I'm wondering if this might be a slightly confused memory of Mindmaze, the game portion of Microsoft's Encarta encyclopedia. Bits of it are about right; meeting random characters (including jesters), the rough era of release, and the quizziness. The bit that doesn't match is your interpretation of the goal, though.

YES Nuclear Strike! I palyed it on PC. I remember the graphics being much prettier but that's always the case with old games I think
Thank you!Dimitri LH

Tokyo Twilight Ghost Hunter? It came out like a month or two ago for both vita and PS3 in the US Ibelieve.
Edit: could also be the new game "Lost Dimensions"

Two SNES games I'm trying to find on my attic.
First one:
A shoot 'em up game with a lot of Anime themed characters and whatever. You could play it co-op and there were these bells(if I remember right), that you could shoot to change colours which would then decide what power-up or weapon you'd get.
Seconde one:
A platforming squirrel in a forest environment. You could whip your tail to hit enemies.

It MIGHT be Lost Dimensions. I do remember it having a large cast. Don't think it is Ghost Hunter.
Had a Playstation 1 on release day in europe (29th sept. 1995) and I had game on it (can't remember if it was just on the demo disc or if it was a launch title):
It was a racing game with a SciFi setting like WipEout.
Instead of a flat track you were racing in some kind of bobsled run / half-pipe. In the center of it there was some kind of rail or string (which went from start to the goal) and you could only rotate 360 degrees around this rail. You were basically only rotating around this rail / string / center point and didn't control your vehicle directly on the track like taking turns left and right.
And the game was in third person and you could see your vehicle from behind.
Anyone got an idea? Guess it was most likely on the first european / german demo disc

(bleh already answered, went to wrong thread page
)Wow you're right mate, thanks for that! Tried to find that for at least 6 months. Appearently the internet also doesn't know much about this game...
Just watched the gameplay and remembered why I got mad and decided to go back into town (after owning the PS for 2 hours) and bought a real game. :/
my gf cant remember the name of an rpg she once played.
some details she gave me:
i know its not much, hope someone knows it. its definetly not two worlds, that much i can tell
some details she gave me:
- 3rd person controls, like witcher, gothic etc
- dark enviorments
- you had a companion
- characters looked rather ugly
- some early quest involves a creepy hut
- you didnt do much damage and it was rather hard
i know its not much, hope someone knows it. its definetly not two worlds, that much i can tell
Any details on what system or when she played it?

It was on the NES.
It was sorta like Castlevania, but with a sword, I think. Side-scroller.
You could stop at a store during a level to buy items or upgrade or something.

Looking for a point and click spy game on PC. The graphics where comic style (like the late monkey island games).
You played as a agent or spy( I think the color of his suit was blue) and in the last mission (at least I think it was the last) you had to defuse a bomb by cutting the right wire.
I thought it was In some sort of game collection like "play the games vol.", but u checked all of them and couldn't find it in there
Played the game around 1999/2000.

Conquest of the Crystal Palace, maybe? Did you have a dog companion?

I have a really, really hard one: I never watched the game itself, just the box, and I came to me the other day out of the blue:
The game could be fantasy, or sci-fi, and it was either PC or Amiga, and all I remember from the box is a screen shoot of a robbed figure with an angry expression reaching to what I suppose was the silhouette of the protagonist, who was standing on top of table and was minuscule in comparison with the robbed man.
Other than that, I don't recall much of the box (it was around 1994 or 1995).

8 Eyes?
I can't stop thinking about a game I saw announced at one point. It was like... A pixel-style game, where you had a homestead with your family, most of whom, if not all, were playable characters. (One a huntress, one a warrior etcetera)
And I seem to remember it having a kind of viking-esque aesthetic, although I might be completely misremembering in that regard. Does anyone have a clue as to what the game is called? Not even sure where it was announced, but I believe it was in 2014, so might've been TGS, Pax, E3 or Gamescom, if not something else entirely.
Cheers

Arcade game, I played it around 1989 or something.
The game starts with you in some vehicle possibly a Jeep, then it crashes, and you have to go on fighting, is a side scroller, main character looks like Bruce Lee IIRC, the character does this motion with his arms in a circular fashion that when it ends an aura surrounds him, first is pink, then yellow and so on, when you die your spirit in form of an angel is floating around when "Continue 9, 8, 7.." is happening on screen.

Kuri Kinton?
A game I played back in 97/98. In the demo, you were in a beach sort of environment with a static camera and it was some sort of beat-em-up. I remember it having the option of playing as a guy or a girl. One of the places in the game was a beach cave.
Another was a Sierra game from the same period (maybe even the same disc). It was a fantasy game and had a top-down view, it wasn't however an RTS from what I remember. I remember the environments being hand-crafted rather than the maps we see in RTS games.

It wasn't Demon Sword either. It's one of those that I'll know what it is when I see it, unfortunately, I'll never see it.
8-Eyes?
Maybe, Sword Master ?

Kinda has a Castlevania look to it, but didn't see any shops.

I don't think it's Sword Master.
I played it a few times at the most about 22-23 years ago.
All I know that it was a sidescroller, involved the use of a sword, had bosses at the end of every level (I think).

I'm really narrowing it down. /s
And it couldn't be something as common as Ironsword: Wizards & Warriors II, right?

Except for the graphics being comic style, that sounds just like Countdown, including the end.

Sorry but that not it. The player was wearing a blue suit. Also the artstyle was comic.
But thanks anyway.

I played a game a few years ago, can't remember if it was on android or ipod though. It was set in space and you woke up on a craft that been seperated from the main spaceship. You have to find parts for the ship to be able to communicate again. I seem to remember it looked a little bit like asteroid and was very story driven. When i played it it was only the first chapter and was waiting for the second chapter to be made but lost the game.
Any ideas?

The only spy games that come to mind immediately are Operation Stealth/James Bond: The Stealth Affair & Teen Agent. Either of those?

Could anyone tell me the name of that game that's kinda like the movie Running Man? It has co-op and was like a top-down, twin stick shooter.
Smash TV.

No sorry, it looked more comic. The protagonist had black hair for what it's worth. Maybe it was a german only game?
Hi, really hoping you guys can help me out.
I'm trying to remember the names of some mods for the original Quake.
One of them was where you could add in bots of varying degrees of difficulty. I think it's the reaper mod from what I've googled, but were there others?
The other mod was were you had character classes, I always remember going as an engineer and building turrets, I think you upgrade them as well, like an old school team fortress I guess. I can't seem to find what I remember it as exactly on Google.
I would of played these around 1999/2000.
