Hi everyone
I remember playing this *arcade* game back in 90's. It was a beat em up game with a fantasy feel I think. I can't remember much from it but there was this very distinct scene:
When you were about to start the game or when you had died there was these game over / starting scene in which there was a girl captivated and hand cuffed in some kind of prison with stone walls very similar to a well and there was water pouring inside slowly to fill up the prison and kill the girl.
I guess the purpose of the hero of game was to somehow rescue the girl before she get drowned.
Sorry I can't remember anything else. I have searched a lot and found nothing, please help me...

So close, i watched some gameplay, and the beginning had me thinking it was the right game, but it was definitely a ring that turned you into a beaver, and I dont remember ever switching characters or having party members, everyone was either a basically a quest giver, store, or enemy other than your character. I could be wrong on party members, but definitely a ring that turns your character into a beaver, and definitely the main character saves the princess and delivers her to the king, whereas in dragon quest 4 the princess leaves the castle and joins the main character later.Crabtree said:
Ok, so I have two games that are really bugging me. Just spend the whole day traversing google to find either with no success. I played them when I was pretty young so only have faint memories of them (like a dream).
Both were PC games on an old windows computer we were using between 2000-2007ish (I don't remember the exact years soz). It might've been from a CD or installed by default.
The first game was a 2D topdown puzzle solving game where you were this robot (that had arms and a square face i think) that moved around a map and had to do something. I distinctly remember having to roll a while ball/boulder as part of the puzzle.
The second game I remembered having heaps of fun on even though I could never get past the first part. It was a 3D Sci-Fi game. There were these droid like robots (they didn't have arms or faces, just machines really) that fired lasers (i think, I do recall them making mechanical whirring/robotic noises). The only part I played was indoors in a pretty much mettalic room. I think I recall part of the gameplay being isometric cuz I could see robots and they were closed of in a L like bend of walls in the centre of the big room. I also feel like part of the game was first person cuz I recall trying to appraoch the robots and dying. Otherwise it looked amazing and I would kill to know it. The graphics for this game I recall weren't even bad, but that might've just been my first experience with 3D games lol.
Sorry for the vague descriptions. My mind might have dreamt up bits over the years to fill the gaps on what I've forgotten, but any pointers on things that match my descriptions are fine, even if they're older then 2000 cuz we might've bought that PC secondhand.

OK, so the game I remember but can't think of the name of is an arcade game from late 80s early 90s. You would start out with a character and would fight different people and could rescue a another character who would join your side and would fight with you. You could keep saving other characters and adding them to your line of characters. Can't think of the name of the game or maker. Was hoping to find it on MAME.
Not sure if either of you were able to find the game or not, but I'm pretty sure it's called Otto's Magic Blocks. https://www.wildtangent.com/games/ottos-magic-blocks. My brothers and I use to play this game all the time, I tried looking online for it and my brother was able to remember what it was. Hope this helps

It wasn't fantasy, but that water scene sounds like the continue screen from Final Fight 2. Whoever you chose to play as ends up there after losing too many lives, including the female hero Maki.aminima said:Hi everyone

My memory of this game is hazy, but from what I do remember, it is a sidescroller shooter/labyrinth game. I seem to remember the color scheme being mostly grey, blue and purple/pink. Your character is small on the screen, can jump and shoot and there is a large robot/mech that you can encounter early in the game.
It's not a lot to work with, but if it rings any bells, I would greatly appreciate suggestions.

Hi,i remember playing a game around ?00, where u were like a skeleton kid with water guns and u had to kill people walking on the street, inside a shooping ,etc. There were like shops where u could buy better guns and so on. The game was on PC. If someone remember anything more i would be grateful.

Hi all, hoping for some help here!
Played an old game in the 90's, set in a haunted mansion. Dark graphics, basically would show you the image of a room, lots of blue and black. I *think* it was text command based, but may have had some presets. I distinctly remember opening a cupboard and having to grab a moving matchbox, a lab downstairs that would jump scare and kill you with a snake if you did the wrong thing, and a creepy curator out the back digging a grave that would follow you and chop you up with an axe. Any help here would be great, generic "haunted mansion old game" searches have been fruitless so far, and I'd like to dig it out for Halloween!

I've skimmed hundreds of pages on this thread in hopes someone else has been searching for the same game, but it seems I'm not so lucky! So!
The game I'm looking for was an old internet browser game from CoolMath.com or an extremely similar online gaming website back in the late 90's/early 2000's; it was a top down pixel adventure style game with a vague Halloween/monster kind of theme to it where you played someone that had to retrieve monster dolls [ specifically I remember a Mummy, Vampire, Frankenstein, and Witch doll- but there we're more, I could never play/beat the game well enough to retrieve them all without dying ]and return them to a little girl in a small village. There was a vast forest surrounding the village along with a swamp that you had to go through and find the various locations where the dolls had been taken to- I vividly remember the Mummy doll being in a house/cellar at the very lower bottom of the screen, but was surrounded by bats that attacked you the second you entered the house- so you either had to fight your way through them, or run in and grab it and run out before dying.
I believe, as you got the dolls and returned them, you we're given either a new power-up or a weapon that made you stronger and better able to get the other dolls. I do remember the colors being very dark and the game was extremely hard for a web-browser game. Like I said, I could never finish it, but I was obsessed with playing it as a kid.
The memory of this game has haunted me for years and I'd love to try and find it again since all web searches have taken me nowhere- well, they actually keep bringing me back to this thread. Guess that's why I'm finally caving and asking.

Looking for a old pc game i played about 10ish years ago.
I vaguely remember the opening and remember a brain that was punched or hit by a child i think.
It may have been a sci fi as i remember the opening part of the game involving walking through a lab hallway to a shooting range where you could try out your characters gun and powers which was to shoot a fireball.

In the early 90s I played a game at someone's house on the PC. It could be an 80's game. The game would allow you to play co-operatively with at least three people when the computer was working properly - 1 person on the mouse, one using keys on the right side of the keyboard, and one using keys on the left side of the keyboard. There was a warrior character, a wizard/mage type character, and I believe a female archer. Maybe there was one more, not sure.
In the game you would go around a 2d maze type level killing things and getting food and potions, and eventually finding black holes that were exits to the next level. I remember at least some of the food looked like a big, roasted turkey or something like that. I think there were pigs lages or something as well. I remember I had an insane amount of fun on it, but was upset that we could only play with two players on the computer.
If anyone has any idea what game it could be, that would be awesome.
Sorry about the multiple posts. The system was being slow so I hit the "I agree" button multiple times. Now I can't figure out how to delete the excess posts.
