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

[Radio David]

Here's a challenge for someone.

Bit of a long shot.

Description: I only played a demo which was quite short. From what I remember, it felt like an arcade-style rail shooter, like The House of the Dead or something, but set on docks or in a harbor around the year 1750-1850, either during the American Revolution, War of 1812, or possibly something to do with pirates. You have what feels like an old flintlock pistol and progress through the docks at night where enemies pop up from behind crates, windows, rooftops, etc. I remember distinctly someone would yell out, "God Save the Queen!" in the background at some point (I think it was just a standard piece of NPC dialogue the bad guys would shout).

Year: 1995 - 1998

Source: must've been on an old Mac shareware/demo disc that came with some magazine lying around the house

Other notes:

-pretty sure it was the same year and disc as a Quest for Glory V demo

-people are wearing clothes that resemble Guybrush Threepwood 2009 version:
http://garotagamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/evolution_of_guybrush_threepwood.png

-I really don't think this was a popular game at all, I have no idea why it popped into my head as I only played the demo a few times. That said, I've searched high and low for it and am extremely curious to see it again after all these years.

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks.

Redjack: Revenge of the Brethren. I remember that demo on a CD that came with Computer Game Strategy Plus magazine.

There's this game I've been looking for for years and have never been able to find it. I played it when i was young on my pc. it was the early 2000's when i played it but i had all sorts of games from different decades on my pc so who know's when it actually came out. It was an adventure platformer where you play as an egg going screen to screen. You would collect upgrades around the world that let you get to new places. The first boss was this like, cannon on a wall i think? You get an upgrade that lets you shoot fireballs at it. The game was kinda obscure and indie if i remember.

If anyone knows the game I'm talking about it would be greatly appreciated if you could let me know what it is!! I've been looking for it for 5 years now!

Could it have been An Untitled Story?

hello I have a game that I've been trying to find but didn't have any luck
if I'm not mistaken it's from the early 2000's and it has like a chicken logo in the desktop its an RPG,adventure,puzzle solving game and play a womens character dressed in black like scarrlett johanson from the movie avengers you start the game in a harbor arriving in an island I think and there is a castle I was trying to get in but never got to cause I didn't play it that long there are some knights outside the castle that help you and give you tasks and remember a knight standing outside a wc and wants to get in but there is someone inside,it could be a german game since grew up in germany and played it here, that's all I know

Here's a real challenge for someone.

I played it on my pc. It could be 98/me game. It wasn't big game, it was pretty simple. From what i can remember it was 2d shooter style with side view and it wasn't pixelated or cartoon style. You could also play it with another person on same pc, (maybe with more but i don't know this for sure). You could choose your skin.

It was set in apocalypse world, you're playing as a soldier.

You're killing demons,skeletons and flying creatures. Walking from stage to stage. If you completed the level you could buy better weapons and explosives.

When you run out of ammo there was someting like handsaw, swinging it around him and it make sound like actual motorsaw.

Controls: both players on keyboard

Hopefully someone can end my despair of finding this game.

It's a game that I played on ps2 a few years ago, on the game icon or the picture for the game had this strong man with a sword he rised in to the air and it was a tiger behind him as his riding pet, you spawned in a prison where you fought where you had to came out and in the spawn there was this robot you had to kill, then later inngame you go to like hell where you fight a boss. I think the mission was to like save a women. I don't remember the game's name so I hope someone will help.

That could be He-Man: Defender of Grayskull.

I've got two games I haven't been able to find in a long time. I reckon they are from the really early 2000s (my guess is from 1999-2004, can't really remember)
They're both 2D isometric (top-down) games.

The first game was an RPG on board of a space station or ship, not sure. You could control multiple characters and there were some kind of aliens and organic materials around, it might have been a horror game, not sure. I remember you could open doors and such, it was some sort of a "dungeon" explorer in a way. The characters had different sets of abilities...

The second one was also an RPG, but in this one you controlled only one character. You started off in some dirty slum-like city street and you could buy cyborg parts from street vendors (legs, arms, whatever). It looked a bit apocalyptic but I'm not entirely sure... Then you'd go out, possibly through a portal, to some desert and you'd shoot wierd, alien-like creatures. You'd grab stuff and go back to the city. There were probably more levels, but I only remember that one.

Neither of these was top-selling since I can't find them. I think they weren't really advanced since 3D games were already becoming a big thing. I've probably only played demos on some old disc. Maybe the games weren't even released? They were fun back in the day in any case.

Cheers.

Hoping someone and tell me the name of this one. I've been googling every few years when I remember it and haven't come close to finding an answer.

Mid 1990s. It was a DOS game I believe (we have a Win 3.1 computer). I believe the game started with some sort of accidental time travel. You end up in a medieval village. It was a top-down view, you could walk around and explore inside and outside of the village. The world seemed huge to me as a kid. In the village you could do things like make bread and such. The key of the story on arrival was that there was a brutal murder in the stables - a brown robe, lots of blood, etc. Cant remember if solving the murder was the purpose exactly...

Hope that is enough detail. It's been driving me crazy!

The second game might be "Restricted Area" (2004). It was been developed by a small German studio (with a two-game-portfolio),
so, yeah, internationally it didn't get a lot of coverage. A lot of Russian players seem to know it though. :-D

Personally I did find the setting to be interesting (Cyberpunk meets Diablo), unfortunately the combat was not.
The game also was buggy AF so eventually I gave up twice trying to play it for a longer time.

Thanks, you've guessed it! Now to waste hundreds of hours trying to download it If anyone else could help me with the other game, I'd be thrilled.

Have a couple of games I can't seem to find the names for one was popular in the 90s it was a quest/mortal kombat type fighting game, the weird thing was if you wanted to you could choose to be the person you were fighting to continue your quest for example the first guy you fight as a ninja is some guy with fans that does flips it would get interactive and let the characters talk to one another, when you defeat the fan guy the man character asks "huh... who are you?" that phrase seemed to be popular. The bosses you fight are apparently guys who have been hypnotized to fight you, once defeated they join your party, it was a multiplayer game. The other game is from the 80s you are a knight in a suit of armor on a quest and if something hit you a piece of your armor would fly off, if you were quick enough you could catch it, if not then you lost that piece.

Alien Carnage/Halloween Harry ?

Hi I cant remember this game; it came out about 2000s for pc and you started each map with some human warriors, elf archers and dwarf bomb throwers to fight undead it was 3d if I remember currectly.

 

[lolmeme38]

Hello people, hopefully you can help

So this is what i remember about this game. You were an alien doing something in your house with your friends and you go get something(maybe) and somebody comes in and freezes all you friends. You must get around him. Its a puzzle type game, and if you open the wrong thing(Like a closet) he will come out and freeze you. You need items to help your friends and get rid of him. Hope you can help!!

 

[shirora]

Hi! Please help!

There's an old game I played on the Sega Genesis (if memory serves me right) that I would love to play again but can't remember the name. You can choose one of four characters to complete a stage of the 2D side scroller game. You defeat enemies by shooting special powers (similar gameplay to Megaman). Each character has a different specialty. One is bald, one is a white-head that shoots crescent moons (or something that looks like moons, wind? Maybe the idea for their powers is the four elements?), one shoots fire and one shoots lighting (one of them is a girl, can't remember which one). I'm not sure how many different maps there were (six maybe?) but I think one of them is set in a modern city with robots, another in what seems like a temple. The game would have been released around late 1980s and before or in 1995. The final boss was purple and scary for a 5 year old.

Thanks in advance!

Must be either Bungie's "Myth: The Fallen Lords" (1997)

or its sequel "Myth II: Soulblighter" (1999).
