Paging West Ham Sandwich, who was looking for Congo's Caper in the last one of these threads. Don't think my response was seen before the thread died.Lacool posted:My friend gave me this gave for Sega genesis, you were a kid with a soccer ball and the soccer ball was like your main weapon/device I think. The opening level was in a neighborhood with power lines and stuff and you would just walk right/left like a platformer, though I don't remember much jumping. Are you certain it was Genesis? It sounds a lot like Soccer Kid, which was ported to nearly every other console, but not Genesis.

First Time Caller posted:This one goes way back. It was a game or simulation or something for the Commodore 64, where you like, track the weather or something. I was like 6 at the time and had no fuckin idea how it worked but i thought it was cool as poo poo.  Couldn't find any gameplay screenshots, but this looks likely.

OneEightHundred posted:Ancient Mac shareware/freeware game, was some sort of tank combat game that was mainly oriented towards multiplayer, was 2D tile-based, and it had pillboxes. Probably the Mac incarnation of Bolo.

midge posted:I'm not sure if you are saying the answer was right or not. Your comment implies it was the wrong answer but looked like a rip off of the game you actually wanted. Huh? I thought the other guy was looking for Soccer Kid and I didn't know that this one existed.

Ms. Chanandler Bong posted:My memory of this is just so faint because I was so young, but it was an fps possibly with lasers, possibly set on the moon, released mid-early 90s, Doom time I guess. Worth a shot. Chex Quest is all of those things, and even runs on the Doom engine!

RedBox posted:When I was 7 or 8 years old (1992-1993) I was over a friend's house and played a really fun console game. I can't remember what system it was on, but it wasn't Nintendo. Might have been an uncommon system like neogeo or 3DO. Blue's Journey? TwinBee? Toilet Kids? Sexy Parodius? Super Fantasy Zone? Captain Tomaday? Star Parodier?

Vendetta77 posted:You're an intelligent man. I found Tengen on wikipedia and it had a list of their games. Note that Fantasy Zone got ported to NES twice by two different companies. That video is of the Sunsoft version. Tengen's unlicensed version came out later and is generally considered inferior. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwLB81_P_q4 \/ Yeah, but he linked the Sunsoft version. It's important to note the difference because the Tengen version is pretty disappointing. What if he tried to track down a copy without knowing? The horror!!

csidle posted:My father is looking to find a game he saw in a game store about 9-10 years ago. He describes it as having been a WW2 simulation, where you didn't participate in battles, but rather, you had a tactical map of Europe and/or the invasion of Normandy. You'd control how many soldiers and tanks to send to the various battles and so on. Anyone got a clue what the name might be? This could really be any game in the wargame genre, but maybe Hearts of Iron based on the age?

Yodzilla posted:First game I need remembering was a sitdown dune buggy racing game where you vehicle had a gun. Nothing fancy, just fired straight ahead sort of like Road Blasters but it was just used to slow down your opponents. If you got shot you felt it in your back as the chair you were sitting in would slam something into you. It was pretty drat neat. The game was entirely 2D as well if I recall correctly. Road Riot 4WD is a possibility here. Yodzilla posted:The second game is for a buddy of mine. He swears it's kind of like Chase H.Q. only there are two guys in the car and next to the steering wheel was a gun that you could fire. That's all I have to go off of though. This pretty much has to be Lucky & Wild. A FUCKIN CANARY!! fucked around with this message at 16:07 on Oct 28, 2010 |

The proper way to play Lucky & Wild was to have the left player focus on driving while the right player used both guns. No dice on the typing game, but in my searching I did discover that Mavis Beacon is in no way a real person. It's just a made up name and photos of random "professional" looking black women on the box. Mind blown.

FelixMeOneMoreTime posted:SHMUP where you could choose between four or five ships, each with different stats and attack type. The first level you were flying over trees and maybe a river, and it seemed relatively intense in terms of the number of bullets - not as many as Ikaruga or Touhou, I think it was comparable to Jamestown possibly. The graphics were really nice sprites, like the quality of 2D sprites on the PS1. If it helps at all in identifying it, it was in the big arcade on the Las Vegas strip. I think your best bet is going to be going down the list of reviews over at SHMUPS! and looking for anything that seems familiar. Dimahoo? Gunbird? It really could be anything.
