great thread yo~



I was wondering what game this is - Made around '90-'93'ish, although I'm sure there's many iterations of it. You clear level after level, where you try to get a ball from one part of screen to the other, by placing/constructing contraptions on the screen so that when you press "start", the ball starts to drop, rolls along your stuff you placed, or if you placed a spring it bounces, etc and the goal is to "design" the parts for the level so that the ball ends up @ the goal. I'm not sure if it was a ball but I remember that the object of the game was this design process of placing these thingies, and the only thing that makes sense would be a ball.

Think of it like a rudimentary physics simulator-ish thingy. It was pretty colorful iirc, reds and blues, yellows etc. I played it on the mac but I'm sure there was a PC version as well.

There are lots of games like that : ( But my favourite was called Bill's Tomato Game, I dunno if that's the one but if you like those kinds of games this one is epic

Well, I will give this thread a shot, I haven't been able to find this game for a decade now.

It was a soccer game for some sort of Nintendo IIRC where you could only play as Japan. You controlled one guy the rest was on AI. Each of your players as well the opposing teams had a special super shot, like transforming the ball into something. The whole game was really cartoonish with all sorts of funny stuff (on certain fields lightning would randomly strike players, or a tornado blow them off the field, or idle players sinking in the mud etc.)

The game consisted of 2 phases, first you could play 4 teams of each 4 regions (something like Asia, Africa, America, Europe) and if you have won enough games, you got to the world cup.

Could somebody help me find it? I used to have this game on a console thing but it doesn't work anymore.

Sounds like a Captain Tsubasa game.

Perhaps one of the The Incredible Machine games?

Ok... uh... Let's try this out (I haven't been able to answer many yet but this game is OBSCURE)

Ok so it's an old PC game, shareware I think, looked early 90s, I think it was called 'Knights of X' or 'Warriors of x'. Basically it was a beat em up game (1v1, 2v2), the graphics were awful, but all teh chracters were pretty different, and the highlight of the game was this big 32 player bloodbath thing which made absolutely no sense at all. Characters included floating eyes, knights with swords, horses... etc... It was sideview, but your character could move up/down (similar to streets of rage)

Ehr... I really want to find this game again. If it's any help I got it from a CD compilation called '2001 game'


oooo i remember this game, headbutting eyeballs and stomping gollems and shit

name beats me though.

I'm looking for this side-scrolling (as in horizontal) space shooter PC game from the mid-nineties. It ran in DOS, I think. You could choose between a red spread shot and a blue concentrated shot, you could get little orbiting satellite things, and you could buy upgrades and stuff, I think. The ships had a sort of beveled look to them, and the levels were set on a black space-and-stars background. I also think it was an insert in PC gamer or something. I can't remember the name for the life of me, and I was wondering if anyone knew what I was talking about.

How about the game I played on the computer, definitely mid-late 1990s. It was a "detective" game where you are in a building and you have a flashlight and have to find clues to figure out which ghost was the culprit or something. There were a few different ghosts, and one of them looked like a paint roller or steam roller on the bottom and humanoid (I think) on top.
I cant remember anything else, but it was pretty bad ass when I was younger and playing it over my friends house
If you find a potential answer to this could you PM it to me? Itll be easier to track it down that way. Thanks!

There was a really old japanese sidescroller/platformer that involved a bald monk kid running around smashing stuff with his forehead and would turn into some fire breathing godzilla thing once you eat power ups. I THINK it was on the SNES, and i played it on JAL airlines a long time ago.

it was an old game, for the regular nintendo. I think you were a kid in the game (i am not sure). it was a side scroller. you had a ton of different abilities you could use, or maybe you were transforming into things. one of the abilities/transformations involved a tornado.

I know that is almost nothing to go off of, so good luck.

Game for SNES:
It was a fighting game but the characters were all dinosaurs and other big animals (there was a King Kong like character). I remember there was this cobra-looking dinosaur named "Vertigo" that could teleport and another was a fire-breathing T-Rex. The more you win, the more worshipers you had on the bottom of the screen that started bowing down to you.
