and the second at least going on about the multiplayer, it sounds like [url=www.giantbomb.com/die-by-the-sword/61-1567/]Die By The Sword[/url]
[QUOTE=Trainbike;39194772]Holy fuck I think it is.
That looks like it might be the one too. Thanks a bunch man, what those two were has been bugging me for ages.[/QUOTE]
Here's a gameplay video of Starshot

You can spot the beach lady around 2:19 mark, and you can spot more later on 3 minutes onwards. I remember having a difficult time passing them too since they follow you around and hit you with a baton thing, kinda weird seeing this guy passing them easily for me. I gotta thank you for reminding me of this game too since I have unfinished business with it. :v:
Also if you're planning on playing Die By The Sword, I recommend getting it on GOG and get the Xtended launcher mod, it adds Directx9 functionality and better graphics + compatibility with modern systems.

I'm looking for the name of a military game from the early to mid 2000's. Either Playstation or PS2 I think, but I could be wrong. The title screen was in a very simple style, a (general) in a helmet, almost like a comic book. You select a handful of soldiers, each with a different specialty(weapon). There is a boot camp/training mode at the beginning of the game. The soldiers are in Blue for 1 player mode, and red vs. blue for 2 player mode.
This was a game I played when I was younger. I don't remeber much but it was a puzzle game that had local Co-op. I think up to 4 players. The goal was to push blocks to squish enemys. I think the name of the game had something to do with the name Jack. Any help, thanks.
So there was this game for Windows from the early 2000's or possibly the late 90's. You controlled a futuristic tank in 1st person mode. You had one of those power triangles (you could direct power to different subsystems, kinda like Crysis) where you could focus on armor, weapons or speed, or some sort of balance. You could change it on the fly. It had RTS elements where you could produce troops, take over bases and stuff. But you never left your tank.
The coolest part of the game were the power-ups. And the orbital cannon.
A 2d ant sim like game where you start with a small ant hill then make it huge while making new workers and warriors and moving around the city fighting big bugs and such and the ant hill goes with you for some reason.
pc i think around 2004
(not sim ants)
PS1, mid to late 90's, Metal Slug alike 2D side scroller, a bit more cartoonish.
I believe the setting is somewhere around WW2. You are playing an classic American hero style soldier.
I think it had conventional weaponry with automated rifle, grenades and RPG's (not sure about the RPG though).
The first mission (I believe) is set at a harbor/docks.
I remember borrowing this game from a friend but forgot the name ever since.
This is rather hard to describe. But there was a PS1 demo, which put you in some futuristic cop car with sci-fi weapons, chasing and destroying other cars around some kind of future city zone. I played the hell out of the demo, but never remembered it's name. All I want is to look it up to see what it was like... outside of the demo level.

Are we talking about the same game? (see mine just a few above)

I need to remember this game all I know about it is that it was a car demolition type game based in a city and that there was a cheat to make a tornado... That really is all I can remember about it though.

Last post repost.
[QUOTE=jerrythethird;39219953]Are we talking about the same game? (see mine just a few above)[/QUOTE]
Nope, mine was was on the PSX and you couldn't select a character.
I'm looking for two very obscure games. I don't think they were major titles.
The first one I borrowed from a library as a kid. I think the game was made by a company called Eucalyptus or Gumtree? I think I remember the company logo was some gum tree leaf. I think the game itself started with a G? It was probably a kids game. It was a simple game. The game space was a grid and you had to solve some sort of puzzle, get the key and open the door. Simple stuff. I don't think the main character was human or an animal though. The game is on PC. I had Windows 95 back then if that helps.
The second was a point and click I think? I think it was a game series and it was possibly a flash game. The first one involved going around the Australian Outback(?) and solving puzzles or something to stop a bomb going off. The second game you were in space.
I know they're really obscure descriptions but I may as well give it a shot.

I think you're looking for Land of Um by Greygum.
Wow, so it was. Thanks!

The problem with these old games is that they have little information about them. I've found other games that I used to play and they're pretty much forgotten.

I still remember the names for some really old educational games I had at school, but I can't find anything on them online.
I used to have a few disks that had demos/shareware games on them. I don't know what happened to the disks but there are a lot of games I can remember but can't describe without making no sense at all.

Battlezone, maybe?

Found it when I was looking through old games.
There was this online flash game that was multiplayer, where people had to get from one end of a red path to the goal, which was an arbitrary number of spaces away.
But every turn some crazy shit happened like finding a teleporter or some shit, and you could kill the other players or set traps for them.
I remember playing a racing game that was a demo though I think it was PC only, it had albeit good graphics and physics, but it wasn't recent probably from 2004-2006. It had a country side map were you could explore everywhere. Shit was cash. Tried it to find it, but its almost impossible.

Wow. Now that sounds way too much like it to not be it. But it's not. I even checked out the sequel and it's not the same thing.

Sound like Twisted Metal.
Maybe Carmageddon, but I don't remember any twister/tornado stuff in that game.

Any chance you're talking about Ant War? [url]http://www.y8.com/games/ant_war[/url]
[QUOTE=robo126;39277130]bad description time
It was a freeware game for the PC where you just idled - you just started it up and watched your character kill stuff and get items and shit, and then I guess you could go to a shop anytime you wanted and sell the things you got for gold, your guy also occasionally leveled up after killing enough stuff
I'm pretty sure it had "-quest" in its name, but I searched everywhere and couldn't find it[/quote]
Progress Quest
[QUOTE=robo126;39277130]
also, another one
it was a french multiplayer flash game; basically, 30 or so players spawned at the bottom left of a map and there would be an exit somewhere at the top left, the maps were designed by other players and had obstacles and stuff[/QUOTE]
The one with the mice? Transformice, I think.

Quoting this to bump it just one time. I'm dying to play it.
Four games:
The first one has a sort of top-down/isometric camera angle and it's in a 3D engine. I believe it was made in the late 90s or the early 00s. I think you played as some dude with goggles/glasses. At one point a little girl will give you a card of some sort and you then get to read peoples' minds (it's used to get past a guard who requires a password).
In the second one you're a cop. At the start you get three "gamemodes" to choose from. In one of them you drive a car, one is an arcade/rail-shooter of sorts and in the third one you can walk around in third-person. In the third-person mode you can find an electric chair (with a guy in it) that you can activate.
The third one was a first-person shooter I believe. You have a guy following you around and you both have jetpacks you can fly around with. At one point you kill some kind of dinosaurs for their meat. It had a pretty cartoony style I think.
In the fourth one you're in a dungeon/castle and have a party of characters (I believe all, or at least some of them, were vampires). Your characters had pre-rendered portraits on the hud. I think you could let one of your characters suck anothers blood.
Ok, here's a hard one with extremely vague descriptions, because I only remember one part from that game and it was a boss fight, but I'm not sure if I remember it correctly:
It was a first-person shooter, and I think all enemies are humans.
If I remember correctly, you were inside a giant, rectangular shaped room with a smaller, rectangular pool in the middle (kind of like a submarine hangar without the submarine). After you've killed a lot of enemies the boss shows up, and he's hard as fuck. You kill him by making a steel beam drop down on him.
[QUOTE=robo126;39278993]
Sounds like Psychonauts to me[/QUOTE]
No, it had a more realistic style and I don't think it was an adventure game.
