hi, I'm looking for an older PC online murder/mystery game that I played in middle school. It was broken up into different episodes and it was a bit of a cartoon/comic style. I remember bits of it but the start of the first episode of the game is (I think because I believe it was first person POV and such) that you're sitting in your office at work and a man bursts into the room with a bomb strapped to his chest threatening to blow up himself and the building. So throughout the time he's in there you have to coax him out of killing himself (I believe one of the reasons used for him not to do it was because he has a son or daughter)and he keeps going on and on about how he killed someone and it wasn't his fault. Then towards the end of the first episode for the game he jumps out the window of the building, but the camera is on him the whole time he says something about the murder and saying something along the lines of "Can you find out who did it?" Idk if that's a good description but it's either in the second episode or the end of the first ( who the person the man spoke about he killed) a woman is murdered and once it moves to the court case, the woman who was killed, just like the man jumping from the window, is speaking to you but she's a ghost? She's guiding you through the trial as you try to find out the true facts and catch the killer.
Probably a bad explanation but I can't remember the name of it at all. Would be so helpful if anyone knew!!!

This is random but I'm looking for a game.

Old PC game. Probably from the 90's.
All I really remember is that it was an educational spelling game. There were a few modes but the one I remember the most is that it was set in first person perspective. You were a taxi driver and you had to either successfully unscramble the word or type it out within a certain length of time. The unique part that I remember is that the passengers were all like lizard men or dinosaurs. You could see their eyes reflected in your mirror and if you got the word wrong they would get a progressively angry glare.

Hope that helps

Reading through this thread gave me hope, so I made an account just to see if I get lucky in here...

The game I'm looking for is from my primary school days. I'll rattle off what I can remember...

- The game would've come out in 1998 or sooner (the other two big games in that school were Descent and Bloodwych, which have a pretty decent age gap between the two)
- Reasonably sure it was an installed game, don't think you needed a disc to play it but not sure. Fuzzy memory FTL.
- Top-down shooter, 2D, with a focus on exploration and key-gathering. I think the controls for your ship were of the rotation+acceleration variety. You could also hammer a key to go pew-pew and shoot bullets at stuff.
- Very futuristic and cyberpunk, with the first couple of stages (maybe the whole game, nobody ever got further) taking place inside cyberspace, you were zooming around inside computer chips or somesuch
- Story was something like: protagonist invented cyberspace and revolutionised the world, then someone assassinated him. Then for some reason he woke up inside the cyber world he'd created and is zooming around it in a tiny ship searching for answers. (Made no sense to 10-year old me either but was cool as)
- Game was really goddamned hard. The enemies were mostly other ships using the same mechanics as yours and would easily blow you up. The controls were a pain too as it was easy to gain too much speed, lose control and end up pinballing off all of the walls)
- If you got blown up there was a deep man's scream, similar to a certain public domain sound effect that still shows up in Nutri Grain ads)
- The name of it has some kind of connection to the word "shadow", because coming across Shadow Man in an online catalogue made me freak out thinking I'd found it (nope, although that was a good game in its own right)

I've been trawling Abandonia and HOTU for ages trying to find this sucker. If anybody could offer some insight on this game's title that would be super-duper.

Oh my god, it took two hours for this thread to solve a puzzle that's been bugging me for nearly two decades. Just checked the Wiki and instantly started recognising names. In hindsight I feel incredibly dumb for not being able to find it myself given all the info I had; but self-doubt will do that to you.

Many, many, *many* thanks to you GameOverMan. This game was what sparked a childhood fascination with robots into a lifelong obsession with everything cyberpunk; and now I can finally revisit it. Thank you!

This is a game where you are in a spacecraft, and you land on a hostile planet. To defend yourself, there is a conveyer belt of various types of cubes which you drop down. When a match of four cubes is made, each on on top of the other, the cubes become one cube of the next level.

Seeing that you guys seem to have magical powers, here's my mystery game:

I was a PC game, released before 2005, Puzzle-like. You have to grow a vine or branch like thing, that keeps going up. There is a "path" you're supposed to go, and you put pieces in it to grow it. the pieces were pipe-dream like: straight, curved...

the pieces came in a conveyor belt like system, on the side of the board.

Hope one of you can help me!

Im trying to remember 2 games i played at primary school in the 90s.

1 was an adventure like game where you had to dig for treasure on a sort of grid like thing? I remember finding things like old pot jugs and metal objects.

The second was a game where you had to use things like wires and switches and bombs (i think) to create a mechanism to acheive something? I have done alot of googling and found something called The incredible machine which seems similar but doesnt seem exactly like what i remember so i was wondering if there was something similar to this??

If i remember right, both games were played on Apple Macs if that helps.

Tia!

I CAN"T FIGURE THIS OUT... I played on an old iMac. It was years ago. There was a female protagonist in this game. It was a demo version where you had to complete the training and the demo ended before the actual adventure started. All I remember is you entered a room or building to practice with a weapon and there was a pregnant woman standing out by the ledge. Please help!

Trying forever to find a game I used to play on my old windows 98 (i think) computer at least 10 years ago. It was a haunted house/mansion shooting-type game. You walked through the mansion and shot Frankenstein, bats, witches and traveled outside into the garden labyrinth to shoot skeletons that shot back at you. Then you went into the stone court yard and shot at gargoyles. It had other levels where you shot at harder to kill witches. You collected healing potions. And you could change out your guns for a magic wand. I used to waste SOOO many hours on this game and I was thinking about it that other day and I can't remember what is was actually called. I think it might have come with my windows computer back in the day.

Does anyone remember this or know the name? I wonder if you can still play it anywhere?

Thanks!!
I know, it's been a while since that post (2013), but does anyone know this game?
I am looking for a game that sounds very similar since years, but there has never been a clue in the internet.

All I know is that it must be from the late 80s or rather early 90s on PC(?). At the beginning of this Jump'N'Run you start with a man walking into a house (you could also jump at the housefront up). In this big house have been witches and big spiders falling from the ceiling. and the first boss has been a giant Frankenstein (just walking left and right), that we shoot with a shootgun. It exploded into meat-pieces after defeat^^. That is all I know. Could it be the same game?
Maybe Resident Evil was later inspired by this game...

i've been trying to find this game i used to play with my brother some where between 12 to 14 years ago. it's a turn based rpg where you walk around in a cave and find an egg or a girl that gives you the egg and she runs away for whatever reason so now you have this egg that you don't know what's inside and decide to open it, out pops a little monster. you can name it feed it and it is what fights for you in battle. i promise i'm not talking about pokemon...i just want to find this game so i can prove i'm not crazy and maybe get the chance to play it again some day.

Hi! (sorry for my english)

This is a hard one:

- It's an board PC game and I remember playing it in the end of the 90s, but it might have been early 2000 or something.
- I played the demo version witch it was included in a pc magazine (PC Mania, Hot Shareware, CD Shareware, etc.)
- I played it in window mode, so the game runs in Windows 95/98.
- The game it's like a board game, you select a player (remember a player in a airplane) and (maybe) roll the dice and you walked X squares.
- I played it with my brother, so I think that we can select 2 players
- Good graphics (windows 95/98)
- Current/Present-day setting
- (unsure) Each player with a different conveyance (airplane, train, car, etc.)
- (unsure) Is not a pc version of an classic board game (monopoly, game of life, etc.)
- (unsure) Side/lateral perspective
- (unsure) the board was like world map (or similar), with the seas (I remember a lot of blue color, so I think it was the seas).

I've searched on google for a long time and... nothing.

Thanks!

Azure Dreams, perhaps?
