Hey Guys, There?s this game i have been trying to find for years, with no luck. Mostly it?s because i have very vague memories of it But i decided to try my luck here anyway.
beca
I remember it being a NES or a SNES game. I remember it was all in either chinese or japanese. You play as a guy or a kid (maybe with wings?) who could either shoot fireballs or had to avoid them. I was very young so i don?t remember much at all.

BUT! the most clear memory of that game which i have been trying to find the game through is that one level or a boss fight was a sort of a game show where you had to answer questions to beat the stage. I remember this because my friends big brother back in the day had to memorize where the right answers were since it was all in chinese or japanese.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Trying to find this one for my daughter. About ten years ago on a free game site like yahoo games, etc. It was a very addictive game. You played as a ball attached to a rubber band, or cord, and had to swing it around knocking other balls ot of the feild of view, scoring points for how hard and fast they flew out. Then every so often you would fight a "boss" a larger ball with a protective shell. If you beat the boss, you could upgrade your ball and cord. I have searched online and cannot find it! Please help.

Hi!

ive got a game thats been stuck on my mind. It was about 10 years ago. All i remember is some kind of green creatures with just a few hair on the top of their heads (kinda like Peanut :D ) and i think they worked in some kind of mine or sth. When you didnt make any move they looked at you saying "work work". I had just a demo version and unfortunately I dont remember anything else.
Oddworld: Abe's Oddyssey?

well the game is like this. it is a PC games
1.you are controlling a yellow thingy unit and make a village
2.it will need energy to build, so you need to grow apples
3.it play the sound "nyum! nyum!" repeatedly while eating the apples and sometimes it will reply with"why not" when you give a command.
4.the yellow thingy will die if you order it to make a wall because it will use all of his energy when building a wall.
5.the enemy is a blue alien.

Hello guys umm I used to play this on Windows XP (somewhere around 2005) you play aa alien that kinda looks like raindrop it was 2d side scroller. I think in the beging of the game you crash land with his space ship while he was running away from someone/something. Anyway you could buy better suits like "mecha" and "ninja" thats what I rember also you threw some orbs to kill enemys you had 1 or 2 at the beging but later on in the game you got more also last boss was some big robot or something... I know its not much to go on but if anyone knows name of I would be grateful

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.

Hi, I saw all the helpful people in this thread, and I made an account just to hopefully end my search for this confounded game. XD

It was a 2D, sidescrolling action platformer for MS DOS (or Win 95, but I'm pretty sure it's DOS) where you played as a police officer (or a detective or something) and his dog. You could switch between them at the click of a button. When you start the game, you're greeted with an episode select screen disguised as your officer walking around a city. Walking off screen to the left was the only option I remember having to get into the game, so I must have had a shareware version of this game.

The first level involves your officer and dog walking into a bar and taking down numerous gangsters. My memory is hazy, but I remember there being various pool tables, elevators, and stairs that you could navigate the various floors of the stage with. Your officer and dog both had health bars, and I think the goal was to eliminate all the enemies before moving onto the next stage (I never got past this first level, as my 5 year old self was more interested in role playing around the level until I died.)

I owned this shareware game on CD-ROM. All I remember about the case and title was there was an shadowed image of the two protagonists on the front of the case, and a golden badge on the back that said "K-9."

Can anyone possibly help me find this game? It's been bugging me for years. I knew I shouldn't have given it away in Kindergarten.

Hello. So, i was playing this game like 10 years ago. It was something about a water drop, the main character. That had 3 classes. First was the normal. Second was cactus, which regenerate your life. The other one was ninja, which allow you to doublejump. You had like 3 easter eggs which you had to collect them through levels.You can throw them and return like boomerang. Like in super mario, the fireball. In the beggining, i remeber you land on earth i think from a space capsule or something. And you had alot of levels. I remember there was a boss battle in a laborator. You fight a man in a giant robot or space ship. There was some jungle levels where the enemies was some tiki thing. I hope someone has played this game and can give me the name. Thanks
The name of this game, I believe, is Glace. I remember finding it on caiman.us before the owner passed away.

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

Me and my brother used to play this old old game, I think on an old mac. This was the classic click and play kind of thing with possible typing (pick up item etc) From what i remember it was a space adventure game. I remember being on some platform with crew? that crashes and you end up in a swamp. Spent the last few years asking around casually and scraping the internet but no luck. Please, someone has to know what im talking about!!!!!

Hello, i have been looking for a game that used to play when i was little. It is on the PS2 for sure. You basically raised and trained monsters. You go to an area in the menu that lets you get a new monster. When you do this you take the game disc out and put a movie or another game in. The game or movie gets scanned and when you put the game disc back in it give you a monster Ranked F to SS.
It would be lovely if someone knows this game.

This one has stumped me for almost 15 years, it'll be a miracle if anyone here has heard of it.

It was a multiplayer game which may have never gotten out of beta. I played it before EQ came out so it was 1998 or early 1999. It was a team PvP game, a sidescrolling action game where you had objectives and classes. I think it involved hacking/stealing data and interacting with consoles.

One of the player classes, which was also my favorite, was the Lazarus...which as the name suggests auto-resses you shortly after death, once within a time frame.

I played it like crazy and remember so little about it, including its name. What was it?

edit: While trying to dig this on my own with companies whose names are familiar, I vaguely remember the Cendant scandal of 1998 and why that mattered. I also played The Realm at the time but I wonder if the mystery game was an unreleased Sierra title.

edit2: Found it! It's called "Silencer": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silencer_(video_game)

Probably one of the games in the Monster Rancher series.

Hello, all!

I am actually trying to remember several games but finding the name of at least one should lead to finding them all.

I used to play a PC game that I played on my old laptop that had several different games on it. The first that I can remember is a pet shelter game where you take care of the animals and then match them up with the right family to adopt them.

The second was a magical forest type game where you rode around on a unicorn and did quests. I remember trees with magical fruit that looked similar to like, plums and mangoes but they would be golden or something like that.

The last one that I can remember was a game in which you trained a horse to race by going through obstacle courses and trying to perfect the course as much as possible.

There were several other games on the disc, but these are the main ones I remember.

Thanks!

Hi!
I used to play this game in the late 90's/early 2000s. I used to think it was part of Spy Fox: Dry Cereal. I'm not sure but probably not. But, I remembered it came in a yellow cardboard case. It was 2 disc and one of the discs was set in this hallway it was like cyber/3d/grungy/sci-fi. I think you can click on the different rooms and one room had a tv with static and you clicked it was possibly a brick breaker game where it was in the city and things and/or cars would drive past to block the ball from hitting the blocks. I'm not sure if the game was 3d or you had to wear 3d glasses.
I hope this helps to answer my question. Thanks.

Hi people!

Last night I had a dream with two old games that I used to play/watch my friend play when I was a child, and now I'm struggling to find this games.
First one
It was a old artillery game (like worms), that I used to play back in the "200 in one CD" era. It was in space The planets where 2D, and where mostly like just a textured circleThe weapons where bombs of different sizes the "explosion radius", and some weapons where digging bombsThere was gravity rules, so you can use a big planet to guide your missiles
Second one

A point and click game (Windows 9x era)
Used to watch my friend play, so I can not remember the mechanics
Horror themed (I think so, it scared me at the time)
The story was about a guy who lost the GF, and the girl was abducted by some alien or evil force
There was a scene where the guy looks at the bottom of a water glass and see the face of the villain
There was a scene where the guy is tied by his arms in a electric-like rope
There was a puzzle containing wires in a box that must be put in some order to unlock something
The end of the game where in the guy apartment, when it finds a letter


So, if someone can help me find this games, I will appreciate! Tanks!
