Ballrawg posted:I can't remember if I asked this in an older version of the thread, but there was this multi-disk psx game that was a 2d platformer where you're playing as a small boy trying to rescue his dog from aliens. The only other thing I can remember is the part in the opening scene where he sees his dog being brought into another dimension or something. Does anyone remember this from the vague things I remember about it?

Pinky posted:First was some strange early online game. I think it was freeware, or maybe there was a demo of it. Anyways, in this game you constructed an island. This island could fly. You could also attack all sorts of weapons to it. Spikes and cannons and things. Anyways the more stuff you added the heavier and slower your island got. You were supposed to fly your island around and battle other peoples islands. I wish I knew more about it than this, but I am positive that they were fighting islands. I remember always building a small fast island with ramming spikes. It was so fun. I hope someone here knows what Im talking about because Id love to play it again.

Scravo posted:1) A Rube Goldberg-esque puzzle game where you have to rig up devices in order to assist either a cat or a mouse in achieving its goal. Some of the harder puzzles got pretty mind-bending, and it was fun just using the level editor to see all of the different animations.

Earthkrash posted:So this was a very, very old star wars game you could play on DOS or something. The very first mission is on Tatooine for some sort of training camp in a canyon followed by some asteroid field mission I think. It's a starship game, being a pilot and owning stuff. Anybody knows?

Naughty McGee posted:There was this one game that's been on my mind for a long time. I want to say it was from the early-mid 90s, and I played it at a friends house. All I remember about it was that you piloted a ship on the surface of a planet and then you could fly down tunnels, that, if I recall correctly, eventually brought you out to the other side of the planet.

Buh posted:Another PC game I can remember from the early 90's. It was a 2D shoot 'em up where your goal was to rescue humans from aliens. Most of the humans looked like Elvis or Marilyn Monroe. Your main weapon was a flamethrower, but using it would deplete your jetpack. You also had rockets and grenades. There were four levels, one of which was the alien ship, one was the street of New York. Your basic alien was a puddle of green slime, other aliens were green humanoids with grotesquely distorted heads and bodies. You got ammo and new weapons from vending machines.

Schizo posted:After obsessing over Manufactoria for most of an hour, it made me remember a similar game that was incredibly popular here about 5 or 6 years ago. It was a PC game but could have easily been done in Flash, and involved bouncing lasers off mirrors and prisms and through various gizmos so they'd change colors and hit all of the correct targets in the level.

It was a very lightweight game and I think had a paid version with a bazillion levels, but I could be wrong on the last part.

9999DMG posted:Okay, this looks like the thread to ask a question. I saw footage of a game recently, and I didn't see the name of the game anywhere. I'm almost certain it's a Wii game, probably never released outside of Japan. It's a cooking game where you're cooking in a Japanese restaurant, and have to complete a variety of tasks. These tasks range from chopping vegetables and filling a beer glass, to stuff like killing roaches and dialing a number on a rotary phone. The graphics style was very cartoony, the whole thing was in Japanese, and I have no idea what it's called. Does anyone have the slightest idea what I'm talking about?

Octaviar Polexa posted:I can't remember the name of an otherwise unremarkable retro graphics platformer that screwed with its players by breaking the game in subtle ways that varied from player to player, based on a number it calculated from stuff like your windows username. This resulted in players complaining about bugs that others weren't experiencing, including not being able to make the very first jump of the game. This was explained by the developer a while.

singe posted:There used to be a DOS game I played where you're a female futuristic fighter pilot, and they'll be missions where you go through city streets killing other planes, and they also had night levels where you can turn on a green infrared type thing. In between the missions they had these cutscenes that gave you sort of a plot. I think you get shot and get revived and become a cyborg.

We brought up games like Kirby and Megaman, but then I remembered some game where you can take enemies heads and wear them yourself. It was kind of cartoony and I remember it being on the PC. Does anyone remember this game?

Really wild guess: Lands of Lore II? It was released five years later than Darklands though, so it's probably not what you are looking for.

Tome posted:Uhm, I'm trying to remember an old shareware adventure game. I think it was horror-themed, but still aimed at kids. It was a side-scroller deal where you played as a kid trying to rescue his dog who's been kidnapped (I think??). I think you would fight skeletons and ghouls with a slingshot, but don't hold me to that. A few of the locations you'd visit would be crypts with rusty spearheads around as environmental traps. I'm fairly certain that I remember getting it on a shareware disc with a few Commander Keen games, as well as a few other Isometric shooters (Probably Wolfenstein).

PantsBandit posted:The other I remember more vividly. It was this game where you would control characters on a board made up of hexagons and would fight the computer when two characters met. There was a character named quicksilver, a guy riding a hoverbike or something who could kill himself as an attack and a farting rhino.

I'm sure the game was named something like Dr. Fandango (Not this but similar) and it involved driving your character around europe buying up properties and using trick cards on your opponents such as putting sugar in their fuel tanks etc. It was turn based and it was awesome and I want to play it!

Top Hat posted:For years I've been trying to remember the name of a 2D side-scrolling flight game from the 90's for PC. From what I remember you could choose from a large range of planes or helicopters and there would be varying missions where you had to blow up some base or rescue people or put out a fire maybe. It's similar to Wings of Fury or Flying Ace but as for more specifics I can't remember.

It's possible in Real Lives to start a game and die from some lethal disease and such before you even get to take your first turn, which I guess is more likely to happen when you're born in some third-world hellhole like the demo forces you to. Purely from the perspective of playing a game it's kind of funny when that happens, but, well, even so it probably shouldn't be.

) It was an adventure game of some kind. The main character, I think, was a young woman, and could ride on a dragon. It was for the PC and I played it like 8 years ago or so. There was a big valley with a mountain range around it in what I was playing (The demo) and caves with orcs and other such monsters in them which you could fight off with a sword.
