Games you remember, names you don't

Two games I can't remember the names of.

First one was a Nintendo 64 game, I think, but I also think it later got an updated version on the PS2 or something, but I think I played the N64 version. It was a third-person shooter and I think you were like a spy and were working with a team to stop some terrorists or something.

Second game I think was a PC game, but it might not of been. This memory is a bit more vague. I know it was a FPS and I think the character you played as had blue hair, but that might be me mixing memories up. I'm pretty sure that this game was also freeware and didn't really have a story but it had a level editor. I think the game's name was like some German food for some reason. Like Sauerkraut or Liverwurst or something.

I only know of three Third Person Shooters on the N64, of them, only one involved spies and terrorists...

The other two being Jet Force Gemini and Duke Nuken: Zero hour(You could possibly view this as SpyVsTerrorists if you consider that Nukem does wear a tux and one point and his outfit changes based on location/time and the Aliens are essentially terrorizing humanity...)

Edit: I forgot about Winback.
 

You are correct. I forgot about that one!

Winback (known as Operation: Winback in Australia and Europe) is a third-person shooter video game developed by Koei's Omega Force studio for the Nintendo 64 in 1999 and PlayStation 2 in 2001. A sequel, WinBack 2: Project Poseidon, produced by Cavia for the PlayStation 2 and Xbox game consoles, was released on April 25, 2006.
 
Any chance it could be .kkrieger? It was notable years ago for being so small in size coming out of the gaming demo scene or whatever it's called. I don't believe that had a character but I almost want to say continued efforts at expanding games in that same category of demo scene fps titles might have introduced characters, more enemies, etc. I recall playing one that had more content than kkrieger but I can't say I know the specific title. If anything this could lead you down the right path?
No it wasn't .kkrieger.
 
No that's not it either. I think the game's emblem was a cobra.

Found it.

I remember playing a game on Sega Master System back then, which yet I have to remember. It was a shooter game and the hero of it looked like Indiana Jones but I am sure he was not that. He can walk on the ground and not flying with a jet, shoot in six directions, the setting of the game (if I remember well) was like Amazonian and he wearing a hat. The intro of the game showed an ambulance, a giant spider and web, and the title screen was about a jeep running in a dessert place.
 
Here is one for ya (which may date me a bit, though I've been playing games since I was three)

But I remember a game on what I believe was one of the Atari systems (2600?) where you had to shot giant spaceships as they appeared on screen? I feel like there was a white one, and a pink one. I want to say there was only one ship on the screen at a time and they were quite large. Maybe even a light gun game? Maybe I'm dreaming.

IS THIS REAL LIFE? OR IS THIS JUST FANTASY!?

Aztec adventure fits some of that.

Star Raiders, maybe? Probably not, but figured I'd give it a stab.

Was the view top down like Aztec Adventure or was it a sidescroller?

Star Trek: Strategic Operations Simulator had pretty huge ships to shoot at.
 
Alright this game is old. I remember playing it with a cousin of mine on his comodore 64 and we laughed our ass off.

- Comodore 64 or Early PC not entirely sure.
- Sidescrolling beat-em-up.
- You could punch people into the ground (battletoads style) and have all sorts of weird finishing moves.
- The main char looked like a wrestler (WWF type guy) with bright yellow shorts I believe. As a kid he reminded me of Hulk Hogan.

Bad Street Brawler (aka Bop' N Rumble as I remember it), loved that game.

Maybe you are referring to the mothership stage in Phoenix?

I suddenly thought of a racing game that I used to play quite a bit, but I really can't remember the name.

In this game you had cars (who would've guessed) for which you could buy guns, which you could also upgrade. The tracks on which you drove had loopings and after races you were in some kind of bar/tavern where you could buy the upgrades etc. I think there was also some 'sexy chick' there, but maybe that depended on the character you chose (and myself, as young and innocent as i was, mostly chose her).

Maybe Badlands?

Don't think anyone is going to know this one...

My first computer was an Apple II GS, and I had a game on a floppy disc where it was like you were setting up a live music/rock band on a stage. You'd select characters, instruments, sounds, a genre, etc. They had predefined loadouts, but you could create a custom band template from scratch. There were a couple different modes, but the one I remember most is that, with your computer keyboard, you could play these instruments and simulate this band playing on stage. In my mind, it was the most realistic and awesome-sounding thing ever (but I know in reality, it probably just made Apple farting sounds). I made this kickass metal band and had a sick groove going with some electric lead guitars and double kick drums, haha
 
Ok....

To the besti can recall, I played a game that was basically a text adventure. I think you answereda bunch of questions to get a personality type, then you made choices by answering more questions as you went through life. It was likea regular life simulator. I thinki had it on the amiga.

Another

It was like the Sims in that you watched some guy watch tv and answer his door and stuff. Also probably amiga or c64.
 
I remember playing a game. It was a Final Fight clone, but your character used swords--single sword, double sword, big sword. I also remember giant samurai running in from the background and jumping onto the play area and you fight them. Anybody remember the game's name.

Second game is very likely Little Computer People: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Computer_People

Edit: Don't know the first one but perhaps skim through these to see if you recognize the first game? http://www.lemonamiga.com/games/list.php?list_genre=Adventure&list_sub_genre=Graphics/Text
 
I used to play it on my ps1 when I was a kid, it's a boats/submarines game. There was racing, trials and battle. You can shoot with your boat/submarine all the time.

I remember two things that might help:
1 - The cover had some boats in it (shocking, I know) and the title was in red.

2 - There was a boat that shot paintings...

I had a japanese copy, don't know if the game was release outside Japan :/

First one sounds like Alter Ego.

Jam Session? This sounds pretty cool actually. :)

Alter Ego?
 
Ah, it was this weird ship combat game based on Treasure Planet. I used to spend hours in front of my old PC cowering behind rock formations (?) as an entire enemy fleet blasted my cover with laser cannons. I never got far, but it was a damn good time
 
This is a long shot, but I'll see if any of you can name this game.
I used to play it on the Amiga 500, back in '89-90-ish.
It was a one-on-one fighting game.
The stage I remember was in Russia with the funny Kremlin looking buildings in the background. There may have been a bit of snow too.
The opponent there was a Russian soldier, wearing one of those furry hats and he held his rifle in both hands whilst fighting you.
The players character was a kickboxer. He was a white guy, with long white pants and possibly had boxing gloves on.

Anyone know this old amiga game?

Human Killing Machine. It was the sequel to the home computer ports of Street Fighter. No relation to the actual SFII, which came much later.
 
I am incredibly impressed at how you managed to find a screenshot that pretty much illustrated every single point the OP presented. Nice work.

To be fair, that's largely because it's the first level :-)

(That's something about this thread that's easy to forget; if a description is very specific about one section, it's often from the very start of the game since that part would be most-replayed.)
 
i remember something,
it may not be a game,

but is was a learning game with science for kids,
and it had a mammoth in it, explaining all things like leverage, weight, gravity, velocity, ....

i have been searching everywhere for that but no use,

i think it was for windows 95-98

Jurassic Park for the Master System has many things that match your description
 
I don't remember much of this game besides one of the first few levels. I believe it was in the PS1 [?]

Basically it starred a kid, I think his design was similar to somebody from Mother. His weapon was a bubblegun. And in the level, which if I recall correctly, looked like a deformed/spooky house he had to fight a decently big crab. I think it was a grandma, and the crab thing I assume was because she pinched cheeks.

I'm literally not sure if I dreamed this game as nobody as I describe it to seems to recall it. But then again it's a poor description

My memory is pretty fuzzy, but i used to be addicted to this monster truck racing game on psx, the game was 2d if i recall correctly and you were able to pick up guns etc on your way to the finish line. I don't think they were actual tracks, but more like big maps where you could go whichever way as long as it was forward. This is where it gets really fuzzy, but i seem to recall having a boss fight against another big monster truck at the end of each stage.
Been breaking my head over this for years =(
 
There was a game on ps1 that almost reminded me of a new version of contra at the time. soldiers with guns that would be upgraded upon either gaining more kills or grabbing things(I can't remember). Cool lighting and particle effects. Never can remember the name of it. the camera hovered over your character like it would if contra had been a 3d game.

Dorling Kindersley's "The Way Things Work".
 
Anyone familiar with a pc game that involved pranking a guy inside a house and hiding from him whenever he entered the room you were in? I think that was the objective, anyway. It's a 2d game, you were looking at a cross section of a house.
 
I have a couple games that names slip my mind

1.This one is an N64 game,and I think the character was boy or girl.They wore a white outfit and had purple or green hair?It was 2.3d and I remember a giant robot for a boss.

2.This was an ps1 game that was on the demo disc.It was a side scrolling shooter were you controlled a small ship with a gun that hanged from its bottom.I remember the stage on the demo was a futuristic looking city at night.

3.This game was a ps1 game...all I remember is that the main guy was a purple ninja.

4.this last one was a game on ps1 and it was over the top view and Hercules was the main character.
