There was an rpg I played in the early-to-mid 90's. It was a point and click style game, somewhat similar to King's Quest. The animation was also similar (from what I can remember). Your character was a blond male, early 20's or late teens. He wore a dark red / brown tunic. You had the choice of picking Magician, Thief, or Warrior. It was standard fantasy setting. I remember crawling around in attics, solving puzzles, and fighting Wraiths. Bonus!! Round 2: There was another game, similar to Might and Magic. First person view, graphics comparable to Hexen. 6 people in your party. I remember when I played I had a Lion man guy and a Lizard man guy on my team. I couldn't find it on this list: http://www.mobygames.com/featured_article/feature,31/section,217/ I believe it had the word "Thunder" in the title.

I remember downloading a bootleg copy of a game back around 2000 or 2001, it was a action/not-quite-rpg, 3/4th overhead view. Graphics were decent for the time but not realistic 3D, more like 3D sprites. From what I recall, you had crash landed on a planet - I believe you were on a prison ship but I can't remember if you're a guard or not - and it was a huge city to explore. The major selling point was that while you were going around doing your thing, the NPCs were doing their own thing - you could follow random people on the street around and they'd go from shop to shop or house to house and do whatever. The world went on around you even if you weren't interacting with it. I think it was developed by an Australian company but I could be wrong. Anyone have any idea what I'm talking about?

I even did an LP of it like four years ago (it's in the LP archives though the page is a bit busted so many of the screenshots appear twice in a row), and ran a typically ill-fated attempt to get goons to voice act it. drat, that was fast. Much appreciated. Can't say I'm surprised I didn't remember the order of events properly, I think I was eight years old when I played it.

Here's a difficult one that's been bothering me for a few weeks now. There was an RTS-type game back when 3D games were just starting to show up. There were three alien races colored red, green and blue. They were fairly insectoid looking but the models were not very complex. Fairly simple triangular shapes. From the screenshots I remember the camera was down at ground level watching the action. The only other thing I remember clearly was a single unit that looked like a Zoanthrope and was called a Mindflayer (Red aliens) I think the title was something like Natural Selection, Evolution, or something like that.

Has Overhead RTS elements for the commander class or whatever, but only one race of aliens. The rest of the players do it in FPS style while I think the commander points out targets and guides you on a tactical level. Fun mod, but I joined in late and couldn't learn quick enough without eating a face of lead or getting eaten by aliens constantly.

I played a game demo that came with an issue of the UK PC Gamer around say 1999/2000 or before then. It was sort of like an Elite style game (fly around in a vehicle trading stuff or shooting stuff) except you were in a flying car of some sort, and (at least the demo portion) was set in some futuristic wasteland city. There might have been lightning you had to avoid too. The intro to the game was some guy in a dark room smoking and talking about how he used to have a dog, but he shot it when it bit him. It was kind of irrelevant to the game come to think about it.

pud posted:This might be Metal Marines. ah, I was gone the last couples days so I couldn't see the post before now... but nope, the game I'm looking for isn't metal marines. It has better graphics, its definitely a sega genesis/saturn game. It had a more of a top down view instead of that 3/4 isometric view. All I really remember is the base going into "SOS" mode whenever you were attacked. You could fly around as a jet and then turn into a mech whenever you wanted. I think you could also play with 2 people. Man, this has been dogging me lately. Thanks for any help, fellas!

Okay, reposting from like a year ago. I had a game on one of those 1001 games on two cds things. It was just called "Amiga". It absolutely looked like a pre-NES game. The screen was full of different shaped blocks. You controlled a snake, and you started at the top. You push down, and you would go down until you hit a block. Then you could turn. The goal was to get to a green block somewhere on the map. All the rest of the blocks were orange-ish red. Searching for "Amiga game" doesn't work, obviously. Anyone have any idea where I could find it?

There's a number of games out there with that same "continue until you hit something" puzzle mechanic. For example: Road Blocks 1 Road Blocks 2 Excit

I'm trying to find a PC game from maybe 7 or more years ago (I think?) that was ostensibly supposed to be some sort of treatment program for ADD, ADHD, or other mental disorder, but was interesting in its own right. It was a bit like Jumping Flash for the PS, in that you would try to ascend from platform to platform, eventually making it to a goal. It was rather abstract. Any ideas? (yes, posted to another 'help me find' thread as well)

I have two different Quake2 mods in mind that I can't think of the name for... One was a CTF variant, not Threewave, but it did have a grappling hook. There were numerous ugly skins and gigantic maps. The second was team deathmatch but with weapons you had to "control" so your team could use them. i.e. if you stood on a rocket launcher for 10 seconds it would turn the color of your team and all team members would have it instantly. I was in a clan with one of the devs, it was a lot of fun.

I have a game I can't remember that has been bugging me for years. It was on the SNES (pretty sure). If I remember correctly, the game was a ninja-themed RPG, where the battles were side-scrolling action sequences where you walk around and punch the monsters. I believe there was a world map. It also supported 2-players. I can't remember much about it other than that.

I'm trying to find the name of an educational game from the 90s (around the time Windows 95 was big). You play as an alien kid who is wandering through a haunted house, solving math-related puzzles and mini-games. I can't for the life of me remember the name. I had it around the same time the game series Dr. Brain was around.

I'm looking for what I have to assume is a terrible shooter for the PS2 which had a giant monster somewhere on the box (I think in a screenshot). I was in gamestop with a friend a few years back and we came across a box for a game we had both never heard of in the bargain bin. I just seem to recall there being a huge monster in one of the screenshots. We just assumed it was terrible since it was in the bargain bin and had such a generic name, however, I recently found myself wondering how awful it actually was and wanted to see if I could track down some gameplay footage of said monster. Of course I can't find it anymore since I don't have a name for the game, and I tried looking through the list of shooters for PS2 on GameFAQs and couldn't find anything that seemed right.

I seem to recall the box being dark, probably mostly black, and I don't remember there being much of a recognizable art style to it (so no anime-esque characters). It's hard to describe the box and title as anything more than generic, because neither of us remembers it. The monster I remember walked on two legs and I seem to recall it was very very large. Probably not Shadow of the Colossus size, but still big enough that it caught us off guard. "Whoa, that monster is huge, how come we've never heard of an FPS dealing with enemies that size?" Thanks, though.

Painkiller: Hell Wars was released on the PS2 in Europe and it's the only game I can think of that matches your description. Screenshot of the Xbox version box art which was released in America. All the bosses in Painkiller are super huge. Other than Painkiller, there's literally only one supernatural first person shooter on the PS2 that I can think of and that's Darkwatch.
