Ghouls N Ghosts too obvious... maybe Sparkster? I guess you'd remember the knight in armour being an opossum though. XD

I remember a game (from the late 90's I think, on a CD-ROM) where I controlled some kind of robot/mech. It was a topdown shooter/rts (but I only controlled one robot). You had power-ups and if I'm not mistaken I was not only fighting other robots, but also infantry (not sure if they were human). There was blood (some gore maybe) as well.
Could it be Ghost in the Shell? I remember playing this from a demo disc on PS1.

arcade fighting game, and depending on the damage, players would lose limbs. varied fighters. It was pretty corny looking but i remember playing at some arcade. was def mid 90s era. It was pretty graphic with the violence

Another NES Ninja game. Recall that it was from an overhead / almost isometric view. Despite a ninja being the protagonist, there was almost no fighting. I remember walking around a garden in the first level, and needing to "attack" a raft to push it down a stream, in order to jump off of it to cross said stream. Timing the jump was also impossible. I think I remember running away from swarms of bees or something too.
Good luck!

...and that was it indeed. Well done.
There was a game I played as a kid.. I was around 7 or so.
It was for Sega genesis, I think you were a caveman/in a primitive society. All I remember was that it wasn't a normal platformer, and night and day went by. I think it was a SIM type game.
It's a long shot if anyone knows, but it's seriously bothered me forever. As a kid I was just too young to understand the game, and now that I'm older, I don't know what the game is.

I need help.
It's an FMV game. You're a spy. The first level, you fight some thief off in your apartment. There's a level where you are on a rocket powered wheel chair.

Fox hunt
Alright, PS1 game, 3D, I *think* it had local multiplayer.
All I remember it had some sort of battle arena that was a big cube that could rotate around. You could stand on any plane and not fall off. I remember the characters being blue and red, for some reason.
I think I played it from one of those PS Official Mag demo disks or something.

there was this arcade game, it was set in a class room and you had to bump the other students out of their seats and not let the teacher catch you. I played this game a lot as a kid growing up at a local hamburger stand

There was a awesome game that I remember playing when I was 8-9 for the GBA that was an action rpg that had a lot of different classes and most importantly, coop up to 4 players.
I remember playing as a ninja with my friend, this game reminds me of Monster Hunter just for the city, It was a place when you armored up, put the money on the bank (Because if you died, you lose A LOT of money) and you select which place will you go next. I don't remember if It had sidequests.
And another that I remember that I really liked back in the day was a jrpg with turns based combat in the NDS, in which you have to use the NDS like a book and the plot was very focus on the "destiny" and things like that.
Someone can help me? Especially in the GBA one, I never owned my own cartridge (Me and my friends used to rent it) and It's just missing in my collection.

I googled it and no, I don't think this is it, but maybe my memory has fused several games into one? Thanks, though.
You sure it was Amiga? Maybe Peter Pack Rat for Commodore 64/ZX Spectrum?

GBA one is maybe Shining Soul 1 or 2. The Ninja mention makes me think that it is this.
Avalon Code is the DS one.
I'm not sure, no, but that's not it, I don't think ... but the gameplay is pretty spot-on.
I think that is it...not the space stage i remember exactly though. it was one with several slides. thanks though.

Thanks! It was Shining Soul 2. But the NDS one is not Avalon Code, It's a classic jrpg with turn based combat (Sorry for not mention that)

I feel this one may be pretty obscure and my memory of it is a bit fuzzy so i'll do my best...
It was an original gameboy game, and I'm pretty sure it was an import (unless you couldn't normally play JPN gameboy games on a US gameboy) that I bought "used" at Kmart way-back-when. You played as a ninja and I'm pretty sure it had an overhead view like zelda. I can't remember if the game played like a rogue-like, or if that's my memory playing tricks on me. But I think I remember picking up leaves as items and maybe having a spear or something and going through some maze like areas maybe.
After reading that again I realize its vague as hell. If anyone can actually figure out what game I'm trying to describe then you're probably some sort of sage lol.

I remember when I was a wee lad in the late 90's-early 00's there was a 3D RC-car game that I played on one of the PCs at CompUSA. Anyone know it? I think the level I played took place in a back yard, and there were little ramps and stuff to jump off of. It had Playstation era graphics too.

I need help finding the name of a game that has started many arguments in my friend circle.
There was a game that was announced around E3 2005 or 2006. I believe it was for Xbox 360. From that day I always called it Rage, which apparently was like 2-3 years prior to Rage being announced, which is what causes the arguement because I refuse to call it anything else and my friends do not remember it.
It was a short teaser showing a dark and gloomy building, and eventually an old man comes into frame and begins talking and telling a story. I always called him a monk because he wore a bowl shaped hat that I always compared to the one Raiden wears in Mortal Kombat. I recall there being like tokens or something dangling from the hat.
It's an awful discription and I cannot find the game. Can't even find the teaser now. I refuse to admit that I am making this up and if anyone can help me, I know Gaf can!

That's probably it! Thanks!
You're welcome X3. You know this thread is a good way for me remembering some childhood games..so i think i will continue.
There was this game on the ps1 that you control some kid with a baseball cap. i remember the controls being like controling like a tank. you shoot what seemed to be bubbles out some gun. and i think i remember the game over screen is the kid being in a hour-glass or something...I cant' recall much more than that...perhaps for good reason. oh and when i saw Sonic R and Toy Story 2's company showcase *the part that comes when you first start the game*, the one with the fox seems familar.
Rest
All these years later I still chuckle at what a fucking moron that guy is.
After watching videos I think it could be Mystical Ninja ft. Goemon. Thanks!

Can you help me?
I'm looking for a PS2 (or maybe sixth gen) game, which is about a roman guy, who is avenging his family, after he made to be a gladiator. I've only heard about a game (on the school yard) I always wanted to try that game, but never had a PS2, and I can't remember the name. I've never seen to game, so maybe my description is not accurate.

Need help trying to find a steam game. You play as some type of alien goo creature held captive in a human laboratory. Your goal is to escape captivity. The game is played is from a 2d side scrolling perspective with 2d sprite graphics.
