I played it when i was younger but i can't remember the name.... 
(RTS)  
 
Here's what i remember: 
there were two factions: aliens and humans 
 i remember that the humans had  
-like a trooper or something (infantry),  
-a two legged robot (like an AT-ST),  
-a tank (i think),  
-and i remember a cyborg (which had a cigarette in his mouth...) 
 
and for the aliens there were also  some infantry, and i remember a weird creature that had like two huge kinfes growing out of his shoulders or something... 
 
 
and i also remember that the main base you could only upgrade it so you can train ppl( like the infantry, cyborg...) you couldn't build like the barracks in another place...just upgrade your HQ   
 
I would really appreciate if someone could reply

When were you younger?

It would help narrow the search if I knew the year.

i wished i knew...i just can't remember.... but i remember that in the human campain  it was a mission on which you were captured by the alien forces and you had to break out of the prison....i remember in that mission you could find other captives(human infantries) in the prison which would join you in breaking out....

i hope this helps

if i had to say a year i know i didn't play it earlier than 2000....i don't know if it helps....
i don't know the year the game came out in, i just know i didn't play it earlier than 2000

You control a tank, and in one mission you are on a tropical island, there is a cave and a nudist beach...

OK so this one's a bit of a weird one.

I remember playing it on the DS (more specifically a DS Phat so it would've been sometime 2005/06)
Whenever I think of it, I immediately think of Earthbound/Mother which makes no sense because I've never played those games, and neither have they been on the DS
I think, however, the style of the game was quite similar. You were a small boy, travelling around a world, top down. I remember being in a metal ship before leaving to a island-style area afterwards.
I think it was an RPG but I don't really remember an 'in depth' battle system
I remember collecting crystals...or something like that for a professor
Aaaand that's about it. I will be equal amounts impressed and grateful if you guys can get this :)

@X19: Wow, that's some power you have sir. Thanks :)
Great game, if not odd. Great use of the dual screens though. I think it was compared to Mother, that's where I got confused.
Bravo none the less.

Okay, how about this one: it was a long time ago, but I'm pretty sure it was a PS1 RPG game. You start out as a kid who finds this small pink creature, but in befriending it, pretty much your entire village becomes afraid of the both of you, forcing you to leave. I didn't get that far into it, so I can't remember what happens beyond the beginning...but I do remember that the little creature evolved and changed into a variety of  forms depending on how you raised it.

  • I learnt a bit about identifiers so now I can link you directly to the question without you having to scroll down to find it on the page. I'm still weighing up if it's worth the effort on my part but try the latest two question links in the OP to see it in action.

@AlphaDormante:  Sounds like Guardian's Crusade. I own it but I never beat it.

edit: 

@BJS2:
's jungle harbor adventure game sounds a lot like the second EcoQuest. Apparently what adventure games sorely needed back then was more sequences where you pick up trash.

@Mento: Sorry to keep on but when you reply to two people in one comment only the first gets a PM about it. I asked Coonce about it a while ago and that's sadly a limitation.

So yeah you have to find his question in the thread, press reply and then give him the answer. 

I might write on his wall too with your answer.

@BJS2:  EcoQuest 2. Probably. Apologies to X19 for having to chase me around, I hadn't heard of that second reply thing not getting a notification. I was fairly sure I'd been notified before now when I was the second or third reply in someone's post.

Funny if it turns out I was wrong about the game all this time.

@Kelmaro: Countdown Vampires? I'm just going off detective, gameplay and big building. Was it a survival horror game like  parasite eve/resident evil or were the controls and camera angle the only thing it had common?

@X19: Nope that aint it but it was that type of gameplay tho one thing i can mention also but not to sure of is that im pretty sure it was made in japan cuz i think it had a anime vibe to it but it was in english if i remember correctly and i can also mention that the main character is a guy but also i think you might of bin able to change characters in the game i think it had some melee combat in the game with some characters

Edit:
oh and it wasnt really like a horror game from what i remember but the lab part of the game i remember i think you had to fight like a mutant type of a guy that came out of some big test tube thing i didnt play the hole thing so i dont really know if it was a horror game or not

@X19: Thread is still looking good. I'll be sure to start answering more when classes are done. Just recently I had helped Xeiphyer find an old PSX Turn Based SRPG called Eternal Eyes. So I have that itch of hunting down old games.

One thing, on the Thread Archive page, all the spoiler tags are open (cept the final 2 two on page 3) and after the names of those who have answered the question is:   %26nbsp%3B%26nbsp%3B%26nbsp%3B%26nbsp%3B

Other than that, still looks good. I'm also gonna change up the QotM to something else. What's a good one that has been stumping people for the most part?

Okay, so my cousin had this game for the Sega Genesis, and it was a really shitty side scroller. It looked like a cross between Fist of the North Star and some kind of Roman gladiator motif, if I remember correctly. The jumping was very bad and slow, as well as slow movement from left to right. Your enemies had a huge advantage over you, again if I remember this correctly. For the life of me, I can't remember the name of it, but for some reason I really want to play it and see if it was just my feeble child's mind that couldn't play the game right, or if it was indeed as shitty as I remember. Oh, and it was purely punching, as far as I can remember. May have been kicking too, but I honestly couldn't say.

@GreggD:  Sounds like Rastan Saga 2. That game definitely has bad jumping, slow movement, and terrible combat. It does have weapons, though, so it may not be correct.

@Mechanical_Ape: Definitely not it, but thanks for trying. Like I said, it shares its aesthetic with Gladiators and Fist of the North Star. So yeah, pants but no shirt on the player character.

@GreggD:  Sounds a bit like Gods, from the Bitmap Brothers. I remember playing it on the Atari ST trying to figure out why people liked it  - my experience was similar to your own it seems. Of course, I might be way off, as there was a throng of those barbarian-type platformers in the 90s. Onslaught's another possibility
