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

[Ogoid]

This game is one that I have been searching for for a while but I only have very vague memories about it.

It was on PC and I played it sometime in the late 90's early 00's (but it may have been older). It was a medieval fantasy game, maybe RPG, that was first person 3D, and simple graphics. You moved about the overworld, time passed (day/night cycle witht visibility going down as it got darker), and NPCs were 2D sprites that got bigger as you approached them. The player character was a young male and I think that he had some sort of magical powers that were untrained at the start of the game. I think there was voice acting along with portrait-dialogue boxes when speaking to NPCs.

I remember a menu screen that was tied to learning your magical abilities. I have the impression of some sort of alchemical interface - a cauldron, or magical forge, some centralized mechanism and in order to learn new spells, you selected various properties and they 'combined' over in-game time. It may have even had something to do with your character spending time to 'study'. I was too young to really understand it at the time. I dont know that I ever actually crafted a spell.

Other tidbits I can recall:

-You could camp by the side of the road to pass time and restore health.
-Monsters came out at night into the overworld
-Player character was a novice mage/wizard whatever and part of the story was in trying to learn why you could do magic.
-There was an NPC you were supposed to find and talk to. When you found him, he complained about being out of tea (or ale, something like that) and would only help you if you brought him this beverage. I always got stuck here as a kid. Again, I dont know for sure but I have the vague idea he was dressed like a monk - brown robes, belt of rope, bald head.
-I think you always start a new game having washed up on a beach but this is the weakest memory.

Yeah, that's gotta be Betrayal in Antara [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RD1OIw2vW8I&list=PLD952906BF4DB8E62&index=2].

Everyone I knew who played it got stuck in trying to find that damn mage his tea... good times.

EDIT: !!!!!!!!!Someone on reddit has managed to find the game! It's called Warhammer Online: Wrath of heroes if anyone is interested !!!!!!!!!!

Hey guys,

This game has been closed down - had it's own launcher, and no, i don't remember the companies name or anything of that matter. Oh, also they gave a brief warning that the game was being shut down about 1 month prior

Altogether by the time the game closed down there was about 15 or so heroes/characters in the game... now into the important stuff.

The game i'm looking for I played probably about 2-6 years ago. It was a pc only multiplayer Free to play Third person Hero game that was (i think) 6v6 with the main objective being capturing points dotted around the map until you reach the point-cap~ thus winning you the match. You had a few starting heroes and could unlock more via ingame currency earned from playing matches (The heroes were very pricey if you used ingame currency) or could also be unlocked using the payed for currency. The game got quite regularly updated with more heroes and occasionally a few other things like fixing bugs. Each hero had it's own set of unique abilities - some of which i will list now,

(This is only from memory)~ A rat (stealth dps) character that had poison bombs and could go invisible (visible if you got to close to an enemy) with (maybe a smoke bomb?) and the hero's weapon was dual daggers. I think this hero could also heal himself in some way but i'm not sure

Next hero~ A scorpion (tank?) - don't remember anything about this.

Next hero~ Some sort of goblin (or frog?) that was a healer with area of affect heals that placed a circle shaped heal on the floor healing all teammates that walked into it with also some more abilities of which i don't remember.

Next hero~ A human (single target dps) that had a mace as his weapon (i think) and the abilities i remember are being able to root a single target~also stunning them and could leap towards (or pull towards-can't remember) other players.

As for maps all i remember are 4 maps (I'm pretty sure there were more than 4) -

Some sort of grassy tree map with a temple-like structure in the middle,
A stone ruins map,
A fully indoors sand temple map,
And some sort of gladiator arena with a circle in the middle of it (also had other structures inside the arena)

That is pretty much all i remember about this game and it's driving me bonkers that i can't remember it, if someone could direct me to this game i would be more than grateful... I've been trying to find this game for months and all I can think of doing now is posting what I remember and hoping someone can help. Thank you if you have read all of this, even if you can't help me in any way If you find this game you. mean. the. world. to. me.

Hi, there was this game on a PC back in the 90's, where you could choose between a boy or a girl character, it was first person view like wolfenstein 3D, but in a fantasy setting. You were in a maze and maybe it was related to a vampire, but not sure. On the first level you had to kill giant spiders and humanoids (maybe dwarfs) with giant spiked clubs and horned viking-associated helmets. Your weapons were your fists, but you could pick up items, heals and treasure. The exit was locked and I believe you had to find a key or finish off the monsters to unlock the door.
Can someone guess the name of the game?

Hi everyone!

So, there's an old 2D game (for game boy color ou PC I believe) that I used to play a long long time ago.
It was similar to Pokemon, where you capture monsters and train them. The battles involved more than one monster in each side. The monsters were quite strange with equally strange names. I believe there was a rabbit, a jack-in-the-box (boxacot?), a cactus, a carrot, and a lot lot more but I can't remember them all...

If anyone has any idea I would appreciate it a lot!

Instantly I thought of MissionForce: Cyberstorm [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MissionForce:_CyberStorm].

This one is the trickiest, i think it was PS1 it was a turn base strategy if i remember fully, you had to breed monsters and combine them with monsters or materials (i do not remember this quite well), It was not a digimon game, nor a jade cocoon, it wasn't dragon quest or eternal eyes or creatures. It was a really hard game, 40 minutes in i remember going into some kind of ruins and i could never really go past them. If the monster breeding went wrong you would end up with a horrible mess of a creature. I dont remember the game using sprites as characters. Thats all i remember I need this game please help me, it has bugged me for months

Sounds like Monster Rancher based on the difficulty alone.

Hello. So I'm looking for this game, and all I can remember are some really vague details. It's a puzzle game in space, where you have to move the crates and block the lasers, so you can free some monsters? (or furry things) there are also some switches you must press in order to achieve your objective. Can anyone help me? I looked frantically for a couple days. Thx in advance.

 

[Neilyd666]

Hey hey ho everyone!!..... I used to play a game back in the 90s, I'm sure it's was on the Amiga but I could be wrong!! Lol! You were a green/blue skinned army alien guy with ginger hair (it was quite gory for the time) as in You could shoot your enemies heads off??? My problem is I don't remember to much about the game it's self, I just remember it being like a side scrolling platformer???? Please there's got to be someone out there that can help me?!!

Hey guys, Im looking for a game I played on the PS2 a while ago. You could choose between 4 characters: a swordfighter, an axefighter, a mage and a girl fighting with her fists (I remember her name beeing Tina). The game was playable in Co-op and had different levels with a mini boss and an endboss each. The endbosses i remember are an ice queen, a dragon and later in the game an archdemon. I hope you can help me and thx in advance.

There's this game I had on the PC in the 2000's that probably came on a cd rom with other games. I used to get those sorts of things with magazines, i remember some having 'Icy Towers' and 'Gex' and a demo of an Ace Ventura Game. It may not have even been on one of those, thus, making all of what I just said irrelevant.

Anyway, it's a 2D sidescroller and you're some sort of animal thing? whatever it was it stood on its hind legs. it was very vibrant in colour and it had the option to make your own levels. You'd walk on dirt with grass on top and there'd be spikes that could kill you and you could collect possibly apples or various foods or something? I remember the background being some sort of nice sunset or maybe you could change it. The most distinctive thing for me, however, was that the music was very similar to Pachelbels Canon.

Okay this isn't so much of a game as it is a computer program. Back on my parent's old Windows computer, if you right clicked on the desktop home screen, there was some kind of option on the menu that appeared that would generate either a cat or dog. It was a cartoon cat and dog (kind of chubby looking) and the bar that ran across the bottom of the screen acted as the floor. If you dragged it higher up on the screen, it would fall until it reached the bottom bar. Essentially, the cat and dog would kill itself in various ways, either on its own or when you'd click on it, and then despawn. Some of the different ways it would do this include: holding its breath until its head exploded, drinking poison from a class bottle with an X on it, hitting itself with a giant hammer, and some other ways that I can't remember.

That seems like a downloadable thing you'd get from a website full of viruses. I remember downloading those sorts of things from a website called 'jokesandgames.com' which is no longer running. There were also sheep you could make run around your screen or 3D worm hole loops and other things that would appear on your screen and you couldn't get them off.

There was this one game where you played as this alien working for a company who extincted animals for snack food and then targets his race.The name doesn't really come up in my head.I remember that it had a sequel or two

Not sure if this has been answered yet considering it's been 6 years, but I believe you're thinking of 'Oddworld: Abes Oddysee'
