Oh man, nope, although that sounded amazing. This was on a home console (can't remember which one - 360, PS2, 3, or Wii). I thought for a moment that it might have been No More Heroes due to the weirdo humor sense, but I don't think that was it either.

Shadow Hearts 2 has a wrestler named Joachim who also has a butterfly superhero/luchador type costume, Rhythm Heaven has a set of dancing shrimp and a wrestler... but I'm not really coming up with any games that combine muscular men and shrimp and abalone. Sorry!  I'll keep thinking about it.

For a lot of my childhood I used to play games/demos from the shareware/freeware disks off Mac magazines that my granny had been collecting for years, so this could be from anywhere between 1994 and 2001ish. I think it was a demo for a full game but it could have also been a free Doom or Duke 3D mod or something as far as I know, but it was an FPS set in the US Capitol (It could have also been some government offices though, but I think I remember the Capitol being on the main menu or demo disk box) and I assume it had been taken over by terrorists? Things that stick out for me for some reason are that there were American flag stands all over the place (Either side of doors and stuff) that you could push around and that there was a bit where you walked near a big row of windows and there was a helicopter fly-by sound effect but no actual helicopter.

I just knew it existed, and since he said it might have been a Duke mod so I threw it out there. There's an LP of it on Baldurk's site, so at least he's got video to look at.

I remember playing a text adventure for Amiga growing up. I think it had a more modern setting than fantasy. You could find weapons like swords and guns, there were other characters that you could maybe kill? There was a VERBOSE command. You got points for some things? Its very little information and I haven't been able to figure out what is was for years and years.

I don't know what it is, but I'm sure you'll find it by peeking through either of these lists, as there aren't that many games on the Amiga, relatively speaking: http://www.lemonamiga.com/games/list.php?list_genre=Adventure&list_sub_genre=Graphics/Text http://www.lemonamiga.com/games/list.php?list_genre=Adventure&list_sub_genre=Text%20only

I'm trying to find an Amiga game I played as a kid. It was a vaguely horror themed platformer where you played a kid (I think you could choose from 3, but I might be mistaken). The first level was a haunted house with a flooded basement. A later level was Egyptian themed and there was a part where pyramids fell on you. I think the kid had a knife or a yo yo or something you could kill enemies with.

I'm trying to imagine the latter and just can't.

I remember a game from probably 15-20 years ago. Can't remember if it was Amiga or early pc game but it was like a air hockey or similar game set in a bar or something. The opponents were all cartoonesque images as the backdrop of the table and had different styles of playing. I distinctly remember one really small guy with a cigarette that had the play style really fast and no bounce shots. Probably doesn't help much.

I vaguely remember a late eighties/early nineties PC game that had a kind of isometric viewpoint and you were a diver in an old-fashioned deep sea diving suit. Kind of a puzzle game, maybe secretly an educational game. Lots of jumping puzzles.

I played a point and click game in Borders around the year 1995. Seemed to be aimed at kids with somewhat of a black and white aesthetic with the characters faces being vibrant shades of green, yellow and pink. The main character, a child with black hair and a backwards ball cap was trying to guess the password to enter a building. A missing dog may have been involved.

I'm trying to remember one of the first computer games I ever played. I can remember some details vividly, but sadly none of the names of anything. It was an edutainment game on the PC, and this would have been around 1990-1992 when I played it, though who knows when it actually came out. You played, or at least commanded, a blue (?) blocky robot. I want to say his name was "Mathbot" or something similar. This robot was in charge of an army of similar-looking robots, and his job was to use his army to stop a horde of building-sized purple aliens from eating a major city. The aliens were round, hovering things with giant conical snouts which they would use to suck up entire buildings. Again, I don't remember the name of the aliens. The gameplay had you looking at the city top-down, with the aliens hovering around. You job was to place rows of robots around the city such that they would surround the aliens and contain them. In order to place robots, you had to solve a math puzzle first, and being that I was about five this is the main reason I never got very far in the game. As the aliens roamed around, they would sometimes stop and eat city blocks they were hovering over. (As a tiny kid I found this a little disturbing to watch, especially since it was accompanied by a bizarre sucking noise.) I believe the loss condition was losing too many city blocks before the aliens were contained. The most vivid thing I remember about the game was that it had limited voice acting. The lead robot would first say "Click on a city block!" instructing you to place a robot, then "Click on a direction arrow!" where you decide which direction you want your row of robots to extend. I think there was more voice acting in the introduction, where the lead robot introduced himself, but I can't for the life of me remember his name.

They were both still called Math Ace and Word City, but they added "Grand Prix Edition" to the title. I thought I was the only one who played those, and yet here's people familiar with an even more obscure version of the drat thing. The rules were a bit different too, but that doesn't really matter.

I think it was a n64 or PS1 game where you played as various kinds of animals in different levels, I vaguely remember playing as a penguin or something that could fly.

I remembered it as a math game, but I guess it was a spelling game. Same difference when you're six. Man. That's honestly one of the first games I remember ever playing. And talk about obscure. That video you found is the only evidence I was able to dig up of that game's existence once you mentioned it.

Looking for an Amiga platformer that I could not find while peering through the Lemonamiga database. You were, I believe, a kid in a red shirt with a red bandana going around mostly punching stuff. The world was sort of cyberish, but also vaguely eastern-inspired. I'm absolutely positive it was called something along the lines of "Kid Karate" or "Awesome Bazooka Kid" or "Kung Fu Johnny" or some poo poo like that. A later level had a big metal car you could jump in, and I remember it having a Ghouls 'n Ghosts-style world map before you start. It's not Switchblade or First/Second Samurai.

No, it's neither, although stylistically the graphics are similar to Ruff n Tumble. A lot sparser, though. I also remember it having that characteristic Amiga gradient sky palette.
