I remember playing an old FPS (think Duke Nukem 3D graphics quality) with a sci-fi setting. I have almost no memory of it beyond the fact that one of the weapons you could use was a sort of mine that would expand into a chest-high pillar when you deployed it, and would explode if you walked into it.

Oh yeah, and I think it had a multiplayer mode.

I'm sure this vast font of information will be all you need to identify it.

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.

Is Dinosaur Adventure 3-D what you're looking for?

I have one I want to see if people can help me figure out. I think I know its name, but I'm not entirely sure. I played a demo, then rented the actual game. Couldn't actually get a hang of it though.

In the demo you started off with a command center of sorts, and built up a few trucks. You had to design the trucks for specific roles, which ranged from mining, to hauling, to pew-pew. You had to build miner trucks, then mine the resources next to you. Then you would be able to build trucks that had guns and the such, I think.

I think it was Warzone something? Not entirely sure. That game was my first taste on RTS games though, and for being a nineties game IMO it added a bit of complexity that blew my eight-year-old mind. (Eighteen now) I want to see if that game ever spawned sequels or anything. Dx

Is it Strife?

That was a cool game.

Actually it sounds more like Sin

PS1 game that was a dungeon crawler where you just have to keep going to deeper levels. There was a town where you could buy stuff out of the dungeon. I remember the equipment had a durability system and could break. Glass weapons were strong but broke easily. And your character showed the gear that was equipped(which I remember being really cool considering no other game I'd played had that feature).

Vague as all hell I know D:

Sounds like the PS1 version of Diablo 1.

Was it possibly "Krush Kill n' Destroy"?

Also, a Christian game that has you attacking "heretics" with different coloured swords: gold, brown(ish), and I think silver. Now I know that game exists.

Didn't see an answer to this one yet, but I think you might be talking about Catechumen:

[Weaver]

mine is an RTS where you have to control a mage and summon creatures and to gain mana you have to park a creature on a kind of fountain(looked like a stone disk if i remember). And if during the campaign your mage gets older over time if i remember correctly.

now i will read through all the posts and try to help if i can.

Was it, by chance, Sacrifice?

Yes! Thank you!

A Snes (or Nes, I think Snes though) sidescrolling beat-'em up where the first and second player play as two big beefy men, one using a swrod, the other an axe.
All I can remember is that a few levels in there was a castle with a gargoyle in it, and it was very brown.

Mine is a Webcomic. I remember quite a bit about it, to an extent. Faces, certain plot points, the main characters, ect.

-The Art went from really bad, to really, really good throughout it's lifetime.
-There were 4 characters in the protagonist party.
-The main character hates killing, has amnesia, wields a large sword, and was part of a secret military experiment that killed 20,000 people (a whole town) before losing his memory.
-The next character to come up is a quarter vampire who occasionally succumbs to blood lust.
-The third character is a grizzled mercenary with an eyepatch.
-The last character is an assassin who was originally meant to kill the main group, but he defected after they captured him.
-The main character kills someone accidentally at one point while having hallucinations (this happens early on)
-The main character finds a possesed Oni mask, and it possesses him (giving him blackouts, he doesn't know what happens) and goes out to kill people.

I loved it while it was there, and I've been trying to find it for years, but I just can't.

I don't remember much, but I know it was a 2-d fighter for the arcade. It was sometime in the 90s when I played it. I remember it having over a dozen fighters. The art style was anime inspired with bright colors. I'm also certain it wasn't any of the big name fighters.

Wow, theres nothing better than tracking down a game and having it be just as awesome as you remember, especially when you never managed to complete it when you were younger!

Spent years trying to find the names of Illusion of Gaia and Another World, but when I did... What brilliant games!! When the music started in Illusion of Gaia, and when I saw the monster in Another World, the nostalgia factor went into overload. Might go replay them actually.

I have been looking for another game too actually, more for curiosities sake because PS1 era games don't seem to age well, excepting RPG's.

It's a PS1 game where you play as a police gunship (maybe as a car too at some points? can't remember) and it's set in the future. It was all in 3D btw. There was a sequel I believe too. I also think you had a big city to fly around, but also sometimes had quite open terrain outside the city. Can't remember much else. Think it might have had gunship in the title too.

Cheers!

Actually it wasn't. It was a little more graphically. I actually think I've found it in a game called Warzone 2100. Or at least it's close enough to the original game to get me to dig it. The PS1 version I remember playing though was a lot blockier and clunky though. Gave it some charm. =X

I have just remembered an indie game that I played 6-7 years ago. This game has you gather clouds or something like that, can't really remember. There was absolutely no fighting and you could float above the ground in the clouds. It was 3D perhaps but I'm not sure. And it had really soothing music... I wouldn't be surprised if the game had a word "clouds" in it.

[i don't know]

I used to watch this one cartoon when I was extremely young. The only thing I remember is that it's about some guy with a green sweater, a few strands of hair, and a roundish large nose. I don't even know what the other characters look like. Does anyone know what this cartoon is?! I really want to understand some of the plot.

 

[HalBuzzkill]

Topdown shooter, scrolls from top,
player is some kind of ship battling aliens i think with a variety of huge-ass bosses,
played it on a real old pc, like windows 95 old. Name started with an A i think.
I used to play it all the time but i've forgotten the name or even the story(if any) after some 10 years of not having the computer it came on anymore.
