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

2 games both online

1 is a scrolling shooter platformer. you have to dodge obstacles and stuff. I believe there were codes for the levels. I thought it was called something like super boy or something...

2nd game was a game where you have a spaceship that you would need to enter the atmosphere of different "planets" i.e. levels in order to rescue prisoners. To do this you would have to destroy different turrets before you could try to land. then you could fly up and "leave the atmosphere" i.e. finish the level.

I remember a game that I played back around 2000ish timeframe

It was on PC, and it was VS team multiplayer

You controlled a vehicle that looked like a star wars speeder
The view was bird's eye, but there was a fog of war for a lot of the map
Essentially it was soccer in a maze, where you had to shoot a ball from your speeder into a goal
There were weapons that you could shoot opponents with
Graphics wise, it looked pretty pixelated (not surprising considering you could play with dial-up)

Hi guys,

Firstly, wauw this is a great thread, hopefully you guys can help me.
Second, you have serious spam issues, 20 pages of some indian (the country, not native americans) i don't know what to call it.... all within the last few hours

Anyway

I'm looking for an i think rather obscure graphic video game from the late 90's early 2000's, obscure because i can't find it in any of the lists like old-games.com
if i remember correctly, it's set around a carnival or circus background. in my mind the graphics where really good for that time, not as pixelated as some games, it was before 3d gaming, but did feel like 3d.
And it had an awesome 40's jazz soundtrack, or at least 1 song, which ran through the game.
First person, probably point and click but could also be keyboard, mature game (and i dont mean x-rated or anything like that, just intended for a more mature audience)

As in most of these games you're looking for something or someone (maybe a family member of loved one) in a house like setting with a big garden, where (i don't quite know when, could be half way through or at the end} you enter some sort of carnival trailer.

can't remember if i actually enjoyed the game, but i'm interested in that 1 song that plays when you enter the trailer. it's a jazz song, female singer with a voice that sounds a bit like billie holiday but near the end of her career, a bit husky and dark.

I know that it's not 9 last resort, 7th guest or 11th hour, but has sort of the same theme. not a horror game or anything like that, quite tranquil if i remember correctly, not in any way comical, but more serious. oh and it wasn't any of the sierra games

maybe i don't remember things correctly cause i've played a lot of games in the meantime.

I hope someone know's what i'm talking about, cause it's been driving me crazy!

There was this PS2 game i played with a friend so many years ago... It was this game where you had like a choice of about 3 or so characters, each sporting a kind of power ranger like mech you move around in and attack enemies with, and could even freely leave the mech if you wanted to, it even had a multiplayer part where you could fight each other...

The only one thing i can somewhat clearly remember about the game was a stage where your mech is out of commission for this one boss fight you have to do. and your character does some fighting himself to defeat the boss... What is the name of this game so i can try to find it again?

That's probably Robot Alchemic Drive.

That doesnt look to be it. it was a game where you rode your mech via power rangers style, not by remote control. and i think had a slightly more cartoony kind of look to it.

Cartoony... maybe Robotech: Battlecry? I don't see any screenshots of people outside the mechs, though. Otherwise you could check the games based on Gundam or maybe the Armored Core games. Good hunting.

That doesnt seem to be it ether... I just guess its just a game not that many people played at all... If only i was able to remember more details on what the game contained... but all i remember is if your robot is destroyed, you get kicked out of it. then your human needs to be defeated for it to count as a loss...

I've had no luck finding anything out about this old game so I thought i'd turn here with what i remember.

The game was a turn based game where the goal was to reach a certain destination, country or town. Each player was a character in their car/vehicle and each turn they used a slot machine to determine how much they could move, i think. They moved from node to node and where they stopped had some kind of effect, i forgot what exactly but it was I think general board-game things such as extra turns, extra movement, loosing a turn and so forth.

The aesthetic was "pixely" / cartoon, as the game was rather old with a villainous theme that reminds me a bit of "dick dastardly", additionally i remember music that reminded me of "the entertainer".

I know this isn't much to go on but I hope others remember it too.

Hmm, how about some of the basics, do you recall what genre it was (rpg/shooter/strat)? camera angle (first person, third person, top down)? How big the mechs were in comparison to other things? Any of those might help narrow it down.

Hello everyone.

I've been trying to remember an old game for 2 months, and I hope someone can help me.

Description: The game was PS1 or PS2, I do not remember. It was in a post-apocalyptic world, and we are in a tower where you can buy and sell powers. The protagonist dresses red and the game consists in that we must enter a species of arena, where we had to fight and overcome some challenges using the powers that appear in bright spheres throughout the area.

I hope someone knows it. Thank you.

So there's a VERY old game I played a long time ago (15 years?) that I'm trying to find again.

What I remember:

You controlled a robot (red), and were on a very bland terrain (no trees, no features. No hills, though the water was slightly lower IIRC). There were rivers of some sort, which were lower than the terrain you could move on. Walking on that made you automatically transform into some sort of hover-mode. I assume you could switch back, but I was pretty young and never fully grasped the controls.

On the opposite end of the terrain was a robot identical to yours, besides for the fact that it was blue. Your objective was to defeat it.

The robots had legs, but no arms (shoulder-like things, though). When on hover-mode, they felt pretty floaty in the way you controlled them, and became a bit faster.

here's a crude 30-second paint drawing: http://timfalken.com/robot.png

That's all I can remember.

So there's an old pc game from the 90s that I played as a kid and can't remember the name of. The details of it are also very fuzzy but I'll do my best. It seemed to involve colors and traveling to different countries. Each country had a single color palette. I seem to remember a zen garden that was all one color. Before you could even travel, you had to solve a puzzle and put four coloured tiles in a row; I think one of the tiles had a yellow rubber duck on it. The rest of the game was point and click. Sorry I know this isn't very detailed but all I have to go off of are vague images in my head

Hi all trying to find an old 2d multiplayer spaceship game.

It was in an arena with gravity physics that changed where your weapon shots went.

Pretty sure it was 90's as I used to play it on Pentium 200Mhz.

I think there were multiple weapons and multiple ships.

IT WAS NOT ONLINE, so not subspace: continuum.

Local split screen and was TONS of fun, just dont seem to be able to find it at all!

Any help appreciated!

 

[keekeetheonly]

it was a game on ps2 there was an intro in the under world and then it started and there was a wisard and you choose a hero you go ino level demention things like crash bandicoot 3 level menu and you walk round killing zombies and there was a poisen apple and if you eat it you get poisened and stuff like that. you go round and there is an echoey voice tht says stuff and its an awesome game that is not appreciated but cant think of the game.

Okay so my memory of this computer game is incredibly vague. The only part of the protagonist you could see was a floating grey glove. It was a puzzle solver-type game. One of the levels, you were in a dark room with mirrors and a light and you had to position the mirrors in a way that illuminated the whole room. I believe there was a cooking level (there was a gas stove and you had to strike a match to light it, I think I was making pancakes? More often than not, the flame went out or the pancakes burned), a level where there was two wires and a thing (I think it was a clown face or something) in the middle, and you had to move the thing without touching the sides of the wires, and that's all I remember. Any ideas? This was early 2000s or late 1990s

Was it perhaps one of the Gauntlet games? Gauntlet Dark Legacy had pretty much all of that. Legends/Dark Legacy were fairly well known for their hammy voice-overs.

Looking for 2 games.

1st game is a PC 3D overhead battle racing game similar to Reckless Racing/Death Rally and is maybe from the early to mid 2000's. I only played the demo through a magazine disc. I don't remember much, there was a sand/dirt level and you could jump across broken bridges. The main menu music was a pretty chill techno beat, and I also remember a car logo of some kind being a different version of the devil's face smoking a cigar. And it's not Carmaggedon.

2nd game I barely remember. You play as a kid, and there is this dragon, that's all I remember. You could stand outside what I think was the dragons cave and not go in because of the reek or something.

It is a real long shot on this guess, and it has been a while since I played this myself, but Breath of Fire 2 (SNES '94) had something that could lead to a similar description.

At the start your character is 6 years old, you see a dragon, something happens, and you have to leave town. You leave with a dog-person party member (also a child) towards a cave, I am pretty sure he comments on the smell of the cave and not wanting to go inside. You do, and that is sorta the end of the intro sequence.

Hi, I'm looking for a game for playstation, where the player is standing on a rectangular field with boxes "rolling" towards the player and screen, you had to rearrange the boxes to make a path before they pushed you over the edge. i had it as a demo

Fairly certain it's 'Intelligent Qube' (or 'Kurushi' in Europe) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZM9kTGFeko

That was the one, thank you so much ^_^

Lets see.... It as an action game in a third person perspective, and Size wise they were slightly as big as an elephant, mabey just a tad smaller.
