If you can't remember the name of a game, you can help us identify it for you, with this checklist (the more info, the better!)

1. Possible name of game
If you have an idea of what the name sounded like, or a word it contained, list it here.

2. Game genre (General)
e.g. Adventure, Bat and ball, Beat-'em-up, Compilation, Construction kit, Data disk, Educational, Futuristic sport, Games (Board/card etc.), Maze game, Platform, Puzzle, Racing, RPG, Shoot-'em-up, Simulation, Sport and games, Sport management, Strategy, Sub-game collection, Text adventure, Wargame
(or a combination of several)

3. Game genre (Specific)
e.g. Tetris clone, Breakout clone, Thrust clone, turn-based

4. Viewpoint
3D, First-person, Horizontal, Isometric, Multi-directional, Vertical

5. General dates
Any time-related info?
e.g. if you know when you first played it, the search can be narrowed down, as it won't be a game released several years after this date.

6. Commercial status
Could the game have been shareware or was it in a box e.g. commercial?

7. Other specific info
Anything else which will help.
