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

[Chewster]

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.

I recently remembered that game and it was driving me mad i couldn't remember its name.
After some research I've finally found it! It's "Bioforge", right?

YAAAAAAAAS that's the one! Thanks a lot man, that has been driving me crazy for ages. You da best!

Hi y'all, I'm hoping someone can help me find a game I used to watch my dad play as a very young child. It was a PC game in the late 1990s-early 2000s. All I remember from it was that the setting seemed to be a mix of real life and aliens, there were a bunch of hot air balloons at one point, and there was a windmill. I think one of the objectives of the windmill was to jump up the winding steps of the building but it was missing steps. I *think* you had a little sidekick that might have been a robot or an alien. Sorry this is so vague, but I'm hoping someone will remember exactly what I'm talking about!

It's a long shot, but could it have been Journeyman Project 3: Legacy of Time?

Hi guys, I'm looking for a game that I played when I was young. It was a PC games in the year of 2000s may be, actually I don't know about the release date of it.
In the game you can choose 3 types of character, a young man with sword, a young girl with staff and a man using two-handed axe.

There are several types of magic you can use, fire , ice, lightning and recovery.
Each type of magic divided into 5 levels, I only remember fire and ice.
Fire L1: Single fire ball drop on a single enemy (Auto targeting to nearby enemy)
Fire L2: Fire burning on the left side of right side (depends on character facing direction)
Fire L3: Lava blast at all enemies position
Fire L4: Large explosion (Area of effect)
Fire L5: Fire from the fire phoenix (Area of effect)
Ice L1: Ice Spikes appear at a single enemy's postion (Auto targeting to nearby enemy)
Ice L2: Ice Spikes appear at all enemies' position
Ice L3: Ice wall created on the left side of right side (depends on character facing direction)
Ice L4: Ice Storm (Area of effect)
Ice L5: Ice Age (Area of effect)

Stage 1 - Forest, boss: rock golem
Stage 2 - Floor 1
Stage 3 - Below 1, boss: ice dragon
Stage 4 - Below 2, boss: 2 ghost
Stage 5 - Below 3, boss: skeleton mage
^And this boss I think is a main enemy of the game because my character need to talk to him before battle.
Stage 6 - Floor 2, boss: a large skeleton with scythe-shaded hand
Stage 7 - Floor 3, boss: fire dragon
Stage 8 - Below 4

I just only remember the stage name and the last stage that I reached is 8.

Hi Everyone.

I'm looking for a flash game that I used to play some time between 1995-2002. I can't really remember the period but it was definitely when Pentium 1-4 was being used widely, and having a Pentium 4 was considered a beast already.

It is basically like the game Biplane Bomber 2, but that really isn't that game that I'm looking for. You are supposed to drop bombs on enemy infrastructure, and you can use your gun to shoot enemy biplanes. However, each match starts with you taking off from the small runway that you start at, and you have to land on that same runway when you finish your mission. You could also flip the plane to get an edge over the computer planes chasing you. The fact that after you completed your mission you had to land to really complete it is probably the thing that stands out the most to me, and most of the times, I die because I land incorrectly.

Please help me find this old gem, thank you!

Probably a Wings of Fury port or clone.
Original 1989 version [https://archive.org/details/msdos_Wings_of_Fury_1989]. (Doesn't appear to work on Chrome)
Flash remake [http://www.rastaduck.org/games/WingsOfFury/WingsOfFury.html].

Help please. I think the game was on windows xp back in 2000-2004 i think the protagonist was superstrong and could lift a yellow taxi with his hands. You could also beat up goons and the guy was i think dressed in yellow clothes. The game was a demo and the first mission was near a park with benches. It was also not full 3d. That's what i remember.

I've got a tabletop/board game that I'm curious about. I played it roughly...23-24 years ago and only remember a few specifics so please bear with me, I'll try to be as specific as possible.

This board game was a medieval fantasy game which had up to (I believe) three or four players and a DM/GM type of character who controlled the monsters. The board itself was sectioned into spaces and there were small cardboard "walls" you could erect and pin to the board with some grey stone-textured pieces. As a small side note there were also movable doors in the walls and I think chests you could open as well.

There were three or four player characters, one of them was a Conan-style barbarian, and I want to say there was a Dwarf, but that's all I remember, though I do know each character had a grey plastic weapon that you could upgrade to a gold version and put in your character model's hands.

Now, the main reason I remember this game, and probably the most memorable feature was this "wand" thing that was used to determine the order of the characters and maybe the DM/GM. The wand had four slots open in it and four beads, red, blue, yellow, and green. You shook the wand around and then turned it so that it was "upside down" and pushed the point down into a holder to show the play order of the characters for that turn.

That's about as much as I can remember. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Might not be this, but reminded me of a video I like about HeroQuest.

I think I probably played this in the early 2000s, could have been a 90s game. Played it on PC, could have been a demo or minigame on another game. It was a third person game where you played as a battleship or something. I can't remember if you transformed into a sub to avoid things or if there were enemies that were subs. There were bonuses to be picked up while floating around and I think the objective was to get through the level by avoiding or confronting enemy ships. The world and graphics was sorta voxelly I think but the ships weren't. Difficult to remember much more

Hello,
I`m looking for a game which i played around 2003. It was a civilization game, with prehistoric people who lived in huts. The game is 3D and the map is a globe. So you could view around the globe. The player had to defeat the other civilization on the other half of the globe. There were gods, who can make fire rains and things like that. You could build houses, sanctuary etc. If anyone knows the game, please reply to this.Thanks, and I hope i descriped it correctly.

When I was a little child (5 years old), I used to play a pc game in which you had to get groceries from the supermarket with a shopping list. I also remember some kind of bear and other animals in it, and there were other games you could play.. but I don't remember the name of it

what were the other games? can you recall

 

[shadowbobber]

Alright, I got something, two in fact. I doubt I would ever get an answer but goSH I really want to play these again

1. Okay, so there is this one game that's been on my mind for way too long but I cannot find out what the name is called. You first start out with a seed and you can get a robin to eat it or put it into a pot and either make a rose or a venus fly trap, you can feed a fly to the fly trap. I cannot remember all of it but there are options and it was so addicting and weird and fun. There is an eggplant there and the robin and make a tiny egg or a big egg, the big egg can create a baby bird which has angel things around it and you can kill it. The eggplant is supposedly a devil. I probably sound insane but I need to know the name of that game!

2. okay well the second one I'm tryna figure out, you play as like a green dragon or dragonfly and all you do is fly around, defeating monsters, like one looks like a crustacean worm that's in the ocean and another is in the desert that's like a spider worm. The first monster is that you go through ruins and have to defeat a bigger version of yourself and you can shoot fire.

I would love to play these again.

What system are they on?

 

[Damien Gaster]

Pajama sam is what comes to mind, i could be wrong, spefically no need to hide when it's dark outside

 

[pepperoniparty]

Please put me out of my misery. I've spent too many nights trying to remember what this game is.

Platform: Windows PC (could be a multi platform game though)
Genre: action/adventure

The main character was a knight/warrior in armor and was voiced. The main quest was maybe about a sword? The most distinctive thing I remembered about the game was the ridiculous, lighthearted humor. The main character had a almost pompous tone and he had plenty of absurd lines.

The game was quite colorful and had a fantasy/medieval setting.

 

[lumaleelumabop]

Looking for a game i used to play probably about 10yrs ago or so on some computer game website. It was a about an orange/gray boxy robot but he was like a mailbox also i think. You had to guide him through puzzles to get him to the end of each level. There was like heat things and electric things you couldnt touch. Please i really wanna play this game again any help would be appreciated!

 

[Googolplexian]

Might not be this, but reminded me of a video I like about HeroQuest.

Actually, thanks to your suggestion I found what I was looking for. It turns out I was thinking of a game called Dark World which is apparently famous for being quite overproduced. Thank you for push in the right direction.

 

[Claudiu Lucaci]

Hi guys.There was a game i used to play like 6-7 years ago,i think it was on y8 or something like this.Basically it was kinda like sword and sandals but you would ride a dinosaur and fight with another dinosaur,and you could upgrade your dinosaur and your weapons and you played agains a robot,it was not multiplayer,please help me

 

[alphabtc]

i tried searching to no avail...

This game was on PC and it was 3rd person. It consisted of you jetpacking or flying your island (or hovership connected to balloons) and attacking other islands. Another key feature was you had to man each gun to fight the other islands. It's a steampunk style game... that's all I have.

not much but thanks for trying.

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 squares (I think?) and sharp red/blue/green colors, and forest/magic/crystal shards?/etc.

Repost because I'm still desperate to find it.

Is it "Puzzle Inlay"?

Nooo. Still loking btw, but I start to think there was 'puzzle' in the name? Maybe?
