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

[Irina Urnova]

Hi everyone,

please help me find the game!. its been killing me that i cant trace it at all!

It was a game on Macintosh in the beginning of 90ies so maybe it was developed in the 80ies or like 90-93. As i recall it was named Diabolo (not Diablo), but i found nothing by that name.
It was 2d, you would look from the top down a like in 80s Bolo, the graphics was similar too, but with brighter and cheerier colours.
There was a yellow furball-like little creature, that you had to walk trough a maze of stonewalls and bushes. You could move some of the stone blocks to go through and collect (eat) strawberries one the way. And the danger was coming from lava that would gradually flood the space so you had to move through the maze before it got you. I think there was water too. Overall landscape was outdoors - lawn, stones, bushes.
Does anyone have a clue what it was? Im lost, i literally found nothing as if it vanished but my friend also remembers it (we played it on our teacher`s computer) and her recollections match mine, so I know im not crazy and didnt just imagine it haha
I also suspect that it came with the computer as our teacher wasnt really a gamer and i would be surprised if he downloaded it intentionally.

Okay so I didn't play this game, just watched someone play it and all I can remember is:
A girl broke down (I think) in the middle of the desert and finds this house (with a barn, water tank and outdoor shower). She sleeps there and the front door starts shaking. She goes to see what it is and the door opens and a Native American spirit is standing there? A guy in the family she is staying with comes out. The next day or the day before I think she finds some ominous stuff on the wall of the outdoor shower. They also go visit some ancient burial ground near the house. That's all I can remember, hopefully one you know!

Beyond two souls maybe?

Hey guys, really need some help on this one.

Its an old side scrolling game where your character is a yellow bird or chicken or something with blue shoes. It can't fly but it can hover if you mash the jump button. You can get power ups from enemies when you kill them in the game. Laser guns and space ships are the ones i can remember. I played this in an arcade maybe 13 years ago and here lately I've been driving myself crazy trying to find it! Any help would be much appreciated!

Ok, so I remember playing this pretty old pc game in my childhood, specifically about 2008/9 but it could be older. It was a 2D spaceship battle with split screen for up to (I believe) 4 players on one pc, there was also an option to fight against bots. There was a bunch of different weapons, including dropping minions and guns that automatically target other players who come by. Floating islands of dirt everywhere, a "weapon" option was also digging. Die and respawn, no actual winners or losers (might have been a setting but if so we never played it differently). There were small round-ish platforms around the map that had "REPAIR" written over them. Landing on those would slowly refill your healthbar while also allowing you to switch between weapons. Oh and also, there were different maps you could play in.

Obviously I don't know the name of this game but it was a pc browser game where you could hatch dragon eggs and train those dragons. There was also a wizard world where you could ride a broom, make potions, and use a wand where you can cast spells. There was a hub world too with like a giant trampoline.

If none of you can find it I still appreciate you trying thanks!

I'm looking for this computer game that might have been released in the early 2000's at the latest. Or it might have been the 90's I don't know.

Anyway, it's a 2D game where you travel through a 3 or 4 story building finding race car parts. All floors are on screen you just move left and right. You pass through doors, or sometimes they are blockaded and the only way to get past them is to solve a math puzzle. The only enemy I remember there being is a monkey I believe. Well, you feed them a banana and it makes them sleep. At the end of the level you race this guy, based on the car parts you found, but the race is automatic and you don't actually control it. From what I remember, you always race the same guy throughout the game.

This is a game I played at a young age and only during the holiday season because it was at my relatives house and they didn't live close to us. Once a hurricane hit in 2005, the house was destroyed and I haven't played the game since. This is also why I have trouble remembering most of it.

It was back in '09-'10 i really dont remember this game, it was a multiplayer free browser game which consisted of you selecting a character and you will explore different worlds(stages) but you only could do that if you (glitch, or fully upgrade your character) in order to upgrade your character you had to either jump to very high places and you will get a +1 on your jump// the world had alot of monsters if you defeated on you could get +1 strength// and if you moved very fast you could get +1 speed// how ever in the start you get 100 free bombs thats basiaclly the most usable weapon but after that you had to buy other bomb packages in order to go against the monsters or the other players online// if you couldnt go over to the next stage you had to find a way in order to// everyone had the same setup but the difference was how you played it// and it made some players teamwork or ffa// it was a fun game, i miss this game, any idea what the name is? i really dont remember since i was more focused on playing it instead of details ;p

That was probably Super Solvers: Gizmos & Gadgets!

Yes it is! Thank you so much!

Ok I am looking for an adventure game, may have been browser based. It was in multiple parts and started off outside an old mine. There was a stargate like portal that needed special cells to operate it. traveling thru the portal would lead you to other cells which opened up other destinations. If I remember correctly you eventually find out someone was watching you to steal the cells for their own use and in the last part you have to travel to the center of the network to shut the system down.

Could that have been the Submachine series?

Hiya! Like most here...I am trying to figure out the name of a game I played like 20-25 years ago on the computer. I started searching through each page to see if this was going to be a duplicate game but after 16 of the 859 pages, I started seeing spots so here's my inquiry:

It was a top down, tower defense/strategy game kinda...where you have these little people with different colored shirts, I think. Each little character could be assigned a different job. Like there were builders and scientists and weapon makers, etc. IIRC, the scientists and weapon makers wouldn't do anything until you made houses for them...so...You built houses and set traps for the enemies. Then, randomly (maybe), flying monkeys would slowly fly over to you and attack. (and you could create flyers too). They would sometimes get into the trees but you could put your own little people in the trees and the enemies would die if they came down that tree. You could also go attack them. I think the top tier building you could create was a castle with a mote or a helicopter pad. I believe the game was won by a side when all of your people or the enemy was dead.

Through my searching, I found that the original Civilization has a very similar look as the game I'm trying to remember here.

Anyone know or remember the name of the game? Or even know what I'm babbling about? Thanks kindly!!!!

Could that have been Baldies?

I can't remember this game I played and I was like 5 but I think I know the company it's either Black Hammer or infogames but this game had like a wizard and Dragons or something of that line it was like fantasy clicking based

Hey guys!
Just gonna start off and say that you are all live savers and I really appreciate all the effort you guys put into this.
So I've got two old childhood games that I can't seem to remember the names of.
The first: All I remember is that it's a carnival and when the game opens up, you are in your bedroom. There were probably missions and stuff but that's all i can remember.
The second: I remember even less from this game. All I remember is that I think there was an attack called "Big Bertha" that was some kind of large explosion. Maybe an attack called bouncing betty's too but I'm not sure. It definitely wasn't any kind of violent game or first person shooter because I know I was very young. I've tried looking on Google for video games with the words "big bertha" in them but I got some weirdass arcade game that's probably one of the creepiest things I've ever seen lol.
I know that I've given barely any details but I really hope someone knows what I'm talking about. They should be early 2000's games. Thank you ahead of time!

I'm just gonna give this a little bump and increase the bounty to $15

Battletanx: Global Assault [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6OZKiSa-PnY] had Bouncing Betty mines, and I'm 90% it had something called "Big Bertha" in it... I seem to recall "Big Bertha" was the name of the Goliath tank's main gun, but it could also be the mini-nuke, some base-mounted cannon, a character's name, or something else. I *immediately* associated the name with that game.

Thank you very much but unfortunately this isn't the game I'm thinking about. It doesn't look familiar at all and I didn't have an N64 or Playstation. I'm sure it was on an old Windows PC. I'm very doubtful that I'll be able to ever find out the name of the game because I remember so little about it. The other one should be easier though.

Regarding the first game, I seem to remember that in the bedroom there is a window on the ride side of the room and I think you can see a ferris wheel outside the window.

I'm looking for a game that was very simple but which i enjoyed immensely. It was early windows era. 95 or beyond. it is essentially a mixture of pong/brick breaker games with the heads of old men as targets. you would bounce the ball into their face and it would change.

have never found it. been looking for years.

Hey everyone,

I have a game that's been haunting me for almost 2 years now. It's a fighting game for the PS2 where people have powers that make them look like demons. There are 4 protagonists and they are all teenagers. The main protagonist who you play on the adventure/story mode has an arm cannon and transforms into a demon looking character that has two arm cannons. The other protagonists are two guys who's powers are respectively, a bladed arm that can shoot seeker projectiles and legs that look mechanical which he can use to make a sonic boom-esque attack with. The final protagonist is a girl who has an m16/m203 as a weapon and her power is that she has a guardian angel (as in a literal angel with her). I remember one of the bosses is a women that can create crystals that shoot laser beams.

(P.S. the graphical style of the game is similar to Devil May Cry and each character can transform into a empowered/demonic version of themselves)
(P.S.S. the developer and/or publisher is most likely a Japanese one)
Thanks in advance if any of you guys can find this!

Hi all
I?m trying to recall the name of a phone game I played some years ago.
It was a third person shooter which involved youbas a square shaped man with a gun fighting back waves of furry black monsters. As the waves progressed larger black fluffy/spiky monsters appeared and when shot they split into the smaller monsters. It had a night time theme and I believe you could pick up other weapons which included a flame thrower I believe.
Sorry not much to go on but any ideas would be appreciated.
