Ok I've been looking for this game on and off for about 10 years now. It's an old pc game. Set in space on a cruise liner that was adrift and out of contact. The game opens with a cutscene of your ship flying up to the cruise ship. You actually control 3 robotic drones from your ship and never actually enter the ship (to my knowledge (never finished it.)) Once on board you control the 3 drones in a puzzle ensued gameplay. Shortly come across some alien lifeforms that unless you get too close don't bother with you. I think the drones had some sort of cloaking/camouflage. Very early on you come across the ships galley (and to my knowledge the first encounter with and alien.) Once you get past him you transverse through some air ducts and come to the passenger quarters. More aliens and that's about all I can remember. You only had a total of 3 drones and once one was destroyed you would launch a new one from your ship. I think there was a short cutscene showing this. The gameplay felt a lot like games like Dark Fall which I got some years later and new. So I'm pretty sure this game was pre-2000.

Hi everyone,
I was looking for an old PC game. I give you all the details I can remember of it:
PC game, I run it on WIN95 or WIN98.
I used to play it 18 years ago more or less, so it should be from the '90.
The only available language was French.
The game starts with a knight on his horse reaching a village across a bridge; once he crossed it, the bridge falls in pieces and the knight is stuck in the village.
I can say the historical period it takes place is the Middle Ages, in fact I remember a wizard that turned you into a frog (or a mouse?) when you bothered him.
I know the description is quite foggy, but this is all I can remember.
Thanks :)

Hey Guys!
So I used to play a game on the ps2 where you were controlling a character (looked asian iirc) and had to play a set of levels with a third person and A-RPG Gameplay. There were also some huge fields of battle where you could fight dozens of ennemies. You could choose different characters that would change the story and there was a battle (in a city i think) where you had to defeat a giant pheonix of some sort.(you also had to fight it later on top of a giant volcano although i never defeated that one with any of the characters).
There also was a sort of "mission" or "cooperative" mode which i never played.
Hope you can help me on that one ;)

Hey guys, I've been looking through some of the comments, but couldn't find the game I'm looking for.

My friend and I are looking for a shooter we played maybe 10 years ago. All we remember is that it was some kind of concept game. It only had one level (as far as we know, we were bad gamers).

We remember this:
- Somewhere in Egypt. There was a massive pyramid you could go in. Outside was a Sphinx.
- First person 'shooter'. Not that much of a shooter, but there were guns.
- You were dropped by a helicopter.
- There were some enemies, but didn't do that much. You could shoot them.
- The pyramid had an entrance. I remember going in (not that far), but finding a way back was hard.
- The game (or single level) was on a CD with other games. That's what my friend says, but I'm not sure about it.

Another thing that come in my mind... The graphic was quite "poligonal", I mean, the characters were made of solids, i.e. a cylinder as torso, etc.

Hey everyone,
I was looking for an old PC game.

Details that I can remember:
I played the game befor something like lets say... about 6 years ago..
There were two series of this game and I played both of them... 2 games with the same principle...
I think that the animation of this game was plasticine.. Type of 2D and 3D together... If I remember correctly...
Was such a great guy, and clumsy, and you need to do all kinds of tricks to hurt him. And you should not let him catches you,
Or knowing you are there ...
And the main actor is thin...

I think the first game was the home of the big guy.and you are need to move between the rooms...
And the second was at the beach or on ship ...
The voices of the characters are playing it was kind of gurgling noises..

From the side... the game seemed like a comedy show...

I have one,
It's been bugging me for a long time.

From the 80s. Not sure if it was on Atari, or Coleco, or maybe personal computer. Anyways it had 1 or 2 players. You were knights of some sort. There was a dragon in the middle. You had to go around the screen and collect enough items to get a better sword to kill the dragon. There was a giant spider, and I think bats, ghosts, other assorted creatures that would try to stop you. The dragon always remained in the middle. The graphics were a solid color background with various shapes made from lines.

Does anyone have a clue as to what this game was called, and what system it was on?

Thank You!

That's the "Neighbours from Hell" (2004) series.

I used to have a cd-rom with a bunch of arcade games on it. one of the games involved a big grid. there were a bunch of red fighter jets that would be bad guys and you would be a grey fighter jet. the red jets would try to trap you on the grid, i can't remember if they could shoot you or not but you could shoot them. does anybody know which game this is?
I think we had that one some weeks ago. It's probably "Alien Force" (1990)

Hello everyone. I am looking for some PC games that I played in my childhood (1990's), but I do not find their names.

1 - It was in RPG style. You started the game on a village and control various types characters. We could build houses, protection to the village, etc... I remember if we put in a house, a man and a woman, they would have a child. I also remember there's a magician who could explore the terrain and find magical itens and runes (remember that the fireball was the first rune to pick up). Sometimes we gotta atacked. Pretty fun game. Looked like Age of Empires.

2 - Dungeon type game. I only remember to play with a dwarf, but there were others chars. The ultimate magic is cast with the backspace. Looked like Diablo 1 i think.

3 - Old shoot type game. Looked like Doom a lot. I remember that we could use a Freezing Gun and many others devasting weapons.

Thank you all!!!

Hi. I've been looking for a game i used to play while i was a kid about 10 years ago.

It was a puzzle game for PC and it had a Christmas theme and a burning candle as a timer.

The elements of the game were frozen candy canes and gift boxes and you had to put them in a row in order to break the ice.

I remember the Jingle Bells song playing and the most important thing that i remember is that the game had a GIFT with a ribbon on top as an icon.

I would be more than happy to play the game again!!
