Old Games you remember playing but can't remember the name of.

Hi everyone!!

Looking for an arcade game I was playing around 12-15 years ago, probably 80's 90's game, it was a 2D action - beat 'em up game
(can't remember if it had 2.5D movement), no weapons or swords just punch and kick(if I remember correctly), male protagonist(likely blonde hair), can't remember about stages and enemies but I believe the final stage was a castle, the final boss was dressed in blue, had long brown/dark hair and beard and after you beat him he transforms into a dragon and the fight continues.

Heres the jist:

I remember playing this game on my father's friends computer. I --think-- it was emulated, but I am not sure. Anyways, it had a fantasy JRPG look to it, except that it was more of a sidescrolling beat 'em up RPG. You start the game with having the option to pick from 1 of 6 characters and play through that character's intro. Upon picking the first character, you get to pick 2 more characters from the 6 that will accompany you throughout the game. Once you beat the intro, you link up with said 2 other characters that you selected and begin the story that you would do even if you picked any other character and/or combination of characters. Each character has a different background, such as a rogue-like guy that lives in a desert but despite being a thief, hes a prince? Another is a female warrior that strongly reminds me of a Valkyrie as shes apart of a wing type temple that gets attacked. These memories are from 15 years ago, so I could be wrong (as to specifically the characters and their backgrounds). The fighting gameplay STRONGLY reminds me of Legend of Mana, as do the graphics. Its a fantasy swords n' magic type of genre, but you sidescroll (left to right, down to up, up to down, any direction really) and "beat 'em up" your way through dialogue and levels.

Anyone have ANY idea or any questions that I might be able to answer to help them figure it out?

EDIT: This game is what I think is considered 3D. Such as it has the camera and camera angle of Legend of Mana. Lets say, even though you are progressing from left to right, you can still move north and south on the screen. Such as some classic TMNT games, or even the Simpsons beat em up game, not like Mario Bros classic, etc. Hope this helps.

Seiken Densetsu 3. It's actually a free-roaming scroller instead of sidescroller, which may be why you didn't find it...

Hey Guys, Looking for an old game i used to play.

It was a MECH game, but NOT 3D. It was topdown view, sort of semi 3D.
I remember that the mech you played, could walk, but could also switch to floating by pressing a button.

That's all I remember.. Anyone?

That could be a lot. Maybe "Future Cop L.A.P.D."

Hi all!

I've been looking for this game for years. I used to play it about 20 years ago. It was a platform 2D MS-DOS game. You played as a guy who was in some kind of jungle and that had to set free an elephant at the end of each level.

During the level there were cannibals, snakes, bats and hunters who wanted to kill you. To kill them you could jump on them or throw them apples. Once they were killed, they dropped fruits that increased the time to finish the level if you collected them.

Finally, to get extra lives you had to complete the word "EXTRA", the letters were located in different parts of the levels.

I would really appreciate if somebody knows this game.

Regards!

Sounds quite like "Disney's Aladdin" except of the Elephants.

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 should mention, that the game I'm looking for is a 2D-Jump'N'Run. The other user was apparently looking for a shooter. :/

Hi.

Im searching a game so... let's begin.

I've played it around early 2000's 2001-2003? This game maybe came earlier out i guess.

Was an Adventure/Fantasy Game, with a Kid, that turned into a Demon sometimes.
The Game was played in a 'Fantasy' World with Bridges and Tree's, you know...this fantasy stuff.
Was a really nice Game searching it now !

That's it!!! My gosh, I thought I would never find it and nobody would knew it. Thank's a lot! =O

Hey all, I'm so happy to have found this forum because trying to remember this game for the past few years has driven me mad. I can't remember too much, but I loved it.

It's a game I used to play on a Windows computer mid-to-late 90's/early 2000's where there were two kids (I want to say Hispanic kids, but may be a false thought) in a rainforest and you could find literal, colored and patterned easter eggs hidden in bushes and behind plants and stuff. 2D. The music was latin-inspired flamenco-ish and I used to love it. I don't even remember what the point of the gameplay was, probably learning about the rainforest or saving animals or something. There MAY have been a frog involved with this game, but I may be confusing memories with Explorapedia.

Thanks for the help, this is probably the last videogame memory I have that I haven't been able to solve.

 

[zanderblazer]

I remember a game that I'd like to find again don't remember the console but I think it was playstation. It was a fighting game that had characters like a queen bee/wasp female a, robotic like cowboy with long arms and real short legs, a hockey player, and a fighter plane from world war 2. I remember some characters shot rockets and stuff and you could ricochet the rockets back and there were power ups like super moves I beleive and they could grow big like from Mario mushroom I would like help finding name for the game . Thanks

 

[Matthew Cliatt]

I remember a game with a black background and green foreground. You ran through a jungle type environment, with crocodiles and I remember vines and spikes.
Maybe you could play as a girl too, that seems like something I remember. Thanks.

Hey guys,

There was this game on the atari (dont remember which model) that had alien(s) coming down from the top to the bottom.

When i say aliens it was more like a pixel picture of aliens or so.

It was possible to play with two players and the only other thing i can remember is everytime you shot this big alien a part of it would disappear so it was possible to shoot right though the alien but the rest of the alien would keep moving down the screen etc.

appreciate any help i can get.

i remember you a person and not a ship shooting, it wasnt galaga or anything. any ideas?

 

[nalin9@1986]

[HUN73R_13]

Hey!
I'm looking for a game I played in the late 90s
2D game
you play as an "ogre like creature"
you need to jump and hit blocks "Super Mario style" to knock down the enemies walking on those blocks
it can be played by 2 players as "co op"
my memories of it are too vague.

It wasn't that high of a quality but I keep remembering it lately and I NEED to play it again

Please help

So, there is this game on the iPhone that I played about three years ago. You were a suicidal boy or girl, and you were falling to the bottom of the ocean, or sea, or whatever. You had to dodge obstacles, like jellyfish, and at one point, you start swimming up. I believe you start with something heavy around your neck, then it comes off, and you swim up. I have looked EVERYWHERE for this game, but can't find it to save my life. SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP!!

 

[katarinagreeves]

There was also a game for PlayStation 1, though I only played the demo from the PlayStation Underground demo disc. You were a little girl, and you ran around, looking for monsters to befriend. You sang to the monsters, and if they liked your singing, they followed you. That's about all I can remember, I was really young at the time. Any help would be great!!
