Hello! I remember a shareware DOS game, it was an on rails shooter where you controlled a small spaceship. You moved left and right to avoid crashing and you could hit the spacebar to jump. I could be getting a few details wrong. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

Hello again!

There is one more game I am looking for.

It is an economy game for PC & Windows, created around 1997-2001. IIRC, it's designed in an "campaign" mode (you need to complete one scenario to move to a next, more complex one), although I do not remember if there are many campaigns or just one. The player needs to build factories that produce certain materials, then other factories that produce final goods (the only example I remember is "nylon + plastic --> toothbrush"). I am not sure if transporting, distributing and earning money are part of the game (the goals could be "provide a certain amount of X"). At the beginning there were only a few materials and goods that could be produced, but as you progress (complete more scenarios) there is really a lot of resources and goods available.

hello, im trying to figure out this game i use to play on the ps2, theres not much i remember about it, but i do remember that you have either a mark on your hand, or you have a hidden power in your right hand, but im pretty sure it was the power, because i remember a cutscene of it glowing and then people come and attack your castle, but after that you leave the island, and on the way you run into a pirate ship and fight them, but lose

Hi all!
I'm looking for the name of an rpg for ps1, it was set up in a magical world and the character was like a demon who had to fight other demons. It could get through dimensional doors to get to different places within the same levels, and I remember graphics were grayscale. Hope it's not a bullet in the dark :)

Hello everyone,

I remember a PC game from my childhood(14-19 years ago), you were controlling a character from third person view and trying to find cars with guns on them, some cars had pretty cool guns on them some of them were able to drop oil from bottom so that the chasing cars would slip, you were just fighting with other people in cars with guns. I do not remember more but I remember how cool it felt :D Could anyone help me about the name of it ?
Please, this is haunting my dreams! :D Help.
Spy Hunter 2?

Thank you for the answer but I think no, because I remember being able to walk with a character from third person perspective.
But SpyHunter : Nowhere to run looks more similar to the game I ask, I feel like if I see it I will definitely recognize it and so far I didnt get that feeling :D

Please if you can recall, I can't can't can't seem to find this game after hours of searching online!

It's a kids Cd-ROM game from somewhere between 1998-2001. something i think you could pick up at a book fair during that era, but it wasn't a education game.


I think its isometric and 3d.

Your character is stranded on some alien planet where you are trying to collect pieces of a broken spaceship or transporter or something.

there are aliens (most are friendly) that live in villages and caves as well as robots.

throughout the game you are helped and communicating with some young scientist guy (I think he has red hair and a white lab coat).

The game play has pattern puzzles like finding the right path to walk through in an alien garden as well as finding keys and getting past electric pathways.

I don't think you can be violent or attack.

That sounds like Dr. Brain Thinking Games: IQ Adventure!

Trying to think of a few PC games from 90s/early 2000s. Any help appreciated.

One game was a point-and-click adventure/mystery game where I think you were a dragon or dinosaur that was green with yellow hair/spikes. At one point you talked to a seagull. You also took a picture of a lifeguard and he was eaten by a shark when you took it.

Another few games were in a collection, on a CD I think. One was a zorb race game where you play as someone inside a ball racing against other people. Dark colours in city landscapes. In another game in the collection you were in the desert and you were a leopard or lion or tiger, having fights with other ones.

Thanks

It's a few years old now, but Bloons friv [http://www.friv2kizi2.com] 2 would be an interesting addition to the site, along with its magnificent level editor.

Of course, the later installments of the Bloons Tower Defense series can also be found on that site.

Is it possible to acquire these games? They're Mochi-powered, so it's perfectly understandable if they can't be added to AG.

The coolest vehicular combat games I can remember, definitely is the "Interstate" series.
In "Interstate '82" (1999) you could get out of your ride and hop into others.

Hi guys, just registered to find my memory back.
It's a NES game. Very pixelated. The setting is in a kind of castle or mansion. The protagonist starts the adventure near a well.
There are some hidden wells as well, there are many paths inside the house/castle, and some slow moving enemies. It's a rather easy game, yet what intrigued me was the secret in the well.
Many secrets are hidden in the wells.. kind like Lode runner but different. I have tried excavating through my old NES cartridges but to no avail..
I played in a cartridge like 30-in-1 or kinda like that.

Could someone help me out what is the title of the game?

The game might come out around 1980-1990/1995,...

Thanks in advance!
Does anyone know this game? Additional info: the game seems to have many secrets.. but as a mere child, I didn't really understand the secret.. not even the story of the game..

Also it plays from left to right/right to left and in 2D

Hey guys.
It's gonna be vague, cuz I played this game around early 2000s, but I will try to put all details I remember.
It was a win 95/98 game. It wasn't a dos game, because I remember it having a launcher [it was something completely new for me]. The launcher was just a standard rectangle with buttons like "start game" and "options", but there was also a "troubleshooting" button [the 10 yo me was fascinated by that word, because I'm not a native speaker].
The game itself was a top down "space" shooter. You were piloting a Millenium Falcon-like space ship and you were shooting other ships [at least I think it was the main objective of the game]. I put "space" shooter in quotation marks, because you weren't fighting in space, but on the surface of planets of your own choice. The planet/level selection screen was also something innovative back then so I remember it strongly. I think I also was able to pick different space ships, but I'm not sure about that. I also remember that one of the planets [I think it was the first, default level] was dark green/brown and another level was like dark blue and black. Also the graphics were very good for those times. I remember it not being as pixely as other games from that era. The ship and the planets had that weird "modeling clay" Donkey Kong Country feel. Or at least that's how I remembered it, I'm not 100% sure about that.
I know the informations I provided are really not precise, but I have flashbacks of this game for years now and I really wanna play it again. Hope you can help me.

Howdy guys.

This game I played during the early 2000s was a point and click adventure/puzzle game, the main objective was collecting 3/4 different gems in order to beat the game in which I can't remember the ending but I believe you had to put all the gems into some stone or whatever. What I do remember is that it mostly took place in a forest, of what I remember in one area of the forest there's gold lying on the ground. If you try to pick it up you can caught by a rope trap and the trapper walks up to you, if you disable the trap and pick it up it's actually pyrite, fake gold. For getting one gem I think you had to get past/kill some wandering man who might have been wearing a robe, but I believe he wandered randomly across a few rooms.

The next part I remember is once you have all the gems you have to get to an area past a bridge, if you go to fast it collapses so you had to manually lower your walking speed in a menu screen so you can safely walk across it.

It came in one of those basic plastic square containers on a cd as a lot of games did, can't remember the cover of that at all. The game seems pretty obscure as I clearly remember how the graphics and some of the rooms looked and can't find any similar pictures, they weren't cartoonish at all but still had that classic retro pixel look.

Appreciate the help.

Ok, I've been trying to remember this one for awhile. It was a racing game, where your character was a robot/person that transformed into a motorcycle. That is all I can remember except, I know it was after 2002 when we had it, and it was on PlayStation.If you can remember this, thanks.

I remember playing this game before 2010.. It was like world war game or something.. There was a campaign, It had different countries you could choose like Russia, USA, Iran/Iraq and you would build a base, troops and attack the other enemy's base. You would start it out with a HQ and go from there.
Command & Conquer series? > it could be the first installment, or the Red Alert one?

ur the man...... thank you, i was trying so hard to remember this game...

Hello,
Was looking for a game for a while, or better to say for a long long time.

It supposed to be lately 90-s game. First person with some RPG elements.
You start by landing on a parachute in some sort of jungle/forest. By killing 'lizzard men' and other enemies, i guess, you could get their skin and make some clothes, could use bandages, sewing kits, anidotes and so on, as i remember.
Also there is snowy mountains location.

It was more than 15 years ago, so thats all i remember. Would appreciate if someone can help me find this game.
Sounds like Robinson's Requiem.
