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

I'm looking for a Windows 95/98 era game - it was a 2D platformer, with a spike ball bouncing at a constant rate, and you would bounce the spike ball from platform to platform to crush enemies (men) and avoid traps. The only controls were left and right.

I believe each level was displayed on a single screen, and it was played windowed, not fullscreen.

I'm not 100% sure but I think the theme was medieval/Game of Thrones-ish times. It was a great game. I remember seeing it in one of the PC gaming magazines of the time which spoke very highly of it when there were lot's of more advanced 3D games out. It did not disappoint.

Alright guys, if this is posted somewhere and I missed it, I'm sorry, but there's 586 pages.
I'm looking for what I believe was a mid-90s PC adventure game. It may have been point and click. I remember wandering around a forest/jungle with stone buildings. I think there was some shape-shifting going on in the game, like being able to turn into an eagle, specifically. If anyone can help, I've been looking for a few months to no avail.

TerraTopia?

You sir, are a gentleman and a scholar. As soon as I saw the map with the labyrinth, I knew you were right.

Hi everybody,

I'm looking for a 'choose your own adventure' style game I played in the early 90s on a computer at my daycare. The whole game was mostly blue-looking but sometimes the screen was whiter. No other colors besides blue and black really. There may have been several story lines you could play, I don't remember, but I remember the one I always played was someone has stolen your dog, and you have to get him back. The 'bad guy' dressed in black and you followed him. Nothing really moved on the screens, I don't think, but you had to click which path you wanted to take, what door you wanted to go in, etc, and it told you the story at the bottom of the screen. I distinctly remember one choice was whether or not to take a scary dark tunnel or to take a lightened sidewalk instead. The game can't have been terribly difficult if they let us play it in daycare.

Any help is appreciated!

I'm been looking for this game for years.
In the game, you control something like a spaceship with a spider looking, the spaceship can land and walk. This game is about war between 2 sides, you are supposed to kill all the enemy's tanks, ships, spaceships, jets and soldiers(controling the spaceship), destroy their base and towers otherwise they will destroy you and you fail the mission. There are mother spaceships that you can land on to regenerate from the damage. I played this game on Windows XP, around 10 years ago, I didn't know English back then so basically can't remember any other details but the game play. The game was very good graphic back then but not popular in my country.

Maybe some of you can help.
I remember playing a game when I was young (most likely 1999-2005 as I am 17 now and was born in 1997). The game was on Microsoft Windows and it was a kind of world travelling/explorer type game. It was a CD-ROM game. You had to help a kid with a rucksack find his explorer dad who keeps leaving clues at iconic world locations e.g. The Leaning Tower of Pisa or The Sydney Opera House. It was kind of like a point and click game where you got a picture for example a picture of the ocean with boats and stuff. Lets say you click on the waves and suddenly a flying fish came out of the water (this was actually in the game) then the game would educate you on what a flying fish is etc. I almost think the kids name was Max but I wouldnt put money on it. ou then had to find the clue in the picture and it would lead you to another part of the world e.g The Sahara Desert and you had to use these clues to find the kids dad. Please help me find the name of this game!

Here is a challenge, and i dont expect any one to know the answer, but if you then Kudos!

I had a game on windows 95, it was a dungeon crawler like dungeon master, but with worse graphics.
Enemies included harpies and other things. You had various character levels and skills to assign. As you got stronger so did the enemies, and you would have to find a tavern\pub to sleep and levele up. you could also by weaopsn , but it was a text interface for the tavern taverns were the top level of the dungeon and had to be entered by ladder. It possible this game was sharewhare. For some reason i thought it was called mmorpg which i realise is stupid!. its not ulitma online or anyhting, no where near that advanced.
any help would be sweet

There are great chances that the game you're looking for is: Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord, you need to sleep in an tavern to level up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gsX6WRDKP7Y

Oh, that's probably some game from the Moraff's Dungeon series. Especially if you remember it being shareware.

This is driving me nuts. Game is from early 90s. It was a fantasy setting with swords and magic etc. The game had a map split into named territories which you could try and take over with armies, i think you could recruit new units for your own army somehow. The game also had a first person element to it as well in which you could send named heroes into enemy castles to fight and find treasure, new spells etc. This game may have been part of the MoM but if it is i cant find which one. Plz help hopefully someone remembers this game and i havent just dreamt it lol.

It sounds like defender of the crown!. I used to play this game on the atari ST

A game from gameboy i played it in late 90`s its probably older. I remember that gameboy screen had a choice of two colors blue and yellow and various shades in between. It was about a girl with a staff that would turn monsters in balls when she hits them with her staff and then pushed the balls that would slide and they would break when they reach the wall and leave a coin where the ball broke. If you pushed the ball over other monsters they would die and leave coins and if balls would hit certain kind of walls/terrains the wall/terrain would break and disappear and your path would be clear. On each level there are doors that are usually surrounded by destructible walls or monsters, you pass the level when you go through the doors. You also had a shop where you could spend coins on gambling on slot machine or buying gear like shoes for faster walking. I am almost certain that its japanese, the cartridge had three other games next to this one a space shooter, a car that would chase accros a puzzle board and another i cant remmeber. I am looking this game for a realy long time PLS HELP! ! !

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.
played it on my dad's old Pc with Windows XP.
Was an 3D 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!

 

[sebastien94]

Ok I remember playing this games like 10 years ago. I think was on win98.
It was a 2d game with a wizard with a blue cape that was walking from map to map, killing monsters.
He created a yellow(?) ball of energy as an attack and could throw it from any distances.
In the game there were so many differents ennemies and I don't quite remember what the point of the game was...
Sorry i cant elaborate more that's all i remember about it :/

Don't know if any of these things get answered any more, but this one has been boggling my mind for years.

It was this super trippy PC game. Somehow educational I believe. It couldn't have been too old. Basically it's a bunch of cute animals and various creatures on a farm and in other settings. I'm pretty sure this was part of a series. The thing that made it so memorably weird/horrifying is that there was a button you could press that would make some sort of villain character come out and distort everything. It was really weird and disorienting, but I can't go into too much more detail because my memory is so hazy.

I know that this sounds like something out of a shitty CreepyPasta and lacks a ton a of detail, but I swear to God I remember this to some capacity. If this sounds remotely familiar to anyone, please just validate me. Please.

Ok so when I searched google I came across someone asking about this game, but I couldn't find if anyone answered them.

The game I'm thinking of is an older game I played through DOS. You played as a kid who was transformed into 1 of 3 trolls (the difficulty setting) at a carnival. It was an adventure game so you had to puzzle your way through. The puzzles included things like a tire game or adding things to a bubbling thing of soup. The whole thing was being controlled by some wizard or something like that. We used the code "dark carnival" to launch the game and I never knew it as anything else, but that isn't the title. Anyone else remember?

There was another game I was trying to think of. It was a super basic looking game, but I don't remember if it was dos or windows I played it on. You were a spider(?) and you had to run around the screen and collect gems. It was really just pixels and basic colors for art style, and that's all I remember.

That sounds a lot like the Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego games, but you were looking for Carmen not a father, so possibly not it but using that as a "it's like this game" in the search might turn up some results.

This game has been impossible for me to find....

It's an old pc sailing game. The view was 2d and you started with a small ship sailing for some navy out of Europe. Over time you would unlock bigger ships with more crew and more guns. Mid way through the game you found all this gold and had the option to become a pirate where if you answered yes, you would get mutinied on and have to start over with a basic ship. some parts of the world you sailed to, natives would come out on little canoe boats and if they ran into your ship some of your men would die. You could fire different types of shot (disable sails, kill crew, or cause damage). They had some basic weather system when on your mini map you would be warned of "gale force wind" and such. The game is not sid meier's Pirates.

Please help me!!! This is driving me crazy that there is no info on this game... had it on pc in the early 2000's. Used to play it all the time. Thanks in advance for the help

Ghost1107: Could be Cutthroats - Terror on the High Seas?

NO, very close though. Thanks for looking. the cities looked 10 x worse is the game I'm thinking of!!

I know most of the games people look for on here do exist, but there's a chance that this might help someone. It's a list of lost or missing video games, maybe someone will find it useful. personally for me it's just cool to look through

Hm. What about Uncharted Waters? There's several games in the series, but they all look alike.

This has been killing me! There was a top-down puzzle game I used to play on Sega Genesis where there was a guy with, I think, blue overals and white shirt pushing wooden boxes around a maze and trying to cover all the white dots on the ground with the boxes. You couldn't pull the boxes, just push, so if you got a box stuck to a corner, you had to restart the level. I can't remember the name! Does anyone remember it?

Thanks! XD
