Try Doom Troopers. There's a segment in the first level in which you have to shoot bad guys on a water fall and jump on them to progress.

Damm, yeah, exactly. Ty.
Man, this game holds up in the visual department. Almost donkey Kong level.
Is it really that hard to look up a list of Tom Clancy games?
It's either Hunt for Red October, Red Storm Rising, or SSN.
Whenever I see threads like this it reminds me of some game I played on the NES back in the day. Some segments were like bullet hell flight, like Gradius, and other parts I was fighting in a dungeon. It was super tough, and I beat it one day while a friend was watching me play, and I remember him saying that the game should "suck your dick" for beating it.
All I remember was a kick ass CGI trailer at E3 once for it. I was surprised because it was a Wii title and it got me super hyped that the Wii might meet the graphics of the competitors (I was 15 and clueless lol).
An era mate (Like the hat? ) has a friend with a friend in need :)
I have a librarian friend who asked me about this but I have very little computer game knowledge. This was something she had asked to her so it's third hand knowledge to me. Was just wondering if any of you had any possible ideas.
Thanks for the help! Anyone have any ideas?
Edit: it was a game called Zoyon Patrol

I'm trying to remember a Game Boy where it's sort of like an action strategy thing, and you have these formations of Japanese warriors - a ninja, a monk, a samurai - and each one has a different power and can also turn into a huge godly spirit monster.
Mercenary Force?
Skip to 0:30 to see the godly spirit monster transformation.
Jeremy Parish did a Gameboy World episode on this game:

Okay, i'm trying to remember a pre-school to kids game, one of those cartoon simple that tried to be sold as educational. It was at an old computer my aut had, i can't recall if t was a Mac, PC or one of those console-PCs like Amiga. It was around 1994 to 1997, dates could vary. I remember there was like a mode to see videos or something in a cinema and you can control some actions of the espectators and one of them was an elephant that ate popcorn.
PC game?Trying to help a friend out and they only really have an old photo of a tv to go off of. From the 90s most likely, Adventure genre perhaps.
Hello!
I'm trying to remember a very old Macintosh "game". A bit more like an animation toy where you could record your own "movies".
You could move several preset animations on the screen, and select a background. When moving objects, you'd be recording frames.
Every new "frame" of animation did a "Bleep" in a loop of four, increasing a colorful counter on the top left.
You could also draw custom images and drag them around, add obnoxious sound effects...
Then save everything and replay it.
The logo was a purple flying saucer with lights, spewing a flame from the bottom. In the back, I remember a film strip.
The flying saucer was one of the animations.
Other animations included what I remember being a juggling beaver with big eyes, a boy, a girl, a cyclist, a running leopard, a green alien...
Anecdotally, since I was a kid I thought the game's name was "Untitled", since that was the default name everytime I would save a file (and I didn't understand english).
Probably a similar generation to KidPix (~1995?), since there was a demo of it on the old computer.

this one is tough. Sounds like one of those 3d movie maker "games" but i don't know.
It was definitely 2D, the sprites looked hand-drawn, but the background were photographies for the most part.
But yeah, I've been looking for years and it's quite specific so I guess it's not that easy.
Thanks for trying anyway! :D
No problem. Haven't given up though. I'll keep trying to figure it out. I like a good challenge.
You can check out this link for a list of similar software for the Mac, might be something in there.
Thanks! I checked earlier, it wasn't in the "Creative" nor "For Children" lists.
There's Magic Theatre (for Windows), has a lot of similar mechanics but it's probably not it. Apparently published by Knowledge Adventure who did the JumpStart games as well as the Spider-Man and X-Men Cartoon Maker software which is very similar as well.
Do you think that by "F-Zero like perspective" she means a mode 7 game? I took a quick look at the games that used mode 7 and there's a handfull of racing games but none fits the bouncing mechanics from what I saw.
Help me with this, I played it as a kid on PC.
A top down game, I think it might be classified as real time strategy? But i dnt remember enemies. You control yellow creatures, they have oval bodies, the head is attached to the body , kinda like kirby. They can plant trees and build technologies, they get tired and sick, when they get sick they turn green. Some might turn red, I don't remember why.
Edit: I looked up it's description, someone was asking about it on some thread in another forum too. Here is his description:
"
1.you are controlling a yellow thingy unit and make a village.
2.it will need energy to build, so you need to grow apples.
3.it play the sound "nyum! nyum!" repeatedly while eating the apples.
4. the yellow thingy will die if you order it to make a wall because
it will use all of his energy when building a wall.
5.the enemy is a blue alien."
Edit 2: OMG found it, Planet Blupi

I had the same thought but the only ones I could think of were Top Gear or Street Racer.
Could it be Stunt Race FX? I'm not sure how intentional any bouncing off the wall mechanics are though.
Maybe Terra Incognita, one of the PS1 Net Yaroze games?
I've been wanting to ask about this game in this thread, then I did a few searches on Google and Mobygames and actually found the name. So I'm leaving it here just in case anyone's looking.
You fly a hover car around a cyberpunk style city hunting down bounties. The gameplay is pretty simple but the design of the city left me a huge impression back in 1999.
I thought it was G Police that I played, but it wasn't. Turns out it's this quite obscure game called bhunter.

Hi guys! Looking for a game. I am unsure about the platform (saw it on stream just briefly before falling asleep so I didn't get a name of it). It is a same concept like Dead by Daylight except it doesn't look realistic. It is more "cartoony". So one killer and 4 people running. It is about some kids that are trying not to be eaten by bad guys. I remember that one of the bad guys was a golden spider (might have been a skin for a different colored spider). When you get caught the bad guy puts you in the chair that gets rocketed into the air when the time is up if you don't get saved. That is all I remember. Thanks :)
If not Identity V it sounds similar to Lakeview Cabin Collection...but I've not got around to playing it yet so can't confirm for sure!
I've got one for you guys as well. It was a PS2 game similar to X-Men Legends (isometric camera, 4 player coop), but it was themed around vampires/zombies/werewolves/etc. and was fairly edgy for 13 year old me. That's about all I remember about it though, as I only played it at a friend's house for about an hour.
No, I don't think that was it. It was a lot edgier than that, and more of a shooter than RPG, I think.
A google search makes me feel like that might be it. I can't be 100% sure though.
The original Hunter: The Reckoning was only released on Gamecube and Xbox; the PS2 one is the sequel, Hunter: The Reckoning: Wayward. Then the third game in the series would be an Xbox exclusive, Hunter: The Reckoning: Redeemer. Yeah.
Here's a game I can't find it. It's basically a shoot-em-up (or was it a shooting gallery game? I'm not sure) taking place in a human's mouth, and you have to eliminate germs before they infect the teeth which will then get pulled out. It's not strictly vertical/horizontal scrolling game, instead you can freely move around the playing field, a little like Geometry Wars. I think the game is endless, but it gets quickly difficult as it throws in too many germs, so I couldn't last more than a few minutes.
2D graphics, and it wasn't really a good looking game. I used to think that infected teeth look grotesque, though. Very likely a PC game. I played it around 2000-ish.

Hi.
ok there was this game I rented as a kid for the SNES that had skiing, I think snowboarding, and a third winter sport.
And I believe it showed a map of how far you were after the round was over or something.
And I thought it used mode7 but actually it could be that it never did.
I'm sure I rented this game a little late into the SNES life and I really liked it.
If this game really existed and wasn't a false memory of mine, what is it? I've always had that burned into my mind. I loved going into the small room the SNES was in, and playing that winter game I rented on the small TV.

Ok so I'm having a huge brain fart, I remember this game so vividly but I can't recall the name. I tried google searching some images to no avail.

Help will be much appreciated.
Edit: Never mind, a friend helped me out with this. It's "Pitfall: The Mayan Adventure"
