Can't remember the name of that game from your past?

[DreamCPS]

I'm looking for a game that is probably an old point-and-click for computers. What I remember about it:

• The game seemed sci-fi/futuristic.
• It started (?) with the player having to clean the windows of a building. I’m not sure if the player actually had to do this, but that’s how it looked visually…
• The game’s cover showed only the player’s feet, wearing sneakers, standing on what seems to be a platform.

SOLVED.

It is Future Wars by Delphine Soft.

 

[Anoobis]

OK. I'm looking for the name of this one:

It's an arcade game, probably from the 1990s.

PAC-MAN like, but SciFi theme: top-down perspective, gameplay occurs inside a labyrinth with doors, and you control a vehicle piloted by a cool guy (similar to Blaster Master).

Fantasy Zone: The Maze?

Was it Aurial or Crack Down by Sega?

There's this game that's been in my mind since I was kid and I'm sure it's not a dream.
I remember seeing it in a magazine AND in real life.

It's an arcade game, apparently a fighting game, with two guys who look like Prince Addam not transformed into He-Man but had similar clothes and hairstyle. The sprites of the two fighters were HUGE almost using the whole screen, you looked at the back of the fighter in the left and the front of the fighter in the right.

The game vaguely looked like this incredibly crude drawing from my mind.

That vague memory is still super clear in my mind, clear enough to think I didn't dream it.

Heavyweight Champ by Sega 1987
Mocap Boxing by Konami
I am stumped. About what year was it made?

I remember playing on PC a low poly rail shooter with a plane (like Star Fox) and I remember that one of the bosses I got stuck in (perhaps the third level) was a train where you had to destroy each sections individually and they were armed.

I also need to remember if it was a PC game or an emulated PSX title but I doubt that old computers could emulate it well to begin with.

Is there any chance that it might be Einhänder?

I’m trying to remember the name of a game I played as a kid. It had a similar style to River City Ransom — side-scrolling beat ‘em up with simple graphics and fun combat. What I remember most is that the final battle was against two opponents, and the game could be played in 2-player co-op.

I’ve been trying to find it for years but can’t recall the title. Does anyone know which game this might be? Any clue or suggestion would be super helpful!

 

[Zerpina]

Dunno, Double Dragon

 

[unnamable]

Dunno, Double Dragon

No, and I also remember that there were stores to buy things.

 

[Grumpy_Old_Man]

Maybe one of the other Kunio Kun games like:
Downtown special Kunio kun( Edo period oriented )
Or the later snes: Shodai Nekketsu Kouha Kunio kun

 

[UnDubious]

Not enough information. You might want to look into Technos in general, they made River City and many other beat-'em-ups (they invented the genre). The Combatribes, the Kunio series, Double Dragon series, etc.
Most games like these don't have shops. But your memories are so vague that maybe you're mixing different games together.

 

[Clippy]

Maybe I'm being silly but do you remember what console you played it on? I know the OP kinda suggests NES, I just want to make sure.

Wouldn't it be funny if we all had an egg on our faces because we all homed in on NES because of the River City Ransom comparison only for it to turn out that we should've been looking elsewhere.

Also, could you tell us what region of the world you lived in at the time? Maybe your game was Japan- or PAL-exclusive for example.

Legend of the Mystical Ninja?

That's it, the last bosses where these Tiger Brothers dudes.

You could play co-op with a friend or with a CPU buddy. Also enviromental hazards. And general awesomeness.

There's a couple of english patches for it around.

This is it. I forgot to mention there was no roof, it was like fighting in a backyard. Thanks a lot, Buddy.

Sorry, it was a rail shooter (ie: 3D from behind) rather than 2.5D side scrolling.

Still a great game.

 

[fbnaulin]

Was it Aurial or Crack Down by Sega?

Sadly no, but that was very near.
I'll keep searching for clues.

Back during the Genesis and SNES era I remember playing a game where you were a knight. It was a top down game, and you could ride horses to jump fences, and you could talk to villagers. That's all I can remember about it, sadly.

 

[Goshikk]

I used to play Puzz Loop/Zuma on the Neo Geo on a bootleg multi cart from 2008. I can't find a rom anywhere. Does anyone know what that particular version is called?

King's Bounty perhaps?

Hello I'd like to ask this for the longest time. Have any one of you remembered a monkey game where its like a minigame of sorts? Its like a wii sports type of coop game where you one up another through various different challenges till a monkey wins. They come in different colors too! No matter how much I scavenge the repo, I seem to never see it or even hear people talk about it. Aside from the monkey game There's also a game where you're a cop and you try to chase down cars on the road while you try to avoid hitting cars(?) Theres this one particular scene where you chase a Firefighter vehicle and you try to climb the ladder from behind. Thats what I remember back my childhood. Anyway If anyone of you know any of these games please comment it out , I've been trying to find them for the last 4 years. Thanks!!

King's Bounty perhaps?

I dug around and thought it was this, but it's not... I also thought Sword of Vermilion was it, but it wasn't :(
