Hi guys.
I have a game in my mind, and im dying to get the name, but i cant find it myself so i have to ask ya. I hope that someone will help me.
Its a lot like GRADIUS. Same way u pick up powerups. Use em when u have enough for the weapon you want, but it had more wpns. plasma, missiles, magma, laser, option and other that i cant remember.
So the game is 2d side-scrolling space shooter. You can play with 3 chars:
1st is male: Strong muscle guy. I thing he was called Gym, but im not 100% sure.
2nd is female: if u play her u get bonus speed if i remember correct.
3rd is professor looking like guy: his bonus is that u start with plasma weapon upgrade.
There was insane option when u choose the difficulty.
I think it was Emulated the exe file was called sp.exe. i've played it around 10 years ago along with blib and blob
Ok im throwing everything that there is in my head about this game so i hope someone will help me . Tnx

I remember a game I used to play in elementary school on the PC where you went around collecting parts of a vehicle and at the end you went against a boss with the vehicle you created...I also remember monkeys and springs for some reason.

There was a demo I played forever ago on ps2 where you and your buddy are sitting on a military plane and he's talking about your times in Cambodia and then you either crash or chute to this snowy base and there are alien slugs and he gets one on his face and dies. It was a survival horror TPS. Anyone?

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.

Starshot: Space Circus Fever

I found this forum while I was once more doing a search for a game that must be from the 90's.

It was a 2d computer game that could be played at same time by 2 players in a platform style.
Everything remind me like a world made from computer parts. You had a chip that should kill another parts like floppy disks and stuff. You had Bosses harder to fight.
I believe you attack with punches and might somehow use a combo or high power.
You level up and gather experience from kills which make you stronger, and so it's important to share that stuff when in 2 player mode.

It was kinda simple as a game but i never found it again. A friend who played with me which is 1 year older came up with a possible name "people", but with such a name it's hard to found it with some google research, also might even not be the real name...


If someone know what i'm talking about ill gladly thank you since i can't find it anywhere for years.

Edit: Found it! Electronic Popple

This is a PC game from the 90s.

A spaceship finds itself stranded in an unknown solar system. Because of this the player needs to start colonizing nearby planets for ressources. As the game moves on the plot thickens in various way, the stranded spaceship isn't quite alone in the system, and the player needs to adjust his goals as the story moves forwards.

The game is an economic building/management game, with a lot of focus on exploration and ressource management.

It has various views controlled from the spaceship:
Planet Management, top down sim city building view
Planet scouting, small arcade sequence where the player controls a recon craft. Top down view.
Science, player selects technology for research.
System navigation, player plots a course for the mother spaceship to fly.


The special twist of this game is that it combines management gameplay with a well paced storyline, that very directly influences the core game. The player is faced with various missions and tasks that needs to be accomplished, sometimes with a time limit. The game sometimes feels like one long tutorial although a very enjoyable one.


I don't remember the name and haven't been able to search for it.

there was a game i played in the late 90s early 2000s. you were a space pilot sent on various misssions and on one of the missions a space with passengers was destroyed and you were accused of sabotage. the space craft was awesome had a emp gun and other weapons i cant remember. please help

 

[Of Odium]

I would like to post a new game and try to revive my old, unanswered one:

This game is within the 90s and, maybe, early 2000s. First person, with movement transitions and mobility almost exact to the original Myst, though, at least in part, completely urban though unpopulated. No cinema (That I watched, anyway), and the only animation was of a pale, swooping, pterodactyl creature flying in and quickly out of the scenes as I entered them.
There was a dark city, an ineffectual flashlight that could be turned on and off.
I remember one room, which was huge, making me think of it as an airplane hanger, and it contained (only?) a 2-foot gadget right in the middle of it, which may have looked like a thimble with little slots attached to it. I remember entering this room and seeing the flying creature experimentally put a marble into it, then I watched the machine spit out the marble from a slot and the creature take the sphere away and fly.


This other game was created to teach proper diabetes care. It's a scroller, the player is an animal walking through grass, jumping over tall wooden or stone things, and picking up various fruit. The boss was a giant anthropomorphic mouse that seemed indestructible. Oh, there may have been other critters to fight. This game is, at minimum, 7 years old.

hey guys i got a game ive been trying to think of for a long time i think i recall it being on the dreamcast. it was a game that i can best describe as a super smash bros kind of game, but you fought with your friends and there were different characters and there was one level where a metal thing came down and crusher whoever was stuck in it. i also remember a female character who had an umbrella and another character who had goofy/nerdy glasses (it might be the same character) i appreciate the help its been killing meee

 

[Matthew Kirkpatrick]

yeah, kinsley, that was one of my favorite pc games ever. its called Tachyon: The Fringe.

 

[geniapenk]

I can remember a lot about the game but not actually the title. I've been looking for it for quite a bit now and would appreciate any help.

The basic idea was that you were stranded on this planet because your spaceship or something crashed there. First-person perspective, fairly primitive graphics but not ASCII-level, think it ran on DOS. Some version of it had FMV graphics, the others didn't. It was a really complex game that featured sortof-accurate medical procedures that you had to do in order to keep your character alive if he got wounded in a certain way, and you could get blinded in one eye.

The objective of the game was to kill or otherwise get... I believe they were keys or keycards off of the other people, all on the same spaceship that you were, and use them to escape the planet on I believe a rocket. And the planet exploded, at the end.

Thanks in advance, if it is found.

I believe the game you are looking for is called "Deus".

This game was so damn hard. I remember I think I mostly died of Septicemia or something similar. I never did get very far in it and definitely didn't complete it.

Hi all, The game i'm searching for is from at a guess between say 1997 and 2002, I thought it was around the same time as WarWind came out, I remember playing it on a Demo Disk back in the day. (time frame could be slightly out but i believe this to be about right)

Its a Top Down multi directional Space shooter, I remember it being based on a nice green map, plenty of trees around. You were in control of a (?)round spaceship and it was controlled with either wasd or arrow keys and shoot and aim with mouse from memory. The style of gameplay is not dissimilar to Continuum, however i'm sure it was mission based. I remember there being upgrades and stuff for the ship.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

 

[Gungadin]

Ok, here's one I'm dying to find. Difficult to describe enough to identify. It was a 2D action/adventure game for the PC where you are a little dude (maybe alien/creature) with a sword. I know it was pre-1995 and want to say was 1989-1993 release. I remember as you level up/advance, you got a better and better sword. I think it eventually is a fiery sword nearly as big as you. I think I recall your character having kind of a winged helmet. The game was side view (or profile-view like the original mario brothers, but weith better graphics). Your character would traverse the screen (would scroll to left or right) on ground that resembled something like donkey kong - you could climb up or down etc. Overall it was a bit of a maze. The levels were vaguely jungle like, but kind of alien jungle-y. I think the objective was to eventually rescue a princess. The game had save-games, as you couldn't site down and win the game in one sitting. I thought the name had a sci-fi/fantasy made-up name and I want to think it started with "Z", but I could be way off on that.

If anybody can get this based off my description, you're amazing!
Thanks!

There is a game i really want to find out as i cant remember if it was a dream or if it was real because everytime i mention it i feel it isnt a game at all but maybe one of you guys may have seen it.

it put you in an office block and you wake up as like a green crocodile or something and you have to find out what has happened to everyone as they are all crocodiles too. i think there are guns and keycards and stuff like that in it too from what i can remember. there is a lift at the end of the hallway for you to change floors. it is a sort of sidescrolling, scrolling both ways

if anyone can tell me what game this is it will be so helpful
Thanks

[alsmith16]

I'm trying to remember a game from my childhood, in the 90s, it was an old pc game (on floppy disc I think), where you chose between two factions (ive got the thought in my head the factions were male and female, as I think I can remember the gender symbols when you chose between them). The last time I played it was a good 15/16 years ago. It has been bugging me for months now, any help will be appreciated!!!!!!
