Hello everybody, I hope anyone has some ideas about these two games. I've been looking for them for quite long now but with no success...

The first one is some sort of a fighting game, where you played a character that looked something like GOKU. The fight took place in a static room. This was a multiplayer game also, where up to 4 players played together against other 4 PC players. Every character had some special moves which were activated by pressing a sequence of buttons. But I am not really sure where we used to play this (PC/Famicom/NES).

The other game isn't really a PC game but I still hope someone has some clue on it...
I played this a lot with my friend on a Family Computer (Famicom). The cartridge had a character on that looked like Mario (but this was anything but a classic Mario game). You played this character and had to complete different stages (themed stages like ice and in clouds...The view was from the side. As i said, I think the game had a multiplayer option but I'm not sure. If I find this game I'm gonna buy a Famicom just to play it again because it was awesome :D.

Thanks for all your help!

Not sure about your games, but I've found tons of oldies I forgot the name of using MobyGames.

We can probably help but we need more details. Your Famicom title sounds a bit like Doki Doki Panic, but I don't remember an ice theme. The first title though.... That describes pretty much all the fighting games. But, you say it was four player combat. That would be impossible on the NES and Famicom as the Famicom controllers were attached to the system (Limit of two people) and the NES didn't have any games with more than two people playing. There's Bomberman... maybe..... But that requires a cable splitter and I've never heard of one existing until Genesis.
I googled for "Famicom 4 players" got a list of all the games that supported some 4 player-apparatus, and one of them is Nekketsu Kakutō Densetsu that sort of looks like a fighter thing. Don't see a Goku, though, and the video only has a total of 4 brawlers and not 4 against 4.

/edit: ...is the fighting game Little Fighter 2..?

I've tried with MobyGames but with no luck unfortunately.

Yes, I know the descriptions are very poor, but I hardly remember more...
I would be 100% that the Famicom game included the word "Mario" in the title, but when I looked for a game with this search criteria, I found only the classic Mario games...This game was nothing like that, no mushrooms, no growing/getting smaller. The ice/snow-themed room had ice spots, where you could slide across and some ice cubes melted if you standed too long on it...And there was a cloud-theme i think, where you jumped on clouds, some where moving left to right, up and down... This is what i remember. I'm gonna ask my friend if he maybe knows more, but I doubt.

The other game...well, as I said, the characters were all looking like some japanese anime/Goku-style (small). They weared Karate-Gi uniforms, white I think. I have no idea here we played this (but PC is more possible than others). The characters had special moves, activated by pressing buttons. And the view on the combat was like [url=http://www.google.si/imgres?q=karate+combat+old+games&start=196&um=1&hl=sl&biw=1280&bih=607&tbm=isch&tbnid=slXulzY7TIsncM:&imgrefurl=http://www.filebuzz.com/findsoftware/Fighting_Game_Animated_Gifs/1.html&docid=rCpYsUhSSYD0SM&imgurl=http://www.filebuzz.com/software_screenshot/full/302369-Street_Karate.jpg&w=640&h=480&ei=CL9PT_qOBsXNtAbNmomBDA&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=385&vpy=255&dur=2314&hovh=194&hovw=259&tx=121&ty=212&sig=104267016089389614530&page=9&tbnh=126&tbnw=165&ndsp=28&ved=1t:429,r:2,s:196]this[/url]

I know I didn't write anything new, but this is really all I can remember. If I come up with some new ideas, I'll tell. In the meantime, I hope someone thinks of at least some similar games, that would help me. Thank you again! :)

Oh god, that's it!!! :D:D It's this one! I don't know where I got the Goku-style characters idea, it was totally wrong, but I'm so happy I found it. Thanks Adzeth!

It does sound a lot like Super Mario USA, which was what Super Mario Bros 2 was called in Japan (which in turn was Doki Doki Panic but with other sprites)


Did you know: While we in the west never got the "true" Super Mario Bros 2, until Super Mario All Stars at least, Doki Doki panic was originally intended to be a Super Mario Bros sequel, but the plan was scraped for some reason, in Japan.

Same game universe actually. Just a different game.

I know it sounds almost like a classic Mario game, but it isn't...One thing is that the character in this game is a little bigger on-screen like classic Mario.

Are you sure that it was not one of the plethora of pirate Mario games? If it was one of those, then it might be nigh impossible to find the right one, as most of them were never added to any database online, and the vast majority of them were utter garbage. Somario was probably one of the best ones, and even that was horrible.

I'm fairly certain I saw this somewhere before :)
Anyway, I see you had more luck here than in Starinarnica.
Maybe it was a Goemon game? I could understand someone thinking Ebismaru looks like Mario.

um.. other platformers... Bonk's Adventure? Adventure Island? Mr. Gimmick? Little Samson? Kid Kool? Kid Nikki?

Gee, didn't even thought of that. Maybe it was some sort of pirate game...But I can say, for me, it was an amazing game back in the days, we played it numerous times with a friend, it was real fun.

Hehe, yeah, no such luck on mn3 like here :P.

No, none of this...And I'm certain that I played it on Famicom.


Hmm...just remembered that I must have some Famicom cartridges left somewhere in the attic, gotta check if I found anything...
