I trying to remember a game for the PC. It was a point and click game (like Monkey Island) At the beginning you was locked in a cell. To escape you had to turn the light out, attach a wire from the light bulb to the metal door and call the guard. When the door opened you switched the light on, the guard got shocked and you escaped. Any Ideas?

I'm not sure if you've found it already, but it sounds like Teen Agent.

I've got one.

It was an arcade game that had a steering wheel and pedals and one/two lightguns.  You were cops or something and the game played a bit like the car chases from Virtua Cop, but one person actually had to drive.  That's all I can remember really.

@Izekeal  Sounds almost like Night Stocker, but somehow I doubt the game your are looking for is that old.

I looked at some screenshots and yeah, that game is pretty old,  looks cool though.  But yeah, not the one I'm thinking of.

This wasn't that old of a game, I'd say I played it in like 1997 or so.  I'm almost certain SEGA made it as the graphics reminded me a lot of Virtua Cop.

I got 2 that have plagued me for a long time. I think I found one of them, the first one, but wasn't too sure about it then I forgot what it was called so:

Both Spectrum games. Possibly released on similar era consoles (C64, etc).

1. You played a wizard, witch, apprentice, or something like that. You hopped around a Dizzy-esque landscape including (and possibly limited to) a castle, picking up various items. You talked to little dragons, too. Game played kind of like a faster paced Dizzy.

2. Man, this is impossible to describe. You either played as, or were featured on the front cover as a white knight with Romanesque wing motifs on your boots. All I remember is that you ran (or walked) to the right in a dank castle tunnel setting. That's it. I have no clue what the aim was or anything like that. Good luck finding this one!

Yeah, that was it. I knew it wouldn't be that hard considering I found it myself a while ago (then forgot).

But yeah the 2nd one is impossible.

I'm definitly not sure about that second one.  There are a ton of knight games for the spectrum. Conquestador, Winged Warlords, Knight Time, Finders Keepers, Knights Lore, etc..

There was this one playstation/PSX RPG that was so day-glo and bright that after 10 minutes play I ended up with a severe migraine and sickness.  I can't remember the title at all.

The graphics were very cutesy, and I think you played someone in armour (but not entirely sure). There were a lot of ghosts on the world map at the beginning and they never failed to poison you immediately as soon as you entered battle with them.

All I can really remember is that the grass was super bright.

I'm not sure if anyone can help with this since my memory is too vague.

I've got one too. I played it years ago, it was a console game (don't know which one, an old one, but had 3D and decent effects), a first-person shooter. It was kind of a mix between Toruk and Duke Nukem, with a little bit of Mario. I remember there was a code that changed the blood texture to flowers, and fighting this really large giant, and some spaceship, and a jungle/swamp level with a temple at the end. It was pretty whacky. I also think the controller was black, but I don't remember any squares or triangles.

There is an old nintendo game.

You walk around this city and you are superheroes fighting robots.

There is a green dog, a chick with tornado legs, a dude with a hammer for a head.

That's all I remember. Also, I think there might have been a blimp.

Defenders Of Dynatron City is what that is.

Possibly Serious Sam for Xbox.

Wow... just recently, I remember this game that I really wanted to play and I remember it from like 10 years ago.

I'm pretty sure it was NES
It had something to do with tomatoes. (I think the princess was a tomato or something)
It was a Deja Vu style game (i.e. you examine things and talk to people and move around by pushing buttons, not by actually moving around (meaning there were buttons like Talk, Items, Move, etc.)
I remember a country sort of road in one of the scenes.
I also remember a cabaret style area.
I'm also pretty sure you had to save a princess.
