I am thinking about a forum or play by post game that is like dealing with a senate, or congress or something. There are 10 rules that are solid and cannot be changed, but you can suggest any rule you want, and everyone votes on it. I cannot remember how you win but I do know there has been a few of these running since the 80s, and SA had one here for a time. Wikipedia and google are useless! It seemed like a really cool round robin/politics game to me.

My wife is looking for a game, would have been early early PC, maybe the 386 days? Anyway, in it you play a little guy and you fly around on a magic carpet and drink tea, and she says she remembers a magic flute. It was black and white graphics mixed with some text. You guys got any ideas? I've been looking for a game like this for years for her.

I remember playing some adventure-type game in 5th grade that I have only the faintest memory of, but I'm curious if anyone else can tell me what it is from what I remember. Basically I just remember that on the hardest difficulty of the game you had to obtain a can of cheeze whiz called 'Cheese Girl' I think, and use it to propel yourself from outer space to safety, or something like that. Does this ring any bells for anyone?

Im trying to think of an old, old arcade game. 2D side scroller. You played one of 4 chracters.. (3 men or one woman) running through a futuristic setting, I dotn remember the names, I do remember one member fo the team being bald with a flame based weapon. The objective off the game was to get a key item, with three round jewels. From some shadowy chracter with a cloak. I also want to know an old robot shooter game. the trick was you had a double jump with boosters in yuor boots. the game had a realistic look to it, and you had grenade launcher.

It wasn't anything to do with Red Faction. That's all I've got. Pretty sure its Disruptor, which I still have a copy of somewhere. Decent game actually, pretty tough too.

You're in a spaceship, in a team of three. You're inside a cylinder, laced with obstacles and such to fly around, and you and your team have to shoot down the other team. In the centre of the cylinder there's some kind of thing that you fly through, or maybe just fly around, to restore health. The box for this game had a flap on it held by velcro, and opening the flap showed you the game character bios, which were very cyberpunk, with a bit of a Mad Max feel to them as well.

I'm thinking of a game I know very little about, other than I played it on an old Pentium 133 for a little while and the thing ran too slowly. I don't recall much about it, beyond starting in a castle of some sort in a third person kind of view and finding a sweet meat. And then leaving that place and entering in a bunch of fields, finding something that looked like a windmill, and then quitting. I have no idea whatsoever what it is and the curiosity is driving me mad.

Ok the game I'm thinking of is an old PC game. I was probably about 8 so around 1996ish but God knows if it was new or old at that time. You were like a tank thing and you tunneled about and you went against another person. It might have had other modes but we only ever played it against each other. May have been called like Tunneler but that could have just been what we called it.

I've got one, I think it was around the time of Warcraft I or II. It was a top-down view and you were a caveman in a leopard skin. I think you fought apes with a bone or something, I can't remember, but it was pretty sweet.

I'm looking for an old educational game that came out on the 386 back when floppy disks were floppy. As I recall the game was one of those 4-bit graphic games and it was divided into two sections. The first section would present a collection of math questions of varying difficulty depending on your choice that you had to speed through as quickly as possible. Every right answer would earn you bullets, bombs, and fuel. Once the timer went out the game turned into a Defender style side-scrolling shooter were you would fly a red jetplane and lay waste to an enemy base.

I have a couple, actually. The first two are from one of those "1001 games on two CDs!" type of things. One was a 3D type of game like Block-Out (the kind where you have a paddle and you break bricks). You saw the level from the view of the paddle itself. The levels were fashioned so they looked like rooms. The passwords for the first set of levels were Hyrdogen, Helium, Lithium, etc. The second game was called Amiga, but Googling for it only gives me info on the Amiga system. It was a very simple game with lots of blocks and such on the screen. You have to move a snake from one end to the other. When you push a direction, it kept going in that direction until it hit something. I think certain colors of blocks would kill you, help you, etc. If anyone knows anymore about this game, please tell me. --- SNES RPG: Five characters to the party. About as generic an RPG as you can get. Eventually, you went up in the sky. I think the basic "potion" equivalent was "Plums" or something. Edit: Oh, and a PS1 game...you had a red, yellow, blue, and green player. You fought to put crystals in containers, but you had to rotate the room to get to different containers.

I had a shareware disk with the first couple levels of a few games (three?) once. This was probably 10 years or more ago, though. I'm pretty sure the third game, if I'm thinking of the right one, was a demo of Cadillacs and Dinosaurs, a rail shooter with you on a turret on the back of a car. There could have been more games, though. The first two games I can't remember had some weird FMV clips going on. #1 had you in control of a futuristic supply/smuggler train on future train-tracks, in a trench, from a first person perspective. Some of the enemies, including one of the bosses, looked sort of like blue and green Milennium Falcon ripoffs, and you could switch tracks at certain points. Also, there was a sound test or something in the menu with a smiley face that said boomshakalaka and stuff. The second one was a lot more normal, it was just a sprite-based WW1 biplane game. Most of it was shooting down other biplanes, but there was a part where you would drop a bomb and get a silly live-action clip of your pilot dropping a bomb by hand. There were also funny (maybe, it was ten years ago) live-action clips for the other pilots.

There is some game that I only can remember the opening part for. I believe it was an RPG for Super Nintendo. It was done with 2D Sprites like most RPG games were. The game begins, and a character is in some sort of castle or dungeon. The place is on fire. You and a friend escape, and your friend uses a freeze spell to put out a blocking flame. You escape the building and your friend mentions how his/her powers are weak so that is why he/she could only barely put out one flame. That is all I remember. What game was this? I want to know.

It's Sara who's using the spells to put out the fire in Drogan (I think that's the city). You then go up and fight a giant Frog in a castle and they build a statue of you. I really love that game, and the sequel is one of the better RPGs of the 90s in my opinion.

An old PC game, I must have played it about 10 years ago, think it was abandonware. Pretty bad graphics, third-person, sort of top-down perspective; there was stealth, levers that activated... something, maybe flying platforms, and I think you started with a striped prison uniform and had to get rid of it. For a long time, I thought it was called "Relent", but searching for that gives me nothing. Any idea?

Your opponents also typed text based insults out...it was a turn based strategy game that was totally awesome from what I can remember. I wanted to buy it so bad Warheads? It was a sort of Scorched Earth style game, where you took turns shooting at other players on different planets. Theres still a shareware version kicking around at http://www.warheads.net/

Okay, this was a demo I played in the mid 90's, a side scrolling platform game where you were a wizard, all I can really remember is that you healed by drinking from water fountains. That's all I've got.
