It took me FOREVER to find, but I was determined to find my old games. I assumed they were Sega Master System games, so I started watching videos like “best master system games” and such.
Then when I finally came across them, the memories all came rushing back like it was the 80s again! It’s so frustrating but when you finally find it, it’s such a good feeling.
I remember a top down game where you drive a car along a highway and try to defend yourself against other cars using different weapons and tire-slashing spikes mounted to your wheels.
You’d start inside a semi-truck, drive out of it backwards, and at the end of the level, the truck would re-appear and you have to drive into it again.I can’t remember if it was C-64 or DOS, but there was a sidescroll game where your character was on a quest in a forest where there were tree houses. They were called the “Grund” or something. Can’t find it anywhere.
Edit: I may have found it: “Below The Root” Gotta see if I can find it abandonware somewhere and try it again.
For me it is a ski racing game that looks like about 2005 or 2009 type of game and has a sort of athletic/olympic winter games type of vibe.
Yep, I have one of those. A side-scrolling scifi shooter for C64 from probably late 80s that I just remember a general vibe about. Not Nemesis, something where you fly above a sort of city. I have tried to remember its name for more than a decade probably.
One would think that there weren’t that many of them but oh boy.
Dominion?
top down spacecraft kind of thing. two of them, but there are so many its pretty much impossible.
Brave Fencer Musashi for me. Played that game so many times through what I remember as the first boss, then didn’t figure out how to progress when the world opened up
It’s so good! BFM is a top 5 PS1 game for me, easily.
Ok maybe Lemmy can help me. Does anyone remember a cartoon that used a key. A magic key. To draw a door and open to a new dimension? I have been looking for this show for decades and I can’t remember it. It had like care bare characters and children.
Nah. Think lte 80’s and early 90’s. I wonder if I dreamed this shit up.
I remember that in Beetlejuice, and there was a cartoon version of that.
I only know Pans Labyrinth but it’s certainly not a comic
3d third person shooter with a female protagonist. Late 90 or early 2000s. Think something like Tomb Raider, but I am pretty sure it was not Tomb Raider. I don’t remember much, aside from the tutorial level being in some kind of Portal chamber / Aperture Science like sterile tiled floor and walls with various lights. If I remember correctly, the first real level was in an old big multi store warehouse or club house.
Stealth game? There was a nice PS2 stealth/hacking fame with a female protagonist
After having looked for this game for two decades and asked here, I realized perhaps I should ask ChatGPT. I gave it the same description and it came up with Oni (2001). And I am pretty sure that’s it!
This is my guess as well. I still remember the tutorial.
I know it’s name: End of the World, part 2. Was a Wolf RPG Editor game someone made and released for free.
Cant seem to find it anywhere.
This is a weird one. I’ve been looking for a game for years and I’ve had no luck. My uncle took me on one of his drug deals, as he did very often and I played someone’s ps1 or ps2 while they got high. All I know about this RPG/JRPG I played is there were summons and I can vividly remember the 2d world map. There was a mine/tunnel area and some kind of grand library or mansion area. I’ve been looking for this game for 20 years now with no luck. If I see the world map I’ll recognize it instantly. So many of the RPGs of that time had sprawling world maps, but this was very confined. One screen with very obvious images for each area. I would be eternally grateful if anyone could help me find this game.
Edit: The mine/tunnel area was in the middle/bottom of the world map and the grand library or mansion area was towards the top right if I remember correctly.
You could try looking for a ‘compilation of PS1 jrpgs’ video on YouTube, showing gameplay of each game for half a minute. This could jostle the memory. And the same with ps2, if that doesn’t work. However, afaiu there were a lot of jrpg games, so idk if anyone’s made a comprehensive video.
Unfortunately no, it was definitely turned based and not an ARPG. The graphics weren’t very different though.
I had to try and find it for the sake of this meme! I thought it was a PS1 game all these years, just found it.
Buck Bumble. An N64 game I played when I was a kid, flew around as a bee and shot down other bugs. Its was a good time, glad I was inspired to try and find it’s name again!
I love that game’s title music.
Here’s hoping:
It was in the 90s. Top down, you could be either an Apache gunship or a tank for each mission.
SWIV?
Jungle Strike https://www.mobygames.com/game/792/jungle-strike/
I really enjoyed this on GameGear. My brother had it and I remember it being hard, but fair. We did pretty well.
Edit: I’m pretty sure the game was “Super Solvers: Gizmos & Gadgets!” and I was remembering the intro/home screen!
I used to play this edutainment title in the early 90s. All i can remember is cartoonish art, a professor or scientist or something and you had to solve puzzles by building machines i think?
The game I remember had a top down view, and looked more modern than that. It might have been a late DOS game but our computer at that time ran windows 3.1 on top so it could have been an early windows game too.
Most likely it’s The Incredible Machine by Sierra. https://www.gog.com/en/game/the_incredible_machine_mega_pack

Miner VGA, I still fire it up every now and then.
