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

[KaiYLowell]

So i have two games that i am trying to remember. These are games that i watched my older brother play back on our windows 98 computer back in 1999-2001, and im pretty sure the games were made around those years, if not a little before. Thanks to anyone who has any ideas.
So the first game i forgot the name of is a puzzle game. The goal of the game is to guide these little fuzzy creatures through dangerous obstacles to get to their mother, who is a bigger fuzzy creature. When playing, the screen is laid out in a grid, with varying number of fuzzballs and all other deadly obstacles taking up on square's worth of grid space. Im pretty sure this game was mainly played with the mouse, and im pretty sure it was in realtime as well. The fuzzy creatures appearance was very similar to that of the Protopet in Ratchet & Clank 2, that is, if the protopet was drawn as a 2d sprite. The creatures only made cute little noises when they moved or died. i believe the creatures where all mainly blueish colored, and maybe purple too. The last thing i remember is that the NAME of the game was also the name of the creature, and im pretty sure it was a one or 2 syllable word that sounded like "Zeem" or "Zorb", or maybe something like "Zoople." The name was something funky but cute. Mind you, these were in the days that we would just go on the internet and go download dozens of demos of pc games from all sorts of websites.

The NEXT game i need help remembering is a 2d top down shooter. Im pretty sure this game was a sort of Indie game, meaning that it probably was never sold as a physical disk. This game was sort of similar to a series of flash games called, "boxhead" "Endless war," and you played as a redhead woman, a sort of Commando, "rock n roll" "Girl with a gun" sort of character. The gameplay consisted of you moving the girl around the screen with the arrow keys and firing your gun in whatever position the girl was facing, and you would shoot at a bunch of soldier enemies as they flooded on screen. The "Bullets" that you shot were just little yellow balls that didnt travel that fast, and the different guns would shoot either faster, or had a spread to them. The Gameplay also reminds me of "Ys" if it had guns. I know the game was very bloody and violent, and i also remember that after you killed all the enemies, you would fight a boss, and that boss always seemed to be a big helicopter. Another thing about the game, there were little animated slideshow "cutscenes" between levels, and i think the "story" was like, "This army is coming to attack somewhere, i better defend myself," but a really REALLY specific thing i remember about the FIRST story scene BEFORE the first level is that the woman said some line along the lines of, "Damn, they're here, and they didnt even let me finish eating my sandwhich." Another thing i remember is that the menu would just show a more clear sort of 2d drawing of the woman character that you played as, and there was an option or some cheat that would show her all bloody and beat up from battle, or just nude. I guess you could also compare it VERY SLIGHTLY to something like "Hotline Miami"

THANKS TO ANYONE WHO HAS ANY IDEA WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT, THIS HAS BEEN BUGGIN ME FOR YEARS!!!

Is the first one perhaps Chuzzle Deluxe? I love that one.

Hello everyone! You might be my only chance of ever getting to play that game again!
I will try to describe it as precise as possible:

It's a really old game for PC and I'm sure it's a point n click game. It has a cartoonish style for graphics and looks like a kids game but it has some disturbing images here n there. The main characters are, I think dogs (?) but I really can't remember. Though I can remember the ending of the game.
You are on an airplane. The pilot gets killed and you have to whipe blood from a letter to pass the level or the plane crashes (sounds so strange). Next you are in front of a volcano and a river of lava. To cross it you have to hop on stones at the perfect time.

I am really desperate right now, so If someone was able to figure out what the title of the game is, I'd make me the happiest person in the f**** universe!

Thank you

Hi everyone, I have three games that I'm trying to find.

First one is a FPS. I remember you can do practise before starting the campaign and during practise you can shoot at panes of glass and come to a bullet proof sheet that you can destroy with a launcher. When you start the campaign I think there's a scientist in a computer lab and something comes through the screen and kills him. You walk down a corridor and are faced with the first enemy (can't remember what it is though).

Second game is a FPS as well. Sort of a country/western theme I think. I don't remember a lot about it but I remember you come to a farm and can shoot a farmer and only his legs remain (when using a shotgun I think, and on a different gameplay setting, like 18+ rating or a different difficulty etc.

Third is a strategy game. you're some sort of geometric object I think (can't remember for sure) and you pass over coloured tiles and they disappear according to the colours. (blue is one pass, red you can go over twice green three times etc.)

All were played on windows I'm sure and probably out around mid-late 90's I'm thinking. I've been looking for these for years so all help is appreciated.

Thanks.

The first one reminds me of Half-Life, but I don't know why... hope I could help
Thanks.

Hi everyone I really need your help with this game that has been driving me crazy.

It?s and old pc game I played when I was a kid. I was born in 1993 and I was around 7-8 years old when I played it, and the game wasn?t an 8-bit game or something like that it had better graphics and it wasn?t that old in that time, so the game is from the end of the 90?s or from the beginning of the new century. It was a racing game and the things I remember is that there was a car that looked very hippie if you need any reference look for the Mystery Machine from the Scooby Doo cartoon. Also there was this track where in the borders of the road a carnivore plant would eat you, chew you and then you would respawn. The game isn?t from any famous franchise as I haven?t found anything about it.

This game brings a lot of happy memories and I would be very happy to at least see a YouTube video of the game.

This is a single-player game online where you fight prisoners and other corrupt people, i.e. a mad scientist. You have two paramedics helping you fight. When you win, some opponents will leave you some pieces of armor. You can either wear it, or sell it. Weapons include some kind of beams, as well as realistic weapons like a crowbar or guns. I don't know if I'm explaining this well. Whenever it's your turn a large circle appears with smaller bubbles surrounding it with options of what you can do. Some are always available while others have a recharge time.

Another game from the mid-late 90's, I remember getting a CD with a bunch of demo games to play. My favorite was this on-rails game where you were in a spaceship and had to complete these track courses. They would get more difficult as you went further down the track, and you would have to be quick about moving to the next side and avoiding the gaps.

Sounds like either SkyRoads, SkyRoads Xmas Special, or Kosmonaut, all from Bluemoon Interactive.

SkyRoads was it! Thank you!

I've been trying to find this one game for years that I played maybe 10 or so years ago. The only name that I can remember from the game starting up is "Britannica 1400," or something like that. Any searches I've conducted with that name though, took me absolutely no where. However, what I remember from the game that it was very old-timey like even our grandparents didn't dress like them. You got to basically choose if you wanted to be a man or a woman, and your own name....along wiYou wereth a family and what-not. You were able to own your own shops or businesses. If there was ever an issue between you and someone else in the town, you guys could either to go to court or have a duel. That's about all that I can remember. If anyone could help that would be great.

Was it... Wild West World by Software 2000?

I wish, but no, it isn't. Thanks though.

Hey there, I am looking for a game that is neither really old nor have I played it, but there was an epic game trailer thats still on my mind but I dont remember the name. I think the game was published between 2007 and 2012. In the trailer there was a man with long bright hair carrying a golden swordlike thing that was related to time. It was at night and he went over a bridge and hit the sword into the floor in front of a cathedral. There was also a battle scene including magic, summoning and close combat elements. Im pretty sure the man with the timesword is a villain and the trailer itself seemed like a cinematic trailer to me. The graphic was 3D, the character animation similiar to the latest final fantasy games (realistic animated anime characters). The genre should be some action-rpg-fantasy-mix.I think the game is for players at least older than 16 years. If anyone knows what I might be talking about please help me!

There was an old Amiga game, a side-scroll action game in a fantasy setting with a pretty memorable intro. It first shows the studio logo over a black background, a fanfare sounds, followed with sounds of sword fighting and people grunting and groaning. The fighting stops, another a fanfare happens, the studio name finally disappears and the screen changes to the image of a warrior with a sword, standing victorious near a pile of defeated adversaries. Then a mage appears flying, shoots some magic spell in the form of a lighting, the warrior gets shrunk and... everyone in the pile starts to laugh! The now shrunk warrior turns towards them and shake his fist. He turns around, a gnome/dwarf of his same size appears, throws a rock at him, mocks him, and runs away. The warrior goes after him, while the pile of bodies keeps laughing until the game title appears (all this with an epic music background).

Why can I remember every detail except for the freaking game title!? Does somebody know which game was it?

 

[hikemint24]

Honestly don't know how to identify this game ughh
Believe I played it around early 00's, but the graphics were 90's style. The overall tone for the game was dark, like really blend and shawdowy, kind of like Tomb Raider 2, but no gore as I remember. Played it on a old internet cafe computer, other games on the computer includes Raiden II, Tomb Raider 2, Megaman X4, Megaman X5, Age of Empire 2 and the like. Don't think this game is popular as I literally found it accidentally in some subfolders back then. I'd describe it as medieval themed because of the village, windmill, and architecture style, but really just old European town feel. I remember seeing somewhere a stone mask/ Gorgon on wall. Think there were weapons involved so maybe some hacking/slashing, though the main reason I enjoyed it was because of the exploring/ puzzle aspect, like looking for contraptions and clues.

I know all this is really vague and obscured, but if anyone can help out I would really appreciate it. Thanks magicians.

I've been looking for this game all day, and i found this thread, hopefully it helps. Its like this online game i played back in 2009 or 2010 about mini creatures, like nanobots or nanomonsters, where you collect them, breed them, train them and battle them against others. I think the game stopped running after a while for whatver reasons but im not sure if it came back cause i saw ads about it once.

no it isnt , but thanks though, it was a pretty good guess.

 

[Elboy522]

No, its not Chuzzle either, it was more of a puzzle game where you click to tell the little creatures where to go rather than a bust a move clone, though the creatures Do look similar!
