Hello

I'm trying to think of a game from the early 2000s I think? It was for ps2.

Basically you play as some kind of (possibly anthropomorphic) canine if I remember, going around rescuing other animals. I do recall a moment where you had to use a giant mech to combat enemies.

My brain isn't making something up is it? I'm sorry for the vagueness. The details escaped me as it's been a very very long time since I played it.
According to Moby Games there were three PS2 games staring dogs: Dog's Life, Wallace & Gromit in Project Zoo, and Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit. It might also be Tail Concerto, thought that was a PS1 game.

Hey all, I've been having issues trying to work out what this game was that I played years ago on my old 486. - I played this in the mid to late 90's, but the game could have been older.

Any ideas? I've been banging my head against google Image results for a while now with no luck.
Forced Alliance: The Glarious Mandate (1997)?
Cutscenes match, and what you drew closely resembles the first starbase, but not the ship that the player is flying.

Might not the one you're looking for, but thought I'd mention it anyway. Since it's so obscure. ...I remember it being pretty epic once you got past the hellish difficulty of the first missions.
Unfortunately, that's not it.
Going by the screenshots of that one, those graphics look far better than the one I'm thinking of.

After sleeping a bit, I remembered a bit more of how the ship looked, (And I worked out why I was a little unsure of its shape)

In the cutscenes, the ship (One-man fighter sised) was always smooth and oval shaped.
In the gameplay, it was very angular. (Obviously, because computers back then couldn't do a round ship)

I've hand-drawn a few sketches of the ship, with some notes attached. (my handwriting is crap)
https://goo.gl/photos/LFzWvNLepcTMZiZt5
I remember that the Engine Exhaust, at the centre of the rear end, had a red glow, and what I assume is the engine intake also had a red glow about it.
I think it also had a retractable landing gear, (One in front, two in rear, Struts, not wheels)
Maybe it's "Inferno" (1994) then. It did have a pilot with orange gear and huge boots.
The fighter did have wheels though. But just give it a look.
YEP!
That's the one! Inferno: The Odyssey Continues.
Wow, some of my memories must have degraded over the years. (I could have swarn the ship was white, but now i'm looking at the vids on YT, it was obviously Gold. and yeah, Wheels, not struts. (For some reason my old memory was telling me it's landing gear was similar to the Planet Express Ship) - At least i got the rough sketch of the ship shape correct. :p
( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQd3gWgEN2g )
Also, mine didn't have any voices, but that video does. I'm guessing my old 1993 sound card only had Midi.
But yeah, in that video, i had all those animations. - and the music, holy hell that brings back memories. Looks like i'l be setting up DosBox again. :)

there a game i used to watch very much like phoenix wright but i can't recall its name at all, all i can recall is it was investigation game, and when you win a case instead of getting " unguilty " you get " justified " i can't recall anything else because i used to watch it's walk through alongside phoenix wright game, so i can't recall anything else about it
Check out the "Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney" series, which practically is a sequel to the Wright games. Haven't played them myself yet, but it sounds fitting.
nope i am already watching the whole ace attorney games collection through a walkthrough from the first trilogy to apollo justice to edgeworth investigations and so on, the game i'm talking about i used to watch it alongside the first trilogy and it didn't relate to ace attorney games but another type of games that i can't just recall. i believe the game was just like ace attorney with investigations but it wasn't professor layton... it had some kind of a cartoonish look can't recall much other than them shouting objection and hold it, and once you're done you get the verdict " justified " instead of " unguilty "

Not sure with the catchphrase(s) but aside from that, it seems like the game Hotel Dusk Room 215

Old game, camera from top I think, you are a guy in a white coat or just white clothes you start the game on a beach and a bit after start you find a flashlight on the beach and when you pick it up the character says like "wow" or "oooh". There might've been a black hand on the bottom left corner, I don't remember wht exactly you used it for, maybe for walking or picking stuff up.

Hello guys,
There was a game I used to play (Made in around may be 2000-2005). Game was really like The Incredible Machines. There was a creature sitting on a rocket or some sort of car (it was purple if Im not mistaken). And goal was helping that creature or wierd guy to get to finish line from starting point.
Hope someone know what this is :)

I know this is a long shot considering what I'm asking, but if anybody by any chance, remember the name of a Chinese monopoly game for PS1, I would be deeply grateful :D

Was wondering if anyone could help me out with this game I can't seem to remember the name of...

It was a browser based game from late 90s, early 2000s.
It was a Space Trading game, from memory, it didn't have combat. You just went to planet A, buy stuff, got to planet B, sell stuff from A for a profit.
The website was a Blueish-Gray, it had not UI really, it was all done via Text, with a few images of the planets.

I kinda feel the game isn't around anymore, but this has been in my head for a month or two trying to work out what it was called... and if it was still around.

Must be a game inspired from Star Trader/ Trade Wars/ Dope Wars/ Pimp Wars

Hello my friends, I hope that game is a easy one for you. I cant remember and gonna be mad because of that game...

Its like fallot 3 but older and sword, bow type. (Not skyrim by the way) Starts at a jail, some earthqueke and you are out. Kill some guardian or so, and yeap, you are free at the world. You can catch, cook and eat chicken. Talk with npc and if you pick the wrong answers he/she act diffirent. I know sounds like fallout but its not. Same camera vision. Place is like... Like you are in braveheart movie, you know. It should be 1997-2003, and may start with "F".

Sorry if the language is bad, thanks for reading and answers.. ^^
