I'm trying to remember a game that was on the Atari st. I only ever played a demo of it. In my memory it was called alien syndrome, but that turns out to be a similar bit different game. It's a top down shooter where you are on a space station, and there are aliens. The vibe was much more 'abandoned space station survival' than like, 'alien blast fest'. I remember that you had a load of different abilities bound to the num pad keys. They were all different and bizarre, one of them tore a hole in the floor a short distance in front of you and killed anything there.

No, that's not it, it was a lot more zoomed out than that. I think you could see space around the edges of the ship as well? The alien syndrome thing is probably a red herring, it's just another name I remembered. It's more likely it's called something like 'space station'. I remember it having this really lonely vibe. Edit: having looked up space station Atari st on Google I feel I should clarify, it's not the Atari st game called space station. drat my memory is annoying at attributing other real names to this game.

Oh man, so, it's not aaron, but it's really similar. At the bottom left of the screen was a kind of inventory of how many of the numpad abilities you had left, but it wasn't clear what they were just from looking. I remember one as well was it shot in front and I think behind you an explosion in a line that reached the top and bottom (or I guess left and right if you were facing that way) of the screen

A couple of rough memories resurfaced again, may not be totally accurate: An arcade machine, probably 90's, where you sit in the middle of a spherical roll cage. You're piloting either a plane or a space ship in third person and the whole thing moves as you do in the game. The game itself was similar to Afterburner in appearance. Never played it myself, just watched a kid play it once. A 90's two seated arcade machine where you pilot a helicopter through some canyons and shoot things. The seats were side-to-side and each pilot had a helicopter. I'm pretty sure it was a 3d game but not certain. It felt more like a simulation because the canyons were an absolute bitch to navigate. Besides the flight stick, it also had a yaw pedal that was just a long bar that pivoted in the middle. I only played it twice, because the second time someone accused me of stealing his guys as if the quarters he put in automatically went into a shared pool of lives. The owner wasn't sure that was actually happening but I avoided it after that. This one's a bit harder to ID I think. A mid to late 90's seated arcade machine where you pilot a space fighter. 3d, first person, bigger than average screen. Definitely in space. I only remember that it used some god awful monitor or projection screen where nobody to your sides could see what you were doing. There was a window above the pilot seat that was tinted and you could sort of make out what they were doing.

This was a PC side scroller with one or two energy bars down at the bottom of the screen, taking the full wish because it was segregated from the play area. I think it was fantasy (swords and poo poo) and I read about it in someone's Electronic Gaming Monthly around 1993. Anyone got an idea?

On the Epic Megagames side, is it possibly Xargon Mystery of the Blue Builders?

PC Adventure game from the early or mid 90's. I only played a demo of it from a PC Magazine, the graphics were vaguely early Sierra-esque and weren't FMV. The game, or at least the part that the demo covered, appeared to be about an amnesiac man who falls into a sewer and can't find his way out. Anybody have any ideas?

drat, thanks guys for all the guesses. I don't know if you could switch between characters, I don't remember that. I do remember that the health bar were horizontal across the screen width, no pips though (looked continuous). No isometric view either, it was definitely a side scroller with caves and stuff, I recall the general color scheme looking very blue and white. I have been looking at YouTube lists trying to find out but I don't see anything like it. God, maybe it was CDi or something and not PC

My friend is after a game from the late 90s sometime. According to her, the game was 3D, and entailed a sort of 'make your own music video' kind of thing. You'd set music and choose models & camera angles, and the numpad(?)would change their pose mid-song. At the end you could play back the clips you'd made. Beats the poo poo out of me, but maybe one of you guys has heard of it??

I've got two games I'm thinking of. One very specific but possibly gone forever, one extremely vague and I never actually played, just saw sitting on a shelf in a F.Y.E. store sometime in the early/mid 2000's The specific one was a diving game that was on a couple of terminals in the water sciences section of CoSci in Toledo Ohio(Which is now imagination station apparently) and they didn't have it the last time I was there. It would have been there around the late 90's early 2000's. It was an environmentally centered game where you played some kind of diver, and you were inside a lake or something similar. It was very likely made on the Build engine, since it had that same duke nukem look and feel, hell you even had a mighty boot styled kick with your flipper to open and interact with things, I remember it being funny since the first thing you had to do was kick open a locker and grab your scuba gear otherwise you'd quickly die underwater. You started in a room that was on some kind of personal ship, and you exit through a dive pool in the bottom, and from there I remember a wrecked ship on the bottom of the lake, and a cabin on the shore. I don't remember if it's exactly this but I think I remember Diving down into the bathtub in the cabin, kicking open the drain, and exploring the pipes until I found some kind of water treatment facility. Here's hoping there's a PC version floating around to grab since it really seemed to evoke a weird sense of exploration with its simplicity. The second one I have low hopes for, but I'm pretty sure it was an early 2000's partial FMV exploration horror game, the kind of FMV where pictures or stills of real people are transposed on the world for the characters, or something similar. I only picked up the box, but the front cover was some old dilapidated barn, and on the back there were screens of the area around it and some old west town. I want to say the implication was some plot about limited time travel to certain places, and the whole aesthetic was washed out. Tagline was something along "There's something more beyond the barnyard."

I know this isn't a lot to go on, but: I remember seeing something on the forums a while ago about an unreleased rail shooter for DOS, made on some version of the Build engine. It may have been made somewhere in East Asia, but I may just be confusing it with Mars 3D and Legend of the Seven Paladins.

I wish, but no. It was more that kind of FMV where it was images of people put over lovely pixelated computer graphics backgrounds of the time. Hell, it's been too long for me to proper remember glancing at a box lazily in a FYE store, but I can't stop remembering it for some reason. Meme virus game.
