Sounds like Another World/Out of This World, only it didn't have a tunnel nor sunglasses.
I don't recall many Psygnosis games set in a modern day world. I'll go check.
Edit: Nope, couldn't find anything like that. Closest thing is Nitro, which features a car driving in a tunnel/parking garage, but no guy opening a door.

I thought about it being Another World, but I seem to to remember it being a platformer. And it was set in the future or some sci-fi setting I believe. I don't believe it was one of their "bigger" releases. I'm pretty familiar with most of those.
Maybe if I can get some time I can draw what I remember later.
Searched through their entire library and still no luck.
Yeah I have gone to the various sites that archive this stuff and I haven't found anything either. I am starting to think that maybe it wasn't a Psygnosis game. I was pretty certain it was. The high quality cinematics were a trademark of theirs. But maybe it was somebody else.
It makes me crazy I can't remember what this was. I think I have probably tracked down every game I ever played on the Amiga at one time or another except this one.
Here's something that's been bothering me for a while.
Years ago, I remember playing some game on a Mac in a bookstore where you wander around some building, and I remember there being a whole bunch of puzzles/toys sitting around. I remember a game where you have to bounce toast around with a toaster and some ant thing where you place food being located in the same room, and there was also an elevator that you could use to move around between sections.
Were you wearing a blue coat and a yellow hat in that one?
Game. Futuristic. You run around planting and throwing bombs. Very arcadey. I wanna say Zero Bomber but Google brings up nothing.
NOT BOMBERMAN.

Oh, it was either a Sierra or Maxis thing I think... maybe from the people that made manhole, and maybe one or two other similar games... thinking thinking
I fucking loved that game. Fucking spent decades playing it as a young kid, knew it forwards and backwards. So many secrets and easter-eggs. Kind of a non-game though. Kind of buggy.
Just a weird little dork world to get lost in.
edit: never knew it was the myst people, funny. OH SHIT. You know what, I actually spent more time playing Cosmic Osmo, crap I loved that shit. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmic_Osmo
edit edit: Cyan, that's right. Dunno who published them.
I remember playing my first game at my Uncle's house on his NES. It was a futuristic, isometric racing game and the track started to vanish if you took too long.
Any ideas what it was? Sorry to be so vague, but I was only about 4 when I played it.
I beleive you are refering to Galaxy 5000. An Isometric (more or less) racer where you could fire at the other racers, pick up money, weapons and sheilds in the form of colored orbs on the track. And aside from trying to place there was a time limit that when expired would cause the track to evaporate. All tracks were named after planets (I beleive starting at Mercury and going outwards)

I played what I believe was a demo. This was a DOS game, Win95 or 98 era. It was very low-res and gritty.
Anyways, in this top-down game you're a caveman and your goal is to survive. All I remember is that you had an incredibly unrealistic time limit (diminishing stats - hunger, health? maybe thirst, too) to accomplish things. You had to find a pond with water and then find food, but not get killed by a tiger or dinosaur or something. I remember having a rather ineffective club.
I don't remember the game having any stated goals or anything - or any text for that matter, just that I could never go longer than 5 minutes at a time before dying and hating the shit out of it.
I've spent an entire day on moby games and wikipedia and google trying to figure this out, just for the sake of knowing what the fuck that game was. I think this was spurred by me playing Lost in Blue on my DS a while back and having flashbacks. Now I need to play THAT again... ugh!
And while we're at it, any good games similar to lost in blue?

It was a PC game of undetermined age, it seemed old but could have been a small production staff. I suppose you could call it a survival rpg.
I believe it was set in medieval or pre-medieval Europe, possible Norse. It was really in depth, Dwarf Fortress reminds me of it. You had hundreds of things you could do to try to survive, but most things were conveyed through text. For example, you could choose to try to climb a tree to reduce being attacked by an animal while you slept, but you risked falling out of the tree. You could break specific parts of your body in the process. I remember it was excruciatingly hard.
I don't recall the main interface (whether it was Dwarf Fortress-roguelike esque) but I know that it conveyed somethings in some crude blurry pictures/photos. I found it through Gamespy a decade ago when I had no taste in gaming websites, dont recall if it was tossed around the forums or if it was Fargo's game of the month.
So, PC medieval wilderness survival rpg thing, any ideas?
A really odd shooter for PSX you where a chef or something and you fought slime blobs and some other weird looking monsters in some trippy looking levels.

You guys never cease to amaze me. I read through this thread in an attempt to help but I never recognize any of the games. Are you all game-guru's or do you have googling powers that surpass the vague descriptions given? I may never know...
(seriously, the one in the OP, how did someone figure that out?)
I don't doubt it's quality, but Tail Concerto: A game where you're some kind of dog cop in a mech with noodly arms that catches cat pirates in bubbles? Something has to be lost in translation there. Though I guess it being made by Atlus increased its likeliness to be rediscovered. I've noticed lately Atlus has a decent following around here, which surprises me as I have never played any of their games and am only familiar with the titles of a couple.
Here's one. There was an edutainment game I loved back in the day starring Mickey Mouse. It was on 3 Floppies, and it was full color with vocals. It had a point-n-click interace and you basically took Mickey through his day from waking up, brushing his teeth, making breakfast, and then you called up a random friend (Donald, Goofy, etc.) and went out with them. Then you came home, made supper, and went to bed. With some other activities possibly mixed in there somewhere.

Someone please name this one because then I will buy it and play the hell out of it.
Edit: Wait, you said you could shower with Mickey right?
I remember this SNES game with a really generic title. I wanna say Dragon something. You walked around an open world in first person view until you came across an encounter, which looked like some fog in the air. Then it would go into 2d combat mode. There were some caves, and thats about all I can remember.
also the world was really bitching hard to navigate

Did that world happen to be in really, really early 3D, have a party of 4 hard-coded characters (fighter, healer, wizard, and some other dude that I'm guessing was like a ranger) and play this sound during conversations with the extremily-rare NPCs that sounded like the teacher from the Peanuts cartoons if they were a male and a bass singer? Sounds like Drakkhen, and lord did that game suck.

Drakkhen is a game you abolish from memory for good reason

Ok, here's one. It's another Laser Disc game from way back when. Similar to Dragon's Lair but not quite. Had another generic sword wielding hero but he had a companion with him. Near as I can remember the companion was sort of mexican looking, and always traveled with a donkey/mule. When the shit went down (action sequence) the companion and donkey would always find a safe place while the hero took care of business.
I don't remember the name, the dev company or even if there was a story.
This is an arcade game I played all of once and never found again
It was sort of a Contra/Metal Slug shooter kind of game. The controls were set up so that the joystick you controlled your character with could be rotated in each dirrection, which changed which dirrection your gun was pointing independant of your movement. (Similar concept to Forgotten Worlds, only not a horizontal shoot-em-up)
I only remember one boss, being a tank you had to crawl underneith and shot from the bottom (using the above joystick to crouch then rotate your gun to shoot upwards).

Def looks like his description. Great game too.
Silent Bomber. That's it!
I'm looking for a PC game, I think it came out in the late 90s. It's basically a gauntlet clone with funny characters saying funny things
Get Medieval?
yes!
I never caught much hype with Darkness but the above was so much worse due to being a prequel to one of the best shooters on consoles in its time.
Edit OH SHIT yes i had completely forgotten about Sunset Riders. I'd rented something like it once and could never find it on sale.
