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

[athena87l]

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.

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.

Excellent. Thank you.

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.

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.

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!

[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

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!

It must have been fifteen years ago at least. It was a 3D game (with very cartoonish graphics) where you could wander around this city and rob buildings. Very puzzle-based, with guards that followed a prescribed path. If I remember correctly, you'd record your moves, then play it forward and see if your plan worked. Anyone remember this one? It's been bugging the hell out of me and I don't remember quite enough to pin down the name. The game was for the PC.

I would be happy if someone recognize game but as me can't remember name to write something more about it... also if u need some more info. please ask me, i don't know what more to say about it, but if you ask question maybe i remember something new that would help us find out

I would really like to find this game, i'm looking for it more than 2 years now ... thanks for any future help

Suggestions and Questions:

Q:

Did you play as a squad or a single robber?
Heist came to mind for the timeframe:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=81Ahk_YBjHA

A:

It's not Heist


Q:

Was it 1st person or 3rd person? What did your character look like?

A:

It was 3rd person and you played as single robber, also it was cartoonish... A character remind me to Gru from "Despicabble me" movie, but maybe little thiner than Gru.

 

[CallieW]

cant remember what game this was, BUT HAVE BEEN TRYING TO FIGURE IT OUT FOR A WHILE
I think it was back in the 90s, when I had my Windows 98 computer, I used to have a game that looked like Space Invaders, but it wasn't space invaders. It was some 3D Space Shooter, where you had to kill everything in the screen, collecting power ups, etc. Graphics were just amazing back then, and each level had a boss. Each level was orientated to a planet of our system.


Thank you to anyone who can help

 

[Canezila]

Late C64 or early pc game. Cira 1986-89...

- something about scrolls
- monks
- Buddhist statue
- butter or something
- borders falling and you had to avoid them... I always got killed

Does that conjure any game titles? I just am driving myself crazy because I can't recall this game!

 

[Niiopi]

Hello I'm new here hoping SOMEONE can help me find this game. It was a PlayStation one game and you would control around 3ish types of robots that would each have their own benefits, one was a two legged robot and another one was almost like a vehicle type of robot, meaning you drove it around, and I remember that you would face the same kind of robots in an "arena* type setting, I remember a desert type of environment and you could switch between the robots on a whim and when you did, the one you did not control would just sit there until you controlled it again. You could play two player which then the second player would control one of these robots that the first player wasn't playing as and I distinctly remember two kinds, there may have been more, and as I described above one was a two legged walking machine and the other you would drive around (which was so much fun), and I don't remember if they had weapons although I imagine they would. There was an element of puzzle to it I think as well.

I have been searching for the name of this game for YEARS, if SOMEONE could tell me what it is I would be forever grateful!

Thanks!

Can anyone please help me with this one, it's a tough one I know. Let me know if you need more info, I'll try to remember some more stuff.
