Sadly no. The level I remember is not really musical. Its just that the platforms are in fact music notes. I think the theme of the game is less bright than rayman. Plus its a 3D platformer, sorry for not mentioning that earlier.Ogoid said:
Hi, I used to play a game on PC in the late 90's early 00's. It was about a female wannabe magicians. You had to go on different quests to collect items and mix potions. I remember she liked spring onions, could turn metal in gold thanks to alchemy and met a yeti during one of the stages. Anyone remembers the title? It's driving me mad....

I am looking for the name of this particular wizard conquering the map type game:
This one has been preying on me for well over 15 years. It was a game for PC. It was in the years 1995-2001. My PC was running Win95 at the time, but I don't remember if the game was Windows or if it was DOS Based. Graphics were at least 640x480x256 if not slightly better.
At the time I had been searching the internet for a successor to Master of Magic when I found this game demo. At that time the game was not released only the playable demo. I don't know if it was ever finished or released.
I'm pretty sure the game was a top down map with constantly wandering heroes and monsters and maybe armies in a realtime display rather than turn based. Although in the same theme as MoM (a wizard controlling armies and heroes) the gameplay had little in common.
Of the graphics I remember them being quite bright and similar to Heroes of Might and Magic II but I think the individual heroes and armies were depicted slightly smaller onscreen.
The heroes had a fairly extensive experience point system, but you could not directly control your heroes. I think I recall you had to post bounties to encourage you heroes to go places and explore.
The game didn't stress city building very much or maybe at all.
While possessing elements of Warlords, Warlords II, HOMM, HoMM2 and MoM it was not these games. I've never played Age of Wonders but I don't think that's it. Nor is it WarCraft or Dungeon Keeper.
Ideas? Anyone recognize it or happen to have the demo in an archive somewhere? Wish I'd kept the demo but I was expecting the game to come out eventually. Don't know if I just missed it or it was abandoned. I thought it was being developed or produced by one of the bigger gaming companies like MicroProse or Origin but I'm not certain.
I think the demo let your heroes level up a small amount then froze their XP or possibly it only let you have one hero but promised more in the full version.
The demo was very polished and playable. Sound effects, music, animations, numerous hero types and monster types. I can't remember exactly how armies were implemented - but I think I recall them being independent of heroes like MoM not linked to heroes like HOMM.

Theres this game that i remember playing in the early 2000s where you played as a pastel angelfish. it was a story based game from what i remember but i have absolutely no idea what its called. im pretty sure majority of the game is point and click. if you find anything please help!
Thanks for the reply , im trying to find it but still not found it, the game wasnt a racing game , it was like an small open world seen from above and you had your character and you needed to kill other , and i think the characters were all animals , very hard to find this game ,istmaller said:
Hi guys, so i joined the forums to digout two ancient flash games that i used to play all the time back in the day, but somehow i forgot the name of them and i have been wondering ever since.
The first game is basically a kid that stands behind a big person. The kid is only trying to do something harmful or harmless to the big guy inorder to go next in the line infront of a resturant or a cafeteria. the game gives the player many stuff and weapons to try out on the big guy such as nails, itching powder and such. all of those stuff and weapons usually backfire on the kid and harms him and not the big guy. the outro of the flash game had a cartoonish wooden plank with words on it.
The Second flash game is of basically a boring office day with workers just doing their work. the player can choose actions that can change the office into something fun like a disco night club, a paperplane fight and other funny things that can be turned into.
These are the two of many games that i would love to play again..
I will be extremely thankful to whoever got the strongest memory around this forum that can remember the names of those two games i mentioned.

A PC Game I played sometime during my teens between the years of 2000 and 2006, it may be from earlier but I played it on Windows XP. I believe it was a freeware title. The game was a simple top-down game where you explored a maze moving 1 tile at a time, the tiles were small, maybe 8x8 or 16x16, no bigger. Your goal was to find all the "Yellow Pieces" to complete the level. The game came with a level editor that let you make your own maps. The tiles included grass, water, brick, and several stones and trees. There were colored doors you needed the same color key to unlock. There were invisible teleporters that would send you to another part of the maze. There were signs (in the editor you could write anything you want on them). Lastly there were special items you could find like an axe to cut down trees to move past them or special boots to walk on water. There were no enemies in the game, just a maze. The levels could be pretty large, and there was a black fog of war over most of the map that you had to reveal as you walked through it.
There's a game I remember playing on a demo disc when I was younger (probably around 2003-2005). I'm pretty sure it was on PS2. Anyway you play as a kid in like a cul de sac and I remember climbing up a tree house in the middle of all the houses where you'd meet your friends and play mini games. I vaguely remember a dog and a game of tag but my memory might be fooling me. It was a really bright game and the kids were cute little models. Sorry I can't remember more!
I have a game I've been looking for several years now.
It is a game I played around 2000-2004 I think.
It was a point-and-click type of game in which you were a person trying to get to a castle (what I remember).
It featured a map of a couple of places you could go to (I remember a sunken ship, a tavern like cave and a woodland pass).
The boat had a genie or fortune teller.
I distinctively remember that when you get to the woodlands, you get jumped by highway men. You have to click the right dialog to pass... But I always died here.
Hope this is enough info to help me out

i played this game last in 2005 ON PC i think. 2d platform action/advanture, 2 Main characters 1girl 1boy .. i think either their names started with the letter A or the game started with the letter A. it was a very colorfoul game. I *think* you could go in the walls like there would be secret stuff there. there were caves, waterfalls, and at one point you went to a space ship. I remember being able to climb trees fairly easily and i think there were things in the trees that either gave you points or were health points idk exactly ... I don't remember any weapons being in the game but i could be very wrong. the characters were lanky and tall i think (dont focus on this part alot (and it had a psychodelic theme song to it(fairly light, nothing extreme)
- Background:
- This is an educational/puzzle-solving game for the BBC Micro (Acorn computer). At first I thought it was Through the Dragon's Eye, but having played through that just now I can confirm it's not. I played it at school, around 1990-1991. It's most likely a 'Look and Read' educational adventure game, but could also be just an adventure game with logic puzzles you have to solve (through text-based inputs) in order to progress.
- BBC Micro
- 1987-1991
- Fixed screen. 2D side-on view. Text-based entries below fixed image
- Very early 8-bit, simple. Probably only 4 or 8 colours on a black background (perhaps wireframe graphics)
- A simple, possible adventure-style game, where in order to progress you had to solve logic puzzles, word games, odd-one-out style puzzles. Aimed at children around 8 years old.
- Adventury, probably
- Educational/puzzle solving/adventure
- So here's the bit I remember: there was a puzzle you had to solve. There are three platforms (left, centre, right). Three boxes (large, medium, small) stood stacked on the left platform. You have to move the boxes to the right platform, stacked identically. You can only move one box one space right or left at a time, and larger boxes can't stack on top of smaller boxes. It's a common logic puzzle,
but I can't remember the name for itedit: Tower of Hanoi. I also think it might not have been square boxes, but various simple-programmable objects (cylinders? doughnuts?).
Here's how I picture the screen in my mind:
Edit: finding out that the logic puzzle is called The Tower of Hanoi, I've found this BBC Micro game [http://bbcmicro.co.uk/game.php?id=1393], which it could well have been, but I recall the puzzle being part of a larger adventure game, and that the objects were 3D-ish/isometric.
