Do you remember what console you played it on? Gameboy, NES, PC etc...? I may be way off, but another game I can think of that that has turn based attacks and multiple party members and lots of enemies which is kind of like Pokemon is Earthbound: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n9mxh1d4oXIrubytuesday said:

Hey guys.
I have been looking high and dry for this pc game.
You play as a dog like creature, standing on two feet. You use guns and you can jump very high.
You have to shoot other creatures like green slimes and other animal like creatures.
it's a 2d shooter and the first level is in a jungle type area. The level was really large and could maybe be compared to metroidvania type gameplay.
Also you had eyes as a life indicator somewhere on the bottom of the screen I believe, and they would get more red the more often you got shot.
This is all how i remember it so it might not be entirely correct.
Also I believe the dog creature would often stick it's tongue out.

Unfortunately, no, that isn't it. The train looked like an actual locomotive engine and the track looked like actual railroad tracks.diablo rules said:
My dad said our monitor was a one-color, green on black monitor, but for some reason my brain is remembering the game in orange on black.
I could be mistaken, because it's been a long time since I played it, but I wonder if it might be Tyrian/Tyrian2000? I'll have to check out the weapons list in that game, but it sounds awfully similar.Alex Tay said:hi all, I used to play a pc game around year 2000+ which is an airplane top down shooting game. In the game, you control an aircraft flying on an alien planet shooting down enemies with lasers, bombs, missiles etc. In total each planet has 5 stages if not mistaken, before proceeding to the next planet. After each stage you are able to upgrade your weapons using points you accumulated in the stages by killing enemies. Some of the weapon names that i recall are 1) Missiles: Pathfinder, Magnum, Needle. 2) Bombs: Air filter. 3) Satellites(Shields): Ghost, Volcano, Starlight, Guardian. 4) Gunner. Any idea what is the name of this game? Please help, Im desperate to find out what was this game that I've played in my childhood. Thanks
If not, it's free on GOG and probably a few other places and might scratch the itch while you're searching

the game only allows single player. Anyway thanks for sharing 
That definitely looks like the image I have in my head of the gemstone collecting side. Thanks!Drathnoxis said:Voulan said:2) This game I have no idea what it was originally on, other than some form of computer. The game featured some sort of male adventurer, who had to make his way from the left side of the screen to the right (or vice versa), all the while avoiding large monsters that patrol up and down the length of the screen. The idea was to dash across when they had their back turned on him. There may have been gemstone collecting and boulder pushing, but that might be me merging two games together.It sounds like Emerald Mine for the Amiga to me. The game was all about collecting gems and pushing boulders and you had no direct way of killing the monsters except using boulders so there was a lot of avoiding too.OREayda said:
By the way, Voulan, what game is your avatar from?
Although it's definitely evident that I have combined two different games because it doesn't fit my memory of the vertical-scrolling monsters. At least that's one piece of the puzzle sorted.
My avatar isn't from a game, it's from an artistic parody of another artist's work using Mario with the seagull across his face. I just thought it was adorable and cut him out and changed the background. You can see the original here: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/126484-Magritte-Meets-Mario-In-Pixelated-Art-Mashups
Really? Cause level 4 (EDIT:whoops, I meant lvl 3) is entirely scrolling monster that need to be avoided.Voulan said:
Huh, I thought it would have to be from a game since I thought I saw it on a video game quiz game called Geek Mind. Also someone made it in pearlers and called it a "goonie". (Unless that was you)Voulan said:
I guess that will have to be my own question on here.
I remember those yellow units had a funny voice and used to say things like "I'm on my way" after an order was given, or "Impossible" if it couldn't be done.Ramon Bastos said:
I've been looking for this game for years. I think you were able to create weapons with some resources.
By the way, does anyone remember an old PC game (like mid 90s), a city builder usually located on an island where you create a touristic village or city? It was something like SimCity, but simple and 'vacation-themed'.
Okay, in the game you play a warrior with a cape with black and a longsword, his name is Max or Maxwell something like that. I remember it being for the gamecube and PS2 I think. The menu screen is the character in a cemetery and the different menu screens are gravestones. The whole game you are fighting undead creatures etc. If anyone could help that would be great
The game I don't remember in any way the name, I played in windows 95
I don't remember very well, I can be missing somhintg or not...
-This game is totally in 2D
-It have enemies, ladder to go up and down to explorer the stage,
-For pass to another level, you need reach a door (a portal or something like that, brighting in green color.)
-To reach other places in th level, you have a bomb to destroy walls
-I don't think this is right, but... you need a key to open the door for other level,
-So like other games, enemyie to destroy or avoid

I have been looking for a pc game for so long where i played the demo all i can remember is you get beached on an island with your character and some some soldiers. You can find some wild horses which you can get your soldiers to ride. You then find a like settlement thing which you get people to then build and havest wood. Just outside the settlement there are farms which you send your people to havest. There are also enemy soldiers which you have to defeat and if i remember you also can set fire to there wall with torches or something. Its been about 10 years since i played but i hope someone can help been looking for so long. Also i remember the enemies wore yellow armour.
The game i'm looking for is a fighting, beat em up, side scrolling, 2D game from 80s to 00s.
Your character is a guy in red i think, in stage one.
In stage two you are some girl in purple.
The HP of enemy bosses, not sure if the main character's aswell, are at the bottom center of the screen.
In stage 4 there are two bosses that are dark purple and i think one or both of them wield a pole or a pipe.You can press the select button that will allow you to transform, but only during boss fights.
Then there's some black boxer guy in red shorts in the arena or a ring that has only two health bars but is really tough, there are a few more boxers like him throughout the game.
I'm not sure about this next one at all but i think the final boss is a dragon or something like that.
If anyone can help me find this game it would be awesome.

I'd really appreciate help finding this old PC game but I don't know very much about it. Possibly windows 95 or 98 platform based mid to late 90's turned based adventure game. You play a squad of maybe 3-5 commando style characters but you are in a futuristic space station type setting where aliens are trying to kill you. I know it's not much but hopefully someone can help out.
So, there is a game that i played a few years ago, and the closest genre i could think of would be an adventure game, like Syberia. It starts off with you playing the role of a boy in a cursed town, and you do missions for the towns people. One point that stuck out to me is there was a fairy in a cage hanging from the tree in the center of town, with guards deciding on whether to kill her. there is also a a magic shop with a transmutation circle on the floor, and an armor shop across the street that has a secret basement. the look of the town was medieval, was also a mill on a hill that had a huge dog guarding it.
thats all i can remember from it. if anyone has played it and remembers what its called, please let me know!
