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

[Forrick]

- PC pixel 2d platform game
- main hero was a boy (he had long, brown hair) whose planet was attacked by robots (i think)
- with using ctrl you could attack with some orange-weapon-sword-laser thing
- it was like post-apo setting, robots, droids
- i can remember boss fight with giant frog attacking with it's tongue, it took place in forest near the town or village of main hero

I've been looking for it for years with no avail.

It was late 90's or early 2000's, the game was a first person adventure game. I played a demo of it.

It started in a prison cell where you had to take off bricks from the wall using only a spoon. The guard was cautionous and you needed to be careful. The guard eventually got drunk and passed out, but it was necessary to knock him out with a successfull brick throw through the bars. Then an attempt to escape could be made. After leaving the building to a rainy weather the demo ended with a picture of somebody, maybe another guard.

The game looked a bit like Myst or Riven, but without real people in it. I remember the feeling of a pirate-era, but it may be a false-positive.

Hello, i'm looking an old rts pc game, It was late 90's or early 2000's, in the game you could choose between indians,humans or robots

Ok, so there is the game I remember playing back on PS2, it was a TPS, and you were in this post apocalyptic type setting
and there were alien like monsters, and you played as this guy who had a blue metallic armor, and it could turn into a vehicle. I was around 5 at the time, so I can't recall anything else, except the details mentioned before. There was also this little town in the beginning of the game. If somebody could figure this out, that would be great as I would love to play this game again.

Hey guys, need your wisdom

Im looking for a PC puzzle-platformer from the early 90s. The stages were in some of pyramid. The main character had a backpack and a baseball cap, vivid colors. I remember snakes and treadmills. The game reminded me of montezuma s revenge but was more sophisticated with better graphics and sound

Please help!

Thanks

hey zion. thanks for the reply

its not justpack. the protagonist actually walked. the camera was closer to the character and the similarities to miontezuma s revenge are mostly in the atmosphere / decor. it doesnt really play as montezuma. the screens are way smaller (maybe a couple jumps before raching the new screen)

I ll totally give a nice gift for whoever helps me find this game

i remember playing this game around 4-6 (not sure) years ago on my computer. it was a game where you had monsters and how powerful they were was shown in tiers (the tears had names but the defining part of the tiers was the pattern of the tiers for example black and yellow diagonal stripes. you could have alot of monsters. you would choose a monster of your own to fight a randomly chosen enemy (no matter the tier sometimes). the way you fight your monsters isn't by moves but it by a wheel where half is your colour and the other is your enemies colour (by half i mean how strong your monster was compared to your enemies, the stronger it is compared, the more of the wheel your colour dominates.) and a pin would spin to either your colour or your enemies. if it was your enemies, your enemy wins and vise versa. who ever won got to choose if they wanted to kill your monster and that would send them to the graveyard or the could steal your monster and then your monster would be gone forever. if your monster is dead, you had to pay with online currency to revive them.
please help me find this game.

 

[takbejr]

I am searching for this game very long time.
Its a 3d platformer from the 2000s. You play as a weird looking RED alien/devil thingy. You had a staff (similar combatsystem to beyond good and evil) and the only enemy i remember was a Robotic Dog. I also remember a level that was a castle and it had rooms, wich when you walked in, turned completely dark and you could hear a laughter.
Also some other characters i vaguley remeber: and old lady, looked like a witch, a funny skeleton, who was clumsy and served as a comic relief.
Its really bugging me what games it was.
Sorry for not enough details and my bad english.

 

[gossamier]

This has been bothering me for a long time and I can't for the life of me remember the name:

You played a stickman,
it was multiplayer (not the kind where 2 people play on one computer, the kind where you can play with strangers),
it was web-based,
I think there were teams and you had like a suit of the team colour?,
You could make maps,
the maps were just like blocks. So everything was made with different kinds of blocks.
It was a shooting game.

This is all that I can remember about the game, I hope it's enough. Please help!

Thanks in advance for any help.

Okay, this game is on the platform of either playstation or playstation 2 but i believe it was on the PS1. Its a space battle game that you are controlling a space ship. You are moving forward like a first person shooter but it acts like a shoot them ups type of game. Instead of going up or to the right/left you are flying forward. It is a very colorful game with lots of bright explosions.

The game play is best described as the ship enters the planets atmosphere and you begin shooting against machines/towers and what not. One of the weapons I clearly remember is these four bubble beams that go from the center of the ship that is shotting toward the front of the ship and than you can switch it to shot to each corner of the screen. The game is played at a set speed and direction, you just move across the screen left, right, up, and down.

I can "TRY" to explain it in more detail if needed but this is the best I can do if you ask me.

A game that comes extremely close to it is called VANARK but the game that I played was more colorful and it was on different planets.

Hi everyone-

I need help with regards to this specific game I am looking for- I've literally searched google for it without any satisfaction.

It's a DOS, PC game - The game is quite old school (I can remember playing in like 2nd, 3rd grade - 1997/1998, it could even be an older game)

You select a boy or girl character
Then they adventure in this almost 2D/3D like world and you have to complete a level, once that level is complete you have to spell a word.
That's all I can recall with the game- you could play as though you going on some adventure and only afterwards the quiz part of the game would pop up to spell a word. So it's kind of an educational game but focus is more on gameplay.

Please could someone help me - I can't remember the title of this game.

And also The game includes different levels - like 2D worlds if I'm not mistaken- you take your boy, or girl character through this 2d world and adventure through- I don't remember if you had to perhaps find a key and then unlock a door in order to go through to the next level- I think that was part of the game play.

Here are three games that fit that description: Starblade by Namco, Novastorm by Psygnosis, and The Hive by Rainbow America. All of them are for PS1.

--edit-- It's an game probably somewhere in the '80s early '90s --edit--

I'm looking for a game that I used to play with my brother. I did find it some years ago but I've lost it again.

It's set in japan and I think you play a Ninja. The view of the game is a map, where your character is shown as a square with face on it. You can walk around on the map and visit towns and temples and even go on a boat and sail to distant islands. When you encounter a foe, the view changes to a side view with you and your advesary. You can advance and retreat in steps or kick or punch high straight or low. Every time you would move, so would the opponent. It took some getting used to, but after a while the fights were doable. But I could never figure out where to go to advance the main story and I would end up dead or in some jail or something where i couldn't get out.

I sure hope somebody knows which game I'm talking about!

From those three that you mentioned the closest that come to the game is novastorm but the game that I played did not have all the extra drones and the full energy/health around the screen. From the other two games mentioned you can not see the ship but only the cursor, the game I played actually showed the ship. Thank you but I will keep looking.

***EDIT***
I checked out NOVASTORM a little further and there were some resemblance so I bought the game and I will check it out as soon as it is delivered. Even though I never remembered drones and the full screen energy bar stuff, there was a level that I remembered and one youtube reviewer did show that level. Thanks again.

Hey guys, hoping you can help. Looking for a game for a friend with the following details:

Browser-Based
Literally just a map of rectangles when you start. Zero story.
You start with one square
If someone takes that square, you lose.
Real Time
Multiplayer
There were sometimes impassible walls, mainly only on the big two week maps
You also had this supply route buff thing you could get it would strengthen the troops in existing territories
If you had territories that didn't connect to the main one, they could die off.
There were mountain areas in the bigger maps. They were really hard to dig through. But there were sometimes like diamonds or something you could get out of them that you could buy buffs with.
I've been trying to look around for a bit with no luck. Any chance someone here knows?

I think we're looking for the same game.

Hi all - such a useful thread!

Am looking for a PC point and click game from the 90's (or very early 2000's). All I remember is some really random details:

You play as a kid. At one point you have to look up criminals' profile on a computer in the street. You have to answer questions disguised in a black coat to get into the criminals' headquarters. At another point you have to combined household elements to make a conductible solution to charge a battery for a big drill machine. You then use that drill machine to dig under the city.

I'd be grateful for any help!

Greetings guys! I was hoping any of you could help me with two specific games I used to play like more than 12 years ago . Both of them were played on an old PC I had in one of the earliest versions of Microsoft Windows, around 2002-2005. I will try to outline as many details as I can.
The first one was a game in which you followed some sort of fictional character throughout some weird forests, however you were always stepping on a stone path and ascending to the next parts of the level via a cobbled slope. The enemies were usually some sort of green monsters which carried guns(some were horned too) or a bunch of skeletons later on which emerged from the ground. If I remember correctly, every time you killed one of them, something like their organs were falling to the ground, or maybe their body parts, and you could pick em up , maybe for health? ( I don't remember that part that well). Generally, the background of the game was dark-green and the ground, as I said, was of stone.
The second one was a game I have been struggling to find for many years. I am very positive that it was called Megamania. (or at least something close to Mega). However, when I googled Megamania, an Atari space aircraft game kept popping up, which is not the one I was looking for, unfortunately. While I remember that mine was also called Megamania, the one I was searching for involved a blue (bleu ciel) (sky) background, in which you were controlling some sort of small, square-like character and jumping from platform to platform. I am still pretty sure the name is right, but unfortunately I cannot find any reference to it anywhere.
I wish the above helped anyone who would be potentially interested in replying. Thanks in advance.

I can't give much info at all as I don't remember a lot but I remember a small green lizard, a top hat and a beach ball. You could go into the top hats and come out on the other side of a small 3d map made of cubes and I'm not sure what the goal was but the lizard blocked your path and it just went forward and backwards.

Hello, found this thread through Google and I know this is probably a long-shot but I am trying to remember the name of a shooting/FPS game i used to play on either the original xbox or PS2. (pretty sure the game was on both systems.) I thought the game was battlefield 2 modern combat but that game has a HUD completely different than what i remember.

what i remember is falling down with a parachute with a silenced SMG or assault rifle. you could shoot as you were falling. you also do that in battlefield 2 modern combat, But in the game im thinking of i dont remember the level having any snow on it..

Also, on the HUD on the game i cant recall you could actually see the brass bullets being loaded into the chamber and fired in real time it was like if you were to look down the barrel of a gun that has a bullet loaded into it, you could see the back of the bullet, and every shot you would see a new one load in...this is pretty much all i remembered from the game, i was almost positive it was battlefield 2 modern combat but as i said its missing the little bullet loading animation in the corner of the HUD

I also don't remember being able to freely switch between any soldiers on the battlefield. If anyone has any clue or thinks they know what game im thinking of i would greatly appreciate it! Also, there may be a reward in store for whoever helps me figure it out. this has really been bothering me because i would love to re-watch a play through if this game again on YouTube for the nostalgia.
