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 :)

Only played Demo and memories might be altered over the years.
I think somewhere around 95-99 but I can be very wrong on that.
RTS game where you collect resources (minerals?) with tanks you can modify, changing guns and more which effects cost.
Some if not all structures can be packed up and moved like slow trucks. Believe command center for one race looked like a big cat, also I believe when one structure were finished that structure came out from the cats mouth.
Futuristic/alien themed.
I believe looks similar to KKND
Complete shot in the dark, but would it be Total Annihilation?

Ok, so I made this account to find out old games I wanted to remember

I was about 7 or 8, maybe 9, too long ago to remember, I played this game at the Boy's & Girl's Club in their PC room and it was like a hovercraft/tank style game, it was futuristic themed, 3d graphics, and I remember that you could switch between 1st and 3rd person view and there were enemies that flew, opposing tanks/hovercrafts that would attack, you would get some power ups every so often. That's about all I could remember, please help me out
Sounds a little like Hover!, but without flying enemies. Knowing what year you played this would help.

Hey, I'm also looking for a game that I used to play when I was a kid. You would be in control of a robot and they would battle each other. I played it on ps2 but the disc got scratched and I had to throw it away, but it was A LOT like pokemon. It was 3D and when you weren't in a battle you controlled your character. If I remember right I think the robots had a weakness system that was literally rocks paper scissors, instead of fire, water, etc. If u can help me find it out it'd really help, thanks. And btw I alrdy tried looking at sites like "top 10 pokemon knock-offs" and it wasn't any of those.

PS2 narrows it down a lot. I've played just about all Pokemon clones and that one doesn't ring a bell.
Super Robot Taisen: Original Generations kind of fits, but the PS2 version was only released in Japanese...

I don't suppose you're thinking of Front Mission 4? Not Pokemon-like, but that's the closest that I can come up with. Unless you remember it wrong and are actually thinking of something like Sakura Wars or Steambot Chronicles.

Searching for an old game, kinda 10-15 years old, it was for win xp. It was on a cd of a german magazine called "Computerbild Spiele" with the Top 100 Games.

- Played a girl with various weapons, getting upgrades by beating bosses or doing puzzle/parkours.
- Enemies like, demons, zombies and others in a destroyed city or later in hell(Mario fireball easter egg can be found there and used).
- Also there was playing some awesome rock music the whole time, e-guitar like.
- As far i can remember it started while beeing in the church and suddenly there was zombies and demons coming into it.
- Graphic style was retro, 8bit, with blocky landscape, 2d, sidescroller, platformer.

Hey guys,

Im looking for a game wich i played around the year 2000 i think. it was for PC and it was a game where you had to destroy the opponents building (with your team made up by other random online persons). you had i think a commander on your team (and on the opponents one) wich could give you extra boosts. it was im not 100% sure a first person game where you could chose what unit to play. playing a unit costed some kind of currency that you made in the game. there where different units from small melee's to kind of demon like creatures. I feel like it was kinda MOBA like but i realy cant remember that much:( i hope you could help me out a little bit here:D
Sounds like Command and Conquer Renegade

Hi,
I'm looking for and old "game" if you can call it like that where you could simply mess up with your desktop image by shooting rockets, erase it with a funny eraser, paint it, shoot with bouncy balls and a few more things. I think there was a thing for every number from 1 to 9. Idk how to describe it more corectly, i dont remember much. Thanks!
There were a couple of those programs, with the most popular being eg. the "Desktop Destroyer"

or the "Desktop Toys".

Probably one of the Jill of the Jungle trilogy. Epic MegaGames, pretty much everyone who had a PC back then played those.

Sorry for my english, at first.
Okay, my game was played 2008-2013, must have been played in ClickJogos.com.
Was a girl that come home from school, and no one is in house. Someone have killed her family. She needs to solve the mistery.
The only thing I remember is when she goes to the bathroom, she founds the head of her dad/mom, and when she goes to the bedroom, the villain is under the bed. Apparently it's a afro girl, I think.
It's point and click, 2D. Please help me. See you guys ;)

I think that's "GunGirl 1". Get it directly from Paul Schneider's website.

I'm looking for a game I played when I was little. I think it came out in the late 90s or early 2000's. All I remember is putting pieces of quotes together, or octagonal pieces with three, different colored triangles in it and you had to match them up together and with the edge of the board; it also had its own version of Pipe Dream in it; I also remember moving different objects to make laser beams get from where it started to where it should finish. It was on a CD-ROM. Any ideas?

Old PS1 game, it played like a gritty real life bomber man, it had two levels, first one the end boss was what looked like the modern day tank and the level was like a wartorn city. Second level was futuristic, kinda tron looking and the boss of that was some odd spider like tank. It had a demo disc with these levels in the old PS magazines.
