I posted something in Improbable Weapon User a while back. This is the excerpt:
"There was some game for the Xbox where your primary weapon was a coffin. Unfortunately, I can't recall the title for the life of me."
Does anyone know the title? I just now looked at Word Cruft and realized this was badly written.

I can't remember when it was but it was definitely in the 2000 era. My cousins were playing a game that was like a shooting game where you could freeze time, leading to Video Game Cruelty Potential.

I remember playing this game in Elementary School, say about 2003-2005 on the computer (Mac, probably), where I'm in a zoo and I have to go to different segments of the zoo to look at animals and there's this odd monkey and a weird bad guy that roamed around causing trouble. It probably was an edutainment game. Another game I remember from the same time period is this odd game where I end up on an island and I'm trying to work my way out by solving weird puzzles and moving from place to place. The only puzzle I remember vividly is where I have to construct the sail of a boat by fitting the given puzzle pieces into the triangular sail outline and the antagonist scrambles the pieces. This also could be an edutainment game though again, not sure on the specifics.

A videogame I played as a little kid so it's probably a bit older. I just remember random bits and pieces from it. There was an arena you could go to and fight different villains and characters to win points in and there were a variety of characters you could play but the arena wasn't the main point of the game. There was a character who had dragons or snakes attached to his shoulders who was obsessed with barrels, and a girl named Precious or Patience (something girly like that) but I can't remember much of the characters other than that. There was also this bunnylike animal that could carry you from place to place in its pouch. I'm also pretty sure it was a Japanese-made game. It had pokemon like graphics.

I remember playing a game in computer class in elementary school, probably made in the very early 2000's, ot very late 90's, about a blue bug who has to go on an adventure to find different color keys to unlock gates, to... well, there really wasn't much story, but the game was pretty much about finding keys to open gates while avoiding being attacked by other bugs. It wasn't an adaptation of A Bug's Life but had original characters. Anyone have any idea what I'm talking about? The only person I know who even remembers it is my brother who went to the same school.

There was a space shooter I remember playing a long time ago, but a little after the last one I posted at someone else's house. It was on the Playstation 2, and it was a side-scrolling space shooter. The first level I think, or one near the start at least, was a forest area. The screen scrolled into the sky at some point, and then back down later. Another level was underwater. I remember different powerups giving different shots, and the different shots were very colorful. There could be at least 2 players on the screen at the time, not sure if it supported more. The graphics were like Donkey-Kong Country or Vectorman, if I remember right. Does anyone know what this game could be?

About 8-9 years ago I played a game that was about how you got sucked into a world filled with friendly monsters and evil ones. It was on the PS 2 and you were taken into this flower filled room at the start of the game and you could make your own monster after a personality quiz to determine which monster you got. You played mini-games with the monster and I didn't get much farther in the game then that. I remebr vividly that you could go back and make a new monster and although you were supposed to trace around the monster part you could draw whatever you wanted so me and my friends made a monster that looked like a big fat block (It was the ps2 after all) does anyone else know this game?

I played this game on what I think was the original Playstation along time ago at someone's house we stayed at one time. It had the first Spyro game with the decorative-egg thieves, but what I'm having trouble remembering is this other game. The game had a main character who was a zombie of some sort, was missing a jaw, and talked to the statues of these gods in the hub area, which was a temple of some sort. The main character couldn't talk because of his missing jaw and there were subtitles on the bottom for what he was saying. There were these golden holy grails I think, or maybe they were called something cups I'm not sure, but they looked like trophys. There was a village or town full of brainwashedandcrazy villagers trying to kill you. There was also a level full of killer pumpkins and thorny vines, and at one point early in the game you unleashed demons from the sealedevilinacan , which was some stone thing. I have searched through various tropes this game contained, but can not find it, and I have no idea what it was called. I would like to know what it was and might watch a let's play of it if possible. Please help.

Another one for you.
Way back in the days of Pentium 200MHz processors, I had a demo of a game called Big Bang (awesome name, huh?). It was a space shooter by a company called Rayland Interactive, and I remember even on my cruddy PC it looked absolutely amazing and ran smooth as silk.
Anyone else played this? Searching on the internet it looks like it never actually made it to production. Does anyone know of its fate (and if it exists, where I can get it)?

There was this videogame that was either for the PC or the first Playstation. I think there were two (one and a sequel). I played them when I was little, so it was out around the mid- or late-ninties, but it may have been released earlier. It was primitive 3D animation.
The playable character was a cute green dinosaur with a tooth sticking out. He wore a brown backpack where a little friend of his stayed and gave him advice, kinda like Banjo Kazooie, but not. He was the only dinosaur, and all the other friendly NPC's were wierd but cute fuzzy/hairy creatures. The levels were set up with a central area with portals or doors to other areas that you had to beat before advancing to the next level. I remember that the first level had a beach where you had to fight the first boss, and the second level had a prehistoric theme, with lava floes and dinosaur bones.
I remember so much about this game(s), but I can't remember the name! (It's not Gex. I just realized there were some similarities, but that's not it)

These two are PC games I played in my childhood in my dad's office PC Windows 98 (or 95?) 1. A 2D sidescrolling platformer, the main character is a caveman armed with club or bone I can't remember, I only remember that if you hit something specific, a giant sized hamburger will appear 2. 2D Another sidescrolling platformer, the main character is a chicken/rooster with Megaphone as weapon Thanks in advance

I played this DOS spelling-focused game around 1993. The characters were Totally Radical gators (dinosaurs? dragons?) with shades. They would often go on road trips, and at junctions, would have to choose the correct spelling of a word, or else face disaster. The internal PC speaker was able to "speak" words in the game, even made-up inputs like "abcdefghijklmnop".

It's an old edutainment game. Played it in my youth, so it must have been released in 2008 or before. You have an evil twin. The narrator is a brain. C Omplete minigames/puzzles to unlock weapons allies. When you meet in teh city, you battle. Some examples:
- There was a female scientist/chemist which countered a fire attack.
- A monkey (looked like an organ grinder monkey) countered a giant robot.

an old computer game where you had to find dinosaur bones and you would walk around a dark empty museum and you could click on exhibits to find out about animals and dinosaurs and other stuff, you would find dinosaur bones by going down in this big machine and going through layers of rock and scanning dinosaur bones to see if they were from the correct age. Then when you found a complete set of bones you could make the dinosaur come alive again and it would wander around the museum and you could see it walking around. It was in the old looking 1990 sort of computer graphics.

Alright, years ago I played a point and click adventure game with a main character named Adam. He was the Prince of a fantasy kingdom in a world full of dinosaurs, some of whom were sentient. There were also lemur people and a woman named Eve who would team up with you. You had to find instruments to help the Lemurs fend off raptors as they built cities, and then you had to find pieces of a mirror cube so you could beat the final boss, who was a T-Rex, I believe. I never did beat it, although a walkthrough taught me how.
I put this under "video game", but it's actually an online dress-up game.It was really cool, with real people as the models and all of these choices for clothing and the clothes were actual designer clothes, Vera Wang and that sort of thing. I saw my niece playing it, gave it a try, spent like two days there, saved some pics and forgot about it until right now. I could actually really use it for a school project, if someone could help me locate it.
Here are some screencaps I took from the game the last time I played (which reminded me of it in the first place). Sorry about using Photobucket; I didn't want to link to my actual pic-sharing account, so I just used my old school one.
EDIT: Okay, so due to "no hotlinked images" rule, I can't do that. Just check out the most recent four - the side-by-side full body and face shots. http://s1218.photobucket.com/albums/dd415/Violanthe/
