I'm looking for a platformer for the PC. The only video I saw for it was in japanese. The main character looked like the "bobblehead" characters from princess mononoke. As far as I could tell, it was freeware. The main gimmick was that you could hit a key and the field would rotate 90 degrees into/out of the field of view. A poor example could be that an L shape could be rotated to the right 90 degrees on the Y axis to turn it into an |.

Much love to whoever names this one. A DOS game, maybe Windows NT, it was a kids game about recycling. It was point-and-click style, and you'd go around the world (different screens) and pick up litter/recyclables and turn off wasteful/polluting stuff. I believe there were 4 types of recyclables (paper, aluminum, etc) and each had their own "special item" hidden around the area where if you recycled it it gave a bunch of points. One of them was in a volcano I think. Also, I'm pretty sure all the people in the world were humanoid animals.

What was the name of the old DOS game where you ran around with a vacuum cleaner, and got points for picking up treasure and could use that $$ to buy vacuum upgrades -- if you sucked up too much trash (long stringy things or something too big for the vacuum model you were currently using) then your vacuum cleaner would break??

I'm looking for a retro-style indie RPG that I played years ago. I thought it was a Spiderweb Software product, but after looking at their games, it's not any of those. It is kinda similar in gameplay and graphics though. It was top down, tile-based, with unimpressive graphics. I think it was turn-based too in that the enemies wouldn't move if you didn't. You only controlled a single main character in this one, and if I remember correctly the gameplay was pretty simple. Cursor keys to move, and you move into an enemy to attack him. I remember very little of the actual game, I have pictures in my head of an abandoned castle and a farming area near the beginning of the game, but I can't really describe it well enough for it to help.

Nope, but I've played that, and it's awesome. Highly recommended. The graphics are simpler than that, and if I remember correctly, it's not isometric. Up-down, left-right, rather than the diagonal style.

That style of game is called "roguelike", so narrowing it down by OS might make it easier to find.

No, it's windows, and not a rogue-like. I'm pretty sure very little apart from battle was random. You'd fight more or less the same monsters in the same places every time you played. EDIT: This is now driving me crazy. I'm now googling variations on "indie pc rpgs" and hoping I get lucky with a name or screenshot jogging my memory. I remember the game more visually than anything specific. Sucker Punch fucked around with this message at 17:54 on Apr 10, 2010 |

RTS game. Three factions. Humans, some sort of robots and aliens. The human units looked pretty standard. And I remember that one unit was a hovertank with some sort of rocket launcher on top. The robots were your standard mechas. The alien units looked like insects, for example the alien bomber was a gigantic hornet. If I remember correctly there were 2 resources, oil which was collected by building derricks (I think). And power which was collected by building power generators or wind turbines.

I've been trying to solve the mystery of what game I used to play a lot when I was younger. I've been looking for a couple years whenever these threads pop up and still no luck. Here's a few of the facts, as best as I remember them. 1) I played the demo on some cd sampler disc from PC Gamer or some equivalent monthly magazine, somewhere around 94 to 98 or so. Came out around the same time as things like Brain Dead 13, Descent, Sim City, and I think Mario Teaches Typing may have been on the same disc. 2) While I don't remember the name, I KNOW it started with an N and I'm fairly certain the first part of it was Necro or Neuro. 3) It was a point-and-click puzzle game, very stark imagery and ambient music. The main location of the game was a maze looking thing with little black polygons in the ground. If you clicked them, they opened up to a new section where you had to solve some bizarro puzzle. The only other real object around you was a tree that's branches turned into a hand that was holding a glass sphere. 4) The story was something about a doctor that was lost in his own mind and slowly going insane. Somehow, you were inside his mind and looking for him, in hopes of helping him escape. 5) Maybe one of the most distinguishing parts of it was the first puzzle you run into; it was a floating head (that sort of looked like a seahorse?) that would talk at you while going through different emotions. One of them was the head yelling at you 'WHERE DID YOU HIDE MY CIGARETTES??' and that's the right one you're supposed to click on to finish that puzzle. The more I look at this, the more I realize that it must have been one hosed up game.

Okay there is a lot of pages to search through, does anyone know what the awesome game I played in elementary school. It was the early 90's and it was some like adventure-ish game where you searched around for clues about a whaler and junk from the town its set in. It was on a bunch of my schools computers along with Cross Country Canada or whatever that trucking game was called.

Sorry to dig this thread back up but my brother and I have been reminiscing about our old Commodore 64 and the lovely yet retarded games we used to play on it. CaveMan Ughlympics, Bruce Lee, Blood and Guts, Snokie, Dino Eggs, list goes on and on. There is one game that is bugging us to remember it. It takes place in a movie theatre lobby and you are trying to get enough tokens to get into the movie. You run around the lobby and check the pay phones for tokens, and some other places too. Also in the lobby are two little guys that kind of look like barstools on a unicycle. They try to steal the tokens from you. To keep them distracted as you collect tokens you have to put a token in the Popcorn machine, which they love, or the jukebox. Once you have all the tokens you can get into the movie. The graphics were horrible of course, everything was white. I think it may have been named Fur Elise, but google provides nothing. Anyone have any clue? I'm afraid it may have been some home grown game or foreign game as we had literally hundreds of games growing up but most I have not seen any proof of. Pengo, Pulga, Chilly Willy are a few.

They actually have made it for PS2 for some time, up to the 14th game in the series. (They're up to 18.) This video is from Pop'n Music 7, specifically, though the song (Classic 4 - Concertare) was originally on Pop'n Music 4. Here's a more recent video showing something of a similar skill level for how good people are at the game now. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9BX4LQYBUVY

Japanese game I swear I played as a demo on the Xbox 360 at least a year ago. It was a weird card/board/RPG game, where you had an M:tG style deck and dueled a CPU player for ownership of tiles on the board. It seemed really cool but I completely forgot about its existence. Anyone have an idea?

For the letter N: Noctropolis and just in case, I have No Mouth and I must Scream Due to the surreal imagery, I'm wagering it's Dark Seed 1 or 2. Sadly I've never finished the first two or started the latter two of these games despite all of them being on my watch list since I was a teen when they came out.

There was a game on NES or SNES (think it was the former) that I played once at a friend's house. It had two modes to it - in one it was RTS like, you were harvesting resources and building a city. After you'd done one level like that, it switched to the other mode where you were in a spaceship fighting some bad guy in a top-down mode, kind of like asteroids.

That didn't have a top-down spaceship dealie, but it did switch between side-scrolling action sequences and a SimCity type minigame.
