Ever seen a game that you thought looked pretty cool, but then totally forgot it's name?
Sometimes, google-fu isn't enough to find a game. That's where this thread comes in!

Try to describe a game you have forgotten as best you can, and other users try to help you remember/find it's name. Try to include roughly how old it was (Back when Quake was new? Recently released?) and any defining details or attributes you can think of. GOG veterans will likely find their services will be in high demand here.

Please note, if you give very vague descriptions, nobody will be able to help you. Consider how your description contrasts from other games. The more details you can give, the better!

Thanks to : Playingcards, who helped me find the game in my (now removed) example request!

I was going to bump it with a new game-seeking request, but my google-fu revealed it to be Lords of Magic

It wasn't a particularly awesome game or anything, but I remember just having such a "wow" moment when I was younger, when I realised just how much the musical themes of each army/element actually suited them. I'll likely buy it sometime during another sale just to get access to that music again.

I used to play a sort of free roam racing game on DOS (I had to start it in DOS although win 95 was on the pc) All I remember is being able to drive in any random direction, and using the enviroment to do stunts (I don't remember any scoring system, maybe because it was on a demo disk back then) I also remember that everything looked like it was build up in blocks and triangles (english is not my first language :p)every block in the game just had one different color wich made the game look very bright. I know this all sounds a bit simple and that may well be the reason i cannot find it.

I came across that game alot, but that's not the one, I should add that the game had a third person view.

Looking for a NES game back in the 90's

It was a sidescroller where you were a man flying from side to side as the camera keeps on moving towards to left , you were able to get pickups to get different guns , if you got trapped behind a wall while the camera kept on moving you would be killed if you were hit once you were killed aswell

On the second level its sort of a top down shooter where you move about trying to find the boss , the level had a purpley pink colour to it like a zerg type creatures and colour scheme aswell .

Okay, this one will be hard. I don't remember much of it...
You were in a tank, there were a lot of green soldiers attacking you, and you needed to pick up some people, I guess they were in white. You could ride over the soldiers and kill them that way, but you could do that to the white guys too so you had to be careful. It had top-down view, and in the third level there was some rocket launching from the rocket silo at the end of the level. I don't know more :C

No :( it looks kinda similar, but it isn't that. I think the screen was static, there wasn't scrolling of the screen (so you saw the whole map) and I guess it was on DOS/Win

Looking for a race game on PS1 or 2 not sure, it had an isometric view and you drove some nice coastal roads. It had some "normal" cars in it like a Volvo and if I remember well even a truck.

I hope anyone knows about this game cause it's driving me crazy that I can't find or remember. Btw I checked multiple wiki sites with all ps1 and ps2 games but still didn't find it.
