I am looking for an old PC game but it was in 3D. As I recall was, you ran a car, tank, a vehicle that could turn into a ship, plane. The goal was to save the maximum of people on a planet.
I remember that the initial phase was a desert planet had some constructions and the ground was brown.
If someone achieve something similar.
Thank you :)

I'm trying to remember the name of a PC game from the mid/late '90s or maybe early 2000s. It was a medieval fantasy city building game in a Dungeons & Dragons style setting. You started with a small town and had to hire adventurers to keep the town safe from local monsters, but you didn't have any control over the adventurers themselves, you could only offer bounties on monsters or on places to explore. The goal was to build the biggest city possible, which you do by sending adventurers off to loot ruins and bring back treasure, which allowed you to build things like mage towers and potion shops that would let the adventurers fight tougher monsters, until eventually you had a large prosperous city and were sending adventurers off to fight dragons and such. It was played in real time, with monsters and adventurers moving around the map constantly, and you had no control over the fights.

I want to say this is a Dungeons & Dragons game, but going through a list of official games, I can't find anything similar. It wasn't Stronghold ('93 or '01). It was not a 3D game, it was all 2D sprites, overhead but with a slightly isometric view. It was zoomed out, like you were looking at whole region with mountains and forests. Graphically, the closest thing I can think of to it is Temple of Elemental Evil, but 2D sprites and zoomed way out, and the adventurers and monsters are bigger than the terrain features.

This ringing any bells?
The town building and indirect controlling of heroes almost always points to "Majesty" (2001).

Woohoo I found the game, after searching many sites for an image that resembled my reminder, today finally found the game that much wanted to remember "SCORCHED PLANET"
Thank you all :)

there was a really old game i played about 13 or so years back on the origional xbox. rented it from blockbuster or something, all i remember from it is you seemed to be some sort of general or officer in a Chinese or Japanese army, and you had 2 guys who followed you around as bodyguards. one of the mission was one where your army was attacking or defending a village of some type and suddenly ghost soldiers popped up and continuously spawned out of a gate and it was apparently causing a lot of issues for your side so you had to go destroy the gates so they'd stop coming. i know this is vague but if someone can find out what this is you'd have settled something thats been bothering me for years

I'm hoping someone will be able to tell me the name of a game I played as a kid. I remember some of it but not in great detail the way I do with Doom and Caesar III. It involved moving through a town. The view was first person and it was a PC game. There were numerous buildings such as guilds and possibly a tavern. There was also a map in the game manual that showed the layout of the town with each building numbered and a legend that told what each of those buildings were. I played it in the mid to late 90's though I'm not sure if that's when it was released. I think it was 2D. There was a quest aspect but I can't remember any specifics. Obviously it didn't make as much of an impression on me as the other games I played but I would still like to know what the name of that game was. If anyone can help it would be appreciated.
Bit of a wild guess here, but the bit about the town maps on the manual reminds me of the Might & Magic [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Might_and_Magic] games.
I took a look. Not the game. Thanks for trying though. Also I'm not positive about the quest aspect. I think it was closer to an adventure game as opposed to RPG as there was definitely only one character to play and there was a small status bar (or possibly not one at all) as I remember the screen being taken up by the view of what the character was seeing of the town. I don't remember there being a magical or supernatural aspect to it. Thanks again.

Okay so I have a challenge for you. When I was younger, there was a game where you could play as I think 1 of three different animals. I know for sure you could play as a bear. I think also a dog maybe? anyways I can't remember much of the game except you start out in a small town of animals and your goal is to unlock the rest of the world and explore as well as do quests for other animals. I remember the first part you unlock you need to get the key to the city, then you can go to the castle I think. there's also a beach at some point as well as mountains which are both connected through a bigger town than the one you start out in I think. It's a 2D game and I pretty positive it was a plug and play game cause at the time of playing it the only game systems I owned were N64 or older Nintendo games and I know it was not on one of those. It was a kids game and that's all I remember. I know this is super vague but it's killing me not being able to remember what this game is. I know it's a real game 'cause my sister used to play it with me. OH, it also came out in the early 00's I believe if that helps any.

Hello guys, this will be hard!
It's not exactly a game per se but more like a nowadays visual novel/video.
It contains sexual stuff so if this offends you don't read further.
If I remember correctly I saw that 10or so years ago.

There's this girl in hell, sexy as well.. hell..
Satan tries to have his way with her but two ugly, tiny angels fly down from Heaven (I suppose) and go down on the girl.
As Satan watches their tiny angel butts they 3 (the angels and the girl) fly towards Heaven.
(there's some other stuff going on too but I guess it's enough to remember this thing)

Hi there,

This one will be hard.

Game played at least 15 years ago. Similar to Monopoly, uses red car as token, 3 dices, somewhat squarish green map with only 1 way of travelling on it.
Special part is the set properties can go up to 6/set different from Monopoly's 2 or 3/set.

If anyone remember what this game please let me know.

Hello, i need your help. i have been searching for this game for a very long time!

My brother used to play it around 1995
It's a point and click. Very dark atmosphere but not horror.
The first scene begin with the protagonist in an (his maybe) apartement and i think a ninja arrive or something and in order to continue you have to throw in the air a coin.
You have 1 remaining coin during all the game and you finish the game by throwing the remaining coin ( and maybe their is the ninja in white who appears at this time, not sure)

The other thing i remember is a scene with clowns in a carnival, and at some point in the game you are in a gigantic table between two wine glasses ( bigger than you).

That's it... i hope someone knows.
Sorry for my english not my first language :D
Any idea guys? Please!

Hi everyone, I'm new to this thread. I came across because, I've got a game in mind that I need help knowing what it is.

I'd like to point out, I'm 21 years old. 1995. My memory is sorta crushed..
(Hope I can say my age, as It's nothing serious.. It just gives you a date of how old the game might be.)

It was a Looney Tunes floppy disk game. I played it on a Windows 95 Gateway Computer. The floppy disk was blue with the looney tunes logo on it. I remember playing as bugs bunny, and I believe the graphics where 3D. I played the game roughly around 2002. That's about all the information I know.

If anything, Just provide me all the looney tunes floppy disk games there was, and I will look at each one.

EDIT:
It was Not "The Bugs Bunny Hare-Brained Adventure"

Wait a second.. I think It was actually a CD-ROM.. It had to be a floppy disk though, because I remember putting a floppy disk in. I'm sorta focusing on maybe it was the game "Bugs Bunny lost in time" came out 1999. I do remember collecting Carrots. I think this was the game, I just only remember the brownish scenery biome. Not the beginning or even the whole game rather.. just one specific part. Oh childhood memories.

Thanks!

I was wondering if anyone will know what game I'm talking about because I want to know what is it so badly, it was with you playing and fighting in a castle and such with skeletons and I think zombies too. Other things were you had to collect different colored keys to be able to open certain colored doors. I'm pretty sure it was a 00s game but it could have been from 90s, it was on the PC and I guess you could describe it as a hack slash game.It wasn't a fps or tps or a top down. It was more of a adventure type game that was trying to look 3d for that time but was 2d.
Anyone else that would like to take a swing at it? Please :p
Hmm... castle and skeletons. Stonekeep, maybe? But that one is from the mid 90s and doesn't really fit with everything you've described.

I know this is a long shot, because i remember very little about this game. Here goes, i remeber playing this game on pc around the late 90's, maybe very early 00's. You play as this guy in a red shirt with a hat. Kinda looked like a farmer or something. You have a shot gun and you have to go into this house. In the house i think you have to kill zombies (i also kinda rember having to kill spiders). I believe it was 2d, and you climed up stairs to different parts of the house. You may have had to go through different doors. Its so frustrating because i keep tring to google it, and for the life of me cannot find it. Please help.
Sounds like Dangerous Dave in Haunted Mansion [http://apikabu.ru/img_n/2012-10_6/cb6.jpg]

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 (Earth maybe), and it's in a cartoonish stlye, like the ScummVM, Lucasarts, Sierra 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.
- The graphics are very similar to Beneath a Steel Sky and Space Quest.
Any help would be great :)

(this game bugs me for years, and posted it on many sites, without any success :( )

Hi,

Looking for the name of a game. Only played the demo late 90's early 20's.

What I remember from it:
RTS game for PC
Humans vs Aliens
You could build structures, and units could go into them. Units would be built and upgraded inside them.
One unit was a frogman, there was another with a gun on his shoulder.

Any ideas?

I also have two flash games that I need help identifying.

The first is more directed at a younger audience. But I've always been a child at heart, really. Okay. So the gist of the game is you're a guy whose hot air balloon crashed landed on a mysterious island. But it's not like a deserted island with no one there. It's like a primitive civilization where people have built a community. So like, at first, you're desperate to get off the island. You're desperate to repair your hot air balloon so you can leave. But you don't have any tools or resources to do so. You talk to the locals and they keep telling you, "Why would you want to leave here? It's great! We love it." Not like in the creepy horror movie way, but in a way that makes you realize they enjoy living there. So to get the supplies, you explore the island. But you don't do it alone. You get this pet that's like a local creature or something. Kinda looks like a Nidoran. I want to say its name is "Tarsal". But it's like Pokemon. You need the pets to do certain things for you. Like you can charm other animals to get certain supplies or breed them with other creatures to get new pets. You can also expand the different types of pets by exploring the island and taming them in the wild. Like one is called something like a "beep-boop" and it looks like a robot. So essentially, it's like an open area exploration point-and-click adventure where you help people and gather supplies. Kinda like a fusion of Pokemon and Minecraft. The animation isn't super detailed, but it's fairly decent. I mean kinda toony, but it looks pretty vivid. I also remember a few lines from the game. They're along these lines. (Each dialogue is separated by a blank line between them)

Local Guy: "I need you to do something for me. You and that little runt should be able to get it done"
Your character: "My little tarsal is not a runt!"

Different Local Guy: "I need some *insert resource name* and you can only get that from charming other animals"

Local Woman: "Do you think *insert man who she's dating name* will ever want to just retire and settle down."

Man She's Dating: "Oh man. She considers our anniversary from the time we first met, not when we first kissed? { Could be the other way around} Here. Take her this *insert pastry name here* and tell her I'm sorry."

Local Boy: "Can you bring me some *insert object name*? They won't let me play with bugs anymore."


The second game is a fantasy RPG. It's kinda like a mix of Fire Emblem & Final Fantasy. You start out in the wilderness as a girl with purple hair. Your starting equipment is ratty clothes and a stick. But after you win a few fights you get real equipment like a sword and armor. I think the first enemies you fight are rats in the wild. Anyway, later you have a party. Like a few teammates. I don't remember many of them besides the girl with purple hair. But I do remember, one of your teammates is a male soldier and another is a female vampire. One of their character descriptions includes something like. "*Insert male soldier's name* is the husband of *insert female vampire's name*. She tricked him into marrying her, but his loyalty to marriage is stronger than his desire for control." And it's like, I want to say one of your party members is a prince I think and at one point you meet with his parents and you talk about finding some kind of sacred place in the sky. Like a castle or a kingdom or something. And the king is like, "You shouldn't go there." but the queen responds, "Oh let them try to find it. We have been there once. During *insert time period around their wedding* after all." The animation is like old school. We're talking like Link to the Past level animation. just moving sprites made of x amount of pixels. But it seemed cool.

Anyway, if anyone can help me with identifying these I would be extremely grateful. And I don't just post this because I want to just gather dust with no one even acknowledging it. I've been on forums where no one helps me or even acknowledges what I post and it sucks. I came here because I actually need help. The members here seem to be pretty diverse in video games. Not like fake experts who can't answer simple questions. I really believe someone here can help me. So if you are able to identify these games, please send me a message as soon as you can. I would really appreciate the help.

It is a PC game, I think you can use the mouse. Anyone?
