I'm looking for a casual PC game I played about 6-8 years (I think) ago, but it might be older.
It's a side scroller game in which you play a fly that flies above a table full of stuff (fruits, vegetable, coins and one of the biggest objects is a toaster) and your aim is to pick them up and bring a total amount of them to a certain point during the time limit. The catch is that all that time there is a hand with a flyswatter that follows you and tries to kill you. By the end of every level, all the objects you managed to collect get exchanged to points, with which you can upgrade your the attributes of your fly, like speed or strength (to be able to lift bigger objects). But the highlight of the game is the same PC multiplayer, in which one of the players gets to play the fly, and the other plays the hand with the flyswatter, and by the end of each level he gets points according to the number of times he managed to kill the fly (I even remember that every kill worth 28 points lol), and like the fly, he can upgrade his attributes.
As you can see, I remember the game pretty good, so I can share more details if needed.
Yes, this game is as casual as it gets, but even as a hardcore gamer, I admit that playing it with someone is one of the most hilarious things I have ever done!
Please help me, because I've been searching for the name of this game for the last few years, and spent a lot of hours doing so...

There is a game I remember from when I was like five or six so, that makes it around 2000 or 1999. The game could have came out before that but, I just remember playing it on an old PC or Mac when I was that young. Anyways the game involves a boy solving mazes or puzzles trying to save his dog. The dog might have been kidnapped or maybe abducted by aliens and that's why your trying to save him. There were movable obstacles, but if they happened to hit the dog and it died your character would also die. The only other thing I remember about it was that it had a level/maze that involved moving a ton of balls that were either blue or purple.

My forgotten game is an old ps2 game. It was a RPG turn based strategy game. What you did was ride on a horse fighting creatures and recruiting people for your squad like thing. When you were riding on your horse it wasn't 1st person it was super zoomed out and when you ran into an enemy it would zoom into a mini square-like battlefield. Then you would take turns moving your characters around and attacking. I think you made money by killing enemies and then spent it on buying new people for your squad. I remember you could buy archers and orcs. It was a medieval time game. That's pretty much all I remember.
Thanks for the help!
It isn't one of the Kessen games is it?

Hi I've been looking for this game for ages, Ill try describe it best I can.. It was for the ps1 and you could play it 2 player co-op. You could either be Robots or the Army.
If you picked robots you got a little motor bike that you could mark peoples position with and put red flares down. And a 2 legged robot that had decent firepower that was slower than the bike.
If you picked army you got the same but both were tanks, One smaller than the other. As you went on you got bigger robots/tanks to fight with.
It used to say what DEFCON you were at but I was quite young so cant really remember what that meant.
That's literally all I can remember from it. If anyone can help I'd be massively grateful.

There's this one game that was made somewhere between the 80's and 00's, and it was a horror adventure game. The title was generic, something like Darkness, just horror sounding. It starts off with a guy and his wife going to a hotel to try to rekindle a marriage. He wakes up in the morning, shes gone, and he goes down to the dining room and sees a room filled with dead bodies, and learns from the obviously insane receptionist that here wife went into the room of a woman who eats people. He cuts open a cat for a set of keys to the door, and sees a girl in the corner of the room. Its all black and white, the color, and the girl says that, long story short, the cannibal split herself into four people from her past, so she stays alive. In order for the main character to find his wife, he has to kill them all. He kills the girl, who was the cannibal as a girl, and then kills the rest, with one really gruesome room where the one part of the cannibal has tried to kill herself lots of times, with slit wrists, pills, hanging, gas stove, and a shotgun. There's also a Nazi doctor who tries to create a zombie, a girl who follows the ghost of a pop star who the player can control, and a twist ending where the main character is apparently insane. It was 2D, by the way, and kinda a point and click. I found this game from a site where there was a pic with a fat guy in a devil costume, on a list of other scary games, that includes Scratches, Fatal Frame, and Eternal Darkness. No, it is not I Have No Mouth and I must Scream. Similar art style though, just a bit more dark and "cleaner" in terms of art. Sorry for the long post, just trying to be specific.

One game. Was an old pc game, probably early 90's. It was very plain and you basically controlled a squad of planes. The planes were all simple shapes (like desktop defender), and it was done from a birds-eye view.

Hi guys!
I am looking for 10-15 years old 3D game. I got it on a CD with a bunch of other stuff in a computer magazine. A game is about a fox (or a squirrel) who is running through a forest. I think the fox was collecting diamonds or something like that. I remember a lot of timbers (used like bridges) and wooden boxes (that the fox used to break).
Thanks in advance!

Hi, i used to have a game several years ago with a bald druid (or alchemist); I don't remember if it was in dos.. it was a 2d game in which you had this character and some alchemic ingredients to bring with you in every maps... each of them helped to summon a different creature by your side (like gnomes, unicorns, towers of defence, fauns, and so on...)
and almost always in each map you had to defeat another summoner or reach someplace, by finding mana places and avoiding your enemies traps or creatures...


I don't remember the name, but I think it had a "magic" in its title...

Hiq guys! This will be difficult one. The first reason is that I'm not good with English. I live in an european state. The second reason is that I remember very little about this two games. Even I have not played them. However, I'll do my best to describe them.

This was at least 20 years ago. Both games are definitely on NES.

1. First game is sidescroller. Gameplay is similar to Mario, but it's not any mario game. I dont remember that the character had a weapon or something. The goal is to run and jump through the level and collect bags with $ sign. Under some circumstances you may have a motorbike. With motorbike you are much faster and break through the blocks. I think you can lose the bike or die if you hit some harder objects. Maybe the end of the level you can buy items, I'm not sure.

What I surely remember is that there was something like bosses, that you have to beat on rock-paper-scissors game at least two times to proceed.

2. The second game is also sidescroller. Youre character has an energy bar, I think. You are a robot or armored guy or something similar with a short laser gun and you move always left or always right depending on the level. You are in a building with many floors. Each floor is a level. You can proceed through the levels with an elevator, but in the beginnig most floors are locked. You have to beat a strange enemies, aliens perhaps. I remember one kind of enemies that appears surprisingly from the floor with this sharp claws. Also you have to buy or collect more powerful weapons to beat the highest levels or you are doomed.

One of the weapons was called "light gun". One of the floors is pitch black and you have to shoot with that gun to give some light for a very short period of time, so to proceed, you have to shoot constantly.
In the game there is no graphic noticeable differences when you hold a different gun. This is confusing because you must choose the weapons from a separate menu, and because in some cases you have to go back to previous levels where you have to use a Light Gun, if forget it active, you may die on higher level.

So thats it... Thanks!

Hey guys anyone know this game (I think it was ps1)

Basically you control a ball (beach ball I think) and you are up in the air on a block shaped kind of like a tetris block.

The game was in 3d and you could fall off of the block in the air and die

Thanks

So maybe someone can help me figure out what game this is. It was on pc i played it in the early-mid 90's. you play as three gnomes (pointy hats) switching between them to complete puzzles. it was a sidescroller with a sort of ominous fantasy vibe, despite being a very light comical game. any help would be appreciated

Hey everyone =) I have two games that I need help identifying! They are older computer games that my dad put on my computer when I was really little. I THINK they are DOS games, I use to play them on my Tandy computer in the early 90s (lol, yeah, a Tandy computer). He is the only person that would know what they are but he passed away so I can't ask him, grrr! >.< hehe

First game: Early 90's, first person shooter, you play a guy running around a scientist's lab or something (big place). There's good and bad scientists, and aliens you kill. You collect access cards to go through different doors I think but I'm not sure. I just remember access cards. You have to kill the main scientist. -it looks kinda similar to Wolfenstein 3d

Second game (a LOT more vague, sorry): early 90's, DOS game I believe. Played it on my Tandy lol. You play this old man I believe, could be a wizard. I think he is bald...may have a beard but not sure. I remember one part in the beginning i'm in a castle's ruins collecting gems or jewels or something. I THINK the guy you play as is wearing a robe or a cloak but not sure (could be blue or purple?). Also the screen view is looking down...not side scroller.

Help please! This is driving me crazy! Thanks!
