Trying to find a PC game I want to say was made in the 90s. It was First Person view. I remember you go into a mansion and discover the family that lives in the mansion are all supernatural beings. I believe one was a vampire another was a werewolf I think the protagonist was investigating a murder but I could be wrong about that. Played it when I was a child so can't remember much more about it. I remember a scene where the photograph of the family morphs into their supernatural appearances with one man missing his head.
"Clive Barker's Undying" (2001).

hi, it's me, the person who found this thread on google and made an account just to post in it.

This game has been bugging me for a really long time. It was a PS1 RPG (it could possibly be PS2 tho). I think it was all 2D, and the main sections were isometric. There were two playable characters that you switched between at certain points in the story - one was a hero and the other was a villain, and i believe the villain wasn't human. But, like, "not human" in the way that laharl isn't human, the anime demon/monster type of guy. Don't quote me on this, but I think he was going to school to learn how to be a good bad guy? In any case, you would swap between the two of these characters, and their stories converged at one point where you play as the hero and you fight the other character as a boss, and he joins your party when you defeat him.

I don't really remember anything about the overarching story to the game. It had an aesthetic similar to Final Fantasy 9, but I know it wasn't that.

Games I know aren't it: any Arc the Lad, any Final Fantasy, Chrono Cross, Breath of Fire 4, Threads of Fate, any Wild ARMs, Disgaea.
These are all games that I've played and know aren't it, or have been suggested by friends and I don't recognize or haven't played. I could be wrong though... If it is one of these I'll hate myself forever.

I'm half convinced by this point that it doesn't exist, and that I dreamed it up, or maybe it's some weird memory amalgamation of several forgotten games that are getting more and more jumbled up as time goes on. If anyone can tell me this game, I will pledge myself to serve thee until the end of days.

Good and bad news... I'm pretty sure that's Disgaea 3: absence of Justice.

Got a pretty vague one here but need help!! Mid to late 00s online PC game (addicting games, nitrome kinda vibe) it?s very similar to Jezzball/Fat Slice/Snake in the sense that you are some form of eating creature cutting up shapes and decreasing the overall size of the ?enemy?. Definitely involved percentages. Probably pastel

Can someone please help me with this one?

It's an old game, say beginning of the 2000s. I remember being an RPG game where you controled several characters, one of them being a Minotaur-boy creature (there was also a warrior). It's like a turn-based rpg and the fields were like a chess table. I looked it up and it's sort of like Partia, but instead when you entered a fight, the characters would become bigger. I remember you could fight goblins and other monsters.

I've been dying to remember the name of this game, but no success. Help!

This one's been bugging me for a while. It's a handheld game console from the early 2000s, maybe from around 2001-2008. I can't remember exactly what the console looked like but it had a red and black exterior and had buttons on the right side and arrow keys on the left. The game was black and white, pixelated (8 bit or 16 bit) and simple enough for a 10 yr old to play but still pretty complex.

You would create a robotic/monster-like character that is made up of the head, torso, and legs, and you would move your character around this maze-like dungeon and the mission is to find the exit while defeating enemies that look similar to your character. It was quite difficult to my 10-year old self to find the exit because of the dead-ends and locked doors. And once you run into an enemy (much like in the Pokemon games how you have to battle trainer before you pass them), you go into a battle where you take turns. But during the fight, you don't have any control over how the battle will be played out so you just watch each player taking a strike at the other. Before running into the enemies, you would configure your character's head, torso, and legs to have the best defense and attack. And when you won the battle, I think you were given rewards such as better parts for your character. I remember one of the attacks being a lego-like hand shooting out like Inspector Gadget. I can't remember if there were hp or str stats that affected how the battle played out.

When your character moved across the screen, there was a harsh 8-bit beep, and when you successfully hit or defend in a battle, a low 8-bit beep would be emitted. The map of the dungeon was very simple with thick bordered walls, and sliding doors. Some of these doors would be locked until you defeat the boss.

This is pretty much all I remember of the game, and it's killing me not knowing the name of it. I'm not even sure if anyone's ever played it as well. I might as well archive it in my deepest corner of nostalgia. But I would very much appreciate anyone helping me out!

Help guys, I remember a game that is basically looking for a hidden object, not those modern hidden objects in a bunch of objects. It's like a picture and things that mixes up makes an image looking object, it's a 2D image and if I'm right, I think I played it in a .exe with a bundle of other games inside as well such as Metal Gear Slug. I still remember looking for a hammer but it was either on someone's hair or a wall

Ok, now I need help. It's old sci-fi strategy game with really strange atmosphere. It was with side view and side-scrolling not isometric view like most strategy games. You could choose from three or four maybe different races of alien creatures to play and those were not humanoid creatures - more like wierd, primitive animals floating across the maps. So with those you were able to colonize next planets and teleport from one to another colonizing whole system I think so in the end of the game you were conquering the world in the middle of the system. Of course you were building some constructions with different roles and gathering resources (but actually maybe resources you were getting from factories I am not sure). Maybe also there were some artifacts to gather. I remember game to be very nice looking - well drawn with lots of details so it was not like very very old. Just old :p But 2d for sure. 90's I guess. I was playing this as a kid and have a lot good memories with it and with its unique graphic style. Every few years I am reminding myself the game and getting huge urge to play but then I am not able to remember myself the name :( PLS HELP!

Please helppp! I used to play a game at 90's , which was shooter game.I remember the game involved 1 or 2 players depending on ur own wish. anyway, the game was about killing demons or zombies or monsters with guns , the purpose of the game was to reach to final bosses who had like weak points in where shooting them at leads the highest damage. i remember also their was a doctor involved in the game, a lab and some cops. i remember also one of the bosses were a flying monster that i guess had weak point in his stomach. more hints were that the game had like a mother and a baby and unfortunately (not sure) the baby died while going to the lab to defeat the final boss. i don't really remember any hints about the name of the game, but i guess it was dead something or involved the word dead. more hints that it have like 2-3 parts and everyone differ from other. Thanks so much and pls help me to retrieve my childhood game. :)

After hundreds of google searches and looking through ebay, toysrus,amazon etc. I finally found it. It's called P-O-X by Hasbro lol. Looking at it again I realize my description wasn't that accurate. Oh well, cheers!

Okay so.. I can't remember a lot but I'll try my best. Not sure when this game was release but its pretty old, something like 2000'ish.. Its RTS and I remember there was like 3 factions or something. The first was some kind of blue monsters or whatever they were, the second some kind of green mutated flies and the third was females only faction that used men to build buildings? (Idk..) One thing that I really remember is that there is a day and night cycle and as soon the evening comes, all your population goes to sleep and then wakes up in the morning and continues to expand and work.
Could it be <link=https://www.mobygames.com/game/alien-nations>Alien Nations or its sequel <link=https://www.mobygames.com/game/nations>The Nations possibly?
Oh my god yes! That was "The Nations"! Thanks man!

Hi I'm looking for a game I think was in the (late?) 90's.. but not sure. I'll try to describe as much as I can. It's sort of an educational game. Starts with a 'monkey' kid, in a classroom. They get a pop quiz on ancient greece, and he gets sucked into the chalkboard and ends up in ancient greece. He has to solve all kinds of puzzles about the ancient gods and other stuff. At the end he goes back to class and does his pop quiz. Any ideas?
I need to know if anyone found this game. I have been looking got the same one. Unfortunately this post is from a few years ago, but i'm still looking. This is the exact explanation i give others.. plus the teacher saying " A Horse is not always a Horse ofcourse, ofcourse! "
