Games you remember, names you don't

GAF help me identify the name of this game:
Console: Sega Genesis (Megadrive)
Type: Side scroller
Players: 1-2
Explanation: you can select one character between four, each one specializes in an element (fire, Water, wind, the forth one is earth i guess),,,, the characters shoot this element from their hands and you can keep pressing the bottom in order to charge it (as per megaman),,, at first you can select your stage from different stages, the end boss is anticlimatic where you control a god and you fight another god while flying in the air,,,

I searched everywhere for this game, this was the system seller for the Genesis-megadrive for me along with Thunderforce 3,, helppppppppp
 
I can't remember this game's name:

  • PC, early 90s.
  • First person RPG (a la Eye of the Beholder).
  • You can control a party, and you recruited them in a bar.
  • I'm pretty sure I played the sequel, not the original game.
  • It started in a swamp-like area, and I believe you fought big mosquitoes.

I can't remember the name of this game I played at a convention.

It was on the PS3 and was a fighting game - medieval times sort of inspired. It was definitely out of Japan and looked to have a cool campaign where you earn EXP for your characters as you play. I enjoyed the VS mode too, but really wanted to get it for the campaign mode. I played as this kid knight with sort of over-sized armor and a large sword. Any ideas/help?

Can someone help me figure out the name of this one game. It's a futuristic racer on the ps2. It had different people that had these suits on which had wheels on the feet and hands and you could pull of tricks with the suit while you were racing to gain boost. I think the title started with a K but I can't really remember.
 
Bear with me, this is one vague description.

3D PC game/program, from the 90s. I'm thinking it was an educational game, but it may not have been. One of its features, though not the main point of the game, was going out into this dinosaur-inhabited area. Dinosaurs and eggs everywhere... and I think the way to get there was from a museum.

Had a gray bar at the top as its UI. That's pretty much all I can remember; it's a foggy childhood memory.

Damnit, I know this game, can't remember the title either. I've played it at my friend's way back, but she was BSing me saying it was HoMM4 (because we were addicted to HoMM3 back then). Those mosquitoes really hurt.

edit: Is it Realms of Arkania 2?

The one I'm thinking of isn't this one though, but I can't see it after looking through the FP RPGs on GameFAQs.
 
HELP!!!

Arcade game in late 80's/early 90's. I only saw it in a store in Wickliffe, Kentucky. I thought it was called The Avenger.

It was a (mostly) vertical scrolling beat 'em up. I remember the basic baddie kinda looking like Beavis. The first stage boss was a huge guy swinging a giant ball and chain.

I had so much fun with this game back in the day. I need to know what it was called! Help!

*VERTICAL* scrolling? I must admit, I can't think of any. That said, though, "The Avenger" does at least make me think of Vigilante. That's a very outside guess, mind.

Perhaps it was Two Crude/Crude Buster? http://www.arcade-museum.com/game_detail.php?game_id=10241
 
Im trying to remember a game that i saw here on another thread, i have not played it yet but it caught my attention, it is an online beat em up, the game is in 2d and i think there were kinda mini/chibi characters, the game may be made by an asian developer, and someone was comparing it to castle crashers because of the level up system...
 
I guess I'll give this a shot.
I remember a PC game from the 90s that for the life of me I can't recall.
I believe the game was a point and click game.
You start on a flying pirate ship and I believe your first task is to get off via a plank or a spring board?
You land on these mountain cliffs. There are enemies you have to avoid maybe fight when you arrive.
My memory sucks. :/ But thanks if anyone recognizes it. It was probably a floppy disk game.

It's gotta be Avengers from Capcom. The end of this video has that ball and chain boss you are talking about. You were almost there on the name.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_07SFXd548g
 
YES!!! That's it! Thank you so much. This has been bothering me for so long.

I'd Google search "Avengers arcade" but all I'd get is Capt. America and The Avengers. I didn't know it was made by Capcom.

Quoting myself from a post I made in this thread 3 years ago. I think I actually found out what it was at one point but have since again forgotten it and it's wracking my brain once more.

Scott Pilgrim vs the World.
 
I have no idea what this one is...

Mid/Late 80's arcade boxing game with an overhead view and trackball control for throwing punches.

The first trailer is all APB with the HUD elements turned off, looks like.

I'd be curious to know what the game in the second trailer is, too. Looks okay-ish.

EDIT: The second trailer was a tech demo for Eight Days for the PS3, which was cancelled in 2008. http://www.giantbomb.com/eight-days/61-27763/

EDIT EDIT: nevermind. Damn slow thumbs.

Awesome... I've been looking for this game for years and google just led me back here. I must have a similar memory as that other guy, because I was searching google for amiga games that start in a room with a gun under the pillow

I also only ever played it at a friend's house and I always wanted to finish it

Could have saved myself a lot of trouble if I remembered it was a Dynamix game. Anyways, thanks again

My brother had a game on his Amstrad CPC 464 that I loved playing, I'm pretty sure the characters were Weetabix....

There's a simple space invaders clone named The Weetabix vs. The Titchies.

There's also a more advanced game that was *developed* for Weetabix but they pulled out late on; Paranoid Pete. Can't find much on whether it was actually released or not in the end for the CPC, but here's a Spectrum screenshot.

Finally, there's the most likely prospect, Escape from the Planet of the Robot Monsters, which actually has nothing officially to do with Weetabix... but one particular prevalent early enemy looks a *lot* like a weetabix man.

Thanks for your help but that's not the game. I'm sure the game wasn't in 3D and environments moved blocks by block.
Edit: Just found it on GameFAQs: Ishar 2, Messengers of Doom.

I used to play on Gameboy (or Gameboy Color, I don't remember very good) a puzzle game which I think was similar to Bit Generations: Dialhex (GBA). I think it was included in one of those 32 -in- 1 cartridges. I loved the music of the game! but i don't remember its name :(


Logical or Trouballs, perhaps? Or less likely, Hexcite?

Nope :(, none of them. It was similar to hexcite but like dialhex
 
3D third person shooter from I wanna say around 1999. You have a jetpack and fight bug-like enemies on a desert looking planet. It had a demo?

Oh, I've been looking for this thread and what you're describing is almost exactly what I was going to ask. It's very similar because I remember something about bug-like creatures and the year seems to fit.

I'm trying to remember the name to a Playstation first-person game where there could have been bug-like creatures. I never had a Playstation and it must have been a T or M-rated game because I think that was also the first time I saw someone die in a video game. There was this scientist-looking character which you could kill. Always bugged me and that's the significant detail I could remember.

No it isn't any of those, i forgot to mention that it wasn't scott pilgrim, since that is what the description sounds like, to tell the truth i have no idea when it came out, and i dont think it is a very well known game, the only thing that i remember reading from the thread is that it was a mmo 2d rpg/beat-em up, the the closest thing that i can compare it to, regarding the artstyle, is mapple story.
 
Anyone recalls an arcade game street brawler [Streets of Rage kind of game] where one of the power moves by a character i s cartwheel which makes a circle of fire as the player does it?

Blaze has a cartwheel kick that has a small flame on it, is that what you're thinking of? I believe it's in SoR2 as well as SoR3.

Gonna repost here what I posted yesterday as a thread, seeing as this is a more appropriate place for it:

I am trying to figure out what the fuck this game collection I played when I was much younger was, and more specifically, what one game in the collection was.

The collection itself was sketchy as shit. It had some long, non-catchy title and the cover was red with a yellow Grand Prix car on it. It was a CD, for PC (DOS, I think...?), but it had all kinds of games that had nothing to do with the PC. The best game on there was Megaman X3, and it also had a demo of Earthworm Jim, what I now think was a demo of Starcraft (that I didn't understand at the time...), some 3D frogger, I think a demo of Putt-Putt something (might be wrong on that one), Zyclunt, a game called Moonbuggy with a number after it I think, I think it had Dig Dug and some other older games like Breakout and shit too.

But the one specific game I am trying to remember from it was, if I remember correctly, called "Slayer". It was a hex-based, turn-based strategy game against multiple computer opponents (I think this was also a demo, the option for human opponents was greyed out). You started out with your little amount of territory on a grid of solid color hexes (yours were always light green), with a couple soldier units on the hexes. You got income from the amount of hexes you controlled, and you could either spend the money from that on Castles (which would raise your income and also protect land around them from any of the first two tiers of units) or on more units, which could be a lot of the little soldiers, or fewer of the bigger guys, who were on 4 tiers: soldiers, soldiers with weapons and helmets, guys with full armor and face masks, and finally guys with full armor, face masks, and weapons. You could only kill other units if you outranked them; a soldier vs. soldier fight wasn't allowed, so it was basically a stalemate. The game was AWESOME because of the struggle between having a hugely powerful force and keeping enough income to support that army (if your army was too large for your income, they fucking died THE NEXT TURN). You could always come from behind if you were smart enough, because if you could cut off supply to an army, they'd go from all-powerful to dead. If there wasn't a continuous line of hexes from units to castles, they got zero money, so choke points could put an end to all the units in the world if you weren't carefully positioning units.

Anyway, I half suspect that the collection was some bootleg thing like those N64 controllers with every retro game on them sold in the mall, but if it wasn't, I'd love to know what it was. I mainly really want to play that Slayer game again because it was awesome, so if that rings any bells, that works too.

Do your best GAF! You guys are crazy good at this shit, so I'm sure someone knows what I'm talking about. All help is appreciated, much thanks!
