Do you remember anything else about the game? Was it shareware, was it for DOS or Win 3.1 or another OS, or what year it was released?

Someone must remember! Back in the very late 80s or early 90s there was an arcade game at a corner store I used to frequent. It was a sidescroller beat-'em-up style game with a fantasy/Greek mythology theme. You rode around on a tiger flinging a mace at giant monsters. You could also get power-ups in order to ride around on other things. I only remember one specifically -- a giant with whom you could punch and kick the monsters. It was very gory for its time. Heads would fly off and bodies would dissolve after bursting into puddles of blood. Even the intro involved a village getting attacked by monsters where a woman gets stabbed in the face. Somebody, please...What is the title of this game? ?!!!!!!!!!!!

An old-school PC strategy game with a map that had bases which generated drones for you to command. The AI had the same type of units as you (which had different graphics based on the level: knights, samurai, robots, and boxes of french fries). The object was to build more bases and control more of the map than your opponent - trying to take over everything.
Win 3.1 or Win 95 - probably freeware/shareware. Definitely a real-time game; your army of little drones ran around pretty fast. You could change the speed at which the game ran, since you offered strategic direction rather than micro-management and thus could let the game run at times. Also, the game was played on a grid: not a visible one, but all the game spaces were squares and your guys moved on horizontal and vertical lines.

Some Korean MMORPG or something. I think it was more of a belt-scrolling brawler, and it had this almost Persona-like art style.
The thing I remembers the most is that it was urban/supernatural themed, and there were three weapon types. I recall two were a gauntlet and a "knife" which was sized more like a sword. The weapons I think had a single color and all of them had a massive eye.

A side scrolling platformer on the NES. I believe you began the game in a town and had two options available to you. Walk to the right and jump down a well where you could sit until you died or walk to the left and sink in some quicksand.
For the longest time I thought I had dreamed the game up until I asked my brother about it and he remembered the frustration we shared at it's seemingly impossible first stage/intro.

I remember playing a PC shmup back around 2003. It looked kind of like Raiden, in fact, I even thought it was Raiden at first, but it wasn't. You have your standard machine gun as a weapon and two types of missiles, stingers which explode and nuetralizers, which are used to take out nuclear warheads at the end of each level. Between levels you would get newspapers talking about your progress and a commanding officer who would praise you for beating a level or yell at you if you blew up the warhead and killed everyone in the area. The final boss was a giant mothership with a rotating shield that would regenerate rapidly.
When I talk about it, no one believes me. By the way, the game was very easy, maybe one of the easiest shooter I've ever played. I got to the final boss the second time I played it and beat the game the next week. I also remember there not being very many powerups either, meaning that you were stuck with the machine gun, stingers, and nuetralizers through the whole game.
Can anyone help me out with this? Thanks.

That's amazing! I checked a bunch of old sites and databases looking for it and came up with nothing. I'm more than certain it's Drone, especially after looking at a few screenshots and reading about the mothership only coming if you disarmed all the warheads. Thanks for finding it!

Can someone tell me what the hell my friend has here? What's the exact name so we could search for it online? It's for the PS2 as far as we know.
