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

[Jacynta McKechnie]

Hi!
So, obviously, there's this game I remember but don't know the name of. I don't remember much of it, so the description is gonna be a little bit vague, and possible mildly incorrect:

-Pixel game
-2D
-Might have been a side scroller, but I'm thinking it was more of a you-walk-to-the-right-side-of-the-screen-and-it-takes-you-to-the-next-area type thing
-Male protagonist, seemingly shipwrecked or something
-I *think* you start on a beach
-For some reason, when I think of it, the words "Lost in Paradise" come to mind
-I played it when I was young, so it was probably from the 90's to early 2000's

Sorry I don't have anymore info than that, but hopefully some one can work it out

You didn't mention the platform, but that sounds a lot like Three Weeks in Paradise. It's even older though (late 80s), so maybe not.

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?

Shove it!

...I mean, that's the name of the game.

OMG! You're a hero! I've been looking for it for so long! :O Thank you sooooooo much! XD :-*

Here's one I don't remember too well. It's a combat flying game, probably from the late 90s, sort of like Star Fox in perspective (3rd person camera following the vehicle), where you fly a futuristic looking fighter. In the first level you are flying around a desert. There is a boss monster that looks like a humongous robotic king Cobra in a big basket (the basket snake charmers use). I never beat the boss as a kid, so I have no idea what comes next.

Hello All!

I've been looking for a game I played on PC around early 2000s maybe late 90s. It was almost a kids educational game where you played as a kid and had to figure out different puzzles throughout the game. I remember parts like connecting rubber bands on gears to get a drilling mining car thing to work. Also mixing ingredients to put in the drilling machine to make it run. Also there was a panel of lights you had to figure out as well.

Update: I found it! Called Elroy Hits The Pavement

Any help at all is appreciated!

I am new here so dont know if this is the place to post.

I used to play a game online that i would call strategy/puzzle. It involved little ball type guys sort of like emoticons of different colours that all had their own jobs for example yellow ones did not do anything but other colours let you alter gravity, weight, magnetism etc and you had to get a certain amount to the exit before you could move onto the next level. I hope someone can help me out its driving me nuts not knowing the name

Maybe someone can help, in the late 90's early 2000's I had this awesome PC game that had a black back ground with geometric shapes, each shape a different color usually either blue, green, red, or purple and it had many different levels and was like a strategy/puzzle game. If you got 3 more together they would disappear or explode at the same time this very high tech like techno music would play and you would sometimes get a shape that was a gold bomb and you can blow a few away the shapes look 3d but it was not a 3d game the object of the game to clear each level. If someone could help me with the name I would be grateful.

 

[Zaltys]

It was an RPG, one of the first games for the PS2. I don't remember much of it, except that you used a number of rings--

Eternal Ring?

You might have played either "Bejeweled" or "Bejeweled 2".

I've been looking for this game for ages! If I remember correctly, platform was either Windows 95/98, the game was basically robot versus monsters where you go to a site where said monster have been spotted. Each stage contain different monster but I only remember the 1st stage. All I can remember is that the 1st stage was at Mojave Desert(day), the monster that you have to exterminate looks a lot like a scorpion. You have to defeat the child(small) first and then the mother(medium) will come and lastly the father(large). The game is 3rd person, 3d polygon kind of game. If someone have a hint of what game was this, it'll mean a lot since it was like the first game I've ever played on a PC. Thanks!

Hey Guys. Ive been looking for the names of these 2 old arcade games for half of my life, really hope yall can help.

First one.... Late 80s or early 90s, I think if I remember correctly the game is by TAITO Co. Its about this short Monk that goes around shooting enemies with ball-like things, the more power he gets, the bigger the balls he shoots get. There is a level where there is like fire in the background and he walks on skulls or something like that. (I think the first level is a some graveyard)

Second game...Also early 90. Two fighter airplanes, 1 red and 1 blue, during their missions they collect coin-like powers with different colors that attach to the back on their planes (With many coins collected it looks like the planes have coin tails) One player can take one's "tail of power coins" by flying behind him. You get these coins from an enemy clown with wings, when you kill it you get the coins. There is one level where you have walls on both side on the screen and ice or snow blocking your path, you have to shot thru to pass. (One of the coins is red and produces Fire when used, purple was a 3 way shot when used)

Thanks guys

I finally found it, we can die happy now: Fury 3

I'm looking for this really old game, and it's been bugging me for a while now. It's a game from the 90's or even older and I used to play it on a floppy disk, it was a booter game if I remember correctly. I think the game was about a dude with sunglasses on a beach or something, and you had to catch all kind's of fruits, but you had to avoid running into coconuts. I really can't remember the name but I really would like to play it for old time's sake

 

[TheNostalgicGamer]

Was it maybe Adventure of Monkey God or Temple of the Monkey God?

 

[Zaltys]

No, sorry that's not the one. I remember that, but this was a 3rd person RPG with that hybridized battle system I was talking about.

Okay, sorry. Odd though. I played all English PS2 RPGs as a project a few years back, and don't remember there being any other games that had a ring-based equipment system.

I remember playing what I think was a text based pc game online in the late 90s early 00s.

It has races of like Elves, Orcs, Mages, humans, etc. Had to create an army and build a village. Used to have to go attack other Villages and could cast spells for both protection and to attack. Could also pillage and burn down towers and such.

You could send aid and help others during war. Growing food was as also a large part of it. You also needed to vote on almost like a leader and could have people under that leader.

There's been a lot of games like that, so many that they've kind of blended together in my memories.
But I'm assuming that it was a browser game, and didn't have a downloadable frontend? And if it was late 90s then it was likely Archmage. Which has been offline for several years.

You might want to take a look at the spiritual successors, such as The Reincarnation: http://www.the-reincarnation.com/

Hello, I couldn't remember name of the game I played in childhood (It was around 2005). It was RTS game. In game your units and building were painted blue and enemies were green. The building were already placed on map (only main building can be destroyed) and you could capture them with flying saucer or by attacking them with tanks. The buildings produced different things like many different tanks, robots who looked like dogs, special thing like Airstrikes and many more. Main goal was to destroy enemy main building.

Thanks in advance
