Ok, If anyone can help me on this one I'd appreciate it.
Sega Genesis, Side-scrolling platformer featuring superdeformed/chibi style female character(s). I believe it came in a yellow box like the old sunsoft games, but I can't find any of their games that matches that description. I thought it may have been magic knight rayearth, but that's definitely not it.

But of course. I was quite a fan of the Valis series back in the day.Sallokin said:
Trivia: Syd of Valis is a super-deformed version of Valis II.

I'm trying to remember this japan only PS2 action game but I can't remember anything about it besides the cover
i think it had a humanoid mech suit on a white background with the title.
Not alot to go on but I'm completely drawing a blank trying to remember it.

So theres this game on SNES that I played way back when as a little kid. I can't remember the name though, and I'm not sure if I have enough details for someone else to identify it, but I figured I'd try anyway. So the main character is male and cartooney, and not exactly human I don't think. And theres this part (probably at the very beginning of the game) where your rolling in a barrel and theres bombs and stuff that you have to avoid. Thats pretty much all I got

This is going to be vague as hell as I don't remember much, but here it goes anyway. It's an arcade game, and I played it in my local 7-11 back in 1990-91. I know it had to be early 90's since the machine was right next to Street Fighter 2. The game can be be described as a run and gun with mercenary type playable characters. It played a lot like like Contra 3, hell I'd go as far as saying it was a Contra game, and at the beginning of the first level the characters yelled "tally ho" or "rally ho" or something along those lines. It may or may have not been part of an SNK players choice machine. Any ideas?

There's a few, The Tomorrow War is one of them. I'm not sure if that's the one you recall, though.
Here's one, I'm trying to find info about a UFO "simulator" game that came out in the late nineties. It had animated cutscenes, but the ingame graphics were 3D. It had you doing abductions IIRC, but also fiddling about with the unique flight engine. It was for PC.
The name was UFO, but perhaps there was a suffix or something. Either way, it's incredibly hard to find any sort of info on it without getting neck-deep in Altar's UFO Aftershock/aftermath/afterlight series, or the original XCOM games.
Any help?

Kid Klown?
Nope, it's not that one. I think the game hasn't been released yet. It was supposed to cover the whole galaxy and I'm not sure, but it's probably an MMO. There was a thread here in GAF about a year ago but I forgot to bookmark it.Pylon_Trooper said:
You see the spaceship in 3rd person and when you enter a planet you can see the effect of entering the atmosphere. I think it was more like a sim than a space shooter.

The cover had a man with butcher knives in his chest. I'm pretty sure it was for the PC.

There was this one games for Windows that I can't recall the name of. It was some sort of 2D fighting game that had robotic animals as playable characters. I think the year that I played it was around '97-98.

Yes!! That was the game. I kept thinking it was called Beast Wars for some reason. Thanks!archnemesis said:
I remember playing this helicopter horizontal side-scrolling game on Windows 95 or 98. You controlled a helicopter with a white/black camo pattern. You shot stuff which left behind silver or gold dollar signs. The game played from right to left. In between missions you could spend money to replenish armor or buy better weapons. There were saboteurs that walked along the ground and blew stuff up.

okay, i finally remembered this thread exists so hopefully someone can help me out:
ps - its not spectre vr, but spectre vr looks a lot like the game i'm talking about
- windows/pc game from the early-mid 90s
- think it was specifically windows 95 because i remember downloading it from like downloads.com or shareware.com and it was a big deal that it was a windows 95 only game
- game had a simplistic polygonal style like cybersled (its not cybersled) or hard drivin' (its not that either) but it was definitely in a weird futuristic desert-like setting
- the demo was basically a giant open area littered with ramps and jumps and fairly basic (but large) structures that you raced around on a futuristic looking motorcycle
- i'm sure there was a point to the demo but it was timed and all i remember doing is spending the time racing around, jumping/ramping/falling.
- i want to say it was called 'cyber' something (i promise its not cybersled, you were on future bikes, not sleds) or some kind of similar edgy futuristic name a game would have in 1993-95
ps - its not spectre vr, but spectre vr looks a lot like the game i'm talking about

Not Tanarus? That's a tank game too, like Spectre VR, but sounds a little bit like what you say.
Also, Windows 95 game, couldn't be from before 1995...
I vaguely remember playing a platformer on the NES that (I think) had anime-style graphics. The main character had a little round(?) brown and furry(?) sidekick thing that he could throw at enemies. I think it had two flailing little feet and no arms.
My memory is really hazy on this one, unfortunately.

Kind of sounds like Tecmo's Secret of the Stars for the snes. The island and the scientist, and the lab exploding are what make me think this.

oh, yes, i remember that.
you're not going insane, it was a third person game not too dissimilar from the second segment of that old PsOne game, but with more adventure and exploration maybe. edit; it also came out much earlier than that one, i believe it's actually late 80's, or around the same time as Stunts.
Never played it, but i remember reading great reviews about it.

I remember a music creation "game" back on the original playstation. I think you could only make techno songs (at least in the demo), basically by placing blocks of sounds on a black board? I played that demo to death a long time ago It came with the UK version of OPM I believe. Anyone know what game I'm talking about?

Trying to remember the name of a PC game from circa 2000-ish.
It was a deathmatch game (at least the demo was) with polygonal graphics where you play as wizards in a fantasy/medieval setting and shoot each other with spells and magic. I think it was first-person. Some of the levels were a castle or fortress, a church(?), a crypt(?). I honestly don't have any more information than that :/
I put like a million hours into the demo but never bought it.

Vague description but here it goes.
- it's a puzzle game, you play as a wizard (it has co-op), levels are just one screen big but there are plenty of puzzles in every level. I don't remember exact goal of the levels but it might be that you had to obtain a key and use it on a lock door. It has very colorfull style yet the deaths were really brutal. There were such enemies as flesh eating plants and etc. I also think it was a second game in the installment.
It was very much like Solomon's Key except for the violence and all. I thinl I played it around 1998/99 ?

You've just described every single fantasy game ever made, but judging by the deathmatch aspect, I'm going to guess Legends of Might and Magic.MomoPufflet said:
