Social Animal posted:There was this old Chinese warez cd back in the day (95 or 96 maybe?) that had this game where you rode around in futuristic motorcycles around a huge arena shooting other cycles. I remember the arena being huge with all sorts of obstacles and flips. The graphics were in 3d as well and I think it was playable online. Any ideas? Rocket Jockey?

Corridor posted:Bumping this in case someone remembers it. Stupid game was retarded fun. If no one gets it this time I'll consider it lost to the internet. Sounds vaguely similar to Hateful Chris? That was linear and had a plot and stages though. ponzicar posted:That sounds like Lucky and Wild. Lucky and Wild had a wheel and two pistols, but I'm pretty sure it did start with your windshield being destroyed, so... moller fucked around with this message at 06:51 on Jun 18, 2009 |

These Loving Eyes posted:I'm looking for the name of a fighting game that was perhaps a PC exclusive from the early 90s. It had graphics on par with Mortal Kombat games and all the playable characters were distinctly human except for one which was sort of a lizard-man (or some other green monster). The game was fully 2D and rendered in a realistic style. The box art of the game had mostly dark grey and red or orange, there was possibly a big letter or symbol in it. For some reason, I think the name was something like "apocalypse" or something similar. Xenophage: Alien Bloodsport? small change posted:
I know this one was already called, but I just want to say that Starflight for the Genesis is an excellent game, probably my favorite of the genre. Might be nostalgia though. BobbyBaudoin posted:Ok, let's see. It was a point and click game, I am sure of it. At the begining you're a little boy, I remember you could go in a pool and dive to go into a different aquatic world. It was a old game, probably made in the early 90's. It was for PC.

Dravonn posted:There was this SNES platform game that I used to play when I was young. It was co-op and you controlled a short Asian guy (with a sword? maybe?) who would eat rice cakes for health. I can't remember anything more but the name of this game is killing me. I loved the minigames in that, and the fact that you attacked with a variety of, ahem, smoking implements. It's one of the few games in the incredibly long running and prolific Ganbare Goemon series to be released in America. I think there was one other on the SNES and one for the N64. If you have access to Japanese console games though there are a million of these to play. The main character is based upon a japanese folk hero - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ishikawa_Goemon

Okay, I've got one. Ancient DOS game, EGA graphics or so and buzzer for sound. It had the trappings of a fantasy RPG, with a knight and perhaps a few other units battling a dragon, but the gameplay was a pong/arkanoid sort of thing with you bouncing a ball back and forth.

The roadblasters question reminded me - 90s arcade game, some sort of police chase scenario. When you were within range of an enemy or target car, the dude riding shotgun would lean out of the side window and fire a handgun at the car to disable it. I don't recall if you controlled the firing or not. It's not Lucky and Wild or Chase HQ.

JimProfitAnon posted:Does anyone remember the name of a Windows game... my older brother had it with Duke Nukem, it was some sort of racing game. Yeah, as Septimus said, it was Death Rally. Duke Nukem's car was called "The Deliverator", so he was like a double easter egg. Plinth posted:Chase HQ 2? Thanks, you rock. The arcade game seems to have dropped the "Chase HQ2" bit though, the signage just said Special Criminal Investigation. moller fucked around with this message at 08:49 on Feb 16, 2010 |

Shadowborn posted:I remember playing a demo of an X-Com-like SWAT-themed game back in the mid-late 90's. You were given a mission briefing by your commander, a British lady who kinda reminded me of Judi Dench, in an FMV sequence. The mission in the demo was to storm a house and rescue a family who had been taken hostage. After the briefing you could buy weapons and equipment for your team. Then the game switched to an isometric perspective for the actual mission. It was set in modern times and turn based?

Mad Mage Era posted:The only thing I remember of it was one death scene (or I assume it was a death scene). It was a scene where a character (your character?) rotted away, going from flesh-and-bone to just a skeleton in a dissolving transition. The image was focused on the character's head and shoulders and he was lying on the ground. The death scene really, really sounds like westwood/cryo's Dune. Some of the rest of your description made me think of Wasteland.

TeamJesus posted:I used to have a game back when I had a Windows 3.0 computer, though it may have been a DOS game. The mechanic sounds like a Pachinko game. (Well, technically more like Plinko!)  Could it be 1997's Pachinko by Brian Kent?

The map was a series of zones with these factories in the middle of the... and if you sent foot robots to go attack a tank, they'd complain.

ColoradoCleric posted:I'm trying to find the name of a game that's like age of empires but was more focused on city building and had you managing resources for things like paying for your military, there was definitely a trade aspect to this game as you could make offers with the other players. There was also an auto resolve feature for its basic RTS matches Rupert Buttermilk posted:Was this one of the Caesar games? If not one of the Caesars, perhaps one of their Sierra-published sequels like Zeus or Emperor? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_Building_Series I got pretty addicted to Emperor: RoTMK a few years ago and always meant to try some of the others.

Gaius Marius posted:This one is for a friend, he has tried to remember what this game is since we were both kids but has always come up blank. So it's supposedly a PS1 game where you play as an orphan or some kids or something and someone is trying to catch you with traps or something. Super vague but i'm trying to relay half remembered info from third grade him. Heart of Darkness?
