when I was a kid, which was probably around the year 2000, I had a game...it was situated in space or based around spaceships and fights....it has a slightly japanese feel/anime style to it...there were a couple of characters, girls and the last one (probably) a boy...with brown hair...anyone could help me identify it?
Tell us a bit more if you can, mate. 2D? 3D? First person, third person, top-down view? What system/console? Do you remember any sort of names?

Although seeing anime-ish and space together, I would personally think a Star Ocean game, but I could be very wrong, and likely am.
I wish I'd remember if it was firt person, although I don't think so and I don't think it was 3D, but not sure....and yeah, it was on PC :)

PC, huh. Was it an RPG, do you remember? Did it install from a disk, or was it a download? Or perhaps emulated?

This probably is not it, but it's from around the right time period...

sorry, not it :(
No worries, figured. Was the art like that, or more of a sprite/pixel-based thing?

That's actually very helpful!

Not this, is it? http://www.mobygames.com/game/windows/abaddon_/screenshots/gameShotId,39582/ (I'm still looking, this is kinda fun.)

no :( a bit more realistic....I'm searching for something that would remind me of it a bit more
That would be good...I can't seem to find anything space-related from the right time period. You're absolutely certain it was something to do with space? I'm assuming there's no battlemechs or RTS-type stuff involved, you'd likely remember that.

(Edit: Actually, take a look at Septerra Core? It's 3D, but it might be more along the right lines.)

I just remember the characters and ships...and know there were some battles involved :(
Alright, last guess for the night. Not this one? http://www.mobygames.com/game/windows/a-blurred-line

And again, might like to have a peek at Septerra Core, if you didn't catch my edit above.

Sorry, mate. D: Someone else will probably have to find this one for you - hope it gets found soon. I may just not be looking in the right places.

Sorry if this is in the thread already, but here's the one I'm looking for: Arcade game from late 80's, early 90's, isometric view, multi-player co-op (4 players, I think), I don't recall that there was any clear "goal" other than to hack/slash. There were what seemed like many "boards" that you got to by walking through portals; you could "pick up" different weapons or a weapon from a co-op player that dropped it if they died (I remember one was a whip, I think there was a gun, can't remember others). It's not Arcus Odyssey. Any ideas?
sounds like

Dark Adventure (aka Devil World) (1987)

Finally, a thread for this, alright, I'm looking for a game that I played Way back on the windows 95.
I have no clue what its called and it seems like nobody else had played it.

The game took place in a sort of isometric/3rd person view, it was 3D but the polygons were that of the first 3D final fantasy game.

You played as a woman in a blue dress, it's raining on some sort of street/dock, there were various strange characters, such as an old woman stting on a bridge who had lost her umbrella to an anthro fox (I believe) who stole it. another strange thing was that there were buildings, however when you went inside one you would be transported to some sort of death room, in which were monsters (skeletons I believe) who tried to kill you.

another thing comes to mind when I think of this game, penguins. I'm pretty sure there was at least one penguin in this game, probably not though.

also, this was some sort of demo, because I remember the 'BUY NOW' screen when you shut down the game.
(that screen had a picture of the woman flying)
hope someone can help me, this has been on my mind for a VERY long time.

Hello! I need help finding a game which i played LONG ago but don't remember the name of!

It was a PC game. RPG and (i believe) Third Person. As far as I remember, there was no character customization, so the character had black hair. You started the game in a scout tower. Whenever you got down, some wolves came and tried to kill you and you had no way to defend yourself (atleast I remember so). It was a big field and you had to run somewhere, but I don't remember where.

To launch the game, whenever you clicked on the EXE, a window would pop up with 3 buttons for 3 (i think) different campaigns(?). I played around with it a little bit, and since the first one was played by my big brother, he told me not to press it. The second and third ones were practically the same.

The description is pretty vague, i know... But if you could PLEASE help me find this game i would very much appreciate it! I looked for it EVERYWHERE and couldn't find it anywhere!
doesn't exactly matches the description, but could be

Gothic (2001)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AV2gY4MBKr4

there is no character customization there are wolves, etc..could be even Gothic II.
Doesn't seem like it's it... Though i thank you for trying! But I have another request.

I remember there was an FPS MMO game on Steam. I think it was set in the tropics? You could customize your guns and I remember 1 person having a Golden Rifle of some sorts. One of the levels was like a film set, and another one was like on one of those beaches with those bridges and shacks on them, like Dead Island had, also I believe there was like a destroyed town, seemed like it was in africa or something similar? Also I remember it being like a "Game" as in, it was a Game inside a Game, or atleast it presented itself like that, or so I remember... I don't think it's on Steam anymore, because I can't find it in my game list or on the list of games I played on the Steam Calculator. Also it was a free game, obviously xD

I remember playing that game a year or 2 ago.

Hello fellow game lovers! So, I'm practically knocking my forehead onto my keyboard trying to remember this game from my childhood. I would say early to mid 90s, 3D-ish graphics, first person. Not a shooter from what I can recall, but the memory that keeps kicking around in my brain is clicking into different rooms and being scanned and then allowed into a pod of some sort. And I wanna say it had time travel/teleporting (in the pod maybe?) in it but I dunno if that's another game trying to insert it's own thing. Also it was on PC and I wanna say I played it from a demo CD. Any help is greatly appreciated!

I see you mention Dead Island. Was it by any chance the ~sequel~ ( http://www.mobygames.com/game/windows/dead-island-riptide )? That is the only FPS I'm finding within the past few years to fit all your conditions.
