Alright, so there's this PC game from the 90s that I used to play alot. It was sci-fic and I believe it was a "vertical shooter" since I remember the screen scrolling vertically and you're looking at the ship as if you were above it. All I remember clearly from the game was that it could be played as Single Player or a Two Player, and if you beat the game the first time around the ship for first player would turn into a carrot and you fire stuff that looked like bananas. There were power-ups, I believe, and there was this level that had... tree dragons? Each level had two acts I think (kinda like some Sonic the Hedgehog games) and at the end of the second act you fight a boss. I hope that someone can help me find it.

Tyrian (one of my favourite shooters of all time)

Even better it is now been released for free at the OpenTyrian project.

theres two games i played when i was real little like 1994+ on pc
1. was real "girly" i guess you could say you went thru the world and did all these activities the one i remember was set in like this little town looked like something you'd see from a movie with kings and queens and such and you could make cupcakes for one of the activities for some fair or something

the second was kind of a learning game again a little bit "girly" the one part you'd go to the beach in a station wagon and there was this crab that would talk to you and he'd tell you to get what you'd need for the beach out of the back of the car and youd have to pick like a towel and umbrella buckets and stuff and while at the beach you could build a sand castle and stuff with this little hermit crab dude

i know super vague but i was like 4 yrs old

i have a not so old game which i played on the original x-box, i cant remember the name but it was a platformer where you played as a tribal with a horned helmet, kinda like the one the dragon born has but made of leather, he was a small little boy who lost his father in the beginning, and he had to go save him.

the first level was kinda like a canyon, and then the second world was a robotic place filled with robots. and the boss in the first world was the grim reaper, no idea if he was called that but he certainly looked like the grim reaper.

that's all i remember of the game, i thought it was tak and the power of juju at first but it turned out to not be that.

thanks in advance.

The second one sounds kinda like Microsoft Scolastic The Magic School Bus: Explores the Ocean.

there was a strategy game i used to play, it was kinda futuristic
there was only one type of resource, gathered by truck-like-harvest machines
the resource was some sort of plan that grew in a circle radius
and i only remember some units, like a motorcycle, or a car (looked a lot like a racing car, but small, like 1 seated)
and some non offensive troops that could take over enemy buildings
and a larger human (sort of cyborg) with one arm as a shooting device

I remember this one game, i have been looking for months and just cant seem to remember the name of it...

It was a flash game and what you would have to do is click on a part of the car and it would blow up... then there is targets in the air and you would try and hit the targets in one go. I remember it looking like a halo car on a beach or something but if not im not sure :p link to a youtube vid or something would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Not sure but could this be Dune? if not maybe Command & Conquer although the resources are not in circles

Can someone please help me? :'c

I've been searching a lot... for this game I played maybe between 2000-2007 and I really can't find it... and I really want to...
I think it is a platform game that has 3 characters a fighter(?), a mage and an archer i think... I'm sure it has a mage though... I played with him. In the beginning we were in a forest and there was a shop on a tree (i guess) and the mage was little and wore blue clothes and hat and after the forest as the game goes on we are in a dungeon i guess with bats (they're enemies), and there's water and I think we have to catch gems and all that. I think the game really resembles Trine but the image is different. I've searched everywhere pls help me :)

PS: I was little so I think me and my uncle used to call the game of the dwarfs or something like that because they were little or something... Oh!! and the game as a very soft music i think and beautiful lights~

Another game I vaguely remember playing back in the early 90s (sadly, the information isn't much, so I don't have much hope of finding it). It was on Windows 95.

From what I recall, you played a guy with a dog, and I remember having to move from a building to - I *think* - a freight train and running across the top. I thought it was some kind of Tintin game, but when I looked it up, it wasn't. The graphics were pretty simple (I remember very colourful), and I'm pretty sure you needed to find something.

Thanks but I don't think this was its name, I'm pretty sure it had a futuristic setting, somewhere on a ship or something, it had room of metal and gates that required keys, the atmosphere was gloomy not colorful and you didn't have spells, just guns, this was the reason why I liked it so much, It was like ut2004 or something, lots lots of guns like 10 or something and every gun was different but I can't remember anything besides the fact that they were plasma guns or laser guns, I think one of them shot lightning as well? The game you mentioned does look nice, almost made me feel bad I didn't play it, it's similar to my game but I'm pretty sure it's not it.
That sounds like it could be the PC game Abuse, but the 'PS1' part doesn't fit. Still, that would be my best guess.

there has been a game i have been dying to remember but cannot! i'm pretty sure it was a series, because i remember picking out the "new" ones at the computer game store. so it's for pc in the 90s. aimed to preschoolers. i dont think there was any plot except to make the center statue in the main menu that looked like a city colored by completing very basic tasks. i remember there was a recycling part where you have to correctly recycle certain objects. or later at the "circus" there is an elephant card game i think? at another point you got to make a terrarium for a lizard and change dirt types and lizard types. any ideas would be helpful, thanks!

Hi. I am looking for an arcade game, that my wife played as a kid. I thing it was s fixed shooter. She remembers fighting Dracula-like boss, which shoot eggs that hatched bats if not destroyed quickly. There was also a bonus stage that seemed to have place in heaven, there were three clouds and player was ment to jump from one to another and catch prizes falling down from above.

about year 1995 there was a game i used to play in playstation console. thr main character has red hair and thr gameplay is like super mario bros where you have to step on the enemy to kill them.

along the road you can get egg that will follow you around and you can collect up to three. those egg can help to step the enemy. but if you knocked by the enemy, the eggs will be scattered and you have to chase them around or they could die fall of the cliff or something.

besides that you need to collect the stars too. at the end of the level, the stars can be shared to the eggs and when they have get enough stars, they can hatch to some animals depend on the egg colors.

i remember there is a boss level with tractor form. the graphic is in 2D. and you just walk horizontally like super mario bros or megaman. does anyone know the title please?i

Hello, I'm hoping someone on here can help me. I've been thinking about this game for a while but I don't remember what it's called or what console it was on (I'm thinking Snes, PS1 or PS2) The only thing I remember about this game is that the main character used a gun (I think) and when you got a new one you could use the old one to upgrade the new one to make it stronger and/or more features (I believe you could also find parts around the world as well). Also I remember a side quest involving collecting insects (maybe just Beetles) and some were stronger than others to use in Fights against other computer opponents insects/Beetles...Sorry, I know this isn't much help, I know it's not very old (made in the last 10 years) I appreciate any help.

Could it be Gauntlet Dark Legacy or Guantlet Seven Sorrows?
