Was a great game that I played on the Spectrum at the time
Not a GAFfer but my gf played this at a friend's houseAnyone ever play this gem?
One of the worst adventure games ever made.
I've played that. The Finnish version though, called "Rakenna autoja Masa Mainion kanssa" ("Build cars with Masa Mainio"). Is it really a German game? Looks like the original character is Swedish.
Also played this one. My little sister really enjoyed it.

Code Lyoko games (they made some on the PS2 & Wii as well iirc)
I'm fairy sure I saw someone with an Journeyman Project avatar around these parts though. Believe is was the Temporal Security Agency's emblem.
As someone who grew up with a Mac and limited gaming choices on there, you better believe I played The Journeyman Project.
Here's my entry...
This game was pretty decent too.
I actually found my copy of Timelapse along with my game no one has ever played.

It's a Sega ST-V game that kind of mixes Mario Party with Pot-limit Texas Hold 'Em.
You challenge another player in various mini games with the option to wager a portion of your starting stake on the outcome of the mini-game. The game is over when one player goes broke, which is usually animated by the winner's blinged out character smacking the loser's destitute character in an alleyway.
Mini-games include golf, beating the jewels out of a burglar, cart racing, a platforming race, air hockey, bomb dueling, and a vs variant of balloon fight.
It's a blast when you have bunch of gamers over.

No idea how it'd hold up now, but I loved this thing as a kid:
This was soooo good, I was probably a little too young for it and had very little idea what to do though.
I'd say Hogs of War (>>>>>> worms 3D) but I specifically searched for it a while ago out of interest and found someone saying their greatest gaming achievement was completing that with no pigs dying. I wish I could shake his hand.

Shows my age (38) but when I was still using a pre-windows PC running DOS 5.0, there was a qbasic compiler built into DOS and it came with code for two games. Most people had no idea this was in there. You opened qbasic, opened the code and executed it.

Oh, I remember this. Still in my closet.
Anyway, I remember liking Cyberstorm a lot. Anyone know if any games are similar to it?
how about this?
I haven't played it but that cover looks awesome. Why can't game covers look like that anymore

Game got terrible reviews, but I loved it. It's a futuristic techno roguelike featuring a cyborg that can equip captured weapons as various body parts. Want to run around with a chainsaw for a head? Yeah, you can do that.
Plus you unlock 3 different game modes after you beat the "last" boss that significantly change how you play. Spent so much time with this game. It was one of my big breaks with game review sites (the other being Monster Hunter Freedom 2).

The Atlus DS game? I own it, I just haven't played it yet.

This game gives me nightmares. I think I need to go see my therapist now.
This looks awesome. Would buy an HD remaster on steam. Did it actually have fuel consumption or is that gauge/speedometer just for looks?

I recall playing Skool Daze on my dad's Commodore 128 and not having any idea about what to do. I later read a description/tutorial like yours, and yet the game was as impenetrable as before.
I'd like to watch a playthrough of it, to learn the right way to play it.

Sheeeeiit. Our school had two old PC's with those giant floppy disks. We used to play these games on ever break holy shit.
My daughter wouldn't stop playing this and Cell Damage.
You're absolutely right! It's based on a character created by the Swedish author George Johansson. Never thought about that before ... Wikipedia helps a lot. Just look at the different names all over the world.
Sweden - Mulle Meck.
Finland - Masa Mainio
Norway - Martin Mekk
Estonia - Meistri-Märten
Denmark - Mik Mekanik
Netherlands - Karel Klus
England - Freddy Fixer
USA - Gary Gadget

Fantastic music, too.

Played the hell out of it in MAME, would have loved to have seen this in the wild back then.
I was actually compelled to look up a youtube playthrough of this only a few weeks ago. It looked even less fun than I remember it being at the time.Rocky Horror Picture Show for the C64
I'm pretty sure it did. You had to upgrade your fuel tank to reach places which are further away if I remember correctly.
Played this one too.

I'll go with some of my early PC gaming gems.
Up first: Skitchin. The only game to ever mix the fruitiest action sport of all time (Rollerblading) with highly dangerous and illegal activity (grabbing ahold of cars and riding behind them).
Up next: Disney Coaster. The Matterhorn ain't got nothing on my blow-chunk educing coasters. This game had you design a wire frame of a coaster using pre-determined piece types. You would then 'test' the coaster by running through it in a pseudo-3Dish animation, after which judges would give you a score based on how much fun they had. Be careful, as you could forget to install "upstops" and the cart could leave the track, or go too fast and pull too many G's and your judges will puke.
And last but not least. A real favorite out of my early childhood. "Mean Streets". It's a gritty post-apocalyptic San Francisco adventure game. It mixed so many awesome things .. it was part murder mystery film noir, part Blade Runner. It was the Crysis of 1989. Full 256 VGA colors in a time where VGA cards were GeForce Titans.

some TI calculator game i cant find a picture for. or the name even.
heres some old ones - im sure people played them though...
As a kid a game about the Gold Rush sounded awesome but I never got my hands on it. Same goes for the Spellcasting adventures.
Anyway, here's some obscure Amiga goodness too few people played.
And an suprisingly well and costly produced (for it's time) FMV action game.
Wow, thanks for that.
I didn't even know what the actual aim was so I had hours of fun messing with Einstein and travelling across to the girls section and getting chased away again!
I think I eventually worked out that it had something to do with the shields but my brother had trod on the cassette in the meantime so was unable to experiment beyond that. I didn't even know someone tried an update so thanks a lot for those links.
In the top 5 games of my childhood.
My sister and I gave that a try at a gaming party a few years back. Good stuff!

Played it for the first time about 6 months ago at an arcade called Galloping Ghosts. My buddies and I were fixated on it for hours.

Connections: It's a Mind Game
It's a Myst type hypercard FMV game based around the amazing Discovery Channel show 'Connections'

Yep, fuel consumption worked and it depended on the type of engine you were using and the size of your fuel tank. That was amazing. Before you could use the rocket engine you somehow had to manage to get access to the largest fuel tank or otherwise your fuel would have been consumed after a short while.
