I'm operating of decade old memories of the like one time I played it, but that seems to make sense. duckfarts posted:Uggghhhhh I think I know what you're talking about; it's an FPS/TPS where you had arcade buttons for WASD style movement and a joystick to aim, had weapons like mortars to completely gib dudes, and a lot of orange dudes in snow bases and sort of a Maximum Force/Area 51 attitude. It came out after stuff like The Grid. Yup.

Alright, PS1 game, I remember playing a demo for it when I was kid, but never got the games name. Basically you picked either a guy or a girl, and based on the character you got could transform into different animals. It was from a side perspective, though I can't quite recall if it was a platformer or a beat-em up. If it helps, it was on a demo disk with Spyro 3.

I'm looking for a game released around the 2000 mark. Similar in style to Wipeout, but was using vehicles with huge wheels. As I recall it, it didn't matter which way up your vehicle was, it was drivable from either orientation. Had Fatboy Slim on the soundtrack.

Was there an Atari game that was like Karateka... but not really? I remember you could pick up ninja stars off the ground and throw them too. I would be more descriptive, but my memory is foggy now. I've looked at screenshots of Karateka, but it's not exactly as I remember it. You also fought ninjas I think.

Another year, another post to try to figure this game out.JfishPirate posted:I don't remember much of it because I only saw a friend play it, but it was a top-down 2D game, with free movement around the screen. I remember him telling me the Druid was the best character, as he ran around with his Druid through a desert type area, firing magic bolts at various enemies at a pretty fast pace. The screen setup was the game on the left side of the screen, the score and character class(and possibly the title) on the right side. This was a PC game, some time around 1995 or so. The sprites were 8/16 bit quality.

When I played it on the C64 it was just called "Ninja".

I was talking with a friend, and we started talking about death as a mechanic to progress in a game we both can't remember the name of. It may have been a Flash game or an indie game - a platformer. You would die, and your 'ghost' would go through the level again doing everything you did previously, while you could control your current guy and do whatever. For example, your first guy would go and hold a switch for a few minutes or something, and then you will kill yourself, and then your new guy would run over to a door that was being held open by the ghost of your previous guy holding the switch. Something like that anyway.

I'm trying to remember the name of a game from the Apogee-era, maybe 1994 or 1995. It was a simple third-person action game where you ran around in a maze-like arena, shooting enemies with machineguns and flamethrowers. Surprisingly, if you divvied up the keys on the keyboard, a second person could play in a crude, co-op style mode on the same screen. For its time, this was a really cool feature. The whole thing wasn't quite an isometric perspective, but it wasn't a side-scroller, either. A while back, I found an image that I swear comes from the game, but if you reverse-image search it, it turns up nothing:

I only have the barest of information about this one. It was a playstation 1 game, and all I remember is the box art and some info on the case. It had something to do with bounty or treasure hunting, was sci-fi, and the game touted that you might not know who to trust. I think it was from a top down-ish angle (could be wrong) and the art was a line up of fairly anime-ish looking 3d models. They looked rather Final Fantasy 7 if I remember right. It's not much to go on at all, but it popped into my head recently and it's bugging me to no end.

There was an old NES game I have memories of my cousin owning and I'm trying to remember... google doesn't seem to be helping. It was a platformer where you are a kid inside his own dream, I remember bubblegum being a pick-up or possibly the weapon he threw? And I think he could either don a frog suit or ride in a frog's mouth at some point, but otherwise was in bluish pajamas and had messy black hair. I guess it played something like metroid or mega man, but I was like 3 or 4 years old watching other people play at the time, so this is all very hazy. Anyone have a clue?

You drive a car (maybe one out of 3?) down a straight highway with changing environments, there are enemies and I think you have some sort of weapon on your car. The game might have been freeware or at least was pretty much on every magazine CD at one point. I think there might have been a helicopter at some point in the game. I know this is vague and therefore a longshot, but also worth a try.

It's like Roadblasters, but I think it was 3D (or really good/modern 2D) but only going forward and driving inbetween lanes lanes.
