On Atari ST. You were walking up a tower that would rotate 3D style and had to dodge/destroy enemies if I remember correctly.
Tower Toppler? It came up when I googled your entire comment...

Maybe you were looking on the wrong platforms?
AKA Nebulus if you're in the EU. I recognised the game but not the name.
I remember playing a Japanese racing game on PS1. You were able to superimpose a transparent speedometer or tachometer over the entire screen. The cars were modeled after real world makes. But they were in a sort of chibi style?. I recall it having a Civic hatchback and oddly, a Toyota Previa. I'm not sure if they were official licenses.
There was sort of a small hub-world where you could drive around and buy upgrade parts. It had the usual circuit races but there was one mode where you had to drive full speed down a dock and then brake to a stop before going off the end into the water. That's about all I can remember.
I loved Nebulus! Looked at some videos of the sequel, seems a bit complicated.
Might be a Choro Q game, aka Penny Racers/Gadget Racers
Thanks a lot! After searching that on Youtube, I confirmed that it was Choro Q 2. Got a blast of nostalgia.
Unfortunately not. I played it on PC and it is not this Nitro game. I wonder what it could have been. :/ Maybe my memory is a bit hazy and it wasn't even called nitro then!
I googled earlier and found an Escapist forum post asking about a game called Nitro which turned out being Ivan 'Ironman' Stewart's Super Off Road, it's not that is it? No pits, but I don't think there's an awful lot of top down Racers with pits, Danny Sullivan's Indy Heat had them.
Captain Claw.
Your description including Nitro.exe sounds familiar to me. Could you see the whole track at the same time while playing?
A Super Sprint clone perhaps?Yes you could! I am 100% positive on this. Also, but I am not sure, while turning hard left or right, tyre tracks could be seen.
It was a PS2 or GameCube game (probably PS2). It was a 3D game with sort of a top-down perspective on the levels, which were sort of like labyrinths with no ceiling. It was 4 player with characters with different powers. I distinctly remember this old guy who commanded electricity and could use it to slow down time. It is not Gauntlet: Dark Legacy, which is another game I remember very well.
Is that Baldurs Gate Dark Alliance or Dark Alliance 2?
Those do seem similar based on gameplay videos, but the setting is different from what I remember. Those two look like fantasy games, but the game I recall seemed more modern. One character could specifically utilize electricity from his backpack thing and use it to slow down time. I believe it may have even been designed to be mostly a coop game rather than single player, but I can't be sure.
Edit: And I do believe all the levels had the same bland, square underground dungeon appearance rather than varied environments.
A Super Sprint clone perhaps?
Edit: While searching google I found a game called Nitro Racers by 3DO Studio. Is that it?
Hunter the Reckoning perhaps?
This one is really bugging me for a while now...
So it was a PS1 game, an rpg where you could fight and also collect cards. I forgot probably 90% of the game but i remember that you could collect cards and it was some kind of fictional world, maybe something like FF...
I'll be seriously impressed if GAF knows the answer to this.
So seeing this thread again got me to think about this arcade game I saw as a kid while on vacation. I remember taking note of it because it was a lightgun shooter with an Egyptian setting and the light guns were in the shape of ankhs. Can anyone tell me what game it was?
GAF if you could help me remember this game it would be great.
-It was a Nintendo NES game.
-it was point and click (much like a Myst/7th Guest type game)
-to enter the castle (where most of the game took place) I believe their was a key under a Matt, or you had to use a flame hanging outside the door
-the last encounter required you to combine a bunch of random material you found during the game. (No it was not maniac mansion)
I could be wrong but I think the game starts with the letter H
I think it looked more in line with King's Quest but had a darker color pallet. There may or may not have been frankenstein's monster in the game so I'm thinking it might have been a more contemporary setting than KQ as well.

I'm looking for an NES game where you flew a small ship positioned at the bottom of your screen. And it would scroll vertically. Some of the bosses were very very large ships.
I remember so little that I have doubts I'd even recognise the game if I bumped into it nowadays, but still.
It was a vertical shoot-em-up for Mega Drive
It was a bootleg copy with, I think, chinese text on the cover and in the game (bootleg copies of MD games were sold quite commonly here at the time). There might have been english text in the game as well, or not. Can't remember.
I think it featured some manga style girls as main characters. Maybe two different ones and you could choose to play as either one. This might just be my imagination, it's been a long time.
It was probably pretty easy. I remember beating it several times.
Yeah, that's all I have. It's okay, I don't really hope to find the game ever again or anything. Just wanted to give it a shot.
I'm looking for a PC football (soccer) manager type game from the late '90s, possibly by a German software house as I seem to remember GMBH being on the box. I think you could have direct control of your players during certain parts of games like free kicks, but I most remember the economic side of the game as you could buy apartments and the like and do goofy things like bribe the ref. All in all, it was a terrible game but I'd love to know what it was.
Wrecked: a psychedelic adventure

Sounds like 'On The Ball' to me!
MS DOS: There was some kind of western game in the early '90s. All I remember is that you may or may not have played as Billy the Kid.
Forgot I'd ever played this until Westerado totally brought back the memories.
Anyone remember this?
Goddamn! I've been trying to remember the name for like 20 years, and GAF comes to the rescue. Thanks!
THANK YOU
This is it. I remember being terrified of the first "boss" as a kid. Never did beat him.
Time to download DOSBox again.
So I remember watching this gameplay video of a medieval real-time strategy game where you were mostly just looking at a map of Europe and you could pick a historical figure to play as (I think in the video, the guy played as William the Conqueror) and you had to negotiate treaties/alliances, fight wars, marry off your relatives (and/or find a spouse for yourself), appoint people to government positions and stuff, spy on people assassinate people,... but you were always looking at either the map or at menu screens/letters. You also had to make sure that the people around you were happy/weren't plotting against you and stuff. I'm pretty sure that it was a 2016 release, too, but not 100% certain. Anyone know which game I mean?
That sounds a lot like Crusader Kings II except it's not a RTS but a 4X strategy game (I believe that's the description of the genre?). Also, it came out before 2016 but it gets expansions so maybe you saw something pop up more recently. Everything else sounds like features of the game: http://store.steampowered.com/app/203770/
