Thought this would be a great discussion topic. Hopefully we can help people curb that nostalgia they crave by finding out the name of that long lost game we played in or youth.

I've got one: The game was on PS1 I believe. All I remember was that it had co-op, you were in these f-zero looking things in a tunnel shooting aliens/bugs to music like Crystal Method's Busy Child.

1. Point and click game from the late 80s or early 90s. Might have been an educational game? Was all about intermingled fairy tale characters that you were helping. My after-school child care in first grade would never let me play it, so of course I wanted to all the time. Definitely not King's Quest.

2. Old PC baseball game I remember was on a 5 1/2 inch floppy disk we had. I don't remember anything about it other than I never figured out the controls. And that it's forever stuck in my head. Slugger? I dunno.

Can anyone remember the game from 360/pc where you play as a solider but he's having PTSD or essentially having a partial breakdown as it's happening? It takes place in the middle east, it was kind of a cult classic on GAF but I'll be damned if I can remember the name or find it from google searching...

Edit: Spec Ops: The Line! Dman, that took way too long to try to find.

I have been racking my brain and need help on this.

I partially remember a turn base tactical wargame (I think I remember hexes) from the 90s, pretty basic 2d graphics (probably of Japaneae origin, but running on PC / DOS), which was about Mechs being dropped on missions via parachute I think, most if not all pilots being Women (anime style graphic avatars), and I distinctly remember opponents being mostly tanks.

Ring any bells? Pretty please?

Edit: didn't see there was another thread, this one showed up first in a search.

NES game where you jump really high. I remember it being set somewhere in Asia maybe. Forest settings. Not Legend of Kage. I can't for the life of me remember the game's name.

There was this one adventure game that was on Wii. It was kinda like Fatal Frame but had anime graphics. It was kinda cute, but I never beat it.
