Man, Return Fire has to be the single most asked-about game in these threads. Not that there's anything wrong with that because it was pretty awesome.

This is going to be a bit of hard one, mostly because all I remember about it are bits and pieces. It was a PC-game released around the year 2000. The small parts of the game (demo?) I can remember was that I controlled a bipedal robot. Somehow this robot was actually a bald man who had gotten "jacked in" Matrix-style into a world where people handled pent-up aggression by blowing eachother up (while being robots). In one of the first sequences a non-bald man helps him out and introduces him to the world. The game was played in third-person straight-behind view, but I remember being able to build other robots and attack an enemy base. The "coolest" thing I remember is I could morph the bipedal-robot into a flying robot and fly around the skirmish map. This ring a bell with anyone? I've tried to google around, but it's pretty drat hard when you can't remember the name itself.

I've got a massive urge to play this and I'm dying if I can remember more than a couple of details: DOS or PC RTS game with a fantasy theme, players chose from a large array of element based factions ((Earth, Fire, Light, Dark, Chaos etc) from a large circular menu. The battles themselves took place on a large chessboard patterned terrain area. It was very similar in layout to the total war games, i.e. large campaign map, autocomplete battles if you want etc (as a kid I remember autocompleting the battles seeming netting you a shitload more reward than doing them yourself). I dont think it had a particular licence, just fairly generic Greyhawk style wizards n dragons style units. Please help, because I remember it being great. Thanks

I only played the first game in the series, which was a Mortal Kombat-esque fighter, but I believe the second was that style of play, and that sounds like the same backstory.

Here's one for you oldies. It was a BBC game from the mid 80s. It was a single screen game where you were a little plane bombing buildings beneath you (each bomb would only remove a few floors of the building). The plane would fly across the screen and when it reached the edge, you'd reappear on the other side but be flying a little lower. The idea was that you'd have to destroy all the buildings before you got so low that you'd crash into them. Good luck! It's been driving me mad!

The BBC had 'Bomber Baron', which matches your description, but there would have been loads of versions I'm sure. 'Bomber' might be one as well. If that's not it, the VIC-20 had 'Blitz', so perhaps you can search on that as well? I think I typed one out of a magazine at some stage, too.

I just remembered a game from probably the nineties - It was a Star Wars game, and it required a special keyboard for it - I know because I had to use that keyboard if I wanted to play it, and not my regular keyboard. I also remember that one of the levels you played as Chewbacca - I think it was the 2nd - and the last one was you destroying the death star. I think. I mostly remember the keyboard, that most of it took place in space, but there was one ground level [that one with Chewbacca, which I could never for the life of me figure out what I was supposed to do] I don't actually want to play this ever again, but I just remembered it this morning and trying to find the name has been bugging me all day. Also note that most of the specific details might be wrong, I'm going off vague recollection of what was at least 10 years ago.

So I'm looking for an old game, but I have no idea at all what it's called.It was lets played here but I can't find that. It was an older game, from the 90s, 2d graphics, strategy type (4x?) game set in space. It was a dune knock-off type game. Had factions vying for control of the emperor and a patriarchate, like a byzantine empire in space. Thats all I can remember and I'd love to find it again.

The game I'm thinking of was a ps1 game I'm pretty sure. It was top down view adventure/action game kind of like Zelda. I think you were Hercules, but maybe not because the only ps1 Hercules game I can find is a sidescroller. Anyway you kind of rolled around ancient Greece and poo poo fighting minotaurs in his maze and I remember I got stuck in a part with amazon chicks. You could get money and spend it on poo poo, I remember you healed by buying gyros from some fat dude. I think it was 2 player. Graphics were kind of cartoony. Help!

There was this adventure game that came out free for the PC within the past 5 years. You played as two friends who went on an adventure through all these different settings, like a superhero world, an evil haunted house, an alien spaceship... I was recommended it off these forums, and I cannot for the life of me remember a name well enough to get to replay it, but I know it exists. It was very brightly colored, point-and-click adventure game. Like a Sam and Max, but with two people not unusual enough to be rememberable.

Can't remember the name of this game anywhere but I'm positive it existed. Mid 90's shareware game that you flew a plane around in first person, you could land the plane and get out on the ground. Point of the game was to destroy alien structures, if I'm remembering right they were inside these large forcefields that you had to fly the plane into in order to shoot it. And on the ground, the aliens were little black spheres with stick limbs poking out of them, you had a weapon but I don't think it was modeled on the screen, just put crosshairs over them and shoot.

I've asked about this in the past but I'm pretty sure it was another thread since I can't find any posts I made in this one. This was an old PC game I had on floppy discs that I borrowed from a friend of mine, in the early 90's (Pretty sure it was 1992 or 1993). The game was a top-down view similar to smash tv, and I believe the gameplay was similar. You played as a little man with a skull head and a cape (at least that's what it looked like to me) and basically ran around a room slashing enemies with your sword until they were all dead and you advanced to the next level. I could have sworn this game was called Mordor, or had the word Mordor in it, but searching for that doesn't reveal anything that looks similar, and I have no idea if it was in any way associated with LOTR.

I've been trying to remember a game I used to play on my family's old Tandy back in like 90-93. You flew a space ship and battled people in space. You could also land on planets and drive around in a tank like thing. I remember one planet reminded me of Hoth.

There was a thread about a driving game that came out and wasn't very good but has been fan patched to be awesome. I can't remember the name of the game or thread or anything. It was apparently made into a really impressive wide open driving experience where tons of vehicles could race one another. Anyone remember what it was?

This is a long shot since I'm pretty sure that it's never been translated into English but I'll ask anyway: The game in question is a Japanese freeware action-RPG I played quite a bit about 5 years ago or so, though I can't for the life of me remember what it was called. It had extremely high production values for a freeware game and looked almost commercial-quality compared to what was out at the time. It was entirely in 3D and seemed like it really wanted to be a MMO but was single-player. I vaguely remember the plot involved two warring countries hanging out in a newly-discovered ancient city or something that was a neutral zone while they explored it looking for...something, I don't remember. Though you were just some neutral guy looking for an old war buddy out for revenge or something. You only controlled one character but could have several other party members whose AI you could fine-tune, like FF12's Gambit system only much more granular. The game was very grindy, with a lot of farming enemies for rare parts to repair or hopefully upgrade your weapons or rings, which you used to cast magic. In addition to the story mode, there was a free mode where you could play as any of your companions (and I think this might have been the only way to level them up) Any ideas?
