Wow, that's it. Man that game brings back so many... memories. (Not quite sure whether they were good or bad though) To the NES ROMs!

OK, well, this one's going to be difficult, just because I don't remember very much about it.

It was for the Sega Genesis.
Your character was a blue, knight looking dude.
It may have had two player support(I seem to remember being able to do two player and having a red knight)
The game was an actiony platformer(this is horribly general, I know, half of the genesis games fit this genre)
Stages were based on pretty cliche type stages(the second stage was DEFINATELY a volcano stage)
After you beat the boss of a stage, you'd find a magic door thing and go through it to the next level.

This is all I remember about the game, unfortunately. I'd recognize the game immediately if I saw a screenshot, but unfortunately I have not had any luck searching for it in the past week or so. Help would be VERY appreciated.

If it helps at all, I only ever knew one person with a copy of this game, and when I did remember the name, noone I knew had ever even heard of it.

There was this game for Sega Genesis, you played as 2 cavemen, one had green hair and the other one had blue hair. You fought random dinosaurs and shit and then when you fought bosses, if you were playing with two people whoever did more damage would get the kiss from the girl you had to save. I can't remember the name of this game for the life of me

edit: I found it, it's called "Joe and Mac"

The only games on Genesis with a blue knight that I remember are Rocket Knight and Sparkster.

Well, unfortunately, it's neither of those. : (

EDIT: Hrm... after thinking for a while, it's possible that it's an NES or SNES game, because I always had a Genesis and don't remember ever borrowing his games... And it could also possibly not necessarily be a KNIGHT... I wish my memory would serve me better. I DO remember that the graphics were pretty saturated, though.

Hey I got one. It's a platformer, kinda like PRINCE OF PERSIA in a way, but it was set in a futuristic setting and I had it for the amiga. I can't remember anything else really, except I really liked it back in the day, and I think there were some machines or something that'd make you dead if you stepped on them... Seriously I can't remember much at all, but the game was kickass and it was out for the amiga.

Nopes, not it. I can't remember much, but I know I'll recognize it when I see it. I think it had like a centre around which you chose squares on a map and in each squares you'd have to do something (like one was a small level) and I think the levels were randomly generated but not sure...

Was Flashback released for the amiga? It was very Prince of Persia, and had deadly machines, and the center town thing was present. So yeah, Flashback?

No it's not Flasback, although that is also one of old favourite games. But it was more futuristic than that I think, and a bit older as well. Also what I mean by center town was the whole game was centered around a NPC-less center thing but the side areas were filled with enemies (mostly robots).

My memories of the game are really vague though so really I don't have much of an idea. I went through some amiga dictionary or something and looked at all platformer games but neither looked like this one. And I tell you, that's a lot of games. Took me about 2 hours.

So, it's a futuristic Racer for the PC that was released around 00' I think, perhaps earlier.
It had pretty large and massive cars (that hovered above the ground), but they went pretty fast.
Anyways, there where power-ups, lots of them, they gave missles and speed boosts and shit. I think you could only carry one power up at a time.

I also remember two tracks, one was Icy, the other took place on a red planet. That track had a large gap in the middle.

All righty. its very important you tell me the name of this game!

Name of Game: Unknown (Duh!)
Platform: Playstation 1, PSX
Genre: Adventure/RPG
Battle Stlye: ABS, Hack and Slash, etc.
Year of Origin: Unknown
Description:
You can choose to play as the boy hero or girl hero. You start off by watching a FMV where the boy and the girl are on the ship going to a new land, in search of a rune of power or something. The boy hero has the power to grab "tokens" from defeated monsters, and transform into those defeated monsters. The girl has the power to use magic. The first level you went to as the boy character was a forest of some kind.

I'll add more to the description if more comes to mind.

Okay, found it. It's called Dethkarz and it's awesome.
I have another request: It's a POWER RANGERS game for the (IIRC) Megadrive (Genesis in US).
It's a very awesome fighting game. the rangers and some baddies were playable, like GOLDAR, man he was awesome.
Anyways, first round was normal, one on one fight, on the 2nd round is a megazord\Giant monster fight.
The awesomeness was too much to bear for the 5 years old me.

Well I remember the Game Gear version of it, and I think the Genesis version was titled the same. If so it's just Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.

EDIT: I don't even think there WAS a Power Rangers fighting game on the genesis. I KNOW there was one on SNES because I played it less than a month ago. It's called Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Fighting Edition.

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers is indeed the game I was looking for. It's a fightning game no doubt. Thanks.

Theres this game that i used to play for the family computer (NES), it was really enjoyable, the main thing i remember about it is that the game was called Mario 16(im pretty sure :s). I dont know if i was delusional or what but thats what i remember of the title. It is a sidescrolling platformer set in the prehistoric ages and each stage had end bosses that were dinosaurs, prehistoric plants, etc.. . The only weapon i remember was rolling donut shaped rocks. I rreally need this game because i think i spent 6 months tying to finish it but i could never get past the 3rd level whos end boss was a giant man eating plant. I want to beat this game now after all those years.

Okay guys, this is a bit vague but I'm looking for a game that is sort of similar to Heroes of Might and Magic or Age of Wonders (mostly the latter). It was kind of a turn-based fantasy strategy game where you moved across isometric maps (although they were a bit bigger than AoW) with your hero on a horse and recruited mythological creatures and shit to battle other creatures and enemies. Also, if I remember correctly, you could choose between eight sides (I have no idea what it was, it could be either colors, races, kingdoms or magic forces etc.), but that might not be true.

I think I played a demo of this in fourth grade or something (which would be about nine years ago), and I'm not sure, but I think the title included the word 'Lord' or 'Lords' in some form. I took a look around and found the game 'Lords of Midnight' which I really thought was it (as the title I'm looking for is something similar), but it turned out to be a completely different game. Also it was a PC game.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.
