There was this SNES game I played once when I was a kid, Not entirely sure if it was NES or SNES but I'm inclined to SNES.

Game Cover: Bald, shaolin monk looking kind of fighter guy with orange pants (hot colors) with a bead necklace perhaps and he's looking up to the sky in an action scene or something.

Gameplay: Sidescroller, he looked fatter in the game, the level layout sort of reminds me of castlevania, shoots fireballs out of his hands and you could get upgrades that gave you wings (the only one I remember)

There was a boss fight in the game involving a tyrannosaurus rex and the boss arena would be in a leveled down terrain once he appeared on screen.

That's all I remember, I've thought about this game many times over the past few years, please tell me someone knows this one.

You play a toy wandering around a house shooting other toys. One of the toys/ships is a humanoid mecha with lasers, another is a biplane/triplane with missiles. Player 2 can plug in as a floating reticule that shoots stuff. Played it around 1998/99.

Visiting from >>822241

Fingers crossed that someone can help here:

Played a side scrolling shooter for hours as a kid in the same arcade section of a restaurant that housed Golden Axe and TMNT game. Don't remember it's name.

It had pretty good graphics. The first level was organic looking, much like R-type. As it progressed, the tunnel shifted up and the camera tracked up, leading to a miniboss or boss fight that was what looked like a spherical moon or asteroid with a mouth that you had to shoot until the outer shell was damaged. Also, there was a power up transformed the ship into a more humanoid or mech like form (though I seem to remember the base ship as being vaguely humanoid to begin with). No later than 1993.

Any ideas would be appreciated. It's been bothering me for months. Thanks in advance.

Not actually a game I played, but I've been trying to find it for years. Saw it on the back of an old PC game manual.

It was a view of like a small planet with visible houses etc, it was made of dry, infertile soil, there was lightning and other natural disasters going on. I think the background was swirling brown, and the title started with "Poly-" or some other P word.

Looked like a B&W-type civilization game from far.

I keep asking about this one but nobody seems to know. Whelp, here goes again...

An older 90's DOS FPS game. Probably 93-96 in that ballpark, or at least when I played it. It was a demo/shareware that puts you in a small compound of buildings out in the forest or something. You could enter one or a few more of the buildings. There was either a decent amount of fog, or the draw distance just sucked. Graphics from what I remember were not really cartoony.

The only weapon I remember you getting in the demo was some sort of gun that trapped enemies in a sort of goop. The most descriptive thing I can remember about this game is that when you died, it showed a picture of your body with a caption saying something like "Your body was found sometime later with a note on it saying 'Stop wasting my time with these sissy-men!'".

I got this demo in the mail from an old subscription called Software of the Month Club, if that helps any.

Probably an easy one but i dont know it:

This has been bothering me for a long time, so I'm going to ask if you have any idea what this game is. There was this game I used to play on the PC a long time ago, maybe somewhere around 1992-1996 (sorry I can't remember more specifically, and I'm not sure if it came out around that time or was older). It was a top down space shooter game, and from what I remember you basically just fought against 3 other ships and the camera was fixed in the one location. I think you could buy upgrade between battles and stuff like that. For some reason I thought it was Star Control but after looking it up it isn't. Do you have any ideas what this game could be?

The background doesn't move, the arena you're in, is the whole stage. You could like select from 8 (or whatever number) of ships and you'd fight 1-3 of those ships in a match and each ship had it's own special abilities if I remember correctly.

A PC game of a first-person dungeon crawler. I definitely remember that one of the spells was a giant glowing outline of a hand that would slap from side to side, then make a fist and pound the ground. I think one of the bosses was an old hag woman in a robe.

I played it for only a few moments at a friend of my parent's house, but I was amazed and started to get more involved in gaming as a result.

((This picture is not a screenshot of the videogame, but the perspective is similar, aside from depth))

TL;DR, Retro 2D computer game where you manage a house and its inhibitants, with a vague similarity to The Sims, but probably made earlier.

I've been searching for this game for a long time. I played it maybe 12-15 years ago. Perhaps this will be the time I finally find the game.

It was a 2D sims-like game (though definitely not any iteration of The Sims, or even by Maxis), which showed a flat cross section of a 3-story house (not including the attic), as if you were looking at it from the street and someone chopped off the front half of the house with a horizontal line cut running parallel to the street.

There were a few (4? 5?) characters in the house which you could assign to do various things around the house, including work around the house and directing them to where you could play minigames. They could move left to right, and I think up and down floors.

Graphically, it was all well drawn in a cute, kid-like style with similar kidlike dimensions/proportions for all characters, even the adults. The animation was minimal and limited to the characters and objects directly being manipulated, if I recall correctly. There were either a number of different houses you could choose from, or you could customize and decorate the houses to your choosing.

It had quite a lot to do, and I think it was point and click but it may have had more controls than that, I don't exactly remember. I don't think it was based on a strict calendar/time mechanic like Animal Crossing, but I think days and nights were generally differentiated and would pass with various consequences.

If any of this rings a bell, and the game you're thinking of is a PC game made around 15-25 years ago, give me a shout, I really appreciate any guesses at all, I've been wanting to revisit this game for a long while. Thank you for reading.

There was this PC Game, it run poorly on my 386 back in the day. It had space ships on vast green fields with escort missions, destroy the base and the such.

The game was extremely polygonal, almost no textures. You could choose from many ships and do some customization. There was two types of shot, the everyday laser blast and a cannon shot. You had controls for altitude, speed and everything.

There was a skirmish mode if I'm not mistaken with your team being majorly green while the enemies were red-shaded.

It was one of those shitty little games on those old game downloaders like RealArcade or Big Fish Games. It was an RTS, where you had a certain amount of points allocated. You could spend these points on a few different troops, I remember there was a buggy that had a suicide attack, a tank that could go into artillery mode like in Starcraft, and a SCUD launcher. It also had a great map editor that I never really made anything with, but loved to play around with.

Windows 95 or 98. DOS, I think. SINGLE level on screen. You collected hearts... or diamonds ? You used bombs or something; you might have been a dwarf.

It was a puzzle/logic game, if you did something wrong you weren't able to collect everything. I've been looking for it since I was a child and my memories are hazy. I can't for the love of God remember anything else, not even whether it had genuine platforming elements or no.

It was a game (I believe to be) on the Super NES, or probably Super Famicom. It got coverage in an American video game magazine, at least. Visually, it was 2D.

The plot, I want to say, was something sort of like a technological Alice in Wonderland, but I could be wrong. It was a weird lab where you actually went into a girl's dreams to fight evil. It was not super-deformed or anything. I never actually played it, but it always just stuck out in my head as something that looked interesting. It was dark for the time, if anything.

Been asking about this one for years- nobody knows.

Apple game?

You are a guy on a Mario Bros./Burger Time-like board. You walk around up and down the ladders and on the platforms carrying a wand while the enemies come after you. You have the ability to zap your wand down on the platform creating a hole to trap the enemy, but it takes multiple zaps. If an enemy falls into the hole, you can zap it and destroy it. The game's title had something to do with Halloween.

Ok, this one will be very very hard because I have little memory of the game, but here we go.

The game was for the xbox... I think. It may have been for the ps2 or gamecube (now you are beginning to understand how bad my memory of this game is). Well I'm not very good at articulation so GREEN TEXT

Hi guys, so I'm looking for a game I played about 8 or 10 years ago on PC. It was a side scroll platformer. You have to jump over obstacles and avoid fire and gas that was bursting out of pipes. The main character was green and kinda alienish I think. Only thing I know fo' sure was that he screamed like a mothafucka when something hit him, or when he died. He looked like Abe, from abe's odyssee. Yeah guys, hope you help me. Been looking for this game for like six years.

A Turn-based Strategy game for the PC, probably at least 10 years old

You control a few mechs on a hexagonal(?) grid and try to destroy the enemies on the other side

There was no basebuilding or First-person mode, but I think you could upgrade your mechs in between battles

I was a faggot and didn't check the catalog before I posted so my thread was closed but here is the OP:

The game I can't remember is related somewhat to the picture I posted, it's basically a blatant ripoff of Putt-Putt. You played as a little red buggy who is on a quest to find 3 (I think) missing spark plugs for your friend or else they were going to turn him into scrap (or crushed). At the start the main character is skipping stones on a river that's filled with car parts. I remember the main character had a baseball cap and a little flag on his antenna while the friend he was trying to save was kind of a fat nerd personified as a car. I remember encountering some frankenstein car that lived in a haunted garage and some diva car that you had to beat a maze to get to. I also recall some really fun car painting section... also you get to change your friend's oil at some point.

I have been scouring the internet using any words relating to this game I can think of, I was hoping I wouldn't have to come here at all but you are my last hope, if anyone knows the name of this piece of my childhood, please say , I'd really really appreciate it.

Super Nintendo game.

The game starts with a man telling his story, how he met a woman who robbed a bank. He knew she was bad news but went with her anyway.

The whole game is a series of slide puzzles like in pic related, the first one you assemble is one where they're driving the getaway car from the bank.

It wasn't the best game, but the song in the first level was amazing. I'd like to hear it again.

There was an SNES game I played as a child. It seemed pretty grim at the time, but looking back, it was just killing robots or some enormous crustacean looking aliens.

It was an overhead shooter with a 2 player option and I remember the background being a black grid with green outlines. There were powerups to change your gun's pattern.

I vividly remember an early cinematic with "scientists" being scared off by some aliens. The first "boss" was, as mentioned earlier, a huge crustacean looking thing.

I know it's a pretty vague description, but I was no older than 11 when I played it and I never got past much after the first boss.

No problemo.

Operation Logic Bomb is a massively underrated SNES shooter. What made it so clever is that every additional gun and item not only helps you overcome the enemies, but each one is also used like a key in unique puzzles. It really helped the feel of progression.

I just saw your description while browsing and knew the answer, I've beaten 5000+ games I should probably look in these threads once in a while heh.

I literally spent 30 minutes searching for what you meant. I'm convinced now that there isn't any SNES puzzle game with exclusively sliding puzzles. Is there a chance it was a Japanese release only?

I don't think it was a japan release, unless someone translated it. I played it in english.

I remember it was exclusively slide puzzles because the first one took me a half hour to solve (because I am an idiot) and I thought the next level would be something different. But, it was another similar puzzle.

It could be, that maybe it was a european release? I dunno. Regardless, you deserve a medal for looking, dude. Thank you kindly.

Just out of curiosity, how did you know what game it was? Years of wondering and nostalgia gave me a weird conception of what the game actually looked like. It's undoubtedly Operation Logic Bomb, but my description was quite different than the game.

RTS game. 2d isometric.

Played on W95/98.

Fantasy setting, RPG elements (units become stronger the more they fight).
You have to grow a lot of crops - food is depleting in real time, every unit uses it, so big armies use more and if I remember correctly - die if there is no food.
That's the biggest detail I remember about it - food management.

Dos adventure platformer. You're in a castle and have to kill monsters and solve puzzles to proceed in a metroid style manner. I think the main char might have been a wizard of some kind?

I played it a lot on my old windows 3.1 computer when I was a kid, but can't remember the name of it or much about it. There was another game I had called Clyde which was vaguely similar.

Looking for a fantasy-themed platformer for Sega Genesis. When I say fantasy, I mean, it's like some kinda magical realm with weird creatures and stuff.

The first level you go up a hill (or mountain?), and the music sounds pretty new-age.

I'm sorry, this is all I remember.

A very old arcade game where you're a ninja. I played it when I was very young, so I remember very little, only that it was very clearly a platformer. And, that at some point, you drop down a well or something, to an area where a large ball wearing a ninja mask is kinda just bouncing around the room, and you keep shooting shurikens at it until it explodes.

I recall something similar...except the character was sent to the moon and if I recall the red car has a pet dog. Used to play it all the time in grade school. Sorry I don't know the name.

There were two games I recall from my youth. One was on SNES and you played this samurai looking guy and as you progressed you got a sword (which you lost upon getting hit.) and a shuriken that flew around you. I could never get past the two dragons boss.

The second game I believe was on Sega Genesis. You played as a yellow tank thing that could shoot in three directions. It could jump and the game was a side scrolling type.

This is a bit of a weird request since I haven't played the game myself, but remember hearing descriptions of it that sounded interesting but I completely forgot the name of it. All I remember is that it was some sort of computer game in which the final boss is a skeleton and the music that played while fighting him was basically droning noise, along the lines of Sunn O))) or something similar. It's probably impossible for anyone to know based on those sparse details, but you never know.

No, not oxyd, it was played with the keyboard or gamepad. I think at least some of the levels had a space setting. Like I said, I remember the ball being purple ... or some shade of blue, possibly grey. I believe the way the movement worked - your position gravitated to tile centres, and the ball fit one tile.

This was an arcade game at a pizza place from my childhood, so I'm not sure how good my memory of it is.

It was a first person view fighting game, but you didn't have much control of movement, you were sort of on-rails and baddies would run up to you filling up the screen. Near the beginning you were on a subway and guys would smash their way in through the windows, but you could punch/stab them and send them flying back out.

That's about all I can remember of it now.

IBM PC. Late 80s or early 90s.
You manage a train which can contain railcars with soldiers or artillery, or cargo cars which contain mammoth pelts and things like that. It's a post-apocalyptic glacial wasteland where you fight off train bandits. The opening cutscene has a mammoth-head train, or at least my memory thinks it was.

Any idea?

Early PC game, may have been VGA graphics.

You're on another planet and have mining vehicles and ore processors, and you MAY fight other dudes, can't remember. Each turn the terrain changes and sometimes the ground you're on disappears and you're in the ocean or somewhere else, and you lose the units when that happens... I think there were 2 different types of metal to harvest. Now that I think about it, it seems like a pretty cruel game tactic to change the terrain every turn, I think the reason they do that is to show the "alien nature" of the water level rising... and another random fact was one of the little dudes you control looked like a crab.

Okay, this is a tough one:

An edutainment game from the 90's with 3D graphics where you controlled an avatar that ran around collecting tickets to purchase new avatars. Some of them were like mechas, animals, whatever. I have no idea what the name or the goal was, maybe walking around some theme park? I just remember the ticket/coin/whatever collecting to get the new costumes or whatever.

It's like a sci-fi survival game. It's kind of top down like baldur's gate 2.
Takes place on a colony or a space station.
you control the crew like "Commandos"
and there were aliens trying to kill you.
You could pick up and use random things to fight, like fire extinguishers, remotes, guns
There was a medbay you could bring guys to to heal.

I've got one. It was basically like Doom, a first person "shooter" except you fought aliens with math problems. You'd approach a monster and you'd solve a problem to kill it. It was the same thing for opening certain locked doors or acquiring items, I think. My memory's really hazy on it though, haven't played it since I was a kid. My dad used to have to help me on some of the tougher geometry or trig problems cause I was in elementary school at the time. Surprisingly fun game though. I want to say it's called Mathblaster or something, but I don't think that's right.

It was either for the N64 or PS1, probably N64, where you play as a fox with a sword or something. The first level is a pirate ship, and after that, you get an axe and go to some lava place. That's all I remember of the game.

I've got two games.

One of them i'm sure most of you played. In the early-mid 90's it was a 2D game and you wandered around multiple levels of a building collecting parts to create vehicles and you would race these vehicles against the bad guy. The bad guy I think had white crazy mad scientist hair. That's really all I can remember.

The other one.... shit, it was around the same time period. But I can't remember shit about it. You would build vehicles and they would look 3D and you would have to balance the engines vs the weight of the vehicle, and you could build cars and airplanes, maybe boats, I can't remember. You might have had to race them, too. It had a more realistic look to it from what I remember.

What was that game that came free on a lot of computers with something like Windows 95 or Windows 98?
