Years ago i played this anime style Japanese point and click adventure where there was about 8 different girls and the whole aim was to get laid. You started as a student and had to level up by going to classes and various other things. One of the girls was a teacher and iirc the hardest to get.

It shames me deeply to have played a game like this, but it was like 12 years ago. It was relatively popular at the time, and might be the one you're thinking of. True Love was it's name, and I don't actually think it was pornographic or anything. Since it seemed to be one of the only translated games at the time that were like that, I bet it's the one you're thinking of.

Edit: Had to correct the name.

Edit2: Google search: definitely pornographic.

However, it was released THIRTEEN years ago, so I feel okay about it.

Whats the space game where you start out by picking out of 4 or 5 races and you can fly around from planet to planet doing quests or attacking pirates. There's a giant bad guy theme going on swallowing up solar systems and you have to figure out how to stop them.

It's a top down view of the space ship that you can set way points with your mouse or I think fly manually. different race ships had different abilities and you could add larger engines, storage, weapons, and all sorts of goodies based on how good your ship was. You could also pick up equipment from destroyed ships.

If you went in to a black hole it was some kind of mini game where you got chased down by ships and had to find the exit without dying.

Finally, there were ships of all sizes and if you put enough money in to certain parts of the game you could raise fleets to attack the enemy.

That must be the Space Rangers series.

I have one as well. I never played the game, and I don't have very much info on it at all. I only remember a preview in some gaming magazine, possibly Nintendo Power or Game Informer or something like that.

It was a Game Boy Color RPG in a fantasy setting that had some kind of crazy dichotomy between "magic" and "love," with corresponding mystical crystals embodying these two mystical forces.

I remember the preview saying something "you probably think you just find the crystals and break them or stop them from being broken and save the world right? Well..." and then some stuff about how the story isn't going to go in that direction.

I have no idea if this game is good, or even if it was released but it keeps popping into my head and so I'm hoping someone here knows about it.

On another note, i am also looking for another game, i played the demo of and if i recall correctly you were in some medieval setting of sorts and the enemies were automatons (medieval robots or something), all i recall is the architecture was a bit orange/yellowish but thats about it, oh also the game was standard adventure action i guess, i don't think it had rpg elements.

Some of the things I that you mentioned remind me of "Syberia" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syberia). Somewhat medieval setting (not really, but I could see mis-remembering it this way, you're in a very old European town), Architecture orange/yellow/brownish, adventure game, no RPG elements, automatons.

But you don't really fight the automatons, and it wasn't an action game.

But who knows, maybe you added some details incorrectly. It was worth a shot, but I doubt it's right. :P

For some reason, I thought of this game from when I was younger:

It was an arcade game, and you were a blue warrior(knight maybe?). It may have been a sidescroller, but the characters were pretty big on screen. The best way I can describe it is to think of Street Fighter. Now, whenever you beat someone, you have to walk down a corridor(no jumping Im pretty sure) and there are arrows and poo poo being shot at you.

Then you fight another knight guy. I swear there was a green one, and red one. I know there were more because I could only get a few levels in.

Ringing any bells for anyone?

I dont remember it looking that good though. I can remember wasting a LOT of money playing it though

Thanks!

I remember it being terribly difficult and me sucking at it. It was at some small pizza place about a mile from my house. My extreme distance from any great arcade definitely limited my arcade experience mostly to whatever poo poo was at local pizza places, bowling alleys, and laundromats. (Gladiator, Street Smart, some Goonies game).

This game from a few years back, it was basically a Diablo clone, but with decent 3d graphics. All the loot and dungeons were randomly generated, and there was only 1 town. I've got a hankering for some dungeon crawling, but can't remember the name of this game.

Probably Fate: http://www.playfate.com/

Sweet.

There is an expansion of sorts out now, but I think it's standalone. In any case, it has a couple more cities and 2 more dungeons, a lot more items and pets, new monsters, etc.

It's a pretty drat good game, for a mindless hack-n-slash.

An 8-bit game.. I remember each stage was a different level of a castle. And all you had to do was beat a boss to go further. I don't remember much more than that. I have been looking for awhile now.

Milon's Secret Castle? Kind of a guess, since 20% of 8 bit games fit that description.

When I was wee I rented a game that I've lost the name to. It was an adventure game. The main character used bubbles as a weapon. It was not Bubble Bobble or anything remotely similar. It more resembled the Goonies game.

Watching some LPs of Playstation 1 games, I came to remember a game I played as a kid for the system.

It was a first person space shooter, where I believe you were...a former war pilot or a prisoner or something? The only notable thing I remember is that in one mission you had to move crates floating around by using a grapple tether on your ship.

Could it be the Colony Wars series? They had a grapple gun and seem to fit the description.

Here's a very long shot. I remember a vehicle combat game for the PC from the mid 90s, it wasn't quarantine but it was futuristic like that and I think it was only arena combat. The main thing I remember is green slime!

Well, could it be a racer like MegaRace or MegaRace 2? Here's an idea, go here:

Sort the list by Year, and check the ones in the mid 90s. Let us know if it's one of those!

When I was in elementary school in the early 90s there was a game in the computer lab where you had to light up caves and you could use pulleys and fulcrum and other physics/engineering things. I don't remember much else unfortunately and Googling for the last couple of hours has gotten me nowhere. I can remember every other little game from back then, like Spellevator, Cross Country USA, Storybook Weaver, etc, but not this one. Any ideas?

I spent a bit of time searching, and the best I could come up with is Gizmos and Gadgets, which I realize is wrong. Good luck.

I asked this one a few months ago and never got an answer, so I'll try one more time. Late eighties early nineties probably, apple graphics kind of, a bunch of black fedora hats with legs running around, I think you were the one white hat, there were some blinky rainbow hats. Lots of time spend riding trains around. I don't think I ever really figured out what you were supposed to do...

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?

Rush'n Attack?

I saw this random gif on Tumblr, and it looks like a game I played as a kid, I just can't remember what it was:

I did an image search and it seems to be on a lot of pages with 'fan art' of games. I don't think it's a real game, necessarily. (Not many screenshots are animated gifs)

It does look like a lot of games I played as a kid, though.

A year or two ago, I played the demo of some indie game that had a pretty cool concept. Not sure if it was ever released (probably not), but here's the basic gist.

It was a first person puzzle game, along the lines of a very stylized Myst - lots of white space punctuated with bright colors - where the object was to layer backgrounds on top of one another by rotating the screen to create new doorways or trip switches. For instance, you could rotate a door over the top of a silo and then enter the door to unlock a new area. I think I remember one puzzle having to do with a dragon float in a parade?

Is this ringing a bell for anyone? I can't remember the name of it for the life of me.

I don't know which game that is, but the shadow manipulation reminds me of the gameplay of Echochrome II for ps3. I think it uses the PSMove, though.

Ok it's a space exploration game from the 90s/early 2000s with like midi background music where it's a 2d view of ~200 stars and you fly a spaceship between them finding cool stuff to upgrade your ship with. I forget how combat was handled but I remember it was oddly satisfying to play. Anybody have any clue what game this is?

Kinda reminds me of Starscape, but I can't remember just how midi it was. 2003.

Some pause music just popped into my head, and I have no idea what it's from. It's not super old, and the best way I can describe it is a 'brawler march'.

The only thing I can offer it that the last bar before it loops, for anyone musical reading this, is, in 4/4 time (and played with quarter notes), snare, kick, kick, snare. Around 140 bpm or so.

It's not Battletoads (edit: or Crazy Taxi) btw.

Super Mario Brothers 2 does this.

This is probably hopeless because everything I remember is really vague.

Played in 1990-1992 on an arcade machine
A 2player beat-em up
The first level was a city street in the day time
Enemies were generic 90s thug types.

I played Street Smart in a laundromat by my house in like 1990, and even though it's only one thug at a time (I think), it also fits the description somewhat.
