I remember a game which I played when I was younger. It was basically an online game where you are actually a GUNBOT where you will shoot to either kill your enemy or shoot the land below them to drop them.

You can either play 1 on 1 or more. But it's generally a Blue and Red Team. I still remember the characters (bots) are very cartoonish thus its not those 3D games or sorts. It is basically played online with loads of other players. Another thing I remember about the game is that by shooting, you have "Wind" and etc so you need to shoot further and etc to hit your enemy.

Does anyone remember a game like this? I've been trying to remember the name but just can't seem to remember anything at all. It's quite a fun game where you just shoot your friends and etc. There's quite a lot of different bots for you to choose, some are tanks, boomerang shooter and a lot more.

Would seriously appreciate it if anyone can tell me the name of the game.
If it's an old DOS era game, you're probably thinking of Scorched Earth.

Hi,

I'm looking for a game that I played when I was a tiny lad. I remember it very vaguely but I'll try my best to list what I remember.

- First of all, I'm pretty sure this was a 2D platformer, most likely on the SNES.
- It has to do with dinosaurs and humans, and you had to pick who you wanted to play as.
- Both single and multiplayer, I think.
- It looked a little cartoony and was very colorful.
- I think it was your responsibility as a human to save your dinosaur buddy.

This is just about all I can remember. I really wish there was more I could think of but it's 5:40 am right now. If I remember anything else I'll add it to the post.
Could that have been Dinocity?

Hi i am trying to remember of a game i played. it is Sci-fi RTS/FPS for windows. The year might be 1995-2000.

It had to deal with a home base where you can create vehicles like tanks and planes (ships) and turrets and what not but you could switch between them on the hub on top. The only games that i found similar to this was the Battlezone series (e.g Battlezone 2) although it may seem familiar i dont recall any of the maps in those games and the whole aspect of being able to construct vehicles easily and instantly switch/warp between them was not really seen in Battlezone and i dont remember being able to walk like a soldier as seen in the gamplays of Battlezone.

I remember that when one machine was destroyed you were automatically sent to another one. I just remembered that you could spawn the machines on the map like if it was an expanded map of rts games that usually be on the bottom right/left corners and you could have selected the machines from said expanded map. Also the UI (or HUD) was very similar to Ground Control UI(or HUD).

Any help would be appreciated, i have been digging and searching the internet to no avail. Please and thank you.

i am also looking for a racing game that looks and plays like rollercage series and track mania but it isnt those. the closest that i have come to find was Nitro stunt racing but it is not it. i remember it being more cartoony than stunt racing. my memory of it is very vague. the name of it may have had nitro or turbo in its name, i cannot remember. all i remember is that it had it heavily dealt with the theme of speed. and i think the loading screen may have had an exhaust pipe spewing out flames or it was a blue/purl bar fueling up with green goo or blue nitrous.

All i probably could remember would be the first track where it had some loops in it and i think when u went on one the camera angle changes to an outward angle and goes back to third person after the loop is done. other than that i think you could have jumped with the car as well (Not very sure with this one so take it with a grain of salt). the car i think i remember choosing was purple as well with green flames. the cars were very similar to rollercages and nitro stunt racing. the game may have been a download and play game like Arial fire and games as such (not sure if this is accurate but its a just in case).any help or suggestions would be great please and thank you

And if anyone else may know this other game it is a side view game that plays like another world and blackthorne. i mainly remember you playing as a human while teaming up with an armored alien and you start off on a ledge. i saw a clip on youtube and cant seem to find it back. i cant remember if it was the human you played as or the alien (that looks like an ogre) but if no one can dind it then its ok, was really hoping to find it back. cause i remember it so well but when i google for games similar to anotherworld or blackthorne it dosnt come up

Not sure about the first game, but could the second one have been The Way or the sequel to Another World, Heart of the Alien?

I'm kinda leaning towards "Hunter Hunted" (1996), with human and alien teaming up and such, but the alien wasn't armored and looked more like a minotaur.

Hello everyone,

I am looking for a game that I played when I was very young on windows 95. It was a plateformer, japanese I think, where you control a little boy. The game is very colorful and you could ride a white goose.

Thanks.

defiantly not this one either, i think instead of them teaming up, you are in a prison and you release some and they help you in some way, i really cant remember. is that really all the side view games like another and blackthone? it may have been just another side view shooter with the alien (that look like the alien from another world) but the graphics was more snes like and less dos and he was wearing like a bracelet on his arm with red and blue or green colours, i hope this is helpful, trying to be as descriptive as possible and remember as much as i can

Hello, I'm searching for an old game, it was a 3rd person shooter, you were on a sort of alien world, you had a squad of 4(?) aliens, all humanoids, and you could choose their body size and color. I also remember that in this world there was mostly plants. Thanks if anyone could help me :)

Hmm, there were a couple of similar games, "Another World" even had a direct sequel "Heart of the Alien" (1994) on console.
On PC there were games like "Flashback" (1992), the "Oddworld" games ("Abe's Oddysee" (1997) and "Abe's Exoddus" (1998)),
"Bermuda Syndrome" (1995) etc. but none of them has a matching protagonist and atm I can't remember anyone who does. :-D

its ok thank you so much for he attempt though. I guess it must have been a mistake on my part. I probably just mistook another game for something else, but thank you. cause i honestly cant find it either and i coulda sworn i saw it in a YouTube clip somewhere. it probably was nothing like those games and was more of just a side shooter.

Hey everyone! I'm in need of some major assistance! I'm look for a free PC game my friend and I played when we were younger. Pretty sure it was on freeworldgames.com but i can't remember the name! I'm almost positive it started with a B... but it was a puzzle/escape type of game. You were a grey, block man, in a black room with doors. An eye shows up every now and then. You collect these types that you kind of put together what happens in them at the end, you get them out of order, but you have to like almost watch your life? In types. It super weird but there were like two or maybe three games. I'd really love to find it again!

Hey everyone. I have one.
So I can't remember much about this one, but here goes

So essentially you're a small golden robot eho starts in a run down shack in a desert(2D platformer with pre-rendered 3D graphics like in dk country if I remember correctly) where if you went to the side of the screen there was a pit. If you were to try jumping over a big claw-like worm would jump out and eat you.
I think it was on pc (I was like 3 or 4 when I played this, it was at a family friend's house)
That's about all I can remember. I hope someone knows the name. Thanks anyway
