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

[DIAS36]

Hello.

I remembered playing an old space game like 12 years ago but i forgot the name of it,I know just the basic concept so i wonder if you could help me find it again.
So the game I played was on PC (I played it on windows XP) and it was a sci-fi,2D spaceship,action game.It looked like 90-tees graphics but I am not sure.The first mission was the tutorial and when you load up,it spawns you with a small black ship.After you finnish the tutorial,it unlocks a big yellow ship with a big black nose.You can upgrade different parts on your ship like the nose and armor.I remember that you can buy a lot of different weapons and upgrade them.The main objective was to get to the end without dying.
I hope you undersand me,my english is not that good and i did my best to explain the game,I just wanted to play it again and remember the old days.

So I remember this game extremely vague. I must have played it in the late 90's, it is a 2D platform monster/zombie shooter, with all kinds of monsters. I was 6 years old when I played this game so my memories of this are very unclear. I think I remember the colours of the game being cold but still harmonious and maybe a little mellow. We all got this game on a disquette and played it on a PC. hope this is not too far off the charts as a description and that someone actually knows what the heck I'm talking about. Regards.
Edit: It could actually look alot like the game Monster Bash but its probably a little bit more ''serious''..

There was a game I remember playing around 2000-2006 on the PC where you were this black robot walker with weapons on the side of its head (looked very similar to the Raven mech from mechwarrior); pressing the spacebar (I think it was this button) made the robot transform into a flying mode where its legs went up into its body. I remember playing on some sort of sand map, shooting infantry and other vehicles etc.

I also have a vague memory of what I think was the same game - a red, pointy and alien-like hovering ship that could also transform, this time it opened outwards and formed what looked like an aerial weapon of some sort used to bombard the ground below (again, I think). I also remember having to point and click to move the flying vehicle transformer thing.

I've been looking all over for this game for years, and I know my info isn't much to go off but if anyone could help me it'd be fantastic.

PS. From my memory, I remember a name - "Trans" (or "Tranz"), however upon searching the internet for this I have had no luck, which could mean I am mistaken. Good luck!

Was it EarthSiege 2? You said you found it... but what if some poor soul in the future comes looking for the same game?? [https://xkcd.com/979/]

Hi all. I'm new to the forum, and I'm having trouble identifying an old school arcade game that I remember playing as a kid. It came out in the late 80s and probably crossed over into the early 90s. I doubt there was a home port for the game.

The game play is in the vein of Double Dragon, Bad Dudes, Streets of Rage, Vigilante, etc, where you have to either rescue your girlfriend, or simply defeat the street gang who has taken over your city. The graphics looked similar to Violence Fight or Final Fight, but the characters were about the size of Double Dragon. Detailed sprites.

All I can remember about the game that made it distinct was that it had an interactive environment and that you can pick up defeated enemies and throw them at other enemies. One main thing I can remember about the game was that you can knock your enemies into scaffolding and knock it over, causing enemies who are standing on it to fall off, and there were items you could pick up like bags of cement or flour and throw them at the enemy, stunning them in a cloud of white powder.

I cannot remember too much else about the game, and I wish to play it again but I can't remember the name. Just recently, I thought it to be Vigilante, but after watching a complete walk-through on YouTube, it's not it, as it didn't have the toss your enemy, scaffold and bags of powder features. I couldn't even tell you who created it; maybe SNK or some company that put good definition and detail into their character design, but still maintain the animation look.

Sorry if this one will bug anyone who helps, but I am completely stumped as to what this game is.

Thanks to anyone who makes suggestions and helps out.

I'm not sure if it was mentioned before or not, but I cannot find information about this game for the life of me.
I had it when I was really young, I can't remember the exact age, but I'm sure I had a windows 98.
I can only seem to remember one part of it; a point and click educational game, where a green worm with glasses would read to you. He would sit on an arm chair as he read, and you could interact with him by clicking on things around his room. One specific thing I remember, is when you clicked on the spider web, a spider would read The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe (I think).
The game also had like a write your own story section and some other mini games I can't remember.

This has been bothering me for 2 years now, it would bring such relief if anyone has any information.

A green worm with glasses? That makes me think of the Richard Scarry books and Lowly Worm. Perhaps this? http://www.mobygames.com/game/richard-scarrys-busytown

Ah, no, but I have read this before, lol Brings back memories.
Thank you, I appreciate it a lot!

Hello everyone I recently remembered a certain xbox game i believe it was and you were a knight or some kind of soldier and you had this like grim reaper companion you were helping out. He sees souls trapped in a machine or something not big or anything like cartoonish and its your job as a soldier to free these souls. i think someone traps themselves in a cave too to help the person escape the monsters.

[Elihehehe]

This sounds like a clone of JezzBall (which in itself is a clone of another game, the name of which I forget.) Start looking there, perhaps?

Onefog Xonix is the name, i searched for jezzball and it is based on that game.. I was searching for half an hour lol.. Thank you very much, i really appreciate it

Hello everyone, I am searching for a game. Its protagonist is bugs bunny, in this game bunny at first runs slow but if you hold the forward key he will run faster. The setup of the world is in. Tree trunks can be used as tunnels, you collect carrots and to kill the enemy you have to jump on their head, if you touch them anywhere you lose life. One of the antagonist in this game hides in Ferris wheel and has multiple copies of him. You can use code to jump directly on higher level which you get at the end of each stage. Please help me to find this game.

Gameboy game?
maybe one of these

Hello. I remember playing this PC game about 10-15 years ago when I was just a little kid, where you were a magician fighting monsters. What i remember is that you could've played in pair with blue and pink magicians and single game with just a blue magician. It was third person, and camera angle was like you can see it in basketball games. It was level based game where you would walk on block-like ground, and monsters were unusual, I remember kiwi birds being one of the monsters. Every few levels you would fight bosses, where I remember a water dragon and a bunch of bees being some of the bosses. There were shops spread around the levels where you would buy stuff for your mage and make him stronger(stuff like spells but I am not 100% sure what exactly). There were boxes in levels and some of them could give you coins if destroyed. I really hope someone helps me find this game. Thanks in advance!

 

[sackbot2011]

ok i have some more information on a game I've been looking for:
You play as what seems to be a swarm of blue aliens where you made ladders by picking each other up so it was kinda like a puzzle game the tone was pretty dystopian and it was all pretty dark and metallic it was a side-view game on the ps3 i don't think there were any enemies or power-ups but i may be wrong. I don't know sh*t about the plot and the goal was to get to the other side of a level and then they were sucked by a "Vacuum"

Hi guys, I really need your help to find this game:

It's a 3D game I used to play it on Windows 98 or ME, I think It's between 93-96 cause I got it once in a CD with Virtua Cop - Virtua Figther 2 - The House of the Dead - Bubble Bobble 2 and many other cool games.

There are 4 Colored fish to select and many areas like amusement park or ghost town, It starts with a huge square grid, We are standing on one side of a square, Initially, the sides are in black colour, we can highlight it (the color will be specified with the player's color ) by moving around the four sides of a square, we can obtain scores by highlight more and more squares, there are also some tools along the pathway, like making others square disappear, they have to make all over again, and there are some monsters, they move all over the square grid, they are blocking the players way and there are also weapons we can use. This game can be multi-played ... which is very awesome, and the graphics and everything in the game is nice as I can remember.

plz help me get its name, much thanks..

I remember an older turn based shooter. You played as (English speaking) Russians I think. The game starts with you pulling up in a little motor dingy, and then you have to find a plank to cross a bridge. There we find mutants, and after investigating find someone still alive, and that the mutants used to be the previous team sent to investigate the area. I never beat it thanks to the disk getting messed up and throwing it put.

I can't remember or find anything about a game I played in elementary school.

The game was probably released between 1996-1999, and it was a 2D point and click puzzle/educational game I think. The basic premise of the game was to find a treasure before the pirates came back to claim it. You were on an island with a few different geographical features, including a volcano. I think you traveled between a main beach and these different locations to gather clues. Each time you traveled between a location, a pirate ship would appear closer and closer on the horizon. You had to deduce the location of the treasure, then purchase the necessary equipment to reach it. For example, if the treasure was in the volcano you would have to purchase a lava/fire retardant suit.

I'm certain this game was not Monkey Island, Treasure Mountain, or Treasure Cove.

Does anyone remember a sorta of online shooter game that wasn't fps but was like you're facing the character from the side? I think it was either wild west or atleast one map was wild west themed. It was also 3d animation IIRC.
