Looking for these games:
1. An ancient PC adventure game. Definitely DOS era. You typed in commands but there was a graphical representation of the world. You played a kid who was looking for his cat. To end the game you could jump off a cliff and wake up to find it was all a dream.
2. A Windows 95 era racing game that had a remote control car racing feel, with winding and looping and splitting narrow tracks. It had a futuristic aesthetic and a game show storyline where you got to pick things from behind three doors when you won. The game show aspect had the full motion video popular at the time in it.
3. A hybrid RTS/first person vehicle sim. You primarily controlled a mothership that collected resources from control points and had turrets. Your mothership generated X number of minion cars/helicopters/jets etc on your orders to go fight the enemy. At any time you could jump to any minion and control it directly to take down the enemy mothership. Some enemies looked like WW I vehicles while others looked like aliens or futuristic. *SOLVED* THIS GAME IS URBAN ASSAULT
4. A first person shooter where the story was that all war in the future is waged by remote piloted drones. The game was 3D kind of like Descent but it had a great multiplayer mode. I feel like the name was one word and it started with a G but I might be wrong.
5. A Diablo clone but with a slightly more cartoony or silly aesthetic. You started out as a farm boy or something. The game was pretty silly. I just remember that killing an armored guard got me almost instantly killed and that they used different color-skinned beasts to indicate stronger ones. I feel like it had a one word title. It was for PC- windows 95 era.I don't think it was an a-list title. It was fun though. I think they touted that it was easily user-moddable. Design your own playable modules kind of thing.
6. This old web-based shockwave flash game from the 90s that I remember that I thought was called Space Pirate or Space Pirates that I remember. I don't remember too much about the mechanics, other than that it was very hard. There was fuel and you could travel to destinations but sometimes you would be intercepted by pirates or the space police or something. I think you had crew, and maybe the ship was customizable? I know a big part of the game was buying and selling merchandise to make a profit.
Anyone else remember this game, or know what it was actually called?
7. Played this once on a candy-colored old-school iMac running OS 7 or something. I feel like I remember a Sierra logo. Point and Click adventure game with full motion video characters. I only played one scene: you were frankenstein's Monster just come to life and Frankenstein was there making sure you didn't do anything or escape. He talked to you a bunch and would kill you with an injection if you annoyed him or sow thing. Not sure if it was actually Frankenstein or a rip-off with a different name. Frankenstein was either played by Tim Curry or a guy that my kind has twisted into being Tim Curry and just a similar vibe.
