Early PS1 shooting game with dodgy graphics sounds a lot like Blasto to me.

So, this isn't so much remembering the name of a game based on a description, but... I'm going crazy attempting to identify which game this sound effect is from: It comes @ :50 in this song. I'm 99.9% sure it's an old arcade game, and it's a very popular one, I just can't connect the sound to a game without context.

There's so many things I can think of that loosely fit that description, hmm.. Was it a rails shooter? Or Were you running side to side like in Contra? Or what? sleepwalkers posted:So, this isn't so much remembering the name of a game based on a description, but...

Electronica has all kinds of blips and bloops that sound arcadey, and most of them are actually just made up. It could be a sample, but odds are it just sounds similar.

The DJ is attempting to get people to identify the "half-second video game sample" he put in it. I feel like :50 has to be it, the bubbly noise, since it seemed familiar, but without context I s'pose I could be wrong. It comes again at 1:05. I swear it's from a game and it's been driving me crazy for the last half-hour, but the closest I've come up with is Pac Man's fruit eating SFX. sleepwalkers fucked around with this message at 00:02 on Nov 5, 2013 |

As a young one I would play this game about a yellow egg on the fancy PC. It was a lot like Super Mario Bros gameplay wise, it had a map editor and I think I got it from some pc magazine for free. I played it around 2004. The graphics were pretty fancy for it's time. There was also a puzzle game I played a lot which I know I got from a pc magazine. You collected coloured keys to open doors of the same colour. You didn't ever fight, you just solved puzzles. It was a top down perspective and looked a bit like it was made in gamemaker. I played this about 2000. I'm sorry about the vague information, but It's all I got. UlfRacoon fucked around with this message at 00:37 on Nov 5, 2013 |

I've got a weird one; it's actually from this generation. Not sure what platforms it was on, but I *think* it was a download only game and so probably was on XBLA/PSN. It came out somewhere between 2006-2010. The title of the game was, I believe, the name of the main character. It was some kind of raunchy/humorous action game. The only reason I heard about it was because someone shittalked it in comparison to Bulletstorm, though I think it was more to do with the humor than the gameplay, so I don't know if the game is actually an FPS or anything like that. I remember having never heard of the game, but I didn't follow up on it to figure out what it was at the time so now I'm stuck not remembering anything about it.

If we're making comparisons to Bulletstorm it could be Painkiller, the joke game Duty Calls, NecroVisioN, the Painkiller ripoff Dreamkiller, or even Serious Sam. There's really not much to go off here.

Here's one I haven't played in forever. It was a super old computer game, I think it was DOS era, maybe Win95, but I'm also pretty sure it was on a Mac, so this was a pre-OSX game. You were a fish, and you had to like swim around and eat algae and fight other fish and survive. Eventually you'd like die or eat enough to reproduce or something and you'd go to the next level, but you could add mutations to your offspring. I remember there was an electric eel ability that seemed pretty cool, or like you could go faster or something? It was ages ago. I just remember being a fish in some mac game, and upgrading to have electricity powers. In retrospect it seems a whole lot like the first part of Spore. It was 2D though, and the whole game was just fish underwater. Makes me wanna play Oregon Trail and Kidpix. Also, jeeze this is a longshot, but does anybody know of some game/software for old macs that let kids like make their own stories, place characters on scenes and stuff? Kinda like 3D movie maker but without the 3D.

Speaking of educational games, does anyone remember one where you answered math/science/history questions in an effort move your hot air balloon around the world? It would've been in the same era as apple II games, but I don't think it was an MECC game.

Here's one I just thought about today. It was an old ps1 (I think) jrpg where the main character had a guitar/lute that talked and concealed a sword inside of it. p.s. The lute would not shut the gently caress up.

This was an indie pixel art game I played a while ago (maybe around the same time as Within A Deep Forest) where you were I think a wizard and flew around and could charge your spells by holding down the button then releasing. Gameplay was a mix of shooty stuff and puzzle platformy stuff.

I'm looking for a older game I played at a friend's place as a kid. It's probably from somewhere in the nineties, I think I played it in 97 or something but it might not have been new. It's a Point & Click adventure game and they had it on Mac. 2D sidescrolling. Pretty much all we can remember is that at some point in the game you were in a jungle jumping over acid or something, and we believe that walking to the left in said jungle would get you to a small house. We think it looks similar to Monkey Island and Broken Sword, but it's not Monkey Island and Broken Sword has the wrong environments. Main character is a man dressed in regular clothes, nothing spectacular like a wizard or whatever. Sorry for being vague but it's all we can remember, even while working together.

Might have asked this before, but I'm looking for a Win95-era game, which was an isometric game where you played as a pre-rendered CGI pyramid and had to deal with other pyramids (I think you shot them? Or bumped into them? I can't remember) on a chessboard-like field. I do remember some of the enemy types (pyramids that jumped around while flexing like gelatin, huge fat purple ones, I think fire ones).

I remember there was this terrible trailer for a game that was never released. I know it was during the Gamecube/PS2 era. The game had terrible graphics that were N64 quality at best. Most of the trailer was the guy shooting random horrible looking soldiers, but at the very end he is like fighting some terrible looking plant monster and the voice over is talking about how something is going to come out and EAT YOU. I can't remember the name of the game for the life of me. I thought it was called Survivor, but that brings up nothing for me.

Seeing a stream made me remember a game I played a long time ago. But I can't find a youtube of it anywhere. I'm pretty sure it is NES. But it could also have been SNES or Sega Genesis. The first level at least is a side scroller. The most distinguishing thing was that you could pick up keys (I think they were keys) and then spend them post-level to buy different guns that were stored in glass cases. This wasn't in a menu. I seem to remember the bullets being flashing blue and red, and it looking a lot like the side scrolling levels of Super C. It reminded me of a contra game, but when I look at those they don't match or have the key system. But I am not really familiar with those games either, so my mystery game could still end up being one for all I know.
