>>334668432

there is one i can't remember the name of, it was a shooting game set in the wild west on either snes or genesis. i remember there was a chick you can play dressed up with wild west attire, and you could co-op with someone else. i know there were other characters you could play as but i don't remember them, just the female you could play as. the last thing i remember is, when you beat the game, the woman was sitting on the ground with her legs outstretched as the credits rolled by. if you were co-oping, the palette-swapped woman would sit on the other side of the credits sitting down the same way.

been trying to remember what game this is for the longest time.

Snes beat em up where at the second level you fight inside some sewers.

No dinosaurs, no Captain Commando or Ninja Turtles. Fuck i only remember that single part of the game

Platformer my dad played when I was little in mid to late 90s.

You controllered a cat dressed in a blue napoleonic style uniform and you carried a saber.

I remember that your enemies were dogs dressed in red napoleonic style uniforms.

It may have been a demo because I think the only level I remember playing was a sewer type level.

Been trying to find the name of this game for years.

It was a super nintendo game I blieve where you played a monkey in prehistoric times trying to rescue your monkey girlfriend. Whenever you grabbed these red gems you would evolve into a caveman. It was a side scrolling platformer. That's all I can remember.

Think it was on Win 95, I believe it was point and click maybe. It was like a sci-fi/horror game. There were these spider monster thing with red and blue stripes when you killed them I think the bled green sort of. You would would click door ways to move to the next room/area. Sometime they were traps though. Like one you would slide down a tunnel and into some giant mouth. I think the PC was a girl. I remember some more stuff too in anyone needs more details.

Well, not really as a kid, but there was this side-scrolling beat'em up in the Nintendo DS.
Characters looked like the average shounen plastic techno babble, like beyblades with visors.
The interesting part, though, was that you could customize your main combo, and each move had a musical note attached to it. When you used your combo, the game played the leitmotif you had set when editing the combo.

Trying to remember an old platformer on PC/iOS. Must be 20 years old by now but you played as an ape similarly to DK but it had more of a clay look to it and it definitely wasn't DK considering the platform.

I can't remember if you collected bananas or not.

I've never had one of these thread help, but I'll try once again

It was a PC game. Either late 90's or early 00's. It was a top-down shooter with RPG elements. You played as a Wizard, I think dressed in blue. There was an overworld map you'd explore, and find entrances to stages where you had to collect things before heading to the exit. There were also random encounters I think? Where you'd just have to kill everything before going back to the world map. You could buy new wands and armor and stuff from shops. There were also spellbooks you could find that gave you different types of attacks/abilities for an MP cost

Anyone have -any- idea at all?

Nobody will ever be able to tell me what this was.

When I was little, on my dad's old (either 98 or ME) I played this game that was played 2d top-down. It had a cinematic that would play on startup about "Autonomous machines with a distinct urge to build" they were basically robotic bugs, like dragonflies and beetles/centipedes. Your job was to fly your (bug?)ship around and bomb the robo-bug's bases. Each level had a number of bases to destroy.

Sorry about how vaugue the description is. That's literally all I can remember other than drawing it out and the feeling I had while playing it, which was fun.

This has bugged me for ages.

All I can remember is that it was an mmo from the mid-aughts, with Fairyland/Ogre Battle-style combat, and one of the first allies you got was a generic knight guy, and together you went into the castle to report shit and got ganked there.

It might've been an FFT-style combat system instead though. I can't remember. I don't know why I stopped playing.

PS1 game. All I remember is it was 3D top down and you controlled some guy navigating through this place with a bunch of monsters. Some maze type dungeon crawler or something. Graphics were cartoonish.

Some old pc or commodore side-scrolling platformer where you had to collect gold or something as a yellow potato I believe with pants, or some other round thing.

It might also not have had pants.

When you died you would turn into a white pile of what I assumed were mashed potatoes.

I just looked it up and from the picture it looked familiar, but watching a video it looks way more complicated than I remember. It might have been because my dad would set up the machine to play it every time. I'd need to see a death, but it doesn't look like you can die in this game. I was almost sure it was it but it's close enough. It also looks a bit too "new" compared to what I played.
