Stolen from vaginal barrel, this is a topic where you post looking for videogames you remember but have completely forgotten the name of... since there are lots.

I'll repost from my last topic:

I'm looking for a playstation game; first generation... it came out around the ps1's release date.  It was a first person shooter very similar to Doom with 3D environments and 2D sprites.  You ran around as a chef and killed evil man-eating vegetables and meats in this obscure, surreal environment.  There were cool upgrades like JETPACK and your weapons were things like frying pans and flamethrowers.  I remember this game was pretty well known for its massive amount of cheat codes and it recieved good reviews but never really sold well due to the fact that the ps1 was new and $300.

Other game; this is a really, really vague memory in my head and most people probably wouldn't figure it out because I don't have many details about it.  It was a top-down rpg for the sega cd that came out around the same time as Lunar (and even looked very identical to Lunar) but I believe it had a real time battle system similar to Secret of Mana.  All I remember about this game was an excerpt from a strategy guide where you were going through some guy's basement exterminating giant mutant bugs.

I have a request too:
There was this game (made in the Official Hamster Republic RPG Maker), about some centaur. It lived in a peaceful village full of (other) people of different (fantasy) species, all thinking they are the last of their species. Centaur(as I shall call him now) knew he wasn't the only one of his species, and leaves town. He finds a minotaur in the ruins of a village, then a ninja, then finds a... Merman thing, then the ninja leaves, then Centaur meets a bird... Thing. One of them must die later. Then, he finds an Archangel in some ruins. In the end, he meets a fellow centaur.
Then, exciting climax:
THE OTHER CENTAUR KILLS OUR HERO!
That's all I remember... Oh, the creator made a sequel too. And he made a game named 'Peasant's Revolt' before the one I mean.

No idea any of those sorry, got another request tho:

I've been looking for this game a while I KNOW which game it is in a way but I don't know the full title and can't find it. This might sound a bit weird but It was a kelogg's game, not one of the new one's i'd say around mid 90's it was 2d graphic you could play as the duck, tony the tiger, the monkey and the bird pretty much all different levels, duck could swim, tiger run fast monkey swing in tree's and bird could fly.

I only had this as shareware, in german so I have no idea what the title is cause it was like 8+ years ago :P I know i'm not very good at explainig but if anyone know the full title of it would be appreciated :P

Marcus, for your second game I think it could be Vay or maybe Popful Mail. In fact, I think the only other RPGs for the Sega CD were two Lunar games, Shining Force CD, and Dark Wizard, so of those games I'm guessing it's got to be one of them.

I'm pretty sure it's not Popful Mail or Dark Wizard.  Popful was a side scroller, and Dark Wizard was a strategy game. 


EDIT: Dungeon Explorer?

I also have a request:

Simply put, it's a game with lemmings. The difference is that you play the role of a "grown up magical wizard thingy lemming" who can summon block. The goal is still the same but you only have to use those summoned blocks to counter the traps and make a way for the lemmings to reach the door.

I'm sure I'll have the answer soon enough thank to you guys. :D

hmmm

that actually does look familiar.  The game I'm thinking of sort of had super deformed anime-style characters but that game you showed is engraved in the back of my head somewhere.

The only other Action/rpg for that system I can think of is Heimdall, but I can't find any pics of it, so I'm not sure.

EDIT:  @Mayday the game you are looking for sounds like Adventures of Lomax.

EDIT2: @Asphalion: Tony And Friends In Kellogs Land?

That would be Ends of the Earth.  It was pretty good, but the sequel sucked ass.

I own a game for the Gamecube called Evolution: Worlds. It's a top-down RPG with funky anime characters; the game is a port of two Sega console games. I can google an image if you like to see if it's the right game (or, at least, the port of the right game).
Check it out! I'm doing NaNoWriMo this year!

It's not Evolution as I have the dreamcast games.  I'm just going to forget about my game for my now because it's simply a faint memory.

If I remember correctly, that was a dos based game, so try an emulator like Dosbox.  It usually works wonders for those old games that just don't seem to work right on the new Windows systems.

OK, there's one I've been looking for for a while now:
It was a Genesis game that played similar to zelda game (attacking with a sword, etc.). It starts out with you in a cave or something being chased by a giant boulder, and then I think at the end you have to jump down a waterfall, which leads you into a small town where someone takes care of you for a bit. Then you leave town to go to some sort of underground dungeon.

That's all I can remember, other than the fact that I am POSITIVE that the main character had yellow hair. Any ideas?

Edit: Also, I think I remember the view being from the side in the cave, while it was isometric in the town.

I don't think it's Beyond Oasis, so I'm going to guess Landstalker.

It is LandStalker.  One of the few games who's main character is a complete and total asshole.
