There was this adventure game that I had as shareware DOS game. It was made entirely out of clay (if I remember correctly). You played as a dragon, but I think that was just the demo and they were other stories with other characters. All I remember was that there was a house with a gingerbread man that you could visit by boat.

There was this Windows FPS game that featured both person-to-person gunfights as the ability to mount Mechs. Strangely enough I think I can remember the name of the first level/mission in the game - "Silence before the storm". That's all I can tell about it, really.

Sodomy Non Sapiens posted:This is an extreme long shot. What I'm looking for here isn't a game so much as a tech demo. I think that it was packaged in with a GeForce 2 card years and years ago. You started as a dolphin underwater swimming around with all these other dolphins, but then if you swam fast and jumped out of the water, you transformed into a bird and could fly around. Diving as the bird back into the water transformed you back into a dolphin. Can it be just a demo to show the power of the card?

All the way down the first post are some benchmarks for GeForce 2 cards.

HinderedUseless posted:I'm trying to remember an old Star Trek game. Basically you wandered around the ship trying to solve a mystery (the exact nature of which I don't remember). I do remember that you type in complete sentences and the game had a pretty robust dialogue tree. I'm not sure if this is enough information, but someone has to remember this game. I honestly don't mean to offend you, but perhaps you're thinking of Space Quest?

Ez posted:I remember seeing a game in Wal Mart back when I was about 10 or so (so about 11 years ago). It was a PC game that had something to do with caves that had giant crystals in them, which somehow either held naked women inside them, or at least had something to do with naked women. It sounds like either Duke Nukem 3D or Shadow Warrior. It'd help if you could tell us if it was 2D or 3D.

You're close, it's called Tubular Worlds. Now we're on it, I remember a game I played a while ago. It was a Windows game, and a bit of a mix between RPG and an action shooter if I remember it correctly. You had power ups, and one of them was Ra. I believe this one damaged the enemy by a huge solar ray from above. The game was from a top-down perspective, and I remember I gave up on the game at some point where I was stuck in a level/map where there was a park, and a magic shop you had to enter one way or another. It's all really vague in my memory though.

Bob Smith posted:I remember renting a couple of games for the Genesis which I have since forgotten the names of. One was a Mario Kart clone which had "cool" characters, I remember there being an Elvis character and a biker and so on. One of the tracks I think was an airfield, and you could see hangars in the background. The other was a platform game where you played as a variety of animals, one of which (I think it was the main character) was an elephant, and it had a circus theme. Can anyone help with remembering them? The first game sounds like a PC game called Wacky Wheels, or perhaps Skunny Kart. The second one you mention might be Rolo to the Rescue. quote:Similarly, I remember a couple of old PC games I played round my grandparents, but not their titles. One was a point-and-click adventure where you could choose to start at one of several "chapters," and it was on loads of CDs. The art style was very Disney-cartoon and it may have had animated cutscenes. I remember one room had a giant scorpion in it, and you controlled a princess-like woman. To get past the scorpion you had to do something very quickly or it grabbed you. Sounds a bit like Toonstruck, but I think that's only 2 CDs and I don't think it has anything to do with any princess. quote:The second was a sort of extreme sport football game where your players had rollerblades and there were weapon pickups on the pitch like a stun missile and a mine, as well as spike traps and ramps and things. The pitch was a sort of bowl-shape with the best items at the top of the bowl and the traps in the middle. It was very basic 3D, as far as I can remember. I know exactly what game you're talking about because that game took me years to track down. Sadly, I forgot the name.

Rock 'N Roll Racing, perhaps? quote:Rolo to the Rescue is definitely right though, I remember only getting to play it once but it was pretty good. drat hard too.

All I really can remember about it is you could practice hand to hand combat (with holograms?) in your apartment. Well it certainly isn't a shooter, but it sounds like Omikron: The Nomad Soul.

These Loving Eyes posted:1) A 2D platformer from early 90s for PC in which the screen doesn't scroll and instead you move from one screen to next. The main character is some stubby secret agent with sunglasses and a brown hat. There was possibly some alien invasion the player was trying to stop. I also remember that in the intro there was this brown hat falling down slowly, maybe some lightning strikes or UFOs and the agent himself. I think most if not all maps took place at night. The graphics were something like in the first Duke Nukem games (the platformers). Sounds like Secret Agent or Dangerous Rick.   quote:2) Also from early 90s and for PC. Some sort of top-down shooter in which you control a space ship that has to stay within platforms that float in space. The platforms had differences in height I think. Here's a crappy pic I made: That's must be SkyRoads. edit: sorry, that's not top-down.

Cobweb Heart posted:2. Very old game for MS-DOS. I barely remember anything about this and don't expect to find it. You played as a guy, I think teenage or college-age. I think you were fighting against aliens, although I don't remember any of the actual action, so it might have been a puzzle game or something. At one point (or maybe the whole game, I dunno), you collected soda cans. I remember the graphics being pretty primitive, but the level I can remember had a rather distinctive layout - I recall being underground. This has got to be Commander Keen.

The Supreme Court posted:Trying to remember a 2D platformer from aaaaages ago. You were a kid with a slingshot and most of the enemies were zombies. Pretty sure it was surprisingly bloody when you hit a zombie, too. I think the first level was in woods (and you completed it by finding a broomstick and flying across?), later levels were in underground caves and the final level I ever got to was inside a house. The dismembered hands crawling towards you were bastards! Monster Bash

This is some Amiga/Lynx game. It has small sprites, it's a platformer, and (some of) it takes place in a forest. It's not giana sisters and it doesn't even look like it. Sadly, that's all I can remember.

I looked around and can only find "Flower, Sun, and Rain" which I don't think is it! I think I'm thinking of an RPG. It's a long stretch, but could it be Ghost Trick?
