Hello guys, plz help me find this game. I already tried to post this 3 times but somehow my account keep getting ban after a few minutes registerated. Anyway here is some information about the game:
- It's a PC game,Turn-based RPG (only turn-based in combat, in village or after killed all the monster the your character can run freely).
- Medieval time with swords, armor, spell, bow (not really sure about the bow)
- Many type of monster ( wolf, werewolf, some sort of ghost, bandits), maybe there are more type of monster but I didnt finish the game.
- You can get out of the current place by just go to the border of that place
- To move to other places the game will show a "old map" that you can click on the map to command your character to move to that place.
- Randomly encounter monster while moving on the "old map"
- You ONLY CONTROL 1 CHARACTER you create in the beginning, NO CLASS chosen, you build your character your way.
- First you will begin with a SMALL VILLAGE (with low-quality weapon and armor) near a forest ( you can see it in the ?old map?). After finish some mission or level up (not sure which one) the game will unlock a TOWN which has better items (its appear in the "old map") . And after some more mission you will see a CASTLE or very big town appear near the TOWN.
- I play the game arround 2005. 2D game top view.
- I didnt finish the game so maybe more monster or town exists.
Some information that I?m not so sure about the game:
- After lauch the game you will see a short movie about a fight between a guy (maybe a guy and a girl, very like your character) with a full-body heavy armor and big sword boss. The boss win the fight if I was right.
- Dont remember the game have other weapons like spears, axe.

What I remember

OS: Dos
Type of game: strategy/fantasy - turn based I think
Early - mid 90's
Into - end of it was black screen with white text that turned red(probably the name of the game)

Start with a castle basic soldier and explor the map.
Castles would build units
You capture other castles and could upgrade there defense.

Unit types soldiers, archers(longer sight) knights(I think)
best unit was a Phoenix

It looks a little Similar to warlords

This might be the first "Heroes of Might & Magic" (1996).

About 10-15 years ago I remember playing a 3d space shooter games.

I think it was on windows 95.

It was arcade style - you looked behind your ship, moved it around the screen with your mouse and slowly waves of aliens would come and you had to shoot (mouse click) them while they moved around. If you couldn't hit them in time, they would fly towards you and if made contact with your ship you would die.

After a while you could get upgrades and then you would fight bosses. One of the upgrades is a bomb and when you right clicked it blew everything up on screen.

There was also this really rare powerup that I think I got once, which makes your ship spin round really quickly and send bullets everywhere for about 20 seconds, destroying everything.

The most striking search item I can think of is that after I few levels (I think level 2 but unsure) the game actually switches from being 3d to on it's side and the waves would come from the right in vertical lines.

There was no music from what I remember but the sound effects were quite eerie. The aliens would make all these strange sounds, and there was this computational style narrator who would say things if you got a powerup (Thing's like "power increased" but I don't remember exactly what he said).

I spent about an hour searching before I came here, and the closest picture to describe it is here - http://badgerheadgames.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/tapinvasionl6.png

Although it was much better graphics (as it was 3d) and there was nothing at the bottom (except your ship)

The game did have a score system and was very difficult (probably due to the 3d aspect), I never beat it nor got close.

I would love to play this game again, and I actually remember finding it a few years ago and watching a playthrough of it on youtube!!! But I've forgotten again, silly me!!! (At least I know it's out there.)

Thank you for your help, if you think you've found it - please contact me on skype @ polaristherandom or message me directly.

Hey all, not sure how active this thread still is, and my clues for the game I'm looking for the name of are very vague, but hoping for the best.

-I would say I played the game between the years of 1994-2000 but may have been released earlier.
-I remember the game being point and click.. at least, it was first person
-I remember the game taking place in a house/mansion
-I remember the game revolving around puzzles
-There were ways you could "die" if puzzles were done incorrectly
-I vividly remember a pool table puzzle, and possibly a floor trap or something to do with spikes or marbles

Honestly, that's all I have to go on. The game wasn't "scary" but definitely has a tense feeling to it.

Hoping someone can help, thanks!

I can't remember the name of a 2D Mars colony strategy/simulation game played in Windows 98 around 1997-2001. It was essentially a 2D 1990's version of Sol 0. The game begins with player picking a colony location. A maximum of 4 colony modules can land. They can crash if the player picked a wrong location like mountains.

Reconstruction from memory of colony modules landing on Mars:

Could someone help me find the name of this jumbo pack of CD's from the late 90's, early 2000's?
The CD's were colorful PC disks that would have a variety of games, including Frogger and Theme Hospital.
One of the games in there was you playing a monk in a 64-bit style game where you ventured around and fought against various monsters like crows or birds. The music was really calming and the art style was typical sprites.

If anyone could help me find the name of either of these things, I'd be so grateful! Thank you!

I'm looking for a PC game late 90s early 2000s (I believe released after Grim Fandango) and hoping someone could help. I played only a demo I received with a game magazine.

Game is a point and click police detective game, set in the future (a la Blade Runner). Protagonist is a detective, bald and wears sunglasses. Can't really help with the story since I played only the demo, but someone was either kidnapped or disappeared.

Not Deux Ex, Dreamweb, Snatcher, Tex Murphy.

Hi guys!

I'm searching for an old point and click adventure game that I played on my mom's old laptop (somewhere between 95-99). I only remember parts of it, but i hope some of you have played with it :)

- The game takes place in a futuristic world, and it's in a cartoonish stlye, like the scummvm games
- You play with a guy who wears glasses and i think wears a white suit (not sure)
- You start in a place that looks like a construction site, and from there you can go to a subway station (in the toilet you got beaten up by some big guys, the train can run over you)
- There is an old house after that, where you get into an old apartment, where you can gather some stuff. I think there was an old lady you could talk to.
- The only "cinematic" i remember: You get into a flying car with a busty girl (she drives) and a big white dog. She brings you to an entrance of a futuristic mall (or some building). The entrance got a security robot-eye, that you can disable some way, but i think i only did it once :D
- In the mall (or some building) there are bunch of people moving, and i think that's where i got stuck.

Any help would be great :)
Sorry to quote it again, but it's bugging me too much :) It was not a big classic game for sure, i checked a lot of abandonware sites (at least 10), but no luck. Beneath a Steel Sky and Space Quest are not this game, but this one is like the hybrid of these two. Maybe a hint: it was preinstalled on a german notebook that my mom bought (used) in Germany.
Two years from my original post, and no clue what the game is....

Hey guys, i've been searching for this game for over 2 years now. The game was a top down RTS in the style of Age of Mythology and Age of empires. You could select between different kinds of monsters, one of them could build buildings that resembled huge alien eggs. I played it sometime during the very early 00's.

Please help! Looking for a game that was somewhat like Galaga as far as ship/aliens/shooting. Played it on a Mac in the early 2000s. You had a ship at the bottom of the screen that could only move L/R and you started with crappy guns and as you leveled up your guns upgraded and you could be shooting lots of things in different directions at once, and they were all different colors. There was a specifically cool one that arced around your ship on both sides. The bullets were little circles that you could hold down the button and they would constantly shoot. I can totally picture it in my head but can't find it anywhere!
