I remember a top down game from the late '80s or very early '90s where you drive a car along a highway and try to defend yourself against other cars using different weapons and tire-slashing spikes mounted to your wheels.
You’d start inside a semi-truck, drive out of it backwards, and at the end of the level, the truck would re-appear and you have to drive into it again.

SlurpingPus,

‘Spy Hunter’? It was on a whole bunch of platforms.

mech,

YES, that’s it!

SlurpingPus, (edited )

Yeah this one was easy. I even forgot about the trucks (probably because they weren’t there in ‘Super Spy Hunter’, which started as a clone before having been released as a sequel).

SlurpingPus,

Btw, there were sequels ‘SpyHunter’ in 2001 and then ‘SpyHunter 2’, for PS2/Gamecube/Xbox and desktops — though not with the top-down view.

And there’s the 2012 ‘Spy Hunter’ for PS Vita and 3DS. Apparently also with the view from behind, and this time with poor reviews.

coaxil,

Major motion?

For me it is a ski racing game that looks like about 2005 or 2009 type of game and has a sort of athletic/olympic winter games type of vibe.

Doesnt look like it.
Additionally it was also a PC game on Windows XP.

Ok maybe Lemmy can help me. Does anyone remember a cartoon that used a key. A magic key. To draw a door and open to a new dimension? I have been looking for this show for decades and I can’t remember it. It had like care bare characters and children.

AngryPancake,

I only know Pans Labyrinth but it’s certainly not a comic

PissingIntoTheWind,

Nah. Think lte 80’s and early 90’s. I wonder if I dreamed this shit up.

ZoopZeZoop,

I remember that in Beetlejuice, and there was a cartoon version of that.

Ashiette,

Final Fantasy Unlimited ?

burntbacon,

A magic key to draw a door? It’s not the kid with the purple crayon cartoon?

PissingIntoTheWind,

No. Much older. Like lat 80’s early 90’s. I remember a friendly funny dragon with the characters.

I once played a 2D RPG which I got stuck in at a point, because I filled all save slots right before getting to a blocking battle, for which I ended up not having enough weapons^[I had recently bought a weapon I then got another one of, just before the battle (as a gift for the battle), but was useless, because only 1 of the player characters could equip that] and then just falling 1 or 2 hits short of managing to pass it.

I have been meaning to retry it from the start (it was a freeware, I think) but I can’t recall the rather peculiar name of it. I has been ~ 20 years.

Mine was a GameCube game that was my first RPG outside of Pokemon. All I could remember was the coverart being a kid with a big machine arm on his back. Took me till probably 2011 to figure out what it was.

It was Evolution Worlds. I immediately bought it so I wouldn’t forget it again. Played it and had fun till I got locked in an area where you have to beat a boss, but I was ill-equipped and I couldn’t leave from where I saved to grind or get more items.

Racing game, late DOS, possibly early Windows. Three “eras” of American cars. There might have been loops. Cockpit-view only I believe. Possibly some sort of jet/boost.

Strider,

Maybe fatal racing (whiplash)?

tordenflesk,

| have a n.i.c.e. Day?

That looks like it. Thanks.

mech,

Awesome game! I should try to find out how to play it today.
Edit: It’s on Steam for 1,59€!

tordenflesk,
SlurpingPus,

I’d try watching a ‘DOS racing games’ compilation video on YouTube.

Mine was a flash game, I think on miniclip. Sort of like a tower defense game but it also had a point and shoot cannon you’d use. Sort of near future kind of vibe. I think it had a green background due to being on a field. Top down. Main cannon was a big white one and you would build auto turrets to help defend.

Croc 2! I love him so much.

croc was so whimsical and fun

Soggy,

I prefer the first one but I love the little WAPOW boy either way.

Ashiette,

Both of these games were awesome. I used to play the first one from the beginning every week with my childhood best friend because either we didn’t have a memory card or the game did not accept saves.

chuckleslord, do gaming w For me, it was Microsoft Ants

I once played a first-person point-and-click adventure game featuring a player character who is a cyborg. I don’t remember much about the game, but I do recall quite explicitly that it had a Hard Rock Cafe in the game. Haven’t had any luck finding it.

I was thinking of the Firewall, and was a bit surprised - seemed outside your normal wheelhouse. This makes a lot more sense, lol.

AIV Network$ (A4 Networks) - I searched for years, the name didn’t make it easy to find.

Legends of Kesmai for me, I used to play it on AOL.

Lunistice is quite fun. It’s not groundbreaking but I enjoyed my play through of it. It’s not overly long either which is a positive to me.
