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

[Zaltys]

Okay. This is going to be a tough one.
This is a gameboy game, and I'm convinced that it's pre-game boy advance. I don't remember a ton from the game which is why it's such a shot in the dark.
It's a turn based rpg, I remember at the beginning of the game, you start out with your village under an attack of some sort, it's raining really hard, and eventually you have to head north in your village to fight a bad guy that is well beyond your skill, I believe you have help. I do remember that this takes place on, or around a bridge.

I know you said that it isn't a GBA game, but that does sound similar to the opening of Golden Sun. Being able to use magic early on also matches, as does the number of characters. And it was released around 15 years ago.

Hello guys!
I am going out of my mind to find out the name of a certain 1990s game I used to play. I have found this forum in desperate search for it. I remember that the player jumps off of a chopper on a boat & the whole adventure happens on that ship where you try to defeat some monsters such as an Indian & a pharaoh who can throw laser as special power from his snake on his egyptian helmet hhhh then you can switch to those monsters in order to defeat others, I dunno how many stages there are but then you fight a lady weariing a black leather on the top of the boat & manay things.... Please could you help me out?

Hey guys. My best friend and I have been trying to find a game we used to play together way back in the day. It was one of the nostalgia moments where we went to the movie/video game rental store together, and tried to find the best game for 2 players.

Countless hours of searching and THINKING, "That's the game!" when doing searches, we still have no idea what the name is. Here is the description.

It was a Super Nintendo game. You flew an airplane or a helicopter, still not 100% sure on this, but believe it was a plane. You were in a cockpit interface. I believe you could select what to do, but Player 1 would pilot the aircraft, and Player 2 would fire the weapons. It wasn't a side scroll shooting game, and it seemed like an open world, but that may have been too sophisticated at the time. Either way, it was pretty much like a dog fighting/shooting stuff on the ground game. Problem is, I don't believe either of us ever played a single player, so we have no idea if the game was any different. I know it sounds pretty vague, but I don't recall throughout my life many games that let you operate in this fashion. You usually controlled and fired your own vehicle/aircraft, with a few buttons to fire and use your special. But this game utilized the different buttons on your controller for various weapons and the pilot would use different maneuvers to avoid enemies.

Any and ALL help would be greatly appreciated. Even if you have an idea that this MAY have been a Playstation One game, that's fine too. We are both totally convinced that it was Super Nintendo, but there is room for error. I don't think you guys realize how many times we've had drinks together and reminisce on the game, and then continue to have more and Google search with more luck. Maybe we should try it sober for once, but that takes the fun out of it.

Thanks everyone. I hope someone can help solve this long mystery!

I believe i played this Pc game Rts around 2004-2006,it is similar to starcraft.
It had 2 or 3 races if i'm right,one was some humanoid-aliens,other was some robots.
I remember that the robots had a special ability of their resource colectors that they wouldn't have to go back to town center to return the resources,they were using their hands as pipes to go underground and come to surface near town center to transfer the resources.
I think minerals was the main resources.
I even have a pic i took with my cellphone at that time - the main menu of the game,similar to starcraft main menu.

I remember it was the demo version that i played.

I spent a long time without luck searching in RTSC Rts Game List and IGN Games List
I will search in other Directories too,i won't give up.

4 years later still searching for it.
Had another flashback of another potential resource being lumber.
I looked entry by entry with no luck on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronology_of_real-time_strategy_video_games (even looking on older games since i don't know the game release time, only the time period i played it)
What i suspect is the game might have been cancelled after release. The version i played was definitely a demo version since i remember only 1 map or skirmish mission was available or something like that.
And the pic above might not be exactly the main menu, maybe it was the pause menu when you press Escape.

Hi! I want to find an old game, from 1990s or early 2000s. It is a 2D game. You would have to kill some animals (cats, dogs, bats, rats..) by jumping on them. The animals were coming from the roof. Also, it was different scenes like winter, where the main character would slip on the floor.

It was a multiplayer game, too.

I hope someone could help me find this game.
Thank you!

This game always stays on my mind for a while every time I remember it. It's so hard to describe because I can't remember a lot. It was a ps2/ps1 game can't remember which system, but I know it was like a puzzle game where you were in a room I believe and you had to complete the task given in order to go to the next room or stage or whatever it was. It was a plain white room with whatever you had to complete inside the room I think. It was a very hard game but it was so fun and I really want to remember it again but I really can't, thats just about it. When I think about it now it kinda reminds me of the concept of portal had but I think it was older than portal.

Hey, im looking for an old flash game on the PC, played about 2007/2008. you would pick a civilization and start in their city, each one had a unique weapon type, you could buy soldiers or a horse or a ship. it was very much like early final fantasy games. you could explore other city's/civilization and conquer them. might be an armor games game, but not sure i haven't been able to find it anywhere. thank you.

Hello Everyone!

Can you help me find a game? I saw it in arcade machines. Basically run and gun style, like Contra. You could swap weapons between levels, the weapons were on a display on the wall ( 3 og them I think ). The main bosses were big, I mean screen big. The game took place mainly in jungle, forests etc.

I know its not much, but I relly appreciate any help. Thanks

Hey everyone. Was wondering if anyone can help me find a game. Does anyone else remember that game from years ago (2000's ish? Maybe 2011 I think was the last time I played it) where you had to like escape from a jungle or something and there was a helicopter and this building with these rooms or something and in one of them was this vending machine and you had to connect the wires to make the drink and there was also like this robot or something. I think it was a 1st person point and click kind of thing. It's so hard to explain. I wouldn't be surprised if no ones ever heard of it to be honest. It was probably just a thing with our primary school but eh. Just throwing it out there in case. It'd just be funny to know lmao. I don't really know anything else about it. I'm not sure if any of that helps but I appreciate any help!

There's this game I used to play when I was little. It's a 3D game that I played on the pc(but it could also be on other platforms). Basically in this game you start as a samurai/warrior and a princess is stolen by some monsters and you have to go around looking for her by killing monsters, looking for loot to upgrade your sword so you can break some locks[The locks were like dark slimy creatures that covered the entire wall(could've also searched for keys)]. There's alot of elements in this game, but I also remember that it's part of series and the ones I played had different stories[Could've also been the same, I was little]. The look of the game was pretty decent, like it came out around 2006-2009[again I'm not sure of the years too], it had semi-realistic anime style and it was pretty heave on story. It's a dark game overall and I loved playing it as little, that's why it'll be amazing if someone can point me to it!

Thanks in advance!


Random moments I can remember:
There was this oger creature/boss that I had to fight in a closed cave, after defeat it broke the stone and opened a path.
There were a lot of annoying flying creatures[Might be a mix-up from another game]
There are all kinds of different creatures to kill, and the overall look/combat reminds me most of dark souls when I remember[Again, I remember little, so I could be filling the small details with recent games]

Hello, I couldn't remember name of the game I played in childhood (It was around 2004-05). It was strategy game. In game your units and building were painted blue and enemies were green.
The buildings were already placed on map (Main building that looked like tower, and factories that produced units like different kinds of tanks and robots with 2 legs which were stronger and special things like Airstrikes) and buildings that you could build like turrets for defense. Buildings like factories could be captured flying saucer or by attacking them with tanks and when you capture them (with lowering their hp the screen would shake and it will become captured).
Main goal was to destroy enemy main building.

http://prntscr.com/audec9 - here is the picture that I painted. It represents a 2 legs robot and a fly saucer

Thanks in advance

Bit of a guess, but choosing weapons between stages reminds me of Midnight Resistance [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2o3MzMAsBY].

Hey guys, I've been racking my brain to find out what game i was playing as a kid around 7 or so years ago on the ps2. It was a guerrilla warfare style shooter where you could change between multiple units at different places on the map that each had their own specific class attributes, there were basic ragdoll physics and it was set in cold country for the first few levels of the campaign, with nato being often mentioned throughout the campaign. There were objectives ranging from taking a factory complex to infiltrating a ship, as well as clearing out an oil rig. The closest thing i could compare it to is that the game felt sort of battlefieldy but no level destruction.
Any help is appreciated.

 

[Ratix127]

Dang, I have one. I can't for the life of me remember what console it was on, either, I think either PS1 or N64, maybe even earlier, though I doubt it. You controlled a girl (I think wearing green? With brown hair?), and the only part I can remember is running through a dark series of caves, and to recover health you had to eat stuff that looked like chicken wings, which were visible on the floor to pick up (I'm pretty sure there was a sound effect of her wolfing the chicken wings down). There was a ridiculous boss somewhere in the caves, too, and he was pretty tough, but other than that...

Nothing. Dammit. I played it very briefly at a friend's when I was six or seven, and have never seen it since.

Literally sounds like the first or second Tomb Raider those were on the PS1

 

[Ratix127]

For the Megadrive (genesis). It was basically Contra but you played as 1 of 4 Robots.

Im assuming your talking about Probotector which was literally just a re-skinned version of Contra: Hard Corps its a legitimate game but the European version got re-skinned due to it maybe being to violent

 

[Ratix127]

2 games
1 is an old rts with different races that was cool (sorry can't really elaborate on it more)
2 IS a battle driving game. Think Death race meets Wipeout and unreal tournament, winner gets out of death row. Lots of cool arena and weapons, no idea what happened to it though.

1.) Dune? They weren't different races though so maybe not.
2.) Twisted Metal? Twisted Metal:Black was the one with the get off death row storyline from what I recall, but the series has been around since the early PS1 era.

Sport game that came out on the Genesis and on the SNES. There were a bunch of different events like skateboarding, surfing, hacky sack, snowboarding, BMX, and so on. Such a fun game, me and my brother would always play each other in it.

Sounds like California Games For the NES thats the only old game i know of that had hacky sack

 

[Ratix127]

Back in the mid - late 90's when I was young I played a top down RPG on PC anyway you started outside a castle and then go into the castle. I don't remeber if I couldn't get out of the castle or if it was just a demo limited to the castle.

Was it Tower of the Sorcerer if it is thats an awesome game lol

 

[Ratix127]

there was a crazy ass racing game i used to play on a pc (but it may have been an emulator) i remember the graphics were roughly playstation caliber and there were warps and you raced through underwater tunnels and man, it was awesome. anyone have a clue?

Maybe it was a game called MegaRace its was a cool looking futuristic 3d like F-Zero like game i remember playing it back in the late 90's on pc its the only thing i can think of

 

[Ratix127]

As for my game, You were a police officer that drives a car for a good part of the game, then your cop car becomes a motorcycle, and eventually a jet. The game had to my memory a mission based system, and I THINK a type of free roam (Don't quote me on that one) It was a Playstation 1 title I think... or a genesis title. It was NOT spychaser, it was like some dystopian future game. Uhhh.... I can't remember much else. Someone please... PLEASE help! It's been haunting me forever trying to figure this out.[/quote]

There was a game for PS1 called Future Cop: L.A.P.D kinda sounds like what your looking for i never got very far in the game but it was an awesome game

 

[Damian Stawarski]

Hi. A PC game bothers me greatly. It was a third person shooter from either late '90 or early '00 where you had a squad of, I think four, aliens. They had different core abilites like speed, strenght etc. They had simple colours as textures (red, green, etc. thou i think you could customize that). Main feature of that game was collecting DNA from killed enemies so you could upgrade your warriors. Game art style was quite similar to another game called Sacrifice. Can anyone lift that weight of my brain?

Don't worry! I've found it just few minutes after posting this! The game's title is EVOLVA.
