Probably I Am Alive. It was revealed at E3 two years ago, and I remember reading an article a few months ago saying it was either canned or extremely delayed. It's a shame too, the game sounded really neat.

Edit: It was scrapped, and they are starting over completely using the new Splinter Cell engine. There was a trailer at E3 2010, but it was essentially the same as the first trailer.

That's the one.

Shame....it looked really good. I hope it does come out eventually in some shape or form.

There used to be a DOS game I played where you're a female futuristic fighter pilot, and they'll be missions where you go through city streets killing other planes, and they also had night levels where you can turn on a green infrared type thing. In between the missions they had these cutscenes that gave you sort of a plot. I think you get shot and get revived and become a cyborg.

Edit: Thanks, I get a feeling a lot of people asked that question before.

I remember seeing a trailer for an upcoming game about a year ago. It was some kind of action/survival game set in a big city after a massive earthquake. The trailer showed the earthquake, some buildings collapsing, and very little else.

I remembered thinking it looked like a cool game, but have since completely forgotten what it was called. Can anyone refresh my memory?

Even though this game in particular was found, there are a few games which match this theme. The closest (and probably best) one was released on the Wii, as Disaster: Day of Crisis. I hear a North American release is coming soon, too.

On the PS2 you should also try Disaster Report and Raw danger. they're a little hokey and very low budget, but they're amusing and not too difficult. If anything these three tiles will get you even more pumped for I Am Alive's (hopeful) eventual release.

You can pick up all three Ishar games in a single compilation on gog.com for six bucks. Well worth it if you like DM-style games.

Lands of Lore might be too obvious to mention. There's also the likes of Stonekeep, Knightmare, Bloodwych, Ambermoon/Amberstar, Crystal Dragon and Abandoned Places.

I'm looking for a game that I once got in a PC-gamer disc.

It's a top-down RPG with paperdolls in the inventory and it shows things you click on with the mouse in the right corner of the screen.

It was overshadowed by games as Diablo and Warcraft 2 if I'm not wrong.


Sorry if I'm vague, it's just so drat hard to remember the game since it was 14+ years ago I played it.

Took a look through all of those. None of them fit the bill, unfortunately :(

Like I said it might've been shareware, since I don't think I had that many full games back when I played it. I'm also starting to think that I made it up in my head, probably mashed together a number of games that I was playing in my youth. But damnit, I remember the gradiented-style graphics of the characters' heads, I swear I do. And I'm positive there was a single town to visit, and a doorway leading into the dungeon in this town. Nooo my sanity.

There is a game i played like at least ten years ago, you were a pac-man looking guy, it wasn't an official pacman game though I'm pretty sure. It was on the PC, so it could be some obscure thing I stumbled across blindly. Anyway, you went through a bunch of levels, they weren't traditional pacman mazes, there were different worlds and there was a space level that I'm positive used the Mos Eisley cantina theme. It wasn't Pacman Worlds i'm pretty sure, it seemed like it was some unlicensed spinoff.

I have that game, it was made in Klik N Play or something like that. Let me go find it...

Ah, yes, the Pac Pack. The first CD-ROM game we got for our computer back in 1999. For a budget game that used unlicensed MIDI versions of Star Wars music and had several other trademark-skirting parodies it was actually pretty entertaining. I'm tempted to do a Let's Play now, whenever I no longer suck. Hey, here's a video by someone else!

I'm looking for the name of a game I used to play on 3.1. It was a 2d overhead view of a dungeon, the graphics of the corridors were very basic (like minesweeper) and you just moved around the empty spaces with the arrow keys. Walking around you might reveal the stairs down to the level below (which looked the same except for the layout maybe) where the monsters were harder, and then you just repeated that and I think it may have only gone 10 levels. You would also randomly (I think) run into monsters that would bring up a battle screen which was half a picture of the monster and the other was your stats and commands to run, attack, or talk. You made money as you went and could run back up to a shop on a higher level to upgrade your gear and to heal.

I googled what I could think of but I mostly ran into Dungeon Keeper or Dungeon Master in most of the search results and neither of those or any games in those series (as far as I can tell) were the one I'm looking for.

This game was on the forum less then a month ago but I can't find it. I never played it but it's a final fantasy tactics type game but you only control 1 player. I think its a free to play online rpg as well, its not poxnora though, It also has an isometric angle, and pixel style graphics.

Well, it wasn't rogue and it didn't have run in a terminal. Roguelikes seem like a good place to start looking but none that I've looked at so far match what I'm after. It was also a single character that you played, not a party, if that helps.

I had a NES Shmup where you were a guy in with a jetpack, instead of a spaceship or a plane. The art on the game cartridge or the box was your guy going up against a long-necked dragon who may or may not have had a woman in its clutches.

Ok, a long time ago, me and my mother used to be addicted to this game. It may have been on AOL's games section way back in the day as shareware. It's one of those tile-turning games, where you have to guide a taxi from start to finish, and rotate the tiles to make a road. The longer you drove, the higher your fare and thus, your money to upgrade the taxi (there were snow tires that let you drive on special snow tiles, etc) or fill up your tank in between levels. Googling hasn't turned up much. Anyone else remember this?

If you think this has a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention.
Looking for a PC game that I played about 10 years ago, you had a hoverboard and you killed civilians in a few fairly small maps, the first was a city I think, then the police came, then the army, then air force or whatever. They dropped money so that you could buy new guns and poo poo.

Does anyone remember this game?

You ran around these crazy floating crypts destroying little caves the monsters spawned from. With all the money we spent playing that, I can't believe we never beat it. I'm sure you guys know which game I mean, so thanks in advance!

PS1, 3rd person sci-fi adventure. The beginning has you as this bearded dude that steps out of a cryotube butt naked. You meet up with a robot (whose name I think was teepo or something weird like that) and walk around fiddling with keypads and poo poo. The two distinct things I remember from the game are A) the main characters nudity in the intro (first time I've ever seen a polygonal dick in a video game) and B) a scene where a door comes slamming down on the protagonist, nearly chopping him in half, and you have to play as the robot or something to find medical aid.
