Games you can't remember, but still miss - describe them.

[KaiRai]

Search bar approved - found things similar about what you miss IN games, but not actual games.

Now I'm doing this because you're all the knowledgable sorts on games (I'd like to think so anyway), therefore it would make sense to come here.

Anyways, I remember playing this old, old JRPG/RPG where you ran round a city and into forests etc. The colours were seriously bright, like grass was acid green. Near the start, you'd pop out to the forest and fight worms mostly for the start of it. Seriously can't remember the name of it, any help would be appreciated on what game this is

If anyone else has this similar problem, post them in this thread - somebody in the community is bound to know what game you're talking about

I have no idea about the OP's.

Mine is some game, I swear i know the name. It was some game, i only remember using the multiplayer, it wa son the old PS1. You took control over some sort of car/war machine and tried to kill the other guy... Thererwas something like a leveling system like Defcon 1/2/3/4 or something like that...

What console what is on? Describe the main character and other features of the game.

As for me, it was a Spiderman game I think. For a very old console, and I distinctly remember the first bosses being 3 cheerleaders with hair they whip around and a larger (not giant, but absurdley tall) cheerleader after that who also uses her hair.

I swear I'm not making this up.

It was on the PS1, I think you just sort of looked like the generic paladin kind of thing. Armour, cape, that old chesnut. I know it was kind of like a top view but not...if that makes sense. I also distinctly remember someone having pink hair in it.

I'm not 100% but is it on the Dreamcast, or any other Sega console?

I remember playing a demo of a game. It was fantasy, with wizards and such. Anyway, it was a strategy game, where you were a wizard, and you summoned creatures to fight for you. I think you could choose your wizard, and the one I chose was a bald guy. The minions you summoned were also 3 types of groups. The only one I can think of is a sort of nature group. It was a top-down game. And thats pretty much all I remember. It's not exactly much, but it's all I can think of at the moment.

Was it a proper rpg?
It kinda sounds like Wonderboy (in Monsterland) because I distinctly remember fighting snakes that could easily be mistaken for worms at the start.

 

[blippity]

There's one game I used to play at school on old IBM machines (about 20 years ago), when Snake was around. You were like a firefighter and had to put out fires. You looked at the scene from an aerial view and had to drop water and put in buffers to stop the fire from spreading and watch for wind changes. It was a very basic game, but I wish I could remember what it was called. All I can remember was the colours, and the crosses you put on the screen and that it was very square.

I was thinking something like that, or Mystic Quest Legend but I'm not sure on that one.

 

[OMGMOO]

There was a game on the sega mega drive/genesis that you were a racoon or a possum or something, possibly wearing armour. It was 2d. you could charge up and rocket in a certain direction. You could hang from trees/ other horizontal lines with your tail.

Cookie to whoever know what the hell im talking about. I'm sure i didnt imagine playing it haha.

EDIT: FOUND IT!!!!!!1111!1!!1! Mega thanks to the OP for starting a thread like this and reminding me to look for a game that I remember playing as a kid, but couldnt find any evidence of existing, post 1997

In case anyone was wondering: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocket_Knight_Adventures

I vaguely remember a game about some kind of magical space circus on the N64, where you went though all these weird worlds, like a sci-fi B movie one, and one on a giant cube that rotated.

Also some game where you where a robot who shot paint also on the N64.

Can't remember there names now though .

 

[Rewold]

I can't remember the name of my first PS1 game..In it I think you were a 10-year-old boy with a gun that shoots bubbles or something similar. Some of the enemys were bats I think. I think it was a FPS.

Then there was this another game my brothers used to play on the PS1 (Game we bought with the PS1). It was a 3rd person shooter and it had co-op. The bulelts the guns shot looked the same as the fire balls in super mario bros which mario could shoot after he ate something.. Also one of the bosses were a huge turtle which my brothers could never beat.

 

[Marter]

It was a Spider-man side scroller for either the NES or SNES. I played it at my hair cutting place when I was about 4 years old.

 

[randomsix]

I have ONE game i cannot remember the name of, but it was incredibly old (8 years ago?) and you controlled a tank, it was set in the kinda future, cos i remember...lasers and the like. I only played the demo, but it was quite hard, and it was a snow level. Thats all i remember

Battletanx son. On the n64 and came in a green cartridge. I played it so much I still remember most of the levels.
5 tankbucks acquired anyone?

 

[Chappy]

KaiRai's description kind of reminded me of what I believe was Grandia 1, though I was young and only played it a little so I wouldn't take my word of that.

The game I can't remember the name of was based in space, Humans were at war with an alien race (You played the aliens) and humans had destroyed your homeworld. It had a giant space station on the first/ tutorial mission and seemed to have a thing for Wormholes. I think there was a sequel to this game where you could play as either the aliens or humans but I can't be to sure of that.

*forgot to add - I think the space game was on the PS1.

*Found it - Colony Wars.*

I think you may be thinking of Starshot - Space Circus Fever on the N64.


I remember this game on the NES that I want to play again. You started as a knight, I think. During the game you got other outfits, like a thief and such. Villagers would attack you on sight when dressed as a thief. I'm fairly sure it was one of those games where you could go to the end too soon and get stuck as well.

Another game I remember also involved changing outfits and powers. I'm fairly sure you could get a skateboard and gain some weird superpowers. Also on the NES.

Oh, and there was a game that I think involved lightsabers on the NES. Or at least it was extremely sci-fi and not very well known. I know it's not a Star Wars title.

Sorry for being so vague with these descriptions, but if I knew any more, I'd have found these games by now.

 

[Mechsoap]

firstly i miss the old stylish timeless design that made the game feel infinate big

 

[C117]

There was some game I played many years ago on my dads friends SNES. All I really remember is that it was completely in 2D, it was an RPG, and I ran around in a pretty dark forest with lots of blueish creatures (I believe they were wolves) jumping out on me. Then I came to some kind of ruins, where a princess was walking back and forth on a ledge...

I hope someone might know what the game was called, because I would really like to play it again.

 

[Doitpow]

Some really old game on the PC, kind of like the original Ninja-Gaiden.
Little black ninja guy.
There were red guys with clubs as enemies, then you went to this graveyard and fought a giant chinese dragon.
You could also collect little yellow things which let you throw magic shurikens.
Final boss was a big red Guy called Sashika (i think), he had a big cleaver.

PLEASE SOMEONE REMEMBER THIS GAME, I'VE BEEN SEARCHING FOR IT FOR YEARS!

 

[Optimus Hagrid]

I remember a game I played on the Playstation at a friends house ages back, which you took control of a bullet or a missle and had to guide it through an obstacle course to the end.

I'm not too bothered about it though, I found all my distant childhood games, including The Neverhood, Rats!, Super Mario All-Stars, Street Racer and some more I don't remember.
