My friend remembers a game based on Dante's Inferno, which involved an interactive map of the Inferno with the prisoners/victims of Hell in it, and you could click on them and they'd recite relevant text from Dante's Inferno. It may have been some kind of edutainment title. I've tried to find any kind of reference to this game and have come up with nothing. Does anyone know what she's talking about or did she dream it up?

Sega genesis, side scrolling action platformer game, i think a lot of it was set in the sky or mountains, but i could be wrong. There might have been rpg elements, but i could be wron again. Might have been able to float, or cling to walls but i could also be wrong.
Been trying to remember this game for the longest time!

PS2 JRPG. You started out as part of a navy, then became a pirate fairly early on. I remember loving being part of the navy, hated being forced into piracy, so stopped playing. Would love to remember the name though (quite possibly part of a series).

Yes! Youre right! Holy cow i thought it was on the genesis this whole time, no wonder i could never find it.
Sounds like Suikoden IV.
It's Caliber Fifty, you're spot on with the "20".
It's one of my favorite games of all time.
It's also on Genesis.
This is a game that hasn't been released yet. It's supposed to be released late 2014 I'm pretty sure. It was announced at E3 this year by an indie developer.
It's a sidescroller sort of game about you controlling an army, a little gory, might have been exclusive to PS4 or PC.
It was on the upcoming exclusive games on the Sony Playstation 4 website, but I can't seem to find it anymore..
Any ideas of the name?

There was this game I had as a kid maybe on Win 98 that was a children's game where you go around collecting rubbish that had been dumped all over this city.
Basically a point and click game but it's annoying me I can't find the name of it.
There was also another game with funny looking cartoon aliens/blobs in a sports competition similar to Olympics.

I played a ton of an OG Game Boy game in the mid 90's. I remember your character was some kind of ball and you had to bounce on the walls of square rooms. It was in japanese, so we didin't knew the actual name of the game.
If someone know that one, he'll be my hero forever!

It's not Kirby's Block Ball, is it?
Sounds like a Breakout style game, but I probably can't help if it was Japanese only...

Nah, not Kirby, but thanks for the suggestion!
I forgot something: that was a top down view! That's why I remember the bit about square rooms!

Unfortunately that doesnt seem to be it, though the Mobilise OZ Ranger! mission did look amusing
Back in the days a kid from school used to have a NES and I use to go to his place an we would play one of those 2d space shooters I don't really remember much about it but I do remember the game had 2 player coop, you pick power ups and iirc one of the bosses was a giant brain. I know this is very vague but I really don't remember much.
Also if this helps the game was very similar to that nokia game Space Impact (with a lot more details of course)
If anyone knows you'll be my hero forever

Life Force seems most likely from your description.
OH MY GOD! yes that's the one!

Life force was fantastic, I still have my original copy and the Konami Code works on itOH MY GOD! yes that's the one!

Here's one that my brother and i reminisced about over thanksgiving...
it was on an apple or early pc (early 1990s?), you took pictures of robots in a school to solve a mystery, each picture gave you a new part of the view of the offending robot, and i think there was education somewhere involved.

Hmm this is super vague, all I can remember is an in engine cut scene, pretty sure it was a JRPG on the PS2 or possibly the Wii. The characters had combat forms that were vaguely like power ranger ninjas, in the cutscene they were defending a train (or possibly a robot) being wheeled out on train tracks. There was lots of Goky style teleportation and it was super over the top.
I know thats so vague that I dont even deserve to know what it is
Were the characters sprites or full 3d?

I think I got one that can stump gaf geniuses. It's a small description but here goes nothing.
It was a 3D ps1 maybe dreamcast game. I believe the game begins with making a choice of playing as either a lady or a guy. They're standing on either side of, I want to say a cave but I could be wrong. They're both holding a weapon and when you choose one they go running or walking into said entrance. That's really all I could remember.
I wonder if you guys can get this one. I have never seen this game ever again outside of my vague memory. Really wish I could remember more.

Maybe Chalvo 55? Although, it's not top down.
You mention it's a 3D game. Were the characters you choose 3D or do you remember something about the camera view ingame (third person, top-down etc.) or genre (rail shooter, survival horror, arcade shooter like the Contra games on PS1 etc.)?

I think it was a third person game. Yes if I'm remembering corectly the characters were in 3D also. I cannot remember a genre. I think I also remember there being some jumping. That's about all I can remember.

Ok, it's a very old PC DOS game. Very primitive, probably from the mid 80s. The background is black/dark. You control some kind of warrior... a samurai or a ninja... or something. And there's fighting. And maybe a house or some structure that I think you are supposed to enter.
I only remember tiny flashes of it. Probably played when I was 3 years old tops. What is it?

This isn't actually a game I ever played. I want to know what it was purely for closure on this pointlessly vivid memory that I have.
I believe it was the PS2/GC generation. I was watching a promotional video for a game in production and it was developers talking over their footage with a small live audience for Q&A.
It was a third person action game. You played a female. The whole philosophy behind the game design was that, if you failed, you didn't have to start over. The developers were talking about how missing a jump or a turn didn't mean you lost, you could keep going and be prompted with an alternate route. It was impossible to fail these sequences, in that sense.
The sequence in question was the character running at high speed along some sort of structure. I remember them being suspended in the sky, and the structures themselves were like very thick and very huge bridge suspensions. The character ran automatically and you had to respond to quick time events to jump or change course.
I also remember a second female character named Cat or Kat. She was completely human but had pretty obvious feline behavioral traits. Somebody from the QA audience asked, jokingly, how long the developers spent on Cat's hair. I believe at the time this game was supposed to look cutting edge.
Does anybody have any idea what it could be? It's one of those idiotic things that has haunted me for like ten years because I am really curious what the hell it was.

Full 3d from what I recall
Yeah I remember playing it a lot even though I never owned it lol, I wish I knew about the konami code back then :/
Trying to remember a space sim that came out on PC in the late 90's early 00's. It was an open ended space trading game.
The key features was that it had full newtonian flight physics and the whole thing took place in our own solar system with a realistic scale for the planets and distances.
I can't for the life of me remember what it was called, it's driving me batty.

Sure you're not thinking of Heavenly Sword on PS3? Sounds like the early stuff I remember them saying with the paths and such.
Nintendo 64 game. You played as tanks. And they have like different 'classes' of tanks. Like some where heavy with high dmg, some were super light with good utility. It was like Team Fortress for tanks.
You could drop tank turrets and ride around and get like damage boost and on some multi-player matches you can get like nukes. It honestly was a fucking blast playing with other people, name is escaping me though

Remember playing a fps on the psone.
It was futuristic and if I remember your weapon changed barrel etc rather than a new weapon.
Although maybe rubbish but I think I remember it saying "reload" etc as you reloaded

Wow - it was Heavenly Sword. You've given me so many year's worth of closure. The character wasn't named Kat, it was KAI.

I think is Tenka, yeah. You didn't get new weapons in that game, only mods for the one you had.

THAT'S IT! MY GOD, THE NOSTALGIA I'M FEELING RIGHT NOW.
I must play this immediately.
Super Solvers: Midnight Rescue.
wow, that's it, thanks!
That name doesn't sound familiar at all, i wonder if i ever knew that games actual name.
This game just hit me a little bit ago, but I can't for the life of me remember the name, and no amount of searching has helped me.
It was an old PC game (I think) where you were leading an army as the head of a fast food restaurant with fast food themed troops.
This may be a real game or I might be insane, please help me prove that I'm not crazy.

This one is probably gonna be hard cause I'm thinking it might of been a Freeware or something of the sort on PC? Was a mech game in the sort of like Virtual On or something, I think it was western developed. It had more of a multiplayer deathmatch feel rather than a mechwarrior ish feel, I think. You could garage in and customize parts and there was AI you could fight, don't know if it was online. Wasn't super old or anything, pretty sure it was pre-2005 I THINK.
