And the downright vague. I'll post this and see if this turns up, anyways.
A while ago, my mum helped with Girl Scout functions, and had to stop by another Scout person's house to get some supplies she needed.
My sister and I were in there for a few minutes with her daughters and their friends. They were playing some kind of platforming game, and for a SEGA system. It had the standard ABC controller, so it was probably Genesis or 32x, with sprite based graphics.
The only thing I really remember is green and purple cavern level, like Sonic Spinball's first stage, or Mystic Cave Zone. And yes, I am pretty sure this was not Sonic. I think it might have had separate screens which you continued on through, versus a true sidescrolling platformer, but eh.
I also remember two items being on the HUD, at the top of the screen.
This is vague, but at the same time, I am willing to look at anything anyone has to say about this. List all you can, please!

There was a fighter game on the playstation 1. 3D. I cant remember a thing about it, except two expecific things: two of the fighters. The first fighter look so damn much like a Red ranger. The second one was a man in a suit. Tall, whit a ponytail. He only fights whit one hand, while his other was at his pocket. When he uses his "super attack", he used both hands. Sadly, its all i can remember... oh wait, theres more. The suit man has some kind of relationship whit a girl, who has similar fighting style.
Thats all i can remember; thank you.

This was a Windows game made around the late 90's. It was a first-person game sort of like Myst. You wandered around a large building (museum?). When you clicked on something that wasn't a door or passage, you'd get some text or video about something strange and/or supernatural. When you found a door, you'd solve a simple puzzle (like a Towers of Hanoi puzzle or something) and go to the next room. I think the CD itself had a picture of an eye on it.

About a year ago on here I was reading a page that might have had something to do with Moral Guardians and What Do You Mean, It's Not for Kids?, one example mentioned a video game that had been rated M just because there was a texture file labeled "Bare Breast", even though it never actually appeared in the game. And other than that it should have been rated T. What video game was this? Thanks.

There was a computer edutainment game that was used in the school I grew up in, and my friend and I just started talking about it but can't find the name of it anywhere. It was a typing game that involved some alien green blob. The other thing I can remember is there were two hands, a blue one, and a yellow one, that were the aids for players. Anyone have any ideas?

A game with dinosaurs in it for the Playstation 1. Not sure if it had humans in it or not. I remember the first level was a jungle and there was a ditch and I think some velociraptors and a triceratops. Not sure if it was a Jurassic Park game or not. I think it came with the Playstation itself. Everything is a blur and I owned it around the same time I owned Crash Bandicoot. Different types of guns may have also been involved. I didn't get too far in the game.

Okay, I remember having a game on my PC when I was maybe 6-8 (So that would be 1996-1998) and, to be honest, I don't actually remember what it was about. It may not have even been a game. It seems like it was maybe a writing program (Something like an educational creative writing thing?) All I remember is, the mascot/guide or whatever was this guy with a huge nose, big feet, blue skin, and a Hawaiian shirt(? Maybe, I just remember it being something hideous.) And since I wasn't too interested in using the program for the writing or whatever it was for, I would click around and found out that there were little easter egg animations hidden everywhere. Example, if you clicked on a doorknob, the door would open and several random things would run out, or if you opened a window birds would fly in. It seems like it may have been set in either a museum or a library. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

Trying to recall a game that's been bugging me for a while. Only played it a bit, but it was interesting at the very least. It was a 3rd person shooter for the original Xbox. The main thing is that you controlled a guy in a rather small mech suit, however, you could ditch the suit and go hijack other mechs for different abilities. IIRC, the original suit was bluish in color, and was only slightly bigger than the character himself, but you could get even bigger suits. I can't remember how it related to the hijacking, but I know there was a hacking mechanic to it.
Some of the levels I remember are fighting in a forested area and in a city at night. I do know that they were all objective based. The final (I think?) boss was a gigantic mech whose face was the size of the starter mech (and you could only fight him in the starter mech), and it was important that you could hack his face for something. I can't remember a whole lot though.
I may have screwed up some of the descriptions, but I think I got it. Anyone know of this?

Late DOS game, from at latest 1995. I can confirm the date due to the demo disc it came on, being the first in a series called the Empire Demo Discs, which was shown off at the first E3 in 1995.
It was a vampire hunting game, with some exploration. I remember everything was divided into screens, but I can only remember one for a map of a room, including markers of where everyone was, and a text box. I also guess this must have taken place in Scotland, as I remember a message about getting the Scotland Yard upset and taking you away. The map was also represented with ASCII/ANSI.
I also remember the title screen had a clock on it, and may have been a red-brown color.

A friend of mine has been trying to find this game she says she played once, but can't remember what it was called, or even where she played it. She says she played it about a year ago.
- She says it involves stacking colored blocks that have various interlocking shapes on the tops and bottoms.
- The blocks rested on this platform or “wagon”.
- Once enough blocks were stacked correctly the platform would be dragged away to the left by some sort of animal, she says it was monkeys.
I’ve looked everywhere that I can think of, but I’ve found nothing. It’s obviously an in-browser flash game, or Pop Cap-esque casual game.
Can anyone help me?

I'm trying to remember if there was a game like this when I was a kid, because it was one of the first 3D game that was on either the SNES or N64 (I had those systems only at the time).
The gameplay looked RP Gish. Whenever you bump into monster, there was a white (hexagon?) ring that acted like the arena with you and the monster in it. It was also action based, as you could swing the sword to defeat the monster.

In the very early 2000s (as early as 99/00, no later than 01,) I played a Sesame Street PC game starring Elmo. It consisted of about half a dozen mini games. One of them was a game where you could make a face, all with Sesame Street style eyes. The door to this game had a freaky face that scared me. There was also some kind of word game I remember. On the main screen where you could pick a game there were butterflies that if you clicked on would multiply, and Elmo would say "Do-Re-Mi-Fa-So-La-Ti-Do". Does anyone know the name? Thanks.

I'm looking for a Star Trek (or Star Trek-esque) video game that was on Windows from the 90's or possibly early 2000's. It was possibly based on The Next Generation but I'm not sure.
It was played from the first person perspective of someone aboard a starship. The main thing I remember is that right at the beginning you talked to another character who hid his combadge in one of his hands and you had to guess what hand it was in. Later in the game you got to go around the ship, I remember the bridge and engineering were accessible.

It was a Bugs Bunny flash game on the Cartoon Network website in which you served a bunch of other toons food in a restaurant. I haven't been able to play it in a while and don't remember what it is called. Any ideas?

I'm looking for a PC game made sometime, I believe, in the 90s or early 2000s. I think it was edutainment, but I'm not terribly sure. I remember that in the game, you had a net that you could catch these gnomes or dwarfs with, and if you managed to catch one then they would ask you a question or something like that. I think that if you got the question right, you would get coins. I'm not sure. You're on a mountain trying to reach the top. At multiple points in the game you climb a ladder. The bad guy sometimes shows up when you're climbing. I remember sometimes he would get really angry at you and would turn red and then smoke would come out of his ears. There may or may not be a castle at the top of this mountain. This game may or may not involve magic dust or something along the lines of magic dust.
I think this might have been in a series of games. One of the other games involved swimming in the ocean.

Pretty sure this was an SNES gane, but might not be. It was an action adventure game, with solvable puzzles, ala Zelda, but I think the sprites were more realistically proportioned, though quite thin for it. I think the first dungeon was a cave, and you got a ring to help solve puzzles, but not a Tales of game.
I played it on a whimsy many years ago, but can't remember the name of the game now.
Okay so this was a game I played back around 2004-2006 approximately. It was a flash or java game, I know it was in-browser. The gameplay consisted of moving someone in a mecha-suit thing around a hexagonal grid and killing your enemies, but it wasn't bloody. Very high-tech and gritty feel to it, the graphics were dark I know that. I want to say it was on Cartoon Network as a game, but I remember playing this twice then never again but I loved it. When you died, a little capsule shot out of your suit and I presume that was your character. Also, I remember two levels distinctly; one was plains surrounded by mountains and building ruins, another was a long strip of land with three units on each team. I remember searching for this but being unable to find it.
