My game is an SNES game that I played in 1994. It was a side scroller that involved running from the top left to the bottem right of the screen. Also, your littler dude had to collect the playing card symbols (clubs, spades, diamonds, hearts) in order to get credit for beating the level. Any idea what the hell this is?

you either control a dragon or a guy on a dragon (really tiny), and fly around and.. kill other dragons (AI). there's a bunch of levels that get more complicated (eventually there's stuff that kills you i think.. i.e. lava etc).. you could get chain points (i think you kill other dragons by bouncing on them? or possibly some sort of bullets that bounce.. so if you bounce off one into another, you'd get extra points) my memory fails =( | ||

Easier one is a NES game with the light gun i think you shot mostly stationary targets such as a naked chick on a torture rack and other gory stuff like that. | ||

I believe that was a port of Chiller for the arcade though I haven't played either game. Bloody though~ My games~ This was on the old Apple II I think, I played it when I was 7 or 8 or something. You move around a submarine shooting ink pellets and sealife and solving MATH problems \o/ Another game but slightly newer, also on the Mac, was where you started off in a carnival and win a doll from a shooting gallery or something but then you wake up on a beach and have to solve puzzles. | ||

it was an old game, for the regular nintendo. I think you were a kid in the game (i am not sure). it was a side scroller. you had a ton of different abilities you could use, or maybe you were transforming into things. one of the abilities/transformations involved a tornado. I know that is almost nothing to go off of, so good luck. | ||

Second game was wwii game about American planes in the pacific where the plane had an option of bombs rockets or torpedo and had to kill everyone on an island and then a few carriers that was a PC game. and the third game was also for a PC where a player could be either android some dragon or dinosaur or a robot that looked looked like a tank. The last two games were like 1993-1997 | ||

Two games from genesis: 1: A 2-player co-op game wherein there were a lot of bosses, the final boss iirc had an 8-pack and on the way to him you would like fly upwards/vertically. Protagonists were humans iirc, and I THINK you could have a variety of guns i'm really not sure about anything. It was really contra-like in gameplay, I guess it could be contra but i think the actual contextual setting of this game is a bit different. OH YEAH there was a dragon that was made up of many parts and youd have to shoot his head to damage him but he'd constantly go underneath the screen etc (kinda like underwater sea dragon enemy in megaman). sorry for my shitty description 2: I can't remember much but it was a co-op as well, and you can call for help like summons. Protagonists were humans in a contemporary/urban setting, and summons would be like you can summon a police car off-screen to shoot a rocket launcher into your screen etc. it was crazy. You can get pipes and beat the shit out of people also. I'm inclined to believe this was a very popular, well known game. | ||

It was a soccer game for some sort of Nintendo IIRC where you could only play as Japan. You controlled one guy the rest was on AI. Each of your players as well the opposing teams had a special super shot, like transforming the ball into something. The whole game was really cartoonish with all sorts of funny stuff (on certain fields lightning would randomly strike players, or a tornado blow them off the field, or idle players sinking in the mud etc.) The game consisted of 2 phases, first you could play 4 teams of each 4 regions (something like Asia, Africa, America, Europe) and if you have won enough games, you got to the world cup. Could somebody help me find it? I used to have this game on a console thing but it doesn't work anymore. | ||

Ok so it's an old PC game, shareware I think, looked early 90s, I think it was called 'Knights of X' or 'Warriors of x'. Basically it was a beat em up game (1v1, 2v2), the graphics were awful, but all teh chracters were pretty different, and the highlight of the game was this big 32 player bloodbath thing which made absolutely no sense at all. Characters included floating eyes, knights with swords, horses... etc... It was sideview, but your character could move up/down (similar to streets of rage) Ehr... I really want to find this game again. If it's any help I got it from a CD compilation called '2001 game' | ||

2d Arcade game with 3d-like space where you could go up, down, forward and back. You could also duck and probably jump too. You could have different weapons : rifle, rocket launcher...? The setting was mostly on streets(street lamps, garbage bins at least that's what I remember. You could destroy garbage bins which contained energy or something, can't remember correctly. | ||

You could pick up kinda metroid-like power ups that would let you revisit older levels and find other power-ups as well. Midway through the game you lose a robot to an explosion in a tunnel, but it gets replaced. Its 8 or 16 bit, but my guess is that its on Genesis/Masterdrive. The only game this reminds me of is Robotrek. I'm a bit fuzzy on the details of the game myself, so I'm not quite sure on it. Worth a shot, though. | ||

I was wondering what game this is - Made around '90-'93'ish, although I'm sure there's many iterations of it. You clear level after level, where you try to get a ball from one part of screen to the other, by placing/constructing contraptions on the screen so that when you press "start", the ball starts to drop, rolls along your stuff you placed, or if you placed a spring it bounces, etc and the goal is to "design" the parts for the level so that the ball ends up @ the goal. I'm not sure if it was a ball but I remember that the object of the game was this design process of placing these thingies, and the only thing that makes sense would be a ball. Think of it like a rudimentary physics simulator-ish thingy. It was pretty colorful iirc, reds and blues, yellows etc. I played it on the mac but I'm sure there was a PC version as well. | ||

What was different was that you moved the pieces like regular chess pieces, but when you go to capture one of the other pieces a sub game appears in where the two pieces battle it out and you control them. The two pieces have two attacks and the goal is to bring their health down to zero, obviously. Pieces from what I remembered went like pawns being footmen/grunts, some sort of caster as the bishops, I know the evil side had a dragon or two....don't remember much more. I do remember the casters being able to summon elementals or something like that onto the board to battle. Anything else is lost in my memory. Oh yes, the evil side had some sort of shape shifter as well that became the mirror image of whatever piece it was battling. Archon (again lol) ? | ||

It was a soccer game for some sort of Nintendo IIRC where you could only play as Japan. You controlled one guy the rest was on AI. Each of your players as well the opposing teams had a special super shot, like transforming the ball into something. The whole game was really cartoonish with all sorts of funny stuff (on certain fields lightning would randomly strike players, or a tornado blow them off the field, or idle players sinking in the mud etc.) The game consisted of 2 phases, first you could play 4 teams of each 4 regions (something like Asia, Africa, America, Europe) and if you have won enough games, you got to the world cup. Could somebody help me find it? I used to have this game on a console thing but it doesn't work anymore. Nintendo World Cup Now there is Mario Strikers Charged for Wii that is almost the same gameplay-wise | ||

What was different was that you moved the pieces like regular chess pieces, but when you go to capture one of the other pieces a sub game appears in where the two pieces battle it out and you control them. The two pieces have two attacks and the goal is to bring their health down to zero, obviously. Pieces from what I remembered went like pawns being footmen/grunts, some sort of caster as the bishops, I know the evil side had a dragon or two....don't remember much more. I do remember the casters being able to summon elementals or something like that onto the board to battle. Anything else is lost in my memory. Oh yes, the evil side had some sort of shape shifter as well that became the mirror image of whatever piece it was battling. Definitely Archon. I played it for the NES with my friend all the time. I used to know all of the characters appearing noises. | ||

It was sort of a turn based strategy game about the body and diseases. You chose what side you played on, and every turn you got a certain number of "units" to place wherever you want and you could attack things. If you played as the human you got to make choices like what to eat, etc., and you got units like B-cells, T-cells, etc. If you played as the diseases (and trust me, every single fourth grader chose this option) you got units to deploy and stuff. The demo always ended once you got the conjunctivitis unit, which sucks because it had 60 attack and it was so much stronger than anything else in the demo. Also anyone remember nanosaur/bugdom? Fucking own. | ||

You were basically in space, and the galaxy/universe/solar system thing was a bunch of hexagonal parts. There were a bunch of random planets, and you could send transport ships to them and try to inhabit them. There were like... 5 races, and you could upgrade ships, and build a fleet. Then aliens would come and you could attack them. You would fight in lines. i.e. Your ships are vertically lined on the left, theirs on the right. Anyone have any ideas?

It was a 3rd person shooter I think, but I could transform into a fast moving ground vehicle of some kind as well. 3rd person shooter. Not anime, very 90s comic-bish. Also another game, a 1st person shooter that involved a futuristic space scenario and some of the weapons you carried was a voodoo doll, and you could kill people with it when angled correctly. Some other weapons you could kind of zap or burn people with in a very shamanistic way. Others seemed like conventional weapons, 3d, half-life graphics I think. | ||

regular nintendo single player ur a weird guy who travels through side-scroller levels, different worlds some indoors, some outdoors the outdoor levels have little hut like buildings you can go into and talk to weird people and fairies and floating heads and shit you get all different sorts of weird gun weapons and shields at the end of each "world" - each world being 2 or 3 levels i think - you have a flying side-scroller level and at the end of the flying level you have a boss that you have to fight in whatever spaceship you are flying and the boss generally looks like a giant floating crustacean | ||

A puzzle game, with a top-down view of a level. There were a number of colored fur balls which you had to roll around, each had to make it onto some kind of beacon. Once you rolled them into one of 4 directions it wouldn't stop until hitting a wall or some other doodad. New elements such as portals, doors, arrows which forced direction and stuff like that was introduced every 10 levels (a cool image appeared too). There were 100 or 110 levels in total. I played this on the amiga 500, but i don't know what it was ported from. And a second one: I KNOW this game is called Jumper, I got it on a 5.25 floppy disk when i turned 8 (in 1988). Played it on my dads 80*86, along with games like Pacman and Space Invaders. Graphics were ugly and blocky, you were a stickman, passing through 27 levels. You had to get to the right side of the screen every level, avoiding gaps, flying and rolling balls, drops from the ceiling and the occasional swinging rope. I loved this game but i've never been able to find it again. It might not have been a serious release even, but maybe someone has ever played it? | ||

It had a sci-fi setting, I think it was supposed to be on earth a few 100 years in the future. During the game you could manually "assemble" the units you wanted to produce with your factories. For example you could choose wheels for your tanks instead of tracks or a flamethrower instead of a cannon and other stuff. You could build ships as well, iirc. I thought the name was something with "Europe" or "Europa" but I'm not sure. I searched for about 1h already but I couldn't find anything. | ||

You clear level after level, where you try to get a ball from one part of screen to the other, by placing/constructing contraptions on the screen so that when you press "start", the ball starts to drop, rolls along your stuff you placed, or if you placed a spring it bounces, etc and the goal is to "design" the parts for the level so that the ball ends up @ the goal. I'm not sure if it was a ball but I remember that the object of the game was this design process of placing these thingies, and the only thing that makes sense would be a ball. Think of it like a rudimentary physics simulator-ish thingy. It was pretty colorful iirc, reds and blues, yellows etc. I played it on the mac but I'm sure there was a PC version as well. The answer given to this question is not 100% correct, the game's correct name is T.I.M. (The Incredible Machine). I used to mess around with that. Oh and also: great thread.

I remember it being a one-screen game (no scrolling), with a top-down view. You could play co-op, and you would spawn in each your bottom left and right corner. There was kinda a maze somewhat pacman-style, with enemies roaming around that you were supposed to shoot. The maze started out blue, but the colors changed as you got through stages. Most stages had like a few mobs you had to kill to progress, and every so many stages, you'd get a boss stage with a super-fast, bigger version of the regular mob. THe only mobs I can recall right now are lions and flies. My pal and I called the game 'the lion game', but I got no clue what it was actually called. Anyone remember that one? | ||

No, it was a first person game. It may have been late 90's too, somewhere in the '97-'02 range. It had pretty close to Half-Life level graphics. I saw it here once, but I can't find the thread for it. It was in some thread about horror games, and I swear it was a thread about games like Amnesia (overrated, btw), but I couldn't find the thread (I found several threads about games similar to Amnesia, but not the one I'm looking for). | ||

It was a space shooter with a decent story. You could fly to other planets in a giant universe and upgrade technology/weapons. I remember being very frustrated because at one point during the missions, it would send you to a far away planet that would take like 15 minutes to get there, but then when you're almost there your ship would inexplicably blow up to some invisible barrier. That's all I really remember of it. | ||

It was back in the shareware days when you had a CD full of half-completed games that you'd have to unlock to get the whole package. It was a space shooter with a decent story. You could fly to other planets in a giant universe and upgrade technology/weapons. I remember being very frustrated because at one point during the missions, it would send you to a far away planet that would take like 15 minutes to get there, but then when you're almost there your ship would inexplicably blow up to some invisible barrier. That's all I really remember of it. That definately sounds like Frontier: Elite 2. I remember playing it on my pal's Amiga. My game experience as far as I can recall was starting at a planet, taking off and flying up to a space station (with the same classical music that was used in 2001: A Space Odyssey going in the background), docking there, buying stuff, leaving the station, flying ahead for a while, then blowing up for no apparent reason. | ||

1) a DOS game where you play a commander and have to manage planets infrastructure and resources to build both a land and space army. You have to fly between planets to get the resources you need to build said army. Battles always started with a space battle where you have a lot of blips flying around on a radar to portray how the battle goes, but I don't remember you could issue any commands. The ground battles were more a left vs right side with tanks and rocket launchers. You also had to hire people to improve research/technology, fighting strength and infrastructure. 2) a DOS game where you manage a kingdom in a kind of fantasy setting. You have to invade neighbouring kingdoms in a turn based kind of game. Battles were played out in real time where you play a special hero that leads your army (like warrior, mage or archer). edit: not heroes of might and magic, that much I know; I think it's an older game. 3) a C64 fighting game (not international karate) where you have the option of playing a vs mode or a story mode. In the story mode you go around collecting scrolls while occasionally you would have to fight people (same way as vs mode) or dodge dogs/knives. 4) kind of fuzzy memories of a DOS game where you play a chess sort of game with demons and stuff. | ||

I'm looking for a Gameboy (not color) game, but I only remember very generic things about it. It was a RPG, the actual combat was turn based (similar to HoMM) and you slowly gathered multiple characters in your party. What made it unique was that you could mutate your characters, but I don't even remember how exactly that was played out. I think the name started with a "B", but welp. ;; | ||

Shouldn't be that hard. <3 e: Actually the original Legend was what I initially meant, the robot part sounded a bit off. God this is like finding out Capitalism II exists in 2010. <3 | ||

I'm looking for a ps1 game. I can't remember much about the gameplay, and I'm fairly certain the version I had played was only a demo on one of those sample discs. There was some kind of village near the shore / a beach that is suddenly attacked by monsters (around sunset iirc). The shore was to the south and the attack comes from the north. All I can remember after that is a fence, fighting, and lots of things burning. I'd guess the game would be released around 1994-1999. I've checked all the sample discs that I still have, but it's not among them. | ||

I'm looking for a text adventure game, I think it had something to do with Long John Silver, it was pirate themed, and it was an RPG. What you did was basically kill rats and stuff in a forest until you were able to buy better gear... I think the objective was to kill a bunch of different bosses until you were able to kill Long John Silver. It was incredibly addictive. Alas, I only had the demo, which I got from some game magazine. This was 15 years ago or so, but the game was likely older. | ||

You lost me at monsters, but it's possible you may have misinterpreted it. :/ The "attack from the North" reminds me of the tsunami from Chrono Cross, the "lots of things burning" reminds me of FF7. It's a wild guess, but it's all I have. | ||

Back on the original NES. The game is Greek mythology themed, a side scrolling adventure style game. (I do not believe it is Kid Icarus.) You traveled around Greece, and it was somewhat non-linear. You fought Greek monsters (example, Medusa), you traveled to different city-state areas (Mycenae, for example) and did so across water by using a magical conch shell to summon a dolphin that you would ride. (Possibly at some point you got to use a pegasus. It's been a long bloody time.) Typical of the time, you could "save" your progress with a horrifically long password that helped define where you were, what you had, your life and weapons, etc. Again, I've looked at Kid Icarus, and I'm pretty sure that's not it. It had a different graphical style, slightly darker colors. Anyone have an idea? Edit: Oh hell, I double check and think maybe it's this one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Battle_of_Olympus | ||

I remember playing an old DOS game from a 2000+ games shareware CD I had a while ago. The game was called something like 'Warriors of ______' or 'Knights of ______', it was a sidescrolling beat em up which featured all different kinds of mythical characters, there were giant eyes, animals, human warriors, wizards, all kinds of things. Anyway the game mode I remember playing most was this sort of Battle Royale mode where you had 64 competitors (There were a LOT Of different characters, but I'm not sure if they were different aside from the aesthetics), and you had about 8 guys on the screen at the same time, when one guy died another one would take his place. I have been searching for this game for like... 15 years. | ||

Played a FPS game in mid 90's about (I think). You had a massive variety of weapons. There is only 1 I remember specifically and it was this rocket launcher that shot a multitude of rockets and long range. There were hidden chambers as well all over the stages. This was a PC game. Don't want to throw people off, but for some reason the word "riot", or something with an "R" feels like it's linked to this game, dunno if it is at all or not, just a "feeling"... I can't even remember if the A.I were "aliens" or "humans"... Think they were not of this world though ... Can't remember anything else about it, but that rocket launcher that shot multiple rockets at targets was epic! I THINK there was some kind of flamethrower as well. A lot of the game takes place "in open air" too afai-can remember. GL with this one... Shadow | ||

im searching for a PS2 game (maybe xbox). it is a 3D jump'n run game where u have a yoyo which u can use to throw at enemies or use it for example for "gliding at the ceiling". in the game there were also very small blue dragons in each level which u could trap into a white octagonal cage to get small extras (dont remember what u get when u do that, didnt manage to catch them in all levels). in the story in 1 level u were driving a rather big verhicle similar to this: + Show Spoiler + and the last endboss had a big variety of lasers and electric fields in a circle around him which had to be disabled 1 by 1. | ||

I'm looking for a game from my childhood which I can't remember the name of. It was mid 90's when I played the game. I remember the story being very Zelda like (though it was a pc game). It started you of in a town where a princess was turned to stone. You were then to enter dungeons and find yourself loot/other area's to lift the curse. It was a 2d game where, as said, you had to explore dungeons to find keys/gear and venture to other towns where you could buy swords/shields etc. It had a really nice art style too (atleast as far as i remember). It was an old floppy game. Thanks in advance! | ||

1. I played it on PC so I believe it is for PC. 2. Graphics are kinda like MineCraft, 3D. 3. Gameplay is: Your character is a lot of types, for example you're Robin Hood or somethign else and you kill a Rioter and he drops a token/coin that you can use to change your character into the Rioter if you want, or you kill a Mafia Guy and you can use the token he drops to turn yourself into a Mafia Guy or whatever type of character you played. That's about all I remember from the game. | ||

These last few days I started watching the great war channel on youtube and faintly remembered a fmv ww1 airplane game from the mid 1990s (I think). It might have been a small game that came with a gaming magazine cd or something like that. I don't think you actually controlled the plane, just the machine gun crosshairs, quicktime event style. After some googling, I've found nothing except this thread asking for exactly the same thing (so I don't think I'm going crazy). http://www.subsim.com/radioroom//archive/index.php/t-156081.html Anyone? | ||

She played the game in about 2000s, maybe it was a bit older. Apparently she got it in a compilation of multiple games. It was a coop game, that involved a mage and a warrior running through some levels. It was probably sidescrolling, they had to go through 3 levels then fight a boss. You also had to collect diamonds. She described it as a "pixel game", which i assume means something like 16 bit style graphics. I know that this is a very lackluster amount of information. | ||

I am looking for an old game. Your job was to balance floe floating on ocean. There was a bunch of penguins on top of it, and they kept falling into water if you did not a good job with balancing. I think this game was on Commodore64, or some really old PCs like 386 processors ect. This weekend I was attending GlobalGameJam, and during brainstorming I threw idea of this game, and it pretty much sticked. I would like to write in description of my game, where this idea came from. PS: <self advertising ON> This is what we did in weekend: http://globalgamejam.org/2017/games/floe (maybe it will ring a bell for someone...) | ||
