Don't remember the platform, but I saw someone playing this top-down scrolling space shooter in some japanese game store. Your ship had "light" and "dark" modes. Dark enemies could only be killed while in light mode and vice versa, while your ship was immune to dark shots while in dark mode and vice versa.

Ok. This is back in those old school macs I think. Before even powermacs were out. We only had a demo of it on the shitty computer we had (though strangely, our classroom also had two iMacs. The old kind with the colored plastic).

It was sort of a turn based strategy game about the body and diseases. You chose what side you played on, and every turn you got a certain number of "units" to place wherever you want and you could attack things. If you played as the human you got to make choices like what to eat, etc., and you got units like B-cells, T-cells, etc. If you played as the diseases (and trust me, every single fourth grader chose this option) you got units to deploy and stuff. The demo always ended once you got the conjunctivitis unit, which sucks because it had 60 attack and it was so much stronger than anything else in the demo.

Also anyone remember nanosaur/bugdom? Fucking own.

This one game ages ago:
You were basically in space, and the galaxy/universe/solar system thing was a bunch of hexagonal parts. There were a bunch of random planets, and you could send transport ships to them and try to inhabit them. There were like... 5 races, and you could upgrade ships, and build a fleet. Then aliens would come and you could attack them. You would fight in lines. i.e. Your ships are vertically lined on the left, theirs on the right.

Anyone have any ideas?

OMG. These games were pure ownage! Ahh, nostalgia is great.


EDIT: Another game:
It is similar to stratego, but it had like... elephants, and other things It was very similar to chess, actually. The only difference was each unit had a power level (none >9000), ranging 1-9
It worked like: 1>9>8>7>6>5>4>3>2>1.
It had little river sections though, and it was really fun.

NOTE: Both of these games were on the mac.

This is probably a tough one, but I remember an old PC FPS game that was around early to mid 90s

I just remember it was killing people in a building, I think they were aliens and it was a bit like Duke Nukem 3D/Half Life, the look of it

I think it began with a "B" maybe "Brain" or "Body"

It was a 3D windows 98ish game involving a transforming blue robot in the middle of a cityscape with regular intercom communication with some 3x3 still pictures every so often with live acted voices.
It was a 3rd person shooter I think, but I could transform into a fast moving ground vehicle of some kind as well. 3rd person shooter. Not anime, very 90s comic-bish.

Also another game, a 1st person shooter that involved a futuristic space scenario and some of the weapons you carried was a voodoo doll, and you could kill people with it when angled correctly. Some other weapons you could kind of zap or burn people with in a very shamanistic way. Others seemed like conventional weapons, 3d, half-life graphics I think.

ok here's one

it was a nintendo game where you are in outer space, in a giant spaceship or space-base i think
and you are a giant floating hand
and you catch and grab floating balls and throw them at tiles
and you go from room to room throwing balls at tiles until you can get out of the spaceship

ok, new game
regular nintendo
single player
ur a weird guy who travels through side-scroller levels, different worlds

some indoors, some outdoors

the outdoor levels have little hut like buildings you can go into and talk to weird people and fairies and floating heads and shit

you get all different sorts of weird gun weapons and shields

at the end of each "world" - each world being 2 or 3 levels i think - you have a flying side-scroller level

and at the end of the flying level you have a boss that you have to fight in whatever spaceship you are flying

and the boss generally looks like a giant floating crustacean

I am thinking of a game for the mac.. somewhere around 1994

you're basically a dude walking around, and you use cakes and pies and crap to fight bunnies and shit... eating apples heals you, but some of them are poisoned and hurt you instead

The two pieces have two attacks and the goal is to bring their health down to zero, obviously. Pieces from what I remembered went like pawns being footmen/grunts, some sort of caster as the bishops, I know the evil side had a dragon or two....don't remember much more. I do remember the casters being able to summon elementals or something like that onto the board to battle. Anything else is lost in my memory. Oh yes, the evil side had some sort of shape shifter as well that became the mirror image of whatever piece it was battling.


Definitely Archon.



I played it for the NES with my friend all the time. I used to know all of the characters appearing noises.



Negative, it wasn't Archon. Different game, I played it on the PC.

No, it was Archon. It has a shapeshifter, you can summon elementals, and there's a light and dark side. Archon came out for the 8-Bit Atari, Apple II, Commodore 64, Amstrad CPC, ZX Spectrum, Amiga, IBM PC, Apple Macintosh, PC-88, and the NES. Chances are you played Archon.

Okay, i got one:

A puzzle game, with a top-down view of a level. There were a number of colored fur balls which you had to roll around, each had to make it onto some kind of beacon. Once you rolled them into one of 4 directions it wouldn't stop until hitting a wall or some other doodad. New elements such as portals, doors, arrows which forced direction and stuff like that was introduced every 10 levels (a cool image appeared too). There were 100 or 110 levels in total. I played this on the amiga 500, but i don't know what it was ported from.

And a second one:

I KNOW this game is called Jumper, I got it on a 5.25 floppy disk when i turned 8 (in 1988). Played it on my dads 80*86, along with games like Pacman and Space Invaders. Graphics were ugly and blocky, you were a stickman, passing through 27 levels. You had to get to the right side of the screen every level, avoiding gaps, flying and rolling balls, drops from the ceiling and the occasional swinging rope. I loved this game but i've never been able to find it again. It might not have been a serious release even, but maybe someone has ever played it?

Only other chess spinoff i can think of is Battle Chess, but it didn't have any different units from normal chess, they just transformed when moving and/or attacking. Rooks turned into stone giants and stuff like that. Dude, it's slow:

Im not sure if it's exactly right but it sounds very similar to BC Kid.

Originally it was an Amiga game, and the amiga version is 500000000x better then the SNES (as with most games)
