Just want to give my thanks for providing that link. There's an arcade game that I've tried to figure out for years due to having beaten it twenty+ years ago now and could never recall the title despite Googling and asking around for many years and it took one single word in that site's description search to find it. Now I know I've beaten ThunderJaws and it looks like trash, heh. Also odd, of the thirteen people on that site that own it there's one selling it and they live about twenty minutes from me. Too bad I'm in no condition to purchase arcade machines currently.
Anyhow, big thanks!
That was it! Thank you much! Thanks for the sweet site as well

So there was this game where you would race other people, in events like bungee jumping, and hang gliding and mountain biking, and I want to say it was a Dreamcast game anyone have an idea, sorry I can't give anymore information.

Did a quick search and looks like Xtreme Sports might be it? No bungee jumping but seems to have hang gliding, mountain bikes, snowboarding, and ATVs?

This has been on my mind for a while and I can't figure out which game is it. It's an adventure/platformer game for the Sega Master System. It somehow feels like a shinobi type of game, but was easy for me to beat. I believe the first level was at night. Also, there was a level with pipes, probably golden colored.
I played this when I was a little kid and never knew the name.

-> The game is probably about 15 years old, I played a demo on PC
-> It's a racing game with pre-rendered backgrounds. The camera moved automatically, so you basically controlled your vehicle on top of a pre-animated video.
-> The demo track had very narrow lanes, with small walls on either side.
-> I believe you also had weapons, such as rockets.

MegaRace ?
Alex Kidd in Shinobi World?

I've always thought that would be the one, but it isn't.
Nope.
Looks fun, though.
Haha, just checked Youtube, and it is Megarace 2. The demo level was Tibet, and gosh, does this look awesome for a game from 1996. Holy crap!

I remember playing a game on the N64, but only a single image exists in my mind, and it's pretty blurry and vague. I wanna say there was a large white motorcycle-like machine on a 2D plane, and that's where the level/boss fight (if it was one) was taking place. I'm pretty sure it was a Japanese game, but nothing else comes to mind other than your character was dwarfed by the size of the machine.

Ah, sorry for not answering you guys. It was neither Bug!, Bug too! or Bugdom.
I'm not sure which platforms it came out on since I played it on PC (emulator, perhaps, can't remember). I'd bet it came out for Playstation 1 though.

EDIT: Hm, I'll be damned, watched some gameplay and it was definitely Bug! that I played. It has aged way more than in my mind. Thank you so much NameGenerated.
EDIT2: Oh, god damn it, double post.

city connection ?
you said there were cars spinning but did you control a car or something else ?
Or was it Bubble gum Rosie ? (rosy)
awful awful game
Actually, its not. Who would've thought there would be two beat-em-ups with this description? Not it though, because the game I played was US, not JPN. The US version of Crime Fighters 2 doesn't have the homosexual stuff in it.
Here's my description again since I posted this months ago and have no answer yet:
Arcade, 1990's, Final Fight styled beat-em-up. One level was full of enemies who were clearly supposed to represent homosexuals. The boss of the level had a rose in his teeth and when you got to the Continue screen, a closeup of him winking or raising his eyebrows at you would bait you into putting in more money.
Not sure if this is allowed, but when I was a kid there was an arcade I used to visit. It had this pinball game about.. it was skateboarding or surfing or something, and it was full of giant plastic ramps (to the point that the field itself was double-deep to accommodate them all)
Trying to remember the name..
Trying to remember the name..
N64, 2D, Japanese and large boss fight make me instantly think of Mischief Makers...
It's a shame I'm stumped, because the bolded part is priceless.

I wish I can give a way better description than this...
Its a game for the Sega Master System. Must've played it when I was 5 or 6 cuz all I remember is its a sidescrolling actioing game. Futuristic space setting. I believe you have a jet pack so u can fly around if you want. Had to collect a key to open a door to the next stage.
That's all I can remember Been looking for this for the past couple of years...

Been looking for this for the past couple of years...I remembered one extra detail: The level with the boss holding the rose in his mouth? I think it was like docks or a pier. I knew Crime Fighters 2 wasn't it because that boss isn't in that game.
Here is a real hard one for you:
Back in the Commodore 64 age, I played a car game, with a top down view. I think the game consisted of collecting letters. There was other cars on the road who you could jump over, and the map was kinda big. I was 6-7 years at the time, so my memory is a bit sketchy. But I think there was a cartoonish graphics.

Bug's a pretty good game really. It's insanely hard, but interesting and innovative -- it's from 1995 originally, a very early effort at platforming in 3d.

Wow. Thought I'd never figure that one out. Crime Fighters 2/Vendetta was a good guess though.

There was a fighting game for Genesis where you mixed and matched parts to create a mutant type humanoid character. IIRC the arena was just 3/4 of the screen and had stats on the right side during the match. It didn't scroll left or right, it was just one screen length. You could upgrade your dude in between matches. Was an isometric view. I can't remember the name for the life of me. I think I rented it around 1993? HMMMMMM.
Up N Down, maybe?
Edit: Though, looking at the Wikipedia page, that was about collecting flags rather than letters, hmm.

Is it Fotonica? http://youtu.be/U8S8EGyVLEo
Yes! Thank you!
There's this weird little game on Game Gear. You choose from 2 (or 3) levels. Each level is similar to a Zelda 1 dungeon with rooms and tiles you can break. Basically you just go around the level collecting all treasures and once you have everything you go back and talk to the person at the start of the level (and apparently you die if you don't have everything).

This one is a strange one, and I'm asking more out of curiosity than any real hope of finding it. It was a series of flash-based games (or perhaps just one) with a sci-fi setting, which (I think) was a point and click adventure type of deal. I must have played them about 10 years ago, maybe a year or two earlier than that.
I can't really remember anything else, and it's not a lot to go on, I know. I'm just throwing this one out there in case somebody has a brainwave.
Edit: oh, it had a "serious" feel to it, it wasn't cartoon-y.
Edit 2: It was Shockwave, not Flash, that just came back to me, although it's not a huge distinction. It might have been on the Shockwave website at some point.

All right, so when I was really young, there was this game on NES that I barely remember...definitely one of the first games I've ever played. But I barely remember anything about it. You started off in some sort of castle. You could pick, I think, one character out of 8. After this character died, I believe you would receive another character, and you only died when all 8 characters were dead. That is basically all I remember. I'd be hugely impressed if anyone can name this from the little information I have.
Alright GAF, trying my luck here:
I am looking for an old PC game (somewhere between 1996-2002). it was a graphic adventure video game like Myst. Everything was in first-person with a photo-realistic look and you had to solve puzzles. You were looking for a murderer, i think. You visited well-known places around the world, like Istanbul. i know that especially well, cause you had to enter a mosque to solve a puzzle there.
The fun part of this game was that you had to enter your email adress in the game, so this game can send you - even if you weren't playing this game - hints about places, puzzles, and about the murderer. You even had to go with your real standard browser on some fake websites to get informations in order to solve puzzles ingame.

Im trying to remember this one: came out around 92-94, it was an Out of This World/Flashback type of game set in a dystopian/futuristic city. You played some dude and you had this little robot buddy with you that Im guessing could help you solve puzzles.
