Two games, I think both were for the Gamecube but I'm not certain.

One was a stealth game where you could take pictures of enemies with a camera, then you could jump into a dumpster and disguise yourself as whoever you'd taken a picture of.

The other was a sandbox zombie game where the basic enemies were called Gaunts and were weak against fire/light (Strongest weapon in the game was a flaregun), there was a four legged one called a Leaper that would jump off of buildings onto your car, tear the roof off, and then throw you out of it, and the city you were in was surrounded by a giant lake that has a massive tentacle monster in it, but the bridges have been blown out.

Round 2! An old PC game from the mid-nineties. You are a ship that flies around through a cave in at least one level. There's lava and enemy ships (the red ones shoot spread-shots I think) and keys and power-ups. There's also an annoying green ship that can steal your power-ups. Please, if anyone can help me, I'd really appreciate it.

Okay, I can barely remember anything from this game, but here goes...
It was a PC game, and I played a free trial..probably downloaded it from realarcade.
It was an adventure kind of game, with magical elements in it, I believe...you went through forests and collected gems..I remember playing it a long time ago, like in 2004 or 2005. You played as a boy and I remember there was a winter-ish feeling in some areas..Can't remember anything else at the moment though :/

Ok, there's this game that I played on Win 98 when I was 6 -7 in the mid-late 90s. (but looked like something that could have been developed in the 70s. I believe I played it on Win98, and it may have been a default game; but more likely from a disk that had 100 or so other arcane games on it.

It was 2d ofc.

Looking back on it now it I remember the guy you played as kind of looked like Mario, and the way to reach the next level was to jump into a diamond that was usually at the top. It was stupidly difficult, but that might have been because I was 7.

You had to constantly jump over cannon balls on each ledge that you climbed up, and to get to the next ledge there were ladder (I remember the balls fell down the ladders as well, and for some reason changed direction when they reached the bottom to go towards you).

I think you got 3 lives.

I remember thinking the dangerous floating pinkish spikes that disappeared when the cannonballs hit them were weird looking.

The background on every level was pitch black, and the only differences was the increase of pink spikes and cannonballs.

Here's a picture I drew : http://imgur.com/8TXhB

It looks a little bit like the game 'Chuckie Egg' in terms of layout and colour texture.

So it might have been a BBC micro platform game originally but idk..

Hey, I don't know if anybody remembers this game, but it was really fun ! I remember you could choose from a lot of characters, one I think had a chainsaw, one I know had a crossbow and a trench coat and one was a Jester (You could choose either a green or red outfit for him) and I remember the guy with the crossbow had a zombie storyline, or maybe it was the chainsaw guy, and then the Jester was in a graveyard. I also remember a girl, with akimbo handguns. I remember seeing the sequel to it on the back of a GameInformer magazine.If you could reply or send me an email at [email protected] or tweet me @iblackbeltXD that would be great :) thanks in advance

Can anyone help me find a game I can't find for few days now, it was like Age of Empires 3 (except its not)
Based in the same era, I think you could play in different eras of that time basically a few campaigns, English Related (American Civil War), The Conquestadors, and the Wild Wild West

One of the missions that I really enjoyed was in the wild west part where some big boss asked you to build a railroad between the cities ( your's and allies ) and you're constantly attacked by Indians ( as well a playble race with a campaign) You had workers and the railroad template and obviously different kinds of pistol/rifle weilding cowboys..

Basically all I could tell you about the game really :|

I'm hoping someone here can help me ID a game from my memory. I can't really remember the title, but I feel like someone else out there has to remember the game.

It was a classic point-and-click game [similar to Pajama Sam or Freddi Fish] that was based around a kid attempting to escape a nightmare he was trapped within. It had some pretty creepy stuff for a kids game, but it definitely was entirely kid-friendly.

The idea is that there were three main entities in the nightmare, each of which you had areas to overcome before you could wake up.

If anyone can help me ID this PC game from the 90's, I'd be much appreciative.

this is driving me nuts but i remember this one game i had on the pc where the main character is a bug, i think a woodlouse? and you can roll into a ball and hit other bugs and stuff. i can barely remember what the goals of the game were but i think you had to collect coloured keys? and they opened doors or cages or something that lead you to different areas.

i vividly remember the title screen though there was some branches and the bug you played as was standing in the middle of the screen

man this is so vague....
Bugdom 1 by Pangea! :D

(Long ways back, pg. 133... but I had to post, I loved Bugdom!)

I am SO glad a forum like this exists, because I have a game I just cannot remember either!
ok so I'll try and describe what I remember, cuz it is from when I realy young.

it was a PC game, kind of a puzzle game I believe, you had to like find some items to use them somewhere later, stuf like that.
and it was kind of creepy looking, I remember a part where you had to squish a bunch of bugs in a limited time, or when you were in some kind of kitchen and there was rotting flesh hanging on the wall and the kitchen was like all dirsy and messy.
I also remember you were on a boat at one point, and there was like a little game where you had to shoot a piece of soap in a bucket I believe and it was friggin haaaard.
I also remember something with colours you had to mix I think to make something..... I dunno.
oh and one pointless but funny thing I remember too (atleast I tought it was funny when I was a kid) was like, there were 3 sort of pots, and when you clicked them they started to sing.
man its SO long ago, I barely remember it, but I realy want to know the name of this game.
it would be so cool if someone could help me out here. :)

The first game Im looking for was for PC and it had of been a 90's game. It was 3d and all I remember is you were in like a small boat and you sailed down (I think it was the amazon river) and you could fish and shit.

Second game was like I THINK a transformers game and you could like drive around in like a city and I think you could jump worlds (Not so sure) but You did things around the city I believe. It was either a N64 game or a ps1 game not so sure. I know that this is a rather vague description but I'll add more later if I remember

Last game was either ps1 or N64 and it was a racing game. The cars could talk and had eyes though not so sure about the eye part. And the tracks were rather trippy and what not. Cant remember much else about it.
So if any of you remember any of these. I give you so much love it be illegal

The last game was for PC and It was like the Civ's games you built your nation and fought others. I remember the cover of the game had a whole bunch of bronze/copper gears and that I believe was made by Windows or something, this was like back in the 2000's

psychonauts might be it, you can get it from GOG if this is the game you were speaking about.

So this is my first visit to these forums, scouring the web for some help, hope someone here can help!

There's a DOS based PC game I used to play. The premise was close to what Civilization is now, but based in Medieval Times. There were "7 kingdoms" any of which could be controlled by computer or human. These 7 kingdoms were given 7 "precious" items that scattered the globe, and to win the game you either had to be the first to gather all 7 or wipe out all the opponents.

It was turn based, on each turn you had to manage your kingdom and deploy troops if you had any. You had a "science officer" where you discussed what scientists would work on. Like the advancement of weaponry for your army, and each research took a certain amount of turns to discover.

I know it's tough pickins but if anyone out there has a clue, that would be awesome.

That's likely Descent 2.
