Okay, I have 2 games that I can't seem to remember.

1. All I know about this game is you start out sky diving to what I remember as an alien planet, the first level when your diving to the planet, you have to watch out for objects like rocks and shit. Later in the game you get to play as a 4 armed or 6 armed dog for what I remember.

2. This was a game for either Sega, Sega CD, or Sega32x though I can't remember which. All I remember is that you could play as a caveman for one part, but the caveman had laser guns or something(There was a part of the game as the "caveman" where you were in a prison or something and there was a room with a shit load of people shooting lasers n shit.), and you could also play as a human. It was a very SLOW SLOW pace platform game. Kind of like the old pitfall games, but with newer graphics. The human part of the game you'd jump over some kind of slime that would kill you often. Found out this was called Another World

I knew it was an Another World game, but I couldn't figure out which one it was. Thanks.

Do you remember which platform it was for? It sounds almost like Vectorman from the beginning.

Would it be Emperor? Its a chinese city building game, when a rival attacks another rival you get a message like that.

It very much could be, I've played Emperor to death and I was thinking it was some chinese dynasty game. I guess I'll have to play through it again just for that one line.

You skydive in Vectorman?

In Vectorman you do change shapes for the bosses, I think the closest you get is a 4 legged lizard, though :/.

The game was either on ps1 or ps2, and was defintly NOT vectorman. On another note, the dog had a cigar or cig in his mouth if I remember correctly.

Sounds like the very first level of Vectorman, where you float down to the surface and avoid or kill the floating things. But he said it was for ps1 or ps2.

EDIT: "You can play as Kurt Hectic, Doctor Fluke Hawkins and Max - a six-legged dog - and all three characters have different styles of play"

This it?: http://ps2.ign.com/objects/014/014861.html

I'm looking for a game that I think I played on Sega Channel.
It was a very kiddy game graphically, and it was a puzzle game, in the same league of Lost Vikings.
The main character was a little blue elephant, and he had some ability to go over obstacle x, but as the game progressed, more animals joined you with different abilities to get you over more and more obstacles.
Can't find it anywhere. Plz hlp!

ok so, here's one that's been bugging me:

it's nes, i'm 100% sure. it's LIKE one of those strategy games Koei put out way back in the day. it's turn-based and a chunk of continent is split up into sections risk-style and you choose one of these little chunks and rule it and the goal is to take over the other chunks until you have the entire continent. what makes this interesting is all the political subterfuge and the tactical battles. this one was unique in that it didn't have anything to do with japan, but instead took place in Europe. I played as some white-haired dude and the music for my piece of land was this baroque thing (using NES sounds of course). it was a lot like nobunaga's ambition except for cosmetic differences like the locale and names. however for some reason i remember it being a lot more engaging/accessible than the nobunaga games.

really unlikely but it reminded me of castles 2:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castles_II:_Siege_and_Conquest

i'm looking for a game and i'm sure it had "heroes" in the title. it's for the pc, and you had 4 characters or so you could choose from, a bubblegum thing that could stick to walls, a squirrel that could fly, and some others i never used. if one character died in a level your other characters had to rescue them.

I USE Q'S INSTEQD OF Q'S

Alright, I have a quote that has been stuck in my head for a long time. It's come down to either.

A: Recent Video Game (GCN/PS2/XBOX)
B: Movie

It's most likely A, since I don't watch movies too often. Anyways heres the quote:
"This is war... Casualties are expected" and theres emphasis on ARE... any ideas?

I don't know, it shouldn't be. But it was one of the best games I played when I was a kid and it will stick with me....... forever.

Seriously you are an elephant and one of the bosses is a FIRE TRUCK how is that a good game.

The world map system actually inspired me to make a game using a similar system.
