I'm trying to recall a game I used to play with my Dad. It must have been on the NES and it was a top down style shooter where you could control an army guy or you could co op. I think the first level was in a desert and you had to fight a tank, then you moved into a base or something and fought a helicopter while riding a elevator? Idk my memory is really fuzzy. Don't know if thats much to go on.

Awesome thread, I've got a query for anyone who can help out.
There's this snes game I rented as a little kid, but I've only got a few clues I can remember reliably. The cover had the protagonist, who may or may not be a little similar to the one from pokemon red in terms of having a backpack and a hat, in the foreground in the bottom left or right corner. He was facing the opposite corner which was a demon or monster of some sort. I think you could only really see it's face. Only it's face was memorable to me, it was sort of big/bug eyed (smooth eye though, not made of multiple shapes like a fly's) and had a lot of thin pointy teeth. This particular memory might be unrelated and mixing with one of the villains from power rangers. The title might have been in red narrow font.
As for the game play itself, I've got even less clues. I don't know what kind of game it was, it could have been an adventure game of some sort. It's perspective was similar to aLttP, but it's environment and spirtes were more "realistic" (not to the same degree as SMRPG) You had a wolf, dog, or mix of a companion (initially?). Actions I think would work out something like when you pressed a face button the four buttons would show up on screen where you were/around your character. Each would correspond to a different menu. The starting area or first town had a bunch of huts and one of the npcs was this little girl with a pet lizard.
That's all I remember. I didn't play it much because I could never figure out what to do (I was a kid). Thanks if anyone can help out!

Exoray
Just initially going by the dog partner and bug eyed pointy teeth villain thing I'd guess Secret of Evermore
however I realize there's a lot of your description that does not fit with it.

I do remember there is a game I cannot for the life of me remember the title no matter how much I freaking try, but I know quite a bit about the game itself.
I remember it came out on the PC during the Windows 95/98 and it was around 1997-1999 when I played it.
Th game itself was an action/puzzle/platformer where you play as either a human or minotaur in a series of labyrinths that ranged from sewers to like a roman palace and the goal was to outsmart your opponent and reach the exit using paths and whatever was necessary to finish the level.
The game was pre-rendered 3D on a 2D place (Donkey Kong Country if you will) but was kind of 'cyberpunk' looking in a sense and was layed out like a classic Prince of Persia game.
I hope this helps...

That has to be Hunter Hunted.
Let's see how awesome y'all are. In this game, you would pilot a mech, and at least in one case you had a timed escape sequence (maybe more).
I remember one level that required a certain kind of equipment because if you didn't have it, you would overheat instantly and your mech would shut down. I believe that level began in a cylindrical area.

Sounds like Steel Battalion / Tekki for Xbox? I know there is a escape sequence to rescue yourself.
Waiting hurts my soul...
I'm pretty sure someone would remember playing a game that came with a controller like this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Steel_Battalion_controllers.jpg
Asking on behalf of a non-gamer friend, I have no idea what she's talking about:
when we were little kiddies
there was this game
like propa old school
and it was like..a trail to grandma's house or something
grandma's house?
grandma's trail?
grandma quest or some shit?
i mean like super kid kid
like, i'm talking about 8 years old
you had to type shit in too like in different bits
and you had to pick decisions?
like you had options to go here or there
Also, there may have been a lake
By "8 years old", she means late 90s.
I do apologise for the form, she's a bit excitable.
I cut out some of the less relevant content.

This is a tough one.
I'm probably 6 year old at the time so memory may be a tad off. I just distinctly remember playing some SNES game I rented and it was like a pilot game that was Japanese? and I think most of the game was just above the clouds and had a rainbow in the background (was not a side scroller game). Was pretty weird game actually. The only game I rented I cannot remember the name to.

Never any doubt!
Ok guys I have a question. Can I ask for more than one game at a time? Because I got all nostalgic today and I have remembered about a couple of old games I've played but I don't know any of their names(I really want to see them again...) and also there is nothing about asking for more than one game at a time in the rules of this topic so I ask here.

Pop'n TwinBee?
Never any doubt!
Well, thank you Alko. I will ask now. When you answer about a game please refer to it's number and I will tell you if it's the one.
First Game: It's a 3D PC first person shooter with a similar gameplay like Unreal Tournament or Painkiller(or something to both of them). I think it had a deathmatch mode with bots, beside the single player campaign which had a story but I don't remember anything about it. It must have been about Hell and demons, so it had some not realistic moments. It had only black and white graphics, for example the skeletons you can kill were outlined in black and the fill was white. I think there was a skull in the interface but I'm not sure and I think there were some maps that were like castles and dungeons. The enemies were some demons and skeletons and the weapons were mostly range kinds but I don't remember any in particular. I think I've seen in around 2003 but I'm not certain if it was new then. I mostly remember the black and white graphics, so this is the main clue I've got here.
Second Game: A 3D PC strategy with tanks and other military vehicles you can command. I'm not sure if it's any of the first Command and Conquer games because I haven't played those much(no offense to the fans), so you tell me if it's any of them. Anyway I know that you had a base in every mission where you can train tanks and vehicles, and you had to destroy enemy buildings and units and complete specific objectives. I think it only had single player missions. I think you could also train foot soldiers but I don't think there were any planes, maybe helicopters, I'm not sure. I know that you can't build any buildings, you only have one base and you train all the units from there. The time of action is in the present around 2000, so there are no spaceships or aliens, just normal people. I think I've seen this one in 2001 but not later than 2004 but it seemed pretty new at the time and I liked the graphics a lot but I can't explain anything special about them.
Third Game: I barely remember this one, I know it was for PC and it was first person. I think I've only seen a boss battle in it here you had to kill a giant which was 5 times bigger than you. It is about the Medieval ages but there are some creatures you can fight. I don't think it was an RPG but you only have swords, axes and potions. I remember the battle with the giant was next to a big castle and there was a catapult you could use to shoot him with big stones. I am sure this giant was not the final boss, actually I think it's one of the first ones or maybe it's not even counted as a boss but I know the battle with him was more difficult than fighting other creatures. I think there was some kind of inventory but no leveling system. The graphics were not so detailed but I can't remember anything except that the giant was light. Actually now when I think of it it might not have been a giant, maybe a big man made of stone, well I know that he was big. I really don't remember much about this game so it can be difficult to find it. :-/
Forth Game: This one should be easy to recognize if you've played some old games. I've played it on PC but it was on our old one, so I think we were still on DOS. It is a 2D game and you control a young man. He works at a skyscraper and his goal is to make a girl, working on the top floor of the building, to fall inlove with him. You can move around the building using the elevator and you can prepare the gifts from the things you collect. Your job is to send her presents and flowers so you can impress her as much as possible. You complete the game when she falls for you. I think there was another guy hitting on her and you had to be better than him or otherwise you lose. I think at the end of every day the hero goes home and watches TV and there were some things you can do there but I don't remember what. I think the whole story will help you figure it out because it's one of a kind. The year I've played it was around 1998-2000 but the game wasn't so new at the time.
I hope you can get which the first and second ones are because I would love to play them again. Thank you for the time.

Likely not the one you're looking for but I'll mention it anyway just in case
Never any doubt!
I watched some videos of Axis & Allies and as much as it's a very similar game to the one I'm looking for, I know that's not it, so the search is still on.
Now when I think of it, it might have been possible to build things in the game(the second one I'm looking for) because I think there were some bulldozers you can use for that. Anyway that was not the main thing. The main thing was to train tanks and other armored vehicles and it was definitely in a newer period that the II World War. Also most of the missions were in deserts(I think there was a mission where you play as the Americans and you attack Iraq) and I don't remember seeing any gameplay where you can control ships.(I saw some in your game)
Ok, good luck and Thank you for the help.
