It's not on mobygames...

[Derek]

Maybe I'm just losing it, or maybe it was on SNES or Genesis? I can't remember. All I know is that I was young and impressionable and it has burned itself into my brain.

I'll bet you it was on SNES...

Look through this list and see if anything pops out at you: http://www.tbstactics.com/2010/04/list-of-turn-based-tactics-and-srpg.html

No. I remember it being fantasy as there was some kind of magic. IIRC, one of the earlier battles happens in a castle of some sort.

I remember it looking a lot like Fire Emblem... but that wouldn't run on a NA NES, right? We'd need to have had a Famicom? And the scale of these fights seems to grand. I remember the movement being interior or a castle courtyard or something, not a world map.

If it was genesis it could have been Shining Force:



That game is very similar to Fire Emblem.

Was thinking the same thing.

I tried to find a game that i played on an NES i think. At least I remember holding that controller.

It was a platformer where you were some square sized kid, i guess around 16x16 and you were able to walljump and i think you had a sword slash attack, but dont quote me on that. It's possible that it was a ninja kid and i could swear that the name was something like alex kid (and the... in the... whatever subtitle), but it was actually not alex kidd.

I remember from the stages i played that it was pretty bright, light blue background and  brick tiled city environments.

Any idea?

All I can think of is one of the Wonder Boy games.

I've got a twist on the thread. I remember a game, and the name of it, but it shares it's name with a more recent series of block breaker titles, making mine difficult to find.

Continuing this, there's an old DOS game Paparazzi I'm trying to find. It's a first-person exploration game in a raycasting engine, which has absolutely nothing to it besides wandering Hollywood and being hounded by paparazzi.

Had lots of secret areas. Had been a staple of freeware sites. The generic title makes it difficult to find these days. Anyone have it?

Old PC rpg very much like Baldurs Gate (from what I remember). It's probably from 99 or earlier and I think it was German. I can't remember anything particular thing to describe it.

@Mono: Could it be

?

I've been trying to find an odd game for MSDOS, 256 color 320x200 VGA (I think), where you were a little greyish round circle, with a '+' or 'x' in it, and you had to move about the screen and collect things without running into other things. 

What I remember most was the mouse acceleration & movement momentum mechanic.  The circle would drift as if in zero G, little to no friction.  It was maddening, but with practice one could gain fine control.

I remember being able to shoot at enemies if you collected certain powerups, and become invincible and destroy things by running into them.

I think the game name had an x in it, but I could be wrong.

Nope sorry thats not it. Its not quite as old I think and its 3D.I actually have no idea when it came out.

[s0]

Neverwinter Nights?

Neverwinter Nights?

No this game is probably not that well known.

[Core Xii]

I played this game a really long time ago, on a Mac I think (not sure). It was like space invaders, where you had a rocket ship at the bottom of the screen, against a space backdrop, with all manner of spacey things approaching from the top of the screen, and your task to shoot them. I specifically remember one of the enemies - A flat planet, not unlike Earth, that would stick to the background as if it were a surface, fold and flop down repeatedly.

^ Found this.  It's

(video - Mmm, love them cheesy sound effects).



There's a sequel, which I almost remember playing, and source code has been released for both.
Yay!

Druid: Daemons of the Mind comes to mind, but that's not German and it' from 1995. I remember playing that once and it felt like the weirdest thing ever.
