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

[Magnitian]

An old game (late 80's probably) with side scrolling through different fantasy environments.

I specifically remember a point later in the game where your character gains the powers of a mouse and can walk on the walls and ceiling.

I think I remember getting different items to fight with.

That's all I can recall, thanks. Just found this thread, sorry if it's been found already.

Salam,

Well, in 90's i had played a game sort of space gameplay in which there was a mothership with female voice and we have to create helicoptors, tanks, APVs and attack to other mothership, the best part of this game is that we can select ourself to stay in mothership or select helicoptor to ride or tank to ride and we slip into it and the hud get changed and we are in the battle.

Any ideas guys ?

I am re-posting this as I still haven't managed to figure out which game is haunting my memory.

The game came on an early 2000's European PC game magazine demo disc. It could have been PCGamer, PCZone or a Finnish PC game magazine.

What I remember is something like this:

You start out in a nomadic camp in a desert. The game is either an action-adventure or an RPG (possibly a hybrid). You (a male protagonist, I believe) go around the camp talking to people and completing tasks. It has a fantasy/sci-fi like setting. You are preparing to leave the camp for some reason. One of the tasks involves getting a rudimentary weapon (a sword or a stick?). Once you have left the camp and entered the desert, the demo ends. It is a 3D game, and I *think* it's in the third-person. You can jump. I remember some strange, alien animals (although the people in the camp were all human as was the protagonist). Everything was a very tan brown, "desert" colour. The buildings looked like brown stone huts or tents.
This is all I can remember. I'm not even sure how much of it is accurate, and how much of it my mind has made up over the years.
I remember being impressed by the "freedom" it offered and the graphics.
I was easily impressed back then.

It is not Outcast, or Heavy Metal FAKK 2 (as some people have suggested).

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. I may also have a surprise gift for the person that manages to find the game for me?

I've been looking for this game forever but can't remember the name of it and its been driving me nuts. It's an old school windows 95 or older game. I was pretty young when I played it lol. From what I remember of it it was installed with several floppy discs (Bring back the good ol days!) It was a first person 3D RPG. You started out on like a farm where your master always whittled something. The first quest I can remember was feeding the ugly dog along the way then you moved to another zone with a skeleton in a cave that had a big two-handed axe. You also get a spell book that I think had a little owl or dragon as the courser when in the spell book menu. I'm thinking the name was like "Dragon Quest" or something along the lines of that but nothing that looks familiar ever comes up. Hoping somebody here knows remotely the game I'm talking about haha.

I was thinking eariler about all the games i used to play and one came to mind that i used to love, but i cannot for the life of me remember what it was so I wondered if anyone else gets this same memory issue and who knows Might end up finding some classics we forgot long ago.


My one is a PC game It was a car game of sorts driving around and arena leaving a coloured trail behind you and you killed other players by getting them to drive into the trail you leave behind. I think the cars and arena were mostly black (or at least the version i had was) and the trail and 'walls' coming from the cars were really bright colours depending on team etc. Like red, orange, green, blue.


Well there you go, What games have you forgotten, Hopefully we can rediscover old games we thought long lost!

I loved that game as a child, the game you're referring to is most likely Tron. There were many knock offs made online for people to play so the exact games name will be hard to track down, but it is most likely a Tron rip-off someone created.

 

[Magnitian]

I found the game I was looking for, it is called Dragon's Curse. Also related is Wonder Boy in the Land of Monsters. Played on Sega Master System as a kid.

 

[cadavera8]

The game I'm looking for was some kind of adventure RPG for windows 95 or possibly 98. You started by building a party from a few different typical classes (warrior, wizard, amazon, etc.) and assigning points to various stats. When you explored on the overworld, the game seemed to be in first person (in 3D), but whenever you were attacked your party would appear in front of you and fight the monster (in 2D). Fighting was difficult to control, the monsters were usually huge and the game was very difficult. I remember that it was on my computer when I first got it. Any ideas?

 

[kliving]

I remember playing this game all the time after school and it's driving me INSANE. There was this little guy that you controlled through the levels and he would walk around and eat stuff like cheeseburgers and fries and shakes to power up, very 2d graphics, nothing special. I can't really remember much more but I wish I could because I LOVED it. I also played Chip's Challenge all the time, but that wasn't it. If anyone could help, I would be so thankful!

 

[kudkudak]

hi, i am also in sort of a need, i can;t find name of this game, and i remember only vague details, so sort of a challenge for you

it was an old windows game (kind of windows 98? release date ;round 2000?) and it was designed for kids. there was this house with attic kitchen etc with mini-games on every floor, so you could play chess, snakes and ladders,puzzles and stuff like that. there was this chicken also..

thanks in advance

 

[Sebii Punct]

So... i don't really remember when i played this game but there are some things i remember:
-Third Person Shooter
-On pc
-After every mission/level to go to you'r base or something like that you go in the sewer's.
-The first level:
You were like a plumber or something like that and you came to a lady's apartment with you'r coworker to fix something and then a helicopter come's to the window and start's to shoot
( russian's i think )
Then you exit the apartment and on the hallway was like a russian officer that keep't the people with their face to the you kill him with the wrench i think and go to the rooftop where you shot military people ... etc.

Hope you can help .

I watched a game play of gauntlet legends and I suddenly remembered the character select which is composed of only 4 characters (no change in colors, face, etc.) I remember them standing on a small piece of rock and you have to press left/right to choose.
I'm still not sure about Gauntlet Legends even though it resembles the still unknown game in my mind a lot.
Also, thanks to Dajosch for suggesting. I'm gonna watch more videos soon.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who can't remember the name of a game. I'm trying to remember a game that I played several years back online. It was similar to Grave Shift, in that it was isometric (I think) and was a similar gameplay, though more difficult and better response.

I recall two things about the game. It had an area of lava that you had to avoid while walking around on metal grates, and there was an area that had large logs that would jut in and out that you had to avoid. You had to get different color keys to enter different areas.

I think the game was a series (had different installments) and I believe the name of the game included the name of the character.

Anyone have an idea of the game I'm trying to remember?

I've tried searching every way I can think of; walkthroughs, images, etc. I can picture the game, I just can't remember its' name.

I do believe you're looking for Chips Challenge

 

[yhipeekaye]

hi
i`ve been looking for an old ps1 game for quite a long time. i always played it with my brother and i can only remember the multiplayer modus. it went like this: one of the players was a soldier with blonde hair, the other some beast/tiger shaped thing. the soldier had a gun with bullets and the beast a laser. the setting i think was somewhere in the future. the meaning of the multiplayer modus was just fighting against each other. you could also find ammo on the ground, ride on large machines and have pets.
i also remember the first scene of the campain: the tiger says something and then jumps into a portal or something like that.
it would be great if you guys could help me!
Thank you anyways

Never played it, but the desert theme might point to Severance: Blade Of Darkness [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Severance:_Blade_of_Darkness]. That was the first game featuring blood realistically running down stairs if I remember correctly

You started by building a party from a few different typical classes (warrior, wizard, amazon, etc.) and assigning points to various stats.

Could be Drakkhen [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drakkhen]. There's a rather nice video from the Until We Win series by LordKat about it. [http://www.lordkat.com/until-we-win?page=1]

I remember this game way back in 1983. It was for the Atari 800 and was on a floppy disc. Basically you entered this haunted mansion where (I believe) you had to find this ancient relic and then escape. But before you started the game you had to enter in a four digit code where it basically changed the dangers in this game. As to how the numbers you entered actually effected the game was pretty much anyone's guess as much of it was a lot of trial and error. Some times entering one number would make the welcome mat you walked on safe, but another time with a different number, it made it a trapped door that lead to an instant death on spikes. It really put you on edge as to how a different number code would change the game. But as tough as it was I really liked the randomness of it and played it often even when I made little progress, up until the day my Atari 800 finally died on me. I have no ideal who made the game and again I think it was originally for the Apple system, but it was (for the time) quite interesting and I hope to remember the name of it some time soon.

Good luck to anyone who can remember it though as it is quite ancient in video game years.

It could also be one of the Gold Box engine D&D games. There were a /ton/ of these. Wikipedia has a <link=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold_Box>list.

Here's a review/walkthrough of the first one, that includes character creation, the first person parts, and battle:

 

[SuperblyBonkers]

I gotta ask this one,it's been on my mind recently.
It's a PS1 game
we play as a team,like blue team/red team,etc(pretty sure it's 3 A.I and me,so 4 char per team)
we pick up blocks and put stack in a square mark and it makes weapons when we break open the stack by hitting it.
the map is kinda a field that we can choose
also I remember when I stacked the block and it forms a 2x2x2 cube,it will be a tank when we break it
Also,I think there's base capturing involved(not sure)
That's as far as I remember.Please identify this game

Reposting,

Looking for a very old game, somehwere from betwean 1990-2000. It`s a PC, 2D sidescroller where you could play as 1 of the 3 classes - mage, archer and warrior(no not Trine, Trine is 2009). So what you did is, you had to walk through the dungeons collecting gems and fighting different kinds of foes, doing some mediocre platforming, you could also upgrade your characters skills if i`m not mistaking. And as far as I remember, I haven`t played this game in 10, or more, years, the final boss was some large skeleton with a crown.
The heroes all looked like dwarfs or maybe even Vikings, but it`s not any of the "Lost Vikings" games.
And yet again, if my memory doesn`t fail me miserably, the executable was called dwarf.exe or dwarf2.exe (cause that was what it looked like on my desktop at the time, cause I spent so much time in front of it)
Also if this helps, the style was a bit cartooney and it`s certainly not "Golden Axe"
