Old Game Classics - Let's have them!

Psycho Fox - MS

Everyone has to play this vastly underrated platformer! I think it's now on the Wii virtual console too.

I doubt anyone here has played it, and it's not really a classic to be stacked up with many on here, but:

Fight for Life - Jaguar.

A 3D fighting game where you nick two of your opponents moves when you win, again underrated really.

Paperboy was brilliant. What was that game on the same system with ninja stars?

I know, I'm the vaguest man alive.
 
Ninja stars, someone must know what I'm talking about.

Ok, that other game, I'm sure it was a game called Sim something, and it might have had 3000 in the name, maybe not. It was a puzzle game if I remember correctly. Top prize for whoever gets it.

Are you sure it's called Ninja stars? What system(s) were these games on, and roughly how old are we talking?

No :lol:

When I say Ninja Stars, I meant thats just something I remember in the game.

I can't seem to express just how vague I am.

I can't remember the system, I played that round someones house I would go to regularly. It was around 10-12 years ago I think, and it might have been Sega.

SimCity 3000 (SC3K)

Nah it's not that one.

I've downloaded that before and it's none of the Sim City games (I used to love them). It's something much older and very different, it would have an inspector going from building to building solving mysteries and finding clues I think. It was cartoonish graphics and I remember it always being night in the game.

It's an old PC games but I can't remember enough of it. I think I played it around 7-10 years ago.

Yes, but it's not that one. The only thing I remember about it is I played it with paperboy.

there was another game i had that i cant remember the name, it was a vertical scrolling shoot em up, you were in a fighter jet, it always had the "Red 5 standing by" at beginning of the level, it wasnt a star wars game.
