Naman posted:Not getting my hopes up, but I vaguely remember this arcade game in about the early '90s that had this green living planetoid thing with like... a trunk, and it and the accompanying music creeped me out big time as a kid. 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.

nominal posted: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. That could be The Speed Rumbler. Here's a video of it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5JvkTEPx34I

Sweeper posted:I know this is an old thread, but I can't remember the name of a game! It is an old racing game where you flew flying car type of things and one of the tracks looked like it was in egypt or something. The flying car racing is what I remember the most. Also, it was in 3d, not 2d. Can you tell us what type of system it was on (computer, console, arcade, etc)? Also, give us a more specific time frame if you can, even if all you can do is narrow it down to a decade.

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. That sounds kinda like Gunstar Heroes.

Brut posted:Ok so it was a first person shooter, it was mostly set ourdoors and at night, the later levels had a creepy constant owl sound playing in the background, and I think the final boss was some sort of massive amount of...ducks or chickens coming out of a spaceship. This was on the PC, I think on windows 95 but I'm really not sure. That sounds like it could be Redneck Rampage.

Babs Johnson posted:Trying to remember a console driving game I played at a friends house in 1998 or so, either on Nintendo 64 or Playstation I think. It had this stunt driving mode which was the only one we played, driving around this bizarre arena trying to do stunts off of weirdly shaped gray and blue structures. Hitting the weird shapes and ramps at different angles would send your car flying off in a combination of flips and rotations and rolls etc, and the game would flash points on the screen based on how many stunts you could combine in one. If I remember right it had car damage, so the stunts would gently caress up your car until it exploded or stopped working. Then you would respawn and do more stunts. It was definitely one of the funnest games I've ever played. San Francisco Rush 2049 possibly?

Captain_Obvius posted:I'm trying to remember a game, I remember very little about it besides the fact that it was about dinosaurs; I think you played as a human/caveman I'm not sure if you time traveled or not. It is at least 12-14 years old at this point. It was definatley a console game though i don't remember which; sega? original nintendo? super nintendo? Your character moved from left to right like in mario- although the game might have auto moved you along if you waited for too long (not sure). Finally i think you shot stuff and I remember it being little brown/beige balls. Can anyone help me out here? I know I haven't told you much but if you give me a list of old dinosaur games I can research it on my own. Thanks. There's the Bonk series, Bignose the Caveman, Joe and Mac (aka Caveman Ninja in Europe), Joe and Mac 2, Congo's Caper, the later stages of EVO the Search for Eden, and the Adventure Island series.

It isn't any of the Repton ones though, they seem to have a man rather than a character that looks like Kirby. As many games as are there, I don't actually see the one I'm thinking of on that list This page has another list of similar games. One named Rock 'n' Roll on this page: http://www.bd-fans.com/CommercialWindows.html sounds like it could be it. Cavern on http://www.bd-fans.com/CommercialMSDOS.html also has fungus in it.

Drunk Tomato posted:This game came on a demo disc bundled with an XBOX magazine in about 2005ish. From what I remember, it was a 1st-person historical war shooter. The thing I remember most was that it was ridiculously gruesome. You could shoot at corpses and completely tear apart the bodies, removing guts and limbs and everything. It was actually pretty shocking how gory this game was. Anybody know what I'm talking about?

Beardless Riker posted:I'm looking for the name of a game I used to play on 3.1. It was a 2d overhead view of a dungeon, the graphics of the corridors were very basic (like minesweeper) and you just moved around the empty spaces with the arrow keys. Walking around you might reveal the stairs down to the level below (which looked the same except for the layout maybe) where the monsters were harder, and then you just repeated that and I think it may have only gone 10 levels. You would also randomly (I think) run into monsters that would bring up a battle screen which was half a picture of the monster and the other was your stats and commands to run, attack, or talk. You made money as you went and could run back up to a shop on a higher level to upgrade your gear and to heal. It could be Castle of the Winds or Mordor: http://www.mobygames.com/game/mordor-the-depths-of-dejenol

Arrhythmia posted:There was this platformer, it would have been in the 90's, for PC. It was about this kid who was terrified of everything, and you had to go through the levels to find these shadows, but it would turn out that they weren't things to be terrified of, just people from the character's life. I remember my cousin also told me about this cartoon she saw that had the same name as it, which the game was probably based off of. The kid also used a yo-yo to attack. Nightmare Ned, or maybe one of the Pajama Sam games?

I remember getting a short way into the game every time and happening upon a fall of brown rocks and a little waterfall and pool area and getting stuck. If I recall coorectly, it was because every time you checked out the water some kind of fairies or will o wisps came out and kicked my rear end. My memory is probably faulty as hell, but I've been trying to remember this game for something like 15 years now. Swords and Serpents, Wizardry, Wizardry 2, Pool of Radiance, or The Bard's Tale?
