Rad Action/Kid Ninja? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_MoaYv2IoPA&feature=related No grappling hook, but something that looks like giant red ninja heads about 4:10 in. No dungeon, either, but as I recall, the game had insane, random warp points and a ton of levels.

This is bit vague, but I remember back in 1990ish seeing a computer game running in a shop, but all I saw was one screen and it was a picture of a toilet with teeth - it was a pretty big picture so my brain thinks that it was either a cut scene, or the game was some kind of adventure game. I'm also pretty sure it was on an Amiga or an Atari ST. That is literally all of the information I have about the game, but I have been periodically and casually searching for this game for the past 5 years on google images to find it, and putting toilet with teeth into google image search can really hurt your mind sometimes.

There was a top down tactical shooter where you controlled a group of soldiers, and another player controlled another group and each person took turns making them do certain things (click near a wall, "take cover at wall, move to wall, lean against wall" or something) and the other player would do the same thing. Then, both of the players moves would happen at the same time. The background (I think) looked like floor plans, and I don't think it was released yet. It's kind of vague but it's been bothering me for awhile. Any ideas?

Oh boy. Here goes. Its a point and click adventure game I played, or rather watched other kids play in my math class back in the early 90s. The one scene that stands out is you're in the swamp on front of a small house or hut. Off to the side of the entrance in the murky water are a pair of eyes. If you investigate the eyes a big frog rises from the water and eats you whole. That's all I remember.

There was this Dos game or something that had a hex-based grid and you were like the AI on a space station and the ship had cargo and aliens and humans on it. You can add lights, airlocks and some defenses I think and you could also suck things out into space. The aliens hated the lights as they'd be at a disadvantage vs humans and would try to break them along with whatever else was in the room, including airlocks which may mean they breach your locked door to your precious cargo/humans or into the emptiness of space and blast everyone and everything out through the airlock. I think there may have been pressure pads as well or something, but I'm not sure. This was a long time ago I had this it was free most likely and I forgot the name of it and could never find it again.

Now I barely remember anything about this game: basically just that it was maybe mid-90s to early 2000s, it was on the Windows PC, and one level of it. The level took place in somebody's mouth. It was nasty, with like green gums and missing teeth. There were also metal braces between some teeth that would electrify every few seconds. In the background there was this horrible dentist drill whining. The protagonist (I think) was a thin and wiry kid with a large head, but I could be remembering wrong on that. It was a platformer, kinda, but I think it had point and click elements. I hope this wasn't mentioned before in the thread but it's like 48 pages long.

I have one that may be legitimately difficult(no, really), but this thread has a pretty amazing track record so far, especially with some more obscure stuff lately. I remember playing a game in elementary school (I'd place it about aboooout 1990) that taught kids how to type. It was for the Apple IIGS I thiiiink, and was notable because at the end of each lesson (like home row, upper row, etc), you would have a typing test/challenge. When you succeed at this challenge, you lower some sort of drawbridge for a little troll or gnome to cross, as this troll/gnome was probably the mascot of the game or something. Other things I remember are that the screens were mostly white (used it as a background color and such), and that it when it showed how to place your fingers on the keys, the on-screen fingers were pretty drat huge. Help me out goons! It's this very game that led to me being able to type like a motherfucker now, so I know I didn't hallucinate this.

Okay I have one. I think it was for the Playstation 1 (but could have been for the SNES). It was a top-down shooter game where you controlled three different types of vehicle. Possibly Tank, Jeep and Helicopter. It had a two player mode which was great and when one player lost I seem to remember a skull laughing on screen...

I have quite a weird one. This is one of the first games I remember playing on a PC. It was some sort of adventure game for kids. It was 2D, and if I'm not mistaken, was at a side-scrolling perspective for the whole game. All I remember is that you play as some sort of green monster kid (I think? I do remember the color green, and I don't think the character was human). It may have been a series of games, but in the one I played it centered around exploring an old (haunted?) mansion. The only specifics remember is that there's a lot of travelling in an elevator, and there's encounter with the Mona Lisa at some point. I'm pretty sure that the painting talks to you.

Trying to remember the name of a game I played the demo for a ton back in the mid-late 90's, I think the demo was on a PC Gamer disc. It was an 3/4 top-down isometric game with cartoony graphics where you controlled a gang of thugs, I think some were construction workers and you would send them out to build (I think, fuzzy on this part) and do battle with different colored gangs. It was pretty bright, not serious at all that I can remember.

This one's super vague, sorry. I saw this game in 1997, but I don't know when it actually came out. Obviously before 1998, but I don't know how old it was at the time. It was (probably) an RTS, either top-down or isometric, with a fantasy setting. There were dragons, which were not your typical green but I don't remember what color they actually were. Maybe red? The ground was snowy, and since I wasn't the one playing all I really remember was watching my friend's dragons destroying some buildings on this snowy landscape. I know it's not much to go on, but it'd be great to get a title. edit: just realized that the super-obvious answer is Warcraft 2, but it's definitely not Warcraft 2.

Quite a few years ago, I played a game on my PC that placed you in the role of a prehistoric caveman. You had to travel around, gathering food by hunting or foraging while avoiding enemy tribes and dangerous animals. One really cool thing about the game was the crafting, you could make hatchets and assegais (some kind of a spear I think) out of flint. This is what the crafting interface looked like: Another thing I remember from the game was the conversation system. While wandering around in the wilderness, you'd find other people who you could talk to. Sometimes they'd get angry and threaten to kill you, but you could talk to them and threaten them back and sometimes they would get absolutely terrified and beg for mercy. The version I played was only the demo version, the village elder of my home village gave me a task to hunt some food for the tribe and after I came back with the food he went "Thanks for the help! If you want to play more, buy the full version of the game!". I think I might have axed him in the face after that and gotten the entire tribe angry at me.

Rollersnake posted:I think it looks better than Alone in the Dark, but early survival horror in general is not a pretty sight. Were there ever any games other than this and that awful fighting game Ballz to make use of this graphical style? There was also the Petz series (Catz, Dogz, Oddballz). The Little Big Adventure games used it to an extent for things like hands and eyes, but it was mostly polygons there. It's a shame that we don't get many unusual game engines these days, that stuff was quite interesting.

It used a pressure sensitive pad peripheral, where you could insert different picture cards. (like the Intellivision, but bigger). The cards were the size of an A4 sheet of paper, maybe a little bit smaller, and I think one of the cards may have had pictures of different fruits on it.
