Games you can't remember, but still miss - describe them.

[Perryman93]

I have no idea about the OP's.

Mine is some game, I swear i know the name. It was some game, i only remember using the multiplayer, it wa son the old PS1. You took control over some sort of car/war machine and tried to kill the other guy... Thererwas something like a leveling system like Defcon 1/2/3/4 or something like that...

i think it may have been grudge warriors, i still have it
could also be re volt, or one of the twisted metal series

I remember almost nothing from my old consoles days, but there's this one particular game that I feel has permanently traumatized me. At first I though it was Warriors of the Eternal Sun, but the more I look at it the less I'm sure it's the game I remember.

It was definitely on the genesis and it was a first person rpg(???!!!). It was in a dungeon and I think you could choose your own characters at the beginning. There were a lot of skeletons and also I was like 7 so I died a lot and the main thing I remember is the game over screen with this woman laying dead on the floor. Like I said, it was very similar to WotES, but I can't recall ever getting out of the dungeons and the graphics don't look like that in my mind.

Could be Dungeon Master (I don't know if that was out on the Genesis, but I think it was) or possibly Ultima Underworld.

It was a game for the PS1 where you designed your robot to fight another robot.
I remember it being like a sort of tournament.
Another thing is that they either had a spring or actual legs to move about on.
I miss you unknown game!

Mine is a PC game, around the time of Doom. I would bet that this game used the same engine. It was set in a castle sort of environment, FPS. I remember you had a crossbow and could fire different types of arrows. You may have had magic, but Im not sure.

There was an old pc game I played once where you were a raptor with a jetpack and the meteor was about to crash into Earth, so you had to fly around and collect eggs. Man, that game was awesome.

(and if they existed, we'd all be fucked.)

Nanosaur! That game was awesome, particularly 'cause we knew the cheats, and played it at school.

I have ONE game i cannot remember the name of, but it was incredibly old (8 years ago?) and you controlled a tank, it was set in the kinda future, cos i remember...lasers and the like. I only played the demo, but it was quite hard, and it was a snow level. Thats all i remember

8 years is not incredibly old lol.

Perhaps you are thinking of BattleTanx? A fantastic N64 game.

I think he is, and yes, that game is awesome. In fact, the way they say "Prisoner rescued" when rescuing a prisoner has stayed with me all my life. I think about it whenever I capture the flag in other video games.

Hexen (or Heretic)

What console what is on? Describe the main character and other features of the game.

As for me, it was a Spiderman game I think. For a very old console, and I distinctly remember the first bosses being 3 cheerleaders with hair they whip around and a larger (not giant, but absurdley tall) cheerleader after that who also uses her hair.

I swear I'm not making this up.

That sounds suspiciously like Spider-Man/Venom: Maximum Carnage for the SNES/Genesis. Although if I recall the first boss in that game were these 2 punk chicks that whacked you with their hair.

 

[Lucane]

It was this animated style game that had this weird batman rodent or something to that effect. I think it was on ps1. I loved it as a kid. I keep thinking its called gliderman but i know thats wrong.

Jersey Devil?

Alright, 2 games for your reckoning...

First was a space civ sim. You had your race and there were other races you could diplomacise with. I remember one of the other races looked a bit like a sandwich... I remember you could build ships, and you first decided the size of the ship, and filled up the ships slots with engines and weapons and shiz, so you could fill it full of engines and have it mega fast or have no engines and all weapons for a really slow gun platform style thing. Also the only way to travel between systems was by wormhole, but you could set up wormhole blocks or something...
EDIT: And it was turn based! I think. Well it might have been. Probably?

The other game was a top down swords and sorcery type game. It worked over LAN on the PC, and the multiplayer was a bunch of large maps with nothing to do but kill and level up. Also it was colourful in that bright way that old games were, you know how I mean. I also remember that soon into the game's single player one level had a lot of giant turtles to kill. And the first level had your hero looking for a sword or something.

Gotta love pre-12 year old Me's memory.

Neither of these are really ringing a bell. The first one might be Alpha Centauri. Do you have a time frame they came out?

 

[Citizen.Erased]

Could be Dungeon Master (I don't know if that was out on the Genesis, but I think it was) or possibly Ultima Underworld.

It wasn't either of those games, but looking up Dungeon Master on google I found out that the game was Eye Of The Beholder so thanks!

 

[Kurokami]

Search bar approved - found things similar about what you miss IN games, but not actual games.

Now I'm doing this because you're all the knowledgable sorts on games (I'd like to think so anyway), therefore it would make sense to come here.

Anyways, I remember playing this old, old JRPG/RPG where you ran round a city and into forests etc. The colours were seriously bright, like grass was acid green. Near the start, you'd pop out to the forest and fight worms mostly for the start of it. Seriously can't remember the name of it, any help would be appreciated on what game this is

If anyone else has this similar problem, post them in this thread - somebody in the community is bound to know what game you're talking about

Sounds like FF8 to me, but then its not very specific, sorry...

I used to play a 2 player game where you both started in a base and could choose 1 of 4 vehicles, a helicopter, tank, jeep and some APC thing which drops mines. You were on and island and meant to destroy the other guys base, when you got too far out to see this submarine would rise up and kill you.

Oh and the jeep was kickass, would turn into a raft and shiz, ^^

There was a game on the sega mega drive/genesis that you were a racoon or a possum or something, possibly wearing armour. It was 2d. you could charge up and rocket in a certain direction. You could hang from trees/ other horizontal lines with your tail.

Cookie to whoever know what the hell im talking about. I'm sure i didnt imagine playing it haha.

EDIT: FOUND IT!!!!!!1111!1!!1! Mega thanks to the OP for starting a thread like this and reminding me to look for a game that I remember playing as a kid, but couldnt find any evidence of existing, post 1997

In case anyone was wondering: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocket_Knight_Adventures

Oh my god...

I played this when I was like five with my brother and loved it, I could never remember the name and eventually 7 years late decided it must be some old starfox game or something.

Thanks! =]

I remember playing a demo of a game. It was fantasy, with wizards and such. Anyway, it was a strategy game, where you were a wizard, and you summoned creatures to fight for you. I think you could choose your wizard, and the one I chose was a bald guy. The minions you summoned were also 3 types of groups. The only one I can think of is a sort of nature group. It was a top-down game. And thats pretty much all I remember. It's not exactly much, but it's all I can think of at the moment.

If it was for PS2, then that's Heroes: Of Might and Magic

I remember playing a DOS game which was this really old baloon shooter. You'd see your crosshair and would shoot arrows at colourfull ballons that kept floating upward. Different colours gave different points. It was pretty addicting, had puke ugly 90's graphics and a green background if I remember correctly.

Sorry, but that described about 90% of all JRPGs ever made.

Sorry, I couldn't really be anymore specific...It's kinda grainy in my head, it's driving me up the wall not knowing what it is though Also, it might be Bubbleman, or Bubble trouble.

Holy crap, I played that too...

Not a clue what the game was though sorry, but it sure was addicting, you're right.

And it doesn't sound like Heroes of might and magic as those are (the Heros games I've played) turn based strategy games. Also they had many more creatures (7 for each faction/race I believe) of course I'm talking about the PC game, didn't know any were released on the PS2 so I could be wrong.

[WanderingBiscuits]

@Lucane: You my friend win the internet! Thanks a lot! Im definately gonna buy it again

 

[Kurokami]

I can vaguely remember a game on the N64, I believe. You were a kid with black hair, and you could also turn into an older version of yourself at will, I think...maybe, anyway. I think there may have been a girl around somewhere as well. It was all classic Japanese sorta design in the setting, but there was funky stuff like lasers too.

And a huge mecha battle. REALLY huge mecha battle that involved flying across a plain while shooting the other mech from the cockpit of yours in first person view. Goddamn awesome. Really, really hard at the same time though.

No idea what it was called at all. Only played it a couple of times. Shame, I'd like to try it again and see if it's easy now.

(Also, first post, hurrah! No more skulking in the background!)

Congrats and welcome!

 

[fletch_talon]

It was a RPG on the PS1, where with one character you were a girl and you started out in a catholic school run by Nuns, and when you explored the land beyond the school it was from a top down perspective, like the NES Final Fantasys. Also, you played as another character, a boy, and one of the earliest fights was in a forest/jungle with a gorilla. The battle system was turned based too I believe.

Wild Arms
The chick was a mage, the bloke was a swordfighter/archaeologist/tomb raider and the boy used the wild arms which were ancient artifacts even though they were guns.

I can't remember the name of my first PS1 game..In it I think you were a 10-year-old boy with a gun that shoots bubbles or something similar. Some of the enemys were bats I think. I think it was a FPS.

Rascal?

 

[SnowdensOfYesteryear]

It was a PS2/PS1 game. I think it was pretty obscure, but I'm not sure... it was in my younger days. Basically, it was a game where you piloted a mech, and the part I remember about it the most (strangely) was that you could walk around inside a station-type thing sometimes, and the alarm would go off, and you'd have to go back to your mecha, get inside, and... yeah.

 

[esperandote]

I recently bought a console that is a new released sega genesis/megadrive, it has 20 biult in games and it costed less than $25. Since then i've been trying to remeber wich games i had when i had my origina genesis (i lost all the games) I was glad to know that one of the games i liked the most was included, decap attack.

Bakc on topic, I remember most of the games i had but there's one about a robot that had aerial view. I rember the sticker had just black background and the title in white and blue, resembling metal. On the final level (i think) you went trhough and scape sequence. I wich i could say more.

Found it!

[Zetsubou-Sama]

PC game came around the time of Metal Fatigue and Age of Empires 2. It was a spaceship sim, like ace combat in space.

In the first mission you had to kill some enemy spaceships, then you "light travelled" only to find your mothership getting destroyed. Anyone knows?
