I'm not sure that narrows it down much (although my gut's saying to take a look at the SMT games, maybe Soul Hackers). Can you think of anything more unique?

Absolutely perfect!
Yeah I think it came on either a Playstation Underground or Playstation JamPack around that time. I miss those demo discs that had a ton of demos plus some imports on it. I played a lot of that Ore-no Ryouri game.

If I recall correctly, it was set in a high school or something, if that helps.
That feels even more like something from the SMT family. Perhaps the original Persona (Or Revelations: Persona to use the title it would have had in the US)

It's a Japanese Gameboy platform/action game, with a Ninja theme. It also has a little puzzle element. The protagonist uses three weapons, a sword, a gourd,, and a Japanese floding fan
.
That's all I have, any idea?
If you mean Gameboy Color, it sounds like Samurai Kid

I've tried to find the name of a PS2 fighting game that had a chicken (or cock) as an alternate character.. . There was a demon like guy wearing a red armor who wields a sword as well. I only remember that the chicken/cock's name is "Pollo".
It was hilarious to listen to the announcer screaming "POLLO Vs. POLLO!"

You are definitely right, thanks!

I'd have to imagine you're thinking of Mace: The Dark Age on Nintendo 64.

Game played: Before 1999 on PC
B/W, Green, or Color? Color
Genre: shooter
Gameplay: After the install, when opening the game it read files on your HDD. The game provides different play-modes where contents on your hard drive become the enemy, and you should shoot them down.
For instance, you have a My Music folder that will fly around your desktop, you could kill it, or it becomes an item used in the game.
I forgot the other play modes but it was soooo much fun!
anyone? anyone?

Everything except the platform you mentioned matches up with Mace: The Dark Age, which was an N64 game.
Wow! Great job, I've been looking for that for years. Thanks a bunch!
Inner Space.
It was a LONG time ago when I played it, but you can still buy it on Software Dynamics' website. Haven't tried it in a long time, but man it was a great game for its time. It has a demo which is probably what you played (gated progress to a certain point).

Ok, hopefully someone will know this:
1991 or 1992
space combat
PvP
dogfighting
top down view
It was two player on the same keyboard/screen, and each player had a bunch of different types of ships they could choose from. The one I remember most clearly was a small, fast round ship that was super maneuverable.
It's definitely NOT Wing Commander or Wing Commander II from what I can find on google.

Thanks guys, you are absolutely correct! That explains why I struggled so much to find it; all this time I thought it was a PS2 game.
Much appreciated.
That could be Star Control.

Star Control or Star Control II.
Edit: Dammit.
YES! That's it, thanks folks!

My brain is failing me, what's the PC racing game where you can build tracks and go around loops and whatnot? It's popular and I know the name, I've just temporarily forgotten.
Trackmania.
I remember playing this beat em up, can't remember the name, but it had as bosses one guy with a giant ticket puncher and he would go "tickets please" while cutting you with it also some sort of adonis statue boss as well, if anyone could help me with the name it would be appreciated.

Thanks. I knew it haha!
This game reminded me of lose/lose, with the twist that the destroyed alien/file is, well, destroyed.
Don't play it.
That is the game, thanks a lot.

Wonder if anyone can help... An arcade racer in the vein of Chase HQ where you race between checkpoints in what might have been a Porsche. The twist is that you've got a bomb in the trunk which will detonate when the clock runs out. Wondered about this for ages!

Arcade beat em up, similar characters to dark stalkers although only 4, one was a mummy of sorts, the other a vamp, a female character and one other. Circa MK2 as the two cabinets were next to eachother.
Edit: Could very well have been the game night slashers that i just found. I may be wrong. Any insight is appreciated.

Konami's Hot Chase ?
i remember playing this one game, it was either on NES, or the SNES
it believe the cartridge had a picture of a warrior or his face, but holding a sword on the cover ,but the name was scratched out so i never really knew what i was playing, but i remember a section trying to climb a mountain hopping on rock platforms trying to go higher.

That's it - wow you guys are amazing, thanks for this!
Okay I got another one...
So this game came out around 2005 for PC. It may have been a Korean based MMO/Dungeon Crawler type game. It was drawn in a very cartoony chibi style and the characters were elemental based. It was a top down view and you would go through these maps and kill skeletons if I recall correctly. You would collect elemental cards that you could then use to upgrade your weapons. I know there was a mage type girl that floated around and I think your typical fighter guy with a sword.

So all I remember is that you start in front of a house and you can go either left or right.
I think it was a SNES game and it was a pretty derivative but difficult platformer. I think you could climb up the house if you wanted to also.
Any ideas? I just can visualize the begining of the game and the feeling of playing it. It's been killing me!

Possibly either The Addams Family or Pugsley's Scavenger Hunt; both start in a main hall but can easily transition to outside where you can climb the house.

This game was on those giant floppy discs for old apple computers. You controlled a fish and ate algae.
And there was a game for macs where its first person and you can like solve puzzles to get a key to open a castle door and stuff.
There's one where you control this dude running around snowy cold place and throw snowballs and solve math.
Sorry for posting so many at once. Nostalgia wave ;;

Every time I see this thread I think of the same game but I don't think I've ever posted here.
An early MegaDrive platformer with a strong circus theme (or at least one of the early levels did) and very probably a Japanese name. The only other thing I have is there was a power up that had you leaving trails of yourself behind it like a Ginei-Jin.

First one might be Odell Lake, third one might be Treasure MathStorm, although that's more with the gathering rather than throwing of snowballs

Perhaps you're thinking of Odell Down Under? I remember playing the shit out of that game in elementary school.

That game is definitely called Marvel Land. The trails gave it away.
Sadly not! I remember the name but I never rented it.
Yes, thanks! It was called Talmit's Adventure here for some reason which isn't Japanese at all but at least there was a name in the title, I remembered that much.
