Hello, I've been working with my sister for quite a long time now trying to remember these two PC games. I believe they were both from the very late 90s or early 00s. One game was a black and white side scroller where you are trappped in a school and there are a bunch of bullies that you must avoid. I don't remember much else, but I remember it used to be pretty creepy. The other game, which I believe was called "Gizmo's Workshop"or something along those lines was a puzzle game. You were in this wizard Gizmo's workshop. Again, I don't really remember much but the game was designed for kids. I'm sorry for the lack of details, but the last time I played these games was when I was around 4 years old.

Loving this thread! I am interested in finding an arcade game I played in the 90's. It was a side scroller (the character was fixed in the middle of the screen), and I believe your character was some kind of cat that walked on two feet and carried a whip. When you killed mobs they turned into yellow or purple diamonds. I believe the sound effects are used in Prodigy's song Breathe.

Hello, I'm trying to find a game i played about 4 years ago. It was an 2D Adventure Game where you had a little spaceship and you had to go through several levels (only on planets not in space itself). You could find parts to equip your ship. (boosters, tubes, y-pipes, etc.)

Would be nice if anyone would know the title of the game.

greets, gr4pe

Hey there!

I'm loving this forum. Discovered it today, and already found so much games I loved back in the day!!
Well.. I'm searching for 3 games:

1. PC ( around 2000 ) RPG, Adventure ( can't remember if first person or third person )

- Some cold town ( must be around the year 1800-1900 ), the winter colder than ever. People were poor and didn't have anything to eat.
- The thing I remember the most is one child saying : " I am so hungry I will eat my face. "

2. PC ( around 2000) Funny fast paced multiplayer shooting game

- This was one of my favorite games.. It was a really fast paced shooting game, consisting of rounds. The most Important thing I remember was the characters.. I think they were funny little aliens.

3. PC ( also around 2000 ) "My first english"

As I am from slovenia, this was my first encounter with the english language. The game here is called " My first english" but I can't seem to find it on google or the internet..

The main character leading you through the game was I think a friendly green alien. I remember you had to solve puzzles using your microphone. I also remember one perticular level, where you went into some kind of a forest and you couldn't get past some spiky bush..

I would be most happy if anyone would have any idea for the games above.

Much love to everyone!

Happy new member of the community,

I remember playing a game where there were anthropomorphic characters, and they were in a hotel/mansion/manor like place, and each night, the player character had to kill one of the guests to give to the chef and serve for dinner. There was a turkey lady, an owl man, and a bat butler, and I think a deer guy(these are the ones I remember, there were more characters). It was a really cool game and I really want to find it again. I think it was a point and click.

So, i've been looking for this game i used to play back in 2010, it was an arcade game but with decent graphics, maybe a 2006-2008 game, about some colored fluffy balls that dig the ground and you could find treasures and stuff.
The screen set was just like bomberman, and you had to move to the right. It also had a timer, and you had to complete the stage in the given time.

I'm looking for a PC game I played when I was younger, probably early 2000s. It was an adventure game where the mission was to "get home," which required you to get through many levels of different tasks and puzzles to get to the spaceship, which would take you home. You also had to save different "secret agents" who were hidden throughout the game and if you let any of them die, you lost. One was trapped in the body of a pigeon. If you lost the level that was like a game show/trivia game, the next agent would end up in a lava lamp. You had to stay away from the baddies, which were like tin-man-esque/robot characters who would lock you up if they found you. The beginning starts off with an explanation of the mission (I remember salt and pepper shakers?) and the first task was to rearrange a picture of a woman with a fruit headpiece (Frida Kahlo-like). Other levels include running away from the baddies in a maze-like place by using decoys, matching recordings of noises with the location of the noise, and a tetris-like game with glass pipes carrying water. The baddie at the end is a real creep. The last task is wiring the spaceship properly to depart. I don't think I ever beat it. Halp.

Im looking for a game that I played maybe mid 90's. It's been mentioned on here before im sure but with 680 pages its not easy. You play as an alien race, one looked like blobs or ghosts the other reminded me of monkeys, they floated about rather then walked. you would collect a blue or purple resource and build on specific building plots and would at a point build a portal to the next place.

I think the aliens world had been destroyed by some testicle monster and i remember TOME being in the name

Any ideas?

Hi, I'm trying to find an old computer game that I used to play as a kid. It would have been sometime in the mid 90's.
I think the game was just something that my dad downloaded off of the internet. There was a karate or kung fu guy that stood on a pedestal in the middle of a room and balls of different colors and sizes were thrown at him from all directions and you had to use the arrow keys to punch them before they hit you. The guy started out with just wearing pants I think, then after each level you got another belt or part of the karate/kung fu uniform. I remember that in the very last level, instead of balls being thrown at you, all 9 planets were thrown at you as well as asteroids.
That would be Kung Fu Kim
Thank You ! I've been looking for it for days.

Much less sophisticated. More of a cartoon. I think the protagonist (a girl) was named iggy or izzy or something. Really quirky game.

HELLO!

I am looking for an online, turn-based, browser game. I believe I played it on Miniclip.com, yet can't seem to find it anymore. It was a wizard game, turn-based. You had turns casting spells at other players on the battlefield and if you lost your health or were bumped off the landscape, you'd lose... I hope this helps! I really want to play it again OR if anyone has any recommendations for games that don't require download, I'm open. :) Thanks
I believe this is a game called Arcanists. Unfortunately, it's more or less dead these days as the game engine is no longer supported by Google Chrome, but you can still play it on Firefox (there were 11 players online when I checked today, so you should be able to get a game going). It's possible that it will be revived in the future, however. The latest news I could find is a 7 month old reddit post by one of the developers:

"We're looking at the future of Arcanists. I can't make a commitment as to whether we're going to do it or not, but it's very possible we will do something with the game.
Basically, when we have news to share, we will do so."

I'm looking for two games that I remember playing with my cousins sometime around 2003. The games were in Russian, so I can't remember any names or storyline details. I can recall the games pretty vividly but I haven't been able to find any information about them, so it's possible that they are exclusive to Russia.

The first game is a side-scroller where you play as an anthropomorphic wolf and try to make it to the end of the level by defeating enemies. There were about 10 different levels, each one introducing new enemies. The levels I can recall are an office of some sort, a museum, a building site where you had to jump on the scaffolding, some sort of outdoor sports arena, an amusement park with a ferris wheel you could ride on and a farm. Between each level there was a loading screen that showed how the wolf progressed to the next level, one of which was a picture of a metal fence where the bars had been bent apart and another one was of a smashed window, if I remember correctly.
The enemies I can remember are rabbits that threw apples or something at you, cobras hiding in urns at the museum, robots at the building site, rabbits with boxing gloves, horses that threw sticks or javelins at you, cats that cast magic, and ordinary chickens at the farm. The final boss was a huge purple rabbit that kept pounding the ground and could possibly summon more enemies, I remember it starting out surrounded by a horse and a cat, at least.

The second game is some sort of puzzle game where you control a bunch of monkeys (chimpanzees, I believe). The game had an intro sequence that explained the story, although I couldn't understand any of it as it was in Russian. I remember a scientist being in it as well as a creepy image of a monkey with a burning head that gave me quite a few nightmares as a kid, although the latter might have been a game over screen as well. The gameplay consisted of trying to get the monkeys to use their environment to make it to a machine that I seem to recall looking like a big head or a skull. The monkeys would then punch the machine until they either broke it or fixed it, I can't remember which one.
The gameplay elements include goats that you could ride in order to jump really high, cannons that would fire you on a circus-themed level, chickens that you could throw onto buttons to deactivate force fields, black monkeys with burning heads that would try to kill you, fireworks that you could fire across the level, pools with giant fish that would swallow you and spit you out and drains that would suck you in and transport you to a different part of the level.
The game had both a single-player and a two-player mode. In the two-player mode, player 1 would control orange monkeys and player 2 would control brown monkeys.

If someone could name either or both of these games it would be much appreciated.

I?ve been looking for this game for a long time. It?s from a demo from the 90?s. A horror based game, where you can click around on things and they will move, transform and so forth. I belived it was named something like "Timmys nightmare" but I cannot find anything anywhere.

So, in the game, it?s like a story board. A voice is reading a text on the screen, so it?s kind of like a story. It?s about a boy, with red hair, who first is asleep in his bedroom, and when you continue in the game and click on it to go forawrd, you see the shadow of an alien appear in a window. The boy gets scared and tried to hide, but then, it?s like the alien is in his dreams. He is then, in his dream, running over a beach while the shadow of the ailien is comming after him. He trips, and begins to yell, and then he is awaken by his father, who is sitting next to him on the bed, telling him it was all a nightmare or something.

You could not play more than that cause it was a demo, but I think if you continue in the game, it is reviled that the ailien is real and not in the boys imagination.

This sounds almost like a Lemmings remake.
