A co-worker and i got talking about a game that we used to play as kids. The player is like a detective, and they're wandering around a high school at night looking for clues. Somehow a camera came into play (i think to record clues and flash bad guys), and i think you had a flashlight as well. I'm pretty sure it was an educational game, and you had to solve math problems to get clues. Also the theme song to the game is The Sorcerer's Apprentice by Paul Abraham Dukas.

What is the name of this game!? my co-worker is the only other person i know who has played it or even heard of it. I think it has "midnight" i the title.

Help.

Excuse the thread jacking please, but I believe that this thread could serve a purpose :D

Okay, so I played a game where it was the looney toons characters going through specific levels. I believe it was on ps1, and you first got to play as either bugs or daffy (go figure, but you had to collect items and beat the bosses, which were other looney toons like elmer fudd and Taz. Oh and one of the levels was an aztec style pyramid with some extra stuff around...

NAME THAT GAME!

Just find a list of all PSX games and it'll be somewhere. PS1 has a surprisingly small lineup.

I'd know that game anywhere. It's Bugs Bunny & Taz: Time Busters.



My brother and I used to have a blast with that game.

An old computer game where you were a dinosaur hunter of some sorts, had your own trophy room etc, and for some reason the only way to kill a T-Rex was to shoot it in the eyes.
NAME THAT GAME.

No idea though.

I wonder if I should try my luck here.

I remember playing a game a long time ago. I was flying a spaceship through underground installations (on different planets) to get a nuclear bomb (if I remember correctly), then carrying that bomb out. I remember it being difficult because the bomb weighted a lot, and made it difficult to steer the ship (the bomb was attached with a "rope" of sorts).

It was really fun, I wish I could play it again.

Flying a space ship underground? Was it a Zero-G environment?

Could it be Descent?

A game where you play as a shaman for the blue village on your little planet. You could use spells that terraformed the land, summoned plants, tornadoes, etc.... I think it was for ps1.
You had villagers you made mate and got more villagers and you could train them to become warriors and things.
hlp me pls....

I was expecting that reply, but no. This game was a 2D sidescroller, and gravity played a pivotal role. Though the Descent series was really enjoyable as well.

Because if it was I've been trying to find that game as well.

Alright then, an N64 Japanese (in both setting, voice acting and game title) platformer game. You play a black-spiked-hair red-clothed boy running round collecting coins and eating dumplings on a skewer for health. Weird face things are enemies, and I cannot for the life of me remember any story-line (then again, this was about 10 years ago). Really obscure, any ideas?

Huh, no idea then. I was a little skeptical about my answer since I don't remember Descent having any mission like that (didn't play Descent 2 and 3).

I swear I was going to say that, but I had no idea Populus had a PS1 port. Well, the more you know!

I played this on a PC, and it was probably not that long ago.

Other things I remember about the game: I definitely remember I was playing the demo version of the game. It ended after the first boss I think, after fighting a large worm-like thing (IIRC). I think I played it around 2000, and I'm fairly sure it was developed by a smaller company.

It had either a cartoonish style, reminiscent of Commander Keen 4+ but more detailed, or a more realistic style. I think it was more cartoonish.
