i have a job interview for a game related job. but i have a questionaire that i need to fill out. i have 7 days until i turn it in. this question basically asks to name as many games as you can that have playable non-human characters in their "natural forms" i'm assuming natural means no or very little clothes. it wants me to list the game and system/s it's for. it also says i can contact anyone i want to help em answer any of the questions, and this is the only one i truely need help with. i can only think of 5 series:

Spyro games
Sonic games
Donkey Kong games
Mario series - Yoshi and koopa are playable in a few games
Star Fox games - probly can't use, cause they aren't in their "natural forms"

any help?

Black & White series
Kirby is non-human and playable


One thing I got to ask is, Are you sure by "natural" they mean naked?

i would mean a animal that does what it really does, i.e. Hedgehog do not run fast..

one game that comes to mind is that dog game for the ps2 with the smell-o-vision, can't remeber the name of it

Dog's Life (http://www.gamespot.com/ps2/adventure/dogslife/)

I guess this would be a prime example of a "natural" game.

You could phone the company and ask wtf it means.

parapa the rapper
james pond
animaniacs
crash bandicoot
alien hominid
baldur's gate (depending on your race selection at the start)
Guilty gear series(many of the characters are gears)
Red Earth series
Vampire savior series
ecco the dolphin series

Ok, more obscure time!
Savage pond on the Atari 8-bit
Potty Pidgeon on the Speccy
ECO on the Amiga, although the beings were random!
Silly Putty on the Amiga? if you were sentient silly putty it would be natural!
Thanatos on the Speccy, the Dragon was cool!

More obscurities......
Gryphon on the C64
Snake (!)
Captain Blood (that hand definitely wasn't human!)
foxx fights back SPECCY (although he was armed, when running looked like a fox!)
Marble Madness (it rolled down slopes, that's pretty natural for a marble!)
Mermaid Madness - Speccy (she was only part-human)
Worms (they were armed too, but weren't wearing much I think!)
Quik the Thunder Rabbit AMIGA

both ecco the dolphin for the mega drive and dreamcast are very good games, you should try them out.

errrr, how?
both those system's games aren't sold anywhere anymore, and my parents don't allow me to use credit card on internet. unless your refering to isos. if so, bad admin! :p

but anyway, is there a way i can get since isos aren't discusses here? ( i know about isos anyway, and ecco doesn't work, let's say)

Since when did Mega Drive use ISO's?

Just find the rom. That shouldn't be to hard. The only difference between a MegaCD/SegaCD game and a Genesis/MegaDrive is the better soundtrack due to the game being on a CD. So the game is pretty much the same in rom form and not to mention easier to find.

As for the dreamcast game, ebay is the place to go. If you can't use a credit/debit card, there are plenty of sellers who will let you mail them a money order (available at your friendly neighborhood post office).
Also, the dreamcast game was ported to the ps2. If you check any used game store, such as EB, you will likely find a copy.

The megadrive version was side on 2d although I seem to recall the odd into the screen 3D segments in it.

I still play the Game Gear version now, great game it is!
