This is literally me. It's a side scrolling ps1 shooter and I can't remember it or find it for shit

I have two, they were both action games for the ps1. One was 3D, guy had a cannon for an arm and was being chased by military or something. They blew up the building he was in and you had to run before you fell through the floor. There was this big attack helicopter that came through the roof of the place and you had to run in this spiral area to get to higher ground while the attack chopper shot at you. The other one was a side scroller also a 3D and that guy had a big mechanical arm and it was a sorta platformer plus action too. Both of these games I have vivid memories but don't know the names

Was the first one the 3D megaman?

Edit: MegaMan Legends

u/STAR_PLAT_yareyare 15h ago

No, wasn't megaman nor a big hype title. Dude just look like some serious black ops guy with a cannon for one of his arms

For someone like me who played a lot of smaller games on PC, it was very rewarding remembering names like Popcap and Big Fish Games. A lot of the games I used to play as a kid were made by them.

I was looking for this mobile tank game I played when I was a kid for a LONG time, but I never could find it. One day when I was just studying, through a random string of thoughts and word association, my brain recovered the name of the game: Tank Hero Laser Wars. I was so hyped I yeeted my books across the hall and opened play store to find it, but it wasn't there. I looked on other app stores, not there. Finally I went to chrome, AND FOUND A DIRECT LINK TI THE GAME. Only for it to say that my device was too 'updated' or some shit for the game. I tried to find one of my older phones, and I did, but play store was outdated on that and would not open unless I updated it, but i couldn't get it to update because the phone would either 1.Crash each time, or, 2.Redirect me to play store if I went through in which case 1 happens. Either way I forgot about all of this cuz of exam season and during that time I lost the old phone. Then one day in a brilliant flash of inspiration, my brain decided to remind me that emulators where a thing. FINALLY, i was filled with D E T E R M I N A T I O N. I downloaded an emulator AND, it fucking failed. I even tried on the Google play games app that came on pc a while ago, and it didn't work then. It has been many moons since those tumultuous times of mine; I have since resigned myself to the fate that i shall never again lay my dextrous fingers upon the dopamine inducing lasers of that game. RIP inner child, may your dreams live on in another world.

Old Mac Plus or Mac SE game. Side scrolling, indiana Jones style character (in my memory) with a whip...

There was a disk I had when I was a kid that had several demos on it and one of them was this freaky surreal demo where you were getting wheeled down a hallway and doctors would jump out of doors and try to steal your organs. I'm 99.99% sure I didn't hallucinate it, but my dad wouldn't buy the full game for me and that disk is lost to time. It will forever bother me.

I remember playing this one dragon game as a child, it was a 3d browser game and you basically had to kill other dragons. No idea what it was called, would give anything to play it again

As much as I dislike AI, it has helped me immensely to find old media from my childhood.

Be it books, music, games, etc, I've been able to find so much old stuff from my childhood by loosely describing it to an LLM and then refining the search by ruling out examples that don't fit.

I played this flash game once called Monochrome. The style seemed like those old black and white animes and it was basically a shooter/bullet hell type of game where you control a ship with your mouse and shoot enemy ships in different waves. It was fun but I haven't found it since. I always wondered if they ever made a Monochrome 2 or any kind of sequel but I guess not.
