You are amazing! This is the one, thank you very much! : )mclem said:
Sorry, thats not the one : (! The game was more focused on the games rather than the story. It was very straight forward. IIRC there was a pretty heavy emphasis on classic looking bombs in the mini games.protonion said:

I remember some mech game on the SNES that was out close to launch. It was a side scroller, but I can't remember much past that. It's driven me nuts for YEARS.

I'm trying to remember the name of some Shoot Em Up I saw on Youtube a while back. It was a modern top down shoot em up. The player appeared to move in large, fixed circles around the boss. The boss was fetus with what appeared to be some kind of machine around it. The boss eventually transformed into two smaller bosses. I can't find any pictures or videos of this game, unfortunately
Found it. It was a boss made in Fraxy. Really liked the design and the music in this video.

No, I don't believe so. I remember one of them being white, and I believe it had a whip. It looked like a damn gundam.RedSwirl said:
And no, it wasn't Cybernator. It's been driving me nuts for years. I want to say you could choose between 3 mechs but maybe I'm mistaken.
There was this futuristic racing game on PC (around 97-98) that I can't remember the name.
I think I got it as a demo when I got a 3dfx Voodoo², but I'm not sure.
It was kind of a wipeout kind of game with bonuses like missiles, mines etc, but the vehicles had wheels. I think there were 3 types of vehicles, light, medium and heavy.

Three robots... Xardion, that's got to be it.RoninChaos said:
DethKarz? MegaRace 2 or 3? Rollcage? Rollcage Stage II (aka Death Track Racing)? Something else? There are quite a few choices...

Just googled it and you're right. I need your address so I can send you my first born child. This has been driving me nuts for YEARS. OMFG.A Black Falcon said:
This will be very vague, but here goes...
I remember having a game on the Sega Mega Drive (Genesis) just before the PSX launched in Europe. I think the game was new at the time. You played as a, uh, cave man, I guess, that could shoot a purple laser. I'm not exactly sure if it was a laser or if it actually was somekind of purple, glowing extension of his arm (think BIonic Commando). The first level was a jungle, I think, with monster that looked like dinosaurs.
Any guesses?

SNES side scrolling beat em up that was only released in Japan. The character portraits had a very 80's anime style.
At the end of the first level that main characters daughter is taken away and you start the second level as a dragon. You can shapeshift into other things as well.
I also remember the first levels backgrounds being very gory.

Not sure if this got answered, but it sounds a lot like Arcana to me:

There are 2 games that have been bothering me for a while.
First one is for PC, top down view with some mercenaries or some sort. You had a couple of levels, of which all took place in some laboratory (I remember it so). Between each level you could buy new weapon/ammunition. You got money from killing. I thought it was called "Dogs", but I can't find anything on it. It also supported co-op.
The second one is an arcade light gun game. You could choose out of 6 missions, I remember one being where the bus is being pushed by aliens and you had to kill the aliens before they did so. Another level had patients laying in room with some worms attacking them, while you shot at them.

i used to have an apogee greatest hits CD with like 15 awesome games on it (monster m/bash, old duke nukem's, commander keen, etc.). i am wondering if anyone knows where to find it? because i'd love to play some of those games again, considering i couldn't ever beat the first level on monster mash lol

This one was so long ago I barely remember anything about it. Was a 2D platform adventure on the C64 that progressed screen by screen. Your character was a realistically proportioned man drawn all in white - I remember it being quite well-animated, at least compared to the other games I was used to at the time (BC's Quest for Tires and Wizard of Wor - though possibly not as fluid as the guy in Impossible Mission). I remember there being a cave with boulders that rolled at you along the ground horizontally. I remember the character being quite large on-screen.

A few possibilities:
Myth's the one that I think's most likely. A *superb* game. Subtitled "History In The Making"; that'll distinguish it from the various Bungie titles.
Might possibly have been the 8-bit home computer version of Dragon's Lair; a very different beast to the NES title or the laserdisc original.

asked before but maybe someone can help me. There was an old turnbased dogfighting game from the 1990s. Steambirds would be it's spiritual successor, it plays generally the same way.
The game was played from a top down perspective and the background was solid cloud cover
here is a reference shot of steambirds NOT the game I'm looking for, but it should be something similar to this with more realism based graphics

OK here is a game that I only remember vaguely. I'm hoping your superior minds can figure it out. I remember it was an ARCADE game. I am fairly certain it had vector graphics.
The thing I remember most though was that when it was in attract mode it would speak and make challenges to you. I remember an alien would appear on the main screen. It was fairly rude if I recall as well. As a kid it scared the bejesus out of me because I actually thought it was speaking to me.
I know it isn't much to go on but I'm hoping someone can remember.

Ok, here's one for ya'll.
Middle 90s, walked into the mall one day to discover MK2 had been removed and replaced with this absolutely bizarre hand drawn 2d fighter.
I remember nothing at all, not the number of buttons, not the title, not most of the characters, but I distinctly remember an extremely ugly sumo or kabuki character, a shirtless (I think) samurai warrior, and this tall, freaky looking geisha character that looked like Olive Oil with knobby knees in nothing but a short red kimono. I seem to recall the animation was really bad.
It was there a week, I played it once. Shit has been bugging me for 15 years.

Haha, so I wasn't the only one to be scared by that alien.. I used to call him the "one eyed slob" when I was little *lol*
Some MMO game where you could choose between using guns or swords. Kind FPS-ey. You could run on walls, play in FFA's or team-based matches. People commonly 'dueled' 1v1 style.
It was free, I think, or there was at the very least a free trial. I have no idea if it's around anymore, though.
