Astro Fire. It's just Asteroids.

There's also an educational game I've been looking for for years, where all I remember is you have to repair a vending machine at one point, and the vending machine leaks green liquid.

Trying to find a game.

It was a PC educational game that taught the letters (possibly along with some other things), and for each letter they gave a word, and for k they used "kiss" and did a kissing animation.

As a kid I used to kiss the screen.

Altered Beast for the PS2. It's a remake of an arcade beat-em-up from the 80s. I fucking love this game, I got it when I was 12. It was my favorite game for a couple of years. I thought the monsters and the setting was so fucking cool. I replayed it recently and even though it was mostly nostalgia I had a fucking blast.

Oh man, I remember finding a webpage of these South Park Klick & Play fangames when I was about 11, and downloading all of them. I had like 50 of these games burned to a CD. "Cartman Leap" is the only one I can find any real evidence of these days, since someone uploaded a playthrough.

By the way, this is a pretty good youtube channel, if you want to do some old fangame archaeology. If you turn on captions, the guy leaves commentary.

Somehow every 9-11 year old went through the same experience. It must have been the webrings at the time, if you got access to one eventually you'd be lead down the rabbit hole and end up at the same end of the tunnel that every other kid ended up into. I did the same thing, had them burned onto CDs otherwise my shitton of games would be clogging up the family computer.

I think I got it as part of a promotional event or some shit. Was a surprisingly engaging game, remembering being pretty creeped out by it as a kid. It's a pretty crusty fucking game nowadays though. Hell, for 1997 it was already pretty crusty.

Anyone ever play this? I've never -ever- seen it referenced online, despite it being based on an existing property and a passable game.
It does kinda feel like a wasted concept, while the scenery is pretty mediocre and the UI is inexplicably huge, the character designs and animations are cool, combat and movement are satisfying, sound and music suite the action even if they're nothing special but the level and mission design are terrible, why would you make a game about a literally careless robot and have a third of the stages being escort missions in similar blocky settings?

Canis Canem Edit. Although it's actually quite good and even appeared in the news - though not because of glorification of violence, but because you can get the protagonist to flirt with other guys. Maybe it's because I don't live in an English speaking country, practically no one knows it here and I never see anyone writing about it on the internet. The world map of the game is still hanging on my closet wall.

There was a Mech and/or dude in Power Armor game I remember playing years ago. PC, Western Only. Late-1990s to early-2000s. Half-Life or so era of graphics. First person perspective where you were in a mech/a dude in Power Armor that could slide from side to side, do sommersaults, shoot, and attack others. I remember the first mission being in some sort of green canyon. I don't remember what it was called but I remember that level exactly. The cover looked like the dude was lifting his arm up to his head, as if he just destroyed something off screen and was resting his smoking cannon.

I remember that and even I don't remember what its called.
