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

[fadel]

There's a game I'd like to know the name of. It was an old puzzle game, probably 95-2000. You started on a ship and solved the puzzle to get off the ship. It was a point and click game.

Really appreciate any help, been looking for it for over a year now.

It's me again I search a platform computer game ( from more or less the same time like previous game and on PC's platform too. You've controled a some knight/soldier. Scenery was what I remember the center of the castle, but there were dungeons or basement (I saw some bars). I don't remember opponents and the rest. I've founded something like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=834JpOUcMzk, but computer game what I mean is newer production probably and this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DaKY87e6j04, but not yet it is. Still close

I've meant years 1997-1998, because second game on computer disk was GTA 1 (many websites about old computer games classified it as action or arcade type). So except two games which I gave you, I've found next similar:
3. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dIwiJy4o6Y0

5. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_v8nBMSjsc
6. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A2R4TV2loGs (this is most similar, even year of production is nearing)

Hello guys, I would really be happy if anyone could help me with name of the game I really doesn remember, I do not even remember mutch from the game but here you go:

It is 2d game from above like old gta, you are some gun man and you have to shoot everyone in room and get out, the are just about 3/4 levels. One level is in some kind of nuclear room, and the switch have been turned on and nuclear waste is killing you so you need to get out before time runs out. And then there is final boss. At the end of the game you get like about 3 cheat codes you can activate and play that game again... I hope that you recognise the game...

This was a PC game late 80's early 90's. I believe it was MS-DOS. You would go around different cities and get rid of the different street gangs there. In between levels I believe they would show like a newspaper with the next city you would go too. I remember Chicago and Milwaukee being some of the cities and maybe Oakland.

I also remember that you were really small, and there was a level where you made something that was supposed to make you bigger. There was also a wizard helping I think.

Hello all,
when i was in second grade in 2007, we would play this side scrolling, pixelated game in the library. I think it was about a wizard because in the beggining, you would start near a tree and if you were good enough you could get a wand on top of the tree, and then you would go under the tree through a door. then there was a part later on where you would fall through a door into this room filled with lava and you would have to climb onto the rapidly degrading blocks to get to the next door. it was on a MAC, and if anyone could help, that would be great.

Hey guys!
So I've been trying to find this game for AGES, and I fear that if I don't find it here, I might as well give up. If I remember correctly, the main player is this girl who lives in a village. Her village has feasts and things that you can make her attend. However, near some caves (I think they made you go there), she gets kidnapped and taken far away from her home. The objective was something like reading maps and meeting people that could get her back home to find the men that had kidnapped her. Thanks in advance!

Ok, I've been searching for this game for over 10 years.

I don't remember much about it, but what I do remember is that it's a pc top down, horror? game.
Where you play in scenes like, a castle, a graveyard maze, and a cave system, where you fight zombies, skeletons, spiders, and these bigger monsters known simply as... super zombies, and super spiders, and ext. There are also power ups so you can take down the monsters easier or faster, like a weapon that, I think it's a hammer of some kind, I could be wrong, but what I do remember is that it bounced off the walls and on the first bounce splits in two.

Please help me end my decade long search.

Hello, I have been looking for old JRPG multiplayer games, with only 4 characters, 1 swordsman, 1 female with guns (not sure), 1 female riding green robot, and 1 male robot (or male wearing knight armor).

We can choose the characters above, and we just play with 1 character or 2 if multiplayer, defeating many enemies, by going only to the right (I think).

I can't remember the title, but I remembered it was english version with Japanese opening song and Japanese voices and I think I played it on playstation 1.
Once I remembered from the opening scene was the robot protecting a flower.

Thank you so much !

 

[QueenMaggs]

Okay, y'all. I've got a couple PC games from my childhood I can't quite put my finger on - this would be late 90's/early 2000s.

1) You were in, like , a jungle? It was a toy shop, I think, and all the activities had to do with making toys. One that I remember the most involved decorating these little doll houses, and the dolls were little hippos. I think another activity involved monkeys.

2) It was a railroad, and I believe the conductor was a cartoon raccoon. Each stop on the railroad was a different letter of the alphabet, with a bunch of activities related to the letter. One was a little game where you built a house out of different materials. Some of the stops also had songs that had to do with that stop's letter. My mom swears up and down that this was a Jumpstart game, but 'be pretty much scoured their wiki and couldn't find it.

3) I can almost put my tongue on the name of this one - it was something like "Mathtopia" or "Mathopolis," I think. There were different math-related activities, including a tug of war game, a rocket launch, and something with marquee signs on the side of a building.

Any help would be appreciated!

I have gamee which title I don't rememeber and I hope somone can help me with it but unfortunately I don't remember much details about it. This game for sure had PC Version and it has early 3D graphics. I remember one level that happened in some kind of medival castle where at some point if you fail you was turn into frog by some sort of witch.

Could this maybe be a King's Quest game?

Unfortunately I don't think so. King's Quest VIII: Mask Of Eternity at least at some point does looks similar to it graphically but when I checked entire Let's Play of this game I didn't see any scene that I would remember from playing game which name I'm looking for.

I think Ecstatica [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9SsR5fPjGu4] had a scenario where you were turned into a frog.

Yea I checked it and there is such scenario in this game.But unfortunately it is still not the one I'm looking for. From what I remember the camera at least at some point was put behind your character similar to the most 3D platformers. Also I believe the graphics was slightly better then in Exctatica.

I need help remembering a game. It was either on the Dreamcast or ps2. but it was a Demo and it was what looked like an RPG game in a setting with airships and the demo started with a long cut scene of the characters in a town wanting to go on an adventure. I believe the game demo was on the same disc as the Army men Sarges hero's demo. If that helps at all. Sorry if I can't give more details that all I can remember. Thanks.

P.S. If anyone knows the name of the Demo Disc that would be good to know as well thanks.

If it was indeed a Dreamcast game, then Skies of Arcadia [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fLCKYVxQAyc] is a safe bet.
It even matches your second statement, that it was on the same disc as Army Men demo:

OFFICIAL DREAMCAST MAGAZINE DEMO DISC
Disc #9: December 2000 Issue
a. Web Browser
b. Skies of Arcadia
c. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2
d. Army Men: Sarge's Heroes
e. Silent Scope
f. KISS Psycho Circus: Nightmare Child
g. Starlancer*
h. Super Runabout: San Francisco Ed.
i. Looney Tunes Space Race
j. Super Boom Tread Troopers

 

[Pasquale Iodice]

Hi, i would really appreciate your help. I'm looking for a game, sure for PS1/PS2 , is an action-adventure game, third person,3D, the setting looks like desert/arabic. The only other thing i remember is that during game you aquire the ability to transform into animals/creatures, that is the peculiarity of this game. I remember there was desert theme on the cover. Maybe (not really sure) there was a symbol on the cover that reminds me an eye or a symbol similar to the one on oblivion's cover. Thanks.

up, i'm going mad :/

2: top down view hack & slash game were i just remember too characters a prist with a cross hilted sword and a biker you start off in a subway and have too fight the undead and other monsters.

Hunter: The Reckoning (the first one).
I usually played as Father Esteban, so I got to see a lot of that cross-sword. :>

Alright, you guys are gonna have to dig deep for this one. I've been searching for hours now, starting to think I hallucintated or dreamt this game. Somewhere between 12-16 years old, it was a third person and/or "gauntlet style"(Can't fully remember). Platform was playstation 2 or 1, 3d graphics, very low-level textures though.

There were two characters I can remember that you could choose from(may have been more). A white burly male with brown long hair, wore a black tank top, wielded a double barrel shotgun(maybe you found it in the first level). I don't recall much of the female character other than she may have had a dark skin tone.

I remember the first level where you started may have been a graveyard? There was grass and a dirt path for sure. Giant rats for sure (may have been undead rats). The second level, I distinctly remember a brick walkway and skeletons? Never made it past that area.

My memories of this game are very few and very vague. Anything would help, could jog my memory a little.

That'd be the Hunter: The Reckoning series. None of them staaarted in a graveyard, but I think all 3 games had one with the giant zombie-rats in it. The brick walkway makes me think it's the first Hunter, but the graveyard comes earlier in Wayward and I think Deuce only has long hair in Wayward, too.

hi! i have a fighting game buging me for about 6 years (dont know how new the game was), there were all female anime style fighters, i remember two characters, the first one was a schoolgirl with long black hair that had a katana and another more childish girl with purple hair that shoot purple electric balls and the ultimate power was a purple electric dragon, if you can help me i really apreciate it.

Hm... Arcana Heart is an all-girl, anime-style fighting series with a character who wears a school uniform and wields a katana while having long, black hair. I don't remember any purple electric dragons, but then I haven't played all of the Arcana Heart games. Could be the series you're after.

I used to watch my stepdad play an old pc game. Probably early 90's. The character you play is an adult male, and I believe he wore a suit. His apartment where you load in at is really minimalist; no crazy colors or fuzzy things, just grey walls, a bed, a balcony and his computer desk from what I remember. You would leave the apartment and walk through the city interrogating people and searching for answers. The game didn't hold your hand, you had to figure things out like a detective. I remember a very rainy/dreary city setting and neon signs. The character may have had significant nightmares, but I could be wrong on that as I was quite young and wasn't even allowed to watch my stepdad play all of the game, just certain parts, because it was "for grown ups". So there was probably swearing, possibly nudity or drug use? I think the people in the city were predominantly Asian. I know that certain aspects of Blade Runner (pc) remind me of this game, but it was not very futuristic. I don't recall any flying cars or lasers. It seemed to be sticking to a realistic time-period/setting. Again, I was a kid and only allowed to watch this game be played so some details might be a tad off. Sorry to ramble, and I really appreciate this thread!!!

Rise Of The Dragon had the dreariness, the basic apartment, some Blade Runner (the main character even liked to be called Blade Hunter), and a good deal of Chinese NPCs. Worth checking out, maybe?

The nightmares make me think Dreamweb and the Blade Runner part sounds like Snatcher, but those don't seem likely since they both go even further into weird future stuff...

i am looking for a game about a big space colony get attacked by aliens and you are the only survivor start hunt the aliens by spaceships and cars hovering on lava ext and you will be trained by a ealing to get a super power like hovering rocks ext its a pc game its a game round 2004/2010 i maybe wrong about the year

That sounds a lot like Advent Rising. :>

Hey guys,
This game is a top down arcade space-ship shooter. The backdrop (from memory) is just black space. You get the choice of three different ships - a star wars X-Wing, Y-Wing, and another one which was small compared to the other two and vaguely rectangular. There were 10 levels (I think), at the end of each was a boss. From memory the 4th boss was a Star Destroyer. As far as I can tell, other than the tie fighters, x-wing, y-wing and star destroyer, the game had nothing to do with star wars; towards the end of the game, organic, (red?) squid-like space ships begin to appear, and I vaguely remember the 8/9th boss being some big red jellyfish-like blob with eyes. If it helps, the basic projectile was a small yellow pixel. I played this game somewhere around 2000-2005, on the old windows (95, 98 or 2000).
Thanks!

Won't that be some game from Star Wars: X-Wing series?

No, to my knowledge, those were all first person, space flight "sims".
Judging by the description, this was not a licensed Star Wars game.

Hey everyone! I just created an account to ask you for your help! I've been looking for 2 games for ages now, and I'll do my best to give you a description of my memories of them...

1. I think it was a point-and-click kind of PC game, in the same style as Putt-Putt and Freddi Fish (Humongous Entertainment). But I looked at all of their games and I couldn?t find the one I?m looking for!
It's an educational game and the characters are (all) animals living in a forest, and they form some kind of club that gathers in a log house. One of them is a raccoon that is a painter, and you can play a painting mini-game with him (you can pick the colors and ?paint?, and then actually print your painting. Some kind of coloring picture).
I think there was an owl involved as well, and when some animal came on screen with a running animation it was like a classic cartoony entrance, with dust clouds and a ?WOOSH!? sound.
Oh and the game came in one of these cardboard boxes, about the size of an A4 paper. The log house and the raccoon were part of the boxart.

2. Another point-and-click game I used to play at my grandparents?. I was very young back then, but I remember you entered a big house in the beginning and the game took place in that house. The house was full of riddles and puzzles, and there were multiple playable characters.
I?m not sure if those characters were separate characters, or that your character could shape shift into another. One of those characters was a tiny flying thing (not sure if it was a mosquito, fly or fairy) you could use to fly through a key hole.

I think you could also be a mouse (to enter the cellar) and a dog at some other points in the game, although I?m not quite sure about the last one.

Both games were very childish (I was somewhere between 5 and 10 when I played them) and cartoony.

BUMP Please does anybody recognize any of this?
