Hurrah! Glad I could help! Spectrobes is an awesome series, as well as a heavily underrated one.Myfee said:

Hi, there is two computer games whose names have eluded me for years and it has been driving me insane.
The first was about a little boy, who goes on vacation (beach, ship/boat, etc.) with his parents. In each location, you have to try and hide from your parents. I think the kid continuously walked around the area and you have to click on things to help you hide...
The second was kind of like an rpg. The main menu, I believe, had a crystal ball on it but I'm not sure. I do know that it had a mountainscape with a forest. The player had multiple characters to choose from. Humans, (male/female) skeletons with hoods, lizard men, and creatures that rode on toads. I believe that when you played as the creatures that rode on toads you started the game in a watery (swamp like) landscape. In the game, the player had to create a band of allies. One of said allies was a kind of seductress whose attack was a kind of spell, that when used on an enemy, would make them an ally. If the player approached an enemy it 'teleported' them to a sort of battle area, which was a rectangular/square piece of landscape surrounded by black, kind of like a fog of war. That's all I really remember.
These two games could, of course, have been created by my active imagination. I'm not sure... Oh and both of these games were probably made in the 1990's-early 2000's.

So - late at night, surfing the web, no idea where you're going - and you land on a site that talks about a bunch of old DOS games...
And there I am - reading through the list - and I see a series of "Cave Quest" type games - which brings back a memory.
So this was probably early to mid 80's. I was on the ship with my father (Navy). And he dropped me off in their computer room to play games.
Now this game - it was a "DOS" type game - it had text on the bottom (where you can select directions), and above it - it had VERY simple line graphics that represented a cave (or a maze? I think a cave).
And (I can't remember the exact point) - but there was (I believe) a Yeti in the cave. And you would have to avoid it.
Occasionally you would get hints like, "You hear growling to the east." (Or something...)
Anyone have a clue on this one?

I'm not sure, but it is pretty old. Pre-2007 for sure. It's not Marble Blast, but it seems similiar. I feel like I might be imagining things now, but I can see the platforms made out of squared textures in my memory flashback, kind of like black and white kitchen floor tiles, except maybe with more blueish instead of black.kamakazie said:
Greets, I've had this game stuck in my head for years since I played it at a store demo as a kid ages ago. All I remember is that it was a multiplayer game for either for the Dreamcast, N64 or PS1 not sure which platform it was exactly, the goal was the fight the other players which could be your friends or AI and you were all in this giant room and at any moment a player can find a special pad on a wall that will flip the whole room as well as shift gravity around knocking the other players down but allowing you to step on the new "floor" which could give you an advantage.
I just bought a bunch of old consoles recently and have been searching furiously for this title, unfortunately it seems to be lost to google.

Hello again, I'm looking for the name of an nes rpg where you play as a wizard, I have not played this game in about 10 years so I might not give the best description. Anyway like I said you play as a wizard, (the point of view is birds eye) you are exploring a dungeon full of traps (in fact in the first room of the first level if you stand on one of the cracked floors for a few seconds, a plant monster will come out of cracked floor and eat you), orcs, and likely other things but if you haven't figured it out yet I have never beaten the first level of this game as a kid. your character (when you press a button) can shoot a magical bolt out of his staff, but I'm presuming if is for solving puzzles because from what I remember if you try shooting orcs with it, the bolts don't seem to do nothing, which brings us to combat, the way it works from what I recall is that you have to walk into an enemy in order to start a battle. once this happens you and the enemy are brought to the battle screen, how to fight the enemy I'm not to sure to be honest but I'm presuming you have to press buttons in a certain order or with good timing. if anyone can tell me the name of this game, or post pictures/videos of it I would be grateful.
That game remainds me little bit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-aSztV1QLo. Maybe this game, which I want is running on other platforms like Commodore 64 or Amiga 500, but I've played on PC. There are screens from game (what I remember):Horvath said:
Looking for a racing game that I used to play as a kid. Most likely early/mids 2000s. It was on the PC and had many different environments. The first level was a pirate dock area with a cave, there was a level on the moon, a level in egypt, a level around a medieval castle, one through a magical forest, one in an area of all ice, a level in the jungle, and one where you entered a cave that looked like the face of a skeleton. The last level was the one I remember the most because it was set in a futuristic lab/base and had a bunch of teleporters. This has been killing me all day trying to think of the name and hours of google searches have brought me nowhere.
Hey everyone, I don't know if anyone knows the game, but I will try to explain it. So here it is:
You play as an astronaut and there are 4 of you. First you start in a spaceship with 2 or 4 machine guns on the sides and after about 30 seconds or a minute, you land on the ground which is all in dirt/sand and robots attack you. Your weapon is automatic gun or something like that. I know that there are 2 girls and 2 guys (not sure). I played it around 2007 or 2008. Please respond if you know what game it is. Thank you!
I am also looking for a mobile game, again I don't know the name, basically the game involves you as a big robot and then you go and jump and kill enemies. I remember it's a platformer, played it on Nokia 6600 or something like that. The Robot is red/yellow/blue/green kinda.

I used to play this game probably about 8-10 years ago, and forgotten about it since. All I remember about it is that you control a character in this overworld, and there was this one underground section of the game with train tracks or something that would electrocute you and take 1 Heath point away per second. While that was happening the character would be shouting because of the pain from the electrocution.
It had to be either PS1,PS2 or Xbox I believe

You had to look through various places in order to find twelve vessels and their tops in order to imprizon some (I think so) spirits.You had to solve puzzles and riddles in order to find the vessels!!! It also had to do with the elements of fire,water and air. You lost some of your soul at some points ... It had old graphics and I've never had tha chance to complete this game so it means a lot to me if someone can help me find it again..
Thank you for your help...I hope someone in here will remember tha name of the game...!!!!

Hello, everyone!
I tried to search some kind of turn-based strategy game I used to play back in about 15 ~ 20 years ago but I can't quite catch its name! I'm not sure that about 600+ pages have mentioned this one or not but I had hard time searching it until now.
Here is the description.
It is PS1 game, JP developer I guess, 3D engine, Mixed a little with western cowboy culture, Robotic theme which some of them can transform into formula car alike(not The Transformer thing), turn-based strategy genre, Graphic is polygon without much of shading but it is ok as far as I can remember.
On very first mission you start off with some folks that already had nice looking robot height about 2 story tall, some are transform from car into robotic state some are transform into car and get right into action where they escort some kind of supply truck that tailing along each other between 2 cliff. They're around 4 - 6 protagonist one is set-up sniper on a cliff that unable to move but can targeting enemy far as hell - pin point precision and shoot like an anti-material round, one is like brawler that has switch axe smash out from its arm, one is gunner with lever-action rifle alike and take a shot while moving. They're like guardian that they shoot down bad guy robot as they entering the scene.
The game play is like many same popular in genre. The turn switch between you and enemy but this game take every action as "pre-motion" as you ordering you unit to move or take any action but non of them happen right away, you set up every pre-motion to every unit they end turn to switch them for enemy which this game not shown how enemy make their real-time-movement but just cut right into action scene where some of your unit might get intercept by the enemy units, our units maybe counter-attack right away, some may just swat them aside with melee combat/weapon butt as they move on to position they ordered, some may get bump or intercepted and stop right after.
Every result may show after action scene, to see how enemy made their move and how our units get their finalize situation.
This game is really cool and fun to play but also hard as hell, pretty hard enough to frustrate you or me sometime as my play and pre-motion order didn't work out so well but I still can get enough of their action scene. Sometime if unit shoot down an enemy, especially lever-action rifle - must enemy explode in that shot they'll take reload action afterward where they swing its slug out like a bad-ass cowboy (I'm sure if they can blow-a-smoke, they'll do too but no, they're robot tho XD).
I know its a long-ass description but I can only hope some of your memory can tell them for me, if someone can recall please tell me its name! Thanks in advance!

Hello awesome people!
I'm really hoping someone could help me. Its a game in the 1980's or 1990's. I'm pretty sure its a DOS game for PC. I thought it was called Battlezone (but that was apparently a different game). What it is, is you start with a basic mech warrior like thing that you can customize. You can challenge NPC that are in a ladder system (it was a huge list I think you start off at like 500, or it seemed like it). If you win you get credits to buy new parts and you take their rank. If I remember you can set wagers or something while you challenge the npc like.... no missiles, or no moving.. or no lasers. The goal was to get in rank 1 on the ladder. There was alot of mechs you can buy with different guns and missile attachments and such. If anyone remembers this game, I would be very grateful!

Hello, I'm looking for a PS1 game, the only thing I remember is that the CGI intro was one of the most brutal for PS1 in where a woman rip in half another woman with her hands and other violent stuff is going on, is not Cardinal Syn but it has that type of CGI, I hope someone remeber the name because I been searching that game for a long time.
