When I was a kid, I remember playing some 8-bit game either on the NES or Atari 2600 (it was probably the NES), where you controlled some little Mario-looking dude in an overhead view, and the objective is to make him walk from one seagull to the next in an attempt to prevent him from falling into the water below. I have no idea what it's called and haven't seen anything like it since. Thinking about it now, it's sort of like Frogger, but with a guy instead of a frog. I seem to recall the character's attire being a mixture of white and blue, like maybe a white hat with blue overalls, or vice versa. If anyone can figure this out for me, I'd greatly appreciate it! A couple of discrepancies, but this sounds an awful lot like the "Turtle Bridge" remake for "Game & Watch Gallery 3" on Game Boy Color. www.mariowiki.com/Turtle_Bridge

Not so long ago, a prominent member of the Gamengai forum (RIP) discovered and was in the progress of dumping an rad two player ninja action platformer arcade board for MAME. I cannot for the life remember the title? Can anyone help me out? I want to know if the game is fully playable these days on MAME.
He was also busy with two (not one!) F-zero like Arcade racers... any help on these?

I visited a site a few days ago, i'm pretty sure it's not dead.

What is this screenshot from? Sega Genesis/CD I believe. Is it Snatcher?
Never mind its Illusion city.

There is a game I used to see in the Arcades back in the late 80s early 90s. The game looks like “Gun lord” with impressive graphics. I believe with a female protagonist. It’s not “Turrikan” nor “Psycho-Nics Oscar”. At one point the protagonist jumps in water and there are Stingray like creatures flying or under water. The weapons look similar to the ones from “Gun Lord”. Can you guys help me figure out what it is? Thank you

The graphics were graphics were cleaner and more advanced.

I've been trying to remember this for quite a while now... about 15 or 20 or so years ago, I used to play a procedurally generated space traveling game/program where you could find planets and fly around their surface and IIRC even discover some creatures... basically like the idea of No Man's Sky without the shooting and with much, much lower fidelity.
Maybe it wasn't on the radar as a /game/ so much when it was current-ish, since you'd just fly around and couldn't actually interact much with anything except naming planets you found?
I thought it was named something like Stellaris, but I'm not sure if I mixed that up or if it is just impossible to find under that name because of the Paradox Interactive game...?
Anyone here who can tell me I'm not just imagining all this?

Oh yeah, that's the one! Traveling space in that thing was such an oddly eerie experience.
Thanks! Now to try getting it set up in DOSBox...

The game I'm looking for is an early fantasy-themed arcade beat-'em-up. It's much less well-known than Golden Axe, and it's not Tecmo Knight aka Wild Fang. It's a side-scroller with the Z axis (ie not one of those isometric Taito beat-'em-ups, and definitely not Rastan, which isn't a beat-'em-up), and it didn't have the basic attack combos ofevery other beat-'em-up - it would just do the same attack over and over. It probably came out in '89 or '90, but I'm not 100% on that. Certainly before 1993. I'm positive it was made by a Japanese company. It's also not Rastan III or one of Capcom's.

Sounds like Irem's Blade Master.

Someone is asking around for a PS1 RPG that starts with a game of hide and seek. Assuming the description is accurate, I'm not having any luck finding it. None of the usual suspects apply so I'd appreciate the help.
