Hi,
I hope someone can help me out with an old arcade game from the 80s. During lunch we often visited this convenience store to play this _platformer_ but I can't remember the name.

The protagonist was a young dude, I think he was a ninja (no mask) but I'm not sure. The game starts out as follows: He is riding a motorbike going to the right. Then he shoots out a fireball of some sort and it flies very fast. The camera follows the fireball and it hits some entrance to a bunker which destroys it. Immediately out comes a group of soldiers. The game then zips back to the left to our hero. He is no longer on the motorbike but on foot. From here he battles his way to the entrance. I think it was only punches and kicks.

The first boss was tall and in some sort of armor. Soon after you reach him he tosses his cape behind him. That's basically all I remember.

Does any of that ring a bell with anyone? I do remember someone showing me this game on the MAME emulator many years ago. Alas, I don't remember the name!

Please and thank you!
Mark

Hello, I am new to this page, so I'll make it quick.
I remember playing a game about 7-10 years ago, in my dad's computer. Back then I was about 6-9 years old. In this game, which I believe was online, was about two friends/animals, which had adventures. The only scenario I recall from this game had to do with snow, and in a certain part you were a polar bear who had to run from a big rock. It wasn't a long game, definitely less than 30 minutes, but I have tried to find it for many years, and I still can't. If anyone knows something about this game or finds it, please let me know. I will be more than thankful. Any questions, I'll answer them. Thanks in advanced.
PS: I am not a native English speaker, please forgive my spelling mistakes :)

Is this an arcade game or home system?

Initially it sounded a bit like Toe Jam and Earl for the Sega Genesis.

I am searching a horror game that I saw a clip/trailer of on a youtube livesteam, but don't know the name of it. From what I remember from the video, the game seem to look a bit outdated like the graphics could had been from a old PC or PS2 game. It shows a blonde hair woman in a white sweater, searching for a missing sister, and at the end of video was a creature leaving from a small cabin.

Sorry for not giving much details but that is all I remember. :(

It's not that old, but maybe Until Dawn [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LB4t6e2wETo]?

I remember playing a game on my old computer where you were in a anime kind of world, and you fought monsters. I remember that all the monsters were bright colours and it was a MMO game.
You had to complete quests and such. I feel like I remember the game starting with a "D" and a girl standing on the cover with monsters in the back. It was on an ad on a site I was on a long while ago, but I just can't remember the name of it.
Does anyone happen to know it? :)
The only one that comes to mind is Dofus, which is related to another MMO, Wakfu.

Guys, please, I am searching for this game for a lot of time but I cannot find it, it is old, shooter (as far as I can tell, I as 10-12 yo) and you fought something with a team, after you play a little the character you were playing dies, and so, your spirit can now possess the others from the team, anyone have an Ideea? I played it on PC, and I am not sure if this is from this game but I think in that team was a girl using a katana and pistol (dual wielding them in the same time)
Pretty sure that's Clive Barker's Jericho [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vj6TsKQHS0c]. =)
Thank you so much!! <3

Hello peps!
First of all, I want to thank all the creators and owners of the website and all the developers who are working 200% to ensure we could enjoy this site to the fullest! :)

Let's start our quest of discovering the game xD


I played it back in '07 on Windows '98 if I remember correctly. It was on cd with lots of other games like Monkey Island, Doom and so. Game was something like RPG, action-adventure game (left mouse click was action engagement like walking, interraction and so) where you start with a character (I think it was some kind of a wizard or some fighter?) in a dark room. Your goal is to find the key and leave the house.You can freely explore some tunnel-ish areas in the house but eventually you are going out. Outside map (had lots of trees) is big and you can freely explore. Map is covered in black fog which cleares once you cross the area. I think first few monsters you encounter are some kind of rats/spiders which you battle when you step on them and fight sequence is loaded. If I remember correctly, fight is somehow turn-based....and monsters can kill you pretty easy (Haven't gotten much farther so dunno how it is later). Not sure what else to mention, screen wasnt cartoonish, pixelated character but more like normal, dont know how to explain...
I am sorry if it doesnt make sense, but I have exact picture of the game in my head, but dont know what else to say. If I get some information I will post them here. I wish to play this game again.

Hey guys, so remember this game i think it was in the 90s, i dont remember if it was for the playstation or an arcade game for NEO GEO.
I only remember you starting out as a little purple demon, possibly blue it had big ears and i think little wings, and you start out with a water fountain in front of you,
and up further there is a mansion and i think it was haunted, it had monsters insdie and puzzle you had to go through. I remember
going in through the door to the left on the second floor you go in and there was no floor, the tiles were all over the place and you had to jump on them to go though. in that room there was also a flying monster like a clown shaped like a ball. the whole game was dark and eerie looking but really fun, and i did look into Ao Oni and its not it.

Hello. I'm looking for a game. It was a Windows game with 2D side view.
It looks something like this: https://imgur.com/ULxfWTR

The game itself is very simple. It was a game that only destroying white spheres looks like jellyfish appeared from the right side of the screen. The more catch, the more pop out. There was one bug that I remembered. If you go forward with a shot, the more and more balls appeared tremendeously. Sorry but I don't know the release date. I played it 20 years ago. Thank you.

Hey guys!

I am looking for a game that I played a long time ago. It was called "Block Ball" or something like that but I can't seem to find it.
The game was about rolling a ball around the level searching for keys and getting to the exit. The ball itself was orange with two black stripes it left a red trail behind it. The ball could also roll on some walls if I remember correctly.

Thanks in advance! :D

Hello! I have a few games I was hoping someone might be able to help me find!
1. I was wondering about this one game I recall playing back in elementary school on the computer. It was one of those typing games, you know, the kinds used to trick kids into learning how to type (lol). It had a variety of typing minigames, unfortunately I can only really recall one off the top of my head. It was a game where you had to type these words and to clear sand off of Santa's time machine (don't even ask, it was bizarre.) I remember having a lot of fun with it.
2. It's another computer game, I think it was one of the Reader Rabbits but I can't remember which. I've tried searching for it but couldn't find it. It has several games you can play and involves winning tickets to use to get on a train or something. There were several animals, each with their own game. One of the games was a connect-the-dots, another was... cooking, maybe? Sorry, it's a very vague memory, I know. Also, I don't know if it's the same game or not but I remember a Reader Rabbit game (at least I think it was Reader Rabbit) in which you had a merry-go-round horse that stopped moving, it was turned to stone or something, and you had to find/put together the key that would unfreeze the horse.
3. I remember another computer game I really liked and thought was a lot of fun, it was this game with (again) several activities you could do. One was baking cookies, in which you mixed together the right number of each ingredient and then got to choose a cookie cutter and cut out the cookies and had to try cut out as many as you could. Some of the cookie cutter shapes were a gingerbread man, a star, etc. Then you could decorate the cookies, I think, with sprinkles and other stuff. There were other stuff involved, too, and a plotline about a kingdom or something that needed saving?
4. I remember this one game my brother played that scared the crap outta me as a kid. All I remember is in the opening scene(s) there were these two kids, a boy and a girl, and they were spying on some monsters or something in this abandoned house or whatever. But then, suddenly, one or both of the kids were grabbed from behind and kidnapped by one of the monsters and (presumably) you had to rescue them or escape (I can't remember if you played as the two kids or not.)
5. And lastly, I only very vaguely recall another game that scared the crap outta me as a kid, so much so I couldn't keep playing. It was rated M (don't ask) and it started off with your character as this mansion party or something? But then there was a cutscene showing how this mutagenic stuff or maybe it was a virus or something that got into the sewers and infected all the rats so their eyes glowed this creepy red and I guess turned violent, biting people and spreading the disease(?) Next thing you know, something happens and there's a huge whole in the floor of the mansion and everything is chaos with a bunch of people dying. If anyone could tell me the name of any of these games, I'd be eternally grateful!

I'd imagine the 5th one is Parasite Eve [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ExyxNT3erUk].

I might have some ideas about the 4th game. Around what year was it when your brother played it?
