Nope. It wasn't rpg and the view was straight top down when you only saw head and shoulders.

While you don't *strictly* play as a lab rat in it, I suspect you're talking about The Lost Mind Of Dr. Brain.
1) The Faery Tale Adventure or Sorcerer's Kingdom?
i swear to god i played an ikari warriors style game in an arcade, mid 80s, where the boss of the first level kept flipping you the bird.... anyone have any clue what game this was? i think he was surrounded by bodyguard soldiers. this was a big deal to an 8 year old.

Trying to remember the name of a tennis game I used to own for the PSOne; I was heavily addicted to it for a long time and was just fondly thinking back on it now and how I wish I didn't sell it. It was a sequel, and consisted of a huge roster of characters that were very anime-ish in appearance.
Was it the one just called Tennis by Agetec?

Nah, that wasn't it.
All-Star Tennis? (was a series, anime-ish characters)
Played this too, in 1st/2nd grade... now on a mission.

There was this Amiga shooter/sidescroller in which you are a helicopter and you can pick up little scientists destroyed bases and take them back to your badass vulcano base and drop them off so they can R&D new weapons for your chopper. Also if you landed the chopper a little robot would come out and you can control him and mess fools up.
I have been trying to find out what game it was and I cant figure it out!
anyone have a clue?

Noooooooo you're taking me back to the days they used to hand out those catalogs in class and I had no idea my teachers/school were being subsidized for that bullshit... noooo.
Smash Court 2/3 ?
Here's one.
Back in first grade (I'm 30 now, so that you tell you how long ago this was), we had one of the first Macintosh computers.
Anyways, we had this one game where there were 3 apples up in a tree and you had 3 monkeys that were small, medium and large.
The object of the game was to move the monkeys around so the large one was on the bottom, then the medium on and lastly the small one, who would grab the apple.
I'm not sure if it was part of an educational pack or not, but its one of those things that's always stuck in my head.

I'm trying to remember the name of this game:
It was a first person view, probably point and click. Graphics were fairly plain and cartoony. Was definitely a PC game.
It took place in some kind of dinosaur park. There was an electric fence which I think had to be turned off, and a jeep, maybe. There was also an area with.... a kitchen...and a pan.
I don't think it was a Jurassic Park game....but maybe I'm wrong.
That's all I've got.

Maybe 3-D Dinosaur Adventure (there are several versions, but maybe the older one?)? Not sure though, could be something else.

That was it! Or to be more specific, it's called Anna Kournikova's Smash Court Tennis. It wasn't a sequel at all, which is weird because I could've sworn it was, but I guess my memory has become warped. Thanks a bunch.
Well, it's not terribly helpful to say this, but that sounds like a Towers of Hanoi puzzle. They're all over the place, so it doesn't narrow it down much. That said, the visuals might spark someone off, and it at least gives you another term to search for.

I sharpened my google-foo and found my own game. It's called Dyter-07 , the helicopter base while bad ass is not in a vulcano. There is a vulcano level thou so memory wasn't too inaccurate!
That's it! My wife's gonna flip when I tell her. Thanks!

Last year a new indie game was shown. IIRC it was from a former gaming journalist (pc gamer?). There was a thread on gaf as well.
It was 2D pixelart
You were an agent in a trenchcoat
There were stunning phyics effects with breaking windows and such
To keep on going you had to solve puzzles with wires and electricy
You could use stealth to get across enemies
I can't remember the name and just wanted to know if it is out already.

Trilby: The Art of Theft?

It does look similar to this but no. Never heard of Tribly though. Does look as interesting. Thx
The game was still in development some time last year. And it was higher res as well.
Ah, I didn't realize this thread was here. Awesome, 'cause I have one.
I think it was an indie title, or at least a low-key title, most likely PC-exclusive. It was shown about a year ago, I think.. probably at a show like PAX rather than E3. It was somewhat likened to Portal, except the gun or whatever it was (or maybe just the character's power?) opened up holes in time instead of space.
Recently, I thought it might have been Quantum Conundrum, but I don't think that's it, based on what I've seen of QC lately. Although QC does look fun, and I'll probably get it.. I like offbeat games like that.
In this other one, as a made-up example of the kind of gameplay (I don't remember specifics, I'm afraid), you need to go up some stairs, but they're long rotted away.. so you rewind time in that one area back to when the stairs were intact, and you walk up them. You come across a door that's closed, so you fast-forward time until the door rots away, then walk through it. Had a lot of that entropy effect and how things change over time, coming and going, growing and dying.
I can't remember the name, or release date or anything.. it may have come and gone already. Any ideas?

It was an arcade game in the early 90's that had you as an upright standing animal, fighting other upright standing animals with weapons. The levels were vertically oriented arenas and after you had defeated enough of the enemies, the boss came out. I managed to find it on MAME once, but I haven't seen it since then.
It was a game I played on my PS1 demo disc on the 'import' section. It was a game where there were monsters on a spinning disc and the point was the hit the back of their spinning disc to build up your power and then you needed to hit them with your power to decrease their life. I think it was labeled; "Monsters in a box" or something?
Ok guys, i need your help.
I have this vague remembrance of a PC game that came out in the mid 90s, around the release of Phantasmagoria if i remember correctly.
It was probably a graphic adventure (yet i'm not totally sure about the genre), and i remember it had awesome graphics (FMV i guess).
The demo i played had this very disturbing setting, with flesh-like corridors, and the thing that's really stuck in my head is this big monster, a menacing, grey centipede-like creature that kinda freaked me out as a kid.
Pardon me for the little detail, but that's really all i can remember. :/
Thanks for the help!

It's not Gemini Rue is it?
Nope.
The game i remember had a dark sci-fi theme, and was probably set on an alien planet or something like that.
I'm even starting to doubt about the genre, fuck maybe it was a first person thing. :S

Metamorphic Force perhaps?

nah, the scuba diver was a lot smaller and it don't recall it being so kiddy. It was a side scroller that only allowed you to move towards the right side of the screen (like Mario).
I might've obtained it from the Big Blue Disk.

Perhaps Voltage Fighter Cowgaizer?
EDIT: I misspelled "Gowcaizer" as very correctly indicated by RoryDropKick.
Any more details?

Not either of the Darkseed games?
All I've got is Psygnosis' Microcosm or Argonaut's Creature Shock. I think Creature Shock was the one that sprung to mind first, because I kind of remember a demo like you're describing (maybe around this bit).Ok guys, i need your help.

OK, this is hard: A very old coin-up machine, where you were diving in shipwrecks and shot all kinds of monsters - I remember the first level was a Kraken? Was this game ever ported to another platform?
I think that'd be The Ocean Hunter, depending on what exactly you mean by "very old" (1998).
I can't find mention of a release on another platform.

It was a very Civ like game, but this was around the time Civ I was out.
However, it was not Civ I.
There were either one large land mass or multiple islands. No scrolling so it was all on one screen. It was also multiplayer. You explored around, tried to take over other islands.
Civ I "Lite" kinda. There wasn't much to actually manage, more or less exploration/build a city/kill.
