A videogame (I think it was an RPG) where when you died fighting the final boss, he'd narrate what horrible punishment he had in store for you. One of them went "You shall be given the punishment of "Enemy of the Gods" You will be reincarnated again and again, in each life being feared and hated..."

I'm trying to recall a game, which I THINK appeared on the Dreamcast.
It's a racing game, but the races were split into many different parts, all with a different discipline, so for example you'd be running, then you'd be on a bike, then swimming, that sort of thing, all in one race.

this was a console game i had tried out in best buy when i was young. it was basically some robot going around a house. it could collect "happy points" and i believe there was a little girl with a flower costume. it may be called chibi-robo, but i'm not totally sure.
help?
edit: disregard. i looked it up and it was indeed chibi-robo. though why it was at best buy is beyond me.

You know of an arcade game that features bowling. Not sure when it came out, maybe the 90's. But it had over the top slapstick humor (there was this one guy, in one case if he got a gutter ball he shrugged and suddenly a bowling ball hits him in the head where he gets a bump in the shape of a bowling pin) anyone know what the name of the game was called?

There was a computer game at my elementary school I played in the mid-90's. I'm pretty sure it was called Math Racer or Math Racers but I can't find any info on Google. 1997 or older. Basically, there were different types of races in the game, a jogging race, a car race, a bicycle race and a couple other races. You had to answer a math problem correctly to get further in the race and when you answered it correctly, your character shouted, "Yeah!". Can anyone help me find screenshots to refresh my memory?

There is a game I played once on the school computer in primary/elementary school. It was a pinball game, which ran on Windows 95. Various point targets to hit were named, variously, the "Super Implant, " the "Cybernetic Implant, " the "CPU Hog" and the "Ice Breaker." The background image for the pinball field was a woman in a red dress. Rumours that scoring high enough or hitting certain targets would make her dress turn green or make her take it off were NOT confirmed. The game would record three high scores and allow the high scorer to enter initials only. Allegedly, the background music was sexually suggestive and may have included heavy breathing sounds, but by the time I played it, the school administrators had figured out how to disable the music and I only played it once before they figured out how to delete the whole thing. Exactly what game is this? Where did it come from? Does anybody know? Even Google is stumped.

commodore 64 videogame, about a top down highway where you can drive a car and run over dogs and grannies. they leave a neat red puddle after you hit them. there are oil slicks and policemen (also squishable) and if i remember correctly, at the end of a run you are judged by your kill count; angel or devil scores, the latter if you avoid anyone and just race.

Alright, tell me if you guys know what this game is. I only saw a bit of it once, very long ago (2002-2005, somewhere in there). It was for PC, a fantasy turn-based strategy, with realistic, almost FMV-like sprites. Sort of like Pokemon, in a way. You had five monsters, and you fought other monsters that you came across, and you could convert them to your side somehow. The only two monsters I remember were a gold dragon and men made of fire (the battle that stands out were the party versus two of them, and there was a fire-man on the team afterwards.

Looking for a flash game I used to play. I think it was called something like "bloop"? Anyhow, you crash-landed on a planet, and had to figure out how to talk to the residents by repeating what they said back to them, until you figured out what each symbol meant. There was this side plot collecting flowers, and turning them into some sort of...drug? Anyhow, I think this is fairly well-known. Can someone give me a name? Thanks!

Okay, so I remember this one, vaguely — I rented it at Blockbuster and loved it to death. It was for the Nintendo Gamecube. It was about a pair of treasure hunters, one male, one female, but the female was a Cute Mute who only communicated through....I think it was a flute? You could also go to this guild to get quests and hire these other two treasure hunters who would join your party permanently later, or you could just skip paying those two and take your Battle Butler instead. The level I got stuck on was on some sort of airship? So Yeah. If anyone could help me remember this game, that'd be nice.

Years ago, I heard about a PS 3-exclusive that was being released in Japan only. It was about the current-gen game consoles as humans, and I think it was going to be an RPG, but I never heard any further word on this game.
What was the name of this game, and was it ever released?

There's a web game, made in I'd say around 2008, where you have to grow a colony of bacteria (sentient bacteria at that), and they start dividing labor of some sorts. Then, at the end, you put a lot of baby bacteria in a spaceship to do something or other. I remember the concept vividly, but the name escapes me.

I remember this RPG on the PS 2 where a dragon or something attacks your boat in the beginning and you crash onto a beach/island. You find this small settlement, and after you go into a dungeon thing-a-ma-gig you go back to the top and find it destroyed. There was also a fog or mist that was poisonous. There was a door near the beach at the beginning that I couldn't get trough because I needed some sort of gems/rings/whatever, but I think the door was black and white or had a black and white symbol on it.
My memory is somewhat foggy regarding this, so some of what I said may not match with the game, but I think it's close enough.

I remember this online game (maybe a flash?) from about a year or so ago. It was somewhat similar to Adventure Quest, but it was completely free and not as expansive. The art was 2d. I think my character was a brown-haired guy?
You played a character that could choose a clan that had elemental themes (Ice, Blood, Fire, Lightning, Wind, Water, and Earth), each with their own strengths and weaknesses. There was also this semi-plot about three political factions - one that wore white, one that might have worn grey, (the ones in white were these sort of Crystal Dragon Jesus-y imperialists and the ones in grey or black or whatever it was opposed the ones in white and had a very the Revolution Will Not Be Civilised feel to it. They hated each other), and one that wore green (maybe red) (aka Team Switzerland). Whatever faction you chose, you had to fight NP Cs for some reason or other. There were a few choices that you could make during the game. For example, I think I remember having to make the choice of killing this one NPC guy affiliated with water (all the clans had specific places associated with them. I visited them all. They all have a list of their elemental spells and a book with a list of all the players who had been in their particular clan.) that I was battling. I know that he allied with my cause when I let him free.
The fights were turn-based and usually against other players (you had to press a "Fight" button to volunteer). I remember that at the end of the game, you had to prove yourself worthy of being the leader of...something...and so you battled all the top NP Cs of each clan until they accepted defeat. Once you did that, you won the game (after a brief epilogue of sorts)
Ugh, this sounds so generic. Sorry. If anyone could help me out, I would appreciate it. Thanks.

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/

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'm not sure if this belongs here, as I don't know much about the work, but what game is the image here from? I know it's a game that can't be more recent than about 2003, and it looks to be PS 1 era.
(Again, I'm not sure if I have enough information, but...)
