Hi everyone!

This is the second time I've tried to find out the title of this game and somehow I doubt it will amount to anything, but I'll give it a go.
It's an old game, 1990s I think, but it could be older. I played it around 1998, but it can be older and it was on a CD that had a collection of 100 games for PC. Just random, not very popular games, I think. I remember playing this one game that had a crocodile or a dinosaur or a lizard or some other kind of reptile as a main, character, I can't really remember. It's a 2D platform game, you just go through the forest and collect stuff. Oh, and it's not Croc, just in case you think it is.
I know my description is obscure, but I can't remember anything else. Sorry
Cosmo maybe?

I can't remember the name of a videogame on which I spent a whole summer when I was a kid.

This game was about a bunny (and I think a kitty) that has to move blocks in order to kill all the little dragons/dinosaurs and block the manholes from which they came out.
The visual was like the one in Pokemon games and everything was cute and nice (at least in the first levels, I'm not sure if it changed later).
I used to play it on the arcade console of the beach where I used to go, along with Street Fighters II, but then they changed it and I couldn't find anyone who remembered its name.
help please?

-The other games I would like to find were all similar to Contra. I can remember a few levels and those games were all similar so they could a sequel. In one of those games, the first level is facing soldier enemies and at the end you have to fight a mighty soldier boss. As I said, this games were action games, just like contra, with shotting, jumping, etc...
The other game of this "sequel" I can remember a very few things, I can remember a "transparent" or white little boat you have to take to arrive at a base where the boss lives in. the perspective of this game was somekind of "upper camera" in which you can see the final boss angry, with two guns shooting at you. You have to defeat that boss.

The fifth game is another "street fighting" game where you are a strong fighter and you have to fight enemies by waves, there are usually normal enemies and you can fight using punches, kicks or other moves to throw your enemies away. I can remember waves in which the enemies were stronger, they looked just like "The Thing" from Fantastic Four (xD), and those enemies were harder to kill. I remember one stage where you had to fight those enemies and you could throw them at a conveyor beld so they fell into a whole and die.

I hope you people can help me out with these games!

The game similar to Contra can be Super Contra 6.
And the other, could be Toxic Crusader or Street fighter 2010.

So this game is probably one of the earliest games I remember

I believe it was on an early Apple(Mac) computer, screen only had green type and a black background at all times. I was old enough to remember playing it so I want to say it came out 1975-87 time frame wise. It was a simple scrolling game, I think you were in some sort of graveyard and you moved the pointer with the keyboard directional buttons (yeah this was before the mouse control) "ghost" creatures would float around and you would shoot them by pushing space bar I think.

It's a solid memory, but I keep getting a lot of more recent and mixed information since so much of it has very basic search options. It's probably the earliest game I ever played, so I would like to know the name if it even had one. Probably something like Ghost Hunter or Ghost shooter, but it would still be good to know for certain. Many thanks to anyone who has more info about this one.

All I can remember of this game is the trailer where there is a big green lizard like man who has a big gun and puts it on his back as he lowers his head and rams into enemies. There is also a male character wearing a hat that has very large turret or gatlen guns that shoots enemies while getting onto a helicopter. Another female character has the ability to go invisible and uses a knife to slit enemy throats.

I cannot remember this game for the life of me and it has been bothering me for a while. I believe it was for the original XBOX but I am not sure. Thanks for the help.
Brute Force?

I'm trying to remember a game from my childhood that came out late 80s or early 90s. It's a one player PC game. The premise is that a guy in a spaceship runs out of fuel and has to land on an alien planet. The only way for him to get enough "fuel" to reach home is to go through a ton of levels collecting jewels or gems. I think you got three lives each level. I'll try to remember more of it, but details are very fuzzy.

HI, I remember playing a game on mac, in early 2000's. I presume it was a 90's game, but it was a sort of futuristic sim city style game, and i'd love to find out what its called. Also, does anyone know if the original Myth game for mac from the 90's, can be downloaded or played on a new mac, or will it not work?

Finally, does anyone know of any websites that have a list of old 90's and early 2000's games for mac, pc or ps1? Id love to just go through them all and remember good memories.
Wikipedia has lists of games that came out on every console. Just Google search for "Wikipedia list of games on PS1" or list of games of whatever OS you're looking for and it should come up.

Hi everyone! I am desperately trying to remember this one game that I played on a blue iMac G3 as a little kid in the 1990s. It was a shooting style game that you shot ketchup on objects and you had a certain number if lives. You could get power ups that you could get mustard and even green ketchup. You used the mouse button or space bar to shoot the projectiles on the objects. When they were shot, the made a "farting like" noise. Please help me find this game! I have been looking for this for years and cannot find it at all. The operating system that it was played on was Mac OS 8.6 or 9. Thank you so much in advance!

Hello there, I Really need to figure out the name of this game that consisted of Insects. The game was sort of a Colonization type game that was for the pc where you started out with a set number of strongholds that you could level up or enhance. It was made roughly around mid to late 1990's or even early 2000's. The only things I can remember were that the main colors of the different colonies were red, blue, green, and blue. And that with each different strong hold you collected, you got different bugs with guns on them or attacks. Including Spiders, Wasps, Ants, and others. I really miss this game and I haven't played it for years. If anyone could name anything close to something like this, that would be great. I really look forward to your responses. Remember this is an older game so it isn't an app for Androids or Ipods. Thanks a lot.

-Demikachuu over and out.

It sounds like it could be one of the Might and Magic games. I don't know which one, but the only game in that series that I've played also featured red Orcs.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Might_and_Magic

There's a list of the 9 games it could be, and you'll probably find a video of the intro you're talking about on Youtube.

UP! i really want to know the name of that game :-(

"Hello everyone.

i'm looking for a game i enjoyed.
probably played it on gameboy but not sure / my memory is foggy
maybe it was on a friend home computer like AppleII or another computer at that time.

it was a 2d side-view platformer in which you were able to PEE to destroy a block of the level next to your avatar
i dont remember it having various colors (thats why is suspect a gameboy version)
you had ladders in the level allowing to climb up or down stairs.
there were ennemies chasing you automatically but you could make them fall in the holes you created by peeing ^^
you avatar was not able to jump so you had to 'pee strategically' cause your moves followed the same restriction as ennemies (you had to fall in the holes you created too)


i would be glad if someone remember the name of that game !"
