I'm looking for an obscure pc game I remember. It was really early 3d and it had very little music, you played as either a guy with a nose for a head or else just a giant nose. It was very surreal and disturbing. It was definitely in English but it might have been foreign. It looked like something on the bottom tier of one of those "how casual are you" images. I remember pizza, possibly delivering one, and walking around town. The camera worked like old resident evil, fixed camera angles with your character moving between maps. Can anyone tell me what it was? Google is doing nothing for me.

In return I offer my tastiest pie recipe.

It was a Gameboy game, original gb, black and white. There were chickens, and a hoe, and a trade quest. It looked vaguely like links awakening. It might have been a farming game. It might have been in japanese, my Japanese fob friend was playing it but I don't remember seeing any text.

It was a flash game, fairly old. It was kind of edgy, had some DMC clone of a guy with a big sword and 2 guns. Wore a grey cloak had black hair. It played like a 2D DMC with you doing combos with grades like A, B, C and such. OST was Rock related.

I was a kid when we rented this game, it was on the NES and it was a sort of top down view. It had a lot of map changes, the character sort of looked like a ball or something from the perspective. I don't think it had any rpg elements, it looked kinda detailed for a NES game

FPS, very primitive 3D. First mission had you starting in a gray valley.

I recall there being something appearing similar to a metal Vectorman, and the name was similar enough to Metal Gear that I associated the name of Metal Gear with this game until I found out what Metal Gear actually was. They are completely unrelated.

A FPS released around Quake 3. Instead of having several weapons it only had one weapon that transformed into different modes. I also think there was dinosaurs but I'm not sure.

Some weird 2D top down shooter that came with an old magazine CD for Mac OS 9. You started out in an office I think, and could grab a rifle from your desk and start shooting people until the police came. It had very basic art, ms paint-like.

Very weird RTS that had everyone dressed up like Halo's Spartans and used something that I think was basic 3D.

You had shit like mecha priests that could heal your guys, a lot of the landscapes looked icy, the soundtrack and FX were funky but passable, and the pathing was really really bad.

Released for PC, I think sometime between 95 and 98.

My request. It was early pc, i'm thinking DOS but i can't be sure. Between DOS and 98 atleast.

It's a sidescroller shooting game. The level i remember (probably the first) had you blasting zombies. I seem to recall once the zombies died you could kick the heads around as well. I can't remember much else sadly. Was quite violent


Another pc game:
Top down shooter, was very violent. End had you murder some sadam hussein lookalike motherfucker. You controlled a green army dude. Could be top down, but the character sprites were 2D...

>>336467586
definetly not. The artstyle wasn't like that. As i remember it was more grim in its setting. Cartoony, but still grim, if that makes sense. And there was only one playable character. Could be a duke nukem knockoff, but don't quote me on that.

Flash like bullet hell where one of the selectable ships is a hotdog. Also, a game where you can play as a ninja or a pirate, platformer like.

There was a screen grab of this game posted here a month ago, but I didn't get to save it.

You were a little boy crouching and running in what looked like a 1950s military base, was a mission where you couldn't get caught by the guards patrolling. There is a minimap in the HUD. From what I remember about the game, this particular mission was a flashback, but I could be mistaken.

I had this game on my PC back in 2002/3.
You we're a worm and you fought ants with modern weaponry.
It was level based, if i remember correctly the first level was a defense, the second you drove a car and ran over ants, i also remember a level where you fought a giant ant.
It may have been part of the Worms series, but i can't find it on the wiki.

It's a browser game that I played around 04(?). You control a ship in a Gradius-like shooter and one of the bosses is a giant polar bear. The bear moves back and forth between the left and right side of the screen.

And it may have used Mozart's music but I'm not sure about that.

I googled around using your description and someone else is describing what seems to be a similar game if it jogs your memory:


I'm looking for the name of an old Mac game aroudn 1990-1998
in the game you see a circus with all kinds of mini games that you can play.
The mini games I remember:
- on a trapeze swing around
- lions had to throw balls into a basketball net
- you could cannon clowns
- big parade in which all characters are dressed like you want.
- you had to teach elephant to dance with foodsteps or something like that.

The main character is a little mouse (I Think).

Either DOS or early Windows.
Sidescrolling game where you played as a caveman, I believe you pressed space to hit enemies with a club.
Possibly you could enter caves.
Health regen was meat (like big hams) that you walked over, either laying around in the levels or dropped by killed enemies.

So, I have been looking for this game for more than a goddamn decade, all I remember is that it was a Super nintendo game, it had a top down view, just like the old Metal Gear games, but the graphics were alright, the other thing I remember was that one of the first bosses/enemies was some sort of cyber crab, the game had a honeycomb map and the whole game about something futuristi I think.
Seriously, if any of you can help I would be eternally grateful

Some sort of tactical RTS/RTT on the moon or something like that
You'd capture "pyramids", I think with glass walls and cities inside.
Each captured pyramid would let you spawn some limited number of units

Late DOS or early w9x game. Came on several CDs. You're a ship captain in 17-18th century, pirate golden age in the Caribbean days. Had several campaigns, at least 2 faction campaigns. Campaigns had missions. You controlled the ship from birds eye view, had complete control over all the ammo being used/fired, which sides to fire from, order of guns firing, sail control, could attack friendlies/turn pirate, micromanaged even what food was being eaten, ration types, the ship's medic, how stern the watch captain was, etc. Could blow up indigenous villages, raid em for goods etc. You could trade with towns and other ships. The gameworld was a continuous fictionalized world map with different continental shapes with like Not-London being on an island connected by a fuck huge Thames. Spanned from Western Europe, Africa, North- and South-America to even like north pole a bit.

So here it is. I remember installing it at more than a decade ago from some CD holding 999+ pirated games. Was working good under Windows 98.
It was set RTS set in the medieval era, and you had to order various types of troops in castles or towns belonging to you (the inside of the castle looked like a room inside a blacksmith, probably with animated fire and overall dark coloring).
After that you were traveling across the country, probably turn-based. But when you were encountering an enemy army, you had some time to place your troops (archers, infantry, cavalrymen etc.) on the field (it was top-down view, and your men were standing at the bottom of the screen), and after that they started going up the map of the battlefield, that was really big, with trees, ponds and othe obstacles, rushing at the enemy troops who stood or moved from the top.
The whole battle part looked very nice, almost like 3D to me back then.

What is this game?

It was a RPG from I think the gamecube, or maybe the PS2. Pretty sure it was that gen.

I've been wondering about this shooter for about 20 years. Kinda like Xevious only it scrolled extremely fast and you could scroll horizontally a bit. Terrain was largely pseudo-3D in the vein of Marble Madness.

It's an old windows 2000ish racer on space, the final vehicle costs like 300k and it's a blue half moon that's hard as ball to drive. After every tournamente there's a cutscene about you going to another planet. You start with a slow ass red tank.

Trying to remember a game, but not much to go on. Pretty sure it was on PC, back in maybe late 90's/early 2000's?

Fairly certain it had 2D graphics. The only bit I can remember of it was stream of lava running down a mountain that you had to cross by jumping on black/dark grey rocks floating in it, that rose/sank repeatedly. The rocks were very round iirc. There may also have been a beige mountain path that you went across which had some metal structures in the background? I don't know if that was the same game or not.

Tried to draw it out in paint but it's a right mess, but I think the perspective is nearly right at least.

Pretty sure it was an old DOS game, I got it from the Dollar Tree when I was like 10. Stuck it in my computer and it loaded up some fast food strategy game.

A PS1 turned based JRPG where you had to input D-Pad directions to do a martial arts-type attack. As you leveled up, you got more slots. The whole gimmick was to try as many combinations as possible to find a kick ass move that would set your enemies on fire or something, but once you found a great attack you would just spam it forever.

I think it started with "The Legend..."

Aight so, there was an old PC game I used to play late 90's, early 00's, I remember you played as this guy in a lab coat, and you were chasing your clone in a black lab coat. The game was tactical, you moved around a map and collected weapons, and you had to save certain sections of cities before your clone destroyed them. Everytime you and your clone fought the cutscenes were like cartoon animated, I remember one of the weapons was this breakdancing guy with a boombox. if you saved a city, it would show a little 3D cutscenes of the city intact, but if your clone beat you, it would show the city destroyed. I also remember the menu was like a bunch of various computer monitors and one of them had a clown on it I think? game had voice acting too.

I've been looking for this game for YEARS, and for the life of me, I cannot find the title, I've asked around, some people recognize it, but I've never gotten a name.
