Not the game you're talking about, but the most memorable Qix-like for me is a game called Volfied. I used to play it tons. Can't be it though because I don't remember character selection.

Thank you I actually kinda remembered bizyland but years of memory erosion made me think they just accidentally put the label for a busytown game on it.

So I accidentally stumbled upon the shooter that she was trying to figure out. It was not R-type though she did remember R-type. The one she was trying to remember was Gyrus. I started playing it the other day and immediately she recognized the music.

Is there a thread that helps you find the names of songs?

Back when I was a kid in the 2000s I played a demo for a fantasy strategy game. It was in a 3/4 perspective and looked like you were in a cave. You would send groups of units around to capture buildings. There was at least a faction of elves and another of humans and I remember the unit sprites being very high res for the time.

Battle for Wesnoth?

If it's not Lords of Magic which was my hunch too, Disciples 2 after the standalone Rise of the Elves expansion maybe? At least some of the levels take place underground IIRC.

Or is this a totally different game compared to the arcade one? I love how bad our memories of old games can be, though. Something you swear is one thing turns out to be about 3 games mixed together with a TV show thrown in for good measure.

A GBA game I borrowed from my friend for a bit - it was a Halloween-themed top-down shooter. (You probably collected something pointless, too.) I believe you fought pumpkin-based enemies a lot and one of the characters - there might have been multiple playable characters? - was, like, the kid daughter of Dr. Frankenstein. Also I'm pretty certain it was a sequel.

Back in the very early nineties, a friend of mine had a shareware? RPG? on his Mac. You were breaking out of a hospital or mental Institution; I think you were supposed to be a psycho killer. You had options to Punch or Kick in combat. One of the first weapons you could find was a syringe that would instant-kill one enemy. One of the first enemies was a cop you could kill for his pistol. we never got very far, but I would really like to know what that game was.

Hey, Alien Resurrection was the first game to properly use the twin analog stick controls that are now standard for console FPS', you don't get more exciting than that!

There was a "game" that was more of a tech demo from around 10-12 years ago that suddenly popped into my head today. I don't think it ever got released, but I vaguely remember some of the videos they released showing off the crazy-at-the-time graphics was a fantasy fps where they were fighting an ogre with a bow and maybe some spells. I'm pretty sure it was called Project _______.

I'm trying to remember the name of an old text adventure game. it had visuals but was interfaced with text. It was the second game in a series, you started out in an apartment and had to escape. The aliens you encountered in the first installment can take over your human brains. they were scary and you managed to stop them from figuring out where earth was. You were made very rich in reward, and asked to help the military when needed as mutual compensation. A long spaceship appeared near earth and some crazy cult has risen up and gotten violent (they are who you are trying to escape from) I remember you having to go to that ship after the cultists raid the military base you are hiding out at and murder pretty much everyone. On the ship was a brain sucking mechanical alien monster you have to outwit. Then you escape off it and get stuck on an alien planet and have to finagle yourself a ship that can make it back home. Before those cultists can take control of that long alien ship and pilot it to the evil aliens and basically give up your whole race to them. I remember you needing three parts for the ship, you visit an ice planet, and not much else. I have nothing I can search for to get the name of the game. Please halp.

So there was this game which I am almost positive was a console JRPG from the PS2 era or mayyyybe early PS3? All I remember about it was that there was something that was very similar to Final Fantasy X's sphere grid, but this one was in 3D and had a lot of twisty things, and you would spend points (XP points?) to drive the ball along the path and....I think there were only like three tiers of levels, so you would cap out really early until the next tier could be unlocked... argh I can see it in my head.

This game I'm thinking of was like a knock-off of Crusader: No Remorse, so it was in third-person isometric perspective with super-destructible environments as the main gimmicks, but in this one you controlled like a futuristic battle-robot (I can't remember if it was tracked or walked, maybe both?) and accordingly the missions were on the outside, so you were blowing up ammo dumps and whole army bases rather than being inside a refinery.

I read your reply, and I thought, no that can't be right, but then I couldn't remember how XIII did the leveling so I Google Image Searched it, and it's exactly what I was thinking of. Well, that resolves that. Thanks!

How recent is it? If it's new then Brigador. If it's old and 3D then maybe Future Cop LAPD.
