That would be Exile series by Spiderweb Software.

Namely, Exile III: Ruined World or something like that.

However 2001 is a bit too old for that, so try checking the official remake, Avernum 3

Space ship game recently changed its name. A big feature for it was that your ships have captains with thier own personality. uhm and had really cool space battles.

Can you muster a little more detail?  Are you certain it got released?

In control of a single ship?  Graphics looked like they'd be new in what year?

[ScriptWolf]

In controll of one ship but your captain of a fleet... Uhm it had a lot of ship types and it was top down 2d combat

Also not released but in alpha/beta

I believe you're thinking of Starsector(previously Starfarer).

PS1 or maybe PS2 game that had a demo that came with a magazine (possibly this one).

Judging from the demo it had RPG bits on board the spacecraft and fighty bits where you were flying it.

Ok, this is reeeeally old one and it has been bugging me for years. I was born in 81 but my grandfather and uncle were really into computers and there was always one in the house. This was a dos game that I got at an Electronics Boutique or something similar when I was probably around 8 or 9 that came on a  5 1⁄4-in floppy and was basically a medieval fighting game for the 386 that was mostly weapons based. I remember you could be a sorta robin hood looking guy, a dude with a quarterstaff, a knight with a sword etc.. and you would just vs fight and I remember it being really fun. I can't remember the name and have never been able to find anything about it online. I would love to find a screencap or even a download for some good nostalgia. I've looked through abandonware sites with no luck.

I also remember these Spiderman games that were basically adventure games with basic cga/ega pics to go along with it. Never could find any info on those either...

EDIT: This thread is aweome. Got me to thinking about all these great old games I used to play. I just thought of this game called Overlord or Supremacy: Your Will Be Done that I used to love. And anyone remember an old adventure game called Loom??

Loom is an utter classic and available on steam (CD talkie version too).

The spiderman game is probably... Spider-Man.

The action game sounds possibly like Heroes of the lance?

[joey4track]

Barbarian?
Gladiator?
Swashbuckler?

Haha, none of those thanks! But they look really cool. This games graphics were probably most close to Barbarian in quality if not worse, it was a pretty early dos game.

Loom is an utter classic and available on steam (CD talkie version too).

The spiderman game is probably... Spider-Man.

Not Heroes of the Lance either, but I got excited because the name sounded familiar but that's definitely not the game. Man, I've been thinking about this game for years haha. I'm probably better off not finding it because it's probably not even as fun as I remember    But that spider man game is totally what I was thinking of!!

This gave me a major flashback:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

And that loom remake looks amazing!

Perhaps Windwalker or Moebius?

Does anybody know about a sort of browser wrestling game, where it's just these two blue guys trying to flip each other over?  You know, you have to jump and balance so that the other person falls on their head.

There is game I use to play when I was really young, I think it came out around the same time as the original starcraft. It was a medieval/fantasy type RTS I remember I loved it because there was a bunch of teired builders that could summon more and more powerful units and buildings. I think it was called kingdoms or somthing of that sort but I can never find it ):

Blood and magic ? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3vhnpi12z_0

I'm going to guess you are thinking about Defender of the Crown.

EDIT: Hmm... then again DotC had more than just vs fights.
