This one is killing me. My uncle gave me this game for my bday circa late 80's early 90s. He thinks it was developed by Sierra but I'm not 100% sure on that. Here's what I know

1.) It's about whales (Not Whale's Voyage)

2.) Educational feel for most of it - you can go out and spot different types of whales - decent graphics at the time.

3.) The other part of the game was exploring this old whaling museum. Part mystery, etc.. You could click on Harpoons, look at paintings etc... But it was definitely a "mystery".

4.) Played on Apple 2GS

Any ideas????
I am also looking for this game. BUT it wasnt just a musium. You also would explore a mansion. It belonged to an old whaler. At one point you wake up and a picture of the old dude is beconing to you. Most of the story parts were all text based. The point of the game is getting all the clues and eventually opening the attic where you find the old mans journal.
And you skate board around a bit. (there was also 2 different versions of the game, one newer one older)
Thats all I know
Took a bit of Googling, but...
That's Audubon Wildlife Adventure - Whales. http://www.whatisthe2gs.apple2.org.za/whales

Another one for yas, This one was similar to Descent, sort of an arena based game. The demo, all i can remember, had this one weird fleshy looking tunnel map with weird language everywhere. I refound the game not long ago but lost it again.

I'm trying to recall an old Windows game (late 90's?) where you were placed in charge of a planet, and you could mine different spots, work with the spy agency to dig up dirt on both allies and enemies and then blackmail them. The game had a narrator who was kind of a redneck, and you could even dig up dirt on him and blackmail him at which point he'd call you up and say "YOU STINK" (but give in to your demands and give you money).

How much money you got mining depended on where you placed mines, and you placed them on a 2D planet surface with a really large, clumsy plus-shaped crosshair.

- From around the year 2000, definitely before 2004, probably between 1999 and 2002
- PC game
- You would always drive an armored vehicle, a tank
- The setting was apparently not Earth, but some other (kinda barren, and blue-ish?) planet
- The design of the tanks was kinda futuristic, but not too much
- If I'm not mistaken, other tanks would appear and you could attack them
- I think the perspective was like 3rd person, but just above the tank.

It's not Hostile Waters: Antaeus Rising, Battlezone, Incoming, Recoil, 3D Power Tank or Treadmarks. Additional info: the action took place close to the ground and at night. The tanks were futuristic, but just barely, not like those in Battlezone 2. You jumped right into gameplay, with no intros. I THINK. It might have been a demo or something...
It is Thunder Brigade. http://www.mobygames.com/game/thunder-brigade

I?m looking for a game not sure when it came out but we played it a few years back in school. You were either the aliens or humans and you picked a side. You would then start building a city/village. Depending on your mines and things you built would be which guns and weapons you would get. Then you would destroy each other facilities. The first to destroy the HQ would win the game. I?m wondering if anyone knows the name since I?m at a total loss right now. You would be on a relatively small map and would be in opposite directions of each other.

Ok, I've been trying to recall the name of this game for ages!! Hope you guys can help me on this

Facts I am sure of
a) Two player cooperative
b) Maze like game like bomberman
c) Multiple stages
d) To complete each stage, you have to find the key for the portal to open
e) In some stages, you can punch the tile which will transform into a flying missle to kill enemies

Facts that i'm not too sure
a) Platform - I recall playing super Mario on this console, so should be famicon, nes or snes
b) a bit of Japanese theme (e.g. ninja??)
c) gameplay consist of defeating enemies through kicks, punches

You can also do that in Shiny's "Messiah" (2000), it's way older though.

Oh yeah, and "American McGee presents: Scrapland" (2004).

i'm looking for a early 90s DOS game, i think it was a point and click adventure, set on some distant planet, possibly mars, you could switch between several characters i *think* and the goal might have been to get back to earth? the art style was kinda victorian/ steam-punk and in
my memory seems kinda similar to 'the chaos engine' and 'i have no mouth...'

i remember playing it with my uncle as a kid, but when i asked him he had no idea what i was talking about

and no, i don't mean 'the dig' , this was more around the time of monkey island and larry V.

Thinking of a old Windows 98/00 (Give or take a few years) era Mech game I snuck onto my old mans PC to play. I'm fairly certain you piloted a humanoid mech (Robotech Tomahawk Destroid looking olive drab thing) that I believe you had a few different models to choose from (I seem to remember one having a bundle of lumber on it for trench/ditch crossing perhaps?) pre mission. The one I remember using wielded some kind of assault rifle looking weapon in its right hand visible from the cockpit. There may have been a 3rd person mechanic but I'm unsure. These mechs also had a variety of shoulder mounted and perhaps left arm mounted weaponry ranging from semi guided missiles to faster firing dumb rockets. Another mechanic I vaguely remember is that you may have had the ability to switch from fast walking to a wheeled kinda movement (Think Code Geass if you've seen the anime).

From the mission I remember playing you start off near a large building in a forest clearing that can be destroyed. Behind it ran a few soldiers that I believe you could lay waste to. You fight your way through this forest/jungle area and a valley or two against turrets and possibly humanoid mechs. Eventually you come to a shoreline facility with a very shallow lake and a large building/ship/island far out in the water. I'm pretty sure it fired from emplacements on it at you. 2-4 large (head and shoulders above your cockpit at least) bipedal mechs come storming across the lake to tangle with you. I very much remember hiding in a hanger on the shore while these things were swarming me. I think the objective was to defeat those things and destroy the base thing out in the water and fight your way back to the start. I was so young that I don't even think I could be bothered to read anything and I do not believe I ever completed the mission.

I remember this game so well that I know it has to exist but I may be blending two together. Please prove I'm not losing my damn mind. I've taken a look at the Mechwarrior games and those don't seem to be the ones but I do think my Dad also owned one. The graphics seem very similar to Mechwarrior 3 but my memory is too hazy and I don't recall the UI being that complicated. I remember alot of green and vegetation and not the flat brown of Mechwarrior.

Are you absolutely sure that it was point and click, instead of an RPG? Because that sounds a lot like Ultima Adventures 2: Martian Dreams. Which was published in 1991, same year as Larry 5.

I remember this old dungeon crawler game, where there was an over world where you could buy stuff, and then there was the dungeon where you fought slimes and giant bugs, I remember that you could either be a boy or a girl, and you could either have a cat or a dog... I also remember that the deeper into the dungeon you whent, the harder it got, also once you got really deep, there were Giant rhino beetles and black widows...

90s educational point-and-click computer game. from what i can remember, you followed the story of a scientist and his assistant on an island. you started in his science lab and traveled to different parts of the island (a spaceship, a coliseum, the jungle, a castle). i also remember that you could create a creature by evolving it in his science lab (sort of an evolution chamber), and that creature could fight in the coliseum. there was also a part where you built a catapult and launched this eccentric scientist through a castle window. the assistant was shrunk at one point, so you had to analyze carpet fibers to find out where she was. the scientist carried around a device (i think it was called a pda at the time). the last thing i can remember was a puzzle that involved changing the wind direction to help move a hot air balloon around the island.

help please?
THE ADVENTURES OF HYPERMAN! I've been looking for this one forever and I finally found it. Made an account just in case anyone else is looking for the same. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEEMkVuiTYs

Hey, so I really want to find a game I played when I was younger.

It was for Windows (95 or 98) and it was a worm game but NOT Worms! The only thing I can think was it was Worms for Windows or something like that.

You would have a level and you'd have to get a little green worm to get from the start to the end without getting killed on spikes or falling down gaps by dropping boxes which would make a bridge or allow it to crawl along the ceiling or turn it back the other way.

It also gave you the option of creating your own level creator.

Of course, any googling only ever brings up the big Worms games.
I'm pretty sure the game you are talking about is Liero [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liero].
I remember this game too and I'm also trying to find it. It is definitely not Liero. There is no fighting or teams or anything like that. Just a maze and tools to use to get the worm through the maze and into a flowerpot at the end of the maze. Has anyone found this game yet?
