I'm looking for a game from which I vaguely remember playing when I was smaller. I know on the CD it was yellow and silver and had a skeleton on the front. It was a first person game, long cut scene with some evil guy and a fairy or something in the beginning. It took place in the medieval ages...It was so long ago! I just remember it being really creepy and I had such a hard time going through the first bit of the game! Now that I'm older I'd really like to try playing it again. I would imagine it came out late 90's early 2000's!

I'm looking for the name of an old PSX game. It's been so long that I don't remember much about it, but I do recall that you begin the game on a plane or airship of some sort piloting a mech, then you end up crashing or jumping off or something and fighting someone else with a mech in a forested area on the surface in a battle you can't actually lose. It was an RPG I'm pretty sure, and for some reason I think it may have had multiple characters and/or scenarios you could play. My memory is so foggy that I can't really remember anything else about it.
Xenogears, maybe? Great game nonetheless.
Thanks for the help. It wasn't Xenogears, sadly. That was a good game though. It's really hard to remember any details about the game other than you start on a ship of some kind with a lot of empty cabins and the first battle is blatantly scripted so you can't lose.
If not Xenogears, maybe Vanguard Bandits? It was a PSX RPG that involved giant robots. Also, if you leave out the robots/replace them with robots that only the enemies use, it kind of sounds like The Granstream Saga.

It wasn't Daggerfall, was it? A lot of the CDs were printed with yellow ink, and it definitely had a skeleton on the cover. In fact, the only thing that doesn't fit is the opening cutscene. Is it possible you're remembering the imp in the opening dungeon (small flying thing with a fireball spell) as a fairy?

Could it be Stonekeep?

I just checked out walkthroughs of Daggerfall as well as the intro, and that wasn't it! It's REALLY similar though!I can't help remember there being the word Skeleton in the title? I had the CD a few years ago which was the one I had when I was little, but it wouldn't play on my Windows XP desktop so I ended up throwing all of my CD's out, which was a huge mistake! I feel as I am getting close to finding it though! :D

Here's my search: late 90's, with a friend we spent hours playing a game in windows (though it may have been a sega emulator or something like that, I'm not sure). We played versus, it was a battle between robots, each one would choose a robot, but it wasn't like Rise of the robots, I mean a rounds battle, we had to go through different levels, with a lateral view, several floors...
Can't really remember much more... :(

Anyway, it's a try, let's see if I can get any answer :) Thanks!!!
If it's Sega and that kind of era... Cyborg Justice, possibly?

I can only remember a few things about this fighting, single player only, fight by rounds to go up the ladder, around 1985, fighting in a pitt or warehouse area with the other fighters watching, the main boss guy would call the fighter over sometimes and say "Look at me" then hit the fighter then he would return to fight you. One of the fighters had a pig head and got red in the face and started crying while throwing windmill style punches. If anyone could help... I'd appreciate it.
Pit Fighter?

Rome: Total War?
no,no it wasn't a Total War game.
Was this perhaps Centurion: Defender of Rome [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centurion:_Defender_of_Rome]?

Ok, here's mine, and I hope I explain this well enough.
It was PC, I believe it came out between 1985-1990 it in or so. I believe it was MSDOS. you were a fugitive that had just recently been captured by some galactic marshall/policewoman/bounty hunter female. It's an adventure/point-and-click game. The first level you have to repair your ship, you've crashed on a planet, at some deserted outpost. Other levels include gambling at a casino to get money and information, finding alien eggs, being captured by monks of some sort. there's also something to do with finding beacons throughout the game.
Hopefully that's good enough, i'd love to play this game again.

It could be the Space Quest series.

Heres mine.

Its a game similar to Age of Empires/Civilizations. Computer game. The game is based around developing a civilization that worships a god like creature. You are able to choose the type of creature before you start, and one of the options was a Lion. I think some others were like a Bear, a Bull, and I think there were a few others.

You basically develop your civilization and your creature. It starts off pretty small and insignificant until you nurture it into a giant beast.

I'm 20 now, and remember playing this game a couple years ago when I was much younger. I found the game kind of difficult, but intriguing. I never really got into it enough, and only played it at a friends house. Never owned it. Cant for the life of remember what it is. I think now that I'm older I'd appreciate the style of game more now.

Anyone know what I'm talking about?

That sounds to me a bit like Black & White [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_%26_White_%28video_game%29]... Although the animals in it were cow, tiger and gorilla.

Since you're talking about recently, it may have been Black & White 2 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_%26_White_2], which lists lion as a creature option. I'm not as familiar with 2, as I only played 1 [in fact, I've been looking for it recently]. I know in 1 the player is only visible on screen as a giant hand... B&W came out in 2001, B&W2 came out in 2005.

Does this sound familiar to you, perchance?

Any games that I remember playing but don't remember the name of are games that I never played that much and didn't enjoy much either. Now if we were talking about cartoon/anime I can think of one or two, but not games.

Can you choose to play the game as either the prisoner or the captor? It sounds very similar to Guilty: Innocent Until Caught 2.

I remember playing a game in the mid late 90s on the PC, think it was on floppy disk.

The main character had spiky ginger hair and a dog, and the idea of the game was to travel through time with each setting being a level. The first level was Ancient Egypt i think and i seem to remember a dinosaur themed level also. There was an object to collect in each level, maybe a crystal, and i seem to remember you had to then bring it back to the time machine though that might not be correct. As for the title i'm pretty sure it included the character's name and "Time Travel" or "Time Machine".

If anyone could help me with this one it would be greatly appreciated!

Hi everyone, I am looking for a very old ps1 game i guess, you play 2 or 3 character (Cyber Robot type, one of them look like masked man, its weapon somehow looks like mantis green sable, real time combat 3D game)you fight through enemy and get new weapon or so. the masked-man-like (Like baja hitam/ masked rider) character can jump and do a spinning attack in the air. One other character look like a stone-man if im not mistaken. You use different character for different level. Please Help!!! Thanks in advance.

I'm trying to find an old PC game. It was top-down, IIRC. Arena-style soccer, except you drove cars. Started with light little vehicles, and as you won you could work your way up to heavier and more heavily-armed vehicles. There were random 'tiles' on the arena floor that would accelerate or slow you, or one called 'vector-velocity' that just chucked you in a random direction. It might have been for Genesis instead of PC, but I don't think so.

why does nobody want to help me?
Maybe no one knows, or too many posted to notice your post.

I don't know the answer myself, but your post is very detailed. I'll repost it and maybe someone will remember the game. Good luck. :)

Ok.. Created Acc to ask this question

I remember playing this on either windows 95 or milenium (or in between)

you played as a brownish VTOL aircraft and you had to guard your base from enemy attacks, your base had two turrets and you could spawn Demo trucks using the F1 key and Tanks using the F2 Key, and also blue monster trucks. the enemy would always send a few tanks to your base followed by one demo truck, and you had to destroy their base aswell, you used the WSAD keys to move and it Wasnt a Top down game, but a 3D first or third person game.

thx in advance
