Here's a request... A PC Windows games from around 1994-95 I'd guess. It was a futuristic driver, your car looked like an old jalopy that had been converted into a hover car. Most others looked the same I think. You would drive in these canals, hard to explain but basically the bottom was flat and the walls were on 45 degree angles so you could drive up on the walls if you wished. You would run different kinds of missions and your car was loaded up with weapons and poo poo. I think you could choose what kind of weapons before missions, though I don't recall exactly. Overall the areas looked real trashy and gritty.

Right sort of age, hover cars, gritty setting, missions and customizable weapons. I just don't remember the canals so much - that's the only reason I'm not 100% sure.

Looked at some screen caps of that and I should mention that I don't think there was any in-dash view option. All the view angles are from outside the car. The "canals" for lack of a better term were a part of the challenge because ultimately they ended up being a maze or dead ends where you had to swing around and fight your way out of whoever was chasing you. Edit> Oh yeah and there was one minor detail that may not help. Even for the age of the game the motor sounds were really nice. I would play the game sometimes just to rev up and tear around the canals. Despite them being all hovering and poo poo it still sounded like they had a gnarly big block V8 or something. Last I remember it was basically always night time in the game... it was very dark. Edit 2> I remembered I bought the game because I played it on a demo disk that had all sorts of games on it a friend gave me and really dug it. It had some old LucasArts games demos on it too like Full Throttle and some Star Wars FPS. I don't believe it was strictly a LucasArts demo disk though, I looked through the LucasArts games and nothing looked like that game.

Vakal posted:It looked a lot like the nes game Shadow Gate below, but it was in black & white. All I remember about it In addition to Hal Incandenza's good suggestions, it could certainly be one of the early Wizardry games. Or Akalabeth; yes, it sounds like splitting hairs as most people call it "Ultima 0," but you might not find it if cursorily looking at Ultima games to check them. For that matter, depending on the time frame we are talking about here, it could have been your brother playing any manner of 1980s or even early 1990s first-person CRPG on a monochrome monitor. Abandoned Places, Dungeon Master/II, Ishar, oh no, I do not even want to think about just how many there were. But I would bet you would have mentioned if your memory were from 1992.

Old old DOS game, where you drove some sort of buggy around (top-down view) on an island that had forests and mountains, and you were hunting down a certain number of missile silos. Anyone remember what this was?

The game I'm looking for is on PC. It came out probley in 1997. I remember the game having a female lead character. It was a futuristic diablo-esque clone. It is not ONI. But I never played it and saw the box and thought it looked fun.

I'm trying to remember the name of a couple games, both for the PS1. One was an rpg where I think you could transform into different monsters and stuff? I don't think it was turn based combat...That's probably way too vague but, hey, if anyone has any guesses. The other I remember more vividly. It was this game where you would control characters on a board made up of hexagons and would fight the computer when two characters met. There was a character named quicksilver, a guy riding a hoverbike or something who could kill himself as an attack and a farting rhino.

Thanks a lot! I went and found some gameplay and I immediately recognized the main characters weird rear end weapon. I'm still not sure if it's supposed to be some kind of sword-hammer hybrid or what.

Back when I was a kid and picked games solely by their awesome, misleading covers I bought this lovely-rear end driving game for the PS1. You drove some sort of Lamborghini armed with lasers and missiles and drove on some roads in space or something. One distinct "feature" was that you couldn't reverse at all: if you tried to do a 180 degree turn, the game would automatically turn your car around. Also it felt that the competing cars were just spawning randomly for aesthetics and your shooting pleasure. The cover of the game had a red futuristic car with some machine guns mounted to it. I think the name was something like "Auto-Combat". I know of Auto-Destruct which was a semi-good game for its time - the one I'm trying to remember was total poo poo. I think it came out around 1996. Please help me out!

^^^^ Was it Spy Hunter on the PS2 maybe? I asked about this a long time ago, but none of the suggestions I got ended up being it. I'm hoping someone new will see this and know what I'm babbling about. Waaaay back in the day, when computers still used the huge 5" floppies, and 3.25" were a brand new thing, and most computers either ran on DOS or Windows 3.1 (or IBM's proprietary Windows-like platform, which I can't remember the name of), there was this game about being a wizard's apprentice, or being a student at a wizard academy or something like that. The art style was hand-drawn and cartooney - 2D Sierra-style adventure game perspective that looked and played very much like an old Liesure-Suit Larry game. You were this nerdy, bumbling wizard wannabe in an academy trying to do I-can't-remember-what. I recall some fairly adult innuendos, and what I'm pretty sure was a frat house. You picked up items, searched things an tried to use things with text commands, very much like Maniac Mansion. What the hell am I remembering?

If it had a text-interpreter, chances are it used AGI or SCI, so see if any of the games on those lists ring a bell.

And the frat house was a location early on as well. edit: Well...on second thought maybe not, since it wasn't a 2D Sierra game or played like that, they were more like classic Zork-style text adventures except with graphics.

I cannot for the life of me remember the name of this Super NES game I used to play at the neighbor kid's house back in the early 90s. I remember it was a sidescrolling beat-em-up featuring those more "mature" "badass" versions of the Troll dolls (yknow, the ones with potbellies and fuzzy, brightly colored hair?) and you would beat up dudes and get crystals I think? For points? Or health? That's pretty much all I remember. I don't even remember the name of those toys the game was licensed off of, or I'm sure I'd be able to find it.

Was a beat em up type game on the NES, you would go around fight people on the screen, when it was done you would usually pick a door to go to a new room and continue fighting. I remember some of the rooms containing women that would swing their purses at you, another level you were on a motorcycle and could kick other peoples bikes down.
