I have a game I can't remember the name. It was a 2d side scroller shooter. It had a guy in a green shirt and I'm pretty sure you were killing aliens in it. The first level I think had a lot of cars right behind you crashed or left there. Im also pretty sure the main character was black with a mustache. Please help me.

Hello! I am a cancer patient that wants to enjoy my remaining life playing my favorite arcade game of my childhood.

Please, Im dying to know this game. :)
It was a 2D scrolling game. The main character is a standing dog. This dog walks and run and has a weapon, if I am not mistaken it was a ball-of-chain.

The setting is in the jungle wherein He encounters different monsters and every level there is a special strong enemy.

He is spinning that ball of chain to penetrate his enemies.

The last time I played this is when I was in elementary school days.

1998 - 2002 are the years that I played this game.

thankyou! :)

Joined these forums to specifically post here, hopefully you guys can help me out. I've searched about 30 pages in here and its getting frustrating.

I have 2 games on pc that I remember from roughly 1995-1998:

- You were a space ship going through levels, getting upgrades on weapons(start with shooting 1 bullet, upgrade to then shoot 2 infront of you, then upgrade to shoot 1 infront 2 to the side), you would always be shooting(i think), you would be moving in a straight direction, there have been a lot of similar games released since

- Very vague about this one, but it was a sort of shooter game where you could verse a friend on the same computer where one person would use, wasd to move, q e and shift to jump and shoot and change weapons, where the other would use the arrows and /., some of those keys and you could jump around this massive flat map, find weapons and kill each other, it had jet packs or anti gravity or something, characters werent that big on the screen

That is all i remember :S

One of the Golden Axe games had a character that used a ball and chain as a weapon but he wasn't a dog.

Okay I got 2 games:

Both I believe are for the ps1-ps2. very late 90's to early 2000's. First is where you race RC toy cars. The intro or story consists of you, a little boy, playing with his pet frog. The frog croaks "help me" as a bully who takes ur pet says in order to get ur frog back you must play his game. Then it shows some other kid getting thrown into a garbage can. He had a war helmet on and glasses.

Second one: Another racing game, same time period, and system. All i remember from this one was were you can play against each other and one of the maps was a island in the air, and you both had cars of your choosing. The cars looked futuristic, and it was mainly to battle each other. You could get powerups such as shield, lasers, thrusters, and rockets to shoot. When you played there was electronic music playing. Sounding near to dubstep. That's all i remember from that one.

Please Help!
The second one is almost definitely one of the Wipeout games.

Is it any of these?


Edit: By the way, Wipeout XL was also called Wipeout 2097 in some regions.

Hi everyone!

I know I'll be judged because I joined simply to post in this thread - but I NEED to know the name of this game. Driving me crazy.

I played it on Windows 95-98, a 2D game where you dug underground (think like Motherload on miniclip) but you were a spaceman/astronaut and there were aliens running around in the ground (from what I remember, quite fast!) that yelled phrases like "Take me to your leader!" and "Resistance is futile!"

Seems simple to remember, but after endless googling and asking people nothing can seem to tell me the name of this game!

Cheers.

hello, all

i've been trying to find this game for years now to no avail and im starting to give up hope, but here goes:

There was this 2 player side-scrolling shooter in the early 90's, for the arcade only i think, where you played as a yellow spaceship (2nd player was purple) travelling planet-to-planet blowing away masses of little aliens and other space-y enemies.

Most of the aliens looked like little, mini-Godzillas and i think they made high pitched noises when they were shot/killed. Each planet was different but most of the baddies were recycled. You would horizontally travel thru each planet infinitely (e.g. the background kept repeating in whichever direction you were moving) until killing all, or maybe some quota of, the baddies on the planet. And i think some planets would contain only a "boss" baddie which was always huge, taking up most, if not all, of the screen. i think one of the bosses looked like a giant ED209 from RoboCop.

well, it's hard to call it a shooter, actually .. there wasn't a ton of projectiles on screen, and it seemed somehow mission based? i think maybe there was a need to rescue stranded humans? was Defender considered a shooter? this game reminded me of Defender a bit..

also i think i remember some kind of power-up where a pod with a turret was attached to the back of your ship.

Anyone know what the hell im talking about?

Hey, this has been bugging me for sooooo long. It was a late 90s early 2000s pc game where you're like this bald guy in a white shirt. The premise of this game is walking around a dungeon killing monsters with hammers that you throw. Really 3d cartoonish game and I think there were like colored keys you have to find to open colored doors?

Hi guys!

Please help me with this one.

All I remember is that it was a PC 3rd person shooter (played it in middle 2010's) set in something like a haunted house. Also main charachter appeared to be starring on a live TV show as he had a camera always flying behind him (you could also always see what camera is filming as there was a PIP screen available).
Game was pretty creazy.

I can only really not remember one game.

It was a top-down Arcade shmup. The only real standout thing about it was that your plane was actually a Lamborgini with wings, jet engines and guns strapped to it.

Hello, I'm trying to find an old PC game that had I think four different sections to it. It was somewhat educational, or at least made for kids. I remember three sections pretty well, so I'll try to describe each of them:
One would give you a picture of something in a frame (so it would look like a painting), but there would be an obvious mistake in it. It would look like a tear or a photoshop swirl, etc. Your goal was to replicate those changes on a separate picture using some little alien people or something. Like, each one of them represented an effect and you would recreate the modified pictures.
Another section was like a sandbox game, but I remember using it most for the preset levels because they looked pretty. You would spawn little metal-looking balls and you could pretty much manipulate the area like it was sand--depress or elevate some areas, create paths, change gravity, and the balls would follow the rules of physics. The preset levels were pretty nice, I remember one of them looked like a pool table.
The last one I remember was kind of like riddles. There were a bunch of alien-like characters, and you had to match them to their "homes" based on clues you got about their homes and their neighbors and such. For example: "The one with the purple hat lives in between the tall one and the curly-haired one." So you solved each level by putting every character in the correct spot.

I believe there was one more section to the game, but I can't remember what that one was. I've been trying to search with those descriptions in Google, but I'm not getting very far. Hopefully someone here can help me? :[

Can someone help me find a game. I think it was windows 95. You were in a tank. It was first person. You could control multiple tanks at once. I believe it was a grassy/tropical setting. You switched between your tanks through a map. There were little usa flags on the map to mark where your tanks were. That's all I can really remember. Oh and for so reason you could go into a nightvision like mode, although I don't think there was ever night time..

hello :) i've been searching for this game for sometime now. all i remember about it is that you are a robot and you play this game in 2d and 3d. When you are fighting a boss its in 3d and when you are on normal stages its in 2d. i also remember that after beating a boss you get some sort of special weapon. if im not mistaken one of it had to do something with unicorn.and the other's are named after animals i think. owh and the final boss is in 2d. and its very huge.

edit: found it! its called gear fighter dendoh! :)
