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

[Mihai Corocaescu]

Hello! I am looking for a quite low tech 2D PC game. In this game, you could choose from a list of characters, humans and animals, and the objective was to try avoiding the predators that were on the board. I think the board was similar to a checkers one, but green and it tended to look like a forest, sort of like a maze. I used to play this game in the early 2000s, but it's probably a lot more older. If I'm not wrong, I think there were some fruit pickups as well, apples I believe(?), and it was a progressive game: when you finally reached the end of the first board or level, you could proceed to the next one. Thanks in advance, the description might be ambiguous, but it's all I can remember now. Cheers!

Nevermind guys, I found it . The characters didn't actually involve humans tho, just three difficulties of animals (for beginner, intermediate and advanced) and some different levels, although I played only the forest one. This game I played was Animal Quest (1991) for MS-DOS, if anyone was wondering.

My brother and I have struggled for years to remember the name of a game we played when we were younger.
We played multiplayer on the PC, but we often downloaded emulators and played games, so that may mean nothing.

If I had to guess a time period where we played it, I would say sometime between 2000-2008.

The game itself had the option of choosing non-customized characters such as witch, archer, hunter, and I think one more. I remember it being sort of a level-clearing game. You could level up the character, and in fact needed to to defeat high-leveled monsters on certain levels (these high levels often consisted of dragons, whether fire, ice, or electric). Dungeon-like maps, but there were some areas that were outside. Could be played single player or multiplayer.


There's separate game that I remember from around the same time. This one is more vague. I sort-of-kind-of remember the main character waking up in a dungeon, and having to escape... then having to travel the world in order to succeed in idon'tevenknowwhat. In my mind I see it being an open-world concept, as I see the character traveling through fields, and ravines, sometimes a desert-like place. Graphics were somewhat decent for the time that it was created.
fight style similar to Zelda, I'm almost positive it was NOT turn-based battling (AKA, definitely NOT a FF game).

Thanks in advance!

Ok this is my last hope. Been looking for this game for a few months now.
There was this game i used to play around 2000 and 2006( possibly earlier). I remember playing it on PC. it was a strategy game/rpg. With a bird eye view, it was just enough to see the character and their surroundings. I remember that my character was a female. or at least the cover of the disk had a female on it.
I believe that at the beginning of the game you had to fight this group of soldiers/ enemies before you started the actual game. From what i can remember if was some kind of magic/ swords and stuff based game. There were some kind of dungeons you could go in to. I believe that you could also buy and equip gear and also do quests for the NPC's.

I know this is not much but any thing helps.

Thank you

Found the game I was looking for. It was called Larkinor.

Hi Everybody

I need your help i'm trying to find an old game aswell but dont know the name of it!

It was an asian themed building game or something you could plant rice for food and build stuff but also you got to fight off enemies.
It had somekind of Torchlight style from the camera perspective and the character design but also you could drag your people to assign them to attack or build just like Age of Empires but in a better 3D graphic. Also it was kinda gory too.

Does anyone have an idea what game i'm talking about? please help

Sorry for my bad english by the way

I want to look for a CD that has more than the following,

I remember it was for Windows 95 or 98 and it was a demo disc with "1000 games" in the title
examples were
-Zombie Tower
-Exile
-Bad Toys
-Age of Empires
I can vaguely remember a few other games but not the title.

Hey guys!

I'm looking for a racing game. Before you say something, I've googled and it's not Twisted Metal.

It's a PlayStation 1 game, can't remember the launch. I remember racing with cars or vehicles. I remember catching "powers" like in Mario Kart, like tornado/twister and things like that that you could throw to your enemies. It was a fun game to play with friends. I remember it has a lot of shortcuts too in it's circuits.

Hope you can help me!

Thank you!

It could be Speed Freaks.

As for mine. A browser based game. I thought it was named after the character you play as, a frog called Ric O'Shea (ricochet). You had to hit targets by bouncing your bullets off the walls.
I've searched previously to no avail.

 

[TropicNaive]

Hey I'm looking for a game and this is going to sound very vague and not really accurate because i played it when i was about 7

Its a RPG fantasy i think it was turn based for fights but near the beginning of the story you would knock over a brazier and find a scared flame who speaks and becomes your companion/sidekick and helps you fight.

It was i think a top down or like a tilted 3rd person. You played as a girl i think and it may have been pixelated.

not really sure but i really hope you people can help me because my mom and i have been trying to figure it out.

It was a game played off of a disc i think. It was made before 2006

Heyo everyone. Today I'm posting this since after looking in all my house and internet, I still haven't found what was the game I played when I was a kid after almost 10 years. I should have played it before 2006 since after I was on Warcraft III.
So :
1. It could be anything before 2006
2. It is a PC (RPG/Adventure?) Game in a Medieval setting
3. I remember seeing and hearing rain
4. There is forest
5. You control 1 character, I never finished it but I doubt others characters would join us
6. There is some place I remember which contained : Torch, Tomb, Skeletons, Gold on the ground from the killed skeletons, and my character. I believe there was some others monsters like animals
7. I forgot if there was any interface on the screen or not but if it have then not too much
8. My character had a sword
9. It look like Diablo/Holyspirit gameplay from what I saw
10. I'm not sure at all but I think there was a blocked path with a tower/castle near, something in stone
11. I have no idea how the game looked like at start.
12. Searched between 1990/2006 in this site https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_chronologique_de_jeux_vid%C3%A9o_de_r%C3%B4le

In others word :
Old PC Rpg/Adventure games before 2006 that contains Skeletons, Torch, Forest, Collectible gold on ground, Sword, 1 playable characters

It is possible that some points are wrong since I can only remember 2 images in my heads and vaguely how it looked like.

My game wasn't a platform game

 

[Dinocornate]

New to this thread and there is a lot to go through, so if I repeat the game I'm sorry.

This game starts out with a cutscene of a boy with a weird tuft of hair and a really round head being spoken to by his mother, then he is sucked into something (I think it's a toy chest?) and he falls onto a platform. This is where the game starts. The entire play screen is on the screen. The gameplay is almost Burger Time-esque in the regard that you are going up and down platforms while avoiding enemies. The only other thing I remember is that I'm pretty sure the name of the game is just the name of the kid.

 

[Pochila]

1. early 2000 probably not more than 2005
2. cyberpunk / scifi point and click adventure that looked a lot like the blade runner game, but brighter, lots of blues. I think the main char was bald.
3. there was a walkthrough of it on youtube and I'm pretty damn sure I found a demo for it on a website archive but it might have been a fever dream... the demo didnt start at the same spot as the main game.

FOUND IT! called nightlong btw

Hi, this one is somewhat of a tough one and I've been looking for it for years. All I can remember is it was a DOS game and there were multiple alien races you were competing with for, I assume rule of the galaxy, and I remember playing as a human (only option maybe?) and you were in a room with a doorway behind you looking out toward a city as you stood at a round dome topped table. The best recollection I have was there was technologies that you could research, and one of the random events was to find some alien technology and you could then research it to figure out what it was. The other aliens would try and ask you to let them take it as they were more advanced than you. The technology screen looked like Cd-Rom drives and there as a giant panel of them, kind of like a tech tree but the "tree" was more like a giant rectangle filled with Cd-Rom drives that you could select each one to pick the next research. Thanks for any ideas!

Sounds a lot like game I used to play, called Reunion.

Wonderful! That is it! Thank you so much.

So... I got 2 to remember.

There was an old ps1 side scrolling... or vertical shooter game. I remember 1st level was on some city at night, 2nd on some snowy area. You can collect crystals, press O to drop bombs, there was differect projectiles, 2 or 5 red circles, 1 single blue, one line lazer... and there was mobs that look like flies. You can collect some stuff that you can trigger to explode entire map, that... all I can remember I guess.

And the 2nd one I got on the same disk with medievil. I think It wasn't the horror game, more like platformer, but it was really disturbing, really dark. Protagonist is some grey dude with mask on his face, 1st level was in some area that look like sewerage. The first enemy to encounter was humanoid without the lower part of body... walking on arms, and it was swiping his pointed end like he was trying to sting me. And there was another enemies that look like giant wasps.

Thank you

Do you remember if it was a realistic game like Carmageddon, or a more cartoonish game like Motor Toon Grad Prix? Either of those could be it, but knowing which one is closer would help.

Vigilante 8? Tyco racing? Thunder tanks? Ot it was racing was as default? You can check some there http://www.giantbomb.com/twisted-metal/3030-12318/similar-games/

 

[mrasky]

A steampunk game with isometric view, possibly published somewhere in the late 90s. Very much like arcanum, but not it. I remember that there was a town made of steel, the town had many floors and didnt have a roof or walls (just houses on each floor). If you went west from the town you come to a mountainy area with monsters. Im not sure if the game was turnbased and also if i remember correctly the atmosphere wasnt as dark and evil as arcanum/diablo.

 

[yarintop]

I've got three old games that I looked everywhere and this is my only hope...

1. You play as a ghost in a side scrolling 2D world and there are 13 (I think) worlds, as a ghost you could jump on enemies' heads and press the down key and you would transform into them and then you could use their abilities.

2. You play as a ball that hits walls and he can only break walls with the same color as him, he can also change colors (I don't really remember but I think he needs to touch certain walls to change colors)

3. You play as a samurai in a 3D world and you fights hordes of enemies, I remember that he could use a straw and spitballs as an attack.

thank you very much for your help
