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

[Lisa Stone]

I remember a game I found online where you play as a small orange robot and you had to use lego like bricks to build bridges to the exit for it. The little bot continued walking back and forth if something was in its way and you had to avoid water drips and hot stuff.
I've been looking all day and I can't remember what it was called for the life of me ;-;

Heres the plotfrom what I remember)
So you and your sister(you're both young) are walking and your sister gets abducted by aliens. You have to go through many different levels to try and find her. At the end of each level, you go through a portal which begins the next level. On this one particular level, you jump on the shells or turtles in water or something like that. This was a pc game that you could download I believe.

Anyone have any idea of what this game is called?

I remember playing this game, probably about 6 years back. It was an online detective game where you had to click around and there were little to no animations. There were a bunch of different cases and I remember one being about a car with a dead body falling into a pond and you had to try and find the killer. Im pretty sure there was another case where you had to go through the sewers but I'm not sure what for.

Does anyone know what I'm talking about? I've been trying to figure out the name of it for months but I can't remember.

Stickman Murder Mysteries! I loved those games. Unfortunately, the site isn't up anymore, but I think you can still play them via wayback machine. https://web.archive.org/web/20140828015117/http://www.normandcompany.com/STICKMAN/index.html

I probably first played them like 10 years ago. Only recently did I watch Twin Peaks and realize the creepy little man from the dreams in the games was based off of The Man from Another Place.

No worries. It's a game called Junkbot.

 

[Peter Lam]

May someone help me with this?

So, I don't recall which game console was it, probably PlayStation 1.
It was set in Japan. You're playing as a peddler, pushing your wooden food truck and selling mainly noodle.
You can use different ingredients to make the noodle to the customer, and also there's a bell or something to attract people to come.

Do you mean Charumera? Wasn't released outside of Japan, as far as I know.

Yes! I'm sure this is the game!
Love you man! You saved my childhood! : )
Thank you so much.

But In my memories, there's another one that is quite similar to this game? (maybe not)
I don't know how you did it.
Anyways, love you and thank you.

I am posting to this 5 year old thread as a last attempt. Sadly I cannot remember this game that I played so much of.

As I recall (It was over a decade ago) it is a almost D&D like MMO. You start off in a dark forest or something and through the forest is a castle where there are skeletons and treasure and such. It's very dimly lit and it was a sword and shield game. Or whatever other classes there were as well that I didn't pick.

I've spent a lot of money and time buying old games and systems for a giant nostalgia trip, but this would just top it off perfectly.
If someone knows what I am talking about from the minimal info given, please help.

Hey guys! After countless attempts of trying to Google search into finding an old PC game I used to play with my brothers back when I was young and we all had to share our family laptop, I finally gave in and I found this.

I remember the game being point and click, with all these bald people with specific colors that correlated with what their ability was. (pink = love, blue = electricity, etc.) I remember it was on some island, where whatever order you had picked the colored people with decide whether or not you won the game. There were about 8 people that you had to pick from, with white being some city planner, green being the nature observer and many others.

For some reason, I seem to think that the game was Japanese, like the words were all written in Japanese and so were the credits, but I don't think that the title was in Japanese (but it might have been).

I know that there were many games by the same people that were all very similar, but if it were possible that someone could give me the name of just one of those games, I'm sure I could find the one that I am specifically looking for. Thanks!

 

[BamoAdonis]

The name and memory of this game has been bugging me for years. Just found this thread on Google. Can anyone help. Here goes:

I remember playing the game on what i think was Playstation, where on the battlefield you could use any character or vehicle by simply focusing on it and tapping a button. Game was awesome cos you could be a sniper and see a chopper aiming at you, simply look for a tank tap the button and blast tbe chopper.

Does any1 remember this?

Great thread! I found this thread via Google when I was searching for an old game I played. Here are the details.

Back in the early to mid 90s my father had played this computer game I would like to try and beat as an adult.
Here is what I remember:

You played as this floating robot who was helping assist these male and female space pilots. I believed they were space "salvagers" but this may not be true. The game is a puzzle game.

The crew of this tiny space ship find this massive unknown alien ship which comes at them. Its primary weapon is a giant scissor that crushes anything that falls into it. This massive ship crushes part of the crew's tiny salvager ship and they end up having to board this alien ship. The urgency to explore the space ship is doubled when they realize they're on a collision course with the sun.

You end up boarding the ship and realize that it is completely abandoned. There are corpses of giant rotting aliens. The reason these aliens are dead is because of these carnivorous bat like creatures that swarm when disturbed.

That is sadly all I remember of the game. There is one thing that was remarkable about this game. The game had high-quality videos of the two humans. As in they had real actors record the cut aways and voice dialogue. They were green screened ontothe environment as well to add to the realism.

I've been searching for this game for years and it's driving me nuts how I can't find it. Any help would be appreciated.

The game is called "The Deadalus Encounter" (1995).

Hello all!

I've been trying for years to remember what the name of this apparently nich? game was.
The core of the game was that you have some kind of motorized flying vehicle(hovercraft?), looked maybe something like a hot air balloon basket with a motor on that you used to maneuver around the screen. Attached to this basket/vehicle there was a chain with a blade/spiked mace/whatever you could find and upgrade. The biggest and most bad ass upgrade was a huge spiked mace head at the end, and razors on the chain.

The game play was to some extent side scrolling, with flying enemies coming from the right. Those you would have to battle by moving your mouse in circles to make the chain w/attachment swing in the same motion as your mouse. A trick I found effective was to go slow in the beginning to get a good motion movement going, then circle faster to increase the spin and strength and smash to opponents with the blade/ball/attachment at the end of the chain.

Sometimes there was flying small monsters, other times there where opponents in their own motorized hot air balloon baskets w/chain and attachment.

I guess it was sort of similar to this http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/sonic/images/3/3e/Son1_04.gif/revision/latest?cb=20090917204809 , with way different graphics. Unfortunately I don't remember how long ago I played it, if I have to estimate I say 2009 +- 2 years.

I sincerely hope someone can help me remember so I get this ancient frustration out of my head!

Hey guys, Ia already asked this here, but got no right answers. Fortunately i just remembered the logo of the game. The game logo was a highway sign like this: https://t2.ftcdn.net/jpg/00/55/50/37/500_F_55503711_XCa5xNlPKbLtJRhWF5zF5qsTmZU5kE08.jpg
The game is an old arcade racing game i played in my childhood (should be from 2002-2005) I would be so happy if anyone knows the name.
Greetings, Elias

Not sure if anyone will remember this one or not...
It is a PC game, and used only the arrow keys for movement
It had 100 levels, and then repeated those same levels once you completed them. Tou were a little blue (i think) "car" that you moved around a large playing field. You had a little grey line sticking out from your front if you had a "gun" ready to use. It is a puzzle -type game that had a radioactive tube looking icon.

Any help? Been racking my brain for a while now. Im pretty sure this came out either late 80s or mid 90s

 

[tralala95]

[NOTYOURCONCERN]

Hello folks,
There was an old "Planet exploring" game I'm trying to find C:.
You are an astronnaut, you are in a planet, full of alien enemies, you could build a small fighting vessel, or a robot, and you control these. You can build these through a factory you find in the map. You could customize the ship's/Robot's weapons, chasis, etc.
The game was old, probably the same graphics as CS 1.6, or older...Anyways I appreciate your help! ^-^ Psst, I used to play it on pc .

Have you already had a look at the "Battlezone" series?

;O It looks similar thank you mate C:

You're welcome. And if it's just similar but not exactly a match

"Uprising: Join or Die" (1997) was a FPS/RTS-Hybrid as well.

https://www.gog.com/game/uprising_join_or_die

It also had a console based offspring and a proper sequel "Uprising 2: Lead and Destroy" (1998) on PC.

But actually it doesn't matter which game you play, they're all good. :-D

Didn't know about the uprising one! Thanks again man! (Let's all cry about the rubbish new [almost] games and remember how good old ones were! huehue)

 

[Ryukotsen]

I have had one on my mind. I believe its a late 90s fps set in the future. You fight against these alien insectoid creatures.you travel between different planets. Ive been trying for weeks to remember it

 

[shenandoah]

I'm from the UK and this would have been mid to late 90's I guess. Played it on a computer in primary school, but I can't remember if it was a Macintosh or a PC.

All I remember is that it was a first-person view and you could explore a town and the surrounding countryside by choosing to go left, right, forward or backwards. You played as a man (I think). It was basically a point-and-click though I don't think you could do anything aside from click the direction you wanted to go.

After each choice it would state "you travelled left/right/whatever 400 metres" or however long the distance was. I vaguely remember picking up a note/letter at one point (complete with terrible animation of the man walking towards the note and picking it up) but I don't remember if it was specifically an educational game or just one installed on our class computer.

This has been annoying me for at least a decade, so any help would be much appreciated. This thread would seem to be my last hope.

Sorry if I missed the previous answers, but I would say the Dutch A2 Racer or the German version Autobahn Raser. Maybe a later version, because the first is from 1997.

Hi, I have a few games that I've been looking for but have been having no luck with :c

1) This was a game that was available on the Xbox 360 shop as a free demo, around the late 2000s-early 2010s. It's a puzzle game. You play as a small.... bean-like being? There are two, one is red and one is blue. I think they have an antenna or something with a... glowing ball? On the top of their head? The game had very friendly colors, like nothing too dark or vibrant. And, I think you had to build them a path from point A to point B. And I think you had to use wooden blocks, like toy blocks, but they weren't on a floor. I think they were just floating in space? I dunno, but I really want to find this game. I thought it was cute and relaxing.

2) A really lame game that I don't even really remember enjoying, but I just want to find it so I can have closure. All I really remember is that it's a "girly" game, and so it has something to do with dreams and journals and... maybe a slumber party with other girls? I think I remember dream catchers, or going into the dream world, but I really can't remember.

3) This one I really want to find. It's a children's game, but I can't remember if it was educational or not. It's themed around bugs(but like what kid's computer game wasn't), and I distinctly remember that there was a section where you could design or dress up your own bug. I think I remember that the bugs were mostly orange and yellow, too, if that helps? Ah, I realize it's not a lot to go off of.

4) There's also a Disney game I can't seem to find. It was centered around Mickey Mouse, and I'm pretty sure this one was educational. Like, I'm pretty sure it had math and stuff. And dragons. There were definitely dragons. Baby dragons, if I'm remembering correctly. Oh, and Mickey was wearing his sorcerer's outfit.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I'm trying to remember the name of an RPG game where you and your friends get arrested. And the king sends you on a adventure, but he doesn't trust you so he sends his royal guard with you.

Final Fantasy IX? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IwpeVNxROUw
