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

[dethklok129]

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.

Darn! Sorry I couldn't make it easy for you!
I know the feeling though. I've SCOURED the online lists of Point and Click games pre-95. I can't seem to find my game anywhere either =(
Feel free to private message me the power up list you have in mind, could possibly job a memory of my own on what your looking for?

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

I think a Populous:The Beginning demo game with SimCity 3000, what you describe definitely sounds like Populous, it was one of my favorite games as a child.


There's a game I'm looking for that I remember borrowing from a friend in exchange for them borrowing Giants Citizen Kabuto, so it must have been somewhere around 2000.

All I remember is that you play a boy who can cast magic, I think it was a top down perspective with sorta cartoony graphics, and throughout the game you could upgrade your hat/magic (One of the first hats I remember getting was a felt hat), I think the game was fairly short and easy and I recall beating the whole thing in a few hours in the same day.

Hi I this game has been bothering me for a long long time now and i'd really appreciate the help for finding this game.
So descriptions are following:
Platform was PC, could have been dos
2D 1v1 Fighting game
Backgrounds varied from Egyptian-esque to dark back alleys.
Fighters I remember were: big guy(giant-ish) with a warhammer, axewielding/throwing dwarf, evil looking guy with kratos/ghostrider type chains around his arm used as whips.
Thats all I remember, game was given to me by my brother about 18 years ago but he doesnt remember any more either.

Happy hunting

Hi!

First of all, sorry, if someone already had this question, but more than 700 pages of comments is just a little too much for me to browse through...

The game I am looking for was basically (as far as I can remember...) a turn based game, with hex-grid maps. It had offline PvP mode. Unfortunately I don't remember much, but I know, there were flame and water elementals in it, some kind of mages (an old man with a staff that shot lightnings), and (maybe) an invisible man. Of course there were other characters as well, but I can't really recall them.

It was something like the old Heroes games (the characters could move X tiles in each round and had some kind of attack), but it WASN'T one! I am sure! There were no base management or exploration, just the fights with these nicely animated characters.

I know it's not much I can remember, but if anyone had any idea I would greatly appreciate it since I tried really hard to find it using google with no luck so far... We used to play this game with my friends a lot and I really want to find it.

Thanks!

Hi, not sure of its been asked before because I'm not gonna go looking through 700 pages of comments. But the game was for a school PC and from what I remember you had to find crystals or diamonds but to get there you had to do a lot of puzzles and solve riddles and stuff. Not a great description but if it rings any bells with anyone that would be great. More than likely will be known by anyone in UK / Ireland. Hope someone can help driving me crazy.

Ok I'm starting to think that maybe you had a dreamcast at the time but this game was on the PS1?
I looked up some more on your game and I came upon descent. The multiplayer part of the game was arena battle style, some with different game modes.
It included all kinds of powerups and the second one had even more.
The only thing that I don't think matched up was the ability to drive on the ceiling
I looked up the soundtrack to the second one and....well skip to exactly 7 minutes in this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_UGGojdnjSc

Hi. So, this is about 10 years ago that I last saw my uncle play this game. You're in a haunted mansion fighting ghosts but you also collect the souls of the ghosts, and sometimes the objects would randomly fly towards you or so, but I keep getting lost whether the character was a mouse or a human, but yeah... I hope this somewhat helps... And for console, well, uncle used to play metal slug, so it's either the ps console or neo-geo... Thanks in advance~!

Hi, looking for a game that is played on a pc, probably win 98 and above and booted from a floppy disks, the smaller version.

The games goes something like this:
You start by picking the number of players(1-10?) and then pick characters from a range of characters(there are two sides). Each character has a different skill set where you can press certain keys to trigger it or just press the attack key. Each player are given different keys like one would be the arrow keys and the other one would be the WASD keys. It is level based, where you fight monsters and other npc characters to head to the next level. I remember during one of the final levels, there was a "twist" where the opponent npc will join your team to help you defeat the boss. I also remember this game being 2D, probably 8-bit-ish, colored, and you can move in all directions until you reach the end of the screen, or the "map".

I know the game sounds really generic like any other game you can probably get today, so if anyone can remember it, it'll be much appreciated! Thanks! - MiLo

Hello, the game i'm looking for is for original xbox(2001). I remember i played with other person so had multiplayer/single-player and was a fighting game in a battleground, i think was free for all of 4 players. I think had 1 character like a ninja but the others were different and had different skills and after sometime i think you could use a special skill. The characters were like chibis and not like street fighter/tekken/etc. Thx!

 

[eonsprite]

Hey
I've been looking for this game for a while now and was wondering if anyone here could help me out,

I first played the game on mofunzone years ago. You were a dragon in the game and you flew throughout the levels fighting different bosses. The entire game you were flying in a straight line and the story in itself was very linear. One of the levels was above water and you had to attack the water monster every time it jumped up I think and another level you fought a large multi-legged monster creature. At the end you versed the final boss which was another dragon and after you beat him you would continue to fly straight until you decided to close the tab,

The character you played was a dragon and I think it was an off-white/ grey colored dragon and it was much smaller compared to the monsters you fought. The game mechanics were flying up and down and attacking. I'm pretty sure you could also get power-ups as you were flying. I think the character stayed in flight the entire time. And if I remember correctly the music was almost calming and one of the bosses, the one with multiple legs I think, made whale sounds every time you attacked her.

Thanks!!

So,there are two games I've been searching for.The platfrom is PC.So,the first one was weird,with a monster and lots of pink goo you had to clean to get to the other sides of the level and it all happened in a sewer,I think.
The other game is newer,but i can't seem to remember the name of it.It was about a man who woke up in an old mansion and had to go through rooms to talk to people and go to the psychiatrist everyday adn tell him stuff,even if he wanted to escape.the game was like really dark and the point of view was somehow from the side.It was kinda pixelated too.
Much obliged!

Looking for two games that I can vaguely remember playing as a kid:

(This one I'm dying to find, honestly) A princess game (I think?) where you start off alone in a tower, there's birds in the kitchen or something. At a few points in the game, I think I remember there being a village where you can make dresses in one shop, and something to with bread somewhere in there. In other parts, there's a (rose garden?) maze, and then at another part you have to talk to what I think was a mermaid, and find a key in one of three sea shells to cross a lake.

The second I remember very little of, but there was one part in this game, you play as a woman (ana adventurer maybe? I feel like this game might be an early Tomb Raider, but I'm not sure) and you take a right hand turn between large stone walls, or maybe hedges, and you collect a line of floating skulls.

Thanks in advance if anyone manages to find either of these, especially the first one

That's not very useful, because we don't know when you were a kid.

I've seen a lot of queries like that lately, and those are almost always impossible to identify. There's just too many potential matches, need to narrow it down somehow. At minimum, make sure to mention the platform and estimated year.

This is a 2-Dimension, english learning game for kids. The CD-ROM format only suited Windows XP or so.

The game starts with a blue egg that hatches, and a small blue creature with a cute red antenna thingy on it's head comes out of it. In the beginning you -the creature- are in a house's basement, and controlling the creature, you go all through to the kitchen, living room, then go out and find yourself in a small village, which you cross, them go into a forest, and somehow -I don't remember- you got by boat to an Island and then into a temple, where you had to answer a multiple choice quiz in order to defeat a sort of wizard -the bad guy in the game-.
All through the game you have to solve word puzzles of every kind, and also click on the things in the background to know their names, and they would display a nice funny animation. Some of the words would automatically save into a 'bank' so you would use them later to complete a small text that you would find somewhere in the background of every 'stage'. Completing the text was a necessary to pass from a stage to the next one, and it would narrate the journey and impressions of the creature along the game.
The blue creature -that's basically it's name-, was really cute and funny, and it shows diverse emotions related to the animations of the objects, which was the charm of the game. The main point was to the defeat the evil wizard and help the creature go back to it's planet -yeah, it was scared-.
Some particular things I remember from the backgrounds are a refrigerator, bread, a rocking chair, a window, clouds, a tower, a stone, a clothes store with some hats on display, the path leading to the forest, a castle in the forest. trees. leafs, tree trunks, an armor(?). a beach, the boat, the island, an ufo animation, the temple and the questions of the quiz coming in a haze cloud.

If anybody recognizes the description of the game and remembers the name, I would be grateful for eternity, will make you a sandwich and play video games with you (If you'd like).

PLEASE ANSWER!! This was such an important part of my childhood and I wanna search for the game again.

After looking for this one for a long time myself, I managed to find it. It's called "In Search of the Lost Words". It has become abandonware, you can get it from here: http://www.abandonia.com/en/games/31508/.html

Thanks for the effort, but it wasn't it.

And it isn't weapon lord either
