(bumping my post)

i remember play this DOS emulator but for the life of me I can't remember the name of the game

the game starts out with the character in his bedroom woken up from a thunderstorm, there a boombox you can use in the beginning to play a heavy metal song but enough of that. the game continues with you breaking out of your room to find you're in an alien building and have to solve puzzles to escape and go back home, but in the end, you cant.
That's "Out of Order" (2003).

Let's get straight to it. I played it around 2006, 2007 on Windows xp. It was a rts game, fantasy themed, and 4X. There was 3 or 4 races, human, angel, undead and maybe another. Each race had an amazing 3D intro when you enter the main city. You build structures in the cities and train troops. I remember humans can eventually train griffins, and undead bone drakes? Also, every few turns passed had a different name, like week of the elephant or month of the owl and they granted different buffs or debuffs. Combat was like tbs. That all I can remember for sure. Plz help!
That's most likely a game out of the "Heroes of Might and Magic" series.
If it had "amazing 3D" I'd look at #5 and/or newer.

In 2008-2009, as a teen I remember watching my uncle play this one game. It was first person perspective, dark fantasy of some sort. I remember uncle saying that this game was hard af. You made multiple choices (even in ending you can choose to make a good world or to succumb the world in evil and rule it). In one scene, I remember, a demon woman walks up to you and "enters" inside your mind, and from now on she comments on a lot of stuff that happens in game. Later in game you can choose to either let her stay, or to exorcise yourself in some sort of ritual. There were good sides and bad sides of both choices. The other thing I remember is that in one moment one girl (I don't know how) got trapped in some sort of spider cave? And you could choose to go down there and save her, or kind of abandon her. I know I didn't say much, it is a pretty fragmented memory + English is not my first language, so this description can be pretty messy, sorry for that ^^"
"Dark Messiah of Might & Magic" (2006), it's by the people who later went on to make "Dishonored" and "Prey".
A great game, if you love spiders you've got to play it.
That's it! Thank you very much. :3

I've been searching for a game I played when I was very little, and I think you guys can find it.
I remember playing it on the PC, the disk was green, it was raining and dark, I think the view was some sort of top-down view, and there was an ill dragon/creature that I needed to help (I guess), then later on I had to chase down some other creature, that I think was a wolf or werewolf. I'm sorry for the confusing explanation.

I have a game in mind that I cannot remember. It was an old flash (but also downloadable to PC from a website). It had few levels. It starts with few red balls falling from the top of the screen and you are controlling a small animal with big ears who shoots rope to make the balls smaller and eventually get rid of them. There were few power ups like double rope, metal rope that stuck to the top and time freeze. Can anyone remember it?

If I heard "ill dragon" the first game coming into mind would be "Little Big Adventure 2" (1997)

So.. this can be a hard one but i really need to find the game cuz is messing with my head.
So it was an adventure online game and maybe terror too. It was with episodes and i remember there was one in the train and the objective it was to find cleus so you be able to end the game BUT if you click on a object that didn't give you a clue.. a shadow came closer to your character, and if you click (4x i think) in a object that dind't give you a clue the shadow would kill and your character die and you have to restart the game oc.
I know it was a woman as the main character with a male partener and maybe the game was made by Warner Bros., because i remember to the start of the game appear the logo "WB".
PS: Sorry for my bad english..

The game i am searching for was on pc. You could play it with two and alone. If you played with two people, then you each were a robot,blue or red, and you needed to make tanks and airplanes to get them into the enemy's camp.

When u played alone you were also a robot going through different stages/levels defeating little minions and always a boss on the end.

Oooh yeah the robot could transform from walking to floating. I hope someone knows this game haha.

I used to play a 2d-ish adventure platformer-ish game involving you playing as some people in alternating settings, jumping around and attacking with water that would gradually become more powerful by collecting water blobs. I played it on an ipad 1 around 2009 or so, i hope it still exists, but if it no longer does I would still love to know the name. Thanks in advance :")

I'm looking for old real/time strategy game with following characteristics:
- it was game when you could build different tanks in factories which could be upgraded base on scientist point to produce better/stronger units (each factory was specialized to make only one type of unit)
- you could also build walking robots from special plants
- for points you were also able to build fixed defense units to protect your factories, scientist buildings and main tower
- the main tower produced something like alien spaceship which could destroy enemy buildings/defense towers or repair yours
- you could also call special air units which destroys certain area once or bring you additional units
- there was also moving unit with the power of nuke, when it was destroyed (you were sending it as closer as possible to enemy area)
- the last mission was unreal, i have never done it :D also I remember mission where you protected 4 these nuclear units with these robots

Thanks for helping, I have a feeling, it had a word WAR in the name of the game.[/quote]


the game might be named world of war not sure tho if U found out its name tell me

Probably Future Cop: LAPD [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6L5DMVWP0AM]. You could actually play both modes with 1 or 2 people... If you have 1 person in the tanks/airplanes mode, you fight against an AI named Skycaptain. And if you have 2 people in the story mode, you both work together. =)

My hopes are low, but...

-Looking for a pc game, probably from the 90s. If not DOS, it was a very early windows cd-rom title.
-I think it had "quest" in the name somewhere, but I can't quite recall.
-2d graphics
-had separate rooms you clicked to move between, sort of like a point and click adventure.
-different rooms had different games you could play within them. one of them I believe was similar to Zuma, another had you as some sort of dog running around collecting bones and some other items while avoiding people.
-The games seemed a bit incomplete. I think it was a demo disk of sorts, though my young mind didn't realize it at the time, but not sure.

Sorry the details aren't too helpful. It's been a while.
Hard to tell, but I think you played a demo disk of various MECC published games, specifically MayaQuest Trial and Troggle Trouble Math.
Holy cow, thank you SO much! MayaQuest Trail doesn't LOOK familiar, but I'm guessing it was the name that ended up poking my brain the most. Troggle Trouble Math DEFINITELY looks familiar from it and is the dog game I mentioned. Thank you so much!

Hi! I'm looking for an old DOS side scrolling shooter. I don't remember a whole lot but, I remember being able to shoot in pretty much any direction, and a specific weapon being able to essentially let you fly if you shot in a downwards direction. Not being able to find it is doing my head in, so any help would be appreciated!

**$20 reward to whoever finds this!**

I'm searching for an old PC game I played around 12-15 years ago but I don't remember much about it so this is a bit of a long shot. I'm not entirely sure if it was a flash game on a website or just some random game from a CD or something but I'm leaning towards the latter. You had to put out tables and chairs and stuff and serve drinks to the people that came in. I'm assuming you also had to make the drinks but I don't actually recall that in particular. You could also place things in the room like a pool table and possibly a pinball machine.

Not much to go on here but thanks for any help!

*Cash money (or paypal) to whoever can solve the mystery*

Hello everyone,

I enjoy terrible FMV games, and have been completely unable to find any trace of a game I played back in the mid 90s. I've tried Gamefaqs, Reddit, you name it, and I got nothing. If you have a spare minute, I was hoping you might be able to take a stab at it. Here's what I can remember:

I'm almost 100% certain it was a PC game, although there's a small chance it was on PS1

The opening FMV shows a military guy who tells you about a nuke that's been planted on a tropical island in the Pacific.
It's going to go off any minute! There's no time to send someone in person to stop it, but they can parachute in a robot that you can remote control!

You control the robot from a first-person perspective. The robot's view is in the top half of the screen. Surrounding the view are your inventory, weapons, map, etc.

The game uses a nodal movement system as the robot explores the island. The island is mostly jungle, save for a few buildings which you can enter and explore.

I distinctly remember the robot has three weapons: a laser, poison gas, and missiles. Each has a limited supply, and when an enemy comes on screen (which were all scripted events), you have to pick the right weapon before they can attack. Failing to react in time, or picking the wrong weapon, results in game over.

I remember two enemies for certain: a giant carnivorous plant (which you have to gas), and a dinosaur (which I think needed a missile?).

When the robot gets destroyed, you get a game over FMV of the same military guy telling you that you screwed up big time. Then a little animation of a mushroom cloud.

Hopefully that rings a bell for someone out there. I've been looking for this for all of my 20s and 30s with no luck so far. Thanks!
