Hi everybody
The last couple of days I've been thinking about a game I used to play, and I simply can't remember the name or find out from all kinds of ridiculous searches, and it's begun to drive me insane, so I hope somebody will be able to help. The problem is that I can hardly remember any details. Anyhow, I'll try to describe it to the best of my ability.
It was an arcade game, and I must have played it somewhere between 1992 and 1994, though the game was probably older than that. It was a sidescrolling shooter of sorts. You could choose between two playable characters, meaning that it's likely to have been a co-op game, though I only remember playing it single player. From what I remember, one character was black and the other was white, but maybe they I remember it that way because they wore different color suits. The characters were undercover cop/FBI agent types, and one wore a creamcolored white or beige suit, while the other wore a dark blueish or black suit. Think Homer Simpson and Lance Kaufman from the pilot episode of the fictional show Police Cops from The Simpsons (I hope that reference isn't too obscure...).
I remember there being cars in the first or maybe second stage. It may be a parking lot of sorts. I think you could interract with the cars by jumping on them or maybe taking cover behind them. I also seem to remember being escorted by a car while shooting enemies in one of the later stages (or maybe moving from moving cars to advance in the stage). I also remember a factory of some kind, which was probably the first level. You could move on the ground or on metal platforms on a higher level of the "factory". I also remember barrels that I think you could either shoot to make them explode or push them down from the metal platforms in order for them to land on enemies. Your main weapon was a very standard gun.
This is about all I remember. And as you've probably discovered, I'm unsure about a lot of it. Does any of this ring a bell with anyone?

Im not very sure but reading your description the only thing that comes to mind is one of the Spy Vs Spy games but I have never played any so I am only going off your visual description of what I know about the characters and rough idea of gameplay.BabylonFell said:
Thanks for trying to help out. I've never played any of the Spy vs. Spy games, but I did come across them in my search for this one. What I'm looking for isn't a Spy vs. Spy game. The game I'm looking for is much more "clean" and much less "cartoony" that Spy vs. Spy. Whichever company made the game clearly tried to make it look realistic in a "cool" way. From what I can gather from screetshots, the Spy games bare very little resemblance to the game I'm thinking of, actually.Maximum Bert said:
hi!
I remember playing a game, it was in the 90's, where you had a colony of sort made of some weird creatures, and it all happened under water, well at least the first level I was stuck on, the colors were vibrant and plentiful, not just blue like water. I also remember being able to move some of the creatures around and explore a bit, also found other similar creatures. Another feature I remember was the lack of HUD, or it was hidden. I really hope that you guys can help, I am looking for that game for years now.
And the second one, it was an isometric rpg style game, where you start with almost nothing, the landscape is covered with snow, and your first weapon is made of stone, as you progress you are able to create armor from leather and different metals, weapons also. I remember it was a fairly hard game and always be equiped with the best armor and weapons currently available for you to progress any further.
I thank you in advance!

Hello guys. I will be very happy if someone finds this game for me.
So... i've been playing this 2d zombie shooter game.
Looks a little bit like this http://i.imgur.com/T7lLT0Z.png (<-that is a flash game that has simmilar gameplay).
Things that i can remember:
1.The Camera was located a little bit further. (Characters were little)
2. Obviously where you pointed the mouse the character pointed his gun. OR you used 2 Keys to rotate clockwise/ counter clockwise.
3.Zombies were simple at the start of the game. They just spawned from every direction and attacked when in close proximity of my character.
4.There was some things like a spider nest (with tentacles maybe) that spawned some zombies in the upper levels.
5. (If it counts and helps you). You started the game with a pistol and then after completing levels you had more and more weapons to play with.
6.It's a PC game. Windows
7. I remember that it had a Multiplayer mode too(2 player mode)
8. You were on the desert? maybe?
I hope all the info i gaved you will help you in finding this precious game.

Hi guys,
I really hope you can help- this is driving me bonkers!
I remember playing a Computer (PC or Mac) game when I was pretty small that was set in some sort of crazy lab and you had to try and match up each individual animal body part to create a whole creature. I think it was some sort of conveyer belt kind of thing?! I remember ending up with something with strange lobster claws!?
Thanks so much, sorry for the vagueness!

I remember playing a real-time strategy game in which the villagers would make wine and bread and so forth and they would bring it to this castle. I was thinking that it would be the Settlers but I can't find it because the game that I am thinking you could actually see the guy stepping on the grapes to make the wine for example. And if my memory serves me correctly, the villagers would gather at the castle or somewhere to eat (but I'm not really sure). But the guy stepping on the grapes is what I'm looking for.
one of the guys that posted this never got a response and i'm dying to find out what this game is since it was basically my childhood, I remember this really old game you had like a floating mother ship in war where you used energy points to create tanks and jets and helicopters and you would send them to search and fight the other base which was, well from what i can remember a floating cube with a hole in the middle or something and then you could also double click on a vehicle and enter it then you can drive with it and fight with it when it was destroyed you just enter another one or create a new one and enter it from your floating mother ship, and when they destroyed your ship all your tank and helicopters etc. would also incinerate. please help, I've had this game in my head for about 13 years now and I've never been able to find it, thanks 
I don't know why, but this sounds a lot like Stronghold: Crusader (or regular Stronghold). Don't remember if you could produce wine, but the gathering at the castle thing is definitely a Stronghold thing.Adrien Franco said:
Anyways, I'm looking for a game myself. It was a game I played 10-12 years ago on Windows XP. It's a 3D hack and slash game where you take a role of a knight and try to save a princess that is turned into stone. The game has some sort of a season mechanic where you step on a circle and get transported to the same stage, but it has a different season (winter, summer, fall or spring). At some point, you get a crossbow (which used to be reaaaally powerful). Final fight is on top of a tower against a black knight AND a dragon. That's all I can remember.

Hello everyone!
If someone could remember this one, I could kiss you
It was on windows 95, a tower defense typeish game where you had to protect your HQ/launch silo from enemy robot, by building single or multi-barreled missile launchers, or trying to send your robot past their defenses. The robot would stomp stuff with his feet. I think the game was in two little windows, one for your stuff, other for the other guys.

I'm desperate! I really want to find this game (at least I think it was a game). It played on PC, maybe somewhere at late 90's or early 2000's. It was in a first person shooter like view. You go in a cave and walk forward until you get a choice for left or right. If you turn right, this bug like monster came down from the cave ceiling and killed you. If you turn left, you ended up in a bigger area with some kind of pond. Bond of lava or some poison or something. I have a slight memory of a greenish glow in the liquid (not sure though). I think you had to go near the bond to past it, but as you did so, this long necked monster shot out from it and killed you. And that's it. Never saw anyone getting pass or kill neither of the monsters.
Someone plz help. This won't stop bothering me.

Hello!
I am looking for a game I played in the early 90's. The game was from the early 90's or late 80's, on pc. It was a top down perspective, maze game. You could choose your character (from 2 or 3 options) and I think at least one was a wizard, one had a crossbow as a weapon. The goal of the game was to clear the level, kill all the enemies and I think you had to pick up a key for the next level. All action was from the top down perspective. I remember one of the enemies was a swirling metal blade. To the best of my recollection, there were spots on the floor that generated enemies in some areas. It was bright colors, not moody or somber. Would love any help you can provide. Thank you!
It is not Gauntlet, though it is very similar
