Hey mudda people!, I need help remembering this game. I believe it was a playstation game in the early 2000's. The main character was a dark skinned color man, I believe he had short dreads and he was buff. He wore some type of bone mask as well as bone gauntlets that were used as a weapon similar to wolverines claws, he had bone boots as well. Note that he did not wear a full bone outfit, he was basically nude from everywhere else but had a redish brownish type of clothing that only covered from the waist to mid thigh. So he basically wore like a skirt and maybe a skirt/short. The game was gore, I remember killing monsters and the scenery of the game was gloomy and created suspense.

Any ideas of what the game is?. Please help and thank you.

Right ok.
This will be a long one but this has been haunting my mind for the past ten years and I have yet to find it.
I remember playing this in primary school, with the game looking like it was early 90's with pixel graphics.
I remember it being a puzzle game where you start off travelling to this island and meeting a doctor (no, it was not Dr. Brains island) where the first puzzle you get is to help him repair a soda/coffee machine, which you have to do by programming all the buttons to do the corresponding things until it works and you give the dude his nice beverage.
However, there is then a massive explosion and a brick falls on the dudes head. Poor guy. Turns out robots have attacked the island and you have to stop them and escape!

I don't remember any of the story from here on out til near the end, but I remember a lot of minigames and puzzles you had to beat.
The next one I remember was when you had to program a machine to drop slabs onto a bridge so that it was safe to cross. I also remember a point where you had to program this massive conveyor belt system to dump robots into acid and bring some barrels to safety.
There was also a point where you search for mines in a field using a robot top down, and one where you control a boat going down a river with the scientist and some others in it.

You crash into the coast of a jungle, and you use this radar scanning thing to search different co-ordinates in the jungle from above until you find a temple. The temple is this maze-like thing inside and you have to click in the direction you want to go in. Can't remember the end goal of this bit. The scanner also showed what wildlife was in the area so you had to find out where the temple was based on whether there were robots there or not (e.g. scanner shows 2 monkeys and a robot, next one to the left 3 monkeys, so its closer to the right)

You then find these three huts, where two have been booby trapped by dynamite and there is a random lady hiding in a crate in the third one, who pops out and helps you. She then makes you identify animals in a pitch black room using a torch. Dunno why.
Last minigame I remember comes at the very end, where everyone has been rescued and you are celebrating and ready to take off. THEN ROBOTS ATTACK AGAIN! SCARY!
They start lasering down the door, and you have to program this light the lady gave you to interfere with the signals the robots use, in order to stop them from getting in. Do this, and you win, and you get a cool splash screen with all the characters stood in a line together with it saying "CONGRATULATIONS!" above it.

Please, save me from this eternal hell of forgetting the name.

Hey all
I really wanna know the name of this old pc game I used to play 10-12 years ago but cannot remember now
- it was installed via a disk
- the game began with the main character and his wife/gf out on the streets while some kidnappers attempt to get his girl
- there is a white light and they all disappear
- the main character wakes up in a huge hole or pit with no clothes on
- in the bushes he finds a broken ladder and covers himself with the leaves
- he meets a sculptor in the hole too
- he then comes out of the hole and moves towards a hut in a forest
- the hut has evidence of his wife being there
- moves to a town .. The only places one can visit is a pub and a blacksmith
- gets a sword made from the blacksmith
- in order to leave the town he needs to join a sailors crew who are sitting on the first floor of the pub
- shows them his skills by cutting the candles on the table with his sword
- they disagree at first
I don't remember the rest and I seriously want to know the name of this game
Does anyone know?

Trying to remember the name of an old game I used to play on Windows 95. It was a business simulator game where you ran a company and produced your choice of either a cars/ planes or computers and as the years went on your R&D could develop new tech for your chosen industry and sell new upgrades and newer models.

Would love to play this game again.
Thanks for the Help!
Try those games:

I remember playing a game on the PC, I believe multiplayer, likely in the late 90s. I remember it was a shooter game where you would find different weapons. One was a guided missile that, when you shot it, you would change view to get the camera angle of the missile zooming around until it hit something. And I remember, at least on one level, it was in a house. You would be tiny and hide in the soap dish above the bathtub, or behind the toilet, and things like that. I've googled as much as I can, but I just can't find any reference to it. Thank you.

Hello guys !
I cannot find a game I used to play 15 years ago..
It was an fps in which one we had to fight kind of monster in a building which was a maze. I just remember one thing : some monsters were yellows and had a scary/strange laugh. The graphics were very similar to games like Doom or Wolfenstein 3D...
I know there is not a lot of information but I hope you could help me !
Hello Fings ^^

I'm pretty sure the game you seek is called: Bad Toys 3d, check that link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7j8ekKff2bw&t=0m10s

Need help...new poster here...been trying to find a game that I played as a kid in the 90s. I've been searching this for a few years now..one of my favorite educational style games as a kids and I'd love to see how it hold us today, but I can't find it in my old CDs (use to own it and would like to again).

I had windows 98 SE computer to play it on...I can't remember the name but here is what I remember about it:

- 2 Kids (a boy and girl) where in a relatives 2 stories mansion/house and where trying to fix dinner for the rest of their family by solving puzzle (educational style...math measurement, etc) through the house and back yard.

- In the kitchen you went to the fridge and clicked on a cow who brought up a game involving measurement and volumes to solve it and get milk for one of the recipes.

- Upstairs you have a room (I think first on right) where you talked to a relative that was on a Big TV screen and when you put on a helmet you were transported into a video game that involved math (I think the math game was pizza themed) and by winning that game you got a pizza.

- Upstairs, second room on right with a volcano lava room that you have to click and move either on lava rocks to adjust temperature for a microwave to warm up some food or you just used the microwave and tried not to get hit by the rocks.

- In the hallway upstairs there was a monkey that would scratch his head, hinge open the top half of his head and scratch his brain and throw out an item from him brain cavity area (usually a key) to help get into another room.

- I think there was a Yeti/abdominal snowman somewhere in the game with a puzzle you had to solve (not 100% sure of this part...but sure of all the rest).

- In the back room of the upstairs hallway there is a lounge where there is a Duck who acts like Elvis and sign duck parodies of famous songs. The game in this one was to create a playlist with the songs he was singing on that current set to match the total playlist time. When completed, you got access to the back stage of the lounge area which was the duck's dressing room where you found another item (usually a rose, if I remember correctly).

- I know there was 1 game you played in the back yard (I think it was the style of game where you have stones or tires in a certain order on the left and had 3 poles and have to move them with the rule of smaller can only go on bigger...not bigger on smaller and you had to move them from the left side to the right).

- After all room puzzles were done and it was time to serve dinner, you have to so a deductive reasoning puzzle where it gave clues to what items you found/made in the game went to each person and you had to figure who which item was for which dinner guest.

- After the dinning room part was done, the game was over and you could start again is you'd like.

- Also, If I remember correctly, it has cartoonish graphic somewhere between the mixed-up mother goose, freddy pharkas. Part of me wants to say Sierra or Luca Games may have made it, but I'm no where near 100% certain of an idea on what company made/published it

Thanks for all of your help with this.

Want to say THANKS and CONGRATS...My 4+ year quest of trying to solve this puzzle and figure out the name of this game HAS BEEN SOLVED....Forgot about McGraw Hill as a game publisher...no wonder I couldn't find it by looking into the 90s archive of Sierra or Lucas Games..lol.....Time to go try to download a copy of it and see if it still holds up like I
remember.

THANKS AGAIN!!!

OK so there's this game that I remember playing in the early 2000s. It was a 3d third person game, and the character (if I remember correctly) was some sort of green dinosaur or dragon.
There were different levels but I remember playing in a maze level. The point of the game was to collect coloured gems that would unlock coloured doors in the level. You had to get to the end of the level by unlocking all of the doors.

If anyone knows what this game was that would be great.
Probably, the first guesswould always be "Croc: Legend of the Gobbos" (1997)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQ5xtiisV-U
No, that's not it :/ if it helps I remember the maze being open on the top so you could jump and look over the walls. Croc doesn't have that gem thing, where (for example) you collect a purple gem and that opens all purple doors in the level.

hey there, y'all. in my childhood there was a game against nazis and in the first mission you would start from a barn, inside a castle-like perimeter. i also remember a 2nd or 3rd mission where you would start from a boat, waiting for a friend to signal you with a flashlight, then you would dive in and reach the docks and start the proper mission. i also remember something about blowing up a bridge in that mission or the next. any help would be much appreciated.

So I am looking for a game, no idea how old it is or what platform it came from. All I can remember is that there was an old woman in it with a big head and a flower on top. She looked sort of like this:

Ah, too bad. Apart from the usual suspects like Croc, Gex and Spyro there's no other reptilian protagonists that springs into my mind. :-D

Hey Everyone!
Okay so this one might be a tough one because i dont remember much about the game and also Nostalgia is cloudy my memory.:)....
So this Game was a FIGHTING/BEATEM UP SIDE SCROLLER,where the guy CONSTANTLY WALKED,the hero was fairly well defined and a MUSCULAR BUFF (with a tanned skin i think)...we had to time our punches and kicks to beat up the things that came in our way (snakes,bandits,eagles etc).....the hero was FAIRLY LARGE....and it wasnt your typical final fight or battle toads type beat em up game.I played it about 14 years ago....
thanks
