Ok let's see

PS1 Game - probably asian developer or/and publisher
Fighting style game ,you had a wide array of characters to choose from but it wasn't the conventional fighting style game you knew , it was a rather fast paced game on which the characters were fighting from afar(although you could get close) mostly with projectile "powers" coming out of their hands (like kame-hame-ha / ha-douken) that kind of thing. each character had a unique "special".

The fighting was happening into some sort of arena without having that arena feel,(example:a field with some rocks or something).Positioning was important as well since you could actually take cover behind objects.

The camera angle was like Sky/side-diagonal(at least how i remember it) and since none of the maps were nowhere near big the camera was also rather stationary most of the time.And perhaps i am wrong on this but on multiplayer
the screens didn't really split

Thanks in advance

Hey guys hope you can help me out a bit :)
The game was for PS1 but I only played it as a demo

It's a mech game, where you're piloting a mech looking somewhat like a spider. I do believe it was 3rd person shooter. All I can remember was climbing around on houses and walls and blasting off the enemies.

Hey buddy was it maybe this Future cop LAPD [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IrI-AoBcr9o]

You (the player) played as some sort of creature that looked like a lemming (from the game, not the animal), if I remember correctly.
The Adventures Of Lomax was a platformer spinoff from the lemmings series.

Okay, sorry if this has already been found but here I go:
It's a top down style game, you're a dude with red hair.
In the demo, you fight a wizard in a kinda futuristic building (In the real game you fight a giant robot).
At the start of the game, you're in a fantasy esque land and you walk across some bridge and talk to a wizard guy.
If I remember correctly, on the demo disk one of the other games was an egyptian-themed game.

If someone can get that... wow haha

Alright it's an early nineties platformer, all I remember from this video game is one image from the intro scene which was two characters (anthropomorphic animals I think) in a red (probably) sports car driving away on a road overlooking the ocean like this [http://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/02123/Great-Ocean-Road_2123139b.jpg]. The following recollections are super vague and tentative the red car is all I remember clearly. Gameplay-wise it was a fairly standard sidescroller with you collecting things and whatnot, although importantly I think you could replay levels in different modes (not sure how to put that, I think it was the same map but with different music/background scenery, like everything went dark and rainy) normal mode and evil/dark mode. I think one of the scary enemies in the dark mode was a big dog. I keep thinking Sonic and collecting rings but I've looked through all the Sonic games and none of them look right. I would have played this on the PC in the early noughties but it was probably a lateish nineties game from my memory of the graphics. Along with rewatching the opening scene (finally) the other thing that attracts me to this memory is the dual worlds thing which I remember being very atmospheric. Could have just been two different levels but I remember something cleverer going on.

Hey does anyone know what the name of a game where you play as a tiny thin robot and wander through a robot junkyard and try to find parts. Then, you walk towards a robot castle heavily guarded and you have to find a secret way in? the art of the game was gloomy and hand drawn. Also, i remember playing on a site called bigfishgames.com

Hello all, there was this really old pc game that i had on a 99 games in one cd,
Basically it was a color platformer in which you where a green alien that crashed his ship (i believe his name was gizmo?) it featured some very creative art style, as well as the iconic motherboard sound effects. most likely from the 90's.
Did the alien have suction cup hands? I can't remember the name of that game! Dangit!!!
Yes he did!!! I want to know what it was *pout*

WAIT WAIT! I FOUND IT! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmo's_Cosmic_Adventure
Cosmo's Cosmic Adventure... one of those classics like Hocus Pocus :D

Ok,

This game i've been thinking about is about 16 years old or so, i believe it was on PS1. It started out as a boy in a town topdown zelda style. eventually you are given a pet monster and told to head off into the dungeon that was above the town. inside you battled monsters to find eggs? with these eggs you could raise and hatch them to find rarer monsters with better stats and properties (like earth wind fire etc) the gameplay was fantastic! kind of had the same feel of diablo when you find a rare item.

Really cant remember the name I know that the cover of the jewelled case was blueish.

The names on the tip of my tongue. My best friend and I spent an entire summer playing it.

Ok... this is a tough one.
Its a tank game from the 90s.
Its a turn game, where you could choose through different types of ammunition, move your tank around the map to get a better shot, buy new ammunition, etc. You could play it with up to 4 people if i remember correctly...! Oh... and each type of ammunition had a different type of visual effect... I think it was a 3d game, but i'm not sure of it.

Before you said 3D i guessed at "Pocket tanks" or "Scorched Earth",
However the only 3D tank game i can think of from the 90's was Recoil, but I'm sure that didn't have multiplayer

Hi,
What was the name of a very famous game where a monkey collects coins and it has to fight with enemies on its way?
When you say "very famous", I'm thinking one of the Donkey Kong games. However, the coin part threw me off a little bit, as Donkey Kong mostly collects bananas. In the newer ones there ARE such things as banana coins.

---Side Scrollers---

Donkey Kong Country (SNES) - No Banana Coins
Donkey Kong Country 2 (SNES) - Has Banana Coins
Donkey Kong Country 3 (SNES) - Has Banana Coins
Donkey Kong Country Returns (Wii) - Has Banana Coins

---3D---

Donkey Kong 64 (N64) - Pretty sure it has Banana Coins, too
Could also be Donkey Kong Land depending on what console you played on. DK Land you had to collect giant DK coins.

so, i remember a guy with grey\blue hair that was exploring all kind of diffrenet maps. like, i remember the the first stage was in a forest and the first "boss" was a giant mushroom. in order to finish each stage, u had to use stuff that u found on the map. like - u could "take" the walking bombs and throw them at objects or enemies. i also remember that the main charcter was a mouse , and that 1 stage was underwater and 1 was even in a pyramid. sometimes, there were bonus stages to get stars. it was 2D . one enemy i remember was a little man that u had to jump on top of him in order to kill him. towards the end of the game, they turned into robots. i really cant remember this game's name! somthing with S i think
