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

[Cheezburgr]

Alright,I found this thread on Google and I have my hopes for this.

It was a space simulation game that had a 2D top-down interface ,it came with a weird type of trial that allowed you to open the game 7 times and play it.After which the play button was disabled.
The cover ,if my mind helps me ,had some kind of terminator on it ,with a red glowing eye I think. Also the starter name was something weird ,when it asked you what name you wanted the default was something quite... robotic ,if I may say so.
It didn't have any kind of revolutionary gameplay ,it did feature a notoriety system and a few kind of randomized missions ,such as saving systems from alien blobs that varied in size by difficulty ,attacking wanted pilots ,and delivering cargo.
It also had a map system ,so you could go around different star systems.
All in all it played kinda like Escape Velocity Nova ,except it wasn't.
Oh ,and if it helps ,I played this like 5 ,6 or 7 years ago.I'm not 100% sure because my mind tends to slip information I really care about...

Thanks in advance ,I really do hope I'll find it.

I have a game that I specifically created an account to ask about. The details are very, very vague, so I understand if you can't help. All I remember is there was this boss, and it was an octopus or some type of fish, and it would make this really weird sound like "orgleorgleogrle" really fast and you would fly around in a hot-air balloon trying to dodge it's attacks and shooting some ice-like substance at it. If you remember the name of this game, I will love you forever!

Hey I am also looking for a game I played in the 90s on PC. I remember nagging my teacher to let me play it during morning tea and lunch times in the classroom.

I remember a name along the lines of "The goobles (or goobies)"
it was a problem solving game where you had about 5-10 characters alive at one time and you would be given a problem to solve like fixing a bridge or a code to enter a tomb. If you got it wrong one of your characters died. if you got it right your characters would all walk off the screen as if heading to the next clue or problem.
you could create new characters through out the game and change their faces as well.
I have been trying to remember what this game is so that I could see what it was like but I need help.
Any Ideas????

That would probably be the Logical Adventure of the Zoombini's game. Just type in Zoombini's and I'm sure you'll get what you want. Boy that takes me back!

Does anybody know about a pc game from the late 90s, early 00s. Where you played as a human/humanoid with black hair and blue skin? I think at one point you could travel by riding a dragon, or in another level you could rid a mine cart. Anybody know what game I'm referring to? I think the main character had a girlfriend or sister too. It was NOT a FPS, I think the view of the game was like Baldurs Gate.

This could be Azurik: Rise of Perathia, but I don't know if that one was on the pc...

I need helping finding two games

1) The first one was for the Ps1 or Ps2. Its an RPG game you play as this little boy and you find this little pink baby dragon i think it is I do remember the first boss that you fight is in this cave when the pink dragon thing runs away from you, and you go in after it was this giant big monster thing

2) The second game was also for the ps1 or ps2 I dont think anyone will remember or even know the name of it All i remember was you play as these pill shaped people I guess. They didnt have any arms or legs just feet and hands. You would run around picking up these boxes and place them on this square then break them to make guns, bikes or even tanks.

First one sounds like one of the Lunar games. The second one I have no idea.

First one sounds a lot like Guardian's Crusade. Second one doesn't ring a bell at all for the minute.

In that case, maybe Beyond the Beyond? It doesn't start with a C, but the developer was Camelot, and they had a big logo at the start of the game. It also involves a pink baby dragon.

Alright, this is for a game that was on the PS2 or XBOX original, though I'm leaning towards the PS2. It was a First Person Shooter, you were some sort of agent and the game started with your guy waking up in a lab of some kind. I remember that the game was really revolutionary at the time because you could see your legs and when you picked up sodas or candy bars for recovery, you had to physically eat or drink the item on screen instead of just a "*bing* health up" type thing. There may have been a fellow female agent with you as well. I'm sorry but this vague memory is all I have to go on.

And it's NOT Cold Winter.

After 2 years of searching (Not continuous of course), I decided to dedicate today to power Google this game I've played but never finished. Ran across this promising forum with great knowledge of old games in hopes of finally knowing the title. So here goes.

I played this back in '97 to '99 I think, not really sure. I played this on the Gameboy Light. All I can remember is being a spaceship of some sort, and the screen I will never forget is like a flowchart of planets and you guide a spaceship icon to one planet first, then it enters a vertical scrolling shooter style. When you shoot, the shot just looks like a long line. As you advance by defeating the bosses, you get to select the next planet. The 8-bit tune will forever be stuck in my head, I wish I could hum it here. That's all I can remember.

 

[WhatEverHappened]

Alright, I have recently been thinking of two games I used to play as a kid that I cannot remember the names of.

1. A game for a PC that might have actually come on a floppy disk... I have a very hazy memory of this, so all I can piece together is that you were in outer space and you were trying to get crystals or diamonds, something like that. They were white/clear hexagon shaped gems that you would get if you solved the puzzle correctly. However, I can't remember what the puzzles were like (sorry). I also remember having like a main headquarters that you would go back to and I THINK that if you collected enough crystals you would be transported to another part of space and another headquarters.

Was that a game for Windows 3.1, or DOS? Because if it is we're probably looking for the same game ... all I remember about it is that in my computer it was named "MINERO" (which is Spanish for miner), and the character was kind of similar to Mario. I vaguely remember some beeps and sounds about it... damn.

EDIT: I think I found the game I'm talking about! It's called Crystal Caves. Does the game you're talking about look like this? http://www.mobygames.com/game/dos/crystal-caves/screenshots/gameShotId,25395/

Thanks for trying, but unfortunately that's not the game I remember. Though my memory is spotty, I don't remember the game having pixels like that. I think it had more of like drawn backgrounds and clicking on things would launch into a separate puzzle for you to figure out.

 

[XxBioChillxX]

I really want to find this boss old game. I'll try to describ all i remember.

U play as one of four gods, water godess, wind/dark godess, fire god, and earth god. You choose a number of element based monsters and select a chess board style world to fight agaisnt CPU players. Sorta like a game of war :\

If your base is captured, it shoots out light and u lose. The girls were very revealing and there were like golemn and fiend like monsters.

It was in the early 2000s around 2002-2005 and for the Playstation 2.

PLEASE TELL ME SOMEONE KNOS THIS GAME!!!!!!! >v<

 

[MissMigol Sumner]

my husband is trying to find an old game from around the 90's where you have to mine for gems.

he said you start out up top in a hut and dig your way down through the mine before the other (comp controlled) team does. There are different races/people you can choose as your char, and you can purchase items such as elevators to assist you.

any ideas on what this might be??

 

[nickbaker1392]

This sounds a lot like a game I am looking for. I believe it was made in the mid-to-late 90's, and you started off outside of some village. I believe magic was banned in the village or something, and you go down a well (I don't remember if you go down the well to escape someone or look for someone). But once you go down you are in a cave like zone and one of the first things you do is break a glass on one of those things that says break in case of fire to get an axe. you go on collecting items and using them in different rooms to solve puzzles I believe. Also I think you learn to use magic inside these tunnels. Someone help me find this game!!!

Sorry i'm new at this I forgot the quote.

 

[nickbaker1392]

theres a game i played around 2000, basically u were a wizard i think, and u went around picking up items to use elsewhere in order to progress through the game, the bloke that u were had orange hair and just wore a blue robe. It was a pc game, point and click and i think the point of it was to get something back for a king. It had alot of stupid stuff in it like cinemas and marlyn monroe even thought the time setting was supposed to be medieval. can anyone help

[puzzlefail]

I have another game too throw into the mix -

it was around 1995-1998, a medieval puzzle game were you are accompanied by a jester - you have the choice of different wooden doors that you have to go into and complete in order to progress.

You start the game outside the castle and you move in over the moat through a large wooden door and i think the doors had numbers on them - the graphics where terrible if i remember right.... it was in schools and was possibly on the same disc / time as the game "hover".

So yeah not alot too go on :S

any ideas ?

It could be Diggers or Diggers 2: Extractors (also known as Extractors: The Hanging Worlds of Zang).
