Bulldozers you say?

Never any doubt!
Wow I just watched some videos of both of the games and when I was looking Command & Conquer: Generals, first I was the bulldozers I told you about then I saw a thing that I haven't remembered at the time about the game - When the game gives you new objective (or something important happens) there are these triangles that appear on the minimap for a while to point the important location. Now when I saw them I was sure that was it. Anyway, I am certain that this is the game I wanted. Thank you.

The second game I was looking for is Command & Conquer: Generals. Three more to go now. Smiley

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.


Pop'n TwinBee?


I looked on YouTube at first stage and although some things seem out of place, the others seem familiar. I also looked at the cartridge for PAL and it seems familiar too. Just something about the clouds on the left side trigger something with me. Think this is correct. My memory is well too young at the time to say otherwise.
Lay waste to everything...but I still love SDA!

I'm trying to think of an old PC game.

You were able to build robots, and can fight on 3 different levels, like underground, ground level and the sky...and i can't think of the name


How old you mean? If it was an RTS than maybe Earth 2100 series? I think 2140 was  the first one but not sure.

Well looking at that (like videos on youtube) it didn't seem like the game i remember. But i know it was a RTS. And when i meant you could fight on 3 different levels, like you could build an elevator to have units go underground and fight there too.
Sounds like Maverick talk to me.
Probably Syndicate wars?
Heavy Metal Powered
TruShade: You are looking for Metal Fatigue.
Faster than the speed of love
Here's one for you guys, not a lot of details but what I can say is pretty concrete. This game:
- was for the NES
- was a platformer, sort of, it played similarly to old-school Castlevania
- had a medieval setting (or around there, it was definitely pre-industrial)
- you could go into and out of buildings (and had to to progress)
- probably the most unique thing about it (which I'm about 95% sure of), it had honeycombs as a powerup of some kind, I'm almost certain they gave you health
also it might have had puzzle solving, I'm not sure if it did or I just couldn't get the logic of the game, being 7 and all. Regardless, I thought it was pretty fun.

What a great thread!

I remember a game for the PC back in mid-to-late 90's I used to play all the time on windows 95! I remember you flew in something that looked like a spaceship but it was somewhat close to the ground because you could see the ground and mountains etc. And you had to put on different components on your ship, like: Batteries, catapults and spikes. And the spikes you put on the edges of your ship, so when you crashed into the enemy ships they took damage. And the catapults were auto-firing all the time, hence the need for more batteries the more catapults you had. The game was in 3D, the graphics being somewhat similar to the flying simulators of that period, except it wasn't first person view, it was more like third person. I remember you flew around and battling other ships until (I THINK) you hit a boss-ship or something because I remember never getting past that one ship.

Edit: Oh yeah! The ships looked like flying platforms.

Naw, just remembering the name wrong.,

I'm curious too now, as I remember something with a honeycomb powerup as well....

nothing direct to contribute, but I was looking around and I found a thread like this one over on The Escapist that got up to 72 pages, so that might be a good place to look for anyone still stumped about a game

Thanks for the thread, I'll have a look through, maybe I'll find it in there ^^

Edit: I found a pic of a game, which looks similar:

Difference is, that it really wasn't letter-based, but the layout is about right..
Never any doubt!
Just want to know if anyone knows any of my games I asked about?
I love MTG! Mill Decks especially.
There are 2 games for the NES that I have no clear memory about.

The first one is a top-down scrolling shooter, and you're a dragon.  I remember that you can actually turn into a two-headed one, but that's it in the end.  I guess the only other helpful clue is that the game says "Rest: x" instead of "Lives: x" Tongue

The second one was some sort of secret agent game or something.  I guess you could say you were a SWAT team trying to dodge spotlights and baddies, and sometimes snipe dudes out of windows in some segments.  What I thought was most memorable about this game though was that each time a member went down, this funny looking baby angel would fly on the map screen.

It'd be awesome to get my memories restored, because I somehow remember the second game I mentioned being really hilarious Cheesy
Waiting hurts my soul...

First one is most likely Dragon Strike.

I'd have to look around for a bit on the second. What was the point of view for it?

Rescue: The Embassy Mission ?
I love MTG! Mill Decks especially.
Hmm the first game isn't quite what I remember.  The way it played was quite similar to stuff like Raiden or 1942

For the second game, I just took a quick look at Youtube and yes it's Rescue: The Embassy Mission Cheesy  I get to see the silly looking angels again!

Willing to teach you the impossible
NES game. The only few things I remember about it is that your character is rather big and you use a big ax (I think). The first or second stage I remember being mostly white. That is about all I know... Any ideas?

Edit: Side scroller
difficult and stupidly random
Astyanax is a NES side-scroller with a large character who (sometimes) wields an axe.  I don't remember a mostly-white stage though.
