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

[Kirin Sim]

Need help on this.
Couldn't find the tag in google or anywhere else and its been hunting my mind.

PC online game
Genre of the game: Magic, Top-down shooter, fantasy, anime, and probably more.
Status: discontinue.
Estimate year (when played): around year 2005


This game is a top-down anime/fantasy style shooter game, a character that I still remember is a fire witch (red wizard hat and shirt riding a "broom?"). Player are able to choose/select card (forgot whats the purpose) and able to shoot magic (ball) to enemy, also can dash and create ball shield to protect player. Map is not that big as it is just like a arena where multiple online player battle out in it.

Not sure if it's just PvP or there's PvE.

Thats all i can remember. T_T

Hello if you could help me with this that would be great.
I dont know if this game was ps1 or nintendo (i have a feeling its PS1)
In this game you play as a small guy(with a small bowler/derby hat) and you have a friend a taller fat guy (with yellow t-shirt)
I remember when starting a new game you start in the kitchen (making a cake?) then the fat guy sits on a toy train that goes around and you have to catch it
Later some evil cats jump out of a blimp and the fut guy founds this little cute (evil) cat and doesnt believes the small guy that its evil.Then theres this cat which throws bombs at you and you have to defeat it by hitting back the bombs(with a tennis racket?)
Thats all the story i remember :S
I still remember that you can punch the fat guys stomach he gets angry and he grabs you and crumples you into a ball and throws you,and you can give him apples then he puts on a college hat, and you can play hide and seek with him.

Hello everyone i am wondering if anyone has heard of a old pc game where you had to build a faster go kart then the enemy who i think was meant to be a mad scientist or a doctor but he had these monkeys or robots try and stop you from building a faster go kart, you had to go around the building through doors to collect parts of a go kart and when you got the stuff and made your go kart it takes you to the race course, and you would see who wins or loses, you could use bananas to throw at the monkeys or robots, i think it might of been like a platform game but not to sure, so if anyone knows what i am talking about please please help me find it and i can help me find a way to play it once again, thank you

That's probably Super Solvers: Gizmos & Gadgets!

Never knew about this thread. So cool!
This may not get an answer, but I'm looking for a multiplayer phone game from when phones were still black and white.
It used mobile data (and could rack up MASSIVE charges).
It was a sort of rock-paper-scissors type game where you climbed up a leaderboard with Hackers, Brutes, and some other type of unit. As you "defeated" enemies you could get their monsters and you would rank up. Each type was weak to something else, but there was an option to burn up a monster entirely and get a level bonus against something. If no one knows what it is, I won't be surprised, but I really would like to know the name of the game.

Cant remember the name of the game i played prolly in the 2000s. Similar to Contra, but you have multiple characters each with different weapon speciality (i think 4, one was a normal gunner, other 2 i remember were a rocket launcher guy and a bomb trap set guy, and you pause the game to change characters(?) my memory of that is hazy) , and you collect powerups to change their weapons ( you needed to collect like 1 for the first, 2 for the second, and so on, there was a bar on bottom of the screen where you can select that). There were stages where you fight on the deck of a large ship, stages where you fight on top of flying jets, and ground stages. A cheat i remeber is the Jump-Pause trick, where you Pause right when youre at max jump height, unpause and immediately press jump again to make a second jump in mid air, and repeat till you reach your desired height.

Maybe Metal Slug? Could be wrong.

That sounds A LOT like Contra Force [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_UrECk3PoLY], including the pause-jump glitch that I know is in there. =)

Not sure if its an old game but I haven't played it in a while. Was a 2D game on the pc, some guy is playing a board game with friends and goes to the bathroom but its dark and he thinks its because his friends are playing a prank on him. When he comes out he finds himself in some castle. I remember there being a room near the start with large piles of gold you can take, which you then find out is cursed and kills you. Then you gain a sort of evil sidekick after a ghoul or something tries to possess you and fails then accidentally traps itself inside of you.

There is a lot of adult humour in the game from my memory and was sort of like a dungeon crawler. But considering how vaguely I remember its actual genre and how many exist out there i am failing to find it.

Pretty sure that's UnEpic [http://store.steampowered.com/app/233980/UnEpic/]. I never finished it, 'cause I remember the movement being just a biiit too clunky for me to enjoy. -.-

I remember playing a game where it's themed in the semi-apocalyptic world where aliens/animals/morphs or spoopy entities in grey are attacking the last tree on earth. You're supposed to defend it but until a certain amount of waves it starts to overgrow and mutate into some spawner tree which spawns the monsters back at you and the game ends that sadly.

it's been over 9 years i haven't played that game but i can't seem to find it

There is a game i've been looking for for a couple of years now. I remember playing it when I was 8 or 9 (probably). It was a free to play game I found on a games website. It was a 2d game (maybe flash) (and it was not top down) where you were driveby shooting people in buildings through their windows and sometimes a policecar came from the left of the screen and you had to shoot it. I hope theres anyone who knows the name of the game since it's the first pc game i remember playing.

No its not Metal Slug, Metal slug has that cartoony kinda art, this game in describing has a more realistic mechy contra type art,

Okay, I'm starting to get mad with myself so might as well ask the genius internet. I loved this one game - it's the 'get it on a CD with a magazine' kind.

It was match shapes, a like teris but with you moving shapes around to 'fill out' bigger shape on the screen so it would dissapear. I remember the little shapes came on wodden platforms and when you finished the level you would get platforms with money instead if you had empty place. If you ran out of place for new shapes you lost.

You had tool to change/destroy the shapes which you got by using a shape the tool was hid inside of?

It's similiar to Arctic Quest by Alawar/BigFishGames, but with sqares (I think?) and sharp red/blue/green colors, and forest/magic/crystal shards?/etc.

Is this Puzzle Inlay? After thinking about it for a while I remember there being shapes with tools inside them...

Can I also ask about a game from the old time I can't remember. The reason I want to remember so much is because I played it with my friend at his fathers office. We got stuck at one level and never finished it.
The game was represented by up to 4 agents and I think you start with one and then you buy or they come in cant remember. You train them and so on, up their stats I think or for sure give them new weapons and armour. You were set in cities of the future with skyscrapers and you can blow building, cars and people up. Also there were badass guns for the time, but my favourite were the standard minimachineguns. The enemies and you had electric shield. There were police faction, punk faction, rocker faction and criminals and other special forces and military. If this help, I think it was 3d because you spy from above. It will help if you tell me at least what genre that is.

Maybe the original Syndicate (1993) or its sequel, Syndicate Wars (1996)?

If you're into those games, you might also like to know that the developers released a "spiritual successor" called Satellite Reign a couple of years ago.

 

[Kgnot]

THATS THE ONE! THE second one!!! WOW our computer could not load the intro man...so many emotions. I was so skeptical about forums on forgotten games. i thought nobody will reply or wont know. Now that I found it i need to figure out if I want to play it or watch someone else complete it. Because I believe one of the levels was broken.
Satellite Reign you say...that also look well, especially the chicks.
Edit : I just watched half a walk through. The guys seemed to have figured out a lot more then me. I did not speak or read English at all at that time.

Hi! I have many troubles with finding an old game that I loved, so I add "a description" below and I hope it would be helpful for you to recognize it

The screen of the games was kinda like in Bomberman (I mean one-screen game). The background was always black and there was a few rooms with white borders. The aim was (I guess) to escape myself or someone else and the main character was wizard or ghost. It could also contain keys, monsters etc, but I don't really remember what was the true purpose of each level. At the begining of every level the character appeared in some crazy way, like circles or something. The score and all of it was at the top of the screen (on 90%).
Unfortunately I even don't remember the console - it should be Atari, Commodore or Nintendo, but I'm not sure any of it

I hope that maybe some of you have flashes of that game or even recognize it, it would be a HUGE RELIEF to me and I would be really thankful )))

could it be Gauntlet? If someone says "wizard", "ghosts" "keys" and Bomberman-like view the first game that comes to my mind is gauntlet.

Sadly, it's not the game I am looking for. I made a picture of what I do remember about the gameplay, maybe someone will recognise the game by the look of it, here it is: https://imgur.com/gallery/9T4bs
