There's a game for the SNES I remember playing when I was a kid, where you play this teenage girl who is given super powers and can turn into this like almost sailor moon type character. I remember she had short brownish hair and it was a side scroller...I've been wanting to play it again for quite a while but can't for the life of me remember the name...>.< Please help.

Ok guys I need help drastically, I have been killing myself of this for about 4 years. I have been searching for a game I used to love and play all the time roughly 10-12 years ago. I don't have much to go on. If my memories sever right the main character is a girl with brown hair and I believe her weapon was a boomerang, your party does grow as the game goes on. I do remember one section of the plot, you go to a village at some point and all the villagers are turned to stone, also I believe the last boss is some sort of big master computer or something along those lines. It has a Zelda RPG sorta feel with something like a Final Fantasy fighting style. I played this game on the PC but it may have been emulated so I don't know if it is for sure a PC game. I think the name may have ended in saga but I'm not sure on that. Any help you can give me on this would help me greatly. Thanks!

This is a long shot, but could it have been an emulated version of Shining Force 2? The party leader in that is a female with a boomerang weapon.

Or maybe Skies of Arcadia?

The petrified village bit doesn't ring a bell, but then again I never played wither of those two games to completion...

Shining Force has the same generally look but that's not the one I'm looking for, thanks though. I really appreciate the try.

I used to play this game, I don't remember any of the plot, but it was 2d, side scrolling, and everything was fairly detailed, almost along the lines of castlevania. Im almost sure it was set in a fantasy world.

Anyway, the character you control is a buff blond guy who runs around half naked. I think he carried a sword and killed flying things. He may or may not have also shot fireballs.

One image from the game that is seared into my mind is the beginning of one of levels. He's standing on top of a (vividly) green hill/mountain, in front of a stone door.

If anyone can help me find this game I used to play I will love you forever. Its been driving me up the wall for months.

Hey there, my pops had a Mame32 emulator with thousands of ROMs set up on a computer back when I was a kid. I distinctly remember a co-op game where you traveled up a tower fighting enemies with a wand that created rainbow bridges. The main boss was a pig like demon thing in armor. That's really all I remember.

It's not much to go on, but I've been going absolutely nutter butters over the name of it for years. I'm calling in blackup.

Hi i need help remembering a game i played on windows95, i got the game on a demo disc so could be difficult for anyone to remember.
Basically the object of the game was to send your army into neighbouring countries until you conquer every country.
Very vague description i know but as it was a long time ago im really having trouble remembering much about it (i was about 9 years old when i played it)

Thanks for taking the time to read my post.

Try looking up FreeCiv. If it was on windows 95, then the free XP port of it is definitely worth a look.

Ok there's this game that I thiiink was for PlayStation 1, but I'm not sure. Maybe PlayStation 2? It was 3D and fantasy. I think the first level there's a bunch of soldiers fighting and it's raining and dark outside and you're a guy with a sword. There's a castle in the background. The second level is like a swamp with I think it was flying jellyfish, and there was a mini boss at the end of that level. Then somewhere later in the game there's a level with a giant serpent-like badguy that you have to fight and he blows you back and you're on the side of a mountain and the serpent pokes it's head over the ledge. I think it was blue or white. Then there was a level where you're going down a mountain and there's goblin guys rolling boulders down from above. Then later another level somewhere after that you're in like a deserty place with a small deserted town.

That's about all I can remember. Some of these facts might not be exactly right, but the serpent boss I remember really well! Any help or ideas is appreciated!!!! Thanks!

Hey, I'd really like to find this game: I think it was very old, took place underwater.

Its 1997's Sub Culture.

YES! Thanks a lot

Okay, there was this game on the gamecube, an RPG, maybe a JRPG.
The character you played as had a backpack with a big robot arm and hand that you used to fight with.
There was this girl who followed you around, she never talked and she fought with a frying pan.
That's really all I remember.

Sounded exactly like a Dreamcast game I played, so I did a search and it turns out they did a version for Gamecube too. It's definitely Evolution Worlds:

..but it was 2d, side scrolling, and everything was fairly detailed, the character you control is a buff blond guy who runs around half naked...

As soon as I read "buff blond guy" I thought of the original Duke Nukem, (DN1 or DN2) it was a side scroller and there may have been some scenes that match your description.

I briefly played this game for maybe 15 minutes but it left an impression. It was an RPG, top-down view, not 3D. I think it was an early 90's game. A few details I remember was running around a town performing various tasks like baking bread. Later you could get a horse to speed up travel. Later I saw a friend playing and he was on horse drawn cart which gave him more storage space.

Edit: I played it on the PC but I don't know if it was available for other platforms.

Hello everyone,

I played a game when I was small (please excuse the really vague details) involving a male and female ninja duo. Possibly brother and sister. It was close 3rd person, and I don't think it's Tenchu.

It's either released on PS1/2 or original Xbox, I think it is Xbox.
It was a dark game, and I remember a level in a forest with lots of bamboo.

Ok so I used to play this game, i think it was either playstation one or playstation 2. You were this young guy who was working in a mine, and you had a mechanical bird and i think you had to collect gears to power things, and i remember the first big thing being escaping from the mine as it collapsed. I feel like he used some kind of tool as a weapon. Any ideas would be appreciated.

**** Stumbled across on accidnt! It was Haven!

 

[undeadluke92]

ok ok here is a very strange one guys and gals, i remember playing a PS2 game where you play as what i can only describe as a human hologram who flies around inside a program, and you shoot enemies ... but ... when you shoot them it plays a note, if your get lets say a 12 hitstreak it combines all 12 and plays a melody, each level brings a new look to your human hologram thingy, and new sounds, please help guys =]

 

[undeadluke92]

no worries people i just found it REZ!!

 

[Burlacu Madalin]

In 2005 I played a shooter pc game. It could be from 2005, 2004, 2003. I don't know.
You enter in a cemetery and after you is a cameraman. You have to kill zombies and when you do this, the TV audience is growing.
In the right bottom, is the reaction of the public who watch the show.
If anyone knows the name, please tell me.
I can't find it.
Thank you!

Hi, I'm trying to find the name of this old game.

It is similar to Zelda I think in terms of game style. This is what I remember from the game:

You start in a small cave next to a town by coming out of some chamber or time travel device thing. You fight with a single hero that uses a sword. The sword can be upgraded into a wind, fire, ice, lightning sword. Each type can be upgraded 3x I think so you can charge and fire more powerful attacks. The first thing you do is leave north of town to fight gorilla and slime looking monsters. You have to find a sleeping man in a cave and get some potion to wake him up and power up the windmill to open up another cave. The first boss in that cave is a witch looking thing that teleports around and attacks you with bats.

Can anyone tell me what was the name of this game? It was 2D also.
