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.

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.

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 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"

I'm currently searching for the name of an old RTS PC game I played like 10 years ago. It was somewhat similar to Command & Conquer (I played both game at the same time), but I think it was pretty unknown. It had a 2D engine as well.
It had a sci-fi setting, I think it was supposed to be on earth a few 100 years in the future. During the game you could manually "assemble" the units you wanted to produce with your factories. For example you could choose wheels for your tanks instead of tracks or a flamethrower instead of a cannon and other stuff. You could build ships as well, iirc.
I thought the name was something with "Europe" or "Europa" but I'm not sure. I searched for about 1h already but I couldn't find anything.

A long time ago a friend and i played a game on his computer that i've been looking for. It was a side view puzzle where each stage was filled with orange boulders stacked on top of each other across the map and i think the object was for your little character to push the boulders so that they would all fall down without crushing you. The boulders were actually pretty small on the screen (1/4 inch on screen maybe) and i don't remember any stages spanning left to right. It came on one of those floppy disks that was actually floppy, if that helps.

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.
