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

[Mizzy]

So,I'm remembering this game: It was in the 80s. You played a female warrior and I'm sure your weapon was a throwing arrow or spear. It was a screen by screen, side action adventure game and it competed with the likes as Barbarian III and other such games. Enemies varied with bats and such.

Vinyl Goddess from Mars?

Or
Jill of the Jungle?

Wow okay, hi. This is gonna be really tough may I warn you because I played this game when I was like 5 and I'm 16 now. Memory isn't my stronghold but anyway this has been bugging me for a while now. I remember this really quirky game (possibly on PS2 or PS1) where you played as a little red headed, funky girl I think. The strongest memory I have of this game is that whenever you died you would go to some underworld-type place and there you would see all of these other dead people walking around and you would have to collect like a certain amount of things like bones or something if you wanted to regenerate back to your original place before you died. It was kinda like a kids game where it was slightly platformy and maybe slightly repetitive with the whole collecting a certain number of things and shizzle like that. I also remember a lot of colour and distincltly a witches house with ravens? I could have dreamed that bit maybe but this is all I can say about this game. It was just overall really quirky. PLEASE QUECH MY CURIOSITY!

Hi all, first of all, let me echo the sentiments expressed already about the awesomeness of this thread.

Now to my question:

I'm looking for this ms-dos adventure game that features a secret agent (police? FBI?) that must infiltrate the headquarters of a cult in order to apprehend its leader. Basically, the agent had to talk to people and interact with objects, which led to colored keys, which unlocked rooms/sectors, etc. If I remember correctly, the game was created by a private individual (not a major company) and was featured on his page along with another similar game. I think the last time I was able to locate it was 7-8 years ago. Any help with the name or any other info about the game would be greatly appreciated!!

perhaps

Cult (1998)

[Zen.Gamer]

So I have been looking for this game for years now. Which is starting to make me believe that this game never existed and that it was the result of a sugar induced fever dream. Here is what I remember.

I rented this game (in Australia) from a video store when I went over to a friends house. This was sometime between 1998-2002 as I would have been in high school when I visited him, though it may be slightly later than 2002. Whilst I can't be sure of anything, I believe it came in a cardboard box. I know it was a console game (Seeing as a PC game rental would be highly unlikely), however I have no idea which one. I thought it was on PS1, but I have had no luck finding it.

The game itself was either an RPG or an action adventure game with RPG elements. All I really remember is the character creation/ customisation and a small part of the beginning. The games customisation involved choosing from what I can only describe as tarot cards, then picking your characters main emotional trait. This would dictate what your character monologued when interacting with signs and NPC's (For example if you chose silent your monologue would most often be "..."). I don't remember there being any voice acting and most likely it was just writen dialogue on screen.

All I can remember about the gameplay is that the starting area was likely a forest, the camera was situated above the character (Kinda like Breath of Fire) and that the combat was not turn based or tactical (So no Ogre Battle unfortunately).

At this point it is merely the frustration of not figuring this out that has me continuing this search. I appreciate any help that you can give at this point.

Edit: Game was found by diablo rules

Blaze & Blade - Eternal Quest (2000)

[RedFox42]

Hey guys, I found this topic at Google, so I am kind of new here.
I am looking for a friend an old 2D good pixelated game of more than 10 years ago.
He told me the following details of the game thad he played 10 years ago:

- The main character was kind of a red weasel or fox like Sonic with a yellow belly.
- It was a 2D good pixelated! side scrolling PC cd game.
- It had a kind of blue sky background.
- There were colorful levels.
- There were kind of (exploding) barrels where you could jump in and at the right timing jumping out again or something.
- It was around the time of 2000.

He loved this game and would like to find it again. I hope there's someone that knows this game descriptions. Thank you in advance.

It's not a Crash Bandicoot game, is it? (Can't recall offhand if that franchise had any 2D games...)

No unfortunately not which came first in my mind. But he says it was not Crash Bandicoot.

He remembers now that the maincharacter was definitely a 'fox'.

And he's absolutely positive it wasn't anywhere in the Sonic franchise? Didn't Tails have his own game at some point? (I may be thinking of a fan game, or perhaps a Japan-only game.)

(Edit: Yep, here's Tails' game - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tails_Adventure That isn't it, is it? Still worth a look at though.)

(Edit 2: This is too early and not a fox, but the bright colors make me think of Skunny: Save Our Pizzas ( http://www.classicdosgames.com/game/Skunny:_Save_Our_Pizzas.html ). Alternatively, this one has much darker colors, but is from a bit later time period - Titus the Fox: To Marrakech and Back ( https://www.mobygames.com/game/titus-the-fox-to-marrakech-and-back ) Maybe one of those?)

He says it was definitely not from the Sonic franchise or Tails Adventure. I told him about the other games from your links, ,but neither of them was the game that he played. He says it was good designed/drawn, but still 2D and side scrolling. Is there any hope for him? I want to help him so much,

 

[OPTIKLOPS]

Hi guys. More than 7 years ago i played a game with robots which you choose your robot,the enemy robots and the ally robots,the map and you just fight(basically a skirmish). It had a lot of robots and a lot of maps. This robots had a lot of abilities,its robot different abilities and most robots had melee weapons.I remember some robots too! 1 robot was like a ninja with 1 or 2 katanas(it could teleport at a short distance i think),his main color was red and his secondary color white i think. Another 1 was purple,it had a rocket launcher and his ultimate ability was to use all his laser canons(4-8 laser canons)at once. Finally another 1 was grey and a little white. I am not sure but i think this robot was the biggest and it was overpowered. It had the weapon of death(sorry i dont remember the weapons name )and could spin. I hope i wasnt the only 1 playing this game xD. Also this is my first comment

Edit:It was 3D btw

 

[lemon659]

Sorry if this is in the thread already, but here's the one I'm looking for: Arcade game from late 80's, early 90's, isometric view, multi-player co-op (4 players, I think), I don't recall that there was any clear "goal" other than to hack/slash. There were what seemed like many "boards" that you got to by walking through portals; you could "pick up" different weapons or a weapon from a co-op player that dropped it if they died (I remember one was a whip, I think there was a gun, can't remember others). It's not Arcus Odyssey. Any ideas?

sounds like

Dark Adventure (aka Devil World) (1987)

That was it! Thank you so much! By the way, that's really impressive, you have a gift.

Hi!

When I was a kid I liked to play a racing game, but now I don't remember the title Can You help me?

1. It was released between 1993-1998
2. It was a street racing game (with traffic), there were no tracks
3. There was a cockpit view (80% sure)
4. Non-licensed cars (60% sure)

Ok, now you will say- it was Need for Speed / Test Drive, stupid!

No, it wasn't.

5. It looked like NFS 1-2 (pixelized like hell)
6. You needed to repair your car after the race, I remember that couple of times i didn't finish the race because I didn't change tires.
7. Many tracks was in USA (I remember florida or maybe california)


Can you help me find a title, please?

@edit:

It was a PC game!

Doesn't seem like it's it... Though i thank you for trying! But I have another request.

I remember there was an FPS MMO game on Steam. I think it was set in the tropics? You could customize your guns and I remember 1 person having a Golden Rifle of some sorts. One of the levels was like a film set, and another one was like on one of those beaches with those bridges and shacks on them, like Dead Island had, also I believe there was like a destroyed town, seemed like it was in africa or something similar? Also I remember it being like a "Game" as in, it was a Game inside a Game, or atleast it presented itself like that, or so I remember... I don't think it's on Steam anymore, because I can't find it in my game list or on the list of games I played on the Steam Calculator. Also it was a free game, obviously xD

I remember playing that game a year or 2 ago.

It doesn't completely match up, but the first thing that popped for me was Bloody Good Time.

OK so I've been searching for days and days about this old 90's PC game I used to play. I don't rememeber much of it but it's like a factory or a shop with machine for little monster or chickens not sure lol so people would come knocking on the door, sometimes it's a giant and sometimes it's something else and they'd be like "I would like red hair and orange shoes" something to that effect, anyway, they would ask for a a specific little monster/chicken and you would have to dress them up and make them. in the factory you had lots of options like hats with polka dots or stipes, shoes, I think there was scarves too.

I know my description is bad but that's all I can remmember to be honest.

that's the Fripple Shop episode from

Thinkin' Things Collection 1 (1993)

Wow okay, hi. This is gonna be really tough may I warn you because I played this game when I was like 5 and I'm 16 now. Memory isn't my stronghold but anyway this has been bugging me for a while now.

I also remember a lot of colour and distincltly a witches house with ravens? I could have dreamed that bit maybe but this is all I can say about this game. It was just overall really quirky. PLEASE QUECH MY CURIOSITY!

Sooo, it doesn't match everything you said, but your description of the main character reminds me of:

Malice (2004)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=33I4HEWKiB0

Cool thing about this game, No Doubt did voices for it, notably Gwen Stefani who voices this funky red-haired girl.

Hi all, first of all, let me echo the sentiments expressed already about the awesomeness of this thread.

Now to my question:

I'm looking for this ms-dos adventure game that features a secret agent (police? FBI?) that must infiltrate the headquarters of a cult in order to apprehend its leader. Basically, the agent had to talk to people and interact with objects, which led to colored keys, which unlocked rooms/sectors, etc. If I remember correctly, the game was created by a private individual (not a major company) and was featured on his page along with another similar game. I think the last time I was able to locate it was 7-8 years ago. Any help with the name or any other info about the game would be greatly appreciated!!

Fair warning, this is a long shot:
