Konami Wai Wai World on the NES. It was a Konami crossover platformer game on the NES where you gather a bunch of heroes from Konami franchises and games and you have to save the earth from some aliens or something. It was in Japanese and I was a kid in Venezuela when I last played it, so it wasn't until last year that I discovered the name of the game after thoroughly searching Gamefaqs' list of NES games from A to W...It was worth it though, for a game of my childhood.

Dinosaur Hunter.
If only didactic multimedia terrified me as much as Amnesia does nowadays.
I swear, this shit is flat out creepy:

Toy commander for the dreamcast. I loved it when I was a kid. The ending for it was possibly the first game that made me cry. Or at least feel really sad. Wish they could have made another.

Terramex. It was an action adventure about an agent that tries to find a scientist who is the only one who can save Earth from an incoming meteor.

Definitely Raiden Project. Which, as I later discovered, was Raiden 1 and 2.

God, I adored those games. Not to mention the catchy-ass intro theme. Nostalgia overload just hearing it.


Captcha: easy as cake - Bullshit Captcha, that shit was hard for a 5-year-old.

Hm, now let's see what I got in the old memory bank in the rare section of my mind.

Oh! Got one from the "N64" cabinet, filed under "fighting", subsection "M". I present to you Mace: The Dark Age. Looking back I can only describe it as a wonky mix of Mortal Kombat and Soul Caliber - but it was amusing especially on the N64. Example: Fatalities on a Nintendo console?!

And for mood whiplash after that, might I suggest a little Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy? I almost wish this property would get sold to Nintendo, or Insomniac Games, maybe Naughty Dog, or even Double Fine. Hell, auctioned off even because Eurocom doesn't seem to want to do anything with it. I'm just so tired of downer titles and gray-washed worlds.

I could almost swear someone has been running over the pets of game designers recently.

Flashback. (Sometimes called Quest for Identity). It was like the original 2D Prince of Persia, but with guns. In retrospect it was kind of meh, but I loved it at the time.

Also, Exile: Escape from the Pit. (The super old version with the crummy pixelated sprites.) Old-school pen and paper style fantasy RPG set in a giant underground prison colony. Also kind of shit in retrospect, but it was the first RPG I played and so I loved it.

Captcha: "We go forwards". Yes, I have indeed.
I remember the Exile series. I used to play the half game long demos, because I didn't have a credit card when I was a kid obviously. I ended up getting some of his games when they were put on steam as kind of a thanks for giving me hours upon hours of fun for free when I was a kid.

What an awful, awful game. But co-op with another ten year old makes everything better.
When I played that game, I always thought they said, "We're friiiiiiiiiiends." I actually liked the bug mission because all I had to do is destroy the bug prisons and let the freed bugs do the rest. Which made me wonder why they didn't recruit the bugs for any future missions. :/

Dune 1 and 2

I dont see many people who have played or even heard of these games.

Dune 1 is some kind of stratergy/adventure hybrid based on the dune film. You travel around the planet recruiting the local people (fremen) to work for you and eventually fight for you.

Dune 2 was made by westwood before command and conquer and at the time the controls (point and click with mouse) were pretty revolutionary and heavily influrenced the control scheme used in command and conquer. Alot of other RTS you see nowadays borrowed this control scheme and have heavily improved on it.
