I used to play a game in the early 2000's that was a brick breaker. It appeared as if you are looking up at the sky with four walls surrounding your view. Don't remember if it was always a view of the sky or just clouds. Anyway, there were bricks in front of you. There was a somewhat decent size clear square paddle that, as you broke the bricks, would react to different power ups including multiple ball and one where if you caught the ball, it would stick to the paddle and then click to release in a new location instead of just bouncing off.. There was another power up that allowed the paddle to increase in size or shrink. The power ups would come towards you and you would have to choose if you wanted it or just watch it get bigger towards you and disapper.
I have searched the web and can't seem to find any answer much less graphics of the game play. Any help would be greatly appreciated. This has been bugging me for the better part of the last month.

Hi guys,
2 games I remember playing in 90s/00s on the PC.
Right, can anyone help me. For the past week or so, I've been trying to think of the name of 2 PC games that I used to play when I was younger but I can't and it's starting to drive me insane.
1) This one was a 'journey' game where you moved your way through a 'island' and you had different activities to complete. What I can remember there was a scene/level with berries and you had to put them on like an Aztec-y type wall with monkeys (?), another with a mine and gems in it and another with a shed outside in the dark and it had a dish and a spoon and it sang the song to you. I'm not sure if you had to collect gems or letters throughout the game?
2) This one I can remember being blue and red themed and you played a little mechanic/racing driver and your aim was to build racing cars from scrap/parts to beat the main bad (?) guy. You moved up and down levels on the screen (a bit like snake and ladders).
I really have no idea if I've made these up or not but if anyone has any ideas, PLEEEEAAAASE let me know because I've just spent an hour googling stuff and nothing came up....

Hi everyone,
Could you guys help me find the name of a game that required you to collect crystals/diamonds? It was a game similar to supaplex in a way because the crystals/diamonds were trapped. You had to arrange some of the oval blocks in such way that it blew up the barrier and gave you access to the crystals/diamonds.
Now, there was a dot that moved all on the edges on the path I made (like in supaplex the grass was mowned everywhere I walked). All I had to figure out where to move and how to move the oval blocks in order for the dot to move on the specific edge and make the barries blows up & I collect my crystals/diamonds.
The whole setting was in a black or cosmic surrounding.
Guys, you will be my hero if you help me identify the name of this game!!!!
Fingers crossed!!!
Thanks!!

Here's a list of breakout variants. Unfortunately, I can't find a list that narrows it down any more than that, and this list includes both 3d and 2d variants.Gamer630211 said:
Hi guys, I'm looking for a text-based game which I played maybe 13-15 year ago.
Unfortunatly the only things I can remember are:
- The plot was around a strange fog that has covered all the land (or village?) slowly killings people, animals and plant. You start your desperate quest to solve the mistery of this fog.
- The very first scene of the game is at the entrance of an abandoned village (abandoned or with ghostly villagers).
- The game have a text-based interface with a little static image to better explain the area seen by the main character. If I remember well the movement actions were like go north,south,enter the house and stuff like that
- In one of the first encounter you can enter in a house and an old figure (maybe an old woman, I don't remember) start to tell something or maybe just smile at you and then vanish.
- If you just start wandering and idling at some point a message inform that you have been too much influenced by the fog and start an endless sleep (or just died, again I don't remember well)
- The game run on PC, not sure if dos-based or standalone
- The game is sort of horror or mistery-solving.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you all

Hello everyone.
Looking for a pc 2d platformer, played it around 1995-1997.
Found a good description of it on another forum:
Platform(s): PC/Windows 98?
Genre: Platform/adventure
Estimated year of release: 1990s
Graphics/art style: Isometric/Top down?
Notable characters: Nuclear plant technician?
Notable gameplay mechanics: Run around trying to prevent nuclear plant meltdown. Avoiding radiation and you heal yourself by washing off in emergency showers.
Other details: You were a technician or engineer at a nuclear plant that's having a meltdown so you have to run around turning off switches, jumping over green slime and radiation, healing yourself in emergency showers.
I also clearly remember some sort of elevators running between floors of this facility.
Unfortunately, noone there remembered it, so may be someone here can help?

Hey guys, this is the one that's been gnawing at me for the last five years! I'll buy anyone who can get this one a pitcher of beer!
Platform: most likely PC, never had consoles, played this one a lot!
Genre: Kinda Action RPG?
Year: Probably no earlier than 98-99, but most likely 2000s.
Ok: So I remember it's an isometric futuristic game, and I'm 99% sure it's about being a mercenary. Mercs something? And I remember that between missions you'd go to a town, and you could upgrade your body parts, like arms and legs, I think by levels.
I also remember you'd have a lot of inventory management to do, different weapons and the missions were isometric Diablo style action rpg?
This is killing me! Argh! Help!
Thanks!

I need your help! I remember this game, I think it was for PS1 or PS2. Can't remember if it was 1st or 3rd person. Player controls a giant robot as part of a squad investigating an abandoned space station, the inhabitants of which are dead or mutated into aliens. Very mysterious, suspenseful, and story driven. I believe it had a Japanese art style.
hey there was this game i used to play this game on my cousin's old pc, and all i really remember was that it was a platformer and you were an yellow egg shaped guy with no arms but he had legs and you could make your own levels. plus i remember there being a multiplayer the guy would change color depending on the play. also you had to get keys to finish levels.
never mind i found it to all that want to know it was speedy eggbert i loved that game i played it when i was really young.
Oh, man, PixelHunter, not this one. Thanks so much for helping me! Don't stop: I remembered something else: the city (the hub of operations) isn't an explorable map like this one, it's almost like those interactable screens in the new Starcraft games, you know? Like a static screen where you can go to the launch pad, the upgrade limbs... store, I guess, etc. I remember there being a flame thrower... Oh, man, this is for real killing me. I've been trying to remember this one for years, I swear, but now that I'm sharing this, it drilling my brain, lol. Thanks!Pixelhunter said:
I am trying to remember a game my brother used to play in the late 90s early 2000s. It was CD rom game and I remember the CD was like a sea foam green. You were given different case files and there was a video you watched about each one. One had to do with a some bike accident and another had to do with a disease outbreak in a hospital. There was a female person who wouldn't let you out of the room until you figured out the case. I don't remember what exactly you had to solve. She reminds me of either Alex Borstein or Rosie O'Donnell But I remember you could measure the skid marks of the car and bike tires at the scene of the accident. You could test samples in a centrifuge. I've tried searching online for this game, but have had no luck.
Hello everyone.
So, there are two old games that I don't know their names.
Both are PC games, and about 15+-5 years ago.
1. It was First person shooter with A LOTS of guns. I'm not sure, but I think it was in a post-apocalyptic world (NOT SURE).
I remember 2 of the weapons were very unique:
- It was a big gun that shoots laser or something, and when it hits the enemies, they froze for a moment and then turn to dust and fall to the ground.
- The other one was a RAT! It was an explosive rat that you could control (Camera would go 3rd person on the rat). You could guide
the rat in the middle of a group of enemies and then blow them up!
The graphics of this game was something like Counter-Strike: Condition Zero. Maybe just a little bit better (or not!).
2. The second game is trickier! I don't know the genre, But the gameplay includes 2 witches (or some creature or person capable of magic) in front of each other. They took turns to attack each other, and not by close combat. They could summon other creatures in front of themselves to fight for them.
I even draw a sketch of the gameplay:
https://www.imageupload.co.uk/images/2017/02/07/Untitled.jpg
The background could be different. (places like a firey hell or desert, or a frozen world. places like that).
The graphics of this one wasn't bad. But it is an old game and not so famous. It was not 2D. The characters and backgrounds were 3D.
It would be awesome if someone could name these two. I'm searching for these names for years!
