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

[flamingalbatrosse]

I can't remember the name of this flash game that I used to play. I've tried finding it for a while. Any help will be appreciated!

It's a 2d platformer game, heavily black and white. The narrator is unreliable and explains things at the top of the screen. He's a silhouetted figure until the end of the game. At one point he leaves because you keep ignoring his suggestions (that get you killed).

He tells you to press 'space' to jump, but 'space' is suicide and has you restart the level. He tells you that needles are dangerous, but you can actually pick them up and use them as projectiles to jump to higher places. He tells you to collect gems but they are deadly. He tells you to avoid these bright beams of light but they take you to the next level.

At the end of the game, you fight the narrator (who insists that if you keep going, you'll end up killing them both). He mirrors your movements and jumps in the last fight.

If anyone knows what this game is, thanks!

(It's not Invertion. It's -somewhat- similar, but not the same.)

Hello. I remember playing this realy dark FPS for playsttion around 2000-2001, It started with the player standing outside a big square building, surrounded by water on all sides. Te building was completely open at the bottom except from the pilars the building was standing on. It was realy dark, and once inside we would soon be jumped by monsters, falling from the ceiling. Im not sure what the monsters were, but my friend called the game the spider game, so i guess it was spiders. I dont remember if we had any weaponsor anything, but whenever we got attacked and died, we had to start outside the building again. Realy hope someone knows what im tlaking about and know the name of this game.

Long, long time ago I was playing 2D platform game on PC, with a small cartoon skeleton. Player was collecting/buying weapons, and killing pedestrians. Graphic design was in a cartoon style. As far as I remember, the main character was small (Skeleton of a kid?), an dressed in orange/brown t-shirt and trousers. I cannot remember the name of that game. Rings a bell anyone?

Anyone? It is a PC game, not Skullkid

I know exactly what game you mean, but I can't for the life of me remember the name.
I remember the people in it reminded me of Terrance & Phillip from South Park.

I'm sorry that I am not possible to give you all more information it had been some years ago :\.
If anyone can help me with this I will really appreciate it.

 

[pappana]

i have searched high and low for this game, i have been through every damn page of the internet only to be dissapointed with the results.

and as a final act of despereation because i cant do this alone ive turned to this lovely thread,

the game i seek was an old pc game for windows 95, 97 or 98, well it was a pc game atleast, i remember playing it on a pc,

it was a sing-along game with nursery rhymes, and it had pictures of monsters at every song for example "oh my darling clementine" had pictures of a little yellow monster girl in minors(an actual miners outfit not a minor as in a person under the age of 18)

for each different song it was other monsters with relevant objects, it must have been atleast 18 years since i played it so my memory is very fuzzy as when i gre older i forgot about it, but i really really want to find it.

the cd itself i think was purple but im not sure and the menu screen was purple with little pictures you used to click on a song.

i jave to find this game please if you have any idea of the game please tell me.


and no the game is not "my singing monsters" i have absolutley no clue at all what the name of the game is but i still remember the songs and pictures very well.

anyone knows this game?

Hi, I need to help with this one, been searching for it for a while.

Its an old PC strategy game (something like Age of Empires or so) instead of medieval it was more like Samurai, Shogun, Japan like but basically classic strategy where you build houses produce troops and attack or defend. Maybe it was only singleplayer. But basically that 2.5 Dimensional look you have in AoE.


The only thing I remember is that it has something like a word "dragon" in its name.

And I remember this: You could find a head of a statue (Buddha I think) and you could use your builder (or whatever the most basic units was) to take it and when you get it to the rest of the statue the statue will repair itself and give you some reward, eg. troops, bonuses, more builders...


And it is not anything like Total War series or so...

Thanks for help.

Hi. I'm looking for a game that I played inabout 2005 (and thats not for certain, but I guess that was +- 2 years from that year). I played it on a win 98 (yeah, I know, win98 in 2005 ). It wasn't some spectacular game, becouse I saw it some day in a mall, where all those games was in some basket with SALE label on 'em. So it ought to be dated on that year, nontheless it could be a bit older. I spend a lot of time playin' that as a kid and I'd love to try it again.

Things that I remember:

1. It was a simple 2d game (vision follows your move)

2. As I remeber there were two main characters - Wizard or sth., he was blue. I guess his basic weapon was some kind of a floating fireball, but it wasn't made of fire, more sth. blue, maybe ice (I can't remember). 2nd character was a non-magic soldier, I doubt he was a viking, because every time I say that I get Lost Vikings and that's not it. However his basic weapon was axe. And he was bigger than wizard, maybe muscular.

3. Somewhere on maps were available 'shops', where I could get some additional weapon (don't know how many). One of them was a ball, that thrown flied for a moment and exploded in some distance in front of character. That I remember and it had best visual effect.

4. For certain there are 2 maps that I can characterize: a cave, cold I guess and snowy maybe, that we're exploring on the bottom of the screen while going right and then we hop up and we go left. We can go back any time. Second map was a castle and I remember that I couldn't go upstairs, they were not like this |-|, more like this _| and pressing up arrow didn't help, I had to press up and right for example arrow to get on 'em. There were many of maps, but those I remember most. Aw, there was also (I guess basic) map with green background, maybe some trees or sth.

Thanks for your effort.

any of the brave dwarves series perhaps?

THank you SO MUCH THAT IS THE ONE I WAS LOOKING FOR YOU ARE AWESOME xD

 

[mushuukyou]

Please help me. I signed up here to find this. I'd appreciate a PM or email or something, in case I don't get notified.

There is this game I played. I think it was a wizard. Graphical. You can level up your guy's ability or something, or was it just get new ones, I forget. You get put OUTSIDE the dungeon area, and you can buy stuff or get your stuff ready.. then you go in.. and the place is divided up into rooms. I think there are different attacks, shields, etc that you can use. It's not "Runers" or anything.

I remember the boss fights, too. Hard stuff. It was not 2d. I'm not sure what else to say.

Holy cow you're right! THANK YOU! This has been driving me crazy for WEEKS! I have looked and looked. You are awesome!!!!

 

[georgia1986]

Good afternoon! I'm hoping someone can help me, I've been scouring the internet for two days and this is driving me crazy. This was an RPG game that I played on my husbands playstation back in 2011. I can't remember exact details but I know you broke into a castle, found some sort of lumbering giant creature in a cage and you freed it. It followed you everywhere and you could swap between the two and play as both characters. This giant wasn't the smartest thing in the world but it was huge. Kinda reminded me of Big Daddy in Bioshock. I want to say he was green? But he may not have been. You're traveling around a fantasy world collecting something, I can't remember what. Sorry! But I do remember that one of the bosses I fought was inside of an old castle building and it was a giant spider. Sorry I don't have much more detail than that. It's been years since I've played it. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

This must be "Majin and the Forsaken Kingdom" (2010).

I'm looking for a game that had to do with aliens there were a couple of aliens if I'm correct there was a yellow alien (a young kid) there was a purple alien (mother) a green alien ( weird uncle) or something like that...it was an alien family who came to earth to clean up trash...the game was a cartoonish adventure game (pegi +6) it came in a 3cd or 4 cd box it was compatible with Windows 95/98 (xp?) Had a lot of fun with it when I was 20 years younger..

Sound like "Down in the Dumps"

 

[Chiderex]

Howdy there!
I was recently looking a video of a top about the hardest bosses ever,but before the top started,there was numerous sequences of old games and i saw one that catched my attention and i really want to play it.

https://youtu.be/EMPpn61fBF8?t=168 From 2:48 to 2:53, this shooter game where you can see a Battletoad-like guy without legs with the big a** gun. Does anybody know it's name?

I know this post is kinda off topic,but i really would appreciate i someone told me that VG's name. Thank you!
(PS:Excuse me for my lame english)

So, i have been searching for this game on the internet for a long time.

- It is a Sci-fi/futuristic game

- Its a War/shooting game, you control one soldier and have the other AI soldiers help you to fight an army of aliens.

- You see your soldier from a distance, like Zelda games.

- You could ask for reinforcements (soldiers) based on how many aliens you killed, an i remember they would come in a small spaceship in groups of 4-5, there where many tiers of reinforcements.

- You have to defend a base, there where usable turrets there and some interactable doors etc.

- I remember the game title having "war" and a year like "2031" or "3000" on it, but im not sure.

- And i remember playing it on a Cd ROM on PC, in one of these "1001 games" CD that comes with a magazine.

 

[V0idKing]

Old game, cannot remember exactly when i used to play it, but it was before 2000. The game I believe was on PC. You could pick from 2 characters, one which was a Lad with a lazer cannon on his hand, not sure if he was a blue colour. The second character which you could choose was a female character she may have been red, her weapon may have been a sword, or a lazer sword, and you would go through various stages to complete the game. Sorry if it is vague, but any help would be great. It's definitely a sci fi game, was super fun.

The characters you described look like Megaman and Zero from the megaman series(Zero isnt a woman but has long hair and uses a laser sword).

Hey, I search for the name of a game form the 90s (?).
You where controlling a catapult-like device mounted on a castles wall and had to hit targets.
After a few rounds, there where bonus games, like you had to shoot babies on baby bottles or dart arrows on balloons.
The ammunition of the catapult differed between rocks/balls to rockets and - like above - babies and dart arrows.
I don't remember the exact year and if it was a DOS or Windows game.
Would be great, if someone knows it.

*Bump*
Has someone any idea what its name was?

Thank you so much. I spent hours of googling it, but couldn?t find it anywhere.
