If anyone gets this one I'll be mighty grateful.
Played around 1998/99 on a pc in the UK.
It was a game where you dug up items which you then went back in time to solve some kind of mystery based on the item you found. I can remember 2 eras mainly Roman and Victorian England. I want to say it used an isometric view but that might be off. One of my friends also remembers the game as well but we've had no luck pinning it down.

Well, maybe you guys can help me out with this one.
It's a PC game, Made somewhere between 1995 - 2000
It had a sequel that seemed very different from the Original in that you could actually play as both humans and aliens in death Matches.
The original game was about an alien invasion on Earth. You start somewhere in Africa, in a US Military base, controlling a turret. After successfully repelling an attack, you get to drive a helicopter, then a jet, and a futuristic tank all of which you could repair at certain bases. The other locations were some place that was covered in snow, some city, then finally an assault on the aliens from the moon. You use nothing but vehicles or turrets and every location had a certain number of missions. That's about all I remember at the moment

I used to love the PC Gamer demo disks. If someone can find a log of the demos featured on those back from 93-2002 I'd be really grateful. There were a couple of games I always wanted to play again. For reference:
I know one of the games was Alien Carnage by Apogee?
Hocus Pocus
Some first person Star Wars game.
another side scrolling platform game that had some dude named JACK? or Jack? Or something like that.
There was an aliens or alien like ripoff. I wish I could find a list just so I could play a few of the games I can't remember.

Old pc platformer in which you were a sleepwalking dog jumping around in the city.

Trying to remember the name of a game I played on a pc demo disk from the 90's. It was some kind of top down action game, and it had pretty rocking music. One thing I remember the most was that it had an anime styled intro but I am not sure if it was a Japanese game. Don't think the game was that great from the demo, but I just want to know what it was to maybe find it and listen to the cool music again.

I knew where to get Hocus Pocus and Alien Carnage...But thanks for identifying the Star Wars game as well as providing links!
I really wish I had an archive/list of those games just so I could see the other ones I forgot.

Thank you that's it! Checking out the intro on youtube now. Looks way shittier than I remember lol.
Arcventure?
Incoming?
Sleepwalker? (Although the dog was helping the sleepwalker, he wasn't sleepwalking himself)

Yes, that's it. Thanks for helping me with that game. It's been bugging my for a couple of years now, since I had forgotten the name and wanted to find it to play it again.

Is this a joke? Skyrim is the best example of an intricate, complicated game you could come up with?
Yes! Thank you.

Thanks for the heads up. I was looking for the original and was shocked that it's $65.

Thanks, yeah somehow I knew I had gotten it wrong somewhere.
How about this one then: It's an old pc adventurer, very myst like, where your walking around in old Venice (or was it Atlantis?), solving puzzles and stuff. IIRC a demo of the game was included with Riven.
Nope. That looks nothing like I described :S
Is it Sylvan Tale?

This one could be challenging.
I remember a good while ago (2002-2005) I was playing a free online game with a friend.
I was a top-down fast paced "shooter" with (I think) manga like graphics. I remember one of the classes/characters having a shot that could bounce on walls, and I also remember there was one level that was covered with ice, so your character would be sliding around the map.

No. The one I remember is more of a puzzle like adventure game than an action one.

I think I answered this already earlier this page, Dragon Crystal.
Top down space game, sort of controlled like asteroids. You went and explored different parts of the galaxy, there was missions where you could destroy things, also racing missions, also if you hurt innocent ships or cop ships they would take you to ship court.
Also I think it took place inside your computer? Like you could fight "viruses" in your computer and certain areas were actual directory names and some units where .exes?
It's an extremely vague memory. SPAZ reminded me of it.

Sorry I missed your answer. Dragon Crystal is not it though.
Edit: just found out something while browsing videos of Sega games on Youtube: The death animation in this game appears just like in Alex Kidd and Teddy Boy both which were developed by Sega.

Dragon Crystal is the only US-released action-RPG on the Game Gear, though, and Sylvan Tale pretty much the only Japan-only one (unless you count Fray, but that's basically a shmup with RPG elements). So if it's not either of those, it's got to be something in a different genre. What is that game, a puzzle game or something? If it's not a puzzle game, the only thing I can even vaguely think of is Arena: Maze of Death. Maybe it's that, but I'm not betting on it.
It's not a RPG game. Each of the two levels is like a dungeon you'd see in Zelda 1 and you just go around rooms finding stuffs.

Could it have been Factory Panic? Just thinking because it has the top down perspective like Zelda and you get items.

An Old Western Point and Click ala Myst possibly for the Mac. I remember playing it at a friends house when I was younger and remarking on how a sign in the game said "Macintosh Bitch" or something to that effect. Any ideas?
Slightly outside guess, but I think that might be one of the later Journeyman Project titles. Maybe #2?

This is also not it. Do you know any other top-down-perspective-indoor GG games?

It's an NES game, and its a side scrolling action/platformer.
It had a similar mechanic to Blaster Master where you could get in and out of your vehicle. In this case, if I remember correctly, the vehicle was like those two legged AT-STs from Star Wars.

Wow, this game is terrible and 100 times worse than I remember. Or I could be thinking of another game entirely, because I remember them mech walker being smaller, but everything else looks really familiar, so this is probably it.

It was Beast Wrestler! Haha thanks, I've been trying to remember this one for years!
I was just thinking about all the old edutainment games I use to play in my grade schools computer class (Math Blaster, Word Munchers, etc.), and there's this one game I can just barely remember in that same style, I really hope one of you guys will remember it too.
The one thing I remember about the game was a Mario Bros. style level where you played as a little drop of water, and you jumped around and climbed ladders to collect things, mainly numbers I think. There were powerups you could pick up too, like a snowflake that would freeze all the enemies on the screen. I think there was another screen where you could just move back and forth and you had to collect or avoid things being thrown from above. The water drop guy had a few little voice clips that would play sometimes, too.
I'm sure there was more to the game, but this is the only aspect I remember. Can anyone tell me more about this game? Not being able to fill in these blanks in my memory is driving me crazy.

Damn, I'm pretty sure that's the one! thanks!

Maybe someone here can help me remember this game. PC game, probably pre 1995, first person rpg/dungeon crawler. I don't remember too many details but I do remember the town you start off in was quite maze-like with lots of brown walls. And there was a scripted encounter in the first proper dungeon with some slimes I think. I know it's not much to go on but I haven't been able to pin down which game it was. Almost sure there was a magic missile spell which makes me lean towards a d&d license but really I can't remember.

Maybe one of the Eye of the Beholder games?
Played in the arcades in early '90 ( bar actually ).
Single screen action game ( ala bobble bubble ) where you shot laser instead of bubbles, if you run out of time something follow you to kill you ( again ala BB ) I think it was a sun.
It had co-op and after you complete each stage you receive a part (of a picture ) of a young lady ( naked ). After you complete the (naked) lady picture you'll get parts to dress her ( or maybe it was the opposite ? ).

Pretty sure it's not any of them having looked at a couple of lets plays there. The one I'm thinking of I'm almost positive is completely turn based, and I'm pretty sure the starting location is in a town facing a shop/inn or something similar. I can't remember but I feel like there might be random encounters in the town as well? Although that could be made up.
