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

Ok, there are 2 games I am trying to remember but I can't.

The first game was a tactical turn based game in WW2. You would control a small squad of maybe 4 or 5 units and they would have their own characteristics. For example the sniper could take an entire turn to do a perfect shot that had a 100% chance to hit so long as the target was in line of sight. I know you were able to play as the Germans, but I do not recall if you could play as others. I think you were also able to upgrade equipment. This game came out between 2002-2004.


The second was a RTS set in WW2. I can remember 1 level and it was of the German campaign. You had this massive artillery piece that could hit a target from any point on the map, or at least almost any point on the map. But before you could use it you had to destroy 2 or 3 listening outposts that would have zeroed on the artillery and would lead to its destruction causing you to fail as you needed to destroy an objective. Again this came out between 2002-2004.

I can't remember the name of this old side scroller 2D rhythm PC game. It had 3D graphics but was in 2D. A very cartoony and colorful game. You play as an alien/creature, probably an astronaut, who automatically runs (you can't stop) and there are bubbles with arrows in them and each time you get near the arrow you have to press the correct arrow and then does a dance move. Each stage has different music/soundtrack. There were bonus levels in each stage that you jump on a trampoline and there are a few seconds where you have to press as many green arrows as you can. The world hub where you choose worlds looked like a maze. That's all I can remember. I played it like 8 years ago. Thanks!

There was this cd I used to have that had small, 3D games on it. It also had some listed at the bottom. The menu had them all in these rectangle boxes on a blue or dark purple background. One of these games was one where you had an alien in a field and you had to shoot these green caterpillar esq creatures that came down from in front. Another was a pretty neat mini golf game, another space invaders type game and a game where you hit a ball upward into blocks to break them all. There was also another weird game with planes I think, or ships but the setting was this blue ocean type thing that went on forever and you shot at other planes and the controls were confusing as heck.

Old puzzle PC game from 90s(?)
It's an isometric puzzle game, turn based in a way that everything moves only when main character moves. You control Indiana Jones type of guy, there are traps, spiders, jewels, doors. Action takes place in some kind of tombs, all the characters are tiny on the screen. I think in addition to isometric view, the levels are tilted, so things sometimes roll down. When spider gets to the square next to you, it uses web to put you in cocoon and you die. Plus - moving crates, I think looking for keys, etc.

Hey guys, great place you have here. I can't remember the name of this game for Windows I used to play around 1997-2000. It was a cinematic platformer with a game engine that looked very much like Abe's Oddysee. You could either play as a human trapped in a maze, who had to escape from a horned beast (can't quite remember how it looked like) through a series of doors and platforms or as said beast, who had to kill the human. It was some kind of mixture between Oddworld and Blackthorne. I think you could also use guns too... I've been looking for this game everywhere. ?Thanks in advance!

 

[markimoox]

i know my mom used to play this game but it was on the computer, was about making civilization and you were on an island as a tribe and they had like the grass skirts and what not, you could check on their status, make a family and i think there was a waterfall, it was also pixelated. i know it wasnt harvest moon at least i dont think or stardew valley, it was almost like that but very very pixelated and i THINK you could drag the little people around and make them do jobs. yeah im pretty sure you could drag them bc i think thats the only way for them to move. what game was it ugh

 

[Clint Daniels]

Ok, Here's one for yall that is going to be difficult. This has been driving me insane for 3 days now.

it was a top down (i believe or something very close to it), you were in a space ship or something and you could move around the area with jump jets. You had opponents that you shot missiles, napalm and nukes at. Something along the lines of Scorched Earth or Worms. I played it as a kid (we're talking 15 to 20 years ago now or a little longer) I believe it was an old DOS game on my grandmothers computer.

I'm looking for a puzzle arcade game for pc. It has a magical/enchanted forest theme. The gameplay is something like a pipe puzzle game where you rotate the pipes to complete the level. I think it was something from the mid-2000's because I was playing games like Diner Dash and other games similar to PopCap games.
Anyone know the name of the game? I really want to know this for so long 'cause I remember it's soundtrack/BGM so soothing and relaxing because of the magical forest theme.
Thanks

Ah, is it by chance "Fiber Twig"?

Yes, it is! Thank you so much for the info

This might be "Hunter Hunted" (1996).

Could it be Indiana Jones and His Desktop Adventures (1996)?
...I don't think it matches fully, but maybe I remember it wrong. Haven't played it ages.

Might be Virtual Villagers. Probably one of the first ones in the series.

Hello, i am looking for a game, i played it when i was quite young and cant rememeber too much of it but ill describe it as best i can. I am not sure whether it is for playstation or xbox or what console honestly, but you start as a young boy who bothers his neighbour a lot and the neighbour takes the boy and performs experiments on him and after that you can turn into this creatures, you go throughout the game using these creatures to solve puzzles and progress etc. One monster i can distinctivley remember is a creature that can turn into a ball and ride on these metals polls. Its not much to go on but the name of this game has been bugging me for a very long time and help would be appreciated greatly!

I'm looking for a puzzle arcade game for pc. It has a magical/enchanted forest theme. The gameplay is something like zuma, in that there are items advancing by themselves, but you need to take the pieces and complete a shape to finish the level (I think, not 100% sure), instead of just shooting after the balls. It's not spheres that are moving but odd 2D shapes. It was in the 2000s, can't remember exactly when...
The game was not with vibrant colours, more subdued colours (violet, dark blue...). The music was relaxing!
Thanks!!

This may be a long shot but it makes me think of one of three games: Puzzle Inlay, Magic Inlay or Fresco Wizard.
