And another: DOS or very early windows game. Basically a platformer in which the main character was a woman in red. The early levels were a mountainside, as I recall.

There's this game I played about 8 years ago. It resembles Street Fighter, but I can't find it when I search for games under the "fighting game" genre. Perhaps it's because I can barely remember anything from it. So it's bassically like a typical "fighting game"- there are two characters fighting each other. If I can remember correctly, there aren't many characters in the game, but I can barely remember what they look like. If my memory isn't failing me... one of the male characters had a blonde hair, sort of emo-style. If I've grasped correctly, the main character is a girl, though I don't think the game had any storyline whatsoever. Could anyone tell me a few games who answer this very brief and useless description? I might actually find it. Thanks in advance.
PS: The characters in the game are anime-like.
I should probably also add that the game itself seemed anime-like, but I can't say for sure. It was much before I got into anime stuff, so yeah.

I remember playing a game that had a similar playing style to final fantasy. The main character was a male detective who took photos of monsters before fighting them, he could also transform into different creatures, I think one of them was something to do with American Indians and fire. He had a friend who used a guitar as a weapon, he would use serenade which he plays a song and the shoots the enemie.

I made an account just to ask this question. There's a.. I want to say it is an RTS game that I played a number of years ago. Nothing too fancy on the graphics side - top down view for the map, sprites for characters and such. Basically you had a castle that constantly generated units.. and you could designate those units to move to certain spots, to either block a tile or just stack up (more units meant stronger 'army', and as you got more in the stack the 'icon' for the army would change). The goal was to attack and destroy the castles of the other players. I think you were able to build farms and such with your army stacks, which would improve the number of units constantly generated at your castle, but I can't be too sure.

The only thing besides that that I can remember 100% for sure is one of the levels or 'scenarios' had everybody's castle as a like, fast food joint. And your soldiers were small fries, then became big fries when the stacks got big enough, and then a hamburger.

Anybody have any idea what game I'm talking about?
Could be Heroes of Might and Magic ?
Nope, wasn't HoMM. The battles were all done on the same map as the movement - basically you'd move a guy into another stack and they'd start fighting and losing 'numbers' that were the amount of units they had. And it was pretty fast.. you didn't actually specify what units to build, they just kinda popped out of the castle or the farms, if I recall correctly.

I also think the game was free, if that helps narrow it down some. It is fairly old, I want to say at least 5 years or more.

There is this old game maybe about 8-10 years ago i used to play. It was allot like Age of Empires cause it was a overhead strategy game where you could build barracks and town halls but, it was monsters lizard men, orcs, stone giants, squid people, and a whole bunch of others like that. and you could go around and find stray monsters that would join you and build a second barracks that built their kind of monsters you could find items that would increase attack or even control on of your enemies opponents. i loved this game and i really hope someone can figure out what it is called i have been searching for it for 2 years.
The Game had several races and these are the ones i remember:
-Humanoid Lizards
-Humans
-Ogres
-Rock Trolls
-An Alien that looked alot like Zerg
-and there is one more but i cant really describe him



I have already found what it is, you should really try it anyone who reads this, it is called Seven Kingdoms II: The Fryhtan Wars.

I used to play this game when I was a kid. It's a PS1 adventure game I believe. I don't remember how your character looks like but I do know that in one of the levels you walk in a small village where only a couple of houses are located on an island I believe. In every house there are a few characters that you can talk to in order to make progress, they look very goofy and speak gibberish I think. The game's graphics are very similar to Crash Bandicoot.

I remember playing this game when I was younger, it was a fair few years ago, where you used to walk around a mall, boat and town killing loads of innocent people for no particular reason. I remembered this game when watching Grown Ups the film the other day and saw the scene where the kids are playing a game which looked similar, but apparently it was from a movie. If anyone could help me I'd be really greatful!
Postal 2?

I'm looking for an old game i cant remember, i'm not sure if it was also on Windows but i played on the old Mac.

You are flying on stick? or an bird, cant remember but you have to fly over the top on the other birds and then you can kill them, each level gets harder and the birds are getting faster.

Not sure if they were looking like a bird, and i am also not sure if the enemies were also flying on a stick.

I think it was a Egyptian Theme. Like in some of temples or piramydes that's what it look like,

Can someone help me out?

thanks!

If not Street Fighter, then one of the SNK games maybe? Art of Fighting? King of Fighters? One of the crossovers like Capcom vs SNK? Or a different franchise like Guilty Gear?

I remember i used to play a game when i was just a kid. it was a sega mega drive game.
i remember the main character was some kind of wizard. I also remember there was a mansion in the first level and in the second one was in some kind of cave where giant spideres would appear.
there also was a face in the bottom screen (it appeared damaged as we were hit)
i believe it was a sega mega drive game...
i really want to play this game again but i just cant remember the name.. help please?
Hmm... it doesn't ring a bell but three Megadrive games I can think of where you play as a wizard are Wiz n' Liz, Flink, and The Immortal. Could it be any of those?

...a PC game It was a car game of sorts driving around and arena leaving a coloured trail behind you and you killed other players by getting them to drive into the trail you leave behind. I think the cars and arena were mostly black (or at least the version i had was) and the trail and 'walls' coming from the cars were really bright colours depending on team etc. Like red, orange, green, blue....
Troy, I just realized that your question, the one that started this massive, epic thread, never got answered. Did you ever identify the game you were looking for?
Tron.

I need help remembering a arcade game from the late 80's to early 90's. It was a marital arts/ninja type game where you fought 1 on 1 and the people had different weapons. I remember one was a lady with a fan that threw knives out of it. Any thoughts? People have tried telling me King of Fighters but I do not recall the graphics being that good.
Mortal Kombat? lmao

--Edit-- Not BM Tron that i saw.. although from what im seeing this is a Tron style game.. even if it seems to have vanishedfrom exsistance
troyrich said:
Just looked it up on Wiki.. this does look very similar, but i can't see something that is quite right, it would be late ninties early naughties if anything and hte only Tron in that time was FPS....

I've been trying to remember this game I played a little while back. I think it was released in or around 2005 and was on some sort of handheld, like gameboy advanced or color, though I'm pretty sure it was for the advanced. I don't remember a whole lot about it, but it was a medieval type game in the sense that it had knights and stuff like that. I remember that as you progressed through levels you would often find a new obtainable character, that in order to acquire you would first have to have gotten somebody they knew at some point in their lives to bring them to your side of the fight. It was also like a grid based movement system in the sense that you only got so many moves per character per turn. One character I do remember is a little girl you get that has the ability to transform into a dragon by using one of her like fifty crystals that she has in her inventory. I guess its a little to go on but not a lot, so if anyone has any ideas about what the name might be, let me know. Thanx!

I can't remember the name of this game I played about 8 years ago on PC. It's a fantasy third-person role-playing game where you can choose between being on the dark or light side (this is the most original feature of the game). There are 2 icons representing these sides (red and blue) on a black screen when creating a new game, I can clearly remember that. There are several characters to choose on both sides. These characters vary in skills/weapons and races. You can change characters before every mission, so you dont have to stick with the same one through the whole game. You can upgrade the skills of your chacters, and can also change the armor and weapons between several options. Now, if you choose the light side, you have to fight the eligible races of the dark side, and vice versa. Can't really remember the story but I think when you choose the light side you start off as a human male warrior. You get the other characters as you go on with the missions. On the dark side you complete the orders of some sort of war goddess. There's so much about this rpg I can remember but can't find the damn title anywhere on the internet. Pls help me if you know which game I'm talkin about.
