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!

This probably is "Restricted Area" (2004).

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!
Hmm, what about "Cybermercs: The Soldiers of the 22nd Century" (1998)?

Pixelhunter.... I... I don't have the words, man! Lol. This is fact: you are the master, my friend! You. Are. The. Master. YEARS, dude! Thank you so much! Hihihihihi. The dragon king is free... or something....

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!).

[...]

It would be awesome if someone could name these two. I'm searching for these names for years!
"Devastation" (2003)

YES!!! That is Absolutely Right! Thank you!!

What about the other game? Anyone?
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:

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.

Hello.

There are two games I am looking for. One came out around the mid-nineties. I remember it was around the same time as Heretic and One Must Fall: 2097, both released in 1994. It was like this adventure platform game where you are wandering around inside a platform-level themed castle with potions and you could throw fireballs. It was permanently dark and there was this bald green-robed magician or wizard you are playing as. I don't remember the name, only that it was like a fantasy platform adventure game, and released in 1994 or thereabouts.

[...]

Does anyone know what these are called?
"...bald green-robed..." this brought back memories of screenshots I'd seen in a pc magazine, ages ago.
If I'm not mistaken, you're looking for "Mystic Towers" (1994).

Was there also ever a game called Mortar or something? Around the early 2000s.
There was eg. "Mortyr" (1999) and "Mortyr 2" (2005), both first-person-shooters.
Or an actual "Mortar" (1998) which was a game similar to "Scorched Earth".

There's this one game I played as a kid in the early to mid 2000s. It was a driving game where you would have to pick certain paths or tunnels to go down and there were pit stops and maybe weird characters along the way. From what I remember it wasn't on any typical games console but I had to plug it into my tv with a the red, blue and yellow ended wires. Another thing is that I don't think it was pixilated but it had more 'smooth' finish, it seemed very age appropriate (for a 5 year old) and that's honestly all I can remember. I think my mom just gave it away a decade ago.

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 :)
Bump Adding some details:

- Quickly you can enter in a castle (or maybe just a mansion) where in one of the corridors/rooms there is a medieval armor. Interacting with the armor results in a bat coming out and bite you to death :(

Here's a game I want help looking for. It was around 1996. It came with the Spiderman Cartoon Maker, I think. It like this small house with mice in it, and a scene with those old fairy tales about jumping over the moon or something, you could change colors for your horses or something, it talked about Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz, etc, etc. Does anyone know what that is?

the game for the ps1 that I am looking for, it starts with a weird cutscene rotating around what looks like a big greek temple above the sky and the clouds, then a number of weird shadow creatures are seen standing in the hall while being approached by a bigger shadow creature with bright red eyes, the female Main Character then shows up with her friend a blonde girl and start talking about something, if I recall it correctly the main character is a girl with black/ dark brown braided ponytail hair almost like Lara croft's hair, and she uses a sword to fight off demons and other creatures, and she uses from times to times what appears to be a flying steel/ stone dish to kill off enemies from far away, a number of times the enemies will hold hostages in front of them, and if you get too close the enemy will kill the hostage, each time you reach a mission's ending the main character will jump a high jump and for some reason she'll just give you an opened view of her rear end, and if i'm correct as well as you progress your friend will be captured and you'll have to fight off a boss that looks like a man, but after confronting him he'll turn into a beast with a goat's head if i'm right and he'll attack you from the shadows , reaching this point here my memories stop , are those hints enough ? or you still need more? btw if you use a spinning horizontal attack sometimes the girl will scream stuff like [ lolololololol]! and when you attack vertically sometimes she may scream [ hiya!!!!!] that's literally all info I can recall

can anyone tell me if they know anything about such a game?

Ok so this just hit me. I am looking for what I believe to be an online animated game. It involves your character travelling around to different periods of time and various locations such as Greece, Vikings, and Leonardo Davinci to find items hidden in each dimension of time. I also remember an African part where you take a plane from Nairobi and fly to different locations in Africa. There was also a factory that had an evil bunny trying to go to the moon or something.

The characters had stick arms and legs with full body shapes. Another location I remember is a sewer level where you navigate the different parts of the sewers and maybe fight a monster or two. I can visualize the characters but for the life of me cannot remember the game.

UPDATE:: It's Poptropica!!!

i've had this browser game on my mind, it was a game where your units grow automatically and you can send them to attack other AI nations and you could take over their bases and make more their but they could take it and yours from you. there was also a giant turtle boss about halfway through the game.

Maybe 10 years ago i played a game that i think was called "Gangsta".

It was a 2D animation (look a like sidescrolling) game, with small bodies, heads and hand like a dot - most simular with the game "Beat the Boss"..

It was played on the Internetbrowser on their internetdomain.

Of what i remember you could upgrade stats by fighting others. You could buy stuff like caps, armor, shoes, bling-bling neckless' and ofcause a lot of weapons..

Please.. Is there someone out there can help me find out what the name was and maybe where i can play it :)
