THE BAR posted:I wanted to suggest F29 Retaliator, but then I remembered that 1989 wasn't 14-15 years ago. Yea it wasnt that old. It definitely had better graphics than that, though that video totally reminded me of the Red Baron games. So that's a net positive result. Saint Septimus posted:This is almost certainly Motocross Madness (1 or 2). Yup that's the one! I just googled the name to check and the first image result was the exact cliffs and the biker being flung through the air. Perfect, thanks! Edit: didnt see the post about the Jane's games. But I don't think it was that, pretty sure it wasn't using aircraft carriers and the ejector seats didnt have the rocket flare underneath. I'll keep googling things and see if anything springs up in the meantime.

What is this background music from? I'm fairly sure it's from a lovely licenced game, and 99.9% sure it's SNES.

I'd need to see the multiplayer demo map to be 100%, but that looks like what I remember from the singleplayer and the HUD also looks really familiar. No problem, but I'm a bit confused as to why you would want to play Motion Sickness Simulator 1997. Just watching that video for a second made me want to throw up. It just seems to handle really weird. Spiteski posted:First one is an old fighter jet game or demo that I played around 14-15 years ago.

I'm trying to remember an arcade game I remember playing a few times at Tam's Egg Roll in Dallas before they got rid of it--it was a one-on-one fighting game, and it was clearly a Mortal Kombat ripoff--I'm 80% sure that you played photographs of fighters and not hand drawn sprites. Also, there was either a Venus de Milo or a Roman column in the background of one of the stages, and if you punched somebody near it, it would break into pieces. Also the game wasn't very good. Any ideas?

My favorite part is they imply heavily this dude is like Shang Tsung, stealing souls (apparently by eating their flesh). And when you beat him, a bunch of blue faces come out of him like they are the spirits of those he defeated in SURVIVAL ART. Except it specifically says they're all "powerful human beings." Like Hitler, several times!

My parents and I may be sharing a false memory on this one, or my childhood computer was haunted --- but the 3 of all all (very vaguely) recall (about) the same game. It would've been in the early 90's for PC. Our PC had Windows 3.1, but it also could have been a DOS game because about 50% of the games we'd play we'd have to boot from there. It was a 2D (but nicely rendered 2D, like the Peter Pan Story Painting Adventure ( http://www.abandonia.com/files/games/25119/Peter%20Pan%20-%20A%20Story%20Painting%20Adventure_6.png )) sidescrolling exploration/adventure game, where you played as "a guy" (Dad says a monk), exploring a very dark castle (or something like that), and you carried a lantern (Dad and I remember a lantern, my Mom says a flashlight). And that's it. We remember the game about the guy with the lantern. I recall it explicitly being a 2D sidescroller, and an adventure game because the goal was to explore through the 'castle', but I don't recall a verb-based UI system like Maniac Mansion, just that you needed to get through a series of rooms...although how, I'm not sure. But I have an idea of what it looked like! lovely ARTIST INTERPRETATION: http://i.imgur.com/TvtlaFt.png --- only much more pixelated, but this pretty much exactly what I can remember about this game. Dad brought home a lot of weird games from work, he was a programmer back in the day, and he'd bring home a lot of demo's or previews and such that he got from coworkers. Which sucked when you wanted to get the rest of the levels and the company didn't exist anymore! I will never know the premium content of Wacky Wheels! Curses! For all I know this may have been written by a local Boston-area guy and never released. Or it could never have existed!

Hi thread. Got a couple from my childhood I'm wondering about - one probably easy, the other not so easy. First one I played in 1992 on school computers in Australia. I think they were Apple computers, but wouldn't swear to it. The game had simple graphics as well as text. You started in a prison cell atop a mountain. I remember 'call guard' being an important command for escaping. Once you got out, you were thrown into a ski simulator with conifers coming at you which I never got past in my limited time playing. Second one, 1993-4, DOS game I think, very primitive poly graphics. I didn't have a clue what was going on as the world was very abstract and there wasn't much/any text. I remember a giant dog type creature and I think the game culminated in you blasting off in a rocket (I never got that far). Wow that's really vague sorry!

I remember the ejection sequence but holy poo poo I thought F22 Raptor was older than 1997, for real. We got a CD Rom that came with like twenty discs I'm guessing sometime after 97, but I swear it was before that. Anyway, all the programs and games that came with it were old as balls. Things like Cyberrace, Shadow President, and Return to Zork." It swear it also came with F22 Raptor. That's why I asked for the 2000 clarification. Goddamn. That's loving weird. ...and now that I think about it, also completely impossible, because we had that CD rom before 1997. In fact, we had that CD rom for sure before 97, and I'm pretty sure around 95. I know this because a. I owned Doom 95, b. My parents rented Carnosaur sometime after it came out for some ungodly reason (might have been Carnosaur 2) and I remember this clearly because I was playing Doom while they were watching it, and c. while I was playing Doom while my parents watched Carnosaur I was listening to Manson's Portrait of an American Family which came out in 94. Also I got Duke Nukem 3D for Christmas in 96. I knew I had the cd rom for at least a year. My mind is hosed, everyone. Up is down. Black is white. Dogs and cats living together. Mass hysteria.

I'm going crazy trying to think of the name of this game. It was on the Pogo games website like a decade ago, and it was a puzzle game where you played as a floating head (I think) that moved constantly and bounced off poo poo, and you needed to manipulate switches and environment poo poo to get around/collect goodies for points. I'm reasonably certain the name started with a B.

Nope. It had an overhead view and was grid-based. And a generally darker color scheme with a lot of gray/blue I think.

top down shooter, probably mid 90s. it was a competitive online game set in space / the future with pixel/sprite graphics I think. I think it maybe had death match and capture the flag. the only weapons I really remember were different bright colored beam / plasma orb looking things.

Isometric Playstation 1 game set in an urban enviroment. I THINK it played like Ikari warriors, and I think it had talking animals / furry-like characters? The only thing I remember for sure was that it had cigarette advertising in-game, and vanished from shelves in the UK, after that was outlawed a year or two after it's release. For some reason, my brain keeps telling me called something similar to 'Lucky & Wild', although it's nothing at all to do with the Namco arcade machine.

Was it the one Sony released, that you used to be able to play on "The Station" back around the Planetside 1 era? Possibly Infantry Online, though that doesn't match the game in my head I was trying to think of.

There's a non-zero chance I'm mis-remembering many details to this, but was there ever a (Neo Geo? SNK?) arcade game with similar art and game play to Metal Slug but was martial arts/ ninja themed? It was a platformer beat em up hybrid where you could either two players choose between three characters, or four choose between five( pretty sure I'm mis-remembering how many people could play it at once). This was important since the character select has characters kneeling in a dojo, and the unpicked character gets kidnapped right after players choose theirs. I know once character fought by swinging Buddhist prayer beats at enemies, and another may possibly had been a black kung fu master with an afro (might even be the same char). The first level might be a asian village and the killer whale from Metal Slug MIGHT have made an appearance as a stage hazard. My brother and I both swear this game was a local super market during the mid to late 90s

Ooo! I just saw this not to long ago on Hardcore Gaming 101. It looks like its by Konami and it is Mystic Warriors: Wrath of the Ninjas. It mentions how the character you don't pick is kidnapped and you have to rescue them and it shows the black Buddhist kung fu master. Here's the article scroll down to see it. http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/konamirunnguns/konamirunnguns2.htm

I've been trying to come across details for an arcade game I played at, of all places, my elementary school. When I was in first grade (1992/1993), my school acquired an arcade cabinet with an anti-smoking/anti-drug game. I don't remember a lot of details about it, but the school had it for a week (sat in each of the two first grade rooms for a couple of days and then was available to play at the PTO carnival that week) and I haven't come across any details of mention of it since. There were 3-4 levels to choose from and one of the levels involved a personified cigarette riding a machine (lawnmower?), but I don't remember any of the other levels or characters. I've spent years searching for this game and the only indication it actually exists is that a few of my classmates remember playing the game as well, one of them bringing up the cigarette trying to run the protagonist over with a machine of some sort. I've even gone so far as to contact my old school to see if they have any paperwork from that far back, but they weren't able to find anything. I'm unsure whether this cabinet/board was available outside a school trading program. The thing that frustrates me most about this search is that I went to a fairly small public school in rural Illinois and I refuse to believe my dinky school was the only place this thing went to. I thought maybe it had something to do with D.A.R.E., but I'm not coming up with anything. Likely created in mid/late 1992, possibly early 1993.
