Hey everyone!

I'm trying to remember a 90s PC game. It was a turn-based strategy game, much like Risk, but each country had a political or government designation. It was part of a demo pack of a bunch of games, if that helps. And was not as complex as SuperPower. If the country had the same political affiliation as you, they were easier to rule...
What else ... The game was played entirely from a map view which was black background screen with white borders and brightly colored territories. Or I just imagined the whole thing when I was 12. Thanks!
This may be Civilization
Thanks! It's not Civilization, but that might help me find it. It had more of a War Games look to it. A lot like this: http://www.videogamer.com/pc/defcon/screenshot-22.html

I am looking for a game played in the mid to late 90's. It could be older of course I played it at my cousins and fell in love. Well that was to long ago to remeber the title but this is what I remember. You had companions one of them was a dragon. They followed behind you on the map. The maps that i remember mostly consisted of grassy areas and some woods iirc. I know it might be a long shot but I would love to find this game... I am wanting to say it was on the nintendo you put the games in on top but I could be wrong.

hi guys
The game I'm looking is a SRPG with very cartoony graphics a lot like saiyuki world on playstation with the top-down tactics like in Final Fastasy tactics. The main character is a little monkey in a red outfit traveling with a bunch of other animals. It was on a old pc OS like 95 or earlier. The game was in korean so I don't know what it was about. I think it may have something to do with the monkey king or Sun Wukong and his journey west.

Ok, here's one that's been bugging me for years.

I remember playing this game in the late '90s- I remember that it was set in a world where everybody was dogs. Like, everyone was dogs of different kinds etc. It was pretty bad early 3D graphics, and I vaguely remember that you started off with an ax and I want to say a bottle. I remember that you could throw the ax at a random passed out drunk dog in an alley, and it would stick in him but not kill him. I'm pretty sure it was a point and click, too.

It might have been a demo. I really want to say that it was called "Dog's Day" or Dog Day", something along those lines, but absolutely nothing shows up on that for a google search (and no, it was not Dog's Life or Sam and Max.)

If anyone solves this, massive thanks.

Hey guys.

I'm really looking into one game that I used to play with a friend from ~2004-2006.
It was 1v1 one keyboard game, platformer, you jumped around little platforms, picking lasers, rocket launchers, shields, and shoot at one another, it had a snowy map. I really cannot remember anything else about that game, but I've been trying to find it for almost 3-4 years now by now and then, and can't get any clue about it. I think it has something with "R" in it's name, idk if they're makers or game name.
Halflife 1? Star wars battlefront 1/2?

Guys,
PLEASE help me.
When I was a kid I used to play a game from that SEGA CD ROMs.
THe game started with a boy sleeping. He wakes up and you start guiding him through the city. The neighborhood has aliens\monsters.
It is a RPG-like game. You walk out of city too, open chests, fight monsters. It is quite hard to avoid the monsters.

I just cant remember the name of this game.
Please help me.

Thanks!!!

Don't think it involved werewolves or horror. I feel like it was kind of an adult oriented game though.

Ok,

I've tried this before and never got an answer.

The game is from I'd say early 90s (might be earlier, too young to remember) for the PC.

You had worlds you could travel to and you worked in two ways:

1. It was side scrolling fighting with your spacecraft a la zero wing until you landed on the planet to start your mission.
2. You landed on the planet and from a diagonal point of view (if I remember correctly) you could fight the baddies and collect resources/coins.

There were different worlds: industrial, jungle planet, etc.

For the life of me I can't remember the name of the game.

Can anyone help?

I'm looking for this game where you play as a blue nija type person. To complete a level, you have to steal a jewel at the center of the level. You where being chased by the red spider-like creatures. I was on PC maybe 2000 or earlier.

need help remembering a game, it was like castlevania, you started on horseback running from a black monster trough a forest, you had to jump over logs or the horse would slow down and the monster would kill you, you eventually get to a canyon and try to jump to the other side, its a hard jump and if you dont make it you fall on a river and lose your horse, having to keep going on foot, if you do make the jump you get to a gate or bridge, i dont remember what happens next
i played it on the computer, but i might have been a genesis or snes emulator

I signed up for escapistmagazine just for this question :) when i was very young (around 2004-2006) i used to play one specific car racing game from my dad which brings up many memories. But i don't know the name of it. I do know that there was one specific map in las vegas where you have to drive through a shopping mall or something like that (i think there also was a map in berlin, but i'm not sure) and there was a playable male character and he drove an orange car. The controls were kind of arcade-like. I know that's not much but if some1 knows which game it is i will give him a cookie ;)
Thx for halp,
Woulve

I have another request for a lost game...
The game was a Mame 32 game. It was a platformer game like super mario. You were some kind of prehistoric warrior with a weapon like a bladed jo-jo. You fought enemies like goblins and pterodactyls and moved through various landscapes. I remember moving on a wooden bridge overlooking a vast plain with a waterfall. The game had many levels, i never quite finished it...
