Games you remember, names you don't

Really vague with the details here...

But does anyone recall an old PC game with an isometric view where you maybe played as a Viking or similar character where you had to get a blue cube in a building that would give you lightning powers I think. And you had to dodge snakes or another animal to get to this cube?

I played this ages ago and I've been meaning forever to figure this out, thanks.

There are a couple of games I have fond memories of whose names I can't remember.

The first one was a very popular game with a black cat jumping on windows and buildings. In the second game, you controller a guy with a bow (on the left side of the screen) and popped balloons using arrows.

Please help me GAF!

Anyone help me remember the name of a fun coin-op I played for a few weeks once?

It was out around mid to late 80s / early 90s and featured two goals, one at the top of the screen and one at the bottom. You have to ping the ball into the goals and you competed against different characters - I remember a sumo wrestler being one of the opponents.

Later stages changed the playing field a bit, by doing things like putting pegs in the goals that you had to knock out with the ball.

I think the game was either taito or konami but I'm not 100% certain on that....

Found this and got interested! Really wanna know what it is :( Anyone?
 
A childhood game memory has surfaced recently and been bouncing around in my head for a couple days; curious if GAF can ID the game. I believe it was a samurai combat game for Windows 3.1 or DOS (probably DOS) that I was playing in the early or mid-90s. I remember the yin yang and Japanese armor being featured somewhat prominently and it may have had Bushido in the name, but maybe not.

I'm pretty sure the game was not Sword of the Samurai. It is also not First Samurai or Bushido. I think it was basically a fighter but there might have been some other mechanics as well. And it crashed a lot!

I know exactly what game you're talking about: Sango Fighter!

I was watching cinematech on techtv and a game came up with the title "Golf?" and the system listed 'PC'
it was a 3d game, it was a golf game but in liek a wireframe form in a blakc environment with no textures on anything
It was pretty wierd, there may or may not have been an astronaut playing golf it might have been a stick figure that was simply all white
Could never find any pics of it off the title alone
 
I was talking with some friends about some old PSX games, brought back a memory of a game I once rented but I can't for the life of me remember what it's called. It was an arcade-y racing game, think Micro Machines except not. The cars were small, the camera was zoomed out quite far too. There may have been weapon pickups but I can't say for sure.

I certainly remember a stage being set in waterways in Venice, another being set in a snowy mountain with lots of hills and another stage being in a canyon with lots of bridges over big drops. There were probably more but I can't remember them.

Any help?

Awesome thread. Well done to the original poster that thought of this. I'll help out where I can too. Now onto my curiousity:

A game on the Commodore 64. The only thing I remember is that it is a spaceship shoot'em up with graphics similar to Astroroid, and the main title screen had this really catchy electronica song featuring voices. I think it sounded like it was saying "meter- ter-righ- righ! meter- ter-righ- righ!". I also remember that there was a female voice in the game that provide comments as you go along. ...

Unfortunately, that's all I can remember. After 15 years, that's all I can remember. :( I wish I knew the name of the game so it would put my curiousity to rest.
 
Don't laugh, but a game on the 32x, 3d space fighter game... was just really really fun for some reason and i played the crap out of it. Wasn't even that great looking, just 3D was so cool back then. Can't remember the name.
 
Looked at this this afternoon and was going to check reviews but now I forget the name.

It's a 360 game, I think the first word is Project - but it's not Project Sylpheed. Something with P anyway.

It looked like a Western RPG (I'm not actually sure what it was) and boasted about the cut scenes on the box. Damn my feeble brain.
 
There was a game I wanted so desperately to play but it was never released on consoles (to my knowledge, please somebody prove me wrong!) and I still to this day haven't played it, or even know what it's called.

It's a Sega game and I saw a small 15 second snippet of it on TV about 10 years ago and have never forgotten it. I was a huge fan of Jet Set Radio and this looked as if it was a quasi-sequel. It was cel-shaded in the same style though featured a character on a motorbike instead of skates. It seemed to retain the basic gameplay as in speed and getting chased by cops.

I'm guessing it remained arcade only and Japan only as I haven't heard mention of it again :(

Any chance it's Alpha Protocol? Only thing that really comes to mind but the box doesn't appear to boast about cutscenes.
 
There was a game I saw on a thread here but I cant remember the name of it.It was for the PC and I looked through the PC screenshot thread hoping to find it, but no avail.It looked like a puzzle game, but it used giant 3D hexagons that were colored very brightly.It was also an indie game if remember correctly, I wish I could provide more information, but that's all I remember.Any input is appreciated, thanks.

Able to describe a little more? How giant are you talking? While not hexagons perhaps it's Rush. It uses cubes that roll across the playing field but it's very bright and colorful and fairly recent so possibly screencaps are going around.

It's not Rush.There were giant formations of hexagons, they looked like beehives almost.
 
Heres a vague one..

I remember a game, I believe it was a space-flight simulator. I only had the demo where you could fly as a scorpion ship, a UFO and something else. There was a crap ton of hot keys and every button did something. On would self destruct, and IIRC there was no option to have it check if you were sure so if you hit it would would lose instantly.

I had this demo when I was really little (like 15 years ago) but my brother stepped on the disk (yes demo on a disk) and broke it...
 
There was an arcade game around 1996 or 1997 that I played ONCE in a trip to Italy.

it had the exact same layout from Bubble Bobble or Snow Bros but this was eerie and you controlled a Grim Reaper, there were lots of golden money bags.

Anyone knows anything related to this?
 
I'm posting this for a friend who needs help with finding some games.

The first game is on PS2. It was a kind of puzzle game/jeopardy game involving ghosts. A bit like Mario Party but on the PS2 with ghosts. After a few games you played some boss. Everything was set in a kind of "halloween" setting, a big mansion i think. Everything looked cartoonish.

The other two games were on the PC. When I was about 10-11 years old, (I'm 19 now) my mom got a new PC from my dad for her birthday. It was a really big stationary PC. Gray, mechanical keyboard, huge(!) screen. Can't remember which one though, but you get the picture. Now here is what I'm getting at. The PC came with two (or more, I only remember these two) games.

The first one was a Barney (yes the purple dinosaur) game. He ran across the screen and you had to kill him (lol). There were different levels and as you progressed you got more weapons, as it got harder. I remember at some time you could drop A-Bombs. They created big mushroom coulds which were left on the screen for some time. When Barney ran across the screen he said something along the lines of "I love you chuckachuck". Your goal was to kill him.

The second game also came with the PC. It was a demo. It was a bit like AOE but it really focused on one city. You played in this city where you had to organize and build everything. You watched as the city grew bigger. It was set in the ancient Rome. You built aqueducts, forums and so on. When you got to a certain population it was game over, because of it being a demo.

That's it, I think. If I can see some pictures I'm sure I can tell if it's the game or not. Thanks in advance! : )

Gregory Horror Show
 
I believe it was a PC game (or port?) made by Sierra and had a StarTrek feel to it. I've played it sometime between 1993 - 1997 and it was quite colourful. I think it was a first person adventure game, but you could also pilot some kind of a space ship (not in space though, you could see some planet's terrain).

Any ideas?
 
I remember playing some kind of side scrolling game on SNES (could've been NES but I think it was SNES) where you could morph into some kind of little vehicle and climb up walls? Or something. And no it's not Blaster Master. That's all I got and it's been bothering me, since I was just a kid when I played it. I played Arcana around the same time period so I'm pretty sure it's on the SNES.
 
Oh yeah! When I was a kid my parents bought this CD called Kids Wincube: Recess that had tons of old PC games on it. There are plenty of games I can't remember the names to. Console wise not so much and that's because they were always a lot more expensive and cherished because of that.
 
The game was on Amiga so I played it around 1990-1992.
It was in "3D" , story was set on some island covered in snow and you were driving around in snowmobile between bases. I think there were rebel forces or something like that.


Other games was also on Amiga. Vietnam war,helicopter crashed and you have to lead your team back to safety. Each team member had stats and you had to rest them, etc.

help me :)

First game, could it be Midwinter (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2RuDX5UkaI).
Second game I think is The Lost Patrol (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HEp7nc-sZ20&feature=related).
