Forgotten the name of a game? - Remember it here! (Resuming)

Hello my name is Snacks and I have forgotten the name of a game.
The game I am trying to remember involves the ability to enter people's dreams. I played the demo for this game 6 or 7 years ago on the PS2, I believe.
In the demo, you are in a normal-looking town, and you could enter the minds of certain characters to help solve their issues inside of their heads.
Your character wields two rather large weapons in each hand which appear to materialize each time you attack, and dematerialize when you are done attacking.
The main character frequently shouts "Get lost!" at the end of combo strings.

I haven't actually played it, but the whole dream entering thing reminds me of Psychonauts.
Soo, a long time ago there was this weird ass "racing" game. It was rather weird, as your choice of vehicles was rather large. The races were checkpoint based on a basically free-roam map, so you could pick whatever fastest route between checkpoints you wanted.
But yeah, vehicles. Next to normal looking cars you could also pick a bus, a monster truck, or even a fucking snowmobile (You could race a snowmobile on a desert map.). The monster truck had an annoying habit of losing its wheels on whatever bump it might've encountered.
The game also had a free roam mode, where you could just freely drive around a map for no apparent reason.
Need to find the name of a freeware game, at least a few years old.
Featured Mario, Zelda, Space invaders and similar retro games.
Every once in a while the game would 'glitch' and give you a random character in one of the other character's game worlds. ie playing as Link in a mario themed level. It was intense and awesome fun.
Does anyone know the name?
Its this ps1 game where you have to deliver stuff to people in time and have to kick the dogs when they chase you

Was it a super smash bros clone with 8-bit graphics?

Does anyone know a third person adventure game with a world made up of blocks and it was unreleased. Was reminiscent of Zelda and 3D dot game heroes. It was on the forums a few months ago but I can't find it any more.

Well it's similar in that aspect, but it's definitely not Psychonauts.
[QUOTE=Chrille;38537032]I'm probably not going to have any luck with this, but whatever.
This is an old game I played in elementary school, some sort of semi-educational game where you solved puzzled.
It was a 2D sidescroller with pixelly graphics (it's that old), and started with you entering a pyramid, where you had to climb to the top. Along the way there were enemies (like baboons and mummies) and traps, and quick puzzles you had to solve to avoid either (I think that was how it went).
You would have to figure your way to the top as there were several of them, using ladders to climb between floors.
Looked kinda like this in terms of graphics:

Montezumas revenge. It goes by several names but that is it, pretty sure. Or pitfall 2.

I remember playing a third person pc game where you were in a mall and you needed to cause anarchy by destroying items in the shop (I think). You could kill anyone and you could shoot limbs off people, pick them up and beat up other people with them
Trying to remember the name of a game that I'm pretty sure has yet to be released. I can't remember all that much about it aside from it takes place in space, had a kickstarter and one of the demo videos showed a Robot mining an asteroid. It's 3d, had some nice lighting effects, and I'm pretty sure at one point in the video they set up some bases on the asteroid. Good luck.

I somehow found it. It was called Blackspace, and it didn't manage to get all the way to it's kickstarter goal. Awhh

Voxatron? Or that other one that looks like minecraft but is called Cube World?

There were a few games like that in the late 90s. Big Red Racing may be what you are after? Depends what you mean by a long time ago.

From the description he gave, it's probably Cube World. I just looked up some more recent screenshots and it does look a bit more reminiscent of Infiniminer now, doesn't it?
Yeah it was Cube World thanks.

Nope. And by "long time ago" I mean... huh, I can't even remember. Over 10 years, maybe like 12.
The game's logo was rectangular, yellowy-blackish letters.

Some old 3rd person shooter where you play as some humanoid alien looking thing, and I believe you started the missions with up to 4 aliens that you could switch between. The hook was as you killed enemies you would evolve or morph different abilities on your aliens and their appearance and color would change.
I can remember on the first level you had to evolve enough "strength" in one of your guys to knock over a pillar to use a bridge. Very vague but if anybody can figure it out I'd be overjoyed.
EDIT: Found, it was Evolva.

[URL="http://www.mobygames.com/game/evolva"]Evolva[/URL]. Gimmicky but pretty cool from memory.
The year is 1997. I am at a friend's house playing mario kart.
He says he wants to show me this cool game he got. I am not positive if it is still on the N64 or not. Thinking back, it could have been on any console, even pc. I have no idea.
I believe it is a first person shooter, though it could be a third person shooter. He uses a cheat that he either pulled off of the internet or out of a magazine to get all of the weapons, looks up at the sky and blows up the sun with what he called a nuke, and the level goes dark.
I thought for the longest that it was a Turok game, but I have never been able to reproduce the 'blowing up the sun' part in any Turok games I bought or rented. It might have been an easter egg or part of the story for that level.
And that's all I remember. Any of the minor details might be made up by my mind, but the one fact I am positive of is that he blew up the sun. Any help?
I remember a long, long time ago I had this friend who had a demo for this game, it was PS1 or PS2, I believe. The demo let you play for 30 minutes I remember the game started with you in this giant Tokyo-esque city (could have actually been Tokyo I suppose) and you played as this girl. I remember you control her on foot and you had to go somewhere and you end up (and I completely forget how this happens) getting inside a giant robot. You take the robot to some building and meet up with this other guy and I'm pretty sure I never got much farther then that since the demo only lasted 30 minutes. :v: This is probably extremely vague but now I can't remember the name of the game and it's bugging the heck out of me.
Essentially you played as a tiny tank and went around fucking shit up, I remember that you could attach parts or weapons to your tank for extra firepower.
I also remember one (sewer?) mission where you had to fly through tunnels avoiding lasers, I wish I remembered more but that's all I got

Much appreciated, this has been bothering me off and on over the past couple years whenever I remembered it.

No worries. It's one of the games I see people looking for all the time in threads like this one. It's on GOG.com if you're after it.

Funny enough, the game is called Tiny Tank. :v:

I think the year was around 2001, I was with a friend at a Chuck E. Cheese's playing this arcade rail shooter in the same vein of The House of the Dead. The game was set in Egypt, or someplace bearing a resemblance to Egypt. The player characters use scepters for weapons, although the controllers were still gun-shaped light guns, and one of the bosses if I recall was a giant levitating head of King Tut that breathes fire.
EDIT: Found out it was "The Maze of the Kings"
I played this around about 2007-2008, it was a open world 2d building game kinda reminiscent of, and likely an inspiration for minecraft and/or terraria, but far more dynamic; there was rain that flooded, earthquakes that would cause sand to shift and destroy structures, volcanoes that would crack and flow up from the ground, etc.
Also, you couldn't really make buildings, but rather made preset sprites from gathered resources, I believe.
I'm trying to remember the name of a game that came with the McDonald's happy meal. It had all of the McDonald's characters, all pre-rendered and you had to click each of them to get some trivia and point and click to get around.
