Someone knows game at 1:40?
If you read the "About" section under the video, the uploader states where you can find the full list of games. I did some looking at the link they provided (since I suck at remembering old PC games), and it's Heroes of Might and Magic III, as seen here: http://www.polygon.com/2012/10/3/3451290/video-the-evolution-of-pc-games

Hi everyone,

One pc game I am trying to remember.. It is killing me! Probably between 92-98

It was like a trivia game. First you had to choose a character. They were usually weird colorful creatures. You could play with your friend or with a computer. Than the computer would generate very funny questions, one by one. The answers were usually multiple choice. Sometimes they were open ended.

Each question was introduced with a funny cartoon/animation representing that number. For example for one number there would be an animation of a girl sitting on a dentists chair and from inside her mouth would appear a number. Or, there would be a poop shaped like number 8 :)

Between some questions there would be some funny, fake commercials.. Again like animation.

At the end of the game there was a last section where a question would be asked and some words would come up to the screen as if flying freely in the space, coming closer to the screen where the player must hit the space button if that word was representing one of the right answers. For example: "names of some candies" would be the question.. M&M being one of the right answer but "iphone" not.

You would collect money or point throughout the game.

That's all I remember. It was a very funny and colorful game

Thanks!
You Don't Know Jack series

Ok it's been driving me crazy... We used to ditch school and my friend and I would play this game... I think sega but maybe Nintendo 64 ish... You flew a aircraft (jet) or something like that you could pick. And would shoot things you got all types of cool weapons and the one I remember the most was one that spun and shot out like 3 things at once. But you just kept upgrading your ship and weapons and stuff. It was super fun!! Any help would so awesome!! Thank you!!!

( Being one of my favorite games ever, that is Heroes Of Might And Magic 2, not 3 :) )

But I guess OP meant the Diablo game either way.

I could use help finding a game I played when I was a kid. it came as a demo for my pc from one of the magazines and it was some were between 1995 and 2002. this game was an rts set in the future with sci fi content you can build bridges, gun towers rocket towers and a power station. on top of that if done right the power station if near a tower will give the towers the ability to form a shield around the base assuming you built towers to go around your base. the recon units were from what I can remember were like armored 2 wheels fast moving vehicles. and most of the infantry units were in armored suits. when ever a unit was selected they would talk so I don't know if that would help any the graphics were similar to age of empires 2. it would be awesome if you guys could help me out I've been searcing for 5 years now and I'm now asking for help

Not a bad drawing if you ask me. I knew it was the game over screen for Stellar 7 as soon as I saw that picture.

OMG, YES! YES! Hahahaha! That is exactly the picture that has been haunted my mind for YEARS! lol :p

P.S. I thought he was a blue alien but apparently I was mistaken. Oh well, I'm just glad I finally found out the game. :D

I really need help to find an old pc game i used to play. would have been from late 90s to early 00s. Ok so this game was fantasy where I think the background story line was one of a father god who divided his land between his sons and daughters but they fought over it. You could play story mode or you could pick which son or daughter you wanted to be and fight against the others. So you had your main son/daughter who built people and buildings using some sort of mana type thing (which you increased by building totems). Each son and daughter had a type of sorts, I think one was like a mermaid who was water( maybe called veruna or something similar) , another was an evil hades type, one was a female warrior type. there are more but that's all I can remember. I also remember you eventually build up enough power to make different types of dragons.
If anyone has any idea please let me know, this has been wrecking my head for ages !!

This is very vague, but it is making me go insane!

I remember a game my cousin had, the first level is in woodland type setting setting and there are enemies of some sort around. I think the main character is wearing a cap, a red one maybe? and I seem to remember at the end of the level him giving a thumbs up or something (may have imagined that).

I think he had a gun of some sort, or something to fire at the enemies.

This would have been early to mid 90's i played this i think.

That is all i remember that i can explain :( Pleeease let someone read this and know what it is!! i will be so grateful if anyone can help me! thanks

I remember playing a game years agor, but I have few memories and I'm not sure if that is REALLY a fox, but I think that I remember it was a orange fox, with a sword, and also in a village. Seems to me a RPG and something like open world, but I am uncertain. I'm almost sure it's from PS1, but maybe PS2 too... Really looking by this game, appreciate if someone could help me here...
Crash Bandicoot series maybe

I remember a flash sort of game (could be DOS).

It is a 2D game where you are a helicopter (Later airplane) and there are 2 army camps which spawns units and they are fighting against each other( sending units) in the center there are multiple bases (neutral at start) and then when the units move by they switch to the allegiance of the nearby units.

There are civilians on the map which you can pick up with your helicopter and bring back to your base to gain more money.
Objective of the game was to destroy the enemy.

you started off as a helicopter and the units were being spawned randomly later on you could choose what units to spawn and there were multiple helicopters fighting in the later levels.
there were also special powers (like airdrop units).

It was in the desert, when you are the airplane you need to either land on a airstrip or a aircraft carrier.

could someone please help me!!

I really really really need to play this game again it is haunting my mind, at night this game is all I can think about xD. sounds desperate but it's sadly true.

I couldn't finding it after searching 20 pages of google ( I guess I used the wrong keywords :( ).

So this game had to be in the 2000's. It was a space game, graphics were good, it was a strategy game that reminded me a lot of Age of Empires. I want to say you started out as an Earth Colony, you used ships to travel around space, all fighting, building, ect. was done in space. I remember Mars is your enemy (possibly?) then you take over Mars to then discover another enemy? You were transported to other parts of the galaxy, and you relied heavily on your planet for resources and ships.

I remember theres another girl commander or someone you talk to frequently, you're in charge of a lot of ships and your planet builds the ships for you. Good story line, can't remember much of it though.

& another (this should be easier in comparison) It's based off Star Trek and you're the commander of the ship, it has a good story line, decent graphics because you're able to hit direct parts of a ship. You can disable it, fly around, destroy other ships. Your camera angle is the entire ship itself or you sitting in the commanders chair.

Any possible leads? :)

I've been thinking about this game for a very long time now but I can't remember the name of the game. All I remember was 2 penguins or some sort of animal, one was blue and one was pink. There names were peanut-butter and jelly and it was a pc game. Anyone got any idea what it was called.

Strange it is when I use it. Anywhy, the Picture is of a platform game, seems like nes 8 bit game graphic wise, but for all I know it can be another console. The Pictures shows a kid wearing blue clothes and a blue cap, walking in a dark ally at night time, past a dirty building(building also blue) under a streetlight.

Hi guys,

Just came across this interesting thread and thought I'd ask for some help too:

It's a PC game I played around 1998-2002 or so, it's a top down platformer in a science facility of some sort, you were this oval shaped character (reminded me of humpty dumpty) with a large glass visor down the front. You basically belched green stuff to defeat enemies, I distinctly remember this power-up which allowed you to belch green projectiles in all 8 directions around you at the same time.

My memory's really fuzzy but I'd appreciate any ideas! :)
