I _think_ the gameplay was similar to Asteroids. I do know it's in space. (I know, that doesn't really narrow it down.) Sounds like it could be Blasteroids.

Got one for you all...It was on the Sega Genesis, 100% sure on that. Basically, it was a side scrolling platformer type game, set in the future, I think it was people trying to set up some kind of space colony. You were a soldier walking around in a large suit of power armor equipped with guns, I remember one of the guns was a 30.06. Anyways, the distinctive thing about this game was that it gave you the feel that you were on a team defending this space colony, like you would get messages from your commander along the lines of "get over to this side of the base and defend the blargblah" or "get out of there, we're calling in an airstrike!" In fact, in the first level, I distinctly remember the airstrike being a story event. I seem to remember part of the title was "Alpha" something or other, but I could be mistaken.

I hate to bump this thread, but it's been bugging me... it's an old DOS game, where you play an old man. You're in some kind of tower, in an isometric view. I remember there maybe being magic, and I do remember hunger and thirst meters. There were monsters around the tower. Also, I don't know if it was a product of me being young, but I remember it being tough.

Cause for thought!! Maybe this is also why I can't figure out the little platformer game, too.

So here's one that's been bugging me for a while. It was a 2d windows game made in the style of Quake 3. As in, all the art, sprites, and weapons were direct rips from it. It was built for multiplayer, had a level editor built in, and I remember it being a really fun game in general. Combat was handled by aiming with the mouse and moving via WASD. It wasn't that Quake3 2D mod either, it was it's own fan game. It was called Quake "something" but I can't remember it for the life of me.

First person shooter still in development. The developers have talked about how it will integrate multiplayer into single player by allowing players to play as the enemies in a level against the single player playing the game. It is driving me nuts that I cannot remember this one.

Extremely old game that was said to be very compelling. Boxart featured a guy looking into the distance with a few pictures behind him. Had a very long and no-brainer kind of title. I think it may have been adventure or text based. I just heard someone say it was extremely extremely good.

Here's one that I doubt is findable at all. It was a 5 player game, but the other 4 were all computers. You built and launched missiles and used missile defense. I think there was something to do with religion or maybe government styles in it too, but it wasn't available in the demo. Each player could choose one of the real leaders of real countries, but their names were altered to be amusing. This was on some online flash site, but you could buy it for $10 or something and unlock everything and play it offline.

Wonder if anyone can help me. I remeber a PC game we played at school in the mid 90's. You played either a man or a woman and you had to go around to a few different places on a map. There was a cafeteria, a quickie mart type of place and a few others. You also had to answer some quiz questions. At the end of each level there was a race against a computer player and your character would win if you ate healthy foods along the way. The race at the end of the first level was a swimming race in a lake or something. I also remeber one of the later levels had you answering health type questions for a dude that would appear as just a head in flames. If you answer correctly he would get more pissed off but if you answered wrong he would knock you down a level. I never finished the game and I want to know what it was. I seem to recall this last level taking place inside a cave. Does anyone else remeber this? Am I crazy?

There is one that has been bugging me for the longest. It was an arcade game I always played at the roller rink in about '87 or so. The view was top down and had something to do with a bunch of armed thugs in cars driving off with your girlfriend. You have a car that you can drive around in and shoot at stuff. It was kind of neat because if your car took enough damage, you could actually jump out of it and run around on foot. Sure, you'd almost always end up getting ran over by swarms of enemy cars, but at the time actually being able to get out of your vehicle was a pretty novel gameplay concept. I remember that I always got killed by these drat semi trucks that had rows of cannons on them. I blew so much of my allowance on that game and never did beat it.

This is a game I used to play years ago for Turbo Grafix. The most I can remember about it is that its a 2d platform game where there was two parts to every stage. The first part you played threw as a normal human and when you got to the end of that you transformed into some type of robot with a light saber like sword. After every stage your sword grew bigger and more powerful. Thats the best I can recall of it.

It's an old game from the era of the spectrum, the BBC Micro and the c64. The format is an adventure game, you explore poo poo and solve puzzles. At one point there is a tree who asks you to pick up some fallen leaves. You do this and fall down into a hole. The tree laughs at you. A fairy comes along along punishes the tree by making it snow on him. You get the chance to forgive the tree. This may be a different game but at some point there is a castle you need a password to get into. I may be wrong but I think the password was "Zap". That's all I remember about the game because I was about 10 years old.

Two games, probably from the Apple ][ era that I'm trying to remember. The first was an edutainment game where you moved around a birds-eye view map of a town and solved riddles/puzzles. I believe this map was black with white writing. On the north end of the town was a space observatory. One of the objects you could collect might have been a "goblet". It came on a 5.25" floppy. Not much to go on, I know. In the second game, you had a bunch of Mooninite-looking creatures in a rectangular pen that moved around and sort of reproduced and evolved. There were different species that were different colors.

I'm trying to remember a Sega Genesis game. I vaguley remember it, the first level had you shooting at some sort of slime machines and the little things you could collect for points looked like harmonicas or some poo poo. Also, there was a level where you were climbing up a burning tree.

Well, I just remembered another game that I want to know the name of. I'm pretty sure it was an Amiga game, but it might have been on PC. It took place in a Subway station, and it had one of those amusement park booths, with those Fortune Teller heads. I believe when you inserted a coin, the booth would give you a Subway ticket. When you got on the Subway, it transported you into this side scrolling platformer world. I remember the back of the box showed a ton of different worlds, but I was never quite good enough to beat the first world as a kid

I'm looking for an old PC/DOS game. It was a filled polygon space sim where I remember you could fight and also talk to the crews of other ships. You could customize your ship and I think there was some trading involved, but the thing I remember most were that the different engines were named after the explorers i.e. Vespucci and Magellan. Probably from the mid 90's. Found it, it was either Lightspeed or Hyperspeed SeamusMcPhisticuffs fucked around with this message at 14:18 on Sep 13, 2008 |

There was an NES action/RPG game in the early 90's where the protagonist was a silent red headed girl that would go crawling through these absurdly complicated maze dungeons. The graphics were similar to Crystalis. I remember the twist being that the main character wasn't actually a girl, but was a boy, and in order to access the last few dungeons you needed to remove the curse and climb some rope to your home village (which won't let you in until you're male). Anybody have any ideas?

I'm trying to remember a game from the late 90's or so. I played the trial version of it years ago, so my memory of it is a little sketchy. Here's what I remember: -Made by Microsoft -Was a vehicle simulator/strategy game -You could drive tanks, helicopters, and planes -You lost the game by losing your floating base station -You could blow up your base station by commanding one of the gun turrets and just shooting yourself -Post-apocalyptic setting -I seem to recall a line from one of the briefings: "...released a flock of white doves." Thanks in advance. This has really been bugging me lately.
