the posted:I remember some PC game in the early 90s with a vaguely cyberpunk theme about "jacking in" or whatever. It was just a flying game where you'd fly down these tunnels very similar to the ending of Star Wars. Had some crappy intro movie with a fat guy jacking in and online. Very forgettable game. Anyone? It wasn't Descent. Is it Interphase - had a digitized intro sequence showing you 'jacking in' - i.e. a guy in a motorcycle helmet. Then it was all 3d cyberspace stuff with you picking up keys, destroying locks and circumventing security measures so your agent could infiltrate the building. The game really deserves to be redone for the current generation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrfm85F6foA

I watched a friend play a game around the mid-90s (probably 1998 at the latest), may have been SNES but he had all the systems - even the unpopular ones. I remember watching him explore sand dunes from a far out POV, and he had a team of 4 or 5 members. I think the battle screen had a setup sort of like Earthbound with the player names and stats on a rectangle at the bottom of the screen. The characters looked more like a Western comic book than the JRPGS I was used to. I wish I could remember more, but it was a looong time ago and I was just a little kid. It's been bugging me for years! Any guesses?

I dunno, Wild ARMs is super JRPG in appearance. For some reason, Drakkhen was the first thing to come to mind for me.

It was an educational PC game. The principle protagonist was a guy in a thick wooly jumper, sneakers, glasses and a fedora, with no visible facial features. Mainly logic puzzles.

This could be any of a number of adventure games in the Super Solver series by The Adventure Company. The one that most purely focused on logic was Challenge of the Ancient Empies- although you might also be thinking of Midnight Rescue, which had a deduction puzzle at the core of each run.

The White Dragon posted:I dunno, Wild ARMs is super JRPG in appearance. For some reason, Drakkhen was the first thing to come to mind for me. Yeah, this is much closer! The characters look pretty close to what I remember, but I distinctly recall the world not being very colorful or magical - not so D&D, more like deserts and warriors.

Thanks for the help, everyone - I finally figured it out! It was Phantasy Star 4 for the Genesis. I had a hard time because I saw what seems to be a non-representative part of the game (namely, the desert). This Youtube review shows the part I was thinking of: http://youtu.be/a_-b9b6GIBQ?t=1m51s

PC driving game from late 80s/early 90s. The objective was to drive across the states although I don't remember from which end to the other. I can't remember if it was first person or third but I'm leaning on first considering the crappy CGA graphics (I remember lots of blues and reds) and it's a DOS game that I owned on my Windows 3.1 computer. If you drove over the speed limit too long you would be ticketed by invisible police? The one thing I concretely remember is that I believe it was a product placement game for a certain car manufacturer. It was definitely someone who made sports cars and convertibles and you could upgrade your car using money you earned over time. When you won you got a crappy cutscene that kind of reminded me of winning Outrun.

Two games that have been bugging me for a while: 1. An NES platformer in which you control a robot or high-tech armor guy and the main mechanic revolved around reversing gravity so you walk along the ceiling. 2. This one's a bit more vague since I've only ever watched some one play it. PC adventure game from the mid-late 90s(?)with a top down view and a realistic style. I specifically remember one puzzle in which you had to trick a genie into entering a bottle and then cork it to trap him. Maybe had a sort of arabian kind of theme?

Weirdly enough, I was thinking Baldur's Gate 2, and it has that "realistic 90s graphics" look to it. Isn't there a quest in the first town that involves tricking a genie?

This was an old PC game, isometric or VERY early 3d graphics, you drive around in a boat and shoot at vietcong guys as navy seals. I seem to remember being able to choose a loadout for my seals and run around and do stuff as them.

There's this one game I remember from about 10 or 15 years ago. It was an RPG set in some kind of medieval setting, with a background setting that was about evil mist popping up everywhere and eating people. I don't remember any more, I couldn't figure out the controls and never got past the courtyard where you start in.

Anything else to go on? First thing that comes to find is Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles which was about a poison mist engulfing the world.

About 15 years ago I played this RPG/Adventure game at a friends place but I haven't been able to find it since. I don't remember much but it had a city view screen of some caves where tiger people or at least animal people lived, there was also a sideview combat minigame that looks a lot like Tekken where you could jump, cast spells and attack etc. It is very reminiscent of Albion and Ringworld in the art style, which are two games I confused it with when I tried finding it some years ago but it's not either of those.

An light hearted horror adventure game from the mid nineties. Very similar to The 7th Guest only the graphics had a cartoony, almost claymation kind of look to them. The art style was reminiscent of stuff like Nightmare Before Christmas or Edward Gorey's art.

Nightmare Ned is an adventure game disguised as a platformer with a kind of Tim Burton-y art style and weird 3D clay style backdrops.

Already a bunch of suggestions, but Realms of the Haunting was a doom clone horror game with 7th Guest style cinematics for plot progression.
