This was a PC game. I don't know if it was in a browser or disc based. I remember playing it somewhere between 1999-2003 or so. Give or take 1-2 years. It was a first-person puzzle/adventure game that I am 95% sure was Jurassic Park related.
I remember it taking place on a dinosaur island, with gated areas and objectives of finding pieces of equipment needed to build something. I don't remember any of it taking place during the day and was instead always at night. Sometimes raining maybe?
I remember having to hide from dinosaurs because if you were found you didn't have anything to fight against them (or at least I was bad enough to not have anything?). Always died when they found you.
That's pretty much all I remember. I was looking at a list of Jurassic Park games on wikipedia and none of it seemed right, so that is why I'm hesitant to guarantee that it is a JP-related game.
All I "remember" about this game is that it was for the original PlayStation, seemed very Japanese and weird, and was possibly a puzzle game. I think the lead character was an office worker who wore a white shirt, possibly a tie, and he had to run away from a giant rolling ball? Man, it was weird as hell.
My younger brother must have been around 10 years old and he was allowed any game he wanted on his birthday. We went to the store (UK if that helps) and for some reason he thought this game was a good idea. It frustrated him so much he spent most of his evening crying =P
Incredible Crisis
Sounds a bit like Trespasser.
EDIT: WTF, sorry wrong thread.
But while I'm here;
Dino Crisis I think?
Long shot, but it wasn't Cryo's Lost Eden, was it? I can't recall any hiding, though. It was a straight-up first person adventure game.
Übermatik;226775599 said:Okay so my girlfriend remembers a PC game from the early 2000s era (earliest 1999 - latest 2003) that's seems to have be been titled something like "Origin".
She says the start of the game begins with a fairly dodgy character customisation screen where you could choose sex, hair/eye colour etc.
From there the first level is some sort of desert featuring a fence and caravan, possibly with an NPC inside. Beyond that is a ravine with some sort of puzzle involving hand prints on the walls that glow blue.
She thinks it may have been an adventure/puzzle game. Any ideas?
Sounds like it might be Uru.
I remember this really trashy, Sims like game on DS, where the intro is basically the protagonist (created with an editor) thinking something like (played it in italian, don't know how accurate it is) "I have money, girls and fame, what could I ask anymore?" and then realizing it was a dream when his neighbour came into the room saying he should have a shower.
I don't remember anything else, just this outstanding intro which I'll probably never forget since I played with a fat black blonde male which made impossible not to laugh.
I have a vague recollection of a game from my childhood that I'm not sure if it's real or it was from a dream at this point.
If it exists it was 98% likely an NES game (NES was the only system I had growing up until the PS1, though we rented a Sega Genesis once or twice). I recall the protagonist being a Star Fox like Fox, but it was a side scrolling platformer. For awhile growing up, I was sure this game was a NES prequel to Star Fox (before knowing any better).
I can recall a level where you had to out run lava filling up a stage (I think).
This whole thing might entirely be a creation of my childhood imagination. I have no idea.

You didn't let me down with galaxian 3 and Hopefully this is an easy one.
There was a platformer on a psone demo disc (likely US PSM or underground) that had you playing as a chicken breaking open colored cubes. Something about a TV as well...?

Mort the Chicken?
Speaking of PS1 Demos. There's a game from the UK demo one disc where you played as a construction worker (?) and I remember a hammer and the soundtrack either being the Prodigy or a too close for comfort knock off.
I'm certain it existed, it wasn't very good if I recall, just wondering what it was.
Hmmm. Trash It?
Hey guys, i was wondering if you guys still remember any of those "Sky TV red button games".
Remember there were some really enjoyable games based off on franchises like scooby doo back in the day. Would anyone happen to know any names?
Also there was a game, flash game i believe, where you fly in a 3d maze like environment, and i remember as you move deeper in, the colors change from green, yellow to finally red as the difficulty increased.
If it weren't for the whole fox thing, I would've guessed you were thinking of the Bucky O'Hare game. It's space themed, the characters sort of have a Star Fox aesthetic and there is a level where you have to outrun lava flows. I guess the main character being a rabbit sort of disqualifies it though.
Holy shit!!! This is exactly what I was thinking of!
I must've switched out a rabbit for a fox in my childhood memories.
Maybe ya'll can help me: there's this game i remember playing on my father's mac fucking years ago. It had police cars that would transform and you'd go around blasting shit. Honestly can't think of anything more than that, which is a shame, because this game has been bugging me for a decade at least.
I was looking for the title of a Bomberman arcade clone.
The main difference were the fantasy setting: players were warriors armed with a ball & chain weapon which could be used to break obstacles and lit bombs from afar.
4 players mode supported.
Thanks in advance.
Exvania?
For a friend.
-PC game
-Aztec or Inca style figurines
-Puzzle game, but not a match 3 game.
-Came out around the same time as Zuma
-Pretty sure not a PopCap or Big Fish game.
I've no idea if it ever came out on PC, but it sounds a lot like and early Xbox Live Arcade game named Jewel Quest, which definitely hit the service at around the same time as Zuma.
Sega Saturn game where you played as a character that had a wind up knob on his back. I think he was a knight. Anyone know the name?
Clockwork Knight or its sequel.

It's also on PC, so you might be right.
I remember hearing something about a tabletop RPG game where you could throw dice, and the characters were like figures, and there were really cool looking gifs. It's probably still in development, and I think it uses unreal 4 or unity engine. Definitely a PC game.
The Warlock of Firetop Mountain?
She says no, the things you placed were Incan looking statues. Looks like Jewel Quest to me, but idk.
Nope. I don't think it's formally out yet.
Oh right, I just remembered I'd seen something cool like that recently, it's TaleSpire.

There was an Amiga gamr I played with my mom. The screen had this thing, I think it was the enemy that would go around I think the perimeter of the game board and you would try to box it in making the space it could traverse smaller and smaller. I can't remember what made the level end. Ring a bell to anyone?
