OK, it's a downloadable puzzle game for PC. Falling blocks of different sizes/shapes. The purpose is to match n blocks of n squares, with a minimum set at each level. So, you started by trying to match 3 shapes of 3 squares, then 4 shapes of 4 squares, so on. Each shape had a different color depending on how many squares it takes up. Hope I am being clear...

Ok it's an arcade only game, either by Namco or Konami, or neither. Ok that doesn't help.
Player 1 controls both a steering wheel and a gun mounted on the cabinet. Player 2 just gets a gun. You control a car and it's part driving game part light gun shooter at the same time. It's 2d and early 90's. I think you even shoot out the wind shield in the beginning. It was fucking rad as hell.
Think Lethal Enforcers meets Rad Mobile and you sorta get the idea.

Yes! This is why I love NeoGAF.
I kept trying to explain to my friend this amazing game and how I've been dreaming of a console version since the Saturn days, using both the Saturn wheel and Stunner. Anyways thanks.
When I was a kid, I played a game on the Amiga (I think it was the Amiga, something around SNES to Genesis graphics) and the game featured a dinosaur (yellow I believe) and the level I remember was in a construction yard. It was a platformer and there were barrels of fire you had to jump over. There might have been other hazards such as bubbles, but I don't remember that well.
I've been looking for this game for sooo long, but I can't remember what it was called. If anyone of you can help me find out what it was, I would really appreciate it.

Ok this has been bugging me for YEARS! So here goes:
I played this game in arcades in the early 90's, it featured a big grid, and you played one color and your opponent another color. The object was to place your color next to your opponent's controlled squares, and when you did your circle of color would "glob" over like slime and turn their color to yours and vice versa. This affected any squares next to or diagonal touching wherever you moved. Winner controlled the majority of the board at the end I think.
I remember one opponent (They were an animated portrait on the right side of the screen) was a nasty melting blob looking dude that made gurgly noises when it was his turn.
What the hell was this game called, end my suffering!!

I remember a PS1 era snowboarding game that involved you moving up the ranks in story mode and one of the big last levels was "televised" best trick competition and big half pipe competition. I may be imaging things but I swear the game even had a "storyline". I can't for the life of me remember the name or any other details. I know I beat the game though and in my mind I recall it as a decent snowboarding game.

I wonder I someone could figure this one out. My memory of the game is really vague, I just remember it because it was the first game I ever played. Bear in mind that this was country side of Finland in early 90's. We where quite a bit behind the technology curve back then. So here goes:
The first videogame I ever played.
year when I played it: 1991-92 (releasedate could be anything from 80- to 92)
platform: PC, (this also could have been some other pc like platform, the computer was used to mark up the daily milk outcome and such into this really fancy excel program, FUTURE IS HERE!)
Anyway, the computer had this one game me and my buddy used to play, it was forbidden for us to play it alone because it was so violent. I think the game was about some random gang-fights. You played gang member who could pick up weapons from the ground, knives and such and beat up the enemies. I think there was end bosses in the end of the levels.
Game was single color, side scrolling, beat em up'ish, you played it with keyboard. I probably could regonice it from screenshots..
So anyone? (Sorry about being so vague about this, thats pretty much all I can remember)

I have, but then I go onto gamespot or something and choose a catagory + platform, and look through all the titles and screenshots until one rings a bell.

* searches "Manhattan dealers"
= Amiga screens.. maaaybe, this looks a tad too advanced thought.. Hey! I remember those Drug kg thingies!! This could be it.
* search "Manhattan dealers pc"
= single screenshot.. Damn Nostalgia wave!! It is this.. Funny that from all the games, my first game ended up being game called Manhattan Dealers
Thank you so much! I would never thought anyone could know/guess it from that description..
Now I just need dosBOX and I'm set
SO not only do I not remember the name of this game, Idk what platform it was either.
It was the first game I ever played, it was a Muppets game. It wasn't much of a game, kind of more like a really long DVD menu, but it was about the Muppets needing to make money to pay someone so that they didn't lose their theater, so they put on a show to raise money (no, it wasn't the movie, just a very similar plot). I know there were some really simple puzzles in there, but the only part I remember clearly was that whenever you saw a bag of money on the screen, you had to press the white button.
Oh yeah, so this console. I remember next to nothing about it (I was like 4, this was somewhere in like 1996-8) except the controller had a couple of multi-colored buttons. They didn't have letter names, they were referred to just by their color.
This could have easily been some standalone plug-and-play game, but I seem to remember being able to get more games for it and just never getting any.
If anybody knows anything about this, thanks, but if not, whatever.

I might as well do one by myself:
Genesis/Mega Drive game, you are this red motorcycle thing (or something like that!) and you could collect all kinds of power ups that changed your weapons and such (ala Contra). Side scroller, jungle enviroments and such.

You know what sent my mind down that path? Something completely irrelevant and a pure coincidence:asa said:
I had a friend who I got into gaming in a big way in the early nineties, and one day he excitedly showed me this cheapie disc he'd picked up from a shop; a low-budget budget rerelease. It was Manhattan Dealers.

Interactive Vision was the system, it was made by none other than Viewmaster and used VHS tapes as it's medium. The system had like six games for it, three sessemee street games, two muppet game and one disney game. Most of the games were actually nothing of the sort most of them just had you making different choices like you mentioned. The Disney game I mentionexd earlier was probably the closest you'd get to the likes of something like NES quality and even that was questionable. Still I loved the machine with all my heart when I was five...
Hope I wasn't the only one in the world who played this: It was a Mac/PC point and click game based off a children's book about this guy who lived with some witches, I believe. The guy's name was Stanley, I think, and he was trying to learn magic. In the game you basically dick around town doing random sidequests.
Any help would be appreciated, the name for this has been killing me for a while and Google isn't helping.

You know, i need some help finding a game! That´s funny, when i first saw this thread i just didnt remember about it, but seeing all these screenshots...
Well, here it goes
- Genesis game
- Shoot em up. Horizontal
- Anime cutscenes BUT IT ISNT ZERO WING
- 2 player co-op
- This games thing is, one of the game´s power ups is a set of two small shields on top and below your ship.
Some stages feature very fast sections with close walls, meaning these 2 shields can protect you in these sections, "grinding" on the walls and shooting sparks... or you can try your luck without em beting only on your reflexes
I played this only once in the 90´s. Dont remember if it was US or Japanese release.

Hmmm, I used to play this game in the arcades a lot back in the day. You played as a young whipper snapper type character, possibly with a baseball cap, kind of Ness look.
Progressing through side scrolling scenarios with a massive club/wooden hammer weapon, I think each level started with cries of Lets Get Busy!
You could use the club/hammer for direct attacks as well as deflect objects etc. Something about cracked eggs too...

I'm really happy that I found this thread because this has been killing me for the last 8 or so years. Hopefully this works, I'll do my best
-NES game
-You were some sort of spaceship type machine, and you seemed to be in some sort of bigger spaceship
-Controls were simple, you could move your ship around in any direction and also shoot
-Shooting was typically used for breaking barriers more than anything else
-There were a few different powerups but not much
-The game was hard as fack, no continues, limited amount of lives
-You would go from screen to screen, but not necessarily from right to left, sometimes up or down.
-Many of the difficult parts were based on going up when something was going down and vice versa. The timing always had to be perfect to make it through these parts
-There were levels (worlds?) but I only ever made it to the 2nd one. Don't know how many there actually are
-It's not a scrolling shooter
-It was hard as FUCK, yes, this needed to be repeated
-It was addicting as hell
Sorry, I tried my best!
