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

[Nidor]

Guys, every now and then this game pops into my mind, and I spend hours trying to grab the slight remembrance of it's name, only to end up giving up. I've searched through giant lists of RPG games from wikipedia, through old game nostalgic sites, to new gaming sites and nada. Since google hasn't helped me a single bit, I surrender to the infinite knowledge of this community. I'll try to describe the best I can about this game:
- Old single player RPG, I believe runnning from a .exe on windows OS, and windowed (not fullscreen).
- It had something like the mechanic of pokemon, monster battle probability when you walk, and dozens of different monsters.
- The farther you were from the starter point, the more difficult and high level monsters were.
- when battle started, if you were on a beach the background was picture of a real world beach, if you were on a forest the back was a real world forest, static image. The monster was a moving image, but not animated.
- It had a magic system, like dark, holy, water or blue (don't really recall), when you i.e. used dark type magic, holy magic skill decreased, and every other opposing sphere of magic, pretty straightforward.
- It was freaking hard, and freaking awesome.

Well, if you were talking really old, there was a rather odd game called Well of Souls. It was basically a bare bones Single/Multiplayer RPG platform, where players and server creators import their own graphics for everything. In the base game, and many of the servers, they used real world photos of forests and beaches (although typically poor quality ones).

It ran off an exe, was windowed, had the random encounter mechanic described (in fact if you leveled up scouting ability you could see the spawning zones). Monsters and players were a floating image that had about 4 different sprites that it swapped to(default, attack, hurt, talking). They even allowed you to import your own character image.
The magic system is pretty much exactly as you described.
Difficulty varies on class of character and if you are abusing magic weaknesses, As well as the world/server you play on.

Hello everyone.
I need help with an old game.
I post again with more information than I remember.

1- The game came in a single cd.
2- It was a post-apocalyptic world.
3- The graphics were in 3D and of poor quality so I think it was PS1, but I?m not sure.
4- The main platform was a tower buried in the desert, where they were acceded to the missions.
5- At the top is a room with a giant blue screen, while the Beethoven Moonlight Sonata sounds.
6 - In the tower they could sell and buy the abilities (similar to magic), that appeared later in the fights.
7- The missions were fights where you used the skills that you had to obtain from some spheres.
8- The missions were sometimes inside derelict buildings and sometimes in destroyed avenues.
9- I think the protagonist wore a red jacket.

This is all I remember from this game, which I've been looking for so long.

I don't know about the blue screen with Moonlight Sonata 'cause I never got the top, but that sounds a lot like Azure Dreams [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wyww26kJkZo]. It definitely has the tower buried in the desert, the red jacket, and the spell orbs. =)

Thank you so much Midwoka. Unfortunately it is not the game. The one that I look for has the most real characters, type devil may cry 1 or Vagrant Story.

Im trying to find out the name of this game it's for a ps2 you race a little car if im not mistaken the car speaks and it's like a town you drive around racing you can customize your little car and put all the way up to a v12 in it that's the last engine upgrade you. An get that's really all I can remember

 

[Ismaelquevedo]

There are these two old pc games that I can't get out of my head, they come in flashback snippets.

1) The first is a top-down 3D maze about this bald boy (guy?) Who would go around the maze and would collect weapons to fight against this family of pumpkins(I think they were pumpkins), that would retreat to some kind of square and would be dazed for a few moments but then return to chase you down. When playing multiplayer, a girl counterpart was added.

2) It was also a Windows pc game that included a little girl who would move around the screen to collect flowers but had to block items in front of these fire hydrants or else she would be blasted with water and the level would reset.

Thanks in advance!

I'm sorry but I need your help. It's been a long time since I was looking for a game that I played when I was smaller at least before 2012 and after 2007 but I have only vague memory, according to what I Deduced it was a similar game to Prince of Persia but in space I believe with teleporters and I remember that I had found it on flash game sites so if you could help me find it I you in Will be very grateful.

 

[ZeDaFranga]

Can somebody, please, help me find this game? My description is very vague, the one thing I remember was me playing this as a kid on an old computer.
The game icon was something similar to a skyscraper, there were 2 towers, and I remember choosing some kind of white robot, but I recall there being other characters to choose from, but i'm not 100% certain. And i believe it was a 3rd person shooter
Upon starting I would face some kind of elevator? And i would stand on some kind of metal fence, all dark, I remember falling and dying...
Any help is appreciated

Hello!

Been looking for this game for ages....can't find any trace of it.

-Browser Game (Was possibly pay-to-play access browser type game)
-Set on mars
-You would build buildings/infrastructure/mines etc and defense systems to grow your base
-You were astronauts
-You had to build/"train" astronauts to fend off aliens + explore other areas of the map
-The map area is completely black until you send astronauts through it, removing the darkness allowing you to build facilities there
-The aliens (could be wrong) were ant-like and attacked in large numbers (depending on your base of course)
-The ores/minerals being mined were like green crystals
-I think there were also vehicles
-It was like a really good clash of clans that had an actual map to explore and build upon
-STRONG red sand/rock aesthetic
-At least 7 years old

Anyone remember this game? Can't find anywhere on google images

 

[Siska Kristina]

Hello anybody can help me?
-the game i think it's played on sega
-it is a rpg game and the gameplay is similiar like pokemon/final fantasy games (you can face enemy while walking outside towns, while facing enemy you may choose to attack, defend?, use item, and run (I'm not sure about the defend part, but i am sure it has 4 options)
-i remember in some part about battling a boss in a conquered city (the boss name i think it has a "queen" title on it), the boss can use spell that change the player into stone and causing the player easily defeated, but it can be handled by equipping shield called mirror shield (i am not really remember the shield's name) that can preventing the player of being stoned, the shield is obtainable in a cave
-if i am not wrong, the player objectives is to collect seven orbs (i am not sure about this, i really forget)
-the game has a bad 2D graphic
-i think the game has a japanese/chinese theme (the clothes, building)

Please help me if you know this game

Hey guys just trying to find this ps1/ps2 game I am dying to find but cannot find anything at all.
All I know is that it was:
- Somewhat Japanese (I found this out by finding this link and someone else tried asking about this game but no one could find it)
- Spider Mechs that could crawl on surfaces
- Started on a dock
- Apparently had a boss at the end of the demo which if you defeated the demo would end

Heres the original paragraph I am going off of:
For the life of me i can't remember the name of the game.

Once i was playing a demo of a game on the PS2. It was like a Mech shooter from the 3rd perspective. I remember there was one green robot that had like 4 legs splayed out like a spider. I remember it was decently fast too. I remember the demo took place on an arena that looked like a dock because i recall the container ship. After you have defeated all the robots you had to face a boss bot and after that the demo ended. I think it was like a japanese game but im not entirely sure but i somewhat remember the dialogue in the little box at the bottom being cryptic. The title of the game as far as i remember was like a shortcut like S.T.A.R.S for example.

You drive a green spider-legged tank-mech in S.L.A.I. (Steel Lancer Arena International) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKkeOcQFKjc], and it starts on a dock with container ships, but I don't remember being able to crawl on surfaces... >.>

thx for showing this to me it means a lot! But I'm still not sure this was it as I remember some sort of tower with beams and you would be able to climb on the bottom of it and shoot at people so I'm still wondering if it is it even though it pays close resemblance

Maybe Ghost In The Shell [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fllxBaIe9aA] for PS1, then? I think it had a tower like that later on...

Hi. I created this account to find out the name of the game I literally have so little details on the game that its funny but here goes nothing.
Its a PC game not sure if it was playable on consoles. the launcher had a molten skull with lava coming out of it. the only other thing i can remember is you start with a single unit and then you walk and find two other units. I believe you are a human and you can fight monsters. the only monster I remember fighting was a cyclops I think.


PLEASE HELP!!!

It's a long shot, but it might be the Titans expansion for Age Of Mythology [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nrmWCH5_3Mo]. It was a full RTS game, but the story mode had some missions where you find other units rather than produce them, and the Greek factions could make a cyclops if they picked the right minor gods. And if you had the Titans expansion, the launcher's icon was this jaunty fellow [https://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/ageofempires/images/7/70/KronosPortrait.png/revision/latest?cb=20160602122801] (Kronos). =)

 

[Chris Mullins]

Found them both.

Arx Fatalis and Death Gate

There aren't many sega genesis RPG, you should find it easily, but you are probably talking about one of these two:
-Crusader of Centy
-Beyond Oasis
