That Game you can't Remember

[Razmiran]

I'll throw an easy one out there.

Can anyone tell me absolutely what ALL of the Commander Keen games were, and where I may find them?

I KNOW that the Steam complete pack doesn't have them all.

There's a site called "Best Old Games" just google it, it should have all 6. (And 7/3.5, but I disregard that as a Keen game, because it sucked harder balls than Mirror's Edge).

I remember this game on the original Play Station, where you were underground, you were an ant, and there were these big bugs, who were bullying you. I don't remember the exact details, but it was something along those lines. Any ideas?

Sounds like "A bugs life", based on a movie

Yes! I just looked it up on youtube, that's it! Thank you very much. I've been trying to find out what it was for months! Thank you very much, kind sir.

Another game. I remember theres this big 7-foot tall ghost thing, and you have a sword, and some projectile weapon, and he creates gust's of wind that damage you, and you have to hide behind a giant boulder to be safe, then get out, and either rush him with the sword, or attack from afar with the projectiles.

Damn, I feel like an absent-minded 70-year old.

EDIT: I found out. It was "Lord of the Rings: Return of the King".

 

[loooooowwww]

I have 2.

the first one is to do with rome. you play two roles in the game one as a fighter and the other stealth the stealth bit is all in rome and you pick where you want to go (to start the next mission) on a really bad map that shows the forum etc. cant remember what you do with the soldier but i assume its fighting anyway it was awesome and now i really want to play it again all of a sudden it was defo on the ps2 i rember the graphics were 'unreal'

the second one is to do with spartans i think its a hack and slah and you fight maybe 50 - 100 enemies at one time at the start your defending a city but you get told by a god to go to a different city to get a better spear from some tomb when you get there its all fighting and then theres a boss battle with a multy headed hydra(is that what there called ya know you chop off one head and another replaces it) anyway you beat that and head back to the first city when you get there its been ransacked in your absence and you get blamed cos you were the cities best warrior anyway thats all i remember.

First one is shadow of rome.
Second one is...ARGHHH i cant rem... Spartan total warrior... I think[/quot

haha sweet! thanks man im gonna play these asap. great thread!.

I remember once reading a review (I have no idea WHEN it was) of a jet flight simulator. While I'm usually not into this kind of games THIS one (according to the review) had nonlinear champaign and "kinda" rpg elements in which you had multiple pilots.
Those pilots could also eject over enemy terrain get captured and tortured (and that gave you proper icon in the main base).

Sadly it's a game I never played...
I can't find the exact magazine in which I read the review, but this game has been kinda stalking me for like 2 years. I have NO IDEA what was it's name or was it's flying part even good. But at the time I was reading the article it fired me up so much that I instantly wanted to buy it... only I was young and didn't have the money.

So yeah long story short. A 8/10 game that I would probably very like and yet never played it... ehhh...

Uhhh, now im pulling this one out of my google behind, but Chuck Yeager's Air Combat?

I checked and sadly it's not it. But nice try though.
I think the game I mentioned was closer to 2000-2004 (maybe bit older or younger). The sad thing is that normally I would just looks through EACH single copy of that magazine I have but I lost my older part of the collection somewhere (I think my mom threw it out back when I lived with my parents).
I guess I'll never have the chance to play that game .

No just watch them neither one is this the main thing i remember is some beach level where there were like giant fans that would blow you into the water also it had alot of lazers with cool graphics *back then* and missle launchers

 

[AMMO Kid]

It was this japanese gun-fu style game from the early 2000'z...

 

[Choppaduel]

pc game, 2003~, set in space, cartoon/anime art style, asteroids style combat, rpg elements with your ship, maybe some resource gathering, short name with one/two words. I can't remember anything else about it.

EDIT: I remembered something else, it had pretty sharp graphics (2D) and had boss battles.

 

[Gunjack65]

Some game that was for the N64 or the Gamecube.
You played a massive orange giant and you had to make the people living at the base of your hill happy, I remember there were things you could do to piss them off. One such way sticks out in my mind, where you slide down the hill directly through the village destroying pleanty of things in the process.

 

[Ulquiorra4sama]

Nothing comes to mind...
I see it like this:
If a game was worth remembering then i do, and if it wasn't then i erase it from my memory.
Simple as that

So yeah we all have that game that we loved to play but we forgot it's name. I had a game that was driving cars with guns on them to kill other cars with guns on them. It came on 2 CDs one blue and one orange, it was released in 1990-2003. It was awesome but i can't remember it's name. So post that game you forgot and try to figure out the names of other people's game to help them out.

i think you mean megarace 2

though its pretty hard to figure how you couldnt remember how annoying the announcer was in that game

 

[pyrosaw]

A Sega Genesis platformer where you played as a red dot. And a Sega CD game where you played as a basketball trying to launch yourself off your opponent into your hoop.

Adventure?

Close but the game is all cars i remember that no buses motor cycles etc it was a rare game cause ive only seen it once randomly renting it back somewhere between 1996-2002

 

[Jazzyjazz2323]

It was an early 2000s xbox game from japan you had your generic japanese hero except you got awesome guns and had to kill swarms of bug things and you got xp from them to upgrade them.

 

[Nomanslander]

i remember playing a game as a kid(1991-1996), it was a 3d shooter, all i can really remember was that the character you played as had an asian accent, and when you used certain things, he'd say, "thats why they call me mr fix it"

Shadow Warrior?

Unfortunately, I can't I.D. the one you are looking for, unless there is the slim chance you are thinking of the "Bug's Life" game. :/

However, I give you this...

...for helping me. I always did have a place on my hard-drive for #7, though it wasn't great.
