When I was 6 or so I played a platformer on the SNES where you were caveman or similar who had to save a princess/his girlfriend; you got different-colored armor (maybe weapons too?) as you went and the gold armor was best. Any ideas? Funny story about this game: I was borrowing it from a friend when I played it and it taught me what the word "delete" meant. Oops.

I have one game title, I just can't seem to remember too, though my description may be too vague to get more than a general impression... It was a 2D PC action game from around 2000 in which there were two characters (at least these are the only ones I remember), a human (in a blue suit?) and a brown colored beast. Im not really sure about the single player (or if there even was one...) but in the 2 player MP (simultaneous on one PC) one player had control over the human and the other one over the beast both trying to kill the opponent by taking advantage of the not too large, not very colorful (mostly grey?) 2D plattform environment and a weapon arsenal, which offered multiple weapon choices like explosives, guns and some sort of throwing knives (of which I seem to have the most vivid memory). The game popped into my head after seeing the Bionic Commando: Rearmed release Trailer, but the title I can't remember for the life of me... (oh, and it's not Black Thorne. The visual and the gaming style are quite different...) Please help!

Mine is a Win95 game where you flew around as a UFO and had to abduct cows. But if you abducted a cow that was acting funny, it turned out to be a mad cow and damaged you. Also farmers would try to shoot you down if you got too close to them. I really wish I could remember more about that game. That computer lab was also the one that introduced me to a game with a level designer, which I also wonder about, but I only remember that it was set in a jungle, which isn't enough to identify it.

i remember playing a game many years ago on the SNES. you were firefighters and the game was set in this one building that was on fire and you basically went through floor by floor putting the fire out. you controlled 2 people one had the water (male) and a chick was following you around with a fireaxe and would chop doors down and stuff. you had these wierd grenades too that would just spew out the stuff from fire extinguishers you could use too. i remember what the box art looks like but i cant remember the game for the life of me

Anyway check out my old LP of this : http://video.google.nl/videoplay?docid=-3339339781343944391 , is it that game? Anyway a game ive looked for myself a lot, and asked before in other threads here but havent gotten the correct anwser yet is an old game. It's for one of those old "computer in a keyboard" type computers like the commodore 64 or MSX or any other type. Im sure it wasn't a spectravideo because i had that one myself. The game itself is a helicopter game, you fly a helicopter through a series of caves. I remember there being pretty big maps, and it got pretty tough to get through some parts. Here's a little mockup that i made from memory:  I have no idea if the colors are right, but there were multiple levels like that with increasingly narrow paths the deeper you came. No idea what you were doing either, maybe rescueing people from underground. No idea if there were enemies or not. So does anyone have an idea?

Thats the anwser i got last time to but i dont think thats it, i just watched a vid on google video. I think the game was uglier and the levels were simpler, with all the lines and levels like in the picture, and no fancy traps like that.

This game was kind of like worms but with planets and spaceships. You chose your weapon and chose the trajectory and fired. Each player was situated on a planet and the larger the planet, the stronger the gravitational field. You also had shields you could configure and this game had a weapon editor. I actually found this game for a while but I've since forgotten the name yet again.

I have a pretty easy one. I distinctly remember a FPS game on the PC (might have gotten console ports of some sort) from a few years back that had "realistic" smoke physics. Like if there was a pillar of smoke emitting from somewhere and you shot through it with a rocket/machinegun it would twirl and react realistically. At first I thought this was Unreal 2 but after replaying that it apparently wasn't. Someone else suggested that it was Quake 4 and I've reinstalled that also but haven't really run into any of that fancy smoke/particle stuff. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? It's a few years old by now and I'm betting I remember it much more awesome than it actually was.

This one is from way back in my childhood. On the SNES, there was a game where you started off as a little guy wandering around a happy little town and inside one of the houses was a boss. You might have had magic or something. It wasn't isometric; it wasn't Earthbound; it wasn't turn based; it wasn't zombies ate my neighbors. This may be a really big longshot.

This game had to be when I was about 7, It was a Mickey Mouse side scroller for the pc and you basically just did whatever you wanted you could call up Donald or Minnie and just hang out, I vaguely remember you being in his house for a lot of it.

This could be Taskmaker, or maybe even Exile. Most likely, though, it's Realmz. Or a couple of other things, really... are you sure it was a normal roguelike? Most of those have all been ported to other systems.

Social Animal posted:The game was set in like a pacman style maze. You moved a triangle around that shot bullets and you fought against another triangle who did the same. Ancient game, probably very early 90s if not very late 80s. Yup. This is the one. I would dearly love to fire her up once again for some triangle-action. At least I now have an ally in my quest.

I've got a vague one. I'm fairly certain it was on an Amstrad PC and had a single word title. You were a guy in space suit with a helmet that looked similar to the Marines in Warhammer 40k, and you explored what I think was a large abandoned space ship. Kind of like Metroid, but much slower paced and not really any shooting I could recall.

I guess I'm gonna have to check it out next time I get a chance. I just have this image of me crouching around some smoke pillar and shooting rockets through it, watching the smoke curl realistically like a dumbass for 10 minutes. I just don't see myself doing that in an online FPS V:)V

I'm trying to remember the name of a text adventure. Apparently this one was pretty popular, and got awards and poo poo for best text adventure. It's about a guy getting ready to leave for a trip to the desert to go to a get together, something similar to burning man. He's waiting for a taxi to arrive at his apartment to take him. He's feeling weird, checking his stuff, and when he tried to do his last minute packing the apartment starts pretty much falling apart, with stuff turning to sand and sand flooding out of things. It was amazing in how "real" it felt, with descriptions of stuff heard/seen outside his windows like a helicopter flying by, and songs on the radio changing as you go about the game.

okay, i got one. stumped me, maybe you guys remember it, this is how a friend described it to me: In this game, the player moves through an estate, gathering clues to figure out who killed the estate's owner. There is a garden with a stone wall, a casino, and many other rooms to explore. A ghostly woman appears throughout the house -- she is in fact the woman (with two first names) who sings the game's soundtrack, which comes with the game. Most of the songs are soft, but one jazzy one is called "Little Boy Blue." The game came out around 1995, and the box claimed that the first person to crack the game's code would be rewarded with a large sum of money. i remember plenty of games that offered prizes back then, but i don't remember this one.

I believe the sum of money was something crazy like a million dollars, and as well as being the first to solve it, you had to solve the game within a year. I don't believe anyone ever solved it. I think it might have been closer to 97 or so that it came out, but I forget the name.

There is an old Diablo clone I played a while back that I would like to know the name of. I got the demo of it on a CD that I got from a magazine. I am pretty sure it came out after Diablo 2 but not too long after. It had a very Asian theme to it, I remember the main character wore armor that made him look like a samurai. Also, the helper NPC mercenary that ran around with you had his own inventory to store things in, and I remember wishing that I could do that in Diablo 2. If any knows the name, that would be cool.

I have one. It was a game on the underdog website. It was done in very crude 3-D and your character was a squirrel who hopped on sunflowers to progress to the next stage. The awesome thing about it was that your squirrel dude ran up and down on trees and branches and you could jump and catch yourself on another branch if you did it right. It was also timed. There was also an overworld map, so you could go to different levels and choose where you wanted to go.
