It's not Ghost Trick but it might be Time Hollow. I played that a while ago and it was quite good, but I hope it's not what I'm thinking of. Not sure why I am thinking a JRPG.

So I know this is a crazy longshot as I remember almost nothing about the game, but back in the day my family's friend from Denmark that we hosted for a year would send me floppy disks, and then cd's, with all sorts of crazy shareware games on them. One of them took place in different garden levels, all sorts of flowers, the player might have been a robot(?), and you went through the different levels trying to stay alive. I don't even remember if I had fun with it or what, but what game it was has been bugging me for a long time. After quite a few attempts to google it a while back I gave up on ever figuring out what exactly it was. Edit: One other one, I only remember ever playing it on my dads unix work computer, it was a 2d space shooter where you flew around and shot missiles out. Was pretty basic but it was really fun. You had to shoot at the corner/connections of these structures in space to destroy them, and they shot back at you. Fuck You And Diebold fucked around with this message at 06:19 on May 26, 2011 |

Hmm, neither of those. It was top-down not side scrolling. IIRC everything was shaped in a square-blocky type way, made it easier to form the mazes I guess.

This is a long shot but it's killing me that I can't think of this. This was a really really old kind of weird PC game where you started out on this sort of flying ship. I remember looking out and seeing clouds flying by, etc. It was a first person game and when I played it when I was like 8 or 9 I couldn't even figure out how to do anything and gave up in frustration. It started with an 'I' I think, like 'Imagination _____' or 'Illusion _______' and I think it had the word 'man' in the title. Also get the feeling the word 'wander' might have been in it. Anyway, thanks to anyone who has any guesses.

'Journey' is not dissimilar to 'wander', it's in a first person perspective, and I think in the original you might start out on an alien ship.

I've been looking for this game for years, but never had any luck. It's a dos based game I had a demo of years and years ago. It's a side-scrolling platformer where you play a muscular barbarian style guy with a big sword. The key feature I remember was that at the start of the level you could choose to start going left or right. I only had the demo, but the 1 level I played had a winter theme with no raised platforms - just ice covered ponds you had to jump and monsters you had to fight. The graphics were great for the time... but I don't remember anything else  can anyone help?

It was late 80's early 90's - around the same time as gods (which was another awesome game). I had the demo off those 3.5" disks from one of those PC Format style magazines. From my recollections the game was poorly distributed and I get the feeling the only way someone will know it is if they've played it themselves.

I'm looking for an online game, a 2d space shooter where you could build your ship out of ships you destroy. I think it had 'Captain' in the title. Like, you could destroy a ship, then drag the bits to attach them to your ship, and there were guns, armor, and boosters.

A platformer on the original Playstation. You played as a kid who lost his dog and had to look for him on this hosed up alien planet covered in shadow gargoyle things that died if you lured them into sunshine. I remember it scaring the poo poo out of me at the beginning when you lose your gun and have to make like Abe and run from everything until you got fireball powers from a friendly alien. I also remember a demo I played where you were a diver with one of those rudder things that pull you along, except this one had nets and machine guns. The demo ended when you fight a massive Eel to get into a shipwreck. This game was also on the Playstation. Anyone know either of these?

I had a demo disc for the PS One and my brother and I used to play one particular game on it all the time. It was set in an arena and you had to choose your character and then fight. Each character had different moves. The only two I remember are one who had loads of saw blades, could set little saw blade traps and protect himself with saw blades, and another character that was a lizard thing and could make little baby lizard things and have them fight as well. It wasn't a fighter such as Tekken, it was top down, and the closest thing I can think of it being like would be League of Legends or Heroes of Newerth nowadays. Any ideas?

For years I've been trying to remember the name of a 2D side-scrolling flight game from the 90's for PC. From what I remember you could choose from a large range of planes or helicopters and there would be varying missions where you had to blow up some base or rescue people or put out a fire maybe. It's similar to Wings of Fury or Flying Ace but as for more specifics I can't remember. Any help would be amazing based on these sketchy details. I just remember the game being amazing. Oh and you controlled the planes just using the arrow keys and the space bar I think (I could be wrong). edit: Just remembered that you always start on a runway, there were a few different designs for them aswell.

I didn't even know this thread existed, but for the past several years, there have been two games that I've been frantically attempting to revisit, but I've been unable to find any info on them - any help would be awesome: a) Arcade game (from the early-mid 90s): All I remember about this one was that you played a guy (I think dressed in red) who had a ring on his costume - the graphics were very cartoony, but I remember something about a professor, and all these ooze creatures that you had to take out by shooting (rings?) at them. Basically a 2d platformer, with, if memory serves, pretty good graphics for those days. b) NES game : I once rented a game from a local stored, which was a puzzle game, although it had a 2d platformer perspective, and it involved boxes, and stacking boxes to be able to reach a goal - memory is VERY hazy on this one unfortunately Any ideas?

Oh yeah I remember another title, back from the mid-90s, on PC. It was a sidescroller adventure title. I seem to remember your character being a native american in the wilderness, with a lot of snow around you. I think at one point you needed to get by a wolf to proceed to the next screen. Not very combat heavy, I don't think, but I only remember watching my friend play it on his computer. Graphics were quite nice, or at least I thought so at the time. Good detail.

For about 15 years my two friends and I have been trying to figure out this particular game that we played once at our old baby sitters house. We have practically given up all hope thinking it's been too long and our memories have distorted it too much. The game had to have been for the Sega Genesis since it was the only system any of us owned. It was an RPG with turn-based combat. You started in some kind of town and it was a side-scroller. The only thing we remember was a guy blocking a stone well, saying we couldn't enter for some reason. Then we recall there being some kind of dungeon (whether this was down the well or not we are unsure) but the game turned top-down and you fought skeletons. We have looked at so many different RPGs for the Sega Genesis trying to find this and can't find anything that we recognize. I'm starting to think we just imagined it.

Trying to remember the name of a PS1/PS2 game. I believe it was monster rancher. However I'm not 100% sure. Basically. You were in a city, you had a tower you would go into, you would fight with a monster, level up your monster, goto the next floor, monsters would be harder, etc. I remember that you could come out and buy "upgrades" for the city. Like the further you went in the tower, the nicer you could make the town. I'm having a hell of a time remember much past that though.

Text adventure with static graphics, amiga-era, you play a guy who falls asleep and enters a dream world where you er... look, you have to use a toothbrush as a key and at the end you shoot satan with a water pistol. Oh and there was a big set piece in the middle where you had to trudge around a giant office building getting form A4-BX9 from officer A4-C30 to give to officer B2-C16 so that he'd give you form... well, you get the idea.

This one is pretty obscure I'm sure, but it's been bothering me for a while. It was played on an Amstrad PC-1512 (so it's likely a really old DOS game); you took the role of a robotic drone, and from a top-down perspective you had to push drums of coolant into chutes to prevent an overload of some sort. I guess it was sort of a sokoban-style puzzle game, though I can't recall much else aside from the fact that you could choose from one or two different robots and I think there was one that looked vaguely "dog-house" shaped. I was extremely young, so I apologise for the vague descriptions.

God drat that is close to my memory of the game (it was 20 odd years ago with lots of hallucinogens used in between) - but the combat is identical, with a few different moves, and difficult opponents who required different approaches - even down to the way he sticks his legs out in front when making a jump, and his spinning super attack. But in the game I played I specifically remember the weapon being a sword, and the graphics being 8 bit. After reading the wikipedia entry for Barbarian II it seems Barbarian III was in development for some time before being canned after an acquisition - It must have been a preview version I am recalling playing then, which never ended up getting released On the bright side it seems there's a community remake of the original barbarian: http://www.brothersoft.com/games/barbarian.html
