Watrick posted:There was an arcade game I used to play years ago, I'm guessing 1990 give or take a few years. It was similar to Magic Sword, but you got money and could buy weapons and upgrades. I think (could be wrong on this) your weapon was a blade on a rope that you threw forward. Rygar, possibly?

Rikimaru posted:I've been looking for an old genises game. The game started off with you in this huge mech that looked kind of like castle tower. You were fighting this other mech castle tower thing which was the end boss to the game I guess. Anyway no matter what you would lose the fight and have to run around a castle. Pretty standard platform game. I THINK the character was a rat humanoid type thing. For the life of me I can't remember anything else on this game. Sparkster, maybe?

sitchelin posted: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. That's pretty vague, but is it Global Gladiators?

Tsunemori posted:I used to go to a friend's house to play on her Sega Genesis. Should be around 1992/1993/1994, there's this side-scrolling game, kinda like Contra/Megaman. The character you play has two rings with him, and through out the game you will acquire more magical rings, and by combining two different rings you can shoot out different types of projectiles, e.g. one combination shoots a straight laser, another shoots a slow laser on a wavy path, etc. This is definitely Jewel Master. Lowness 72 posted:Ok does anyone remember this game? It was for the NES. You were a caveman or something and you could find these creatures, like dinosaurs or something, and would get to ride them around or use their abilities. There were different "dinos" or whatever and I think there were several sequels to the game. Take a second look at Adventure Island 2 and 3, because it sounds a lot like one of those.

davidspackage posted:I'm looking for the name of a NES game, might only have been released in Japan. When I was a kid, my brother bought an imported game from someone who claimed it was Super Mario Bros. 4. It had Super Mario 3's Mario sprite as the main character, but whenever you got special pick-ups or during story screens, you'd be a little guy in a hat. Only when I got the internet and learned about rom hacks, I realized that it was probably a completely different game with Mario sprites put in. Now I'm curious if someone can tell me what actual game it was by this description: I think this is Armadillo, which was in fact released only in Japan.

Corkadile posted:It was for the SNES. I pretty sure it starred Mickey Mouse. You explored this castle and played minigames. One of these games was a Tetris-like game featuring Goofy. I remember this game, because I used to rent it all the drat time for some reason. It's Mickey's Ultimate Challenge.

CrackSpider posted:I played a demo of some obscure game once for the PS2 where you controlled a weasel chained to a rabbit and you were trying to escape from a lab or something. I really want to say that it had a cheesy [1st Character]&[2nd Character] title, ala Jak&Dakter, Ratchet&Clank, but something tells me that isn't right. That's Whiplash. It's a pretty cool game.

Turnip Head posted:Well, nobody has taken even a stab at my earlier request (perhaps a dream?), so I'll post it again and then move on: It's a bit of a long shot, but could you be thinking of Conquest of the Crystal Palace for the NES? It starts on a mountain and you are able to call a dog for help.

British Bee posted:There was an old PS2 game that I used to play where you controlled a blue and yellow lizard that mistakenly fell into some other world and had to travel through the world to beat the big evil guy at the end. You could morph into different forms depending on the level, like a ball so you could roll around or a big creature with wings. Probably not too specific, but I can't remember the name of the game at all and it's really starting to annoy me. I had endless fun with it. That sounds like Scaler, probably.

Here's one that just popped into my memory: I remember playing this on a computer in elementary school, though I don't think it was educational. I'd estimate the time period as around the early to mid 1990's, as I remember the graphics being somewhat SNES-like. I remember it was a sort of first person dungeon crawling game, and the only real thing I can recall is stumbling across a boot in the middle of a hallway, and checking the boot to find that it was filled with green sludge, or something like that. I know that's not much to go on, but I'm curious if anyone knows what this was.

SoniCRIME TheRapy posted:There was some game form Genesis or SNES (pretty sure it was Genesis) where you went through a maze (full 3D, Doom style) and at the end, an alarm would sound and you had to get back to the beginning in a set amount of time. Nobody has ever been able to figure it out, and it's bugged me forever. I'm probably remembering it wrong too. Zero Tolerance, possibly?

Dean Hardpackage posted:There was a game on Sega Genesis and it was a side-scroller where you were a muscle-bound guy and I THINK you wandered to different coliseums or something to fight various bad guys? It was very hard and pretty graphic/bloody as well. Any ideas? Last Battle, maybe? The US version was edited from a Fist of the North Star game and had most of the violence removed, though.

PalmTreeFun posted:There was an arcade game in which you would lie down as if you were on a bobsled, and the screen was right above your face. You could steer it around, and you raced through tubes at high speeds, a la F-Zero GX. There were cool rumble and possibly tilt effects, so if you slammed into a wall or the like, you really got jerked around. It was a cool game, but I can't remember what it was called for the life of me. Could it be Tube Slider? It actually got a port to the Gamecube, if I'm recalling correctly.

Spermando posted:I'm looking for the name of a Game Boy platformer where you played as a little boy (I think he had a gun, but I might be misremembering it) in space who could upgrade into a robot space suit. Losing the upgrade changed the music to an irritating tune. The character sprites were very small. I can't remember a lot more... I'm thinking this one is the Adventures of Star Saver.

Here's one for you guys. I remember seeing a few screenshots/videos for a game that looked very similar to Cave Story and featured a cameo from Johnny Fiveaces. I'm 99% sure it was being developed by a goon. Was it even actually finished, whatever it was?

Fidde posted:Ok. This is a game I played as a kid. I think it was on the SNES but it could have been on the NES too. It was a platformer. You played as a little guy who spit stars (I think). Afterwards I suspected it was a Kirby game but after trying the SNES Kirby games none of them sparks my memory. Any chance it could be Cool Spot? The first stage is a beach with a ton of crab-like enemies.

Capsaicin posted:Japanese RPG. I remember playing it in the late 90s or maybe early 2000s. SNES or above. I just remember that there was a spell that caused a pyramid of what looked like flame to envelope enemies. I remember thinking that if the entire enemy could fit in it, it did more damage (obviously incorrect). I know Breath of Fire 2 has a spell with an effect that resembles that description, any chance it was that?

dads_work_files posted:I remember playing a game on the SNES when I was a kid which I always remembered as being part of the Lemmings series. Having looked at the games in that series I think I'm probably wrong. Each level was a single screen where creatures would drop out of a hatch at the top of the screen and walk down, like Lemmings, but the players controlled larger creatures, like the blocker Lemmings, and could block the smaller creatures from falling off cliffs etc. I think the levels looked a bit like Mario Bros or Joust, with platforms rather than terrain. Maybe Troddlers?

Jcam posted:There's a side-scrolling adventure game I vaguely remember from the early 90's, with static screens that had puzzles or things to manipulate similar to how Prince of Persia was laid out. I feel like it was set on a tropical island. You'd come across a gap that needed to be bridged and you'd come back later once you knocked a tree over or something, or you'd be a screen or two above an area and break something/drop it down to cause a path to open or defeat something. I remember there being jail cells that characters were in or something, looked to be made out of wood? Your character was short and chubby almost like Kirby I think. I'm fairly sure it was for NES or maybe very early SNES? I guess it could be early Genesis even maybe. Not a lot to go on, I know, I've been pouring through lists of NES and SNES games but have been coming up blank. This sounds like it could be Puggsy. Or Lester the Unlikely but the character description is way off for that.

I’ve definitely posted this in the thread before, but let’s give it another shot. Looking for a PC game (maybe mac?) I played in school sometime between 1995 and 1998. Literally all I can remember is that it was some sort of first person game where you are going through what I assume was a dungeon, and come across a black boot (kind of like a single rubber galosh) in the middle of the floor, filled with slime or ooze or something to that effect. I think a text box popped up stating it was full of slime if you clicked on it. I feel like I remember most of the play area being a tan or brown color? I can’t recall if it was an RPG, an adventure game, an educational game, or really anything about the gameplay at all. I distinctly recall it being 2D and kinda 16-bit looking, definitely not 3D or pre-rendered in any way. Oh, and I’m pretty sure the first person viewpoint area was a window and did not take up the full screen. It’s entirely possible I’m misremembering or conflating things in my memory, but man it’s killing me that I haven’t been able to find this dumb boot game for so long.

signalnoise posted:There's an old game called The Immortal that uses a frame for the gameplay area, is mostly brownish for a lot of the early levels, and one of the ways you can die is by rummaging through a pile of bones too far. Basically, you search the bones once and you find an item, and it asks you if you want to search again. If you do, a slime comes out and kills you instantly. You do need to have a way to deal with the slimes though, so you get some poo poo to rub on your boots to make you immune to INSTANT SLIME DEATH. Man, this fits a bunch of aspects and I'm beginning to wonder if little kid brain + several decades passing really blurred the details in my mind. The whole slime-proof boots situation really has me intrigued. Honestly unless a more convincing game comes along I'm just gonna say it was this to put my mind at ease. Thanks!
