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

[Pixelhunter]

Ok so finding this game has been bugging me for a really long time! I'll try and give as much info as possible.

* Background: I was playing this game around the same time as Descent and Doom, etc. so I'm thinking it might have been MS-DOS possibly.
* System: PC, either DOS or Win 95
* Year: mid to late-90's
* Perspective: Top down view, could move ship/plane up, down, left or right to navigate around walls and corridors, etc.
* Art style: Dark color pallet, fairly detailed for it's time
* Environment: Kinda fuzzy on this but I'd guess space/space hangars or futuristic military bases?
* Mood: Sci-fi/serious
* Genre: Shooter
* Gameplay: You choose and then pilot a ship or plane that is always on the ground (like it's taxiing everywhere lol) and your ship has weapons to destroy other ground targets which varied in size. When you press an arrow key, your plane faces and then travels that direction, so this rules out any game such as Solar Striker and Gradius etc. Again you were always on the ground and I remember getting lost in some of the levels because they were almost maze-like and rather large.

Hope that helps!

"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.

Hi there guys.

I am new to this forum but I am looking for a/some game(s) REALLY BADLY. You remember the Polish "Play" company? (this one: http://www.gamefaqs.com/company/174151-play-publishing or http://www.play-publishing.com/ ). So,they released a game called "Bug Mania" and I had one that had two CDs,one with the Bug Mania game and a other one,and that's the one I am looking for. I know it has a game like there were Adam and Eve (like kids) and you needed to use rainbows to quickly go up the level cause there was a flood if you took too long. And others like a demo version of a game in which you were using a purple guy to push crates around and stuff like that.

I think I have the CD somewhere over at my house but I can't find it and I don't think I will and I am desperate already as I still have Bug Mania ( http://www.gry-online.pl/S016.asp?ID=10167 but instead of the games icons down there,I have therefrom left to right) "MAX GAME" logo,Caveman Adventures,Tattoo Studio and a Czech translation of: "3 Full Games") so if anyone has it,can someone please upload a ISO of it somewhere? I hope it's not piracy or something but I am from Slovakia so the postage would be expensive.

I hope someone still has it :/ I am not really sure if it was with Bug Mania or separate but we always had them in the same cover (CD cover) and my brother also told me they were together (I don't really remember it as my dad bought it when I was younger).

Thanks and sorry for the long text,but I hope somebody will understand and help me find it,again,THANKS

I don't really think ANYBODY even has the DVD,but.....do actually someone has it?

Nope,it's not in there But I think it wasn't like ONE game,it was something like a DEMO disc or something like that containing a lot of demo games such as: Roads of Fantasy,Fox Jones or Full games such as the one with the Rainbows and these things. Can anybody please tell me,if they had the Bug Mania,did it have two discs? Cause I am pretty sure that it was like a "DISC 2" in that game. So if anybody finds it,I would like them to upload an iso of it somewhere or maybe I could buy it from them

Hey guys,

got a tough one for ya. My girlfriend told me, that in the late ninetees (or early 2000's, she's not sure ) she used to play the Mario-style game with exploding boxes which had the plus (or cross) symbol on them. On PC. That's all she remembers Any thoughts? Thanks!

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'm trying to remember an old game that was either on playstation one or two ( probably ps2).
What I remember is that its an action adventure game based on a dark medieval mythical setting most likely mature because of its gore content.

In the cinematic, I remember that there was an a war between humans and demonic minotaurs, and then the outcome show the minotaurs eating the humans flesh and fighting for it. Then the hero shows up (I think) where he looked big and buff with black long hair and sort of a big two handed sword. And I remember starting in a castle filled with demonic creatures and it was kinda dark like it was at night. And The hero was mostly like a lone warrior, i don't remember interacting with any other characters cause most were dead corpses

That's all I remember, I played it when I was still very young and I want to remember what its name was.

Bump plz!

Devil May Cry?

Haha no its not DMC it was set in older times like Medieval and it had some hack and slash but not DMC extreme hack and slash. also the game play felt kind of heavy and meaty.
Thank you for the suggestion

Its DOOM

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

 

[piperloop]

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

 

[Ogoid]

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!

[Mariosbro]

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)

 

[aaiiddaass]

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.
