Probably the arcade version of SHadow Dancer itself. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=eXgWV5x5kQ0#t=7s

I know how it looks. But seems really off from my memory.

 

[Syril]

I wonder...

Many many years ago I saw an arcade with broken controls.

It looked like Shadow Dancer, White ninja and a dog/wolf. The problem is the sprites seemed really big and it might be a beat'em up?

My memory could be playing tricks on my and it was probably SD, but do anyone know if maybe a Shadow Dancer clone with beat'em up gameplay ever existed?

Maybe it was Sengoku?

 

[Tetraeon]

There was a game with this ninja dude who went to a bunch of planets and you could run on walls and stuff, cartoony style. I thought it was pretty fun for a PS2 demo.

Nah, I finished Sengoku, awesome game.

Thing I think about probably doesn't exist. :\

Wow that's actually it! I might see if I can pick up a copy on eBay.

There was a character in samurai shodown who had a dog, other than that idk
He's generally wearing a blue outfit, but I think you could pick him in white, and that would make him look similar to SD guy

 

[ViewtifulJC]

I remember this one game, I think it might have been exclusive to those arcade cabinets that had like 20-something classic arcade games to select from. It was like Gun.Smoke/Ninja Commando/Ikari Warriors, ya know a top-down vertical shooter where you ran along the ground, only this was a sci-fi one.

Ikari Warriors 2, AKA Victory Road, had a vague sci-fi theme. (http://youtu.be/zaqv6f6hS2c)

 

[Übermatik]

It was a PC game around the 2000's, might have come bundled with Windows, but not sure... You flew around in a space ship shooting blocky robots and other ships and stuff... quite an open world, you had a normal gun and a limited number of rockets... difficult to explain, but you could fly around and shoot stuff... there might have been buildings you could destroy too.
Kinda like BLAM Machinehead, but you weren't fixed on the ground, it was free flying. Crappy-ish 3D graphics... spacey kinda style...


Any ideas?

Descent?

 

[Portugeezer]

Can't remember name of an old PC game, probably from the early 90's (I had a Windows 95), don't know if it ever was popular but it was on some demo CD I had.

It was a 2D platformer, dude wore some sort of space suit and helmet I believe (NOT the game you are thinking of right now!), it was like the world was circuitry, floaty physics, some enemies shot things at you.

Probably not a good game, but a lot of nostalgia for me.

 

[BigTnaples]

Yes.

It was a DOS game, and it was you trying to stop gofers from destroying your garden I believe. There were carrots involved if I remember correctly.

Still nothing? Haven't been able to remember what this was for years.

Sounds like Commander Keen. Not sure about the circuitry though.

It's not Commander Keen.

"dude wore some sort of space suit and helmet I believe (NOT the game you are thinking of right now!)"

I knew someone would mention it (couldn't remember the name Commander Keen though)

Wow, I remember playing the demo of that game a loong time ago

 

[Maluf360]

For GBC, Dragon Warrior Monsters (1 or 2) maybe? Or isn't Robopon sort of like that too?


Hmm... slight chance it could be Gunforce?

Sir, I think I love you

THAT IS THE GAMEEEEEE

 

[Mikeside]

This is pretty vague, but I was thinking about this game today and I have no idea what it was called and only the vaguest recollection of it - but I remember having a blast with the demo when I was a kid.


It was a sci-fi RTS, you could recruit civilians who were just milling around the map & I think the units were customisable?

I think it would've been late 90s

The bolded makes me think Syndicate (although late 90's makes that Syndicate Wars instead), but I'd imagine that's not obscure enough to be yours.

Perhaps Incoming?

I had this game in the early 2000s and I believe that it came bundled with my Voodoo 2 card.

Here's gameplay footage of the Dreamcast version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izu9KeR-llQ

 

[Mikeside]

None of those - this game was a top down RTS with base building and I think it was on an alien planet

 

[CzarTim]

I believe there was a F2P MMO (or at least one with a free trial) it was military themed. All I remember about it was the combat was terrible, and I was farming enemies for some kind of gold/platinum bar which was valuable. I think the weapons were rifles like the M14. Early 00s, if that helps.

World War II Online: Battleground Europe, maybe? (http://youtu.be/TbYbQNAAev4)

 

[Luigison]

I'm looking for a browser game that starts out in monochrome goes to 8-bit, 16-bit, etc. or something like that. It's a sort of meta game in a Zelda like style that progresses through gaming generations adding colors, resolution, movement, etc. My daughter saw me playing it about a month ago and wants to play it now.

No, it was modern day. Thanks though!

 

[vladdamad]

ok, this one's been bugging me for years. the game was a point'n'click adventure, possibly came on a demo cd of macworld (i think there was a demo of an educational game with a mouse called mia on there as well),late 90'/early 00's. I was pretty sure it was called 'Twister', but apparently not, because the name doesn't produce any results through google searches.

the game starts with a tornado coming into a small town. regular point'n'click gameplay, basic puzzles; after a short introduction, you figure out that you have to hide in the basement and switch off the light, which results in you ending up in a weird, magical land - if I recall correctly, it's pretty much Oz, complete with yellow brick road. Now, I was about 6 at the time, so I wasn't able to progress past that part, but I vaguely recall there being poisonous mushrooms as objects you could carry, and the 'Drink Me' bottle from alice in wonderland. I think there was also a sub-plot about a mummy.

I've been trying to find this game for about 10 years now, if anyone here is able to figure out what it is, you will be my hero

 

[Red UFO]

It was a PS1 game, a side scrolling shooter, where you could play as either a character with blue hair, or one with pink hair (or both in multiplayer). That's all I can remember, can anybody help?

The only thing I could find close to that, but not exact, is Rapid Reload / Gunner's Heaven. It's single-player only but you can pick a blue-haired guy or a brown-haired girl. So check out just to make sure your memories aren't fuzzy. Odds are I'm simply wrong but I couldn't find anything else.

Is it a shooter like Gunstar Heroes or like Gradius? What style are we talking about here?

I looked at a big list of point'n'click adventure games and all I saw that was close was Emerald City Confidential.

I'm pretty sure you could build a mess hall as one of the buildings

 

[BigTnaples]

The Horde?

No it was a much simpler game than that, I believe the entire level was just the one screen, no scrolling at all.

Thanks for the attempt though!

 

[vladdamad]

Hm, no I don't think that's it. It had really shoddily made graphics, like it was done in Paint or something. And it was definitely available for Mac

 

[opticalmace]

I'd go more Conquests of the Longbow?

Holy shit, that's it! You are legend.

 

[xk0sm0sx]

Probably not what you are seeking, but in case of what if:

Warwind ?

Also I happened to thought of this and it might fit your description so far:

KKND series

 

[xk0sm0sx]

An RTS I remembered half of the name:

Played in Windows 95-98
Setting is traditional, sort of like Warcraft 2.
Graphics around Red Alert 1's standard, 2D.

Remembered a chinese woman unit that sets things on fire.
And very nice fire effects on buildings.
Distinctly remembered the name goes "Legend of" -

I kept thinking the name was Legend of Red Dragon, but that led me to a MUD
any ideas?

 

[Spayro]

Glad to be of help, both that and Conquests of Camelot are cracking games!

 

[Dawg]

I remember an old ps1 (or ps2..not sure) demo I played. Pretty sure it was a horror game and I was walking outside (misty area) and there were like undead dogs (wolves?) crawling out of their pens and attacking me.

That's the only part I remember, don't remember any of the other enemies/

Holy shit, YES. I finally found it, after all these years. Man, can't wait to dive right in and see what it's like 12 years later. Probably terrible, haha, but still.

May as well.

I'm trying to remember a PC game from way back. It was a 3D space shooter with full-on FMV backgrounds, transition cutscenes and enemies that flew towards the screen from the background. The first stage was on a red, rocky planet that ended with a boss fight against a robot-base thing which required you to shoot down multiple turrets in addition to the boss itself. There was a water planet too, but I can't remember what happened in it.

I played it about the same as I played The Journeyman Project on Windows, if it helps. So circa 1994.
