@guthwulf:Dark Adventure? Below is a video of a different version of the game with one less character and different weapons, but the art etc. should be similar.
@Hero_of_the_Day_2004: Alright, well check this out and see if you can't come up with something. I've got it filtered for C64, action, side-scrolling, and medieval/fantasy. If it's not there try messing with the filters yourself. Good luck.

Awesome dude!!! Thank you so much! I would have never found that game, if it weren't for you.
How were you able to figure that out with so little and sketchy information?
@FireBurger: Unfortunately, no. Ikki isn't it. The character in the game I was thinking of was much smaller and you only vertically up the screen throwing your spear at other ninjas. Thanks for trying though!
There was a game, I believe on the Nintendo 64, that was a cartoony demolition derby type game. It featured themed characters (a devil, ect) themed levels, and different power ups for the cars (one had a shredder on the front, and I remember shredding sheep with it). There where also triggers on the maps to set off traps for other players. I can't remember the name, because I was very young when I played it and it wasn't my game.

Okay this is a hard one. It was a old computer game as far as I know, and it was a simple RTS puzzle game. The main character was a yellow round figure with a nose and very comic acty. There were other characters and as far as I remember they where in other colors, they may also be yellow tough. You build simple houses and also used different vehicles and they also ate stuff they planted as far as I remember. When you ate some things you turned radioactive and such to survive in radioactive terrains, also the main objective was to build a space ship or something There was simple voice acting, and the game and it was in some sort of 3d I think, or the false 2d alike 3d effect. There was also a spin off of this game that was a side scroller, in this game you could build your own maps and such. As far as I remember, the name of the game was something with: Blip, Blup, Blupers, Blop, Blump, etc. I may be completly wrong with the name tough, find nothing about it on google so.
When I was a kid I got this NES, might have been SNES but I'm pretty sure it was NES, game that was like one of those old school dungeon crawler RPG's where every time you turn in a direction it has to stop and load a new picture, then you choose to turn a direction or walk forward etc. I remember it being way too complex for my child mind and not understanding anything about it. IIRC it had some kind of mechanic to it where every action you took depleted some kind of stat, and I had no clue how to refill it or even what I was supposed to do and the game always ended with me dieing in the same place over and over again and I could never grasp why.
Also, I remember the game starting out with you running around a big open plain. I always died before I could find anything, so I'm sure there is more to it then that but I never saw it. I think once I found a castle, but then I died.
It has always haunted me because it has been the only game I could never figure out, and I have always wanted to find it again and play it as an adult to see if I can figure it out now.
right, heres what I can renember from the game im trying to figure out:
- It is a FPS - Its plot is something about being set in a world where the Nazis had won world war 2 -It was on a episode of 'Playr' where at the time the game was still in development -I can renember the snippit of the level they played: they were in a construction site, walking across a half built building (all it was was metal girdles, y'know, the bar things?) there was things blowinbg up around them, and I think a nazi blimp appeared and crashed into a building, or atleast made something blow up when it appeared. -they made it into an alleyway at some point, they met up with a few guys, I think they said something about a resistance, and handed the player a rifle. -Im not sure what year this was now, it mightve been early nextgen console era (360, PS3 etc), or it might have been a nicely graphiced second gen (pS2 etc) game, I know its definitely on the mainstream consoles, I just dont know which generation - I have reason to believe it may be named somewhere along the lines of 'Last stand' or 'last' something, but im not sure.
I hope you can find my game, even if its discontinued or something, I'll be happy to know what it is :)

I've never played the game myself, but I'll take a shot in the dark. Was it Arcana? It was an SNES RPG in first-person.
@Hailinel: No that wasn't it ether. It drives me nuts because I don't remember enough about the game to give much of a description beyond it being a 1st person RPG/Adventure game on the NES. IIRC it was more like a text adventure game with very crude graphics to show you were in locations, and I remember never being able to find a single thing in that game to interact with beyond a tower in the middle of nowhere that I always died at when I got to it.
@crusader8463: Shadowgate, perhaps? It was a first-person adventure game in which you actually died when the two torches at the top of the inventory menu went out. The only way to replenish your health was to collect torches from the walls and keep the menu torches lit.
@Hailinel: Could be it. Shucks just forget it. I have probably seen it listed already but I can't for the life of me seem to picture enough of what it looked like to place it properly. All I can remember is big open fields, never seeing people or things on my screen, and just running around and dieing for random reasons that I could never understand why.
And here is that level you remember. Check out the gravity at 4:20 haha. From everything I read at the time, the game didn't turn out too great.

I played a LittleBigPlanet level based on this game. So when he said girders, something clicked and I thought of this game. I didn't actually play this FPS.
@X19: Ok. Not sure if anyone will be able to help though. My memory of it is just a touch too fuzzy for me to remember it clearly I think. We will see.
I remember a PC game from yeeears back. A point and click adventure (in the same way as Myst or something like that). You were in a land where dinosaur-like beings talked to you. That's about all I can remember. :-(
There's a game I've looked for that possibly was a shareware game? It was a top down space shooter but it wasn't scrolling and the controls let you rotate the ship as opposed to strafe. It was a PC game but I can't remember the name for the life of me. THanks for any help!
@FireBurger: Haha, no. It was originally a PC game and I think was part of the big shareware apogee push. I feel like it came out around the time that Raptor came out.
I can't remember the name of this PC game that had you play as a Roly Poly, and you took on other insects like bees and ants. There was only around 6-9 levels, one where you ride the back of a dragonfly and it's like a flight sim. This was a game our school owned, so it may not have been well known.
Can't remember the name of a PSone game. It was a game where you played as either Hercules, or this kid (with I think a slingshot?? Or maybe it was a club?), or a woman who used a bow and arrow. The game had a very strong cartoony look. Each time you would die, you would have to climb your way out of hell, each time from greater depths... Also, you had to spend coins in order to save the game. Can't seem to find the name of the game anywhere, no matter how hard I look. Anyone know what I'm talking about?
hey people. i can't seem to remember the name of an arcade game. 2-D sidescroll shooter which used angels or demons. well they were flying and they had weapons u could shoot and i think u also had a melee attack as well. 3 selectable players. anyone?
If someone could help me find this game i played back in i believe first grade i would give a massive E-Hug
it's been like 20 years so im quite fuzzy on the details i am pretty sure it was a learning game but it was like a action/adventure game as well and it wasn't number munchers i am pretty sure you played as a kid or something, i know its vague and i have searched numerous times for it and for the life of me i don't know.
@Lights_Up_The_Shaft: Nah. Thanks for that, but that isn't it. I did find it though! It is called Herc's Adventures. I want a copy of it, but it is so expensive everywhere I look. Expected, I guess.

Do you have any other information? Math learning, I take it? Any enemy types? 2D, 3D, top-down, third-person? DOS, I assume? Anything else. The smallest details can really help narrow it down.
