Dear great gamers out there,
please help me recall this game, it was MS-DOS era. around 1992 - 1995 I guess.
i remember playing it on an Intel 486 computer. and using floppy disks to get the master copy, after that you just need to run the executables.
the game situated as follows:
- its an isometric view. Using sprites.
- You played / act as commander of a space station. that the corridors shaped like a white tube.
- you as the commander bring a laser gun, which have unlimited ammo.
- the space station itself is quite big, have higher and lower levels, you have lift and some kind of travellator to fast travel.
- the shape of the space station is like a horizontal number eight.
- you only have 3 livess / 3 chances as the commander.
- you could create robots, with yellow and red color, that can shoot lasers. The robots move with tracks / not legs.
- the robots could be assigned to individual section and will patrol inside it.
- the enemy will come as green alien slimes. and will attack the robots.
- without the robots the alien slime will sort of destablize the space station, thus it explodes and game over.
- you csn kill the slimes with the laser gun, leaving something like corpses / residues.
- you can produce blue robots which act like a cleaner, sucking thoses dead alien slimes.
- if you are killed, your body will be infested with those alien slimes, then rise as a zombified alien slimes that is very dangereous and hard to kill.
- sometimes, the space station will get unstable, you will need to go to panels, and then go to some kind of mini game.
- you need to move up and down some paramaters, there are 2 big screen in the right and left. you keep moving that until the lines get straight or something like that, indicating its safe now.
- if you die 3 times, no body left as the commander. its game over.
I wanted to know what's the game name, just curious whether it can be finished in some way.

That almost looks like the game, still a really good find tho.Nidor said:Thanks, that should narrow it down quite a bit for anyone's future guesses.Tommy Pleau said:
Eureka 7: New Wave or New Vision might be the closest match I've found so far. Can't find too many details about the gameplay yet, but the screenshots show third person, mechs about that size, on foot gameplay, though i am unsure if it is scripted events or a gameplay mechanic, and it is on PS2. I don't know if there is character select, though it does seem to have multiple characters on your team, each with their own mech. Not sure about the multiplayer part though.
But the game wasnt just a robot vs robot kind of game. you usually had to traverse a level and beat up some enemies that appeared till you reached a boss room, and from the looks of the gameplays i saw. that game doesnt let you freely exit out of your mech and back in it whenever. and the graphics were just a tad colourfull.
Conflict Desert Storm?Keys said:Hello
Im looking for a game I played on my Ps2. It was on a demo disc and there was this shooter where u started in a kinda canyon as a soldier. The objective was to rescue another soldier who was held hostage and bring him back to the spawn. After securing the hostage you could switch between them. One of them had a sniper.
I hope someone knows the game, because I`ve been searching for it for a long time now.
I used to play a breakout type game on my computer back in 1996 - 2000 that was on a Windows computer. It was one player and only computer. It had some cool things that would happen when you hit certain blocks including bonuses that would fall and also things tha t would fall and end your turn. I downloaded it on subsequent computers but could not find it again in the early 2000's. Any idea? I think the name was something like Mahjong but it was a breakout/pong game.
It's called Mole's Quest!! I've been looking for it for a long time and it's apparently available for iPhones and iPads, but here's a youtube video of it - to confirm it's the right game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kqUDLuLB9pQStephiiwonder said:

Guys, every now and then this game pops into my mind, and I spend hours trying to grab the slight remembrance of it's name, only to end up giving up. I've searched through giant lists of RPG games from wikipedia, through old game nostalgic sites, to new gaming sites and nada. Since google hasn't helped me a single bit, I surrender to the infinite knowledge of this community. I'll try to describe the best I can about this game:
- Old single player RPG, I believe runnning from a .exe on windows OS, and windowed (not fullscreen).
- It had something like the mechanic of pokemon, monster battle probability when you walk, and dozens of different monsters.
- The farther you were from the starter point, the more difficult and high level monsters were.
- when battle started, if you were on a beach the background was picture of a real world beach, if you were on a forest the back was a real world forest, static image. The monster was a moving image, but not animated.
- It had a magic system, like dark, holy, water or blue (don't really recall), when you i.e. used dark type magic, holy magic skill decreased, and every other opposing sphere of magic, pretty straightforward.
- It was freaking hard, and freaking awesome.

I think I am also looking for the same game! I cannot remember the name but I think the monsters were cartoon dinosaurs... I remember it had 'the ants go marching', 'yankie doodle', 'she'll be coming round the mountain', 'clementine', and 'I've been working on the rail road'. I also remember it had a really long song that was like a memory song and it started 'there was a tree, in the middle of the wood..' and in the last verse of 'old macdonald' had a picture of a big smelly cheese.pappana said:anyone knows this game?pappana said:
I would love to find this game but can't anywhere! I had it in yellow CD folder with 'Lenny's Music Tunes' and 'Our House' - possibly Yobi's spelling jungle too...
Maybe it was an emulator CD, so I'll try some yellow duck games, search on google images and see if it feels familiar.erionawesome said:
- Duck Hunt
- Charlie the Duck
- Gravity Duck
- Duck Game
besides that, there is a ton of looney tunes/disney games with ducks as main character. Try looking for super nes games like daffy duck, darkwing duck, going quackers or quackshot(personal favorite).
I don't know about ducks on the PS2, but Alien Hominid [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCu_n423eDs] was 2D with a yellow character. There was also a port Dynamite Headdy [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UOcscFjlqdo] that came with Gunstar Heroes and other games by Treasure.erionawesome said:
So I've remembered a few more details about the game. There was a puzzle where you had to line up tiles and one of them had a yellow duck on it. There were at least 4 different coloured tiles and each one had an object that was associated with that color like a yellow duck. You had to complete the puzzle to advance in the game. I seem to remember traveling to different parts of the globe and each different country looked like someone had taken a picture of some scenery and added a filter to it to make it all one color, ex. Yellow. I know it was for OC and from the 90s but I think it was very obscure ;-_-
I remembered a game where a guy used to beat the villains using KUNG FU attack. It was a black and white game and that's what I remembered.
