Sega Genesis game. I remember that you controled a grey or brown or silver colored guy who was made of up joints without limbs. Like' date=' he'd have hands and elbows but no forearms or neck. It was a side scroller and you had to kill monsters. Not a lot to work with but that's all i know.[/quote']

Are you thinking Vectorman? He was actually vellow-bronze, but he was made up of vectors/joints. Did he ever change forms?


My games being sought:

1) A PC turn-based strategy game with hexaagons, where you control fantasy creatures and medival armies. I remember you recruited heroes at the beginning of a match, like staffsling men and swordsmen, or for the evil guys demons and whatnot... There were heroes too, like a huge rat-rogue and a cheeta assasin who could go invisible... and there were wizards and demons and whatnot, which could cast spells... it was a really cool game! I just wish I had any idea what it was...

2) A top-down Real-Time Strategy game for PC set in modern times, where you hire and controll a mercenary army to take down... er... terrorists or something. I remember that you could recruit from tons of characters, some who would only join you if you did certain things first, like this one spy chick who would only join if you hired her love intrest, a russian explosions expert named Ivan.

Battle for Wesnoth, maybe?

Also, thanks Rowain, Revelations is the one :D
Anyway... I played a bit of this... And I'm not so fond of the setting. I hate that whole ghetto "gangsta fo life" thing, and I've never been much of a baseball player.

Number 2 has to be Jagged Alliance. Not sure if it's 1 or 2 but it's gotta be a JA game.

Not sure about Number 1.

Yep, Jagged Alliance is the one! Many thanks, Rowain!

P.S. I know the first one isn't Wesnoth, but I still don't know...

Total shot in the dark, could number 1 be any of the Heroes of Might and Magic games? Maybe 2 or something? Like I said, just a shot in the dark.

This might be difficult - I played a demo from a PC Gamer sampler disc probably about eight or so years ago (not totally sure on the timeline, but it was a WHILE back). During the demo, you controlled a guy who was possibly C.I.A. or something, and you were travelling on (I believe) a submarine. There was some sort of accident onboard, and there was a monster of some kind locked up down below.  (vague I know, but I only got to try the demo once - might have even died prematurely - before the disk was rendered non-readable.)

I'm looking for a Genesis game. 
It was a beat-em-up with robots, and you got to select the different parts and steal them off of your enemies.
I think I know what you're talking about, my cousin had a port of it for the comp, the name was something with letters, like some sort of a clever acronym for something.

Ok, im looking for a game (duh?). It is for the genesis, and I'm almost 100% sure it was posted in another topic, but I can't find it. It is where you play as a marble, or a ball I think it is a marble though, and you go through isometric mazes and try to roll to the exit. I have a craving to play it but the last time I played it was when I was like 5 so I can' tell you much about it :(​.

For ages, I've been pondering what the name of this old Commandore 64 game was because I'd like to play it again. It was sort of FPS sort (albeit you saw your hero's arm I think), the time was old western, you were a Sheriff and people would walk and talk to you and you could select what to say to them. (Like "Hey, haven't I seen your face in wanted poster?") Also, if you shot some civilian a message "Is your little gun arm happy now" or something like that.


Any sort of an info of this game would be apreciated.

 
And that's when I decided to become a barber.

I'm, again, looking for a game. It's a freeware game in which you control a ball. This ball needs to get to the end of a hub, by finishing enough levels to open doors (in SM64 fashion, only each level is simply one star). In a level you had to get to the end by breaking fruit blocks. Each fruit block had a different color, and your ball had to be the same color to break the blocks of that kind of fruit. To change color you had to bump into a special color change block, and that's about the basic thing. There was also a level editor and all that. Anyone have an idea what it is?
Long shot, but uh... Kula World? It's the only game I remember featuring a ball and fruit.

Sega Genesis game. I remember that you controled a grey or brown or silver colored guy who was made of up joints without limbs. Like, he'd have hands and elbows but no forearms or neck. It was a side scroller and you had to kill monsters. Not a lot to work with but that's all i know.
Rayman?

Genesis/SNES era game, but could be on Amiga or PC or anything like that.
Play as some guy, no idea what he was. Looked like a normal human though.
Fought horrible monsters. Graphics kind of reminded me of Flashback/Another World/The Immortal, etc.
Took pieces from the monsters, ie heart from one, brain from another, to make one big monster.
I know you killed one monster by dropping a big stone slab with spikes into it.
Any of the Frankenstein games?

Lords of Magic? I looked for that game a couple of pages ago.

I've just played Devil hunter: Seeker of power and the game seems to be a sequel. Does anyone know what the first (prequel) Devil hunter's full title was and where to find it? Tnx for any info!

Okay, I'm 100% sure this was for sega. I would play this game all the time when I was little. You would play as a little dinosaur/dragon  red/purple skin can't really remember the color. You would fight other dinosaurs and later in the game end up inside a dinosaur/dragons belly and the background/level would be bones and skeletons.

Any help would be great.

The setting is a haunted house with some ghosts. There's a gym (maybe? or a green house) with a hole that you have to jump over or you die, a sad ghost that you have to cheer up with a Valentine, and I think when you win you go to the attic and befriend a ghost and it asks you what your middle name is (and then favorite book?) so you can jump to the next level.
