That's the one. Thanks!
Congo's Caperthere was this side scrolling mario like game in the SNES, but you didnt play as Mario, I believe you played as a monkey ... or were monkeys the enemies? I dont remember. i loved that game. I think after you finished the first stage you could choose between 4 different 'worlds'.
thats all I remember.

Congo's Caper
Liquid War(s)
Addictive stuff. There are also modern versions on mobile of it
Does anyone know the name of the sidescrolling shooter/platformer made by the Gauntlet devs or publisher (not sure which)? Came out a few years after Gauntlet. Possibly only on home systems (I had it on the Commodore 64) or maybe home systems and in arcades.
Futuristic setting that could be played by four players similar to Gauntlet. Had four different character to choose from if I remember correctly.
Congo's Caper
Game I used to play mid to early 90s it was on PC. It was definitely in the 90s. But you controlled this straight bar, and you could move it around and connect it to attach points but you had to avoid obstacles. Shit, iv tried many times for years to find the name but to no avail.
I had so much fun with that game! Would never remember that name. Is there a metacritic-like site? I am curious to know how was the reception to the game.
I played it in 1999-2000 I believe, it was one of the 4 (I guess) games I had on SNES during many years.
Well i'm gonna give it a try...
There was this PS1 game from a demo disk.
I swear i thought it was called Fighting Force, but both games i saw were not it for sure.
- A 3rd person shooter, camera was close from the back of the character.
- The hero was a soldier and was a ginger ? (maybe brown hair) that had a bald spot to the
back of its head.
- I think the demo level was Egyptian based ? But i'm not sure.
- (I think) You are supposed to move only forward ? You could move forward, left and right. Not on rails or something. You just could not turn back , the camera would not turn i think ? (Think of it like the actual Fighting Force but without melee combat)
Bingo!

Sounds like Lone Soldier for the most part.Well i'm gonna give it a try...

I wonder if you're thinking of Quartet? I don't think it had any direct relationship to Gauntlet, however.
Edit: Some budget rereleases might have been done under the same brand, possibly? It's a stretch, mind.

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.
Hey guys,
I'm trying to remember an Arcade game i used to play in Spain, in the summer of '94.
The only thing i can remember (and even that i'm not sure) is that it was a brawler and one of the levels was atop a moving train ( i think the background was blu sky).
It probably is a super easy one to figure out, but i tried google and nothing matches my mental image.
Wow, can't seem to link an image.
Dragonninja ?
?
Probably not

'm gonna be vague as hell but... something has been bugging my mind the past couple of weeks.
Basically, it was a video of a game or tech demo that was in a warehouse and at the time the graphical detail was out of this world. Time of day was day light. I think it featured shooting/swat but i'm not really sure on this last bit.
And i'm out. :|
Dunno if this was a full one game, or just a tech demo that sprouted a game or anything.
Does it ring any bells?
How old is it?
Been trying to figure out this one for a while. PS1 racing game, with non-realistic cars (no weapons, but might be something like micro machines, hot wheels, etc.). Has camera behind vehicle (not top down) and has pick ups on track, which unlock new cars.
Game I used to play mid to early 90s it was on PC. It was definitely in the 90s. But you controlled this straight bar, and you could move it around and connect it to attach points but you had to avoid obstacles. Shit, iv tried many times for years to find the name but to no avail.
This is going to be vague as fuck but in the 90s we had a pc magazine called highscore in sweden. I think that one of the demos actually was a music video (im quite certain it was a full game though).
I can remember it had something to do with planes or perhaps space ship. "Fire in the sky" was either the song, game, theme or something that I just made up. Would be fun to know what kind of game it was and perhaps watch the music video on YouTube.
So this is going to be a huge stretch here, but looking into this has resulted in some wonderful stuff I haven't seen before, so I'll just post this here.
Might the game be Inferno?
While searching for the Swedish High Score magazine, all I found was the very first issue on archive.org from 1995. One of the reviewed games was Inferno by Digital Image Design (DID) (folks who made TFX, Robocop 3 etc.) and talent from there apparently later ended up into studios like Evolution, Rage etc. Inferno (and it's predecessor, Epic) were always kinda technically interesting to me but I've never really played those games.
Anyway, the cool thing is that there's a "Making of Inferno" video on YouTube, which is a pretty cool and delightfully cringy (in a lovable way) blast from the past and I love these kinds of videos. But it also turns out that the OST for the game was made by the band Alien Sex Fiend along with Barry Leitch (who did a lot of music for stuff like the first Top Gear, Drakan, lots of C64 and Amiga stuff and apparently the OST to Horizon Chase).
The "making of" clip also has what looks like a long music video/promo clip for the game (starting at 23:05), titled "ASF: Inferno - The Darker Side", and although that's not exactly the title you remembered, there's a chance that might've been included in the magazine's demos.
It's probably not it, but it was still fun discovering these bits of gaming history.
Re-Volt?

Does it ring any bells?
Any chance it's way before the year you're thinking and it's the Half-Life 2 tech demo from 2003? After the warehouse portion there's a bunch of daylight stuff including shooting from inside a building out at combine trying to get in and I could see that being the shooting/swat portion?

Man, I really appreciate the effort. It could have been it and there is some really interesting stuff here but its not the game im looking for.

I remember the cover of the game. It was a game on OG Xbox. The cover consist of a cool looking woman riding a futuristic motorbike. A side view of the woman riding the bike. It is most likely a multiplatform game.
Extreme G Racing?
I have a really vague one here.
I think it was a turn-based RPG on the Gamecube. All I really remember is that there was some sort of butler character, and the main character had the butler's pocket watch in his inventory.
I also know that I rented it from Blockbuster when I was a kid. Like 11 years old.
Evolution Worlds?
A OG Gameboy game. I played it from japanese import, I'm pretty sure it didn't release in Europe or US.
It was some kind of puzzle game with a round character/ball bouncing from the four edges of the screen to clear the level.
My eternal friendship as a reward if you find me the name of this game!
Trying to remember a flight action game I played at an arcade cabinet.
I'd say graphics were PS2 level. The cabinet wasn't anything super-fancy but did have a flight joystick. Gameplay wasn't as arcadey as something like Heatseeker. Take-offs and landings were their own separate levels.
Levels I do remember (presumably near the start of the game) was flying down a grass valley blowing up ground targets as they came, and then having to land on a carrier. Plane might have been an F/A-14.

2 early PC DOS games.
One was like a first person RPG. I remember you started in a dark cave like area. There may have been a sword, bats and fireballs. I remember it was very difficult.
The other was like battleship. You controlled a ship or maybe a sub and you had to shoot other ships. You had to account for wind. Was kind of a first person view from the ship.
Very vague, but I would love to try and replay these games 25 years later.
