Body Harvest or Armorines?
That's not the one, it looks interesting though I might have to check it out.
Holy shit, THAT'S IT!
Thanks!
It was Armorines

I've got one maybe some can help me with, never been able to find it using google fu. Point and click adventure game from the 90s (first person), it starts on a spaceship and iirc you're trying to find parts to get your ship off the planet you've landed (crashed?) on. I remember this drink machine on your spaceship that was kind of a puzzle where you had to mix different flavors/ingredients from different spouts. Not a lot to go on I know but those are the details I remember.
I have two games I cannot for life of me find. I played them in elementary school in the late 80's and early 90's.
1. It was a math game and you played as robots. I remember playing against my friends. You had to answer addition and subtraction questions to move along and it was a race to the bottom.
2. It was a rabbit hide and seek game. Pretty sure the game took place in a carrot patch. You had to click on a carrot to find the rabbit hanging off the carrot. When you found him a song played, 'hit the road jack...'

Hmm... the first one sounds like one of the Jumpstart games. Or maybe Math Blaster.
It's not math blaster or number munchers
Thanks though.You start at the top and when you answer a math question right, you move along a line. Then it's the other player's turn. There are quite a few lines to decend until you reach the bottom.

There was a game in the early 90s called Pocket and Tails Go Exploring or The Wanderoos Go Exploring. It's kangaroos, but they looked like rabbits and it definitely had a hide and seek game in it.

Headlander by Double Fine.

SNES game where I think you are ninjas and get into random battles walking from town to town. Battles are beat em up style, and I think it's two players.

After doing my own search, I'm pretty sure this was Super Ninja Boy.

This one will be tough...
PC game
96-97 perhaps?
3D
Could drive on roads I believe were sort of hilly and maybe mountainous. I remember so little about the specifics its near impossible.
I seem to remember it having extras beyond just cars though but it was still mostly a pure racing game. As far as I know it was only on PC. If I saw some video or screens it would likely jog my memory of it but I simply can't remember the details of cars or how it looked.

I remember a ps1 game that opened with a mission that consisted of an infiltration+sniping through a building
I think it played like third person shoot em up, with split screen pvp (what a fun mode that was)
There was also a hard Af tank in rhe middle of the game.
The theme was spies I guess.

Was it one of the Test Drive games?

Most likely Hammer of the Gods.
Felt like some kind of predecessor to Heroes of Might & Magic.
Sadly, it wasn't. I'm beginning to think it was more a digital board game-style than anything else. Abstract pieces/runes etc.

I'm looking for an old DOS game from the early 90's (i think.)
Its a fantasy game where you are supposed to defend your castle from invading monsters. You can summon your own monsters to defend and you have the option to mix different kind of monsters to get new breeds. And there is a option to get down on the battlefield and fight yourself. If i'm not mistaken you ride down in a flying chariot.
EDIT: Someone told me it was Dominus.

I remember this old two-player car battling versus game on the Acorn Archimedes.
Top-down, light background, no scrolling, just two cars (one red, one blue I think) with projectile weapons. It had tank controls, accelleration, and randomly spawning weapon powerups like machine guns, a big cannon, and an orbital spikeball.
Help me out, GAF.

I've never even heard of Acorn Archimedes to my knowledge, but I'm pretty sure this is your game: Car Wars

This one is tough. I remember playing the Terminator 2 console (clone of an NES I believe) and one of the games was a side-scroller/beat-em-up that had the main character modeled from the Crash N' The Boys game on NES. One of the boss fights had you jumping/kicking either a golden statue or mask.
I believe one of the games was part of a 4 in 1 or 60 in 1.

Reader Rabbit?
If not, maybe Tuneland?
Sorry for the late replies guys. Not either of those games
Really appreciate the help though, you guys are great. Funny story - I ran into my grade 5 teacher a couple of days ago and asked her about the games. She looked at me funny lol. I mean, ya, this was 25 years ago, but c'mon, how could she forget! We played those games so darn much. Ah well.

Basically when I was younger I remember playing a really janky game on Playstation. It was either horror themed or very dark. You played as someone in black robes who walked really slow, he was bald too. The front cover had him surrounded by blue lightning.
The gameplay itself was quite obtuse - it was a third person game where your character was dead center in the cam. You had abilities but I remember being young and not being able to work out exactly what they did. One of these abilities was a very slow firing blue orb.
If I remember right I think you were an exorcist or a ghostbuster of sorts.
I swear the title was Legacy of Darkness or Masters of Shadow or something like that, but all my searchs do not come up with the game that I remember.
Anyone able to help me?

Could be Ninja Shadow of Darkness, going on the name alone.

Definitely not. Main character is a bald guy in a black robe, not a Ninja.
It's absolutely killing me that I can't remember the name of this ;_;

This a pretty vague memory so I might remember things wrong or mix things together:
In the amiga days i remember playing a colorful wacky isometic collect the dots like game. It wasn't anything Pacman, but similar in terms of gameplay, to the isometric Pacman game. I remember levels that had a street-theme and perhaps a hotdog enemy. Maybe it was only a bonus stage for some other type of game, since I havent been able to find it in any database of Amiga games. It could be that I'm wrong and its for the pc instead.
Any help is appreciated.

Pacventure ? PC though.
I remember nothing like that on amiga but of course i only know 90% of Amiga library
Looong time ago I saw a fighting game in arcades. 2D sprites, I think 3D wasn´t still a thing. One of the chracters was an old woman with white hair who could double jump and had an attack where she used her dentures to bite the opponent. I think another character was a guy dressed as a rabbit, but I´m not sure of this. There was also someone who threw hearts around, again not sure if this was the old woman or a different character.
I never saw the game again, but I´ve never forgotten it, it looked really cool. Someone please help me!

I remember playing a game on the PS1 where you either were a vehicle, or drove a vehicle, like a motorcycle, and you would fight other vehicles while driving down long highways. There would be a boss at the end of each level and one particular level I could remember had a boss that was like a helicopter and it would hover along the highway with you shooting at you while you had to take it down. I think you had a choice between blue and red motorcycles? This is all probably super vague but I'm pretty sure it was Japanese, but I just remember playing it with my brother and it was a ton of fun
That´s it!! i´ve been asking myself which game it was for ages!! Thanks a lot!!

Good suggestion, but I'm sure that isn't it.

Breh.
In case you're curious, the Archimedes was more or less a British Amiga. Ran RISC OS and shared a bunch of games with it.
Ah, those were the days.
Now watch me get slammed by retro-GAF for making that comparison.

Old PC game where you were in a hovercraft exploring a maze. It's what I always played in primary school when I got free time. This would be in the 90s or early 2000s.

Yep, that's it, never knew that it was included with every PC, thanks.

Looks similar but I don't think it's that one, I don't remember him changing forms, and the levels were all very green and colorful.
I think he went up and down on branches or big roots.
I didn't like the game much so I don't remember how much I advanced in it. My mom used to rent the same couple of games.
The name could be the character's name, starting with "Y" maybe.
Hard one here :
