Hi! (sorry for my english)

This is a hard one:

- It's an board PC game and I remember playing it in the end of the 90s, but it might have been early 2000 or something.
- I played the demo version witch it was included in a pc magazine (PC Mania, Hot Shareware, CD Shareware, etc.)
- I played it in window mode, so the game runs in Windows 95/98.
- The game it's like a board game, you select a player (remember a player in a airplane) and (maybe) roll the dice and you walked X squares.
- I played it with my brother, so I think that we can select 2 players
- Good graphics (windows 95/98)
- Current/Present-day setting
- (unsure) Each player with a different conveyance (airplane, train, car, etc.)
- (unsure) Is not a pc version of an classic board game (monopoly, game of life, etc.)
- (unsure) Side/lateral perspective
- (unsure) the board was like world map (or similar), with the seas (I remember a lot of blue color, so I think it was the seas).

I've searched on google for a long time and... nothing.

Thanks!

So i played this game when I was really young so I don't remember much, but I think it was a RTS type game where you summon monsters, one of the only monsters I can remember though is this rock golem guy that is stuck to the ground, that's really all that I can remember, if you recognise that monster from any game could you please tell me?

I REALLY hope someone can help me with finding this game! I'm 99% sure it was on the Dreamcast. It was extremely futuristic and had great graphics for the system. It was arena style deathmatch between hovercars, where you go around a map of your choosing and pick up weapons and power-ups to try and hunt down and destroy your opponent. It was 3-D and the soundtrack consisted of crazy techno and electronic music. I also remember it being unique with how you could drive on the walls and ceiling! You'd go on the ceiling and see your opponent fly past you on the ground, and you'd fight it out between the surfaces until no-one knew what was up and down. It was awesome. I'm vaguely remembering some kind of title befitting of such a game description. Something along the lines of a single 'X' with a dash or something followed by some really futuristic sounding word. The following is just for aiding anyone who is trying to help me with remembering keywords or sparking the memory! 'X-hoverstruction'. Or 'Xenocraft', Or X-plosionics!' Lol. Please help. I'm dying to play that jewel of a game again.

It was an old RTS game that came as a demo on my simcity 3000 game. You guys were native americans. The map was a globe and the whole rpund thing was evident.your only resource was wood. Your chiefs could convert your enemies. They would come sit next to them and listen to what the had to say. You had towers that you had to put a guy atop them so it would work.

If uou could help it would be awesome

Okay, having trouble trying to find this game. So heres some bullet points at the top of my head.

- PC Game Circa 90's to 00's
- Detectiveish mystery type game
- Top Down Perspective
- Main gameplay location is in a Mansion during a 'Party'
- You can walk outside and through the mansion
- I believe you are trying to find out who died (Can't fully remember plot)
- Same concept of the "Escape" type games, where it's point and click on items, combine items, use items, and i believe there is an item menu on the bottom of the screen
- You would have to 'talk' with guests to get clues or tips or useless info.
- Main character is White Male (I say this so you can rule out Nancy Drew? lmao and because it might help in narrowing thoughts)
- When you go in a particular room, there are several spaces where there is like acid or something that hurts the main character if you step on it
- (bit of a reach, so don't be held on this) i have a feeling the game started with the letter C or contained Case in it.
- It was included on a double (maybe Triple) disc PC Game Volume. (If you can find this out too, that would be an ultimate bonus, it included a derby game and racing games and other stuff from 90's - 00's)

If i remember anything else, ill add. Thanks.
Bumping my question
Anybody have a thought on this?
I have done a bit more research and found some more clues to the collection it was a part of. One of the games I know for a fact was on that collection or volume was Muscle Car 3. More info on that game here: http://www.ign.com/images/games/muscle-car-3-pc-568657

Hi, all.
I am trying to find a desktop escape game, from the early nineties, in which you had to find clues in different rooms to escape the "house". I can remember the rooms had names, as Obsidian Room, White Room, etc. I think it had something related to Japan, or a Japanese author, something like that.
Any tips?
Thanks.

I've been looking for ages to identify a demo I played on the pc in the mid to late 90s. It was a wacky races style board game, cartoon like and colourful. You could pick one of several characters and the objective was to roll the dice and race your opponents around different parts of the world. It was of course turn based and the squares on the board could have effects which could help or hinder.
I don't know if it ever made it to full release, I looked out for it but over the years just forgot the name.
Any help would be good.
That's "Dr. Drago's Madcap Chase" (1995).

There's an online remake of the game too. Missing the video sequences though. :)

Holy cow that IS it. Thank you so much, it's been bugging me for years.

The only game that comes to mind would be "Monster Rancher" if not, than looking for similar games might lead you closer to your answer!

*Also, to reply, on the top right of a post is a "quote" button. Click that and it will quote the post in your next reply =)

I played a PSP game at a young age that I can't remember the name of i remember it had a cliffhanger ending with you and your party on a train and someone was watching you from outside one of the characters was a girl with green hair that u accidently saw naked in a lake so she attacked you with some kind of wind spell and was saying that she promised herself only her husband could see her naked so she wants you to be her husband i cant remember much else I think he had a sister and she was ill or missing or something I'm also pretty sure there was a shop where you could input codes to unlock items if anyone has any ideas on the game name let me know.

Edit*
Found it its called Mimana.

In my migraine delirium state a game from years ago just popped into my head.
It couldn't by any chance be Betrapped! [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J12N13aT81o], could it? It's from 2004 though.

But check it out and if it's not the right one, tell me how does it compare to the game you're looking for.
There can't be that many games that fit your description.

Hello, all

This isn't much to go off of, but when i was a kid (late 90's - early 00's) I remember playing a 3d PC game in which you played a wizard in either a blue or purple robe. If i remember correctly the art style was minimalistic and possibly slightly 'cute'. I thought I still had the case in a box of old PC stuff, but it's nowhere to be found. Any clues / hints would be greatly appreciated! :)
Simon the Sorcerer 3d [http://www.juegomania.org/galeria/pc/2568/56101]? True, not wearing the purple robe, and I wouldn't call the graphics exactly 'cute'. But he did wear a purple robe in first game, if I remember correctly :)

You didn't specify what type of game it was, action, adventure... or system you've played it on, which could maybe help out further.

First off, I really appreciate your help!

It's none of those games. I've been through both of those lists multiple times, but could never find it. I don't know if it's because it's one of the games without a Wiki page, or simply because I'm remembering it on the wrong console. I'm so close to being certain it was Dreamcast, but I was maybe 7 or 8 when I played it? 1999-2001. My memory has surely faded. It may have been called something along the lines of 'Delirium', or 'Pandemonium' but maybe not those words exactly, or a combination of one of those words and another. And it wasn't a racing game. I remember it purely being an arena style, with squarish maps, some having hallway-like corridors. I want to start listing off the types of power-ups, but I don't want to make anything up accidentally. And it has the craziest electro music. Like something you'd hear in underground Germany. Lol.
