I have some more. These are from my earliest ages into gaming, so my memory is super hazy. -This one was on C64: You were some kind of knight on a round descending platform and constantly in danger of being blown off from the platform by cloud people. So you had to steer against the wind to not fall down. Graphics were pretty good for its time, primitive 3D like Another World/Flashback. If you did happen to fall off and had extra lifes left there was this really silly death/reviving animation where you just collapsed into a heap of bones and then "reassambled" into a posing knight again. -Pretty sure it was C64 but not 100%: You were some kind of gnome or dwarf, top down view. I don't know the exact location, a castle or a house, I just remember that there was a secret passage in a chimney or something? I was too young to understand what to do in this game so I just wandered around while collecting stuff. I still remember it had a strange atmosphere and the music was really good. I guess it's too vague so I have to browse through C64 libraries for games featuring tiny people... |

I vaguely remember it but you could race in tournaments and create you own tracks. I do remember there was a level in a kids bedroom where you were able to got out the window and explore the backyard. --- End quote --- Stunt Track Driver. It was one of my favourites as a kid --- End quote --- Thank you so much! Now it's time to hunt down a copy on eBay. --- End quote --- I own Stunt Track Driver and Micro Racers, both good games, but in Stunt Track Driver you couldn't race, there wasn't tournaments either. Micro Racers was all about racing. Maybe you're getting the two mixed/combined? --- End quote --- By looking at screenshots I have never played Micro Racers but it does look like a fun game. Who knows what other game I could be getting it mixed up with. :o --- End quote --- I just installed these two on and old Windows XP machine and they are really fun, just as much as I remember them being. I played with a controller and it makes the experience sooo much better, I can't believe I beat these games with a keyboard back in the day. You could probably get both games for around ten bucks if you've got the disposable income. |

I just found out the name of mine. Plok on the SNES. I would always rent this weird platformer with this little pink Majin Buu looking guy who was looking for his Grandpappy or something. |

I've got one that I've never figured out. I've done so much research and tried out abandonware and was never able to find it. It was a computer game from the early 90s. I played it on a demo computer in the electronics store Silo. I do not know if the computer was a PC, Mac, Tandy, OS/2 or whatever else. I do know these facts: - medieval/fantasy adventure game style like King's Quest, Quest for Glory, etc - had text input like Leisure Suit Larry or King's Quest IV, using commands like look, pickup, pet, etc - had either a white horse or a unicorn in it - it had color graphics Not much to go on, but I haven't been able to find any text input games similar to the theme I remember. I do remember it being text input because I remember multiple times to figure out what word I needed to use to pet the unicorn/horse. |
