I got one I'd like to remember the name of. It was back in 95 I got my first PC, a friend lent me a point & click adventure about some guy who warps into some comic series and becomes the dark hero with some sexy sidekick, I thought the game was necropolis but I was wrong, I thought it started with a N though.

There was this game I played at a friend's house back in High school that I can't remember the name of. It was a 3rd person semi-fantasy fighting game with GREAT combat mechanics - lots of cool moves and destructible armor and using enemy weapons. I think it had sort of a South American theme to it or something... this ring a bell to anyone? EDIT: Now that I think about it, I feel like it was long ago enough to be PS1 but in my head the graphics seem PS2. Sorry to be confusing.

I'm trying to remember the name of an old space strategy game. You could play as multiple races, colonize multiple planets in the same star system, and I think there were multiple ways to win. What I really remember as distinctive about the game is that all of the star systems had multiple planets/moons in orbit, and you could use espionage to sabotage the hell out of your opponents. I remember playing this on the Mac, but I think it was also available on the PC/Amiga...

It's the only old game I can think of that fits all of the criteria, at least. I can't imagine anyone forgetting about it though, it's just too memorable! Also, it's not old enough to be Amiga runnable, which makes me think it might be an older game than MOO2. Maybe Galactic Civilizations 1. I'm not sure if it had multiple planets in each system though, and I can't remember if it had espionage at all (but the second game did).

Yeah, I would hope I remember Master of Orion! (Speaking of which, it's now on sale at gog.com...) Digging through MobyGames, I finally found the answer: Pax Imperia - http://www.mobygames.com/game/macintosh/pax-imperia. Huh, I had no idea they made a sequel.

To all PS3 gamers: It was a melee-based FPS game. Had a very "dark" setting, ie. lots of Silent Hill-esque enemies, and you'd just smash their heads in with pipes, your bare fists, etc. Any ideas? \/ You're absolutely right!

There was a point and click adventure game I used to play back in 2002 at school that I've been trying to remember the name of. I remember a specific puzzle in it. The puzzle was that you needed to send a message to you female friend who was in a prison cell. You had to fill up a rubber glove with hellium and float it over to her through the outside of the jail. Does anyone remember this? The game was probably PC only and it had a lot of item combining for puzzles. Also I remember there being a theme park level, which I think was in virtual reality.

Here's a screenshot:  Note the globes! I was wrong about the map shape though.

What's that tower defense game that everyone raves about since it seems to have an actual storyline. It had an anime art style from what I recalled and I think the developer was selling it for like 5 bucks a while ago.

This game has pretty much the opposite of anime art style, but still, maybe you're looking for Immortal Defense.

I'm trying to remember a game, I remember very little about it besides the fact that it was about dinosaurs; I think you played as a human/caveman I'm not sure if you time traveled or not. It is at least 12-14 years old at this point. It was definatley a console game though i don't remember which; sega? original nintendo? super nintendo? Your character moved from left to right like in mario- although the game might have auto moved you along if you waited for too long (not sure). Finally i think you shot stuff and I remember it being little brown/beige balls. Can anyone help me out here? I know I haven't told you much but if you give me a list of old dinosaur games I can research it on my own. Thanks.

There's the Bonk series, Bignose the Caveman, Joe and Mac (aka Caveman Ninja in Europe), Joe and Mac 2, Congo's Caper, the later stages of EVO the Search for Eden, and the Adventure Island series.

Babs Johnson posted:Trying to remember a console driving game I played at a friends house in 1998 or so, either on Nintendo 64 or Playstation I think. It had this stunt driving mode which was the only one we played, driving around this bizarre arena trying to do stunts off of weirdly shaped gray and blue structures. Hitting the weird shapes and ramps at different angles would send your car flying off in a combination of flips and rotations and rolls etc, and the game would flash points on the screen based on how many stunts you could combine in one. If I remember right it had car damage, so the stunts would gently caress up your car until it exploded or stopped working. Then you would respawn and do more stunts. It was definitely one of the funnest games I've ever played. I didn't see a correct response for this one, but it is definitely Rush 2 for the Nintendo64.

My brother and I are both failing to remember the name of a game we played many a year ago. It was a graphical adventure game, from the DOS era. I think we only played the demo, which would explain why I can only remember 15 minutes worth of game play. You started off in a modern day house, and it's dark and raining. The actual bulk of the game starts when you go over to your PC and start up an generic fantasy adventure game. There's only two concrete details I can remember: there was a phone you could use to call people (before you started the fantasy game section), and that upon starting the fantasy game if you selected the sexy sidekick it was an immediate game-over. Anybody remember this weird game-in-a-game?

Still haven't found out the name of one of the games (the RPG in a church or whatnot was probably the canceled one mentioned in an earlier post) I'll try to put in a bit more detail this time around, from what little I can remember. You started outside, and it was possibly top down there (not sure about that though). I'm not sure, but I believe it was modern times and you were a bunch of kids. Weaponry was if I remember correctly stuff like slingshots or sticks, but that's one of the hazier details. What I do remember with some clarity is one of the enemies was snakes, and you could find eggs lying around. Some were inactive, but others suddenly started moving and you had to eat them before they hatched or a snake would pop out of them (I think you got HP from eating them). You had to gather tiles or jewels of some kind. You explored the dungeons sort of like the earliest Ultima games (sorta first person). The reason I could be remembering this badly is cause it might've been a split top down/First Person view. I think the demo was just the first floor or so of the dungeon.

I have a few games: (I was not able to see anything that sparked a memory on Moby Games) 1. Some sort of game where you were vikings, and I think it was DOS-based or possibly early Windows 3.1. The screen where you move was overhead, but battle was seen from the side. You could build cities/villages or take over other villages. When a unit died, Valkyries flew down on winged horses and carried your fallen unit away (part of "Flight of the Valkyries" played when they appeared). If it helps, the berserker unit had 2 swords. I think the game came out sometime between 1992 and 1998. (I THINK I got a demo for this game on a CD that came with a magazine, if that helps at all) 2. I remember this DOS game from the old shareware days, so early 1990s? You were a female cop, you lost your dad years ago, and at some point in the game you were captured and mind-wiped/tortured and they took that memory away. Also at some point your vehicle is sabotaged and you are made part machine so you can survive (I think this happened around half-way through the shareware levels). The game was an overhead vehicle shooter where you were driving/flying around in a city, and on some missions you could fly a helicopter, and during one level an alien spaceship is flying down the main street of the city and you have to destroy it. 3. A 3D rendered RTS where I think the US is invaded by either Russia or China, set in either modern time or the very near future. One of the selling points of it was that you can use nuclear weapons in the middle of battle to destroy a few buildings/small area of the map. I think this game came out after 2004 and I want to say 2006-2008, and at the very least I played it on a Windows system (not sure if it was XP or Vista though)

Volcano Style posted:I remember playing some really mediocre fighting game for the Mega Drive/Genesis that I rented. It came in one of those two-game cartridges where everytime you turned the power off and then on again, the other game would play. The game it came with was Decap-Attack and if I'm right, one of the fighters was some sort of squarish golem with a huge face. Sounds like Fighting Masters, although I don't remember that coming in a two-game cartridge. It did have a square egyptian rock golem as a a fighter though. Also a lobster, robot, kickboxing horse and man-eating plant.

Only ever played the shareware, but teenage me played it to death all the same.
