Hey everyone, I'm looking for two games that i used to play as a kid but never quite finished it, and its bugging me a bit. I recall playing Bad Mojo, Teenagent and Full throttle together with the games i'm looking for.
1) The game intro(sequence) starts with the protagonist, a man (if i recall correctly) sleeping. His pets, which all happens to be monsters, tries different methods to wake him up but fails. They eventually resort to using explosives (tons of dynamite) - this idea, while wakes him up but blows them up to different parts of the world (map). The game takes off from there, as the main characters solves puzzles to rescue each one of his pets/monsters. Gameplay is comparable to the classic donkey kong platformer if i recall correctly.
2)A Dark and gritty game, you play the character of a witch. It plays similarly to the classic hit Monkey island as you explore this medieval set. Collecting items etc. I cannot recall what the objective of the game was.
Please help!

Hello, have 3 games to ask about here...
1. An old arcade game, from mid 80's to early 90's (if i had to guess, i'd say the range of '88-'91). It was a top over shooter, 1 or 2 player, the one things i explicitly remember about it is: the first boss was a tank type vehicle, had a goblin type face, It reminded me very much of the clown truck from Maximum Override. If it helps, I played this at a local pizzahut (i'm located in iowa if that's needed at all).
2. This one was on the PC, early 90's, it was a puzzle game. Your objective was to paint all the tiles to a different color, but you could not move over a tile more than once. There were some crazy kinda obstacles like giraffes, elephants, etc etc. You could also make your own puzzles as well. The title may or may not have had "paint" in the name.
3. Another puzzle game, mid to late 90's. I really wanna say the mechanics were similar to crazy machines. You were attempting to catch mice (i think), by setting up "pieces" in a specific way. I do remember it had A LOT of levels, most of which couldn't be unlocked without a certain amount of progression. i remember one song in it, but hell, figuring out that song is harder than guessing this game :/
anyhoo, thanks for any help!

I'm looking for a PC game that was around in the early 00s, maybe released in the late 90s. The theme was that you were helping out a professor test some new equipment in his laboratory - though the gameplay was similar to golf in that your goal for each level was get a ball into a small doorway or marked hole in the ground. (Often, there were several holes with the trickier targets earning you bonus lives or taking you to an extra level or somesuch.) The levels were 3D with various paths and obstacles such as deadly pits, fans or magnets. Your ball could be of several different materials with different physics or effects eg. rubber, glass, steel. Moving the ball simply required selecting a direction and speed, then pressing a button; there wasn't a club or anything like that. If you lost the ball, a new one would be dispensed at the starting location. Your remaining balls were always visible to the side of the screen and popped out into the level kind of like a pinball machine. There was also an easter egg / joke about not pressing a certain key on the keyboard (K? M? L? I forget which). Pressing the key repeatedly while ignoring the ominous warnings from the professor would dump you in bonus trap-filled level without any clear exit.
EDIT: Never mind, I stumbled across it while searching for something different. The game is The Wild Science Arcade, developed by Binary Zoo in 1993.

One of The Incredible Machine series?darak said:
3rd person survival horror PC game
world war 1 theme
In the game you would walk around the battlefield (trough trenches, bunkers) and kill enemies (the ones i most remember are the dobermans with glowing red eyes that would come running up to you and also big soldiers in iron armor like Ned Kelly)
the graphics look like a darker version of Sniper Elite

It's been bugging me.
I remember playing this one game on the Xbox I think.
It was where you could have a customized cat, and you adventured around like a spy and killed pigs. I think it was multiplayer too, but I'm not 100% sure..... that's about as much as I remember, but I'd really like to know what it's called so that I can play it again sometime.

Blinx: The Time Sweeper or more likely Blinx 2: Masters of Time and Space.Kasigami Shia-kane said:
That totally looks like it's it, thank you soooo much, we loved it at the arcade as kids! If this isn't it, then i'll never find it, so I'll take itMicRemembersBadly said:
Ty for the suggestion, I checked them out a couple years ago, but none of them seemed quite right. One key to deciphering the game I'm looking for is that I'm 85% sure you were trying to capture something each level. It was either: trying to capture mice, capture a cat to free the mice, or lead the mice to cheese. Maybe I'm just remembering one level in particular, but the mice/cheese/cat theme was very strong in my mind. There was an older game called Rodents Revenge that's been suggested to me before, but that is not it. It definitely had a more Incredible machine-type feel to it.OneMoreNameless said:
I had a demo of it on windows 98
It was a game where you had a base that produced bugs
each type of base produced a different bug (ants,spiders,ladybug,beetles)
the bases had specialized troops like some ants were fast and others were strong
the goal was to take over all the other bases controlled by AI
it wasnt a cartoonish game
there were a few levels in the demo version
It was an top to bottom perspective and you controlled armies of bugs
I believe it was real-time not turn based
you could highlight a group of soldiers and tell and click on other bases and they would go attack it
the bugs were weapons unlike regular bugs as well
like the beetles had cannons on there backs
and I think there was a sniper spider
maybe a machine gun ladybug it was that type of thing
I've been searching for it for quite some time now

YES!!!! I have been looking for this a long time, does anyone know the name of this game??Willyna said:
2 NES games come to mind that I can't remember the name.
1st game was an airplane game where you had a blue and red airplane with a hook under it and you had to kill the planes coming to you and the canons on the ground (side scroller) and when you got hit by a a canon you would crach in a board and stuff like that (kid graphics) and you would get a medal after the run.
2nd game is hard to describe, you were a knight/soldier moving in a side scrolling way, you had to gather gear like lava boots to walk on lava etc, and pick up diamonds from different colors to unlock the next level.
Had a 3rd in mind, but found it before posting. Crystal palace on NES (where yo push floor tiles like waves of water to destroy enemies by pushing them on walls.
