That could actually be Modern Warfare 2 which had some missions near the start where you're driving through town in a convoy and get attacked by guys with RPGs and end up having to fight your way to an evac point through buildings, one of which used to be a school (but was apparently abandoned aside from the bad guys).

It might also be Delta Force: Black Hawk Down. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2TVBcoWzvMM

Maybe, but I'm almost certain it was cooperative. Did the MW games have coop campaigns?

Yeah, that's about the right time too, MW is too modern. Does it have PC coop? Whether by mod or other means.

I think the first mission of Conflict: Desert Storm II had you getting ambushed in a humvee convoy, and that was co-op.

I've been obsessing for a week about a game from my childhood. It was on ps1. A combat racing game. Top down. It had a very cartoony art-style and some characters included a fish-out-of-water in a submarine vehicle, a cowboy dude, and levels included Christmas/snow, underwater, desert, undead/horror. The aim was to get far enough ahead of your opponents that they fell off the screen. Not micro machines. If anyone has any idea, I'd live to get over this fit of asperger's

I have vague memories of two PC games from my childhood. Can't figure out what either of them are. One is from circa 1998-1999. I believe it was some sort of cop game for the PC, was played with a joystick, and you flew some sort of futuristic helicopter. The second one is a bit more difficult. It's an edutainment title that we played in elementary school. The main gist of it was various puzzle maps of geography. They'd give you an online of the US, for instance, and you had to rotate the various states and plop them in their correct places.

I'm looking for the name of a DOS fighting game. I got it on one of those CDs that you got with new hardware that had dozens of games, so I'm not sure when it came out. The unique thing about it was that you could customize what your character's moves were from a big list. Aside from that, it may have been a Kung-Fu game, it was pretty terrible to play, and the developer or publisher's logo was something like a wooden cart/covered wagon/horse-drawn carriage and either ended in "soft" or "softworks".

I'm thinking of a game that's a pretty lo-fi pixel style platformer. The defining feature is that there are a ton of different monster & enemy types, and every time you defeat one, you can then play as that type of enemy. Fantasy themed; dwarfs, wizards, tons of monsters., etc. It has a largely explorational feel to it. I kind of think it had a really zoomed out field of view and maybe you were exploring a huge cavern, or something along those lines. I think it was a pretty recent game, came out in the last few years, and I'm almost certain it was free, too. I also believe that it was partially made to showcase some kind of sprite package for indie games. Anyone know what this might be?

I'm trying to find one of those "running" Flash games. This specific one had a wizard, I think you have a fire spell, and ice spell, and something else (teleport?). It was just one of those simple reaction time games, use <x> spell when you see <y> object, the game gets faster and faster, and eventually you bite it. It was a pretty standard game but I can't find it anymore.

Watching the Olympics for the last week has reminded me of an DOS old game I used to play when I was a kid. It was a track and field game that I think was partly ascii-based. This would have been 1985 at the latest. I thought it was one of the Friendlyware packages, but I can't find any screen shots that look right. It was definitely not Epyx's Summer Games. Sound familiar to anyone?

I'm trying to find evidence of this old BUILD engine tech demo-ish game that was made by Monolith and came from some type of demo CD-rom thing you got from a computer gaming magazine As far as I can remember it was released some time around 1995, before they actually made a game, and it took place on some sort of mars space station, and you could walk around exploring the space station and seeing all the neat little things the BUILD engine was capable of

HoldYourFire posted:Was it Daley Thompson's Decathlon? No, but you got me pointed in the right direction. It was actually Microsoft Decathlon. I remember there being a decathlon event, but I didn't remember it being the central focus of the game. You must have been able to do the events individually too, because I mostly remember doing shot put and discus.

Ok, this was a mid-90s edutainment game. It was a platformer in a sort of fantasy/medieval setting, where the player character was a knight. Every now and then you'd reach a flag and had to answer a question to progress. I think they may have been spelling-related, but really can't remember. Mostly I remember the platforming, the sweet-rear end soundtrack and having to jump over a dragon's fireballs. I think maybe I first played it on a CD-ROM Today or something similar, but really it could have been from anywhere. You guys did me proud with Gizmos and Gadgets a year or so back, I hope you can get this one too!

I called my mom (who ran the computer lab at the time) and she thinks that was called Bible quest. So maybe Spelling Quest or something?

I was wondering if anyone can help me with finding a manual for an old MS-DOS version of Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure. I managed to find the game and get it to run in DOS-Box but it requires the time codes from the manual in order to play the game which I can't seem to find online. Does anyone know a good resource to find this? My googling has yielded no results. Thanks in advance. Edit: Nevermind. I think I found it. It's called the Circuits of Time.

This game was on the Sega Genesis, I last played it at age 7 and it was only for a short time. Sorry for the  description.The first level you moved pretty slowly through a forest and you had a sword, the first boss was a machine that sat in the middle of the screen and engulfed the right and left sides of the screen in flames/explosions, in alternating order. I think the third or fourth level was very dark and there were drops of blue water coming out of the ceiling that could hurt you. There were also pools of the same blue water that, if you fell into them, would cause death. I think the boss was some kind of giant dinosaur. The fifth or so level you had to fight several bosses or tough enemies and I never really made it past that. This has driven me crazy forever.

Looking for a game that I bought at Ross on their clarence shelves when I was in middle school. The game came with a book ("novel"). It was an RPG with tons and tons of bugs, and the book itself was pretty lovely too. It did have some sort of charm and I've found myself feeling nostalgic over it the last few days. The book and game had all your typical RPG elements, but I member the game also having some sort of guild system even though it was single player (don't remember if there was a multilayer option, if there was it would have probably been LAN based or something). Does anyone remember this? I keep thinking it was called "Shattered Earth" but all Google searches for that don't come up with anything close to what I'm talking about so I might be way off the mark.

I have two, I think maybe a little difficult: A game that came packaged with our Compaq OS (the OS, IIRC, had tabbed browsing) around 1996 or 1997, probably a point-and-click educational adventure that had a section in the jungle, or was set in the jungle entirely. I seem to remember a toucan. It wasn't Hugo III. A simple puzzle game, probably also from about 1996-7, that was developed in Iceland and had a map of Iceland as one of the puzzles.
