I'm thinking about a PC game I played ten or so years ago. It had a catchy soundtrack, and you controlled a spaceship around a planet (I think it was Earth, not sure though) in top-down view. The controls were limited to just the 360 degrees of the planet, there was no free movement. Each level had a bunch of alien invaders and you could purchase upgrades afterwards. I'm pretty sure the title had "'N'" in it as in "Guns N Roses" or something, but I can't seem to remember/find it at all.
There was this game on the PS1 that I played. It had a buff guy and it had a top down or 3rd person camera and you were on the street killing zombies(possibly). I think you might've had a chainsaw. It has been on my mind for a few weeks now but I just cam't find it.
Just based on the last part and the timing (I never actually played the game myself), could this be Jets 'n' Guns?
Sounds like Evil Dead: Hail to the King.
There's an indie game that was posted here and I can't remember the name. What I do remember:
-Post apocalypse?
-Rogue like, pretty sure it was like an adventure game too, Oregon Trail meets (?)
-Isometric perspective I think
-something to do with survival while traveling across the country
-Very simple graphics, kind of like Kentucky Route Zero
There are a couple, such as Death Road to Canada and Organ Trail. Do you remember the mode of transport or the type of apocalypse?There's an indie game that was posted here and I can't remember the name. What I do remember:

That's not it, but now I'm interested in that game too. Thanks.
I believe that thread was posted by a mod.
It's not Death Road to Canada but now that's also on the list.
Mode of transport was a car and I believe there was a dog companion.
Can't say for certain if type of apocalypse involved zombies or not. Probably a wasteland though.
There was this game I played for the Commodore 64 over 20 years ago. You entered ruins and such and went looking for treasure, and monsters tried to kill you along the way. I think it was made by either Accolade or Activision, and i've been trying to remember the name for literal years now.
I just remembered a demo that I played only a couple of times. The demo was included on a PS1 demo disc from a PlayStation Magazine that I bought from a grocery store in the later 90s. Currently trying to find that very demo disc. I think Jersey Devil and Blasto might have been on that disc as well.
About the game in question:
I think it was an RPG from Japan. The cutscenes consist of anime (I fogot if it was actually animated or just still pictures).
I remember a very specific scene in which a female was having a hot shower. The steam would hide the features of her naked body.
I think some of the gameplay took place in hallways. Seemed somewhat futuristic but I'm not entirely sure.
Otherwise I don't remember any other features.
Rick Dangerous?
I have a hard time remembering a game. I boroughed it when I was very young and it was most likely for SNES. I remember playing a little ball, maybe looking a little bit like clay.
And I think you could morph into different animals or even enemy types.
But the one thing I remember very clearly is one of the early bosses. It was a Dog with very large floppy ears, most likely a Basset Hound who was flying around a boss-area with the help of said ears.
At this point it might've been a fever dream of me. Because I've been asking tons of people if they know the game and everyone looked at me like I'm crazy.
Damn that was fast. Shower scene too!
Now Ima youtube the crap out of this game.
Thanks a bunch!
First I thought Super Putty but didn't sound quite right for that.
Never heard of this but I found the Game just by googling SNES dog boss, it's called Claymates.

In the early to mid 90s on PC there was a top-down jet/spaceship game that let you free roam a map any direction. I remember it being like a free roam Sidewinder.
You would get weapons upgrades like auto-tracking turret and circling missiles that would layer up.
Kinda played like Desert or Jungle Strike, but top down with upgrades you could buy and enemy ships that would swarm in different patterns.
Listening to Bach's Contrapunctus reminded me about a piece of music I heard (repeatedly) in a game long ago. Around 2004 - 2007. Either on the PC or the PS2. #5 sounds the closest to what I remember.
It had two vocal tracks that went ban ban ban ban and la la la la and not much instrumentation.
(Could also be from Anime/TV, but Pokemon, Dexter's Lab, Ultimate Muscle, and Dragon Ball Z were all I watched back then).

Sounds like Uppers. It was released in Japan last year.Does anyone remember a game that was being developed for Vita...it was an action game where you play as a gangster or juvenile delinquent, and you're stuck on an island where you need to fight all the time. If you do cool moves, you get hearts from the girls watching your fight. I can't remember the specifics, but that was the general idea. Does that sound familiar? Is that game still around, or did it get canceled? What was it called?

Alright guys I've got a shareware PC dinosaur game for you.
In the 90s I used to play this game for DOS I believe. I know it was already a kind of old game I think when I started messing with it on my PC and this was in the late 90s or early 2000s. It was a dinosaur game where you could build your own fire-breathing dinosaur and battle it against other dinosaurs. You could even send you dinosaur to battle other people's online if I remember correctly. The dinosaurs were mostly green and brown if I remember correctly, mostly raptor looking, and all the battles and construction took place from an aerial view which always made me sad. The menu screens had cool art though. I think this game was shareware? Maybe freeware. I just know I didn't pay for it.
Please help this has driven me crazy for years.
Definitely not. Graphics were much more advanced and darker than that and the view was from above. The game was real time though, not turn based. The aerial view that was directly above the dinosaurs, not angled like that either. It wasn't a great camera angle.Dinosaur Predators perhaps?
That's not Katamari Damacy is it? The main theme has a backing track that's somewhat ban ban ban-esque with a melody of na naaaa na na na na na na na...
Quite a bit of percussion and a little instrumentation, though.
Its an euro-rpg where a npc who had been ripping you off with bad land deals shows up during or around the final boss fight. It was random as fuck, lol. This was on the xbox 360
Back in the day. Weirdest game ever (grannys garden era)
there was a game where you would have to go through rooms, left and right and not get attacked by stuff and find keys to open doors. It was weird as!!! and I don't think I will ever remember.
I only have memories of watching a video of it, but something that looked like a beatemup for the Neo Geo that took place in feudal Japan, but with in engine cutscenes with dialog boxes at the bottom of the screen. Does that ring a bell for anyone?
No. This game took place in feudal Japan, had more modern graphics (eg. higher color depth), a much darker art style and full dialog boxes with character portraits for the cutscenes.

That looks closer graphically but it's definitely not it. The player character was a young looking samurai who was fighting demons. I think the cutscenes (really just a series of dialog boxes) took up a significant part of the videos I watched, and I distinctly remember being amused by the player character's portrait in those dialog boxes constantly looking angry/surprised.maybe Knight of Valour 2, but it take places in china, some people could mistake it for feudal japan (legend of the three kingdoms)

I suppose anything's possible, but none of the videos of the various Shodowns I'm seeing on Youtube look like what I'm thinking of.Sounds obvious but it wasn't Samurai Showdown was it?
