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

[Hello_]

Hello! Sorry for my bad english.

There was a medieval RTS game like Age of Empires where you could play a campaign (i think). If I remember corectly there were 2 or 3 choises - the first choice was that you were starting in a forest only with a knight riding a dark horse, his flag was red and then you could reach a friendly town having the flag color in very light blue and that town was having an air baloon flying over the town, and the peasants or constructors were wearing white with brown pants (i think). The 2nd choice was starting in a medieval town that you could control, the peasants or constructors were wearing grey with red and they were automatically collecting seeds, and then after a while you would be attacked by another faction. The 3rd choice (here im not sure) you would start with a knight on a white horse, the horse couldnt walk, only run, and the knight color orange and the place where you would start was in a destroyed village only with a few peasants remained.

The game had also some kind of pope or a church guy that could change the color of enemies flag intos the players flag.

Dang, I have one. I can't for the life of me remember what console it was on, either, I think either PS1 or N64, maybe even earlier, though I doubt it. You controlled a girl (I think wearing green? With brown hair?), and the only part I can remember is running through a dark series of caves, and to recover health you had to eat stuff that looked like chicken wings, which were visible on the floor to pick up (I'm pretty sure there was a sound effect of her wolfing the chicken wings down). There was a ridiculous boss somewhere in the caves, too, and he was pretty tough, but other than that...

Nothing. Dammit. I played it very briefly at a friend's when I was six or seven, and have never seen it since.

I think the game is excalibur 2555

 

[fooentes]

very cool this exists.

I've been trying to find this game name over the last years but I couldnt.
I played it on my dad's PC like 18/20 years ago and I think it was some kinda of demo, because I (as a little kid) could never progress.
I remember you controlled a guy in a 3D home or office, but I don't remember if it was first or third person. You could open doors, and interact with objects like cabinets, sink?, bed, just home furniture.

I think it was some kind of escape the room but I'm not sure.

Not much details, I know. Sorry

Im going crazy, please help me remember, it was a PC 3rd person shooter game, it was a girl in a black tight suit, she hada gun embedded into her hand (Metroid like) and looked kind of arcady, you could use a parachute that looked funny.

Good evening to everyone. I'm trying to remember an arcade game about early 1983/1986, probably platform or shooter with a blonde girl probably with pink dress kidnapped/ screaming help, purple/black car. I know these are little information but long time ago i remember i found an answer here. I also found a small video on youtube (there are not any longplays). Game is japanese with strange title, probably 1 or 2 words.... Hope this will be helpful. Thank you all in advance!

Reposting because I've been dying to find this game and have yet to see anyone solve it -- it's a math computer game from the 90s -- and the person who posted this had a pretty good description:

"There was a female cat character who guided you through the activities and made bad puns that varied from one activity to the next. Each activity had a specific theme in addition to the subject it taught: the first one taught patterns and the theme was a prairie cottage/house where you used shapes to make quilt patterns, another was an alpine ski resort teaching multiplication where you solved problems with cows in balloons and hang gliders, another area was an eastern bazaar where you balanced scales to teach solving for variables, etc." There was also a part where you made smoothies/juice for a toucan?

PLEASE I can't find it anywhere! No google searches have come up with anything.

In case anyone else is wondering I dug deep on Reddit and found the name: Reader Rabbit Interactive Math Journey! Woo

Hi,

I am currently also cracking my brains out trying to remember the name of a combat racing game I used to play back in the early 2000s. I am not sure when the game came out but it was definitely on a windows platform.

I have searched online and I am quite certain that it is not Death Rally or Re-volt and certainly not many of the other popular combat racing titles that would easily come up on google.

Here are some of the details that I can remember.

1) Like many racing games, you start off with a bit of cash and can slowly upgrade your vehicle or get a new car as you progress. You can buy weapons like Gatling guns to rockets and missiles. Aside from that you can also buy traps like oil slicks and some others which I can't remember.

2) I generally recall the game being a top-down racing game but it may actually just be a third person / top-down type as I remember being able to see quite ahead of me and the angle seemed top-down. Perhaps it was somewhere in the middle.

3) I remember the first car being somewhat like a square version of a Volkswagen Beetle type and you progress upwards to a car that somewhat resembled a mustang. However, I definitely do not recall the game naming those as actual cars, meaning that it was not like a need for speed or other car games where the cars in-game represent actual cars.

4) At some point you can also just use a middle tiered car that you purchased and fully upgrade the engines and weapons etc and you can still win races. But at the harder levels, I remember there being a Van vehicle as well, and the van vehicle would allow more capacity or something like that. But other vehicles would be perhaps more maneuverable but less weapon capacity.

5) I know that there were some blue rockets and they would home to your target. Also, at the very late levels, you would jump to the Moon to race there and now you have to another factor that comes into your races which is gravity. I can't recall if there were any jumping type of power ups along the roads that would boost you forward like many other games but perhaps there was, just that I can't remember.

6) I recall being able to be ahead of the computers and when you past them on the track as they lag behind, you can still shoot them if you are fast enough, and vice versa.

I am sorry if the information I provided is not detailed enough but I would really know the game when I see it but I just can't seem to find it.
The graphics are not fantastic but you can definitely see the bullet trails when you fire the Gatling gun etc and the black oil slicks you can spam on the road. And all hell breaks loose when you start the race because everybody is just spamming their weapons.

There is no multiplayer if I recall.

Thanks, and I hope you guys can help me find this childhood gem I used to play!

Hi ^^

Well ,i'm not sure but check those:

- Zombie Driver HD, this game have a campaign: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUWeT9P7Krw
and a race mode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mvUKB4M49EU

- Kar-Nage a old freeware http://www.homeoftheunderdogs.net/game.php?id=2794
- Rock N' Roll Racing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=55Pk2qNVvKk&t=1490s

Once again i'm sure,but it worth a try.

 

[rustyboy1992]

Thank you for the reply. I will check those out. I remember it being a CD-game though.

Edited - It isn't Kar-nage or Zombie driver. Kar-nage's graphics and playstyle is too much like NFS games which was not the game I used to play, as far as I can remember.

Rock-N-Roll racing is also not the game, graphics on that one is too old. Thanks though!

Maybe: Gas Guzzlers https://youtu.be/7U8EXrO_SuA?t=38

You also have a Gattling: https://youtu.be/7U8EXrO_SuA?t=267

Also you can use oil on the others cars in this game.

Hey guys,

Im searching for a game that is what i think advanture/RPG and has top-down view but still kinda 3d ish but also still pixellated.
You were a hero that had a sword, the battles were "realtime", you had multiple regions where the first ones were a forest and after that a cave.
in the forest there were enemys (dont know what they were), after that you went into a cave were there were slime enemy's and at the end a bosslike big bat, after that i dont remember much but i do remember that i got stuck because i couldn't find any goggles.
Thanks in advance.

 

[Willi Brown]

hey
im seraching for a game with 3 characters, 1 of them was a female that have transformation powers,the second was a blue dude with duel swords, and the third guy i cant remember. the game is a third person and i think the game was on the ps2

 

[Ogoid]

I don't recall the main character being female, so probably a long shot here, but... maybe MDK [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFvlAuX65K8]?

This is just total bullshit, i have been waiting here for weeks and no one has ever read my god damn comment or even thought about answering my fuckning question. all i am looking is for 2 flash games and thats it. the games are described below

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.

I understand your frustration, but if people haven't responded it's probably because (like me) they can't help you; the thread is already big enough without people posting just to say "sorry, I got nothing".

 

[dantitk]

Hello guys,
I'm trying to remember the name of the game that I had when I was a child. Something about 99-20's
I think name is Gangsters but I can't find anything related with this title.
Basically game begins when some mob arrive to the town by ship to harbor. He has nothing and he needs to build his way as a mob. All characters are rounded(fat) and small. If you want to fight you need to bubble with body. Also you can buy a new mob suit to have more health and respect.
Also In the first level there are cops walking and if you want to kill them you need to do it in the shadow. This game plays from top view. Like RPG or something like that.

Sorry these are my only memories about this game. Maybe somebody will recognize this game

 

[Juan Pyro]

I think you are actually referring to Gangsters 1 & 2. It sounds quit similar to what you're talking about. I used to play it myself.

The game I cannot name is an old 2D game where this alien had eyes for hands if I'm not mistaken. It wasn't a side scroller.
Anyone know which one it is? Probably from around 15 years ago or even before.

 

[braves13]

So I remember playing this game in 1996 for the PC (interactive fiction). You wake up and are in your cabin aboard a spaceship. It's a text driven game, early rpg, where you collect items to eventually (I think) escape whatever planet you've crashed into. I remember the game had some back talk if you typed inappropriate things.

It was not Planetfall, despite it sounding like this.

For more description. There is an image (static) on the top screen, and you type your commands below it. So if you looking at like a glass, an apple, and a ruler and type "pick up apple" it will put it in your inventory. Basically it was set in space and you were solving puzzles, etc. It's sad to admit that this game pops into my memory, and I can never remember the name.

 

[Falco1]

I'm searching for an old game that i played in 2001 but I'm 100% sure it was developed in the 90s it was a 2D game the main character was small green looked like some kind of mutant because at the beginning of the first level in front of the character there was a rolling barrel with radioactive sign.The background as i remember was black the place looked like a jungle with a trees and the "green mutant" should jump over barrels ,traps,climbing the trees..When the game was launched before beginning to play before showing any menu there was again a black background and the screen was fulfilled with theese green small "mutants" that is all that I remember about the game.

 

[MaliceWonder]

I briefly remember parts of this game where you were a ninja or samurai dressed in white. I remember a specific scene of having to go up and down this river/waterfall on the sides and collecting these little blue lights that were items for what I believe were upgrades for your sword or something of that nature. That's all I can remember. I'm pretty positive it was ps1 or even prior to that. If you can help me. I'd greatly appreciate it.
