Galaxy Force II?
If anyone can remember this, they will be all knowing and amazing!
Old school game, Amiga/Atari days.
Game starts off on like a chess board with 4 characters in each of the 4 corners representing the 4 teams. The characters are based on mythological creatures such as the Satyr (half man, half goat), Pandora (as in Pandora's box) and other Greek mythological characters.
They move around the board and when they meet an opposing team's character, the screen changes to like a tug of war scenario between the two characters and each player has to answer questions and if they get it right, their character starts to win the tug of war.
This has been bugging me for ages and I can't find out the name anywhere, so Kudos to whoever does know.

Very close, it's basically that but better graphics and when the questions appeared it went to a different screen

This one's really easy, but pokemon is making my google searches not work. What's the name of the Japanese import GBA platformer game about a Star/Starfish? I believe they made an english release in that franchise for the DS too. I keep wanting to google staru or starme but those are apparently pokemon.

Megarace? Lot of answers without knowing a lot more, but that was a pretty popular game.

I vaguely remember an RTS from probably around 1996 or 1997 where you played an alien race that produced units and buildings by having a shaman plant seeds and then perform a ritual to 'grow' the desired building/unit. Not much to go on, but I really don't remember much else. Any help would be appreciated.

Mine was a colourful PS1 release where you had to control a bouncing ball along various puzzle based platforms to get to the other end of the level ... I only ever had a demo from the OPSM demo disc but would love to play through the full thing now thinking about it!
Any clues Gaf?

Yes! Thank you, that's it exactly. I remember it being hard as hell back in the day, going to see if I can find a copy and get it working on Win8

Guys if you can help me out. I remember playing this game, PS2-Xbox generation and probably came out between 2003-5, which had a Mexican/Spanish guy I think as a lead. Was open world sandbox I think and over the top. Somewhat just cause like. You could pull some stunts too I think.
I know its not a lot to go on but if anyone has any guess, will be welcome.

GTA San Andreas ????
Just cause 1 ?
Gun ?
Oh, probably mercenaries !
Edit: total overdose sounds more like it, never heard of it before
Kinetica?
Yep! Thanks! Looking the game up it seems the GoW games on PS2 used the same engine.

Total Overdose?
Yes!!!!!!! Thank you guys!!!! Thank you so much! Brings back so many memories. You guys are amazing!
God I remember the game so vividly yet the name escapes me. It's a PS1 title released around the mid-late 90s would be my guess. It was a horror game where you would explore a grave yard and an abandoned house and this demon/monster would chase you. It's definitely not Silent Hill.
Clock Tower series?
Ah nope, I think it was called Nightmare Creatures.
That was a crappy 3rd person action game with many enemies, not one that stalked you.
Yep, guess I forgot a few minor details but it's definitely that game. It seemed really difficult as a kid lol

Ah yes, that game... at various points played it one PS1, N64, and Saturn...
It's funny. I've got such a fond memory of it but only the demo was released in the UK not the full game.

I just remember it being super glitchy...
Anyway, I'm trying to remember a game for the Atari 2600. It was similar to space invaders but there were a couple of large enemies flying around erratically shooting down at you. I remember playing it Two player co op... I think the premise was that you were stranded on an alien planet.

Not sure if this counts, but I remember a cousin of mine playing a what I assume now was an emulator playing either a hack of Pokemon or an actual game, though it just appeared to be a direct Pokemon knockoff. I believe it was black and white, or had a gameboy type palette.
The basic premise was similar to Pokemon, capturing enemies and whatnot, the big difference being that instead of capturing them with pokeballs, you esentially got their cellphone number and called them up when you wanted to use them in combat. Honestly the only other thing that I really remember was that one of the characters said "Damn!" which really stood out to me when I was like 10. The game looked horrible, but I was kinda curious as to what the nature of it is. Any ideas? I swear I was able to find it on google a few years back. This probably would have been late 90s early 2000s.

I want to know what this one is but the only thing even remotely similar I can find is a game I have never heard of called Phix the Adventure. It isn't a mouse, doesn't have a machine gun, and I have no idea if there is a spider boss...

He was most likely playing a bootleg copy of pokemon diamond or jade which was a rom hack of the game.

Think I've got a good one. Was a RTS game on what I thought to be either the SNES or N64, but could have been a PC game from somewhere between '98 and '00. (Likely not N64 due to recent developments) featuring modern military equipment - APC's, Tanks, that sort of thing. Each army only had a few units to control, but the one thing that stuck out about the game is it felt like every damn unit fired rockets. Had a bit of a Clancy / Red Storm feel to it. Almost felt like a precursor to "EndWar", pretty similar style.
Edit: Updated with recent developments.

C&C was on N64, was it that? Not sure it meets the 'few units' criteria but.
