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

I was curious if anyone remembers an Ant Game where you were the ants and you had to invade a home and take it over? That was the main goal of the game was to invade the house and take it over. I see a lot of ant games, but nothing like that. It was a computer game... Thank you...

Seems to match the premise of SimAnt, around 1991. You were a yellow colored ant leading the black ants against the reds in a top down (mostly) perspective. You started out in a corner of the lawn and worked your way to the house. When you covered all the land and defeated all the reds you chase the human out of the house.

Okay, I have one my Google-fu has been exhausted looking for... Its another educational game I played in the early 90s, I'm thinking in the '93 time frame. There were two I know of, both similar. One took place in the rainforest and you were going through the rainforest learning facts about animals and taking pictures of animals for a mission (photograph the "_____"), the other was the same concept, but it took place in the ocean. Controls were very basic, North, South, East, West; in the ocean one you could also dive under water and if you were not careful you could run out of oxygen. In the rainforest one you could run into poachers or clear cutters and loose as well. Thoughts?

Controls felt/ looked a lot like Nintendo's Shadowgate

Its been on my mind a while now. Thanks all!

Hmm, Some of those points match EcoQuest 1('91) & 2('93) by Sierra. They were both an edutainment genre game, though I don't fully recall if you took pictures in them. I remember 1 (the ocean one) you got points for cleaning trash, but I don't recall if you could drown in it.

The game you're looking for might be The Amazon Trail.

Hi guys,
the only things I recall about this game that I've played it around the year 2000, you start controlling a yellow character (used to call it Mr.Bogus) and solving puzzles, this character can pick up a shovel, a boulder and even clone itself when it reaches a specific machine, I think there was also a kind of power gauntlet you pick up to destroy something ( don't remember if it is a mob or an obstacle).
Please if anyone remember the name tell me.

Why no one answered me??

 

[ShyGamerGirl]

Oh, I want to find one soo hard! I remember it was a strategy and there you had a castle and you could build different buildings like house first, then armory etc. The number of builders was limited to the level of your castle. And you actually saw how they were building it. Also you had to explore territory around your kingdom and sometimes you found your foes' soldiers - you had a fight. I know it sounds like any game, but maybe this will be useful: I played it in 2001-2002 I am pretty sure it was new than. Any ideas?

Hello!

The game I'm looking for I played on a joystick arcade cabinet, you could select (i recall) at least 3 characters; 2 were guy, 1 was a girl, I recall one guy was bigger than the other. They all had their combo move list on the side of the arcade cabinet. I only remember one mission/stage where you board a cruise ship that some bad guys took hostage and the objective was to clear out each stage. I never made it to the end.

Something of a wild guess here, but... maybe Dynamite Cop [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHQoT_Z4_II]?

Why no one answered me??

I can only speak for myself, but at a guess, it's because they don't think they can help, and posting just to say so would make the thread too bloated.

Do you remember any more details, like which system it was you played it in, or around what year?

At a completely random guess, your description makes me think of something like Lemmings [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7SgDS-16UFA], but I'm pretty sure that's not it.

 

[Bubblespoppable]

My forgotten game I played when I was 7 or 8 so the details are fuzzy, it was a built in to the computer game because my parents would never have allowed me to download a game, I seem to remember it have a one word title. The main character was a young boy in medieval times with his dog that I want to say is a jack russel. I mainly fished in a pond near a bazaar type shop keep area and it was a very impressive graphic game, I remember thinking it was so beautiful even at the time, which was early 2000's by the way. I'm pretty sure it had quests and there were mazes, but this is where the game gets fuzzy for me. I really enjoyed this game when I was younger and for nostalgia's sake I want to know what it was. Thank you.

Hi guys!

I've been wracking my head and scouring the internet for days about this game.

It's an online game I played back in 2008-2009ish. I know my Final Fantasy games but I remember this one being a Final Fantasy game for some reason.. I could be wrong. It's not FFXI or FFXIV. I played this one on the PC and there were only 2 servers, NA and EU. I lived in SEA before so I recall not being able to play too well.

In this game, you can turn into a dragon, a knight riding on a horse with a spear or a giant. I think there were more transformations but you can only turn into one if you get a number of crystals with the dragon needing the most and the knight needing the least. I remember that there were factions in the game that you can join and they're waging war with each other and basically, your faction needs to expand the land you own by winning team fights. You can still grind the normal way without joining this war though. And there were classes like mage, warrior, thief or hunter.

I'm quite sure about the details but I can't remember the game for the life of me.. help!!!

Found it! It's Fantasy Earth Zero.. By Square-Enix

 

[Alicia Lim]

Hi all. I'm trying to find this PC game for a very long time. Last played is around 2003-2006? The game let you selects either a male or female character, and you can play two multiplayer at the same time. It's a kind of maze game, where you had to find the exit to the next map or something, while avoiding a creature or monster. If you bumped into them, you need to reset the stage ... The maps include volcano , sunny house , underwater, etc. there are stairs and ladders for you to navigate around. It's kind of a 2D Kind of game, kinda like maple story, but is pixilated and low quality. Haha. Please. Help me !! It's on my mind for a very long time. Thank you

 

[Djknife]

Your laying on the ground, a soldier dies and falls in front of you, a few seconds later bugs start crawling into his mouth (very weird, I know)

[balthaser]

Hey, so I really want to find a game I played when I was younger.

It was for Windows (95 or 98) and it was a worm game but NOT Worms! The only thing I can think was it was Worms for Windows or something like that.

You would have a level and you'd have to get a little green worm to get from the start to the end without getting killed on spikes or falling down gaps by dropping boxes which would make a bridge or allow it to crawl along the ceiling or turn it back the other way.

It also gave you the option of creating your own level creator.

Of course, any googling only ever brings up the big Worms games.

Hello again. Anyone have a clue about this? The screen was just a grey box and fairly simplistic. Not even as detailed as lemmings with environments. Just various courses you'd have to worm your way through and there were a selection of boxes that were on the menu at the bottom that you'd put in the path of your worm which was freemoving along. You had boxes which would turn the worm the other way, would build a bridge under you, would make your worm defy gravity and travel along the roof.
Some levels would involve you having to eat through I guess what were supposed to be mud which I think slowed you down a little bit.

Sounds like Majesty

Ok. There was this one really old game I used to play on Playstation 1. I can't remember the name, but it was about this dude that had a blue laser and was able to latch onto enemies and smack them into the ground. After smacking them into the ground a few times, they die and drop these yellow orbs. After collecting enough of them on a level, your laser will upgrade and become fiery red, increasing the amount of damage you did. That's all I remember really. If anyone can find what the name of that game was, that would be nice.

 

[DonutMunchie]

About 10 years ago, we had this PC game where you would buy creatures from a shop (possibly from a wizard?) and the creatures would drop gems that matched the color of the creature. I believed the creatures were one solid color and represented a element and their drops would have the elements symbol. So a fire creature dropped a red gem with a flame on it. You collected the gems by clicking on them or hovering over them (I'm not really sure) and then you could either sell the gems or they were money for you to buy more creatures and purchase upgrades (like drops are made faster and in greater numbers). The levels took place in forest areas that would change themes (normal forest, snowy forest, etc) every few levels. You unlocked creatures by reaching a certain level in the story and could buy however many you wanted each level. The shop was accessible at any time during the level and you could sell your creatures if you were low on money.

I cannot remember if there was an actual story line with villains or if something would come along and eat your creatures or if you had to feed the creatures.
Anyway, I'm hoping someone will be able to help me out. I've had this game stuck in my head for a few years and it drives me crazy not knowing what it is. I'd really appreciate any help I get

Bump

Easy, that's Wild 9.

 

[Glorzifen]

Here's a challenge for someone.

Bit of a long shot.

Description: I only played a demo which was quite short. From what I remember, it felt like an arcade-style rail shooter, like The House of the Dead or something, but set on docks or in a harbor around the year 1750-1850, either during the American Revolution, War of 1812, or possibly something to do with pirates. You have what feels like an old flintlock pistol and progress through the docks at night where enemies pop up from behind crates, windows, rooftops, etc. I remember distinctly someone would yell out, "God Save the Queen!" in the background at some point (I think it was just a standard piece of NPC dialogue the bad guys would shout).

Year: 1995 - 1998

Source: must've been on an old Mac shareware/demo disc that came with some magazine lying around the house

Other notes:

-pretty sure it was the same year and disc as a Quest for Glory V demo

-people are wearing clothes that resemble Guybrush Threepwood 2009 version:
http://garotagamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/evolution_of_guybrush_threepwood.png

-I really don't think this was a popular game at all, I have no idea why it popped into my head as I only played the demo a few times. That said, I've searched high and low for it and am extremely curious to see it again after all these years.

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks.
