Hi guys,

I would like to know a forgotten name of a PC game which I played it on my first PC. So it goes like this

* Its a FPS game, who is a COP [remember more like a [strike]fe[/strike]male character]
* Some kind of electric guy shows up in between the thugs
* Game starts with chaos outside police station
* Shooting happens on teh rooftop
* Can use COP vehicles [only cop vehicles i guess]
*the game happens only at night [new]

thats all i can remember, i was so addicted to the game during 2007 [game may not be from 2007] and now i forgot the name. Please help me with game name.

In Virtuacop, you will just move your mouse to shot enemies, and to select a path.
Moreover, you will only see the crosshair of the gun in a screen against NPC's.

If you can see the body of the character you are playing, it is a Third Person Shooter for First Person Shooter.

VirtuaCop is a arcade shooter, you cannot move, you can only shoot at enemies and your character moves by itself after you have killed off a wave of enemies.

- - - Updated - - -

Is it Resident Evil 2 by any chance? From what I remember the first stage is set in a police station.

Is there hand to hand combat too? In that case it could be Oni.

Is it Urban Chaos? But this game is a TPS and has this electric guy as villain and has drivable vehicles both police and civilian. The protagonist is a female cop.

Well, now that digitans have successfully "cracked this code", why not try to identify another game.
Its a game I used to pay when I was in school, about more than 10 yrs ago, in game parlors. It was a great game with awesome graphics, but I forgot the name.

1. It was a side scrolling game and was played from left to right (like Contra)
2. During the start of the game, a helicopter used to drop the shooter with a basic gun
3. The premise was a desert in first level
4. Player could be resembled with clothes like Alladin. And villians were all humans too, so no zombies etc.
5. During the game player could get more powerful guns and the upgraded guns used to be awesome
6. Graphics was just awesome, not like Contra, but much better, with no clear boundaries around the objects, but blurred pixels (I don't know how to explain this)
7. The player was static, means it seemed like he was moving, even while it was standing still. Like he was breathing heavily
8. At the end of first stage, a BIG creature/machine used to come from top, and the player needed to shoot it while avoiding the bullets from the creature/machine.
9. The game had multiple levels, and some levels had to be played scrolling down to up. (again like contra)
10. Game could be played with two players simultaneously.

I don't know if I was able to paint a clear picture, but I don't know much apart from it. Do anywhere remember?

Jul 10, 2014 at 2:59 PM
So here's my "which is this game".

1. It was co-op.
2. My brother and I used to play this and I think there were 4 players. 2, me and him, and 2 AIs.
3. They were all dressed in red clothes and there was one big dude, one lady and two other guys.
4. It was 3D top-down like. Enemies were humans
5. I clearly remember that I could get an axe from the wall by breaking its case. (Err.... lels?)
6. It's an old game.

Thanks for your help in doing a favour for my nostalgia.

Yea. I forgot a lot of things. But the screenshots on google reminded me of many things, like
* People also used to throw knives to the protagonist
* That old man, who use to be tied up in ropes, and when I freed him, he used to take out a pant and give power ups from it :p Then he used to walk away which seemed like some form of dance (imagine an old guy walking/dancing casually in a freaking war! xD)
* The camel on which he could rode!
* The bombs which he could throw to destroy many villains in one go! .... etc...

Btw, on the related note to the Old man with Pants in Metal Slug...

My turn:
1. Played around early 2000s
2. You play as a cop operating a Mech taking down the mafia.
3. Mech was a bi-pedal, with ability to change into a hovercraft.
4. View was isometric top-down
5. Graphics were good for that time
6. You could play in vs mode as well with another player in split view, taking down their base
7. Weapons - guns, rockets, mortars, lasers
8. Played it as a demo from a tech magazine CD (Chip i think or maybe Digit, don't remember)

....and yeah, +1 for sticky

its an RPG with 4 classes of characters (Barbarian,Knight,Dwarf & a Female character)
good story & graphics is also good (way back of 2001)
hack & slash,lots of blood (better blood effect than POP),
lots of combos,weapons etc

i have played it with many MODS of it

It's developed by Codemasters

it came BEFORE warcraft 3

Forgot the name of a game

Hello everyone, Once i played a fps shooter in which the player had strange power in his hands with which he can make older things new again and vice versa.I used to kill enemies with this power.As far as i remember the game was set in a lab which was inside sea. I totally forgot its name. Can anyone tell me which game was that ?

Guys, There was an old game which I played 10 years ago.. probably it was 2000. It's a medieval age game where the protagonist is a female and we can summon dragon by pressing v and can ride by mounting on it. The story starts with the girl coming to her village and seeing the dead bodies of her village people.

The dragon battles are unforgettable. Also there were many colored swords each with different powers.
