Forgotten the name of a game? - Remember it here! v3

There's this one game I've been looking for since like, forever. Doubt anyone is going to know it. It was a checkpoint-based race game with an open world, one could get between checkpoints pretty much in any way they wanted to. The game was very glitchy, pretty sure it was indie. What made it special was the wacky selection of vehicles - one could pick a SNOWMOBILE TO RACE ON A DESERT, or a bike, a monster truck, a jail bus and many others. From what I remember there was also a Ford Focus WRC with La Cucaracha horn.
Also, the monster truck was loosing its wheels very easily.

[QUOTE=bisousbisous;41403720]Really old game, played when I was really young. You had a castle and fought against another castle opposite the playing field from you. The weapons you used could destroy terrain and after each round you could buy stuff at a store.[/QUOTE]
What system was it on?
I remember a game on the GBA called Fortress which might be it.

Could it be 1nsane?

OH god YESTHANKYOU
okay so this is kind of a vague lump of information but there was this game (I want to say it was on the PC, graphics and level design theme on par with the early Spyro games) from way back forever ago, essentially a 3D platformer. It starred a non-human character, and trampolines were introduced early as a game mechanic but the game didn't necessarily revolve around that, nor were they often used as anything to progress through a level for some reason
I'm almost willing to say this whole thing might've been a promotional stunt by the Wrigley candy company because [url=http://www.wrigley.com/global/brands/life-savers.aspx]Life Savers[/url] (or something similarly shaped) were a prominent/important pickup in the game
[QUOTE=Satane;42545976]I saw it on kickstarter or something similar, wasn't that long ago. It was a space combat game where people would team up and take different roles inside a spaceship. One would be an engineer, captain etc.
There was a video where they walked around the ship in first person.[/QUOTE]
Sounds like FTL

Sounds like Centration.
this isn't really a game nor will anyone probably remember it, but on like Mac OS 8 or 9 I think, there was some sort of tutorial about how to use the mouse pointer, and there was this lady and she had a really boring voice, but eventually you ended up in a temple or pyramid or something and you had to solve puzzles using the mouse. There was a parrot that would fly away every once and a while you could click on too. I played it way back in elementary school or even before that and I barely remember it or what OS it was on. Definitely an apple OS.
This might be tough but a long time ago my neighbour had some ps2 game. All I remember was is was a platformer about some guy (maybe a bear. I feel like he was a bear) in a dream that is actually a girl in the real world (or vice versa). And the image I really remember was him walking on a mario galaxy esq planet with a checker board pattern for the floor.
Also some game that I think was for pc. All i remember was a guy who looked kinda like mario walking towards a giant frozen dinosaur and exploring inside said dinosaur.
A 2D Dinosaur game where you wandered around an island, sorta point-and-click style, and collected eggs and did various minigames to make various scenes happen.
It was a PC game, and I remember playing it around...8-10 years ago.
Wasn't an action-oriented game either.
It was this one game with money and you could buy a ton of stuff. One distinctive thing I would remember was this bald guy who when badly wounded would say; "Here I come you sweet, sweet angels."

This is a shot in the dark, but it isn't [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingpin:_Life_of_Crime"]Kingpin [/URL]is it?
I'm looking for an old DOS game I used to play a while back where you were in a house, and you could play checkers & reversi with a dog/rabbit.

No it was third person and there was a bunch of supporting characters. It was kind of futuristic I think... I also think the first level was in the sewers or something.

Could it have been this game?
The game i'm looknig for is openworld 2d space game. I think it was made some where 1996-1998
You could destroy Ai ships and go to planes where you could buy/sell weapons and stuff and the ships were round.
The game I'm looking for is about a brown dog that wore a sombrero and it was a platformer game. I think you collected chili peppers. It was for pc and on shockwave(?).I think it was made by [URL="http://conartistgames.com/"]Con artists production[/URL], but there site says otherwise so I don't know.
It was 2D.

Any chance you're looking for "Gilbert and the Chemystical Island"?
Here's the Swedish version of the intro:
[video=youtube;xY8OynkiUXs]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xY8OynkiUXs[/video]
Sorry, that's not it. It was even more cartoony than that, with graphics on both characters and backgrounds looking almost akin to "The Land Before Time".
I have been thinking about some SHMUP game I loved to play like many (9+) years ago. It was a 2D one and I don't remember a whole lot about it except that it wasn't that well known (like raiden) and wasn't very colourful or anything, and one of the early levels was either on mars or some brown-ish planet. Most of the levels were either in space or on barren planets, and sometimes you had asteroid storms.
You had your powerups and stuff and had to choose between 1 of 3 colours, and if you picked up a powerup of another colour (which was dropped by certain enemies and would rotate between each colour) while you already had a lot of another colour, you would loose those and start again with very little power. I believe the colours of the powerups were either red, blue and maybe orange.

I don't believe that it's a DOS game, I don't remember it looking that old. It might even be released after 2000, it's all long ago :v:
Quite old game, I'm pretty sure it was PC.
It was a top-down view in some facility or something fighting either aliens or zombies or something like that.
I don't remember much details but
I remember the start of the game being you in a grassland before you enter the building.
I remember there being a certain area that was a trap(with a weapon i think) and would disable lights and spawn monsters.
You found weapons as you progressed and I think the starting weapon was dual pistols.
If somebody remembers playing something similiar i'd be very thankful.
Wasn't on PC.

I remember some boardgame game that was on kickstarter(?) a while ago that allowed you to mod it easily into pretty much anything and it had like proper physics n shit so you could pretty much knock everything over in a ragequit.

That's it, has there been any cardgame mods for that yet? Like pokemon or magic etc.
There was this game that was in development that took place in space that was kinda mass effect-esque and there was a universe-wide economy where if you were to raid ships from a certain company their values would go down. THat's all I remember that's noteworthy about the game though. :/
