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

[helmonade]

I'm not sure if someone has already found this one, but here goes.

I'm trying to remember a game I used to play on the computer when I was like 7ish+? (born 1994). I keep thinking it's called The Magic City but nothing is coming up on Google. I think it was an American game because there was a mini-game where you had to give change in a ski shop and the currency was American. There were loads of different little sections on a map from what I remember, there was a circus bit where you could do colouring (like paint, just filling lines in, I think they only had red blue and yellow and you had to mix the colours to get others). Another one was a pipe game, where you had to get the pipes in the right order to have the water go through the tap properly. Another one was a bandstand where you could make different tunes with drums, trumpets, can't remember the other instruments. One you could build houses on (it was 2D). For some reason you could go into a house too, I vaguely remember a red parrot that if you clicked on it, it squawked, and on one of the rooms in the house if you clicked on the bathroom door a voice would say 'oh no! there's no toilet paper'.

I'm so, so stuck so any answers would be very helpful! I've been scouring the internet for a couple of days with no such luck.

It was an old PC game. All i remember was a knight and first person. There was a choice in the beginning to pick between two or three swords. Silver or Gold. I also remember it was point and click and we opened doors? Thanks!

Hey all!

Ive been searching for this game for a good couple of years now...
I played it i think in the early 2000's on PC - i think Xtra had a whole bunch of games?
I remember it being a Jimmy Neutron game but haven't been able to find anything with him...
So this game, you basically are controlling a remote controlled car through this house and i think the object of the game is to escape out the window. So you have to find the room that has the ramp to the window, you have a time limit but you can collect clocks around the house to give you more time. Also your car can run out of power so you have to collect batteries around the house. There are ramps up to the kitchen benches, beds and couches...

Any ideas?
Thanks!

I doubt someone would remember/find this game, if you do, you deserve commendations.

I played this game back in the 2008's-09's. It was on a flash website I think, don't quote me on that, and the game was a top down vertical, alien/bug, shoot 'em up, defend type of game. I think the name was something like Xeno Wars, or something with an X or Z. The main menu had a huge spider that was crushing a tank I believe. The game was really fast paced and used the song Race Around The World by WaterFlame. You played as a solider and you spawned on the bottom of the map, and you could buy towers/bases which would deploy men to help you fight. On the top of the map were pods of the alien/bugs and they'd spawn from them. To win the level you needed to destroy the pods and survive. After every round I think you went to an upgrade menu. I remember it being a pixel like game, probably 32-bit or something of that graphical design. I used to have it on my favorites but we got rid of the computer and the name has been killing me since then.

If any one can find the game or the name, you would make my year.
And to those who are looking to find it, good luck.

I remember playing a web racing game in which you raced other cars (NPC's) that had polygonal-ish graphics and you could do crazy stunts by pressing the "space" button and if you landed them you had a speed boost. You also could destroy other cars by ramming into them fast enough and that when you ran into walls/obstacles or when you messed-up your stunts your car got damaged and could blow up (your car would flash white and then turned vlack when it did). I also remember that you unlocked cars as you completed levels, and that you could drive a formula 1-ish orange car, a beige safari-ish car, a blue/black vintage car (like the fancy old cars that you sometimes see in cartoons) and many others (all of which had different stats like speed, resistance. The checkpoints that were on the ground were rectangular arcs and there were repair stations that were in the air were in a weird ocogonal shape. I remember that there were two of them and it's driving me crazy not knowing the name of that game, so if anyone knows what that game is please tell me! XOXO

Hi guys,
I need your help to find a third-person medieval rpg that I played somewhen between 2005 and 2010 on my PC (not sure whether was available for other platforms).
The plot of that game was really good, I remember that at certain point of the story a local lord dies and the main character inheritate a castle (become himself new lord).
Searching inside the castle it comes out that former lord was a time traveller came back from the future. Further in the story you discover to be also a time traveller like that lord (and others lord around the country because future people are all in high level position).
There are some mediaval weapons/armors made with future technlogy that are much better than old one (to differentiate them i remember something like "shining" in the name of items).

Anyone of you knows the game I'm talking about?

There's two old pc games I've been trying to figure out the name of.
The first is a point and click type of adventure game where it starts off with you waking in your apartment, but when you leave you realise you're on an alien planet. I think your whole apartment is there, or something like that. You have to try to figure out what happened, that's all I remember.
The second is also point and click. This one starts with your car breaking down at a gas station in the middle of nowhere. I remember at one point, there's a puzzle to use a broken payphone.
I'm pretty sure both of these games were on one of those old 1000 games discs. If anyone knows either game, I would really appreciate any information.

Hello! So I'm really trying to figure out this game I used to play. It was probably early 2000s maybe and it was on console I'm not sure if it was PlayStation 2 or Xbox, but it was an RPG style game and the character were animals dog, cat, etc. they all had individual powers like the cat was the only one that could climb up walls and she would scratch her enemies. They also had all guns they would use. I feel like their enemies were rodents.. but I'm not sure. They were definitely animals though. The y also all lived in a big house/spy place and had their own rooms. That's all I can really remember hopefully that's enough info for someone to figure out the game!

Thanks!!

The first game sounds like "Out of Order" (2003).

I've been trying to find a game that was most likely on Windows XP. It was a Pong/Breakout related game that used different powerups, like grenades, lightning bolts, and one that could freeze your opponent. The ball colours were blue, and green. It's just like Breakout, and if you break all the bricks on your side, the barrier separating you and your opponent disappears and then you could start breaking their bricks. I can't remember what it's called and I'm hoping someone knows what it is because I've been searching for months.

I guys, i remember to play a game in my cousins house, it was a fighting game for pc, but i can't remember the name (my cousin had this stupid habit of changing the icon names from the games, so that game was called by him "porrada" wich is one of the many ways to say "fighting" in portuguese (im from portugal)

the game was like 3d or something like that, it was a demo, so only had a female character and a male character avaliable, if i remember the guy looked like axel from streets of rage (i really don't remember that much) and it looked a litle like virtua fighter , but the stages (at least the on at the demo) had barriers arround the stage and you could climb them to hit your opponent from there, sorry for the bad explanation, but i really don't remember that much, just that i loved it

PS: for windows 95/98 max windows 2000 i can't really tell

Found it!

Hard to be a God is a role playing game with adventure and espionage elements.
The main hero is a graduate of a medieval secret service high school where he took the course of combat and diplomatic training. He?s strong, sly and intelligent, he is the most powerful person living in Arkanar, but his well-known world still brings surprises to him.
The highly developed Earth race governs the series of unexpected events in Arkanar. The main hero starts his new mission in co-operation with Earth forces. The agent gains access to incredibly advanced technologies. In his native underdeveloped world, he almost becomes a God.
How will it end?

hi, just joined as desperate to remember this game from what must be 1990-1995. All i can vaguely recall is;

- platform game, set on some form of planet (I recall you could effectively keep going one way and it would cycle back)
- set in space? Not sure. You could go underground into a gold mine I think
- could ride mine carts
- crates. Smash em and find things inside
- most memorably, flying on a rocket or jet pack. Rocket boots I think. Perhaps I was a road runner type character.

That's about all I recall, other than the joy the game gave me!

Thanks in advance.

I presume it rings no bells

That is most likely Booym.

[reader5]

it's a game i believe from early 2000s when iwin games where well known on the PC and games like luxur and zuma temple were well known
i can't at all recall its name but what i can recall is you play by organizing and mixing tiles that keep dropping from the ceiling kind of like tetris and there are those "worshipers" you could say walking beneath the screen your mission is to get a certain score in which you'll summon what looks like a lightning bolt and everyone will start bowing towards the screen, you get some upgrades to slow down the time the people down are walking away by getting hotdogs to distract them or making them dance or such. i can't recall the name of the game but i believe it's one maybe of iwin games any help please?

Hi guys
I've been looking for this game for a long time, but I just can not to find it.

It was an action/side scrolling(I think it was 3d) game of ps1. I think the graphics looked a bit childish but from what I can remember it was a bit gore. The most marking of it was that you had a lightning gun that could '' grab '' the enemies and hit them on the ground. This same shooter also served as a grappling hook.

Hey guys
Since one week, i've been looking a game which i played in the years 2005-2008 i guess. It was an adventure rpg game, which you fight with wild animals and enemies, i guess. I barely remember this subject. The main thing is that the game begins in a dark themed forest, you can choose your character by warrior or mage. Also the inventory management was different, you could carry less items, so you need to buy donkeys to carry your loot. The game is not divine divnity, my game was more beautiful by graphics and also realistic, there was no monsters. Also more dark forest theme. And lastly, the game i played was a demo version, so the finish was in front of a tower. When you try to entry the tower, the credits came and suggests you to buy the original game. I know there is so less information about the game and couldn't find it in the other forums, if anybody knows please dm me. Have a nice day ^^
