Okay, this game has honestly been bugging me for like, the last 15 years or so. I hope one of you duders can help before it fades away completely and I drive myself mad.
It was a Super Nintendo game where you played as some kind of putty... thing. I don't remember too much, but I do remember one level where you were like, slinking through pipes or something, possibly in underground sewers. You might have been purple? Maybe green? It's been so long since I've tried to find it that I barely remember anything about it anymore. It's not Super Putty or Putty Squad or Claymates. Those seem to be more about like, punching and stuff and I seem to remember going through pipes being a big mechanic of this game.
If anyone can parse through that to find an answer, well, goddamn.
One is a PS1 racing game where the cars are kind of like clown cars in that the nose and rear are very small. You could customize your car by buying different engines (and probably wheels and stuff, but I specifically remember engines). I also remember a lot of blue in the menus. I only ever rented it and I don't think I ever anyone talk about it either online or in real life. No idea if it holds up, but I remember liking it a lot. Probably played this around 1998~
The second one is a top down space shooter, probably on the PC, where you could pick up different weapons and they'd just hang off of the side of your ship until you had a ship that's like 10 weapons wide, five on either side. That's not a lot to go on, but I figured I'd try anyway. The only other specific detail I can offer is that I must have played it before the year 2000.
I have been trying to find the name of this game for years. I remember very little, but hopefully someone will know what I'm talking about. I think it was on commodore64 or maybe Apple IIe, so it's a pretty old game. The graphics are extremely basic. You are a little blue stick guy and you have to navigate through a sort of labyrinth of rooms. I remember spiders being one of the enemies. I think in order to win the game you had to find "some thing (i forget)" to shrink the stick guy so he could fit through this skinny tunnel in one of the rooms. I swear it was called "jump" but I can't find it anywhere, so I could be wrong. I don't think you can attack in the game, I think you just try to avoid getting caught. I wish i could remember more but It has been a long time.
Sounds a bit like Maziacs... or at least the first part does. Nice little game.
The guys talking about Evolve when they came back from PAX East made me think about an old home computer game (Commodore/BBC Micro/Spectrum or something) from the mid-late 80's. It was a top-down 2D game played competitively in a maze with two players. You were...wizards?....I think? And the idea was to travel around the maze picking up items that would allow you to cast spells on the other person if you found them. For some reason, I remember that your health was represented with an image of you on one side of the screen which gradually sunk into the ground as you took damage and then a tombstone slowly rose out of the ground. Once the tombstone was completely out of the ground, you were dead.
I have partially convinced myself that I dreamed the whole thing.
