Side on "jump around platform game" 1 or 2 players You traveled around the world sucking up ghosts/monsters with a big vaccume cleaner you wore on your back, releasing the fire button would fire them back across the screen to bump into and kill other monsters. If you held the sucked up monsters to long your vaccume would explode! Has the same look to it as the Japanese game "Pang" its possible the charactors are meant to be the same guys. You can star where ever in the world you want too and there are boss stages every now and then

I know this is a very long shot, but I'm looking for an old Commodore 64 game involving an isometric 3D checkerboard full of traps. Dangers included bombs and giant boots (or feet?) trying to crush you. I think these were shown on the cover of the game and my sister believes it may also have featured some kind of witch. Any suggestion would be very welcome!

This is a longshot but I remember renting an NES game way back when that had a first person view like in shadowgate, but may have had a play style more like Eye of the Beholder. I remember getting a short way into the game every time and happening upon a fall of brown rocks and a little waterfall and pool area and getting stuck. If I recall coorectly, it was because every time you checked out the water some kind of fairies or will o wisps came out and kicked my rear end. My memory is probably faulty as hell, but I've been trying to remember this game for something like 15 years now.

There was a game that came bundled with our turn-of-the-millenium PC. It was in glorious hardware-accelerated 3d. The gist was that you were defending a base from an alien attack. You'd transition from turret-gunning to hover-car driving to airship-piloting as the game progressed. I seem to remember that the one constant between it all was your home base. Its "health" carried across all the different styles of play, and once it reached zero the game was over no matter what you were doing. I could swear the game was called "Rage" or "Fury" or something similar, which makes googling for it pretty difficult. It definitely wasn't the Battlezone remake from around that time. EDIT: I'm pretty sure it was actually from the late 90s, because I remember playing Motocross Madness on the same PC, and youtube tells me that came out in '98. microwave casserole fucked around with this message at 23:23 on Mar 12, 2012 |

Neither of those fit, though the SNES version of EotB seems the closest match so far. It's entirely possible that I'm mixing two different games up or something. The only thing I clearly remember are some fairy/wispy things continually murdering my rear end regardless of what I tried to do to them.

My only real memory of Incoming was that it had some ridiculous techno version of "Old McDonald had a farm" as one of the audio tracks on the CD. Wonder if that exists anywhere on Youtube nowadays... Edit: Hahahaha, yes it does.

I seem to recall this one Zelda clone where you played as Thor, and the villain was Loki. You threw your hammer around and collected apples, including golden ones, and it came on one of those weird CDs of like 100 DOS games. What was it?

I don't know if this game even exists or not but I recall playing it on the NES. I think it's a single-screen arcade style game like Popeye or Donkey Kong. You either play as mice escaping a cat or as the cat trying to catch the mice. Balloons might have been involved. It was also pretty tough. There was also another cat game that was a sidescroller and you main weapon was a gun with a boxing glove. It had some pretty neat bosses like an indian that would do a rain dance and blow you off the stage.

ya mappyland or the original arcade mappy. I've been trying to find the name of a game for awhile. It was based on norse mythology I think. A survival game where at night you would place bungee stick traps and pray that a ferret didn't kill you in your sleep. I had originally read about it here at SA

Hello thread! I'm trying to remember this 3D first-person (I believe) tank/robot battle arcade game from the early/mid 90s. It was very colorful, you could play against another person I think (or maybe just the CPU), and I want to say you could jump. I think it may have been a full fancy sit-down cabinet, but I'm nearly certain it had two joysticks to control movement. The tanks/robots were bright green and may have had something to do with frogs? Or maybe I'm crazy?? I used to confuse it with Jumping Flash! for some reason that escapes me. I can tell you it's not Battlezone and it's not Virtual On, but that's about all I've got. Any help is appreciated

Ok this one is kind of strange. This was an ancient PC game and I think I might have only had the demo version. Anyway the game was about designing and fighting dragons. You could change their body plan and tweak all the variables associated with how they fought. For instance you could give them a long neck and make them sweep their head back and forth to make sure they could always track their opponent but the neck was extra vulnerable to the other dragon's fire. This was all done with kind of grainy topdown 2d. You didn't actually have any control once the fight started. I think my best design was a two legged dragon with a squat body that hopped left and right while shooting long range but low damage fireballs. Any ideas? 7c Nickel fucked around with this message at 22:58 on Mar 30, 2012 |

Nope, I actually don't think it was presented with any fantasy trappings. Just straight top down fire breathing lizards fighting each other.

A Classy Ghost posted:This is probably Pyrosaurus.  YES! Thank you. In the back of my mind I kept thinking that they were maybe supposed to be dinosaurs, but I kept dismissing that because they definitely breathed fire. Of course the answer is they were Pyrosaurs.

Unfortunately I don't have a lot to go on with this one. It's an early RTS that I played on Win95 a while ago (and it probably came out before or not long after 1995). It was futuristic and set on far away planets. I don't think it actually had humans in it but one of the units were humanoids. I distinctly remember blue being a predominate unit color while the terrain was barren and craggy with crystals and ore. The units were big, bright, and colorful. It basically looked like Starcraft rendered in Warcraft 2's engine.
