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

[Toh Chen Long]

I have a really vague memory about this game
It was something about a dragon, you start off as a baby dragon then u slowly collect eggs or something to evolve.
There are 3 stages; when you're a baby dragon, you can't fly, as you evolved to mid-stage you get to fly for a small distance (if im not mistaken) and when you becomes an adult dragon, you get the ability to fly.
Its a 2D game, Im not too sure whether its a computer game or gameboy game as I used to play gba games on computer using emulators.
Can anybody help please?

Hello guys.

First, sorry for my english, im not a native...

So, these days i was trying to remember a game that i played when i was 5-6 years old. Im now 19, so its been a long time ago.

It was for computer, and it was kind lika an adventure game, you should do the missions and complete the game.

So here is what i remember of it.

The character wear something blue and he got big hair (i think, i dont really remember it)
There was a Dragon in this game, and in some part of the game, the dragon get sick, and you got heal him. So you got found a item to heal it, and when the dragon its heal, some Heart come out of it, like an emoticon on top of dragon. (I think the item was a flute, but im not shure about it.)
There was 1 mission that i remember where it was something like inside a house, a room, or a castle, or something (i dont remember, i only know its inside somewhere), and you gotta walk trhough an invisible GROUND, and you got follow the right steps to not fall. And you got get to the other side. If like you gotta turn to right and you move to left, you fall and got start over again.
The camera of view in this game it was something like MU Online, you know? You see from the top of it...
Like this game: http://4.bp.blogspot.com/--PcXFImJQ1k/VbfnkTgSz9I/AAAAAAACAfI/_TCpKboP0uo/s1600/Grandia%2BII%2BHD%2BEdition%2B-%2B07.jpg (the camera) I think this kind of camera its called Square, or something.

So guys, can you help me? I've been looking for this game for like years, and never founded... i tried a lot

Hi guys.

I just registered to find out the name of a game I used to play when I was very young. My mother also played it. She probably wouldn't know what I'd be talking about if I asked her, though.

This game is from one of those memories that are from very long ago and its just a single 'frame' you stare at in your mind. All I remember is it is a platformer game. I believe you could collect keys to open doors, too, to get further. I don't remember anything about enemies. I do remember (not sure if this was far into the game) a level with lava in it. You looked at your character from a birds eye view. Imagine Xcom, something like that, but it had nothing to do with strategy. It was just a simple platformer. I believe the character was a very simple white, baldheaded dude with either an orange or a blue t-shirt.

Not much to go off here. I'm still looking. It'd be awesome if you guys could help out a stranger relive some nostalgic memories.

Regards,
Bas

Yeah 22 years is a long time. So about 95.

Must be DOS than, if not on Amiga/Atari. Was it squared or Hex based?

If HEX than also Battle Isle comes to my mind, but that is more warfare like C&C than Civ.

Or Master of Magic (as the name says, more Magic than civ).

Do you remember anything else...?

All I remmeber is that you have legions etc.. ships but they are no ships just blocks with a picture of a boat.. legions or armies were like a horse chess piece picture.. in a blue hex I think.

I remember the guy also had command and conquer installed aswell so around that time maybe?

It's very vague.

Sean O'Connors Slay maybe?

I'm looking for a PC game that I played in the 2000's I believe, maybe as late as 2008? Some type of rpg (able to type chat with others), set in an alien type landscape comprised of blocks. I think you might have destroyed blocks or enemies of some type, and you collected the blocks automatically. You could use a portal to get back to your own home area that you built out of the blocks that you'd collected (dirt, rock, grass, water, etc). The characters were all animals of some type and in various colors (stylized alien-ish looking) and I think you could... combine DNA and make new ones... or hatch new ones... something like that, and they would end up/hatch out with differing powers/characteristics maybe? You could have several characters in your homeland but could only bring 1 at a time to the worlds where you played. I really do not remember what the goal was but I think you had small little tasks like collecting certain items/fruits and you would portal to different worlds or the same worlds repeatedly to fulfill the tasks (you didn't exactly 'move on' from a world once a task was complete). Any help would be appreciated!

UPDATE FOR ANYONE ELSE LOOKING: Found the name by scrolling a list of MMO games on MMORPG.com. It was Faunasphere.

 

[Forgetfulvex]

When I was about eight or ten years old (Being sixteen now), I used to play this game online. It was a pixel rpg, and it was rather gloomy. You would care for this village, and let them create larger families, gather supplies and such, and they would age. As they aged, they would die off, and leave little gravestones behind them. They could also get sick and die from just being ill? I cant remember what it was called, would be super satisfying if anyone had any idea.

 

[Trumpetwall]

Excellent. Thank you.

 

[Trumpetwall]

An 80s arcade game.
First you played as a spaceman on the surface of a side scrolling planet. After completeing the level you then fight in your spaceship above the planet. Then you pick a new planet to repeat the process. Possibly the ship fight happened before the surface fight.

After all the planets are conquered, there was was a Space station level. After which hazy memory suggests the final boss battle.

Pretty sure that's Xain'd Sleena [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rtWYgrN75SM] (A.K.A. Solar Warrior, or Soldier of Light).

Excellent. Thank you.

I really hope this thread is not dead but but I'm trying so hard to remember this game where its a war setting between nations and the combat system is really interesting because it requires you to input different fighting command jab kick etc etc to make a new attack which can be saved and used in the future I realy hope someone can tell me what name this game is if it helps I played it on a PlayStation1

That is probably either Legend of Legaia or Xenogears.

I've got one that probably won't be solved! I have a pretty terrible memory (especially for placing the name of games when a level pops randomly into my head...), so I don't have many details. I did this a while back and people helped me figure one out. All I had was that there were guard towers in a ravine with some water and a base built into the side of a cliff and the first person to respond said it was No One Lives Forever which was correct! And I was about to replay both NOLF games anyway so I kind of wished I had just discovered it on my own. It worked that time with only slightly more info, so maybe this will be enough.

To start I believe it probably came out between 2000 and 2005 when I was between 14 and 19 years old (most likely 2001 to 2004, but that timeline could be severely off). And was on PC...I think. I will be saying, "I think" quite a bit since I can barely remember this, but it's driving me crazy!

So! I have a faint memory of a first person game (pretty sure it was first person) and the level I'm thinking of took place at a train station (I think...it was some sort of station...maybe? Hopefully?). I don't think you were supposed to use weapons on this level or maybe the weapon was holstered during the beginning? I feel like I had a passport or something to show to a ticket person. I want to say it took place in WWII, but it could have been any time. And the level seemed to be in daylight, possibly in a desert climate. I also have a memory of a level where I'm in the back of a truck shooting other trucks with a machine gun and I want to say that it was tied to this level (but that could be an entirely different game since that happens in about 20 games I can think of!).

I glanced at some full game Youtube walkthroughs of random games I played around that time and didn't notice the level, but I could have skimmed over it. I checked Soldier of Fortune 1 and 2, Medal of Honor Allied Assault, Call of Duty 1, and Return to Castle Wolfenstein. I'm starting to get skeptical that it was even on PC.

 

[innoin]

I just realized my previous post was a bit long. I'll try to summarize it.

-Pretty sure it's a first person shooter
-Probably came out between 2000 and 2005
-I believe it was on PC
-The level I keep having memories of was at a train station(or some sort of station)
-I think there was a window that possibly had a ticket person working that think you could show paperwork to
-It was daytime and a lot of brown colors and may have been a desert location
-I think you were supposed to lay low on the his level and either holster your gun or didn't have a gun
-Possibly a level where you're in the back of a truck shooting other trucks with a machine gun (could have been same level)
-...now that I'm thinking of it...it could have been for PS2 or Xbox, but I'm pretty sure it was PC

First time posting, and I've been wracking my brains trying to find this one.

This was an educational PC Game, my best estimate is between 1995-2000, I had it roughly the same time as Bill Nye: Stop the Rock! This game was devoted entirely to inventions, and one thing I remember about the intro was that the main character's name was Howard. The intro was something along the lines of a dramatic narrator saying, "Since the beginning of time, man [made a bunch of stuff, goes on to list a bunch of inventors] Edison... Tesla... Howard... *screech* Howard?!" And then Howard would say something witty, then the intro broke into a 90s rock instrumental before the main menu booted up. The graphics I guess were pre-rendered made to look like 3D images, but everything was from a static camera. Also it wasn't especially colorful like most educational games.

Anyways, there are three minigames in particular I remember:

The first was the garage, where you could build cars or planes. Both had you drag & drop parts based on real world vehicles onto a blueprint; I remember making a frankenvehicle from a space shuttle and a F-117. When you were finished, the vehicle would materialize on the platform like it was Star Trek. Then you could test the vehicle as a robot pilot would try not to crash it through nine different worlds. The flight path/road was always the same, the vehicle would simply crash at a certain point if you didn't build it correctly.

The second minigame was like the first, only instead of a vehicle you built what I can only describe as a kind of mouse maze. You had to get the mouse to the goal at the end using the parts available to you, which included conveyor belts and elevators, and all of the parts had to be connected to a motor and battery by using axles and gears.

The third minigame took place in a scrapyard, and you had to build an appliance by putting the correct parts onto a schematic. A robot arm would pull the parts up from the scrap heap, and if you got the right combination it would play an animation where the appliance would do its thing. One of the simpler ones was a vacuum cleaner, and one of the harder ones was a robot DJ.

If your invention tested successfully, you could go down to the patent office and Howard would type out a patent for you, which you could then print out.

Apart from being at night rather than night, that might be Soldier of Fortune II: Double Helix.

 

[Azlyn]

I will be very grateful if someone here knows what this game is called. I played this 15 years ago I think.

-It's a Japanese game released somewhere between 1992 and 2002.
-It's a cartoonish RPG real time tactic game (no city building element).
-Western Medieval Style
-In the beginning of the game, you are a leader of an army of around 12-20 soldiers.
-Your soldiers will form a circle around you when you order your army to move around.
-Later on in the story line, you can control more than 1 army.
-There are potions you can use to heal your army but I could be wrong.
-Map is 2D bird's-eye view.
-The army drawing style is similar to this (but not so fine detail): https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/d1/bb/ac/d1bbaca7192eca0b563dc040812447a8.jpg

Has anyone got an idea?
Thanks!

it was not either but thank you something else I remembered was the nations generals were on this chicken like thing probably like a calvary looks like the final fantasy chicken that we ride on on the first final fantasy games

 

[Shredzorz]

There's a game I've been trying to remember since I was about 6 or 7 years old.

Unfortunately, I barely remember anything about it. It was an RPG, and I think it was kind of roguelike-ish. It must have been from the early to mid 90's, and it was on PC. Pretty much the only image of it I can picture in my mind was a large grid of black tiles. I think you got to pick a character at the start, between like a barbarian and whatever else. And I think battles were automatically resolved, with a little popup telling you how you did. I distinctly remember fighting wolves a lot.

That's all I can remember about this mystery game. It must have been pretty obscure, because I've gone through lists of similar games but haven't been able to find it.

Thank you for your time.

 

[Daffa]

I've been looking for this game forever.

- the character was looks like egg / yellow egg / something yellow oval

- the first stage was in the jungle. There's a stone that can be pushed. There was a secret way through the woods (imagine the labyrinth's wall) to complete the stage

- one stage that i remember. There was dark, rainy, and sea around us. There was only one way to complete and it was closed by red-blue-green lasers.

- the camera perspective is top-down. The graphic was looks like minecraft, in my head.

Please help me, and sorry for bad english

 

[Arfrix]

I have one game that i tried to remember for the last few years, and unfortunately I still can't remember many details. I would be grateful if someone could help me.

So it's a third-person, 3D game that came out around 2000-2008 where (I think) you could chose a male or female warrior, and you had to fight a bunch of enemies to get to a boss and move on to the next stage. I remember that there was a mage that shot some kind of fireballs at you, and a bunch of small metal golem-like enemies that you had to defeat to get to one of the bosses. The boss was a huge version of these golems that you had to fight in an arena that looked like a boxing ring but bigger.

Also there was a mode that allowed you to chose an enemy you wanted to fight against, and one of the different arenas to fight in. I think it looked like it was set in a medieval castle-like environment.

Thanks

 

[Rasbane]

If any one can help, I have been trying to find this game for ages but my memory of it is very vague if you like a challenge. I'm almost. Certain it was on ps2. It involved constructing large spaceships for ship on ship combat based on a planet. The ships where very customisable with different turrets armor etc. There where two types of game play, ship on ship combat and planet movement. I have searched for ages on forums and have come up empty please help 🙂

 

[NullPunctuation]

I've got one, I can recall an early 2000s game that resembled a military/tactical shooter/squad rpg (?)

-fully 3D world, can't recall it was first or third-person
-there were four squad members, I think all were individually controllable characters
-the squad interface reminded me of Jagged Alliance 2
-at one point, you had to attack a military base (?)
-once saw a webm of it posted on 4chan, your controlled squad member was shooting past a car and grenades were thrown

Cheers!
