"Traffic Department 2192" (1994).

My, that was a nice little game. The developer has released it as freeware, so feel free to grab it here.

I am trying to find a computer game that I believe was on DOS from late 80s or early 90s. It was a platformer where you were a futuristic guy with a gun in a space kind of setting and the enemies were kind of like aliens. There were some green blob enemies and I remember a fuzzy looking guy hopping back and forth. There was one level where at the very beginning you jump down a very long ways and you could collect treats like ice cream and lollipops on the way down. Not sure if this will help but the graphics and gameplay seem similar to the original Duke nukem for DOS. I think you had to collect keys or something and find the gate to the next level.

Any help is appreciated.

I finally found it. The game is called Space Chase.

There is this game from around the turn of the century/millennium, though I am not too sure about the exact year. The main room has a staircase, with many other objects around, including a moose mount, a picture frame of a skeleton, a door under the stairs, and you can click on them for a short animation too. (the moose would sneeze if I remember correctly) You can also click somewhere to play other games, primarily navigating a maze in a fashion similar to the win98 screensaver, and there are gates to open, of which at least 1 involves solving some kind of jigsaw or tengram puzzle.

Did not get too far in the game as I was too young to understand what to do.

Hello, I'm searching for a game that I played around 2003 on PC, it was only a demo version since my dad didn't want to buy the game online for 10$. In the game you could play as a wizard with a wand. It was level based and in every level you would start on the very left side and had to get to the reight side in order to do that you had to jump platforms and defeat monsters. The perspective of the game was similar to mario but with more depth (meaning you could walk up and down instead of only left and right on a platform). It was played inside a castle (or something similar) and had a lot of red colour if i remember correctly. I remember playing this game because it had a coop mode in which 2 players could play on 1 keyboard. I hope this is enough information to find the game.
Thanks

I can't figure what this game isfor the life of me. The only thing that comes up when I search is Faxandu but I'm almost certain that's not it based on the look/feel. Dealing with an NES game that I probably played somewhere around 88-90. Believe it was an adventure/RPG, similar in style to Link to the Past. One of the things I remember vividly was that you had to find a set of winged boots and a harp. I also recall having to travel through a forest to obtain one/both of these items. Anyone have any ideas?

Hm... I don't really recall those items in any of them, but the first two games that come to my mind are Crystalis [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LF9HeIsELLs] and Willow [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qO1tJ_B9UUw].

Hi everyone. I have a problem, because i can't find few computer games from 90's or 80's (maybe the beginning of the 2000's). First riddle is a video game, when we start from square where inside stands truck. We can be guided straith (so upward). Next we can guided to the left or right and then we can see "anthill" aliens (if we enter the building). The prospect of a bird. I played in this computer game on PC platform. Sorry if my English language is understandable. Please, help me!

Okay so i've been looking for a game i played for some years ago.

It was on either gameboy color (or advance i dont remeber) or the ds (ds or 3ds)

It was realeased BEFORE 2011 (really helpfull right?)

If i rember correct, it was kinda like pokemon, you had monsters you fought with and (I think?) you could get new monsters. I think you started with a blue one?

I do remeber you saw it from third person perspective (again cant remeber)

I played as a male, so its either a male or both male and female characters.

I aslo remeber i was in some ruin of sorts, or an old temple.

Taking another crack at this.


It could also be a Spectrobes game; I can't believe I forgot about those, I love them!

Spectrobes! Thank you very much! I can't belive you found it, it didn't even seem a little like what i remebered. Thank you!

Hey guys. There was a game i was playing around 2005 in PS2. You were playing as a guy (in 3rd person) . The game starts and you are in a plane. The plane has some technical problems and you escape the last minute. You then wake up (i think near or even in the plane?) and you take control of your character. You are in the jungle alone. When you walk in the beginning there are huge holes in the ground like mouths that open and close all the time. When you pass them there are some monkeys that throw you coconuts so you have to evade them. I think that there is also a guy that when you go near him it gives you some little statues (?). You walk a bit more in the next area and there is some sort of a lake with crocodiles you can jump on.. Thats all i can remember.. It was 11 years ago.. I would be thankful if you could help me find it

Sadly no it had more of a linear map design (only from left to right without going up alot)

Looking for two actually, but the memory of both is really bland, so the details may not be 100% accurate.

First, is some sort of Arcanoid-like brick breaker game where you control a little line shaped board and bounce a ball off of it to hit and destroy tiles. The game i'm talking about had all sort of powerups like the ball getting bigger, allowing to hit more tiles at once, the ball getting smaller, shooting at tiles from your controled "board", having 3 balls at once allowing you to hit more tiles; it also had different tiles like tiles you'd have to hit twice, three times and etc. I also remember the main menu having a huge circle showcase or something of the powerups that are in the game.

Second, a game I can remember only barely, a 3D platformer where you controlled a ball (I think) and had to pass through levels and (maybe?) collect stuff (something like coins, but might not be it). I really can't remember anything besides that there was this one level where a giant spoon-shaped platform would lodge you into the distance, to the ending of the level. Oh, I also didn't have the full version so the game would pause after the throw in mid air and tell me to buy the full version. I would love to see the game today and refresh my memory of what it was.

Spectrobes! Thank you very much! I can't belive you found it, it didn't even seem a little like what i remebered. Thank you!

Hurrah! Glad I could help! Spectrobes is an awesome series, as well as a heavily underrated one.

Hi, there is two computer games whose names have eluded me for years and it has been driving me insane.

The first was about a little boy, who goes on vacation (beach, ship/boat, etc.) with his parents. In each location, you have to try and hide from your parents. I think the kid continuously walked around the area and you have to click on things to help you hide...

The second was kind of like an rpg. The main menu, I believe, had a crystal ball on it but I'm not sure. I do know that it had a mountainscape with a forest. The player had multiple characters to choose from. Humans, (male/female) skeletons with hoods, lizard men, and creatures that rode on toads. I believe that when you played as the creatures that rode on toads you started the game in a watery (swamp like) landscape. In the game, the player had to create a band of allies. One of said allies was a kind of seductress whose attack was a kind of spell, that when used on an enemy, would make them an ally. If the player approached an enemy it 'teleported' them to a sort of battle area, which was a rectangular/square piece of landscape surrounded by black, kind of like a fog of war. That's all I really remember.

These two games could, of course, have been created by my active imagination. I'm not sure... Oh and both of these games were probably made in the 1990's-early 2000's.

How old is this game? It sounds a lot like Marble Blast Gold or Marble Blast Ultra.

So - late at night, surfing the web, no idea where you're going - and you land on a site that talks about a bunch of old DOS games...

And there I am - reading through the list - and I see a series of "Cave Quest" type games - which brings back a memory.

So this was probably early to mid 80's. I was on the ship with my father (Navy). And he dropped me off in their computer room to play games.

Now this game - it was a "DOS" type game - it had text on the bottom (where you can select directions), and above it - it had VERY simple line graphics that represented a cave (or a maze? I think a cave).

And (I can't remember the exact point) - but there was (I believe) a Yeti in the cave. And you would have to avoid it.

Occasionally you would get hints like, "You hear growling to the east." (Or something...)

Anyone have a clue on this one?

I'm not sure, but it is pretty old. Pre-2007 for sure. It's not Marble Blast, but it seems similiar. I feel like I might be imagining things now, but I can see the platforms made out of squared textures in my memory flashback, kind of like black and white kitchen floor tiles, except maybe with more blueish instead of black.

Katamari Damacy came out in 2004?

Greets, I've had this game stuck in my head for years since I played it at a store demo as a kid ages ago. All I remember is that it was a multiplayer game for either for the Dreamcast, N64 or PS1 not sure which platform it was exactly, the goal was the fight the other players which could be your friends or AI and you were all in this giant room and at any moment a player can find a special pad on a wall that will flip the whole room as well as shift gravity around knocking the other players down but allowing you to step on the new "floor" which could give you an advantage.

I just bought a bunch of old consoles recently and have been searching furiously for this title, unfortunately it seems to be lost to google.

Hello again, I'm looking for the name of an nes rpg where you play as a wizard, I have not played this game in about 10 years so I might not give the best description. Anyway like I said you play as a wizard, (the point of view is birds eye) you are exploring a dungeon full of traps (in fact in the first room of the first level if you stand on one of the cracked floors for a few seconds, a plant monster will come out of cracked floor and eat you), orcs, and likely other things but if you haven't figured it out yet I have never beaten the first level of this game as a kid. your character (when you press a button) can shoot a magical bolt out of his staff, but I'm presuming if is for solving puzzles because from what I remember if you try shooting orcs with it, the bolts don't seem to do nothing, which brings us to combat, the way it works from what I recall is that you have to walk into an enemy in order to start a battle. once this happens you and the enemy are brought to the battle screen, how to fight the enemy I'm not to sure to be honest but I'm presuming you have to press buttons in a certain order or with good timing. if anyone can tell me the name of this game, or post pictures/videos of it I would be grateful.
