have been PC or on an apple computer. ------ An Amiga 500 game, late 80's early 90's, edutainment once again. all i remember was walking around a spaceship and opening doors, and maybe answering trivia or science questions. I don't have high hopes for any of these to be found.

Here's a tough one. My elementary school had some Macs with Mac OS 7/8/9 and there were two awesome educational games for them. One is Zoombini, but the other I can't recall. You start in a city in a Jungle with a top-down view, but then eventually you get to do other poo poo, of which I can only remember some side-view "program the robot to do some platforming" type ones. Any ideas?

I just remembered an ancient (probably abandonware) Star Wars game. I don't remember much about it except that it was played in a top-down perspective, you had to collect items and I think you shot dudes. There was a matching Indiana Jones game as well. I've searched through various abandon/freeware game sites for Star Wars, Jedi and Indiana Jones but nothing comes up that looks like it.

There was this PC game, around 2000 or so (maybe earlier) it played like a tomb raider game and it had the word urban in it, I'm pretty sure. You were a cop.
