        So here goes...

        I'm looking for a space game, probably early 90s. It was a 3D dos game where you could take on different missions like space races, dog fights ( i think) but I don't remember it being a Space Quest type of game. I am pretty sure it was a spaceship cockpit (maybe view toggle options) and not much else, you really kind of felt alone out there in space, only with high quality 3D imaging. I don't remember it being super fast paced but I remember having the demo and loved it so much. If I can think of any other details I will add them.

            There was this math Computer game that I loved playing when I was little. That game was on a cd and it had monsters in it and it had a mini games it it that you could play and one of the mini games was a factory with pubbles and it was a skip counting by tens and you had to put the right amount of pebbles on the conveyor belt that equala the answer. I loved the game lots but I have no idea what it is called

              @Liv4life200 can you estimate about when this game was released?

                Oh man, here we go. This one's been nagging at me for a while. All I can remember is that it was puzzler on the PSP. It had something to do with moving multi-colored blocks around an area with a black background. This was probably 12-15 years ago.

                    I actually just found it by rooting around on emuparadise. It's just called 'Cube'. No wonder I couldn't remember it.

                      I'm trying to remember the name of a space flyer that had REALLY blocky looking robots to shoot, asteroids, cats, vampire bats, flying saucers, and you had to pick up astronauts that were floating around. You could recharge shields by running into these giant glowing letter "E"s.

                            As a side note, pirates! (2004) is a remake of this game and plays well on psp on raspberry pi 3 and has enhanced graphics and gameplay

                                YES!!! TY!!! Now I just hope it's on my system already when I get home... I am new to all of this and purchased a new system on Craigslist from a guy who deals in these.. He used one of those new $300 arcade game cabinets that come with 3 games... It's perfect size for my space... gave me the 1 ft stand riser too... After reading all the hardware costs on here, i think I got taken...... $600 but im loving every min of it... the SD card is packed with 132 g almost gone... I'm just glad there is still space to save games.. I suppose I could delete unwated games to make more room for saving games?? TY GUYS!!

                                  I hope it works out. You CAN delete games, or you can always expand your storage by using a flash drive or USB hard drive. I'm using a Seagate 1Tb drive.

                                      Nes, blue cartridge but not a religious game. 3rd person game of some type. Did some research about blue cartridges and they were supposed to be religious titles. This game was not religious. Very vague!

                                        @space-cadet here is an article about unlicensed NES games. I would imagine your game is somewhere on this list. Maybe under color dreams games.

                                          Ok- possibly the most obscure question for you all- and you’ll see for why...
                                          When I was a kiddy, I grew up with a bbc computer. There was a really basic 3D box generating programme which allowed you to build structures out of 3D line boxes. I’m dying to show my boys how Minecraft was for me as a lad!
                                          Obviously I have to run this via riscos so I really don’t expect anyone to remember this, and I’ve been through sooo many bbc publications/collections trying to find it. I could swear it was just called Boxes but that may just be my memory playing tricks as I’ve searched long and hard.

                                            I had a hard time finding this one last year,

                                            @Fruitybit I dont know any BBC soft but that did remind me of LOGO Turtle Graphics for the Apple II.

                                            And as for the one I cannot figure out; it was for early windows 98 but it did not work well on my computer. It was like a creativity 3d world creation, I remember it underwater and deep blue sort of and exploring endless nothingness in the empty world I generated. It was called something like "Beyond ********".

                                            And another I don't know this should be easy if I searched for it, It was early windows again and had three game modes with the main characters Felix, Keroppi and Hello Kitty. With Felix you would make animation video, and I don't remember the others.
