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

[M_david09]

hey everyone, there's a game I played a long time ago and I really don't remember much about it, but it seems very old now, it was a flash game about earth dying and humans finding a new planet but other alien races find it too. it was pixelated, I think, and it had its own chat. also, evey faction had their own color.

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?

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...

Unfortunately no. The more I think the less I'm sure about the tools so I might've blended in some other game.
What's the most sure of is the wooden platforms, colour scheme and forest background.

I'm looking for a game that has been bugging me for years now that I used to play when I was younger. All I remember is that there is like a goblin army that takes over a town or castle or something and you have to fight through and there is a battle in a castle bedroom or something against a flying sword/swords. Please for the love of God help!

What game featured you playing with tools like drills, hammer, water gun and more stuff and tools which you use to create mess unto the screen? I'm pretty sure it's not that old I just don't remember what its title is. All I know is that I played it on a potato-grade computer. Help.

This one?

There was an old game, windows 98 or earlier that was point and click. You went into like a boarded up old house or something and I remember something with a chandelier and like a secret passage under a staircase. I wanna say that after a certain length of time some monsters would run out and grab you or something like that. Any thoughts?

Hello all, trying to recall the name of an old PC game: this would be in the early to mid 90's range.

It was a card / puzzle game that was (I think) based on astrology (or some other type of mysticism). There were background scenes that were based on the seasons (I think) and I recall the game having a very eastern feel to it. Overall the game was very peaceful.

Any ideas?!

I can picture what you're describing, so I'm sure I've played this at some point. I'll think on it some more, because now it's gonna bug me too.

Hi.
I remember a game where you have to place yourself on empty spots of the screen between colored horizontal and vertical bars that move on the same rythm as some hectic techno music.
I'm not sure the game is very old (maybe ten-fifteen years maximum). The game plays like a scroller except the screen doesnt scroll. It's just bars appearing on the edges of the screen and you must move out of their way before they cross the screen and crush you.
I think it was mouse controlled but not 100% sure about that.

The game I try to remember looks like Hexagon (and plays similarly) except it's bars appearing accross the screen instead of ... hexagons.
I'd say it's most likely a "recent" game (between 2005 and 2015).

Hello,
I remember a game my aunt used to play on one of the Atari systems, it was somewhat of a platformer (Or there were platforms in it at least) It may have been a side scroller , and I think you played as a wizard or something, I distinctly remember it being in a forest, and I think there was something to do with rabbits. I honestly don't remember anything else.

I remember one PC game I got in a bargain bin. I was playing it around 2000 maybe but I think it was older than that. It was a point and click adventure game with prerendered backgrounds and 3D sprites for enemies and characters, like the original Resident Evil games. It was set in space and the only detail I remember is that you wake up in some sort of futuristic jail cell. If you try to escape, a floating robot would shock you and you had to beat it to death with the severed arm of a dead creature in the cell with you (which I think you had to kill too?) After you beat the robot up I think it would malfunction and then fly into the force field blocking the entrance to the cell and explode.

Hello all. There's this game I remember playing on either the ps1 or the ps2 where you and a friend would take turns on this co-op game and you couldn't see your opponents pieces until they were near your pieces, I think the pieces were tanks but I'm not too sure and i think it had a similar goal to a game of chess.

hello im trying to find an very old game i can describe what it looked like but i dunno the name so here we go.
1:main character was a purple dinosaur (not barney)
2:the game started on a weird platform only 1 on the screen but it was odd shaped like a long road with turns.
3:you could make the Dino walk around the platform but he did so VERY slow and had loud stomping sounds.
4:it was loaded from either an 8 inch disc or a floppy.
5: it looked graphically like Atari games a blackness with colorful platforms yet it was slightly 3D in a way.

I've been looking for this game for years and haven't found it again. any clues or suggestions would be great THANKS!!

This has probably been asked before, but after reading about 20 pages I just decided to just post.

I played a game in the nearly 2000's where you had to build these contraptions using things like fans, scissors, conveyor belts, balloons, etc. I don't remember the goal of the game, but the main characters were 2 mice, one large blue one and a small yellow one? I think you had to figure out how to feed them the cheese or something.

I think there was a mission mode where you had to complete levels, as well as a free play mode where you could design your own.

Just an fyi, it is not The Incredible Machine, but very similar contraptions.

Edit: at the time I also had a disc that had a ton of games on it from everything from brick break, to a 3d spaceship game, to Pac man, and a ton of,others. Dont know if that helps.

Thank you in advance.

Hi! I have two games to ask;

1-) The game was about drawing doodles to make our ball collect stars, the game had that physics features and i remember that you can draw to the map screen of the game. It was a puzzle as you guess.

2-) The second one was a fantasy game i guess? There was a little circle area that changes the look every level. I remember that you dispatch some workers, and must give them potions or they got red in the and and don't remember what happens next. My brother said that it was a game of a movie but we both not sure about that. The game had like lepricons that collects money for you.

That's all I remember about that both. Thanks for all the helps from now!

Hi all,

I'm also looking for a really old game. Think it was out in the early 80's, possibly on a Mac. Was a basic 2D game of a little guy pushing gold bags around a maze and having to put them in certain spots.
It had about 50 or 100 levels.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Ok this one is really hard but i tried everything to find this game so here goes. It was one of those try to escape the building game but with a detective twist to it, i remember that is started in a dark corridor and u have to look for the light switch, it's a point and click btw and it's on pc. Hopefully someone will know it.

That's "Crayon Physics", I guess.

Looking for the name of a game I only played a couple times around the year 2000. It is a strategy game with territories, similar to Lord of the realms, but you can choose a leader that grants special powers, such as a necromancer that allows you to build an undead army or other magical powers depending on who is chosen.

Forgot to add, this is in the PC.
