Hunting the internet White Whales...Together!!!!

If you can find this game your a total legend.

It was an old game on the PS1.
At the start you were in a forest.
You collected monsters or at least had to fight them.
It's a game when you walk around, you can't see the monsters but they still jump out to fight you.
I THINK you played as a young boy, but I can't remember.

Strangely enough, the first thing that came to my mind was the old Jade Cocoon games.

OH ANOTHER VIDEOGAME! Also for PC, played 10 years ago. You are in a plane, fighting against other planes, and sometimes tanks. There were bosses there, I remember one boss was a BIG plane that blew out of some stone structure after destroying some flying slopes of rock that flew around it, and another was a building, that when destroyed, turned into a robot. There was A LOT of corridors and secret airlocks that you could travel through. It was in a first-person perspective, it had nature-ish landscape, and the graphics were a bit poor, but I thought they were good at the time. It also had different weapons, and now I remember a boss INSIDE one of the airlocks. It was a crystal or something I think...

Second one less vague than the first, but still... I sould really appreciate it if someone found them

Could it be Terminal Velocity?

Thanks dude, you got it! Don't know how from the small amount of details I gave.

Quite excited now, I can remember being young and running home to play this game, even though I had no idea what I was doing.

You've got a good memory then.Just watched the first 5 minutes on a Let's Play (I swear there's a Let's Play on anything) and within those 5 minutes your in a forest like I said. Thanks for telling me.

Weeeelll... There was this one game I used to love/hate back when VHS was pretty OK. I remember quite vividly playing it, just not enough to find it in google...

First of all, it was creepy. Real creepy. Not in the "Ok, we are going to specifically try to scare people" kind of way, though... It's hard to describe. The world felt weird.

So, it was a 3D platformer, on an old console...N64, maybe? Not sure. It had a fairly cutesy aesthetic (Which was probably for the best, given the quality of then-'realistic' graphics), which went with an equally cutesy sound scheme- lots of 'beep's and 'boing's.

Music, however, ranged from cheery to downright scary.

Now, I know the premise involved space-travel. The 'hub' consisted of a whole bunch of hologram people sitting in a circle around a hologram planet- it worked like a menu, you'd select a person to, say, go down to a planet.

Oh, one last thing- you had a companion. It looked kinda like a mouse rocket, and could fly.

...Ugh, this is frustrating. I remember so much of the game, but cannot find anything...

EDIT: Oh! I remember another thing: The first level was set on a beach, and scattered all over the place were changerooms. To get to a higher point on the map, you'd have to enter a changeroom, and literally get kicked out, by a screaming lady.

Second is a light-gun game (think Time Crisis) where you played at a cop, but there were sensors around where you stood so that you could move IRL to control your character on screen (i.e. moving in and out of cover). I was blown away by how advanced it seemed.

The second, I've played as well, in an arcade in france . I think it may be called Enforcer or something.

That's close, but so far as I can tell, the Lethal Enforcers series never included a cabinet which actively tracked the user. In order to enter cover in the game, you actually had to move (such as crouching or leaning).

I've got two, but they're not video games:

One of 'em's a song I heard a long time ago and really liked. I only know part of the lyrics, it goes something like "all signs around say move ahead, can someone please explain to me your effervescent (I think that's what they said) knack of speed". Can't find it anywhere. Help?

...snip...

If anyone can help me out with these two...I'd be eternally grateful. Help meh!

The song wouldn't happen to be " certain shade of green, by incubus?

Edit: ninja'd... several times :/

I remember an old game demo I had when I wad a small kid. It was a platformer that took place in a techy setting where arms could come down with a canister on the end, and when that canister a robot popped out. There would be neat stuff like spikes where the robots could be impaled and use like bridges. It had a little green guy (looked like the ones from toy story but with one eye) messing with a lever for a loading screen.

If you wanted to know, the demo was stolen during a robbery of my house while the family wasn't home. Who the fuck steals game demos? Seriously? I was too young to remember the name though. If someone could identify this game and point me to it I would be grateful. It was for console, PSX era I believe. It could be PS2 as well.

Sounds a lot like Wild9 to me. You had a plasma thing you could pick crates and guys up with.

That's the one, thanks for the help. I had been searching for that game for years.

Lol you're welcome. First game I got on PS1. Still tryna complete it, brilliant game though.

 

[shadeira]

There was this one game, and everything is like blocks, and it's this giant procedurally generated world.Also there are exploding green phallus monsters. I forget what it's called, but it's an indie game, I'm not sure many people would of heard of it.

well..this is really hard... and odd - isn't it odd , I also remember a game very similar to yours, but there were also pigs and some kind of strange sea creatures....
I honestly can't remember ...maybe some crazy project by only one guy

Ah, you're thinking of LEGO Star Wars.

That's it !
"Return of the mineworker" to be exactly ;-)

 

[DevilWithaHalo]

Got one myself that's been bugging me for a little while. Most of this things are "I think" are the case from what I can remember...

*PC Game
*RPG-Sci Fi
*You explore city zones and at least one archeology dig site, seperated by large bunker like doors
*You play as an "actual gamer", who has been transported into the body of your avatar to solve some dilema
*It designed it's own language with "black boxes with lines portruding from them"
*3rd person perspective
*5+ years old at least

Keep drawing a blank beyond those few key things. Most search (when I can figure out how to phrase things) don't warrant results.

 

[chuckey]

ok this might be hard but here it goes.

It is a PS1 game and basically your a guy i think and your in a village and you can make it to this gate or something. I'm not sure if it was in first person or not. Anyway it is nighttime and in one of the houses there is a skeleton lady i think. I know this game isn't a dream because my dad got it twice for me. And i think there was a map and it looked like it was a medieval map and it was brown.

I know this might not help but I would love to know the name of this game.

I had a dinosaur game as a kid, and I've been trying to remember what it was for the last couple weeks.
You were on an island, and there was a nursery with a bunch of nests that you needed to do tasks to get the baby dinosaurs to hatch.
I remember that there was a minigame in it called "Galloping Gallimimuses", if that helps anyone.

 

[Araksardet]

An old game I player a while ago, it was a 2D platformer for the PC where you had a little phase gun that electrified terrain pieces and destroyed them. You also had a jetpack. Lots of little interactive bits scattered around, too. Something like Jumper or Jumpman or something (but not actually Jumpman - I checked that in Wikipedia, and it's not that).

Could it be Terminal Velocity?

O_O You're my new hero <3

Maybe Hellbender too, those two were practically indistinguishable. Also, both awesome.

And there was me thinking that someone was trolling with a Pokemon description

 

[AbstractJuggler]

Could this possibly be "Plane Crazy!"? I loved that damn game.

I love you so much right now. That game was amazing! I have to find a copy of it.

 

[ajofflight]

I know I've posted twice, but I just remembered another "white whale" of mine. It's a film, about the filming of the black and white classic "Nosferatu", except (according to the movie) the actor who played the Count Orlok was a real life vampire.

Anyone remember this old gem?

I haven't seen it, but after a quick google search, it looks like it might be Shadow of the Vampire.
