Are you thinking of Mystic Towers, by any chance?

Ok so this was a side-scroller for the SNES, but you could move up and down the screen, kind of like the TMNT game.


-There were three or four characters to be, wizard/archer/at least one more. I'm pretty sure each of them had a bit of audio they played when they did their special attacks

-You picked up these circle things, gold outline with a blue interior, I think they gave you powers. Like every circle thing gave you a use of your power

-Wizards special was this thing where four lightning bolts would strike around him.

-One of the levels had a stone walkway, pillars in the background with the sky between them. I believe you fight a green hydra at some point?

This is stupidly vague but it's killing me.

I don't remember the exact name but it was something like "Dungeon Master."

This was a flash game, I saw it on Newgrounds and I'm pretty sure it was a big name like Armor Games, maybe Kongregate (or however it's spelled). This is the one I definitely put the most amount of time into:
- I would equate it to a 2D Mount&Blade
- You created a male or female character based on a medieval archetype, viking, samurai, Teutonic knight, etc
- Leveled up different stats, standard.
- You traveled a small world across a large scale map going from town to town, complete freedom.
- In the world map you would run into bandits.
- You had horses, wide assortment of gear to buy. From each archetype.
- Weapons were standard swords, spears, bows, shurikans, greek fire, etc
- Battles were grid based side scrolling beat-em-ups.
- If you had archers in your reserve you could use them to launch a volley from off screen.
- You also bought soldiers from different towns.
- Each town was based on an archetype.
- You could capture towns. Larger towns with palaces required you to go in and kill guys in the palace too.
- There were quests but they were mostly go here kill bandits or deliver money.

This one old curses/dos-mode (ran inside on a cmd.exe window anyway) where you played as this little ASCII smiley face. I think there's been extensions of it from the original one for multiplayer or something but I can't remember the name of it at all.

This is a puzzle game where you are a rat, and you have to push blocks through a labyrinth in order to get all the cheese. There are also cats trying to kill you, but you can crush them between blocks. Any idea?

Rodent's Revenge? There's a download of it here apparently.

The second is a BBC Micro game that was released in the early 80s. It was a single screen with several blue platforms connected with yellow ladders. Your character had to dig a little hole that monsters would fall into, and you would then have to run and hit them with a hammer till they fell through the hole and died on the platform below. Some monsters had to fall further, so you had to dig several holes above one another so they had further to fall. One of the monsters looked something like this:



Any ideas?

Firstly, a game from the Amiga 500 (so early 90s I would guess) where you had to kick these brown football monster things (think a soccer ball with eyes and teeth) at your opponent at the other end of the pitch, to knock them down.
Any ideas?

PSX. I played it from a demo disc. It was a fighting game, in which 2 characters would run all over a 3d landscape (the camera was like a bird eye view) throwing fire and ice bolts and such magic stuff at each other.

I saw a video of an upcoming game and I cannot remember what the title was. The thing I remember most from the video is that it's coop and one player's perks will help another player. The example I saw in the video is if one player cloaks and his friends are nearby, they will cloak too. I think it was a third person shooter of some type. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

I could use some help!

I used to play this game every time I went to my step-dad's place, and I'm pretty sure it was on a Sega system. Either Genesis or Master, I'm not sure.

Anyway, the game involved two guys on jetpacks, and you flew through very alien landscapes in a rather horizontal shooter pattern. What I remember best is that, sometimes, the levels were done from behind, kind of like Contra for the NES. Oh, and there was a shop where you could buy power-up for your guns and stuff.

Been trying to remember/find this one for years now.

That's interesting, I never realised it was a clone of anything, it's just called Monsters on the BBC/Electron.

I don't think this has been asked yet.... it was an old arcade game in the 80's for 3 players. It was over head or 3/4s overhead view and you ran around busting up monster nests and it was a real quarter eater. There was a blue guy with a whip and fedora, I think a green dude with a spear, and a woman in red with a sword or something.

I like going back and playing old games I was never good at and realizing they were just bad games and I didn't totally suck at arcade games when I was 8 (I actually did).

Random PC game in the 90's. Called Funky Brewsters or something. Funky something. Had a bunch of mini games. Really weird art style. That's all I got. I really wanna watch a YouTube of it to bring back memories. I think a digitized voice said the name of the game in the intro.

I vaguely remember this Japanese action RPG/RTS mix for the super nintendo that I played back in the 90s. It's very unique in that the battles take place on a top down grid and you move your character around, you just move next to an enemy and your character auto attacks. You can only control one character at a time but your army can contain dozens of guys, you can switch control between characters while the computer assume control of everybody else.

The cool thing is you can have a whole bunch of armies running around the world map, which I think is mode 7, it resembles the world map of sword of mana 3. There are two cool things I remember about that game, one is a secret character in the form of a mage. You do a bunch of stuff to turn an archer into the mage, the mage can only be himself, he cannot join other armies. But in exchange he gets a one shot attack every battle where he kills EVERYTHING on the entire map.

The other cool thing is this huge battle right before you storm the final boss' castle. It's this huge battlefield with no trees or any other obstacle, it's just your army against a huge enemy army. As you fight on reinforcements come in from both sides, eventually it's all of your armies on the screen at once against probably hundreds of enemy soldiers, a huge clusterfuck in the middle of this empty map. It was the most epic thing ever for my 8 year old self.
