Also, concerning your submarine game, what kind of game was it? Was it like a shoot'em up, or more of a tame side-scroller?
So many submarine games made their submarine yellow ><
I have updated the archive with your second game.

I honestly cannot remember. All I remember is that the sub was all yellow. You had to get air, as in Dr. Riptide. The piranhas was really dangerous, and I think that when you got killed by them you saw your pilot as a skeleton. It was more of a time sidescroller. Might have been some weird knock-off made from Dr. Riptide, 'cause it looks very much like it, but it's not quite right. That "BAM NOSTALGIA" didn't hit me when I saw the video so to speak :p
2D platformer where you played as some sort of musketeer cat. Very frenchman like, wearing boots. Can't remember the colour of the cat, possibly orange or black.
The game was much in the vain of Jazz Jackrabbit 2
Must have been around when Blood 2 was out. I think maybe.
Is the RPG called Legion?" The RPG game was an old amiga game.. I was even younger when I played that, especially because it seemed to be made by some in Finland, the language was strange at least ;).. The name I recall had something about Legion in it? You had an overview map, where you could travel from place to place, and you'd get random encounters, or you could sack towns etc, buy from shops in 'em.. I remember there were these troll like creatures, Kobolds or something like that they were called.. Which were extremely hard hitting, but also died quite easily.. When you attacked a city/village/fortress, you would have to throw rocks/stuff at walls in order to get in and kill the defenders to win.. Hope somebody has any clue what I'm talking about :D "
Hi all, I hope you can help me with this one. It's been killing me for months.
It was a PS1 game, which was in 1st person, but it wasn't a shooter. It was set on a spaceship and was an adventure game. I remember the most important part of the game was you could change your facial expression before you talk to people. Your facial expression affected how people would respond to you and the wrong expression could make or break a conversation.

Don't know if this was answered yet or not but, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_Will_Tell" There was this PS2 (or PS1) game, it starred this samurai whose body parts were stolen from him (around 40) by demons when he was a baby, and his parts were replaced with cyborg components. The cyborg parts have weapons built into them. The game starts in black and white, but it turns to color when he gets his eye back (the first body part). There was also this little kid who was his companion; I knew you could play as the kid, but I don't remember if it was a boy or a girl. Anyone know what game I'm talking about? Please help. "
Pending Questions *Updated*
Has n00d13z confirmed himself that Carnivores was his game? I see it updated on the table, but didn't see the post anywhere in the thread saying it was it.
@CookieMonster
The Battle of Olympus - Suggested by Ignor."Hmmm. He looked like Link from legend of zelda? And the graphics were pretty cartoony. And if it helps, I think the title was made up of more than one word."
"Its a game I've been trying to remember the name of for aaages. It was for the Sega Mega Drive, and I think it was a side-scrolling platformer, based on that mythical/medieval style of shit (possibly). The closest game I can relate to it is that second Legend of Zelda game that was a side scroller. Sorry if my description is crap, but it was a very long time ago. If anybody even has the faintest idea what I am on about, its a miracle. "
Confirm or Deny.
~! Update, The Battle of Olympus is not it.

Blood Will Tell - First suggested by Csaint.

@Korolev
There was this one game for the PC - it wasn't very well known, I don't think. It was a puzzle game in which you controlled a character with green suspenders and a green bowler hat, walking around rooms that contained death traps that were usually laser beams. You had to step on switches or move mirrors to redirect the beams, and if you walked into a beam, you'd be treated to a close up of you Character's body with a hole in it (no blood or anything, just a clean hole through the stomach), and then the character would fall over dead. This game was made in the very early 90's, I think. The main character was also a kid, and I think he was black, but I'm not sure about that.Anyway, it was a reasonable puzzle game but seeing my character being lasered to death repeatedly freaked me out when I was four years old.
Rescue Rover - As suggested by BeachThunder

Hi ladies and gents. Another lost game.
Here we go!
PC game. Around the time of Age of Empires and AoE: Rise of Rome and Microsoft Return of Arcade. I played a demo edition. Probably released by Microsoft or Microsoft game studios. The basis of the game was a sort of flight simulator. Flying something that may or may not have resembled a stealth fighter, I remember being in Egypt, shooting aliens ( I think) and trying to fly either through a trap door through the pyramids or the sphinx. I never made it very far. It was in 3D and had 3rd person perspective (I think)
CookieMonster's game sounds like Alex Kidd in Miracle World to me.

" @X19: New game: 90's era arcade speedboat action/racing game. You drive your speedboat down a set course and shoot/avoid enemies in the way. Objective is to complete the level with a cargo package that the enemies are trying to steal. Complete the level and get cash to spend on boat upgrades and weapons. Levels have ramps which can be used to jump into fuel-carrying balloons, and pulling back on the arcade yoke let's you glide the boat. It's not Bimini Run and it's not Hydro Thunder. "
Is it Hydra?
Like Hellbender, Fury 3 and Incoming
Reading the comment on this youtube clip Win95 came with a demo of hellbender later in it's life. Was it flying like this or more sim like?
EDIT: Nope I'm totally wrong I'm pretty certain upon looking it could be Fury3 I remember saying that out loud describing it! Also, according to the Wiki:
Sebek (Ancient Egypt themed, pyramids and such)
" @GlenTennis: Mischief Makers? "Damn, that was fast.
Thank you so much.
I played this game for hours upon hours when I was sick one day from school.
If there is any doubt left that it might not be Fury3, check out Terminal Velocity, extremely similar game, but not from Microsoft.EDIT: Nope I'm totally wrong I'm pretty certain upon looking it could be Fury3 I remember saying that out loud describing it! Also, according to the Wiki: "
I can't remember the name of this game!
It was released some time ago. Probably before modern games like Doom, etc. I distinctly remember playing this game on a PC along with Spiderman Cartoon Maker. I was a kid so I have zero recollection of story.
I remember it was in some type of futuristic city complex where you are a cyborg? I think the game was a point-click type game. I remember having trouble with the game because it involved some puzzle solving. Like that key goes her, this keycard open this vault door, etc.
ANY information would be great! I'm sure this game was great and would really like to beat it as an adult.
Hey, I hope you guys can help me out. This is a game i use to play a lot when i was a kid and its been annoying me for years.
It was on a PC i owned in 95 i think. Though it didnt have windows. It just ran on MSdos like C:/ then type in name of the game.
The only game i can remember being on as well as this one is Wolfenstein (the original).
This game i am thinking of was a 2d platform style thing. pixely. You were some guy and you had to kill the green sludge aliens. I remember there being like mangled corpses of spacemen and stuff lying around a sort of ruined urban landscape. You climb in broken windows and could go into the sewers as well... Think it was keycard finding based but cant be sure.
Please help.
Thanks
The game that @red_rum is looking for is Blood Will Tell
@pappucino might be talking about Beneath a Steel Sky, just a guess.
Maybe Bio Menace?
Wow thanks! I have been wondering what this game is called for years!! I bet its rubbish compared to what i remember but... awesome!
*SOLVED*
" The game that @red_rum is looking for is Blood Will TellBlood will tell has already been given as an answer. Look next to red_rum's name and click pending.

Papuccino1 is that the game or not?
Alright I can't give much info on this game but I played it when I was a kid so probably 9 or 10 years ago.....when I was a kid I only played Sega Genesis (also the CD and 32X add-ons) and Super Nintendo so this game was most likely on one of those systems....One distinct thing I remember about the game was a minigame in which you had to try to eat the pizza while the mother was looking away, if she saw you eat a piece she would smack you and the minigame would end....also one of the bosses was a giant boot....the game was really strange overall....I know its not a lot of details but I hope someone can help me with this because I've done a lot of searching but haven't been able to come across it.
I've got a game that I've been trying to remember the name of for years. I'll try this thread out and see if you guys can help me.
It's a SNES platformer. You are this guy in a green suit and you shrink to a very small size. About the size of a green army man. The first level is your laboratory I believe. At some point in the game you drive a toy car. The graphics were kinda clayish I think or maybe they were sprites, can't remember.
That's about all the info I can give. If anyone remembers the name of it that would be awesome and I will give you $775 million.

Heres two games i cant not recall the names for at all.
A PS game where you are a mech the transforms from a police hover car to a walking mech when ever. Had a fun multi player part as well....from what i remember at lest...could really be crap. This one should be easy but its late and it struck me as i was thinking of the next game.
And a DOS/PC point and click game that had a cardboard wheel you had to use to decode to every time you wanted to play, it had a story setting in a Shadowrun type city, and there is this mini game type thing in in where you have to throw daggers inbetween somones fingers sitting on a table. If you missed it showed the knife slicing into the skin of the finger. That is all i can remember from it other then it seemed very graphic when i played it in early 90s.
"A PS game where you are a mech the transforms from a police hover car to a walking mech when ever. "Future Cop LAPD, perhaps...?
Really hope I can get this answered cause I've been looking to play it again for YEARS.
It was a SNES game. It was a side scrolling shooter that involved (from what I vaguely remember) a mother squirrel trying to rescue her baby squirrel. Sounds like a childish game but there were guns and you shoot things like a typical side scroller. The graphics were colorful (best I can describe them).
