System Shock 2 wasn't a FPS ?

Thi sis almost related, but for the longest time I couldn't think of the name of the Darkman video game for NES, for some reason I thought it was something like "The Shadow". All I remembered for the longest time was it being hard as hell, the creepy eyes, and the blue blocks in the first level. Then all of a sudden it's in the actor thread and in a few articles on i09.com, like everyone at once wanted me to know the name of that stupid game I hate.
Mmm, there's a debate that can go on for some time. Yes, it looks like an FPS, and the combat is usually FPS-style combat, but it has significant RPG components. I'm happy to call it an RPG, certainly - but it's sounding like it's definitely not the game you're referring to anyway!UnluckyKate said:

This is the amiga version, according to wiki on the NES it was called - Rescue: The Embassy Mission (and looked like crap)

This game entered my head a few weeks ago and I can't remember it.
A PS1 game, possibly strategy where you could operate tanks, soldiers and maybe a helicopter and the objective was to kill the other player's team. In 2 player versus, one of the teams was orange and one was green. The title screen (I think) had two muscled arms gripping one another, a lot like the logo for the play Blood Brothers.
I always thought it was called Assault Wars but it's not.

It is vertical. Sorry. Definitely NOT Last Duel but I have very fond memories of Last Duel on the Saturn. Technosoft, world of Technology.
=edit=
Oh, I just googled Last Duel. I was confusing it with Hyper Duel. God my memories are fuzzy.
You know, actually, it probably was Raiden 1, after all. Considering Raidens popularity, and this was at our local Pizza Hut which only got popular games (like TMNT, Robocop, NARC, and Mortal Kombat 2 later). It almost has to be Raiden. Unless there are Raiden clones from ~1990 that I wasn't familiar with.
Like the hat?

Action Fighter looks the closest to it, maybe that's what it was. it's hard to tell without seeing the actual cabinet.sad_genius said:

Holy crap, I just google it and that's the one !
Thanks for the reminder, I missed the suggestion indeed !
Ok obscure PC games ahead:
Got a demo in a PC gamer magazine of a game that was:
-First person perspective. You started out on foot and could man vehicles of different types.
-You spawned at a nexus like building/mothership
-Science fiction setting with a heavy dose of blue colors
-the map was very big, and featured valleys and hills, I specifically remember a group of houses situated in a valley with a road going through.
Maybe around '98~'00
Another PC game:
1-2 players (potentially more)
controlled sci-fi ships from an overhead perspective in a battle arena
could pick up weapons and power-ups of different kinds
fighting each other, CPU or the environment
'95~'98 I think...

I don't think it was Tribes. Tribes has a lot of jumping and is generally a lot brighter than this game. It was either set on a fictitious planet or at night, cus it was generally a dark game. Blue was the color of most things, if not, it had a blue tint.webrunner said:
edit: nevermind, I found it. Yobi's Magic Spelling Tricks.
Trying to find the name of an old PC game. I played it around 1995 on Windows 3.1. I think it came on a demo disc that I got with my Compaq computer. I believe was native to Win3.1.
It was a 2D kids game where you had to go around a single screen collecting the letters in a word in order. At least 50 stages. It looked and played kind of like an Adventures of Lolo game, but it started out much easier.

Im searching for a game which had you play a space marine fighting aliens (duh)
The game was viewed top down, and probably played in dos. The marine could be moved around the screen (no scrolling), shooting at a slight angle of the direction he was moving, and he was able to collect different weapons.
There were a sequel, and in this edition there definetely was levels, and stationary turrets to mount. Furthermore scrolling was present in this edition.
Does this ring a bell for anyone?

There was this game on SNES. It was a platformer. I think it involved books. It was based off a live action kid movie. It might've been Disney but I honestly can't remember. I know this isn't much to go on but does anyone remember it?

I was trying to think of the "game" where you could animate Felix the Cat and make new videos or whatever, but I found it. I played it when I was younger and I wish I could find a copy of it. So much fun.
Another one was Super Solvers Outnumbered! That was a great math game on the old DOS system.

ok, it was a pc game.
it was similar to nascar games, however you could make custom skins/decals for the car.

I'd like some help to find what i'm sure was an incredibly obscure pc game from back in the day.
it was a 3rd person adventure game that started off in space - but then the main character somehow ended up on some weird planet.
i remember that the main character had hands but no limbs and was a strange colour (i think purple)
thanks for any help in advance!

Yup.
That ride home from Toys-R-Us was epic. Probably more epic than the actual game. Things haven't changed in gaming so much after all...:lol
Just look at how badass this would be to the 7-10 year old mind. God damn. More hype there than all the next gen viral combined.
