There was a flash game I used to play a long time ago (read as: last year :smalltongue:) but I've forgotten the name.
The game allowed you to draw your own 2D race track, and you got to select between various vehicles to go on the track. The vehicles included: Unicycle, BMX, Jeep, Air Balloon, and Helicopter. You had to manually control the vehicles, unlike Line Rider or Pencil Racer.
Does anyone know the name of this game?

Free Rider and Free Rider two sounds like the game your looking for.

Here's a linky (http://www.onemorelevel.com/game/free_rider_2)

While we`re on the topic of forgotten games, could anybody help me with one?

It was a gameboy colour JRPG, very similar to final fantasy with the overworld, setting, and possibly the battle system as well. I forget nearly everything about it except around the end of the game you are given instructions from a princess or king on how to find the item that lets you beat the game. It might have been a sword or an amulet. The item was located X steps in two directions from the main town, on the overworld. (58 south, 73 east for example)

Ring a bell to anyone? I`ve got another.

Possibly in the same series as the first listed game, it had a similar overmap/battle system, and many other similar themes. Around the end of the game you enter the BBEG`s base (A castle or similar I think. It may have been in the middle of a lake/mountain/volcano) Upon entering he tels you that he is your father, and you should join him so you may rule the world as father and son (He might have just asked you to join him though, no father/son stuff). If you said yes, you got a game over. If you said no, you fight him. I realize this one is very vague and generic, but I have a feeling it`s related to the first one.

Anything sound familiar?

What the Baator, maybe someone can hep me find this game.

It was a game of dig-and-collect minerals. You controlled a mining apparatus that could fly up. You had to dig to collect minerals, and comeback to the surface to sell them. However, you had to manage your fuel reserve and cargo space to avoid being trapped underground. I don't think you could dig upward.

It was fun. You could buy upgrades, etc...

Seconded. I had the "Goldium edition" of that a few years ago.

Drager0, the second game you mention sounds distinctly like the original Dragon Warrior. The last castle is in a swamp, and at the very end of the game you're given the option of joining the BBEG. If you do, the game just ends. I don't believe he says anything about being your father, though.

Huzzah!!

If only they made an app out of that game. Lots of fun a la Dwarf Fortress-like prospecting/mining there.

Probably because they're the same game, (http://www.gamefaqs.com/gbc/378081-dragon-warrior-i-and-ii/images) Dragon Warrior 1. The original was on the Famicom (Japanese NES.)

So those games where dragon warrior 1 and 2, eh? After looking at the plot summary and a few other things, it sounds about right.

Thanks a lot! Now I know what my first JRPG's where!
