nope, i think there was like an opening scene with people arriving on motor bikes.
It very much reminded me of something like the warriors films, like with gangs.
Not alot to go on i know, its bugged me ever since lol

I need some help guys. I remember, vividly, reading about a video game on PC with isometric view in a gaming magazine in 2000s. It took place in modern times and it was about some alien invasion or something. I remember the pictures in the magazine were EXTREMELY bloody, I remember one took place in a metro station with huge disgusting monsters with human gore and body parts strewn about everywhere. It looked a bit like Alien Shooter but it was older than that but it was at least as bloody if not more. Any ideas? I have been looking for this game on occasion but never found it, I think it had "extermination" or "extinction" or something in its name.

Could it be Incubation?

From what I recall the view was from much higher and it was possibly just sprites, no 3D models. It all looked pretty crisp and back then 3D models were anything but crisp.

Hey, that could be it, I'll investigate the game further but it does look like that this is the game.
Nearly 8 years later, I happened to come across your post here, Zoopa -- just after I discovered an old CD where by chance we had backed up my childhood games before our big move (and us leaving the childhood computer behind). I think I have the exact game you've been looking for (as I've been looking for it myself for nearly two decades): version 1.2 of Tank Blaster (which looks quite different to version 2.0).I've been looking for a game for quite a while and haven't found it yet (at least that exact version).
The game I'm looking for is very similar to Tank Wars, but that's not it (or might be a newer version of it that I was unable to find)
I have already found (and contribute to) a thread at DOSGames.com where someone else is looking for the exact same game/update/mod.
I have already checked the following games:
* Tank Wars up to version 3.2 (maybe haven't found the newest version..?)
* Scorched Earth
* Pocket Tanks
* ...
General information about the game:
* DOS Game
* Played it on Windows 95, so it existed around 1995
* 2D side view (not top view) tank battle game
* You could only adjust power and angle of your shot (and choose weapons)
* Up to 8 (or 6?) Tanks could play at the same time
* Tanks couldn't move
* After each round, you could buy weapons (small boms, nukes, bees, ...)
As mentioned before, it's very similar to tank wars, except:
* Ground was sand instead of grass
* AI opponents had different names than in the original Tank Wars. I remember Prof. Nuke and Mr. X
* The shortcut on my PC was called TANK, though that might not mean anything
Most significant thing about the game:
* There is always a cloud in the sky
* On most (all?) maps there is a palm tree
* If the tree or the cloud got hit by a tank, they would open their eyes and get angry
* When too angry, the cloud would kill the current player with lightning
* The tree would laugh when the cloud was about to kill a player
I really hope someone here knows the game! Thanks in advance
I've had it uploaded to the Internet Archive, so it doesn't go missing again. If you can, please upload it to other places as well. (I'd upload it here, too, but this forum doesn't seem to support the addition of attachments to posts.)
Great visual description of the game here, by the way!
I can tell you have vivid memories of it. That's something we share. ^_^

Alrighty, I got one...
I'm a bit sketchy on the details... When I was younger, in the 90s I'd say, there was a game at the arcade I used to play with my brother.
It's was a beat-em up type game. Similar to double dragon, but more 3D.
You could pickup weapons off the ground like knives, pistols and machine guns.
I feel like the first mission was on a aircraft carrier? Could be wrong. From memory during levels, or perhaps between levels there was a quick time event.
For eg, I vaguely remember one QTE was running down a hallway towards and enemy and you both had to push a button at the same time to fly kick someone lol.
Any ideas?

This game my brother once bought
You start off as a knight? You use your sword to kill a bunch of enemies then the King calls you and asks you for help....
That's all I remember, the game was from the late '90s to the early 2000s
Swords and I think arrow was a big part of the weaponry
Maybe magic as well... I honestly don't remember
Ive never played Thief, but the game does come across as similiar
But more Medieval and focused on combat

I also have a game that is in my head for many years. I played this on Game Boy (i think) and i was in control of a robot and the camera was shifting depending on the stage.
I tried to look it up and i found Contra on the internet but it wasnt it, as i would remember this name

The game had at least one level where you navigated through rooms set in a cliffside like this. I think you had to kill giant spiders or something like that, and there was a door at the bottom of the level that led onto the next level, but was locked until you completed certain challenges in the level or something like that. In my mind it looked a bit like this:
I think it was a PS3 era game, but could be wrong. Pretty sure it wasn't any earlier than that.

2D sidescroller where you throw either bones or something else (wood? depending on if you ran out?) at a T-Rex at the end of a level

LordOfChaos could be Joe & Mac.
Yeah I think it was! I could have sworn it was flipped the other way though, is this just the video?

Never played the game myself, only remember it because of a VHS tape I had as a kid with a bunch of trailers. But I remember the dino being on the left, yep.

I had a pc game in the late 90s I think. It was a 3d rpg. Pretty good graphics for the time. It wasn't an elder scrolls title. Sadly that's about all I can remember about it. I think about it all the time though so if someone has any guess about what it could be based on that tiny amount of info it'd be awesome.

Nope. Looked at some gameplay and it doesn't look familar. I think the game starts out in a forest or village? Once again I know it's almost nothing to go on lol.

Nope that's not it...I think it was ESWAT. Was there both side scrolling and isometric mech gameplay in that game?Metal Marines maybe?
EDIT: Started looking up videos. The closest thing to it was Final Zone. I think that was it but I couldn't tell you. I think my uncle rented it for me from Blockbuster.

Played it on MS Dos I think or windows. You played as a dude with blonde hair if memory serves me right snd rode like a skateboard or something like that from left to right and I think you had a gun and it was a stylized game kind of cartoony. To this day, I can't remember it or find it.

there's two games i used to play and i have not been able to find them, they are both diablo-style games from the late 90's early 2000's
one i remember was set maybe in the future, the main character sort of looked like Blade and i just remember walking around throwing fireballs at enemies
the second is fantasy setting, similar to diablo but in this one you could have a party of 3 or 4

Two that I'd love some help with. Both NES.
1. Werewolf with sword hands. Cover was him busting out of a yellow background.
2. Fat russian dude who could breathe fire. I think he had a top knot style hair cut. Didn't wear a shirt. Red pants. I think it starts with a K. Possibly had a cameo in Bad Dudes (hella underrated game)
