C64 fighter game with an overall Egyptian theme and I think one of the fights was against a guy with a cat (or maybe jackal/dog) head with sand and possibly a pyramid or two in the background. Edit: Yep, that's it, thanks! For some reason that title ended up in the handful I'd automatically skip over when looking because I thought I knew it as something else.

This sounds like the Egypt level from Renegade 3, but the game theme wasn't overall Egyptian. E: Fighting Warrior looks more likely. Plinth fucked around with this message at 23:13 on Jun 20, 2012 |

Looking for help with two games. First is a PS1 game. Science fiction, third person perspective. All I remember are these holograms that pop up and say "Nayzheer" when you interact with them. I think it had some kind of racing tube game too. Second one is harder. 90's computer game, friend had it. I remember reading this giant instruction manual at his house, first chapter had to do with clearing rats out of a cellar? It was a roleplaying game. I kinda remember him showing it to me, it was like Wizardry. In a maze and he was fighting this tree like monster, and when he hit it blood flew out.

This was a space combat shooter I got when my parents purchased a 486 computer in the mid 90's It was like Wing Commander, however it had its own set of characters, a linear campaign that was like 40-60 missions long. One of the missions had you fly to a strange space ship/alien, and it showed a cut scene of you getting sucked in followed by a message saying "Find out what happens by purchasing a mission pack" There were alot of ships in the game, one of the ships was designed to look like a Scorpion. edit: Bob Wins posted:Ok i will jump in on this one... it was a really old game from around the windows 98 era. I dont exactly remember much (i was more of a play outside kinda kid) but it was a space flight game akin to wing commander, but what wasnt those days. The main ship that was the games default looked like a spherical pod in the center with wings on either side that were painted to look like eagle/falcon wings. As a kid i remember my favorite ship looked like a scorpion (yes a space ship that looked like a scorpion). You would fly around and shoot down other ships and tractor beam your allies escape pods if they died, if you took lethal damage you could escape pod out and pray one of your allies tractor beamed you to safety. If you ended up dying or not being tractor beamed i remember it played some kind of gory cinematic where your escape pods atmosphere leaked into space. This was definitely the game, but I still can't find the name or anything about it online. I remember the scorpion ship too, it was one of the best ships in the game because it was so fast and manueverable. I can remember the orange laser beams it shot from it stingers. You could capture enemy ships by using the tractor beam when they were disabled ships to use them in the campaign, I also remember the cut scene he speaks of.

Back in the early 2000's I played an RTS similar to Empire Earth but it had a distinct Asian (Chinese?) theme as in it was based upon Chinese mythology, history, etc. I don't really remember much else other than that but hopefully someone has more of an idea what I'm talking about!

I remember that, I got it free with a 'free games magazine' (CD Power) sometime in the mid to lateish 90s. It was really easy and I only played it once and ploughed through it. I still have the disk somewhere. I enjoyed it but it was literally zero challenge.

Checked out Sentient on Youtube and it wasn't it, but the sidebar videos had Fade to Black which is the game I'm thinking of. So thanks for pointing me in the right direction. And I think the RPG I was looking for is prolly Daggerfall, which I've shamefully never played. But the Ultima tip helped out too, so thanks Joe Man.

I'm 99% positive that it was a one-on-one fighting game like SF or MK, but there's always the slim possibility that it was a side-scrolling action game. But I know for a fact that it was a 2D perspective. Thanks though!

The SNES isn't 17 years old, is it?  drat, I got old all of a sudden.Content: I vaguely remember an old PC space trading and combat game. It had a top down 2d environment, and the only thing I vaguely remember is getting a one-use green goop item early on in the game which let you travel to a distant location in a very short time. The name of the item had something to do with reactor coating.

One of the characters loosely fits the description, don't think he had any whirlwind attacks though.

So this was back in the early 2000s or late 90s. It was an adventure game, I think. I also remember it centered around a junkyard or scrap yard. All I can remember is a puzzle that involved a tuning fork. Anything? EDIT: I kind of had a cartoony art style to it, IIRC.

Arcade game from the early/mid-90s. It was an "on rails" space combat game with shaded (but probably not textured) 3D graphics. The version I played had a sit-down cabinet. Gameplay consisted of flying over and around huge capital ships, fending off enemy fighters, knocking out gun emplacements, etc. You'd loop back round for several passes of the same ships. Frame rates were nice and smooth and the game generally felt very slick, if a little short-lived. May have even been a laserdisc-based game, but it didn't contain any hokey "live action" nonsense, just well-rendered Tron-esque 3D graphics.

Ok, so heregoes. When I was a kid, my dad used to play this first person shooter-type game where you played this spaceship, and you flew around on planets picking up powerups and different guns and stuff. One of which was like the BFG-9000 or something. And you would fly into these pyramids and fight bosses that looked like giant snakes. I remember a kind of scenic desert level. The BFG gun wasn't actually a gun, but a missle, and it exploded and killed every enemy around you. I'm sure it was 3-D... but I can't think of the name at all.

It definitely isn't the Descent games, I thought of those at first too but the only part that really matches is the BFG Missile (which in this case would be Earthshaker Missiles). There isn't really anything scenic or snakey about them.

Terminal Velocity! Of course! I knew it wasn't the Descent Games. He played those too, and I loved the hell out of them, but this is definitely it. The planet selection screen triggered a Vietnam flashback of fun. Thanks, guys!

It had sort of adventure game elements where you could take control of various types of robots to accomplish tasks. It also had an aerial shooter type thing going on where you would build a ship out of scrap parts then fight against other ships.
