Back in the very early nineties, a friend of mine had a shareware? RPG? on his Mac. You were breaking out of a hospital or mental Institution; I think you were supposed to be a psycho killer. You had options to Punch or Kick in combat. One of the first weapons you could find was a syringe that would instant-kill one enemy. One of the first enemies was a cop you could kill for his pistol.

we never got very far, but I would really like to know what that game was.

Was it in black and white? Sounds like Psychotic! The Escape.

You know what might look better on your nose?

It was a Pokémon clone from around 2000. You could pick a girl or boy character. You viewed your character from an isometric point of view, moving through a maze with GameBoy Pokémon-like encounters. I'm pretty sure the floor was blue, maybe water, and the walls organic, might've been reeds. I don't remember any of the "Pokémons", besides one that was just a huge carrot, and really strong for whatever reason. The game may have been freeware, certainly shareware.

E:

Oh, and another might've been a tornado-monster? I think?

Ah, no, I should've specified it being on the PC, and most likely not a retail title.

There was this online game which had traffic directing police officers, orange slug monsters which left slime in their path, holes things could fall into and come out of another hole, and you could program each being to turn or move a certain amount, using a graphical programming interface. Like scratch (you could drag and drop commands into repeat or if than blocks). There was probably more, but it was so cool to play with, and I just can't remember the name.

Everything was on a grid, and I believe the view was isometric (it used sprites).

I should mention that it wasn't multiplayer, I just found it online. it must be at least 10 years old by now, probably older.

poo poo no man I've played this game too but I can't think of what it was called either. There was also like an emerald monster, which was, y'know, a cut emerald with a happy face on :geno: It was 100% a Pokemon clone and it looked like everything was drawn in MSPaint, right? It was fully shareware, I got to the screen where it tells you to send money to <destination> and gently caress now I really wanna know what game it was, too.

Reposting some old requests that were never answered:

1. I used to have a pc called a Vendex Headstart III, which was given to me second hand. I've googled it, but the list of bundled software did not include the game I was thinking of. The game is a primitive adventure/puzzle game with CGA graphics. You navigate a maze, collects keys and trigger plates to move walls. There were very few enemies that halted your progress. It came with a custom level designer, which I used a lot. It had a paintbrush for a mouse cursor and you could choose from a variety of walls, select their size and hook them to pressure plates that would move them side to side or up and down.

2. Looking for late 80's educational game, probably for the Apple II. You solved math problems or history questions to progress your hot air balloon around the world. I do not think it is an MECC game because I already looked up a list of those games and did not find what I was looking for.

3. An early 90's action adventure game. 2d top down, plays kinda like zelda or gauntlet, maybe some rpg elements, likely a console game. There are pig-faced orcs as enemies, as well as other generic fantasy enemies. I thought it might've been an early D&D title, but I searched a bunch of console D&D titles and so far no match. I don't think it ever entered into first person like a typical D&D game of the time. I have this funny feeling it was for a niche console, like the Sega CD.

This might be Dungeon Explorer. If it's not the Sega CD version, check out the TurboGrafx version, as I think they're supposed to be completely different games.

I need help with the names of two old PC-type games!

1) You wander around a dungeon and there are caterpillar-looking "worms" that follow you around. The worms can swallow you, and then you have to escape from them. If you can find a flower (I think?) then you can feed the flower to the worm and it won't follow you for a screen. Not sure of the platform, but it was in the late 80's. Probably either DOS or Commodore or something like that, but maybe Apple II.

2) A game for Apple II (pretty sure) that I used to play in school (again, late 80's) where you choose a type of dinosaur and have to survive by eating other dinos or running away. It's not the one where you customize a dinosaur, you just choose one. I might be getting it confused with Dino Wars for Amiga, but I'm fairly sure that this one was older (like, only CGA or something).
EDIT: Not "Designasaurus", not "T-Rex: Dinosaur Survival"

Hay hay hay!
Trying to remember a SNES game I played a couple times as a kid. Only played 2player. You chose from 3 robots, blue green and pink and had to get to the end of the level. The robots kinda looked like Kirby's green sword friend.

The robots could also go up! Like into the sky! They also had different skills.

Any ideas?

There was an isometric monster vs. monster game I played as a teenager at some friend's house like a hundred years ago on some weird system, I don't think I ever learned what it actually was. The buildings were destructible while you fought and I always played as this big slime monster guy. God I loved that game. Familiar to anyone?

Perhaps you have not been to the *Playground*.
The *Playground* is for Taalo and for Orz, but *Campers* can go.
It more fun than several.
You can go there for too much fun.
There is an old PC game that I'm trying to remember the name of but I can't remember too much about it. It was an edutainment title of some sort. It had very basic CGA graphics and you controlled a square that moved around a very basic map screen. The top half of the screen was the graphics and the bottom of the screen was text that described what is happening. The topic of the game was dinosaurs and I believe the title was something along the lines of "Day of the Dinosaurs" but nothing's coming up when I search for that title.

Any ideas to what this might be? I would've played it in the very early 90s but it felt old when I was playing it so I suspect it was from the 80s.

- can only go forward
- possibly made in unity
