okay, so i'm looking for a game that i used to play on a windows 98 computer. i think it was called neon, but that might have been the makers of the game. the game was a side scroller like the old mario game, you wore a yellow shirt and had short black hair (i think) there was also caterpillars that would kill you. there was a specific level where spiky balls would fly at you and you had to dodge them as you ascended up the level. another part of the game was that you can move a gray round boulder, this was helpful to beat levels. this is all i can remember.

Ok guys, I'm counting on you! I'm not even sure if I'm remembering this game correctly lol. Anyhow, it's a game I played on a playstation demo disc (the original playstation, for clarification). I don't even remember the purpose of the game, but I know the purpose of the demo, you could play two player. From what I can recall, we were little men either with futuristic outfits on or we were robots, and we really spent most of the time bouncing around on various platforms. But if you hit the right spot, you could make the screen rotate to the left/right, and you could knock the other player into a trap like spikes or lava. Essentially, the stage was just a big square, and you could move it left or right. The last person standing won, so we spent most of the time rotating the stage to try to kill each other.

I know that's not a lot to go off of, but I'm crossing my fingers!

Basically, I can't remember much of it, what i do remember was i reckon it was a side scroller game, but you had swords axes and possibly magic, the mobs dropped bags of gold or money and after defeating a boss there would be loads of them and you'd walk over them to pick them up, i think you could get keys aswell and open chests i have no clue what it is, i think it had a gothic theme to it, was a great game,
thanks!
Magic Sword? Knights of the Round? One of the Golden Axe series perhaps?

HELP I cant remember the name of this game and I only remember a tiny facts about it also I've tried typing everything into search engines D:



- It was a birds eye 2D racing game
- The slowest Character was called Andrew and he shot rockets (I think a red car)
- The fastest character was called Eric and he dropped mines (Blue Car)
- A medium paced character called Ray used boosts (Red car)
- A girl/woman who's name started with S (Think it was Sadie) who had boosts too (Yellow car)
- I cannot remember the system I played it on.
- I was fairly young so am going to say it's a 90's game

Be grateful if someone puts a name to the game haunting my mind :p

Thank you

One game.
You play as a white ish ninja with a dog as your companion in a post apocalyptic newyork type setting.
Fight through dudes who throw manhole covers at you and these fast ninjas. You can throw shuriken and your dog can attack them aswell
There are also these certain manhole covers that will shoot up into the air on a pillar of fire. After defeating how ever many enemy
Ninja you get a bonus round that entails you falling through the air between two pillars as a few series of ninja jump by you and you throw
Shuriken at them.

I miss this game terribly and I found it once in a rogers video just before it closed but I was too broke to buy it.

Actually, I think Cloroxbb was on the right track. There was a sequel to Shinobi in arcades called Shadow Dancer that has a white dog:

Okay this is probably a really long shot but I can't remember much about it.

It was a mystery solving game. You were a sister and brother team (I think they were brunettes or redheads, can't remember exactly) and you were solving cases around the town you lived in.

I remember one of the bad guys was a kid named Moriarity ...

It came in a green box with a violet stripe along the bottom, and was either on the old style floppy discs or the newer 3.5 discs... I just remember there was a lot of them.

I wish I could remember more, but it's been over 10 years since I've played it. I think it was played on Windows 3.1..............................................................












I think it's the same game i have been looking for, but don't really know, i remember at first there was a spaceship or a dragon, can't remember witch one, and two cartoon thingy going around and there was sea and mountains and stuff, it's really getting on my nerves that i can't remember what game it was, i have been trying to figure it out almost a week

Hey guys, I'm new here, but while searching for an old game I found this thread. I've had no luck finding it and I was hoping someone here might know.

(Some of these details may be distorted or not completely accurate but I'm going off of what I can remember.)

I remember playing this PC game around 1997-2001, and I believe it was through the old Jukebox Shockwave player. The character was a guy with long shoulder length hair, possibly like dreadlocks, that were either green or ginger. He seemed to be an average guy on a personal mission, And I recall him having like goggles pushed back through the front of his hair, and he may have been dressed strangely (I seem to remember almost like his clothes didn't really match well). The game was sort of pixellated looking, but the graphics weren't incredibly bad for its time. This guy had a ship and was exploring space, but I can't remember if his ship crashed/ran out of fuel, or if he was simply adventuring various planets, but Its seems like there was the option to go to other planets almost like in star fox, but more 2d looking. Also, the only planet I can remember him exploring was this odd desolate sandy mars-like planet(Which could have been mars, or a made up planet). Other characters may have been around, but if so they were probably like weird cartoon-y aliens. If anything close to these details comes to mind, even if its not exact, please share. I'm so eager to find this game, and I hope someone can help.

I apologize if this has already been answered somewhere in this thread, but I have searched hard and couldn't find anything.

Thanks, guys.
