Any chance this one is Microcosm? http://www.giantbomb.com/microcosm/61-17053/ Around 1993, one of the early CD titles. FMV-based, so not really 3D but not sprites either. The screenshots behind the link aren't from the PC release I think, except for the one to the right, midway down the page, which looks like the game I played.

From the looks of things this could be it. Thanks.

I kept looking up knights in the nightmare -lol- I have one more...this one is far more obscure. It was an old arcade game where you could pick between 3 characters. a Martial Artist in a loin cloth A Female Superhero or a Male Wrestler (I think?) where you went around the world and fought bosses some stages had enemies you had to fight through before you got to the boss one of the last stages was a pirate airship. The game also had tandem attacks where 2 characters could do a special move and a enhanced version would come out. any info?

Here's another game i want to know: This game was interesting, it had a lady in a bluedress and her hair was tied in a bun,her hair was black. The one thing i remember most though was that their was a weapon in it that looked like a wind up toy of a penquin. There was also a foot race with a strange beast that had a wolf head but a human body,it had 2 spikes as hands as well. it was very fast ran around a foutian.

I think I got the demo cd somewhere...

Well, there's a game with a guy in a blue robe who's hair is tied up sort of like a bun and one of the weapons is a wind-up penguin. I can't remember races around fountains with spike handed wolf head things though, google Little Big Adventure or Relentless.

This one was a vertical arcade shooter from mid-nineties to shortly after 2000. It had a fantasy theme and you could choose characters riding a dragon. One was a skeleton dragon rode by some necromancer, another was a standard knight with a shield. The order of levels would change, depending on the character you chose. When you shot enemies they would leave gold behind you could collect. Should be a high-profile game and not too difficult to find, yet I have not been successful so far. Thank you.

edit: It probably is Dragon Blaze. Come to think of it, Dimahoo levels don't change order. Also may be a few other inconsistencies. Haven't played it recently enough.

Ehrgeiz was a 3d fighting arcade game that was ported to the PS1. Cloud from FFVII was a special character and his super move was to call Meteor.

OK, this was for the original PlayStation/PSX, and while the name is the tip of my tongue I cannot remember its exact details.

The game was top down/isometric, and was action based along with collecting key cards and the like. You had basic weapons like a machine gun and rifle (fired 'upwards' with the triangle, 'down' with the X, etc), with one or two characters - one being a brown haired woman, the other a guy. I recall it being surprisingly violent for the time and having a lot of variety in the death animations for its enemies.

This is about as a generic as a description can get for games back then, but still. :v:

vvvv Close but that isn't it. The game was sprite-based rather than 'true' 3D. I should have mentioned that.

Well curse and dangit, I don't expect anyone to actually know what game I'm talking about, but here goes. I believe it must have been some kind of old indie game, we're talking early 2000s. As I recall, the gameplay consisted of dragging pixels or glowing dots of different colours around to fight the computer doing the same thing. In fact, it was kind of similar to this flash game: http://www.bubblebox.com/play/action/1801.htm

Except you basically held down the mouse button and this would attract the pixels or blocks to where you were pressing, and they'd "fight" the other coloured blocks. It had complicated stages and such and was 2d. I honestly don't remember anything about the game other than the actual gameplay, but it was definitely a windows game.

I am trying to find out the name of a game for one of my mates, his memories of it are pretty sketchy but would love any help if anyone has any idea!

"It is a point and click adventure I think released in the 1990s, You start off on a boat. The game is set in the present day, it isn't futuristic or set in the past or anything.

You can move round the island getting shells and fishing and what not, and then sell it. If you went out into the open sea in your boat, pirates came after you and gunned you down.

The plot is about some woman being kidnapped or something."

I used to have a game, a 16 colors platformer where you played a guy in red shirt and blue pants (...I think) who held a little wand, and if you held down Alt while walking, certain blocks would disolve beneath his feet. You could solve puzzles this way, but after a while the blocks would return. I can't remember if occupying the same space at that time caused your character to die, or just get stuck or pushed out of the way...

It might've been called someone's Castle? No enemies I think, just platforming and puzzle solving, and possibly the collecting of scrolls. It's been like 18 years since I played this game, but it bugs me that it's the only game I can remember playing and have no clue what the name is.

I used to know the name of this game but not anymore.
It was a lucasarts(?) educational PC game in which you played as two kids and rode around on the back of a giant flying snail answering questions and it had really funky prerendered 3D or something.

EDIT: Mortimer and the Riddles of the Medallion

Also, I used to have a game that may have been educational but I'm not certain, and all I know about it was it was a cartoony PC game involving the knights of the round table. There was some sort of Giant in the game, and i had (and still have) a toy that was based off of the giant from the game.

Also this is a real long shot, but I had, at one point, a demo disc type thing that was branded Chrysler and was some sort of 3D 'game' where you walked around and looked at different prerendered 3D chrysler cars like a point and click game.

This isn't an old game at all, but I absolutely cannot find anything on it.

Read about an RTS no more than 2 years ago (maybe 3) which was a bit like Supreme Commander except with a Steampunk setting. You have lots of tiny units and then each side has one absolutely enormous unit, like 50 times the size of the buildings.

I think (I think) you only controlled the large unit and indirectly controlled your smaller units as a result. I think. I swear it has a name like Godhead or something. I seem to remember a screenshot of this giant steampunk-y creature and the map was a giant ring of stone floating high in the sky.

I'm sure I didn't dream this.
