    ho-kai! long time visitor first time poster here and i absolutely love these forums :3 lots of fun stuff goin on :3 so i'm looking for a couple of games

    1: I cant remember what system this game was for but it was definitely either Sega, NES, or SNES (though i'm pretty sure it was for the NES) it all took place in a mansion i think, or some kind of giant abandoned house, it was done like Castlevania in that it was kind of free roaming. It was also 2D, you could find different costumes that would give you powers (like a ninja that threw shurikens or a knight that would jab with his joust stick thing). I dont remember entirely but i beleive you could enter something like a dreamworld and had a limited time in there before some monstrously powerful enemy appeared. I keep thinking something along the lines of Freddy Kreuger when this game comes to mind, it was also a good 15 or so years ago when i played this at a friends place XP

    2: This second game was a first person Star Wars game, it was for PC and i'm pretty sure it came out in the 90's. I thought it was Dark Forces but only found a PS1 version and it didn't look familiar at all.

    Any help at all is awesome :3 thanks ahead of time yo!

    1 - unsolved

    *EDIT so after doing some late night research i actually answered number two and proved my own ineptitude, it was Dark Forces XP

    I've been looking for this PC game that's kinda old. Set underwater, you build a base and stuff and. . . I'm not sure what enemies you face. I remember its graphics coming from the Red Alert era though. :\

    Could it be Legacy of the Wizard aka Dragon Slayer IV: Drasle Family?

    Outside the house where you start, before entering the dungeon.


    Final boss, near the very beginning of the game but you can't fight him till the end.

    Yeah, the second image I linked apparently doesn't allow hotlinking, but the overworld is the only screen that's anywhere near that bright.

    Thanks, and the menu seemed familiar, but it wasn't an FPS sort of thing. It was an RTS or something close to it.

    Could it be Submarine Titans? It seems most likely as that's the only real RTS looking game that pops up when I google "underwater RTS."
