Interesting, that's not exactly what I remember it looking like, but it seems right. I'll look up some videos and see if it jogs my memory.Rabbitwork said:sounds like maybe shivers 2?
i couldn't find it but i'm almost positive you encounter a room with a cow skull prominently displayed early in the game.

I wonder if someone can help me find these games:
Thanks!
- Really old MS/DOS game, you played with a naked guy (you could actually see his "manhood" when you turn from one side to the other). He swimed like a dolphin and i think it was set in Atlantis or Atlantida;
- Another MS/DOS game, side-scrolling adventure. A guy with a gray and green (i think) armor. I think theres DUG or DIG in the name. Well he could dig holes with something!
Thanks!
I need some help with this one game. It was a PC game about resource trading with a bunch of alien races. There was flying involved too. If I had to guess the year, around 1995?
It had Bach's Brandenburg concerto playing in one of the menus.

All 2D art as far as I can remember.

Gaf, i need help finding an old obscure title.
I remember playing it on DOS in da old days. The game was kinda like Kins Quest, a point and click adventure in a magical land. But the main person was a girl, (rosa ? something) Also you could die in a million ways, i remember a forest where the branches would hit you etc, i also remember something about getting to an island via a whale or something, and on that island there was a tower with some quest in it.
It all sounds very vague, been trying to find it some years now, but no luck.
Thanks

This is not an easy one I guess.
I think it was back in 87-88. I played a game on our classroom "computer" which was an Amstrad CPC or something like that, I'm not sure.
Anyway, you control a guy firing a gun and throwing grenades in a top down action game where you can not scroll back so you keep advancing.
In my memories the game features only 4 levels and finishing them warps you to the beginning where the enemies become stronger and so on, I'm not sure if the game features an ending.
All the enemies are green except for the final one who is red and the guy you control is blue.
The 4 levels are as the following:
1- a sort of forest where you are attacked by soldiers like you.
2- a plain where you fight tanks but you can only destroy them by either using grenades or ride a tank yourself (blue/red tank). There are small tanks and big ones. If your tank is hit, you can jump out of it then return back and it is repaired like by magic. I don't remember the exact process though.
3- you cross a sea where you continue to fight the same tanks (you tell me how is that possible)
4- you arrive to a sort of a fortress where you fight again the same tanks and you have to beat a sort of a red tank to clear the level.

I've got one that's been bothering me since forever. It was a 2D shooter with top-down view, and in the first levels you moved through a maze shooting other dudes and finding cards to open locked doors to advance to the next one. I *think* it was an MS-DOS game that I played on Win95, but I was a small kid then, I might be wrong. I do remember a friend gave it to me in a pirated floppy. All my memory can gather makes me think it was generic crap from the shareware era that no one will remember, but the 6 or 7 years-old me demands that I ask anyway. Help me scratch that itch in the back of my mind, GAF.
EDIT: Ha! I suddenly remembered the game had 'dogs' somewhere in his name, and it turns out I'm not the only one that remembers it. I can even download it now: CYBERDOGS. Let's ruin some fond memories!

Thanks for the answer but that's not it...mrplaid said:
After doing some research I found a number of games like that on the machine. I guess they were into the genre top down military action back then (predecessors of modern FPS? maybe).
But I didn't find the game I'm talking about...
Lets see if I remember this correctly.
I remember playing a game on the N64 long ago that was a FPS with monsters in it (oh yeah like we didn't get many of those).
Anyways this game was in like in an abandoned city and you could go down in the sewers. I remember walking down a tunnel once and this monster just jumps down in front of me and scared the living crap out of me.
I must confront my fear Gaf. Help me slay the monster!
I have no faith in people helping me out (not because you guys are going to ignore me) but because I gave the least descriptive summary of a game.

Try check YS 2 ( but it was never released on SNES ) or Lufia 1.Boney said:

There are GoldenEye, Perfect Dark by Nintendo.
Port from PC games like Hexen, Quake, Duke Nukem.
And original games from Acclaim like Turok 1&2, Armorines ...
What kind of monsters those were ?
I would say to check first Duke Nukem and Turok 2.

I know this is pretty obvious, but could you be remembering Turok 2? You're definitely in a sewer-type area at one point, and the creatures tend to jump out at you sometimes.

Ikari Warriors, Guerilla War and Victory Road are the only one I can think that would fit, I remember a few similar games like Who Dares Wins II and Commando but they were single player with no vehicles.

It was a DS mystery/adventure game. I remember hearing about it on podcasts.
But it was like, you're investigating a murder and on one screen is the crime scene 50 years in the future, and on the other screen its the crime scene right after it happened. You somehow make comparisons between the two sections and solve the case that way.
It always sounded really really cool.

There's this Game Boy/Game Boy Color (I can't quite remember which) puzzle game. It's a Tetris-clone with Mario characters (Yoshi, for one). There were boses, IIRC. There was also a Blaarg boss. =d

I did a search to see if this one may have already been in the thread, but couldn't really figure out any good keywords to search, and it's been driving me NUTS all day.
This was a SNES game, where you could play as 1 of 3 robots, I believe you could even swap them out during gameplay. (Maybe not). There was a red robot with a whip/gun thing, a blue one with maybe just a standard gun that you could free aim, and a cat robot that could fit where the other 2 couldn't, and I think roll into a ball.
I think there was even an upgrade component via orbs or xp or something to that nature.
Any ideas?

there was this game on the PC, think played it first time 15 years ago, that there was a boy with a hood and was riding something that he used to jump and I believe there was a dog as well, there was also an overworld map, it was a platformer as well, and Sci-Fi I believe!
