I'm looking for an old game that was running on four characters. A dwarve with a hammer, one guy with a sword, a magician and a chick with a bow. I loved that game, one of my favorite games if not, I remember that you could make release a special power when you were in the worse situations.
I don't remember nothing about the name, it was around 98/99's. Someone please help me out
I have this in my head for some good weeks.

Gauntlet: Dark Legacy?
98/99 so if it was Gauntlet, it will probably be Gauntlet Legends

I keep wanting to say Light Bringer, but I don't think that's right.
I just thought about it.. was it Dark Seal or Dark Seal 2?
every time these threads come up, i use them to try and figure out an old pc game that's been eluding my memory for some time:
i've been having flashes of this pc game from my childhood (dos based, jazz jackrabbit and wacky wheels win3.1 era) where you are collecting vomit in a bucket in one scenario of the game (think EXACTLY like the atari Kaboom game) , but i think it was tears at one point, like smaller buckets as you progressed and it got harder. it might of been an old sierra game. space setting potentially. anybody? please someone remember it, it's been driving me mad.

Must be Call of Duty.
I'm trying to remember the name of this old game I used to play on the computer. It was from a collection of games on a disc and I think it involved some guy in a prison uniform and going up and down stair or escalators, and maybe elevators. Not sure if it was 8 or 16 bit.
Edit: It may have been from an atari collection or something similar. I remember the box art for the collection had rainbow colors on it. They were rainbow stripes or something, I can't remember.

Crusader of Centy/Soleil? It's the most Zelda-like Genesis game I can think of.
Theres a light gun arcade game I remember, but don't know the name. I think you had 6 stages to choose and you could play all, but you had to complete (you could fail too) all or at least a lot of them.
Some levels are remember are:
-Some aliens or creatures trying to ram a bus
-weird wormish insects crawling in a hospital room with people laying in those tables
-Three "mutants" that threw toxic/explosive barrels
Thats about what I remember from the actualy game. I also remember a part of the intro, but its just like a guy you see behind a wooden door with small window with bars screaming and killed.

Reposting in hopes of getting an answer.
Also, new one:
It was some weird 3D fighting game and the arenas had an almost bird's-eye view camera perspective. The only character I can specifically remember was a humanoid, praying mantis-sort of guy who'd yell "kaaaaarate chop!"

Nope, it didn't involve moving. It was basicaly those 6 (and I think another 6 after or you could choose those first) stages where your camera never moved. No one could hurt you either, you just had to save people usualy.

C64 game
Top down view. You controlled a car always going up. At first it looks pretty normal, street, cars, but it gets crazy fast. Like you suddenly drive into Pacman maze and must carefully drive through it. Then you see a cyclist group and you can just drive over them leaving bloody splats on the tarmac.
I always thought this was called "crazy cars 3" It's like I see the title screen, but it's totally different game.

I don't know if they fit all of the things you said, but maybe Bug's Bunny Birthday Blowout or Crazy Castles? Tiny Toon Adventures?

I remember playing some game on early Windows... It was a puzzle/mystery game. You walked around and had to input commands like "unlock door". I don't remember much but you were somehow in some creepy house. Then I remember you had to wear a mask or something to get by someone. I also distinctly remembering having to "Look in pumpkin" to find a key or something to get in the house.
This is killing me guys!
EDIT: I think it was a Halloween theme because I remember it being set in a creepy scary house.

I hope somebody actually remembers this game:
It was an arcade shoot-them-up, from the 90's, where you controlled a beaver (or some sort of rodent) dressed as an old-time pilot (big goggles, scarf), which flied on a airplane where its legs (the rodent's legs) where hanging. And the other thing I remember is that the bullets where diamond shaped.
Does someone remembers that game?

it was an arcade game with a red guy, yellow guy, blue guy, and a green guy I think, I can't remember the enemy types, but I do remember the health pick ups was over sized food, like turkeys and shit, I think it had a kind of medevil setting I cannot remember, but man the hours me and my friends wasted on that while waiting for the bus at montclair state, when I was in the academically gifted and talented
another one was a house of the dead type game that took place in a carnival, that shit scared me as a kid

CarnEvil.
Possibly Rabio Lepus / Rabbit Punch?
No, that's not it. One of the levels where on a plane with a blue sky.

Alright two PS2 titles:
1) This weird game, I think which involved cartoony animals, where you moved with the face buttons. It had multiplayer splitscreen, third person...
2) This game based on, I think China or Japan, pretty much a town management game, you play as the ruler or whatever and can manage the town, go to war, and all that. Apparently it was decent (think it had like a 7.0 on Gamespot)
Thanks

Maybe something from the Romance of Three Kingdoms series? Probably VII or VIII, by your description.

Hey guys, this has been bugging me for a while. I've tried to run searches for it, but I can't seem to find it.
Boxing game, arcade only, 1994-1995.
Sprite based, and the perspective was kinda side-scrolling, not like punch-out at all.
All of the boxers were very SFII-ish, there was a Dhalsim like guy, a big fat dude, a british boxer with a long blonde mullet, very detailed sprite work almost SNK-like, but I'm sure it was not by them.
Have no idea how it actually plays or what type of button setup it was though.
Help?

Ugh, just thought of this:
It was an educational game, I think it was for the C64, but I remember if you'd fail too much you'd end up being lowered into a pot of boiling liquid, and if you solve math problems fast enough you can escape.
I remember playing this game a bunch as a kid.

Okay, so its a game I played on a PC demo disk when I was a early teenager.
-Pirate game on a gray grid
-You moved your ship and discovered the case you were next to.
-The goal was to find 6-10 treasure on the map and survive the Krakens and other ships.
-You had 3 weapons : Cannons, Rifles or Swords you could use, Cannon having a limited supply
-You had special items to show certain part of the map or to show where the a treasure was.
I dont have high hope of anybody finding the name of this game. It was on a disk of 100 PC games demo, where 3/4 of them didnt even work. I think there was a demo of Castle of the Winds on it too.
I still need to beat that Roguelike one day.

No, I don't think that was it. I remember it mostly had a black background, and your character was a little stick man. I really can only remember the one screen, and there were stairs on the left side of the screen. Sorry it's so vague.

Sword of vermillion? You do the dungeons and field in first person. Combat is more of a separate screen side scroller like. And towns are overhead.
Guys, could you help me out with a game my wife wants to find. She said that she would play it online in the early 2000s, so I'm thinking like Newgrounds or something like that. The way she described it was the hacking mini game from Bioshock 1, but with soda. Apparently you would match the different straws to bring the soda to a thirsty frog. Does this ring a bell to anyone, or can you give me a viable alternative?
