Here's another game I'm looking for, I've got less information to go on this time, though.

It was an NES or a SNES game, I honestly can't remember, although I'm leaning towards NES. You were an airplane, and you had a map screen where you could select where to fly to. My favourite mission was attacking a ship, but I know there were land targets too. Once you were attacking a place you would control from a top-down perspective and had free reign of what direction you could fly in, but if you flew away from the target, eventually you'd hit the end of the map and return to the map screen. I also remember the victory screen would show a building, and after a second or two it would raise a flag or something.

I know this isn't too much to go on, I was super young when I played it, but I keep thinking about it and figure one of you guys might know what I'm talking about.

U.N. Squadron matches everything but the top-down part: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_B0xfgdPdMQ

There was a game I liked, surprisingly despite it A) Being browser based and B) Zombie themed. You picked a dude and it was a tactical turn based game about taking a ruined city back slowly but surely. No idea what it was called though.

Rebuild? http://www.kongregate.com/games/sarahnorthway/rebuild

Looks like there's a sequel now too.

e: Well, "now" as in 2 years ago.

I was just thinking about arcade games and I remembered one I played in a hotel on the Gold Coast in about 1999 or 2000, but seemed old at the time. It was very similar to Metal Slug, but without the tank aspects and with less cartoony, more gritty graphics. Any ideas?

Those graphics are too primitive.

This looks like a good contender. I'll try to play it and get back to you.

In the meantime, any other suggestions?

e2: Metal Slug: Super Vehicle 001 looks really, really similar to the game I'm thinking of, but I'm fairly certain there were no vehicles in this game, and a bit more cybernoir feel to it. Piles of garbage/wreckage in the background, similar to Ryu's stage in SFII, and possibly there were mechs / you got into a mech suit or something at one point.

Gunforce 2?

Does anybody have any other ideas on the game I mentioned a little ways up? I've looked around but haven't come across it .

And why people say this game is better than Code Name: Viper is beyond me.

Yeah it's like a ring tone having a seizure, but it's memorable.

System: Sega Genesis
Type: Side scroller
Weapon: Sword

I was SURE the game was Strider, but I watched some youtube videos and it's not what I'm remembering. Too arcadey, and I don't even recognize the second level.

My memories are of the game being a little less arcadey and having some exploration element to it, like maybe finding some secret path by destroying something. I don't want to go so far as comparing it to a Metroid game, but I remember going back and forth, not just constantly moving to the right I also remember it being somewhat sci-fi like or futuristic. Like an early level your in some sort of base or something. Also your weapon was a sword of some sort.

I may just have brain damage though and this is a wild goose chase for a game that doesn't exist.

I guess it could be Strider Returns, if you're into that kind of thing:

i've been trying to remember the name of this futuristic/dystopian themed racing game for a long time. i remember the following details from the demo:

the track selection screen is basically this really neat and gritty looking holographic interface

the actual tracks themselves were largely suspended upwards with supports, high above with skyscrapers. if you fell off, you would crash and make quite the explosion.

the cars themselves looked something from Children of Men, maybe. something akin to what we have, but different.

Playstation or pc?

making a post so I can search my old posts, I'll edit this in a sec.

E: it was in the other "game you forgot the name of" thread that died out, I gotta track that down now.

This might be a long shot, but I'm trying to find an old computer game.

It was a black and white shooter game set in a maze. The character that stands out to me is a floating smiley face with an evil grin. If I remember right it was a multipack of games too. This probably would have been around the era of Windows 95 or 98.

Sorry, don't mind the crazy guy, but please if anybody knows!

Faceball 2000? Looks like it wasn't on Windows but it was on a bunch of other stuff.

There was a really old old game, like maybe late 90's though honestly its hard to remember, but it was like a pseudo phsyics game, 2d and you had like springs and balls and ramps and you could like shoot a guy around. There was no real objective. I realize how vague this is but does anyone know?

Was it a flash game?

Does anyone remember an old arcade game from the late 70's where you controlled a fighter in ww2, you had a cross hair in the middle of the screen and you had to guide the targets in. It was in black&white from what I can remember & played more like you were in a turret, the consoles were a stand up affair with a joystick, I do remember once finding what must have been the holy grail version that had a motorised seat that you sat in.. 8 year old me was most impressed

This was in the UK & I'm sure someone must remember it.

Pursuit?
