Forgot the name of a game? Post here.

Does anyone remember an arcade game?

It was for one or two players and they where some sort of aircraft. There were four powerups, which respectively appeared in a "1" to "4". Picking two, for example, would make the aircraft shoot flames while 3 or 4 would give a diagonal-firing laser.

It is not much, however it is one of the games I used to play as very young and would like to find it again.

My regards.

There is not much I can add, beyond that I have manually browsed through the MobyGames scrolling shooter database (without success).

Indeed, the game is a vertical "shoot 'em up"/shooter with the option to play solo or two-players (first player is Red, second player is Blue, if I recall correctly).

Beyond that, the major feature I can remember are it's power ups. A single power up item, which changes from numbers 1 to 4, can be picked up to get a better weapon. For example, power up N°2 enabled you to fire wide flames quickly. If I recall correctly, powerup N°3 provided you with lasers that fired diagonally.

It is all I can remember for now, but the game is very valuable to me as it was one of the very first (I think the second) videogame I played as a child.

MobyGames doesn't seem to have arcade as a platform. Try here.

I remember when I was a kid I used to play a NES game where you played as a caveman [?] and threw tamohawks at dinosaurs...it had a catchy tune and you could eat [what looked like] flowers...

~thanks

Probably been asked before but a old pc game with bad graphics came on old old old windows and it involved levels like in a dungeon or something with lave and stuff. Probably won't be able to find it.

When I was younger, I played this one game on the computer, but I don't know if it was an actual disk game or if it was a downloaded game. You start the game as a guy in sort of medieval times and you have to go out to pick blueberries (I think that's the right fruit) for your mom to make a pie. When you get home, your house is on fire and you go in the house to see that your mom is dead, but funny enough, you are able to pick the pie up of the table. You are also apparently in love with this girl in your village and, unlike a lot of games, you can kill anyone you want, even NPC's. Does anyone know what game this is?

In all fairness, it probably is adventure island, but if not I would suggest Joe and Mac. Not that I remember any flowers in Joe and Mac (and I'm not even completely sure about a tomahawk ).

When I was a boy I saw the cover for an odd game that looked neat, but I couldn't get it because I was too young.

It's rated T, and it's for the Playstation 2


The big black shadow thing had a cartoon-ish style to it, and there was a girl standing in front of it (can't remember what she looked like)

and I think they were standing somewhere with a sea backdrop (I guess, but I can't remember)


Here's my best example of what the cover looked like

Does anyone remember about this one zelda-ish game where you get new swords or something? I think they were elemental but they were definitely different colors. IDK i was 7

Alundra?
Landstalker?

Any idea what platform it was on? that would help a lot.

I remember when I was little and I used to love playing this puzzle game on the gameboy (The old big grey one) It had something to do with moving these crates/boxes around. You had to use a young boy to push them I can't remember exactly why you had to move the boxes but I think maybe to leave the room? I honestly don't remember. I know it isn't a lot to go on but I would love if someone can figure this out. I've been trying to remember the name for the longest. Thanks
