Games you remember, names you don't

A week ago or so people were writing about this ios game. It was a port of a 10+ years old very unique pc viking roleplay / diplomacy game, which looked awesome. You had to send out dudes to explore and make decisions.

Something Pass or Crossing i think. I'd love to play on the pc so help is greatly appreciated.

Not sure if this will be difficult for GAF or not, but I can't remember a game I used to play on PC probably in the 1999-2002 era. I'm pretty sure it was a free game to download. The game played from a top down birds eye view and was based in a futuristic space setting where you manned a simple tank spaceship. The game was played entirely in teams online and the game objective was simply capture the flag. I remember the teams were red, yellow, blue and green at least, and I think something like up to even 20 people would be playing at a time (which seems odd considering back in 2000).

I'm not sure but maybe Starship Troopers: Battlespace? I was hooked on that shit on AOL as a kid. Apparantly it was developed by (EA) Mythic.

Sorry for no links, posting from PS3 :/

King of Dragon Pass?
 
Here's one, it's a Doom style first person shooter with the player's face indicating your health. Whenever you get shot a section of skin is taken off of the face until you die, when you die the little face at the bottom is a skull. Any ideas?
 
Okay, so there was this old game I used to play on my first Windows 95 PC. You played as a red spaceship flying around a grid. You viewed the action from a birds eye view and shot down grey enemy spaceships as they flew around the grid. Thas pretty much all there was to it. I wanna say it was called something similar to "Star Raiders"...

Please help, this is driving me crazy.

Subspace. Now known as Continuum.
 
Back when I was in elementary school in the mid-to-late 90s, we had a bunch of educational games in the school computer lab. Stuff like Reader Rabbit, Super Solvers, The Incredible Machine, Oregon/Amazon Trail, Cross Country Canada, etc.

I'm trying to remember the name of one game. It was sort of like a visual novel about the first day of school. It was pretty short and really just a series of multiple choice questions. I remember playing through it several times, trying to figure out all the good answers. The graphics were quite primitive, similar to the old Cross Country Canada.
 
I vaguely remember a third person military shooter for the PC many years ago. I think it was a free game because I played in when I was very young and didn't really buy many games and had a crappy PC. For some reason I think its name is Outpost, or something like that, but I cannot find anything about it D:

Outwars?

The military aspect throws me a bit, but could it have been an early Spec Ops game?
 
So, I was talking with a friend about old RPG's and we remembered this RPG which came on a PSX magazine demo disc in the late 1990's (1998? maybe, can't say for sure).

It was turn based combat, and had the standard pre-rendered backgrounds with bad 3d models for characters. You started in a fairly large city (I vaguely remember stone walls) and during the demo you had to possibly go to the outskirts of the city to some guy's hut, speak with him and you then ended up in the forest outside. I don't remember much of the plot, I vaguely recall stone artifacts being of some significance (ie had to find stone altar, take something or whatever). I want to say there were slime monsters in the forest, which made me go to Dragon Quest but that wasn't it.

Any ideas?

Last night I was thinking about this game I played I think it was on either Dreamcast or PS1. It was driving some little RC cars outside but that's all I really remember. It was a racing game featuring RC cars or something.
 
Okay Gaf, I've been wanting to know the name of this game and I can't remember it at all. My memory of it is very vague so I don't know if anyone can help me.
It's a PC game and it's probably fan made. I know that it's more than 7-10 years old. The main character's room in transported into space.(I remember everyone having a tough time getting out of his room.)The whole game is about trying to get the main character back to earth. It was pretty much a point and click game.

Out of Order
 
I only have vivid details of a genesis game I played. I remember playing it through Sega Channel. Basically you could select themed levels(backgrounds) and just messing with animated images(characters/objects). I don't remember a real goal to the game, but it was a good time waster.
 
Anyone remember the space flight first-person shooter (not a sim, just an action game) that came bundled on Windows 98 or ME or something for free? I'd always see it in my start menu for games.

It had a lot of purple.

It's not Freespace. Definitely not a sim. Had decent voice acting. You're shot out of a ship Battlestar style, and fight another big ship. Don't think there were aliens, but could be mistaken.

Hellbender? That had Gillian Anderson doing the voice of the computer AI.

I'm trying to remember this one PC game. It's a pretty old FPS that had to do with giant worms or something.
All I remember is the opening sequence, where you have to use your knife to shatter through a round window and learning how to shoot and drive tanks from some bland yelling officer.

Anyone? I know it wasn't anything to do with Dune, but that's really it.

Catacomb?
 
Not a lot to go on here, but here goes. It was a point and click adventure game (I think) which was at least partially set in a sort of outdoor museum for dinosaur fossils. I remember it having a slightly forboding/creepy soundtrack for some reason, but this is more or less all I can remember.

Oh, and it might of had an educational slant to it.
 
I recently remembered some weird games I had played a long time ago on the Genesis/Mega Drive (I think). Didn't have one growing up, but did play it a lot at other people's homes. In any case these two images are stuck in my head from when I was young:

1) A game with a long top-bottom view (to the point where it looked like a world map) where you seemingly played a knight or something in a medieval world. I distinctly recall leaving a town and being attacked and killed while traveling down a road... constantly. It wasn't a JRPG or anything like that, combat happened on the map.

2) Some game with anime girls. The first level or opening movie (that is how bad my memory is) was all city-like and might have featured an anime girl flying out of a skyscraper window and falling with ripped clothing. Think it might have been a platformer or something... but damn.
 
I remember this mech shooting game with my SNES super scope. The enemy was always a giant robot, shooting things at you, and you had to shoot or dodge the projectiles.

Was hard too, I don't think I ever got past the third enemy.

BattleClash? (the only game I'm even aware of and played for the super scope)
 
A game I want to remember:
It is on the Sega CD. It a quick time event action game where you are alway in the car in a first person view. I believe that the color of the car is red and the graphics is in a japanese anime style.

I'm gonna guess that the second game was Valis III (http://www.giantbomb.com/valis-iii/61-3715/).

The first game might have been Sword of Vermilion (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sword_of_Vermilion).

Hey guys, I have this music track from a, probably, last gen game (PS2, GC, Xbox, DC), but I don't know which game is it:

Track in question

It is probably a Japanese developed game.

So anyone knows from which game is it?
 
This is going to be super vague, but...

I remember playing an RPG on SNES. I borrowed it from a friend, and I don't remember the name.

It was first person, had huge sprites for enemies...and that's all I remember? lol :(

I really want to play it again, but I haven't been able to find anything on it. Does anybody have a list of first person rpgs on the SNES?

haha.

I'm trying to remember the name of an educational game:

  • from the early 90s
  • educational game for PC
  • you played as a lab rat
  • it was full of logical puzzles of all kind

thanks guys!
 
An old C64 game.

A labyrinth game.

Top down view.

One of the regular enemies was a big fly. When you shot it, it disintegrated pixel by pixel (I think).
