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.
The game is Ricochet, I remember playing it between 2001-2003, when I was in middleschool. There would be a ball rolling across the field, and you place diagonal panels to move the ball around the way you want. I think you were dodging things that would destroy the ball, in an effort to put it down into the goal.

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. 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. If it was genesis it could have been Shining Force:  That game is very similar to Fire Emblem. |

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?  |

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 The Summoning? 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. |

No this game is probably not that well known. |
