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.

There were these two browser-based games I played on my computer many years ago. They both starred a guy who was very typically Australian. The first game took place in Australia; I believe it featured a minefield at one point (at the very least, it had a pub owner say "Ah, go jump in a minefield!"). The second game has the MC's great-great-great(etc.)grandson take him to the future to save Earth by doing stuff on the other planets in the solar system. Both games were puzzle-based, probably even full-on Adventure Game.

Trying to remember an old (10+ years) MAC videogame that was a series of puzzles you could play in any order. The story had this mad professor having broken his brain into segments (each segment was a puzzle type). The puzzles involved reconstructing music, navigating mazes, moving a marble around a faux-3d environment, and more.
The intro had some over-the-top narration, including a dramatic introduction of the professor "My name is (something) P. (something) the third. The P stands for puzzle. I am (dramatic pause) THE PUZZLE MASTER"
You were guided into each puzzle by the professor's rat, who somehow had acquired intelligence.
Thanks in advance,
Grey Wolf

I'm trying to find this game, but I don't know where to look. I remember playing it on the iPhone. It's this game where there's a ninja running up a wall, and when you tap the screen, the ninja switches sides. If the ninja hits a type of thing/animal in mid-air, something special happens. and when you get 10000 points, you see the dragon. Does anybody know what its called?

I remember playing this FPS on my PS 2, the main character is badly injured at the start, the guys he works for decide that they can rebuild him, while giving him certain augmentations, like better reflexes and he can create a shield to protect him from bullets. I think he had glowing arms but I'm not sure.

A short flash game that was sort of in the Point-and-Click style. I have no recollection of what the actual plot of goal was, but the main character was a young man and it had a present day suburban setting. The main thing I recall was that one of your items was a Devo Greatest Hits Album, which the main character looked upon with disdain. There's a CD player in one area, and if you put the CD in, it starts playing a loop of the first couple bars of Devo's cover of "Workin' In A Coalmine" (the main character admits it actually "doesn't sound so bad"), which I think unlocks a door or something. Other items you picked up were probably also mundane things that ended up being oddly useful, as per usual with the genre. There was voice acting, but I don't remember any score other than the Devo loop. The art style was fairly minimal.

There was a mid-'90s PC game that got rave reviews, but had horrid sales and wasn't heard from again, far as I know.
It was a kind of action/combat game with an RPG Gabriel Knight vibe. You, the protagonist, are a werewolf who can change from human, to wolf, to hybrid form, as the game requires. You have various weapon options, but a peculiar kind of glaive was the real showstopper. Ring any bells?

I used to play an arcade game from 1981 to about 1984, of a car racing around in a maze and shooting enemy cars. Each level the maze got more complex and garish. It was one of the first videogames I got good at. The game was monochrome and 2-dimensional. I forgot the name of that game and its parent company, and I have not seen anything like it in games for console or computer. Could someone name it?

Anyone know a NES game, a generic side-scrolling platformer game, where the main character as far I remember is a middle aged man, who can create sort of block of platform (there is limited 'ammo' for the block), unlike the premise of the game is manage those block so you can reach higher or other side (I remember in the first stage there was huge gap that can't be reached with ordinary jump, you must create blocks), he can kick too, there is also bosses each end of stage.

I seem to remember a flash game, a role-playing game with extremely simplistic graphics, somewhat Atari-like, with solid-colored objects and mostly-black backgrounds. I think you played as a ninja, but I'm pretty sure you were magenta in color. You fought with a sword that was shaped like a trapezoid, and if you leveled up enough it could reach truly ridiculous sizes. I seem to remember fighting golems. I'm not sure if it was in English or not.

My friend told me about this game a long time ago and I forgot to take down the title (or I wrote it down on my phone, which has been replaced twice since). The game was most likely for the Nintendo DS, and began with an announcement that the protagonist's parents were dead. The hero then got the ability to travel through time and fix whatever had gone wrong, including bringing his parents back from the dead. Might have been a Squeenix game, but I'm not sure.

I remember seeing this YEARS ago on Gamespot, as a few screenshots of a new disaster-based video game. I can't for the life of me remember the title, or really anything beyond the fact that it was for the previous console generations about about surviving real life disasters (I think Hurricane Andrew had screenshots). I'm guessing the game fell into Development Hell and has been quietly canceled, because there's nothing about it and even the Wikipedia category for survival-based video games has nothing on it. It looks to have been a third-person game, and was suggested to be a free roamer.
Can anyone find anything on it? For the record, I've looked at virtually every disaster-related game I could find and no dice. So it's definitely never been released, and may not have ever gotten anything more than a few scant previews early in the alpha stage from Gamespot and IGN.

There was this game on my PS 2 Demo CD which involved you running around in dungeons, finding houses which you could then place on a big empty meadow. Once you placed them, you could enter them and talk to the owners of the house. The graphics were pretty bright and it was a typical Third-Person-RPG (IIRC). The plot was somewhere along "So there's that village, and then there's that evil cult that banished the village and placed shards of it in dungeons, so you go to the dungeon and rebuild that village by finding the shards". I played the Demo like hell back then, but eventually, I forgot about the game. Until recently, where it popped back into my mind and drove me crazy. Of course, I don't have the demo CD anymore. >_<
So, does anyone know which game that could be?

This was something Armake21 covered before his account got deleted, and one of the few games he actually enjoyed and just did an LP for. It was an FPS, I think for the original Xbox or the 360, that had a standard "Amnesiac wakes up in an office building and has to use the combat skills he never knew he had to fight his way to safety and solve his past" plot. He used an MP 5 for pretty much the whole video, and unlike pretty much every other game the protagonist was seen taking the magazine out of a gun and pocketing it whenever he took ammo from a dropped weapon. He regained health by drinking sodas and eating energy bars. I think there was a part where there was a helicopter shooting through the windows at him.
And I'm pretty sure the game started with a mandatory firing range tutorial. Like, the guy was locked in this room and given daily training for some thing that never got revealed.

An edutainment game, probably amiga (not sure if it was ported to other computer systems), that was set on a space ship, where you needed to open doors by spelling words correctly.
Can't realy give more at the moment.
