Looked it up, but that's not it. Graphics were much nicer and had a more realistic quality to them. It was a 2D side-scroller type action game, I'm beginning to doubt the educational value in it. You might have had to fight a shark boss at the end of each level?

Another one! This one I really might of imagined it or I could of been fooled by some cut scene. But anyways, I remember the first time I saw Dragons Lair in an arcade I was pretty young. So it must of been between 83 and 86-87 tops. I was really impressed and some times later I saw another game running it seemed the same engine/style but all I can remember is some guy (detective?) in a car and a volkswagen beetle crashing into trash cans. Thats all I remember! So maybe it was not a dragons lair type game and I just saw some cut scene but I think I remember playing and losing super fast because I didnt get the hit the button when it flashes thingy at that age.

Thanks!!! edit: all this success made me remember something really loving old. Like 79-82 in that range. And it might of not even have been a game!! It was a free arcade machine at some restaurant I think. It cost nothing. It had a map with boats and I remember you couldn't do much. Its very possible it was not a game at all but something interactive with boats. I want to say it was pirate themed but it could be cruise ships too.

It's a platformer. You're a cop (or private dick) and go around puonching "street toughs" and having sex with prostitutes. You can change between various positions and when you make the prostitute cum she gives you a powerup or information. In a couple of levels you ride around on a chopper. Also, each mission unlocks a sex toy which you can use between missions on your girlfriend. Does anyone know what this game is called? I loved it in my early teen years.

OK this is driving me mad, and I probably don't remember enough for anyone to recognise the game but here goes: There were two squirrels (or furry animals of some kind), one black and one brown, and they rode around on a sort of rollercoaster-in-space type thing, which you controlled with buttons at the bottom of the screen. I remember... puzzles, maybe? One set in a concert hall. Nobody will know this game, but I'm 70% sure I didn't imagine it...

There was a small game that I played in the early 2000s which was a fighting game. All the characters were animals which had been experimented on or something like that and could change between baby forms and giant robo-animals. I think very few rounds there was a minigame or something? All of the baby animal attacks were themed such as hitting the enemy with a baby bottle. There were for sure a dog and rhino character, I think a goldfish and a few more as well. EDIT: Never mind, it was Battle Beast Wild Bearcat Attack fucked around with this message at 23:49 on Nov 16, 2010 |

I have a vague one. It was a sort of point and click adventure game, but I don't seem to recall ever seeing a character (might have been a first person game, but I'm not 100 percent sure.) I remember it seemed to take place in Egypt or some place similar, and had stuff involving treasure and pyramids and sand and stuff. You could choose powers at the start and all I remember is that there was one called "Clairvoyance" that made the game super duper easy.

Okay so there was this game on the Sega Master System that had some kind of Mexican theme. You'd wander around killing poo poo on the map as a little bandito boy or something. Sometimes you'd defeat things and they'd join you as companions, following you around like auxiliary characters in the old RPGS and I think they would attack enemies with you or something.

There was this game that was kinda like myst, but you had a timemachine instead of a spaceship/zeppelin thing, graphics were really dated, I remember playing it a couple of years back when I was just a wee lad. From what I can remember you started in this mansion thing and found the timemachine and depending on what combination of dials and switches you pressed, it sent you to a different place.

Here's one, I remember a game from the early 90's or late 80's ish area. Essentially it was a side view maze game where you were an orange sub searching for some sort of space meteor-x or something. Periodically you'd have to solve a math problem to continue, taking damage for an incorrect answer. You also had ink pellets to incapacitate sea-life temporarily. I'd love to play it again.

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?

Does anybody remember the name of this game? It was an upcoming MMO announced a couple years ago, probably cancelled by now. The only thing I can remember about the name of it was that it had World in the title, but I'm probably wrong about that, haha.

I used to think I didn't know what I was talking about regarding this game, but my memory has been corroborated, so I guess I can ask about this game. It's an SNES game, released at the very latest in 1995 (probably more like "before 95"), and it just seemed a lot like Shadowrun in that you saved by sleeping and poo poo, except it wasn't dystopian and I seem to remember something about a very bright white sidewalk I couldn't get back up on once I walked off of it. I might be wrong here, but for some reason I get the impression that there was something very rotoscope-ey about the visuals. I mean, it's not like I know a lot about it, I played about five minutes of someone else's save file when I was six, so the memory is almost twenty years old, but yeah.

There was a game I played several years ago that I've never been able to find since. Something java/flash based, maybe even shockwave it's been so long. Single player. You had shopping cart drag races, and you could upgrade your shopping cart with better wheels & such against AI competitors & you could see these upgrades on your cart. You also had to drive the cart yourself, controlling when to hit the gas & such.

I've been looking for an old game from back in the day. It was an old first person dungeon crawler for the Commodore 64 I believe. It looked a lot like the nes game Shadow Gate below, but it was in black & white. All I remember about it was watching my older brother fight knights and blob monsters.

Okay, this is super annoying, and I've already forgotten and remembered the name of this game a couple of times. It just keeps slipping out of my mind every couple of years. It's like trying to remember a dream. The game is EXACTLY like Snow Bros in terms of gameplay, but you play as a gravekeeper type character, and instead of covering monsters in snow you set them on fire with your lamp. I know it's not even that fun but it's killing me to have forgotten. Here is Snow Bros for reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=apIYZbGXW9Y

Alright I got one from the olden days that I'm trying to remember, so here is what I remember. It was some kind of space game where you would send ships around and such, not quite like Star Control I don't think. I remember this one scene that would seemingly happen all the time to my ships, which basically equated to a cut-scene of a generic guy in a cockpit putting his hands on his face and then his face explodes. I can say for certain that it was an old game, and I'm 50% sure I played it on the PC.

Got one I've been trying to rememeber for a while. Me and my cousin used to play this old Sega Genesis platformer that I can't remember the name of. I seem to remember the art style being on the dark/weird side. The main thing I remember is in between levels you had to do these mini games like tic-tac-toe, or rock paper scissors, to beat the boss? Hopefully someone can recall this one.
