Games you remember, names you don't

Yeah I think that's it actually, thanks. :)
edit: Wait nvm it's not but I have played this. Was looking to find this too lol. I found it though it's called Graffiti Kingdom.
I played a racing simulator on PS2 that has several championships of the most varied types of cars, the damage system was very good, depending on the beat,you could lost the wheels, the wing, destroy the car and end your racing,it has races since the asphalt to the mud.
Going by your description it has to be Flipping Death:
There is also Death Coming for PC:
When I was a child, I played this game on the PS1. It has tanklike mechs and hawklike-planes and a base and you can play with your friend on a destroy the base or capture the flag I think. I remember so little but the level designs have this maze like structures on them.
i remember playing this on my older cousin's computer, on windows 95 or maybe 98. you were controlling a spaceship, moving only left or right, and jumping with space, and the world was moving towards you (like temple run or subway surfers), there were some blocks that you couldn't land on (not sure on this).
also i believe it was a shareware kinda thing, cuz there were a lot of levels but i could only play the first two or three

Okay, so I remember playing this soccer arcade game at Chuck E. Cheese's a long time ago. In the game you could use superpowers to block shots or shoot harder. The only super power I can remember was the goalie being able to erect a wall to block shots
Hmm, I don't think it was one of those, because it was definitely a turned-based RPG with a camera setup like Paper Mario (and, I think, handdrawn graphics like game #1 has). The player character might not have been Death himself, it might've just been a generic skeleton or something; I'm hazy on that detail. Definitely a 'skeleton-type' spooky vibe for the environment at least, lol.
But at any rate, those are two cool-looking indies I hadn't seen before, so thanks!
As proven on this very page! Anyone want to try to remember Incoming? :-)
I remember playing a game way back, not sure what platform to be honest but I was very young.
You were this sort of one legged/wheeled robot thingie, and a big part was building a roller coaster by the beach(?) and it went into first person every time you went on it. All I remember was constantly building roller coasters.

Nope thats not it. Game looked a bit like rygar i think.Master of Darkness?

On PC there was a game where you could play as two characters, Male or Female, it was a hack and slash game with map screen that allowed for different paths and apparently it was on a PS1 or PS2 too. For the hell of me I can't find the name of the game.
Might perhaps be Lady Bug? I know that had bonus vegetables where Pac-Man had bonus fruits, but I don't know which ones it uses.
The thing that's interesting here is that it's Colecovision, because that's got a relatively small library - only a few hundred titles. It should be possible to check each and every one. However, looking at Mobygames and filtering the way that seems most likely (Arcade/Action/Top Down) doesn't show any games that seem to fit that bill. Wondering if it's represented in some other way.

Ok, Resettis help me out: A PC game with winter sports, pretty sure it had 3D graphics but might be my brain tricking me, it had Bobsled, slalom, luge maybe, it was super hard for me for some reason, I played it in maybe 94-95-96 not sure because it was at my old brother's job and I was like 6 or 7.
Unfortunately its not it. I remember the cover being white-ish grey. It had plenty of CGI cutscenes too.
There was a game on a PlayStation 1 demo disk I believe? It was an arena type game with an overhead view kinda like DOTA. You fought against other people and laid traps to kill them. I feel like I remember it being kind of anime-ish. My friends and I played the demo so much we broke the disc.
Winter Olimpics: Lillehammer '94 would make most sense in that time period.
Like Polk said, probably Lillehammer '94. Or it might have been good old Winter Challenge. Seems like everyone had that game.
maybe we are on the right track. Forgotten Realms: Demon Stone?
No. I remember the game being a top down game like X-men Legends. The game is impossible to find
Trap Gunner?

That's it! Just Googled a YouTube video to confirm.
OH MY GOOOOD I'M SO HAPPY!!
It was Winter Challenge! I seriously am filled with joy. Thank you both!
No, I don't think so; though that's another cool-looking indie game I'm awaiting the Switch port for. I definitely saw a preview article for it some years back on one of the sites I frequented (Dtoid, Polygon, Siliconera). But I'm having no luck Googling, and if no one here knows what I'm talking about either I suppose I should just give up and assume I imagined it into existence, lol.
Remember playing when I was 8 a Godzilla like city destroying game on an 8 inch floppy disk running on a very old computer in the 90's. Computer didn't have a GUI but the game was fun, lots of ballistic trajectories. Can't remember much more, I believe it was colored though.
Growing up, my town's skate rink had a fair number of arcade games and pinball machines they'd bought through the years since opening in the late 60s/early 70s and the newest cabinet they had was Tekken 2 (to give a timeline to help anyone willing to figure this out). I remember playing a car game that had a cabinet design very similar to the upright for Cruis'n USA but I don't remember the game having 3d visuals at all. The gear shift design is the same as Cruis'n and a couple buttons to go along with the steering wheel, but I can't remember if it had two pedals or one (more likely one). A small part of my brain wants to say there were weapons for the car but I can't be sure. Unfortunately the skate rink doesn't have pictures of the arcade cabinets up on their website or facebook page.
You say no 3D visuals but was it a pseudo 3d game ala Outrun? Maybe Special Criminal Investigation?
OHMYGOSH IT IS SPECIAL CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION! Thank you so much, it's been bothering me for years that I couldn't remember that game. It took me reading a wikipedia page to remember the name of one of my favorite pinball machines there, Roller Games. Bless y'all.
