I remember a fair amount about this game, except for the title. You were trying to stop a clone of yourself from destroying a city. The game had two modes. First, you were looking at a top down map of the city. You'd see your character, and the evil clone. You'd both move around the map, him trying to destroy the various cities and you trying to collect items to fight him with. Whenever you would land on one of the item squares, a mini game would have to be played in order to collect it. Once you thought you had collected enough of the items you could battle the clone (which played out as a CGI cutscene). I seem to recall that the clone had countermeasures to a number of the items, so you wanted to make sure you collected the majority of them.

My stepbrother's trying to find the name of a game, and I can't help him for my goddamn life:quote:There was an old video game with lovely graphics. Me and my friends would play it after our work was done in business classes because we had emulators on our flash drives so I'm not sure if it were gameboy or PC or what. But when you started you choose between like six or eight mutants and each one has a special ability. I know one is a plant and one is a toxic blob. One may have been robotic. You would have your mutant and go through little maps fighting rats I think, or some other mutants that had weapons. After the map, you moved on to the next level. The first three levels looked like underground with dirt, the next three levels looked like it was in a cave. It wasn't an easy game but I loved it dearly. It had the word underground, waste, or junk in its name. War may have been in the name?

This is going to be exceedingly vague, but I remember playing a sort of point-and-click adventure game with detective elements, in a modern setting. You start out in a building on the ground floor somewhere, inspecting lockers (?). You end up in a hotel room eventually, and then the shareware/trial version of the game ends. It was probably a mid or late nineties game. That's all I remember

Commodore 64 game where you controlled a spaceship and blew up bases (or maybe they were other much larger spaceships?). Top down and you could fly kind of like Raid on Bungeling Bay except you could also shoot in all (four, maybe eight?) directions. You had to destroy turrets and dodge obstacles when you entered the bases to get to their core which you destroyed. There was a gulf separating some of the bases that you had to cross that had enemy spaceships.

I am looking for a game that was probably playstation or playstation 2 potentially possibly xbox 360. It was a JRPG and it was had a more modern setting and at one point in the story you're in a big city and meet some kind of secret government agent who joins your party. That is really vague and thats why I can't find it, maybe someone here knows.

Can't be Shadow Hearts. He said the setting is modern. Shadow Hearts is set around World War I.

He said more modern than most JRPGs, I think it has a good chance of being what he's looking for. It definitely has a government agent joining your party in a big city.

I really wouldn't consider the 1910s to be "more modern" considering the large number of RPGs that take place close to the present day but it could be possible that you're right, if he's described it poorly.

Shadow Hearts takes a lot of liberties with its technology and one of the characters who joins you is a spy in a big city (based on a real life woman executed for being a French spy).

I'm pretty sure Shadow Hearts is right, but I'm surprised at how well FFVII fits the bill. Depends on how liberally you want to interpret Cait Sith. E: well now I'm definitely sure about Shadow Hearts

Here's another one, probably Playstation or PS2, a JRPG style game where you start out in a small walled village, and the main driving thing in the start of the game is that there is a mist full of monsters that is encroaching on the village. Sounds a bit like ff9 but its not.

Anyone know of this old elementary school style math game? It was set in the Wild West and you either played it against a computer or another person. One person was a train and the other was a horse. You needed to solve math problems to move "spaces" which were set up like a snakes and ladder style board. I remember if you land on a certain space the announcer would yell "MOVE ON DOWN TO THE NEXT TOWN" in a western accent.

A year or so ago I saw this game about a dog with a shotgun fighting other dogs in a world that looked very reminiscent of Fallout. I cannot remember the name of it for the life of me, I think it was on Greenlight but its been way too long. I think I saw a preview of it on Destructoid or Kotaku.

I played this game on AOL's game service in or around 2000. All I can remember about it is that it was essentially a missile command clone, but you were playing on a round earth, so you could build bases all around in a circle.

Yeah I borrowed Legends of Legaia from a friend in HS and remember finding the combat system so interesting. It definitely appears to be one of those forgotten games. It's amazing how much those weird rear end early enemies stuck with me all these years.
