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

[Strohsack]

Dear people
I have now googled for months on end but can't seem to find this one specific game I am looking for. I don't know what to do anymore and hope someone may be able to help me.

Somewhere in the late 90s my brother and I played a game on our parents computer which ran windows 95 or 98 (not sure which one). It must have been a DOS game. I was pretty sure the game was called "Pioneer" cuz I remember reading the title specificly to remember it later but since I can't find any game called like this I may be wrong. Or maybe it's just part of the title.
I would say it was a 2D side scroller space shooter. You played as a blue/grey spaceship (or something like it) and could fly in any direction on the screen. There was a life bar and the goal of the game was to shoot the other player (the game has local co-op. If there was anything else I am not able to remember it since we only playd local co-op). You could take damage by getting shot or by flying into walls and other obstacles. You may had to refuel your vehicle but Iam not sure. I also think it was possible to leave your spaceship and then you were able to run around as a tiny man(but not sure of this one either).
I am also not so sure if it was a "space" shooter. Because, yes, you flew a spaceship but you were like in room that was surrounded by walls which looked like they were made with those bricks from breakout but only in blue and grey. Shooting those walls would destroy them. It's possible that the map wrapped around itself if there were no walls. I also think you had diffrent weapons (shooting straight and shooting downwards).

The reason we played that game was because we had a lot of fun building tunnels trough walls and "building" rooms. We weren't really interested in shooting each other.

I have no idea were my brother got that game from or if it came with windows (I checked that but it's unlikely). I really hope someone can help me with that. I never found anything anywhere. It's like it never existed. It's so weird.

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 (1989) for the gameplay and Lemmings for some graphics but and 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'll be very grateful.

Hey, I am looking for a game from the late 90s

I don't remember much. The game had a injury and treatment system. You fought in battle, received cuts, bruises, broken bones. You had to bandage and treat wounds to prevent infection and death. You could get sick at night, or from dirty water.

The game was 1st person, you start the game falling from the sky or parachuting. First weapons you can find are primitive like knives and spears. Then later it advances to guns and I believe there was even a walking Mech. I don't remember the point of the game but you did have some bounties, and advanced hud that gave you detailed information on the targets.

Graphics wise the game was similar to Lost Eden (1995) but 1st person, your walking around the area normally, no point and click. Like Elder scrolls Skyrim

Offering a $500 award to whoever can get the name of this game!




- I played this game about 10-15 years ago.

- CD ROM inserted which had a variety of miscellaneous games available

- One of the games involved choosing an NFL/Football routine where you could select as many team players and cheerleaders you wanted to be on the field, and select a movement routine for each character. For example, the cheerleaders had the option of waving their pompoms or doing flips in the air. Once you were happy with the way the routine looked, you would press the Play button and the characters would act according to the moves you gave them.
This game was a pixelated animation that included music and sound effects.

- Another game from the CD was a board that was set up, with a variety of tools down the side of the screen (on the right). The tools included a paint brush, eraser, mop (to make the board "greasy/ slippery"), etc. You could edit the board using these tools. There would be a marble looking ball that would drop onto the screen and move around the board depending on how you edited it.

I know the way I've described the games sound really random but if you've ever played this cd you'll know exactly what games I'm talking about!

Looking forward to some peace of mind!

Hello there! Been trying to find 2 games for like a decade with no success.

1. The first one is an old online flash platformer game. You played as a blonde-haired princess. Your main weapon was her hair. It started out short but you could pick up potions which grew it, i think one braid for every potion you took. You fought with your hair kinda like a whip, the strategy was to jump in circles to spin it around you. It was set in a medieval setting, you wore a (maybe pink) dress and you were in a castle fighting with bats, and i remember a huge Oz type witch too. I remember a sleeping prince too but never got so far to wake him up.The game was not linear you encountered crossroads, but i don't think it was metroidvania-like but maybe it was i am not exactly sure.

2. The second game i played about 10-15 years ago on a big arcade machine. It was a platformer too, but with more beat em up elements. You played as a blonde character (maybe in a blue dress), but you could play 2 player, the other player being a red dressed dude with a red turban on its head. You started the game in some kind of a warehouse, where you fought henchmen. At the end of the first level, you fought an evil professor like dude, he was only walking around until you beat him, then he escaped on a plane. After that it was like turtles in time, you were going around in different time periods fighting off enemies from that fantasy or age. At the end of the level there was always this professor dude as a boss, and he was from that peiod of time. I remember one level, where he was a snake-charmer playing a flute, and then dragons attacked you. The game had power-ups, i remember i alway beat the first level, with some kind of icicle projectile.

There are two PC games I can't remember. I'm thinking about it for days now, but I just can't remember. If someone know it, please help me!

1. It's just like frogger, but with cats. I think 4 or 5 cats are protagonists, and there were areas, like a town, a forest, a construction area, and a lot more.

2. It was kinda like Mario, but the protagonist was an egg, or a boy who looked like an egg, I don't know. You had collect coins, kill monsters, sort of like that. There were multiplayer also.

I don't know a lot abouzt these games, but I really want to know, what games are these. PLEASE HELP ME! Thank you

Never heard of a game called Pioneer (although that does sound like the subtitle to an Elite game), but it sounds like you're looking for a multiplayer cave-flyer with Worms-style destructible environments, of which there were quite a few, mostly clones of Thrust with triangular ships.
