So I was thinking since that our combined knowledge tends to own the interweb, perhaps we could turn our energies inward to solve some of life's greatest mysteries. That game, video clip or story from a friend that you can't figure out a name to put to it, the one that has wracked your brain for all of your short attention span could be placed in this thread so that we may relieve each others misery.


My game is an SNES game that I played in 1994. It was a side scroller that involved running from the top left to the bottem right of the screen. Also, your littler dude had to collect the playing card symbols (clubs, spades, diamonds, hearts) in order to get credit for beating the level. Any idea what the hell this is?

i think this was a flash game.. but uhh
you either control a dragon or a guy on a dragon (really tiny), and fly around and.. kill other dragons (AI). there's a bunch of levels that get more complicated (eventually there's stuff that kills you i think.. i.e. lava etc).. you could get chain points (i think you kill other dragons by bouncing on them? or possibly some sort of bullets that bounce.. so if you bounce off one into another, you'd get extra points)
my memory fails =(

That sounds kind of like Joust. Though I've never seen a version with dragons, always ostriches.
Think. :)

Wow great topic. My memory is pretty bad I have a few one is a PC game 1997ish about a guy in a big red suit similar to metriod without the arm cannon in a building atomsphere. I think it had an offcenter birds eye view and real audio possibly small videos. Gameplay wasn't crazy shootem or all that stragetic. I'm sure the description is too vague but I'll throw it out there.

Easier one is a NES game with the light gun i think you shot mostly stationary targets such as a naked chick on a torture rack and other gory stuff like that.

Sorry one more. Adventure game has a cartoon style. One of the last puzzles has you floating in an abyss or limbo and you have to use a bagpipe to blow yourself around to find an exit.

I believe that was a port of Chiller for the arcade though I haven't played either game. Bloody though~

My games~

This was on the old Apple II I think, I played it when I was 7 or 8 or something. You move around a submarine shooting ink pellets and sealife and solving MATH problems \o/

Another game but slightly newer, also on the Mac, was where you started off in a carnival and win a doll from a shooting gallery or something but then you wake up on a beach and have to solve puzzles.

having found a flash version, i'm pretty sure this is it! at least gameplay-wise. i *do* remember dragons though; it was probably some "recent" clone. can't find it yet though. and the flash clone i found looked like crap O_o

for the longest time ive been trying to remember a game, but my memories of it are so very, very limited.

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.

That kind of sounds like Kid Chameleon but that's for the Genesis.

edit: ooo thanks, yeah, I think it is Operation Neptune :D

I remember a few games. First one i think was for NES where there was a boy whose sister was kidnapped and he goes on a quest to save her .There were five or six major levels with two or three sub level each. The boy was shooting out of his third eye and could use different ammunition and he also had an arrow that he could shout and then bounce on it.
Second game was wwii game about American planes in the pacific where the plane had an option of bombs rockets or torpedo and had to kill everyone on an island and then a few carriers that was a PC
game.
and the third game was also for a PC where a player could be either android some dragon or dinosaur or a robot that looked looked like a tank.
The last two games were like 1993-1997

The basic premise sounds very much like Defender. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defender_(arcade_game)
