Hi guys, I'm looking for a game that I played when I was young. It was a side-scrolling CD game on PC platform in the year of 2000s may be(or 2000-2005), actually I don't know about the release date of it. I've tried my best to remember most of the game details but I cant remember the name of it.

The starting animation is talking about a man was locked in a tower in the sky, a mage(maybe?) casted magic to free him.
Although the game is side-scrolling game, it looks like 2.5D. The background is 2D picture but your character and the enemies are 3D image. It is a kind of adventure game, and you have a health bar and mana bar on the top left hand corner.
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.
I remember some of the default button which are "Z" and "X", "Z" is using a light attack and "X" is a heavy attack.

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)

And here are the stage and the boss that I try my best to remember.
Stage 1 - Forest, boss: rock golem
Stage 2 - Floor 1
Stage 3 - Below 1, boss: ice drake
Stage 4 - Below 2, boss: 2 ghost
Stage 5 - Below 3, boss: skeleton mage(necromancer)
^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 flying, upper body, large skeleton with both scythe-shaded hand(hand bone)
Stage 7 - Floor 3, boss: fire drake
Stage 8 - Below 4

One more thing there are 5 different BGM in the game. Each of them is used for Stage1-5 respectively. And Stage 6 use the first BGM and so on.

I just only remember the stage name and the last stage that I reached is 8.
Please help me with this, it is a memory for me and I try my best to remember the details of it.

Could it have been a Necron monolith from Dawn Of War: Dark Crusade [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=imEdWMqXkWY&list=PLQRdrQSwkk6EcyHtR_6jap5RYeOQaW1Zx]? =)

Hi Everyone.

Well, I think my descriptions should sound strange at first, but I swear this game exists. It's a simple game with moving platforms where you need to move the main character to the other side of screen, to rescue some items, and then return back to the original side.

I remember the platforms is moving upward and downward, and as the game progress it's start to have some obstacles. There was enemies, portals, crystals that deactivate the lasers(that protect the items), some of the platforms were black and you can go up or down on them. If I'm not mistaken the items on the other side was househould items like a fridge, a television and a toilet. I also remember that in the end, when you finish all levels you just take all these things and put them on a chariot and leave.

I found this game once, but I lost my HDD and since then I can't find it.

Thanks in advance.

Hello, in 1998 I played a game that was similar to Descent/Forsaken, it was on the PC and I always played it as local (of course) multiplayer, wherein my brother would always cream me. But I cant remember what it is?

Hi guys, there is this game i played as a child but i dont remember what the name is
i probably played it on some emulator and im assuming the game is from 80s

its was a horizontal scrolling shooter game, with the playable character flying in superman pose
each stage you had ability to merge with 2 potential characters, giving you a powerup
final boss was an alien alligator in a big robot, and when he loses he runs away in a rocket

Could be Wu Song from Suiko Enbu [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMdYLH5WdlA], also known as 'Outlaws of the Lost Dynasty' and 'Dark Legend' (he's fought at 19:23 in the video I linked).

Hi guys, I'm trying to remember an 80s, possibly early 90s, game which I played on PC. It's a 2D, horizontal-only adventure game set in a medieval land. Hardly any colours involved, maybe 16 or 32... and basic blocky cartoon graphics. I can't remember if it was a point and click or keyboard only though.

I could have sworn it was called Avalon, and the main character was called was a guy called Avi or similar, but I've not managed to find it yet. The game had a sense of humour from what I can remember, and I'm pretty sure there's a monk character you can talk to.

Sorry, that's not a lot to go on... hope someone can help.



UPDATE: 2 hours later, and I've found it! So happy. Lord Avalot: http://www.abandonia.com/en/downloadgame/1003

Hello guys.At start I have to say that I sorry for my bad english. I have to find a minigame. It was 2d platform. You were controlling a plane, which have been built from squares and triangles. Whole game was looking like that(everywhere triangles/squares. Also your enemies(also planes)). You could connect destroyed enemies to yourself making your plane stronger. You were flying from left to right (like mario). In one level you had to beat 2 bosses. I bet it was produced somewhere in 2002-2006.
Hope someone knows it.

Hi,
I'm trying to find the name of an old racing game. It's a 2D Nascar style racing game. It was a side view and you raced around an oval style track. The controls were strange for a racing game. On the straits left and right increased your speed. Up and down move you that way on the track. On the corners at each end you had to slow down to a certain speed first and if I remember right it turned your automatically. I think it was a shareware game in the 90's maybe on a PCZONE / PCGAMER cd???
It had Nascar cars, pit stops and you raced for alot of laps / coud choose no. laps. Crashing also spun your can in a pre animated way i believe.
Any one remember this game???

I used to play a game where you were on another world and it was point of view (or first person shooter, I guess). There was an abandoned building where you hooked up cables to get info either on a screen or numerical. Then you went down hill and found a vehicle that you jump started to get to a power plant for more info. Then there was a space ship you had to get started etc... I thought it was called the Crystal Cave or something like that. Thanks in advance.

Hi Everyone! Can you guys help me finding an old game?

The game is a platform where you have a small spaceship wich you can fly around the map with,but you can also leave the spaceship and play as the character himself. You can enter and leave this spaceship anytime,as long as the spaceship is landed. I don't actually remember the plot, but it looks like the objective is to defeat the enemies around the map, (turrets, etc) and reach the end of the level. It is a 2D game and is a Side-Scrolling (but you can also go "down" in certain parts) It is a 2D Platform, pixelated , and scy-fi style. I remember that I played it in a Sega Emulator in Windows XP called "SEGA BEST" or something like that (btw if you know where can I get this emulator would be extremely helpfull too), and thats all. I have a vague and uncertain memory of the spaceship being white with a blue window, but I'm not sure. Please help me if you Know something that looks like that

Thanks :)

It wasn't exactly a ship (a tank with rocket boosters) but otherwise that sounds like Blaster Master 2.

Could that have been The Crystal Key?
