I posted this a while ago but I don't think we ever figured it out. It was a platformer I think on either NES or Genesis (pretty sure it was Genesis). The main thing I can remember was, I'm not sure if this was in between stages or it was the games version of boss battles, but it was a rock paper scissors battle. . I seem to remember it had kind of a darker aesthetic. One of the bosses may have been a weird looking clown or something?

Maybe "in the Enchanted Castle" if you're sure it was Genesis.

Ah yea, someone suggested this before but it doesn't look right to me, though it sounds like it should be correct. It looks too cartoony. I remember one of the first levels looking like an underground dungeon or something. I think there may have been another boss minigame with some kind of balloon inflating thing. I could very well just be remembering wrong.

Stuff just gets conflated until my memories of Pacman include robots and alien abduction. There was a vertical scrolling shoot-em-up in the arcade in the late 80s where the gimmick was that you had "time bombs" that you could fire that wound the game back a few frames. You could collect a ton of them and if you were killed and reacted quickly enough you could hammer the bomb button enough to wind time back and replay that fraction of a second to avoid the bullet. It seems like such a unique gimmick that I could search for it easily, but you can't really search for "time bomb" and I've never had any luck describing it usefully in a search.

Got recommended to ask in here, so I’ll just copy-paste a post I made: - - - I’ve got a bit of request here, because the most 90’s things I remember is also somehow borderline impossible to find for me. Back sometime in the mid-to-late 90’s, I played a kid’s educational game, who’s title I’m probably remembering wrong. It was something along the lines of Professor Solve-it-All Adventures, an interactive game where a cool, funky Science Guy has a hotline where people call in to get help for their problems. Basically it was a pre-rendered 3D point-and-click type game which also taught basic science to kids. That said, the game was ridiculously Nineties era - you knew the “Professor” was cool because he had a backwards cap and talked like a  cool guy who had attitude and you could also hang out with! Each part of the game also had educational side where there was a bickering couple (the smart girl/wacky boy combo) who taught the science fundamentals and small scale DIY projects, with the final challenge of the game being a gigantic Rube Goldberg machine you had to figure out.Better yet, the game’s menu had him rap the intro, which for some stupid reason I still remember part of it (“I’m Solve-it-all and that’s alright, I’ll solve your problems day or night, if you’re in trouble don’t have a clue, then Solve-it-all is the man for you!”). I’m bringing this all up because I spent an unnecessary amount of time trying to find this goddamn game today and somehow it appears to be purged from the internet. If anyone can possibly find this stupid, stupid thing, you would have my deepest gratitudes! - - - I’ve honestly tried going through Moby Games and Old Games, but nothing seems to show up. At this point I’d fully appreciate if anyone can find this. Additional info I can remember is one of the puzzles being how to get a foundation (I think) working again, and another being getting a plane to fly.

So I found what's almost definitely your game, but I don't know exactly what it's called in English - it looks like it's a pretty obscure Swedish game called Professor Salvadores, there's a video on YouTube with English subtitles https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZgMTJjI4Q0

I decided to see if I could find the English version of that game, and I'm pretty sure this is it. https://artsandculture.google.com/asset/video-game-the-adventures-of-professor-solvadore-air-water/gAFTvYQlNBPDPQ It was surprisingly difficult to Google!

Trying to remember a game from like, 2004. It had a fairly JRPG art style, but the defining feature was that it was real-time combat, and each member of your party was like a completely different combat gameplay that you could switch to at any time. Like, your main character was a warrior and it was a 3rd person, action combos style, then there was a priest/mage type character that was actually FPS with a staff. One of the first locations was a beachside town with the most compellingly chill music. Edit: I wanna say that it was on original XBox and the name sounded kinda like Suikoden...?

Hey I'm trying to remember the name of a game I played a few years back. It was like an MMO version of Dynasty Warriors where you had a main character who led a squad around against another team and/or AI. I'm pretty sure it was based loosely on Chinese history. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

Some others that IIRC got pretty popular outside their home country are Blade and Soul, Moonlight Blade, and Nine Dragons. EDIT: There's also of course Dynasty Warriors Online which I guess is probably it. Neo Rasa fucked around with this message at 22:51 on Jul 20, 2019 |

There was also a Dynasty Warriors Online that had that mechanic, so...

Yo some dude in a Discord was posting videos of a game. A roguelike post apocalyptic survival thingy with a graphical style kinda similar to Rimworld. At one point he'd stolen what looked like a schoolbus and set it on fire. Anyone got any idea? It's apparently fairly new.

Learning game, most likely DOS CGA or EGA, featured a cast of dinosaurs(?) if not elsewhere then at least on the title screen and box art. Might have involved math? I have nothing else to give because I've never played it, only had it, installed it, and booted it up once before immediately quitting and forgetting to ever get back to it. I lost the floppy and the computer's hard drive died ages ago, so this is the last place I can look. The only peculiar thing about it is that it had to have been bought at any point after Windows 95 came about. That doesn't mean that's when the game came out, but it must've been available in some form, right? Maybe that part doesn't matter, but maybe it does.

The first link there is math blaster, which most likely isn't it since you play as a space man and aliens. But I used to own a whole bunch of similar games, targeted towards specific grade levels. One of them might be it, but the exact name escapes me. I remember having the grade 6 one, you went back in time and SOLVED PUZZLES. I had a few more of those games, one where you were some cool detective girl, one of the puzzles was a crossword in a museum, followed by a towers of hanoi.

I remember playing a game on the SNES when I was a kid which I always remembered as being part of the Lemmings series. Having looked at the games in that series I think I'm probably wrong. Each level was a single screen where creatures would drop out of a hatch at the top of the screen and walk down, like Lemmings, but the players controlled larger creatures, like the blocker Lemmings, and could block the smaller creatures from falling off cliffs etc. I think the levels looked a bit like Mario Bros or Joust, with platforms rather than terrain. I distinctly remember them splatting when they fell too far, and the message "Too Many [Creatures] Perished!" when you got a game over, as that's where I learned the word "perish".

I've got one - actually fairly recent, but I haven't been able to find it for the life of me using google. It's similar to Dwarf Fortress except you have orcs and goblins - I remember one of the main resources was pig iron which came from some kind of bog. ASCII Graphics as well I think.

It's definitely not going to be anything from google image search, because I've already tried multiple ways and never came up with anything. I wish I could remember more about the appearance of the characters, but the most I can do is take a wild guess that the title screen would have had a black background. I seem to remember that the box art characters and the title screen characters used the same art as a base, but that's an extremely unhelpful clue to anyone that doesn't already have the game and box.

There was a(n early-access?) space colony simulator from like 2-3 years ago that had its own thread, but I can’t find it now. I’m pretty sure it wasn’t Oxygen Not Included, as I remember it being an overhead view, and I really dislike ONI’s art style. I think there was a combat element, like defending your base from raiders or something.
