A long shot, but I remember renting time on the Macs at the public library in my hometown around 1995-1997....there was a game I used to play all the time that sounds a bit like what you're talking about. Power Pete? You are an army guy in prehistoric times, there are dinos, a purple gun, trees, rocks...don't remember about the tar pit, but I never got far (could only check out computers for an hour). I bet this is your game.twishling said:

That feeling right there is probably one of my favorites in the world; rediscovering an old game and getting ready to relive the glory days. I recently went back and played all the old edu-games we used to have on our macs in elementary school. Dr Quandary, Factory, Amazon Trail, Yukon Trail...they just don't make em like they used to.twishling said:

there was this old game i used to play on this emulator full of genesis games i believe.
The game started you playing with a small herbivore dinosaur and there were these strange alien dino versions of em.
you started off with both an herbivore and a carnivore. The herbivores would eat the grass and make you win points (that worked like mana of some sort on wich you could make it rain on where you chose or make fires)
after a few lvls you would get a new dinosaur like an egg eating one a pterosaurus and a few others. The enemy alien things would also get the same ones you got. like the egg one would get a ninja guy that would eat the eggs with rice lool
you would spawn these dinosaurs with a weird kind of looking egg incubator that would shoot off the eggs around it. you would also need said "mana" to produce dinosaurs.
If it helps of any ways:
Stegossaurus was green?
T-rex was purple
pterodacty was purple
egg eating one was green
triceratops i believe was also purple
and the allossaurus was red.

An old game has been bugging me. Played it on a demo cd with many other games.
Graphics were like androids but slightly improved. Your ship would start on a circular planet with a few buildings. Gradually your planet would build up and producen an orbiting landing pad where you could pick up upgrades. Later colony ships were made and would float round your planet.
While this was happening you could fly your ship and if you sucessfully landed on a new planet it would become yours. These colony ships would then fly to this new planet building buildings and defenses.
While this was going on enemy ships would be doing the same. You could kill colony ships before they arrived kill enemy planet buildings allowing you to claim the planet.
Any help much appreciated

Hey!
I'm trying to remember an old game i played long time ago. ( i'm 18 years old now )
The game was build like a maze but you still could see the whole map.
There was monsters like Mummys, vamprires, flowers, green frankstaine, werewolves...
in some levels there also was a giant monster like the ones i already said and darkness that you could see your character.
How you killed the monsters? you took items and throw / stab the monster.
I remember you could also kill the flowers by Spraying them, and the vampires by stabbing them with a Wooden stake.
There was many levels on the game.
Thanks so much for the helpers!!!
P.S PLEASE HELP ME D:

Heya, not sure how I got here but I have a game that has really bugged me.
It is on the Xbox and I had only played it at a demo at a store when the Xbox was first coming out.
The demo had four characters but only two were playable in the demo, a warrior-like guy and I can't remember much about the girl. The other companions were a tinker guy and a girl.
You played two characters at once and could swap between them as you willed and it had block moving puzzles and a dungeon boss and I faintly remember dragons.
Sorry for not having much to go on but this plagues my mind so much.

If so, Karateka is the game. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karateka_%28video_game%29 )
I remember playing a game in the early 2000's on either a Win 95 or 98, it was a (VERY) gory sprite(?) like horror game that featured like zombies/mutations. I can remember you get dropped off in a whole town alone and you have to fight through it and fighting bosses in the end and one boss was huge and you were fighting him in the water and his "weak spot" was when he ripped open his rib cage and showed off the mutations inside his chest cavity. I've been looking for this game for years now and I can't seem to find it anywhere.
Any help is really appreciated!

Was it like Diablo? Legacy Of Kain: Blood Omen 1? Or something totally different?CherriePie4 said:
What was the setting, fantasy? Was there a character selection?
Anyone know the name of this RC racing game from the late 90's or early aughts?
It had 3d graphics, but was from a top down perspective where you could see the entire map. One map was like a creepy graveyard area, one was a generic suburban backyard.
Also, there's this game where you go around a museum collecting dinosaur bones, and when you found enough you could bring a dinosaur to life, and it would walk around the museum.

I remember it was a gameplay trailer, or more it felt like a technological demo, showing off an engine without any HUD (ammo, health etc). I think I saw it between years 2006-2007. It was a First Person Shooter set in some sandy town which felt like Egypt, Turkey or Iraq, the place where it was happening looked like this - http://bit.ly/1btublC ... you know this kind of a building structure, I also remember that there was a little sandstorm going through that place, enemies were all over the place - on roofs, on balconies, in alleys, enemies were also wearing this on head - http://bit.ly/1d1D1xO ... person which you controlled could lean over objects, was holding and shooting from a weapon which looked like FN-FAL - http://bit.ly/1cvMngh or HK21 - http://bit.ly/1hL3YaZ ... at least I think, and in a background was playing some kind of an orchestral Arabian/Turkish felt-like music. I don't even know if that game was released or cancelled, or if it was just some kind of a technological demo, and I also don't know for what platforms it was made for. Can't remember more.
