No, it definitely wasn't anything to do with the Terminator - looking at footage of the game you mention I can see the resemblance, but it certainly isn't that. It was definitely an "original" IP.

If it was Master System, the game is more focused on punching but it sounds a lot like Cyborg Hunter: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=unesVXmYuI8 Edit sorry if it's a scrolling shooters like Bodycount, check out Dynamite Dukes as well as Alien Storm (technically a sidescroller but with periodic shooter levels).

Eh, you needed at least 16MB to be able to run Windows 95 satisfactorily, never mind the processor speed in the absence of a 3D accelerator card. My money's still on Rebel Assault.

Im trying to remember the name of a game for windows 95 or 98. I could have sworn it was called "Immortal Wombat" or something similar but any Google searches I could think of yield no results. It was a platformer where you played as the titular wombat (or maybe some other animal?). It was cartooney but dark, and I think you carried some kind of bo-staff or something. I'd be super surprised and grateful if anyone could tell me the name.

I received a Playstation 1 game from a friend of mine back in the day, it was an isometric action game. I think it was a Scifi setting, very dark and a lot of gore. Any ideas? Reminded me of Fallout, from having watched my dad play it.

This is a really far out request, there was this really strange PC FPS by either a Japanese or Korean developer, it was commercially released though, it was survival horror. It wasn't WhiteDay, it was way more surreal and occult looking (and with less graphically quality)

poptart_fairy posted:There was a scrolling on-rails shooter for the old Master System console - you played a green skinned cyborg dude and would shoot more dudes with your gun. Its first level was set in a junkyard and you'd be fighting robots, ending with two giant ED-209 style bosses. The level after that had you fighting a giant mechanical head, etc etc. The music is stuck in my head but I cannot for the life of me remember what it was called. I think this might be Assault City.

Hey guys, I'm trying to find a game based on this song... https://soundcloud.com/achtane/what-game-is-this-frommmmmm I heard it in episode 88 of the Retronauts podcast, but there doesn't seem to be info anywhere on what music they use throughout the shows. The episode was about old Data East games, though, so that's something to go on.

All I remember about this game is it had a riddle or koan that ended with something like "He stabbed the man's eyes out with red-hot knives". It was probably a PC game. How's that for vague?!

Trying to remember an early 90's CD-ROM PC game. Mars-themed, "Mars" somewhere in the title. I think it was first-person graphical adventure type.

PC game from around 2000. It was a tank battle royal game with power ups/special weapon pickups, deformable terrain, the tanks were very shiny (think one of them was "the shadow tank" and looked like the shadows from Babylon 5). I also think there was an announcer who would say things like "Player 1 got the nuke". I also, for some reason, seem to remember that it was programmed by one guy who was pretty young and possibly died not long after it came out from cancer or something, but I might have that mixed up with something else.

I'm trying to remember two Sega Saturn games: one I barely remember, but it wasn't really a game per se, it was more like an interactable story or something? The animation style kind of reminded me of Freakazoid or Animaniacs or something but I'm pretty sure you were a pizza guy but you were definitely in some sort of haunted castle. Pretty early on there's a big atrium with a chandelier that I'm almost positive falls down. The second one was a FPS, you played a robot on a space ship and there was a bunch of weapon pickups. Everything was really dark and the draw distance was pretty poo poo. I know this isn't a lot to work with.

PC futuristic racing game around 2000 I'm guessing, needed a 3D card. It had long tracks with no edges, and your cars were fast and had slightly slide-y, which made the learning curve kind of steep. The first track was a highway at night kind of level, and I usually picked a green or green/white car probably because it was the easiest to manage. I think it may have been a weapon-free game also. I keep thinking it was called MegaRace, but I don't think that's right(that's the older racing game). Also, the still unsolved one for me is a typing game from 1990-1991 for an Apple something or other(the one with Deluxe Paint II) where after finishing a lesson, you would do a typing test, after which a troll or gnome would lower a bridge to let you pass.

They were out for PC as well as the playstation. That aside, there's a bunch of racing games in the hover/slide-y style that all came out around 2000 (largely thanks to Wipeout, really). Looking through Mobygames, I can see Freeride Thrash, Killer Loop and Megarace 3, the latter which I didn't even know existed.

Nah, not wipeout; it was PC only and the slide-y bit was more how it played vs how it was advertised. All the cars were still cars, what with wheels and all. E: found it on MobyGames(didn't know you could search it like you mentioned  ); 1998 - Dethkarz, and it did have weapons. It was really difficult, but rewarding once you got the hang of it.

It was a very strange rpg I saw videos on youtube of, I think it was an independent JRPG type game? Looked like it was in a dream but with creepy text and there would be this white face that would show up at different parts. I can't even remember if it was an RPG or not, I remember there was a lot of speculation about it though.

My Sega Saturn was my first encounter with gaming (I got it for Christmas one year, which is kinda funny considering how it launched) and I was only 8 so I was just...very bad at these things. Me and my sister got stuck in Gex for what seemed like hours because we could not figure out how to climb walls.

I have very little to go on for the game that has been bugging me forever. It was available in the arcade around 86-88 and I used to play it at the youth center in Andersen Airforce base (Guam). What little I can remember is the main character had techno'ish armor and could lose the armor. And the game moved left to right, but when you got to the boss the character came in on the right and the boss was on the left. Now the details I can actually remember are mostly of the boss, it was a weird manticore type (statue maybe) thing with multiple heads. If I could just see a screen shot or video of the game I'd recognize it pretty fast. But I don't think I ever actually knew the name. I have very little hope that someone remembers this, but it's worth a shot.
