I don't know if it was a limited release thing, or regional or whatever but most people I know had it come bundled with this space combat sim type game. It's on the tip of my tongue but for the life of me I can't remember what that game was called. Maybe it was Starlancer?

Wasn't Freespace or Starlancer. Would've been late 90's I'm pretty sure. The disc cover was a fiery kind of background with the logo and title over the top of it I think.

It was a side scrolling adventure game, I think it featured a ninja/karate/action type character, and you went through various levels. Most were inside this lair type dungeon, and I distinctively remember one of the later levels having these bolts of electricity that lit up the floor that you had to jump over. I do not remember this character using any type of guns or shooting weapons. Impossible Mission? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impossible_Mission

What game is this? I stumbled upon it in an article and I remember playing it! EDIT: Maybe you'll have better luck if I post the link http://unrealitymag.com/index.php/2011/04/01/an-overload-of-nostalgic-90s-pc-game-screenshots/games_21/

Okay here goes: - You play as a dragon. Flying around, shooting flames and stuff. Just generally kicking rear end. - 3D - I think it was multiplayer in the fact that you can have a gunner on your dragon too. Perhaps covering your tail? Maybe I'm making this up though. I want to say I remember seeing game play footage of this around the time a new console was about to come out. It had the feeling of "wow look what this new console can do!" That's all I've got. Any ideas?

Man, that seems like it should be it, but I don't think it was. Perhaps a sequel? I remember it looking a lot more badass. I think it was around the time ps2 came out? Maybe xbox?

There are three sequels. Panzer Dragoon Zwei and Panzer Dragoon Saga (also on Saturn), and Panzer Dragoon Orta (on XBox).

Looking for the name of an indie game where you could send in a picture of yourself and they'd make a fancy sprite of you and put you in the game. I don't really care to actually play the game, just want to check out those sprites again! Thanks in advance!

I've been trying to remember this game mod, recently. It was for something relatively recent, I think Unreal Tournament 2004? It was singleplayer, a mod entirely in black and white with no sound effects. You were this astronaut guy, exploring an abandoned asteroid base or something like that; it was kinda horror themed. Does anyone remember what this was called?

Looking for a computer game I played somewhere between 1990 and 1996, could have been a bit older than that. The game screen was mostly trees and you controlled a helicopter putting out forest fires. I think sometimes you would rescue people too? There was an enemy copter that would cause more fires and maybe abduct people. It may have been a minigame, I really can't say. Pretty sure it was a computer of some sort, the console stayed downstairs.

Trying to remember the name of a PS1-Sega Saturn era game. You were in space, and I think there were seemingly invisible aliens. They liked to use the tagline: No one can hear your screams in space or something like that.

Got another one... PSX game, it was some futuristic racing game. I think that the tracks were in space, twisted all around like some horrible mutated pretzel and I think there was an altitude control and the closer you got the faster you'd go. Also there was a main character you took the role of, I want to say the name was Connor but I have no clue.

Years and years ago, I played a 16-color side-scroller in a Gateway 2000. You played a green alien with red hair, collected fruit, and tried to find your parents after your ship crashed. And at the end you got eaten anyways. Can't for the life of me remember what it was called, but it was running on DOS.

This sounds a lot like SimCopter, but I don't think there was an enemy copter in that game, and the maps were usually more city scape than trees. edit: There was a UFO that would abduct people and cause fires, though.

I'm trying to track down a game I saw on Home of the Underdogs back in the day (yo); trouble is, they've changed the layout of their site, and I can't find it. It was a space exploration/trade/combat game that supported up to six players; each of the players had a unique character with his own agenda and a manual containing a lot of numbered paragraphs (like Wasteland) to read off when the computer prompted you to. There were at least two games in the series. The presentation was extremely dry, almost or entirely all text, as the computer largely served as a referee (though you could play it single-player). Anybody know this one?

It's an old windows 3.1 game.. I remember the main character was a chick named Vasquez, with a military rank (Lieutennant?). It was a top-down game where you drive a car that reminds me a bit of a vulture from starcraft and battle other cars on the road in a city. In the end of the first episode, she gets blown up somehow and comes back in the second episode as a cyborg.

What was that extremely low-quality, weirdass, first-person bible game for PC? It had polygon graphics, low resolution textures, and I think you could kill people, but you weren't really supposed to. It may have been featured on the SA front page.

What is that mostly text-based PC game where you play a student at a Harry Potter-inspired magic academy? There was a thread about this game maybe two years ago, and I've long since forgotten the title.
