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

Here's a tough one, I've looked for a very long time but it may not exist anymore. It could only be played online but was not a multiplayer game to my memory. It was either a 50 or 100 level tower in which you goal was to get to the top. You could choose one of three characters - fighter, acrobat (I think), or one other. It had a 3D perspective with a creepy, harlequin feel. After so many levels, you could save your progress and I believe there was a market every 10 levels. Also, some levels were all about trying to solve a puzzle to move on. It was very difficult, especially the bosses, but very addictive. I remember it have a weird name but just can't remember it.

Had to create an account here and ask.. after reading about 300 pages of this thread:
I remember playing this game on PC around 2002~2005 maybe, it was an online hack and slash game, very colorful, anime type I guess, where you could choose between a swordsman (who seemed to be like the main character), a magician girl, a guy with an axe, and maybe more (can't remember). Then you would join a room where it could be any sort of game mode, like go on a dungeon (coop), or team battle, or free for all battle, or even soccer (you hit the ball with swords and magic, yes).
I also remember there was one game mode where you could just hang around, chat and chill, and wait for items to pop up (they would spawn in little bubbles), you hit them and got some cards to personalize your character or something like that.
After a few years without playing I went on a search only to find out the servers were shut down. And just like that I lost the game's name from my memories..

i remember one old game i was doing on a xp os it was an adventure like game, the protagonist if i remember well was a guy with black hairs, a t-shirt also black and dark grey jeans that had the ability to become a demon. This demon was white or greysh like and rly muscled, and at the end of the game or in a certain moment u had to fight the demon part of urself in a round arena if i remeber right.

Alright, so I have not played this game for ages and I really want to dig it back up, although I cannot find the box for it and can hardly remember anything about it.
The game was a arcade style racing game that I believe I played on either the PC or xbox. I cannot remember much apart from the fact that there MAY have been mario kart style pickups on the track? But there was DEFIANTLY destructible buildings, you could drive though the supports and they would fall down. The cars were also designed in a way so that if you flipped it upside down, it could still drive because the wheels extended above the car aswell.
Ill have a little more of a think about it and see if there is anything else I can remember.

The only racing game I remember where you could drive upside down, would be

"Rollcage" (1999), which came out on PC and PS1.

If you loved it, you might be happy there's a spiritual successor in the making and it's already early access.

Hi, quite a few years ago I played this RPG game on psx/ps2/psp (I don't really remember). The main character was a kid who had some kind of knife, and it would look like a red light sword when he used his "powers". I don't remember much, but I think it was a turn-based rpg in third-person.

Thanks!

First of all sorry for my bad english, I will try my best.

I'm searching for a game, maybe it's a bit older. I think it's a point and click adventure, but I'm not completely sure of that.

Things that I know about the game are the following:

at the end of the game you are in a underground bunker beneath a abandoned military base or a factory. There is a machine which is the core of the story. Your are catching your opponent in the game within the chamber of the machine.

After he is locked within the chamber you are activating the machine and your opponent will be killed or is disappearing I'm not sure. Some other guy is helping you in the bunker to accomplish that.

Before that there are 2 other bad boys which will be locked up in a room within the bunker.

Maybe there are also 1-2-3 fight scenes within the game.

It's definitly older than 3-4 years.


Edit: I hope I don't mix up different games, but I think also you need to rescue a person out of a club sometime in the game.

 

[Lamfhy]

Does anyone remember PC game, Adventure/Point and Click/Puzzle type.
I only recall some memories such as:

- Being tied up like Gulliver (somewhere at the beginning)
- A city carved in between 2 Cliffs with a bridge,
in one you meet a family watching TV (in my mind similar to Flinstones). TV was like main event there.
- Some puzzle with cyan crystals, that you had to arrange to get to some lift/elevator?
- Or it was some puzzle with little guys singing different notes, again for you to arrange. Maybe lift was after that.

I'm looking for an old 90s game, I think it was one of a couple hundred simple games on a disk. You flew around in a ship like the asteroids game and you tried to land on planets to take them over. When you took over a planet it got a turret on it to defend against the enemy who was doing the same thing. It was all basic geometric shapes and the colors determined who was who. I also remember that you had to be careful in landing, you had to slow down when you touched down so you didnt crash onto the planet. It got really fast paced and exciting.

 

[drkarcher888]

I remember an old pc game that had zombies and the zombies were green squares and the backdrop was black and there were power up things that would fall from the sky and you would try to survive for the longest time to get a good score and when the zombies would attack you it looked like they were humping you and your weapon was laying mines or something and the powerups would upgrade your mines to have either have the ability to place more mines or make the explosion bigger and have like fragmentation or something. The game might have started with the letter B.

Edit 1. I asked a friend and he said the game was Bombie Zombie

This makes me think of Mana Khemia 2 (though the male MC's sword was blue)...or perhaps an Atelier Iris game?

Hello , i remember play a game when i was a kid that i want to finish now , it was a sega genesis game , sidescrolling 2d , and i think it was with some sort of a ninja(not sure) and all i remember was that u can select through some skills , the first level (or one of the first) was into a jungle or a forest , and i remember that at some point there was a boss with wolfs and another level (on a ship) there as an octopus boss that was shooting some sort of circles.

My first guess would be the "Graviton" games, which came out in 1992/93.

If it's not, I'd start my search looking for games similar to "Lunar Lander" and the like.

OK so I remember this game (I think on the X-box) and it was fantastic. I think I played it in the 2000s, and it was a open world game where you had to save your girlfriend from a bunch of monsters (i.e. skeletons, ghouls, ghosts, banshees, etc.) and a haunted mansion. I'm remembering the title as Got by the Goonies but I don't think it's right because I can't find it by searching it. Every once in a while if you got scared you would have to press buttons in the right order quickly to stay alive. You received some weapons you used to help you defeat monsters, the most memorable for me are a fire extinguisher in the kitchen and a squirt gun outside. If you took too long, the grim reaper would come and get you and strum his scythe like a guitar and you would lose. Man it was a great game and I can't think of it. Thank you to anyone who tries to help!

You were close with the title, it?s Grabbed by the Ghoulies.

It's definitely that style, but the view is from space and the planets are circles. I remember playing against my dad when I was younger, so it must be multiplayer, though I dont remember if there was AI or if it was strictly played with friends. I want to say there were other ship types and I think there were suns that had an influence on gravity.

The first game that came to mind was lunar lander but I didn't remember that game name either haha, so maybe that will get me on the right track.

Spacewar kind of reminds me of it a bit but there was a strong emphasis on capturing planets.

Lets give this a go then, shall we? Ive been looking for a game. Ill try my best to describe everything I can recall from this game. I dont know that the game even still exists on the market, but here we go.

This game was a smartphone game. I played it on Android, but I believe it was also on iPhones. It was a game about some demon (kinda like the devil) basically kidnapped you and brought you to another dimension of some sort and you dont have any memory of how you got there. Youre a young male kid. Throughout the game you have flashbacks of regaining memories or something, remembering you at school with friends and such before being kidnapped. Theres also cutscenes where you like, basically grow angel wings in your shadow and such. The game has portals that you find in each, uhh, world or section? That lead to the next world / section or whatever after you kill a "boss" to unlock it. The only boss I remember fighting was this "earth bender" like guy, who would stomp and cause pillars to come up out of the ground after you, and he would jump and spin with his swords. You also fight the main demon and after you beat him he runs away (probably to fight later, I never finished the game) You could change the game settings to slow mo or speed things up, I remember this cause I had to go slow mo to beat that boss haha. There were also videos all over youtube for this game. You gained levels, and had an inventory where monsters you killed would drop things to pick up (walking over them picked them up automatically) There was a small group of others who join you but stay in a "base" like area, you could go to them to make potions or save progress or get your missions. There were flying dragons and jellies that you would encounter in random rooms - as the game was side scroller ish, when you approached the walls of a room it would scroll to another room. Monsters would regenerate after youve been 2 rooms away, which was how you would train to level up, keep running back and forth 2 rooms.

I think I remember the game having a japanese title with the english translation below it. I also think you got a gun in the game as one of your weapons, although not 100% sure on that one, but your sword was your main weapon.

Heres to hoping someone else has played this game. It was very long, and I never finished it, and it was beautiful. I would like to get it again. I have had 3 new phones since playing this and cant remember the name to reget it, or even youtube it to at least see how it ended. Thanks in advance

Okay folks, I have two I'd appreciate some help with! I'll give as much detail as I can.

1. NES game with two modes.
Mode 1: space shooter/sidescroller ala Tyrion, Gradius, etc.
Mode 2: spacesuit platformer with jetpack and gun (can't think of a similar game right now).
I remember the color scheme had a lot of blues and the space suit was orange (not sure about the ship).
I don't remember the story or objectives-- I think you would transition to the spacesuit mode periodically throughout the sidescrolling, then have to destroy something inside a room/building.

2. Fighting game on PC, probably played it in early to mid 2000's. I can't remember where I got it. All of the characters were small (kind of like what you'd see in a Final Fantasy game, maybe?). I think there were three attack types (light, heavy, special sort of thing).
I remember a werewolf/beast man type character, a character with a crossbow, a mage with a spellbook. The game might have been in Japanese. I remember a general impression of a green color scheme (to the menu, maybe).

Any help appreciated! I realize now how hard it is to describe a game you barely remember lol.

As far as the NES game goes... the first two that come to my mind that (kinda) fit that description are Xexyz [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-A9l8Qgj_SU&nohtml5=False] and Layla [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Erl4ygNN50I].



EDIT: Actually, it's probably Air Fortress [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TwL41Da9NMI&nohtml5=False] you're thinking of.

Yes!! Thank you so much! It's Air Fortress!

This sounds a lot like a game my brother and I would play called Gravity Well!

Guys. I need your help. I played a first person shooter game on the PC when I was a child. I think it first starts on the cave and there was some platforming involved and there was that level where you are in the village and the village gets raided so you help defend the village and it also had a different variation where it was raided by Centaurs I think? There was also a level where you were in an underground water cave and there was a beach ball and a crocodile and a steel door. (That's how far I was on the game) Please help me.

 

[paulina]

okay so there's this old 90's game and I don't remember much but basically it's nighttime and there's this little kid wandering around and the house is empty. he then goes through a window or tv and then the next thing I remember is he's walking through a maze. the whole time, the color of the light is blue/purple because of nighttime. I know it's not much to go on
