Hey guys, I'd appreciate a little help here- There's two games that have been stuck in my mind for a while now since I was a kid. These will be extremely challenging to answer! Proceed with caution.

1st-
3D graphics around the level of Gothic 2, white male fighter-class style protagonist, though I think magic is an option. The only thing I distinctly remember about the game is the beginning- you're stripped of your powers by some magical gimmick and made to try and enter a town at the very start surrounded by forest. The guards outside stop you, and you have the option of intimidating them, paying them off, or doing some great amount of push-ups which is the part I remember distinctly- after which the screen will fade to black and you'll get '+1 strength'. I have the feeling there's 'legend' somewhere in the theme, though I'm uncertain.

2nd-
Now, we're heading way back to a game I think I played on one of those '150 games on one disc' things in the original Descent kind of era that I got with a pizza or in a cereal box or something, played on Win95. It is almost certainly MS-DOS. You play as a weaponized hover-vehicle in a futuristic setting- UFO's can chase you, and there's a lot of emphasis on momentum and launching yourself in low-gravity off huge ramps to collect power-ups and generally be awesome. You start at a T-intersection of road in mid-air, and to your right is a huge area with corridors shaped like a # with hugely high walls between (they need to be with the kind of jumps you pull off in this game)- in the centre is a big, 3d trapezium with power-ups on it, and everything's lit in neon-blue and metal. Your view is fully fixed on the windshield, but you can use a rear-vision mirror which is the only way to reliably see the UFO's. Roads like those that transfer between highways (clovers) are common suspended in mid-air.

Thank you so much!
Not sure about the first one, but could the second one have been Hover!?

There was this game where the protagonist was a woman, and it was medieval fantasy. One thing that stood out the most is the magic system.

To cast magic you had to press circle, I think, and she'd hold her hand out to etch the symbols in a diamond shape with a line in the middle. One of the first places you go through is this swampy area. It was definitely on the PS2, at least, and if memory serves she looks like a red-haired version of the protagonist from Primal.
Maybe it was La Pucelle: Tactics? I'm more going off your description of the character and the fantasy setting.

Nah it wasn't anime-esque. When I say she looked like the Protag from Primal I mean JUST like her, but with red hair.

I can't remember an old PC game I played when I was a kid.

I am pretty sure it's from the first 90's.

It was a fantasy game, in 3D graphic, and I'm not sure if it's a puzzle or an adventure.
That's because I remember a couple of things of the game that where more about puzzle solving, instead of fighting.
I remember a couple of passages of the game, thought:

-I remember I had to use a rope to jump over a what I remember being a carnivorous plant (I remember the cutscene of the main character jumping over, you had to use the rope on a branch over the plant, if I recall right)

-after that, shortly after you enter in what I recall to be like a fairy/witch house, and you had to kill her

-the thing I remember more clearly: there was this hallway, with a skeleton warrior. If you proceed in another direction, you activate a trap with a rolling boulder, that you have to jump into an aisle to avoid it. I remember this passage pretty clearly, because I remember I tried to kill the skeleton warrior with the boulder once.

I don't remember much about the plot, because I am not english, while the game was, and I had like 4 or 5 years old when I played this game, and I just started to learning it at the time.

I know it's not much, but I hope that the informations are anough to help me. It's a part of my memory I'd like to recover, since I started recently on looking again in my old pc games (like Lost Eden and Discworld)

Thank you for your help

EDIT: Never mind. I found the game. It was Dragon Lore: The Legend Begins

Been looking for this game for years so any help would be great.

It's a game with colorful little balls that have faces and the board is circle with like chrome edge or something and when you clear some away they say something in a cute tiny voice.

My mom got this game around '02 or '03 along with several others like Qbeez, Chuzzle, etc. (she likes puzzle games)

Any idea what this is? Thanks!

Hey there!!

I've been going nuts over this game, I remember it enough to give a vague description of a level but not remember it fully.
It was a game i played, not sure what system but it was either computer or wii, after 2005.
I remember parts of one level specifically, its weird.

You played as some sort of character and it was a 3d game, where you're in some sort of sandstone(?) city/village and you have to go around and collect these green jumping jelly beans without getting hurt. i remember there being a slope/hill road that you had to go up without getting hit by logs. but you had to collect the green jumping jelly beans.

There was also another part of a level, it was like a sky structure but it was made out of trees?? you had to go across these rope bridges and i think fly these small planes through a small part and i think you still collected the green jumping jelly beans.

if anyone could help me with this i'd be so thankful! it pops into my mind every now and then and irritates me because i dont remember.

I remember playing a game on PC , it was a fighting game with characters that could fight until you lose limbs if you would lose a leg you jump on 1 leg or if lose both you somehow jump and still fight, you had special abilities for every character , i remember it looked like a parody of WWE with a guy with a microphone , aliens what would cut you in half with a laser as finisher , the game is played in a ring some maps would deal damage if you would touch the electric fences others will not (alien map) , a lava map in Hawaii , you had commentators that made fun of , it looked like childish game , not like human estetics , more like funny with big heads , there was a Mr.T making fun of Character , alien probe jokes , you could grab items from the ground and beat the oponent with .
Every character had a special move , 1 of them drove over with a bike and killed you , one of them (alien) place you on a table and cut you from your crotch to your head. I belive you could edit your character ,the game was about fun not graphics , it was like a game to make fun of all fighting games.

Hello,

I'm looking for an old PC game. My father used to buy magazines with demo CD roms so I don't know if what I remember is very representative of the game.

It was a 3D PC game from the end of 90's or start of 2000's. I never played more than a few minutes but I remember a kind of arabic/oriental atmosphere, located in a palace. I also remember that entering the room of a woman was making her call out for guards. I never went muuch further in the game as I din't understand English at the time.

I know that is not much information but let's hope :)
Prince of Persia 3D (1999)?

Looking for a old PC game maybe from 2008-2011.

I remember it being kind of animated sci-fi online RPG. You have this robot/pet that transforms into a weapon. Three main types of weapon i think...Gun, Sword and a claw. Some of them are kind of weird looking..like with one eye and stuff like that. the pet kind of guides you on your quests and leveling as well.

You level the pet and can combine it with other materials and pets to form higher level weapons. Farm items by doing quests and killing mobs. Anyone can help with the name of the game?

I used to play a game on PC...

I believe it was only a Demo, and I could only ever find it on the computers that were in Walmart and Staples and occasionally Best Buy (between 2006-2013).

It was a 2D (but with pretty killer graphics) top-to-bottom-scrolling, almost Arcade-style game where you flew a Helicopter and shot at bad guys. There was mostly desert terrain at first but I think you came up on some grassy areas. You could fly over/into power-ups and they would change your guns to all sorts of different patterns and rockets.

I have googled endlessly and can't ever find this game.

Perhaps one of the Air Strike series? You can apparently switch into a 2D view in them. This is Air Strike II: Gulf Thunder (2005):

I remember this really old game, 2000s* (the place I played it at also had Neverwinter nights, if it helps).
Anyway, the game is the standard RPG with character creation: race, class, sex... It begins with your character on a recently destroyed farm, with a house in flames behind you and a few goblins attacking you. On one of the corners it had a little belt with three icons, which you used to change to your presets. The inventory was huge, with a lot of equipment slots. Spells were "equipped" from a scroll into one of the slots too, also any armor you wore looked exacly the same way on your character model (a robe was a robe, vest was a vest...).
Apart from that, all that I remember is that it was Isometric (like Diablo 2) with pretty neat graphics. And it was hard (or I sucked, well... Probably the latter).
Anyway, thanks if anyone knows what game that is

Trying to find an old game i used to play a lot years ago but can't seem to find it.

It was a top-down online military game. You had multiple classes to pick from and it was on a large map, 2 big groups fighting each other. You were able to make your own flag icon if you wished to, make a guild etc. You were able to drive tanks and other vehicles as well. I remember the medic being a lot of fun, I really don't remember what the name was tho, was curious if it was still alive. :/

It played a bit similar to Foxhole.

Trying to remember a DOS/Win3.x game from the mid 90's. It was Jazz Jackrabbit-esque- a 2D platformer, action shooter, with animal characters. For the life of me I cannot remember WHAT animals they were, but the only distinct thing I remember was a female purple something that needed rescuing, and she wore a skimpy Australian/outback themed outfit. I have searched and searched through various abandoned game archives and come up with nothing, so I'm starting to question the genre/style... but I am pretty certain that's what it was, and I remember playing it around the same time as Jazz.
