Hey! I was wondering if anyone knows the name of this old pc game i played when i was a kid.
It was about doing as much crap as possible at your office where you worked without getting caugh to complete the level.
I remeber you could interact with office objects like a printer and make it unusable, i also remember at the end of each level a splash screen showing a big explosion with papers and computers flying everywhere.
Does anyone here ever heard of that game?
Thanks

Sounds like "Sacked! your last day".

Hey, so, there is this game I used to play as a child but I can't find it. It came on a CD with a yellow and black nuclear sign from some kind of computer-related magazine I think. Some things I can still remember:

-Name was something like war strike, or world war.
-It definitely wasn't a DOS game, it ran under a Windows 98.
-You were looking at a battlefield from an isometric view.
-Player was blue, computer (enemy) was green.
-It was a strategic game where you had to destroy enemy base, or palace. Both players had UAV, which had multiple purposes. You could conquer new factories or destroy enemy vehicles with it.
-Level of tanks that were produced by factories depended on the level of the factories, I think the highest level was 3 or 4. There were also those mechanical two-legged robots with guns, similar to AT-ST from Star Wars.

Thanks in advance for any clues or tips.

Okay, i found it, its called state of war. By the way, if you need to find some rts game, you can try this wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_real-time_strategy_video_games

Ok I have a tough one. There is this game that is a CD game but have to plug in a USB cord into the computer from a large figurine that has a dock on top with magnets and you have smaller figures that have magnets on the bottom for docking onto the larger figure. It is a top down 3D open world that has other areas only accessible with certain figures and some include Speed Racer, Mr. Bones, a shark guy, Royalton Racer Etc..., But the issue is that I cant remember its name and it is very similar to club penguin island.

PLEASE help it is driving me insane and I want it back

Hi, I'm looking for a point and click game... it was about aliens and you played with a guy wearing a green bath robe and slippers. There was a radio in your room. There was a theater full of weird creatures. Outside your room were some other rooms with those hand scanners.
If I'm not mistaken, in the end you discover that you're actually a clone living in another dimension or something.
Well, thanks in advance.

I think this is actually a game called Out Of Order, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Out_of_Order_(video_game). I just spent like 30 minutes hunting it down for my wife which led me to this thread. I'm currently looking for somewhere to obtain a copy, so if anyone know where to get one please let me know!

EDIT: Found it! The mirror link here is still up: http://www.izzygames.com/out-of-order-t402.html

 

[BlueButterfly]

can anyone help me???? im looking for the name of a game that i think i played on an old pc gamer demo in the mid to late 90's its basically like a 2d tunneling type game where there are 2 teams of mole like creatures and you start as the green one and you have to plant eggs or somehow create an army of moles for when you burrow into the enemys tunnels so you can defeat them, i also vaguely remember a thing in the middle of the map where something good happens if you control/capture it. many thanks for any help! i think there is something to do with collecting carrots in it aswell.

I'm looking for this game too, can somebody help? Please?

Still looking for that one, I would be very grateful if anyone could help me .

 

[Bennykaal]

Hello,

I've been looking for this game for quite some time.
It's a underground "build and discover game" from around 2000. It reminds me of the lemmings cuz it looked like that 2d, if I remind correctly. You had to dig and build buildings so u could make resources for bridges and ladders so they don't fall to death. And furthermore u just had to discover new things in the world like some kind of dungeon if I remember correctly.

I hope it's enough for you guys, would appreciate it.

[sirengenesis]

a shot in the dark, but something I am hopeful for, I'm looking for an old early 90's game. Point and Click adventure, first person so you simply viewed it had no movable character model, Circus/carnival based puzzle game, there was at least one puzzle where you had to make a plant grow, can't recall others at the moment. 2d still image background sort of thing.

 

[ScubaDuncle]

PLEASE HELP! I played this game for PC in the early 2000's in elementary school. It was a 2 dimensional game where you were a girl carrying an orb of some kind. The backdrop was ominous and you had to jump do avoid bloodied spikes in the ground. At one point there is a flying witch that you have to get past. Any ideas?

Trying to find the name of a game for a pal. Here's what he recalls:

########################
This game has been in the back of my mind for years. My grandma got me into PC gaming around 1994. So I would have played this game at her house sometime around 1994-2001 (The game may have released before those years though I don't know).

-I feel like it had to be a dos game or I may have played it on her Windows 3.1 computer. I feel like it was pre Win95 but I guess it could have been after.

-The game was of the "on rail shooter" genre.

-It was in a futuristic setting.

-I think you were a subway/railway conductor

-It was like a first person view from inside the train and you would just shoot at incoming enemies/projectiles. There may have been police drones flying around and other various "futuristic" enemies that would hover outside the train that you had to shoot.

-I think the levels had areas where you would shoot enemies out in the open and other parts where you are in train tunnels shooting enemies.

-I feel like at certain moments an enemy conductor/officer would pop up in the corner of the screen and taunt/yell at you.

I don't really remember the premise of the game. I feel like you might have been hauling illegal cargo or something and people were out to stop you. The words "metro" or "subway" come to my mind but I'm not positive they were in the title of the game or not.

Does this ring any bells for anyone? It's killing me because I feel like I know this game. Thanks.

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 1995-2000), actually I don't know about the release date of it. Just because of the graphic design doesn't look like the quality made in 21st century.

I've tried my best to remember most of the game details but I cant remember the name of it. Yeah its totally ridiculous that I remember lots of details besides the game name.

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 , I forgot what that thing is.
Stage 3 - Below 1, boss: ice drake
Stage 4 - Below 2, boss: 2 ghost (looks like female) share 1 BOSS health bar
Stage 5 - Below 3, boss: skeleton mage(necromancer)
**And this boss I think it 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)
**Actually it looks like a skeleton reaper, but it is flying and only have upper body
Stage 7 - Floor 3, boss: fire drake
Stage 8 - Below 4 , I reach to the middle only.

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.

Additional detail: " I think as the game loaded up I remember some sort of fmv or old cgi video that showed like electricity/sparks with a train maybe speeding down the tracks.

Maybe there was an enemy early on that they would show, and I feel like he was kind a loud mouth, overweight, grimey looking guy. Who you inevitably blew up.

That's about all I got haha."

Hi ! It have been some time since I tried to find a game I played around early 00's, and looked older.

SURE POINTS :

-PC, W98-2000-XP
-Isometric sort of 3D 2D (kinda Baldur's Gate graphic look), 3rd person view.
-You're a small robot
-It's an adventure game, and you progress through differents screens.
-There are at least 3 "worlds", first is sort of ruin, second like a dark palace and third have some grass. Each world have a lot of screens (1st world may have like a circular form, made of differents screen).

LESS SURE POINTS :
-You can change parts of your robot
-The 3 differents worlds are 3 differents levels of the planet and you go deeper.


I also remember some screens, like one in the second part where you are in a room, there is a few guards and some door behind (dunno if it will help).
Btw, even sure points might be wrong, feel free to tell names as it have been a while I want to find it. Thanks a lot

Ok, I've got one I can't figure out.

This was a Windows 95 PC game I remember playing as a kid on my dad's IBM laptop. It was a very comical game that was comprised of several smaller mini games. Each game featured the same 2 middle-aged guys in suits. In one mini game, you would take turns beating each other up in creative ways (i.e., cannon to the face, popping eyes out, stick in the mouth, etc.). It wasn't gory or bloody or anything like that, just animated like a cartoon. Another game was basically a skeet shooting game where one of the 2 guys would shoot a cannon at images of the other guy's head that fly through the air at increasing speeds. Another minigame was a baseball game where one of the guys was the batter. There were a couple other mini games but can't remember them all. Any ideas???

 

[bensfxc]

Im not sure this game still exist or not... but I really hope it still does cos it's kindna a memento for my childhood.

So it's a 2D web game, you could chose your weapon between Axe, Sword or Dagger, all you do is to fight your way up a tower, which you will encounter different monsters, and a boss on every 5 (as I remember) floors.
If you die, your character truly dies and you have to start from floor 1.
I believe name of this game starts with "T" , if I remember correctly.

That is probably Loadstar: The Legend of Tully Bodine. If not then Sewer Shark, but the former is more likely.

I've been trying to find the name of a game for so long..
Heres what I can remember:

-It's a very old PC game ,I had it on a CD for win98 so somewhere between 95~2000 probably?..)
-It's definitely a sci-fi top down RPG.
- I remember you can carry guns and it controls like a Diablo clone (You move with the mouse), It also has a Diablo style inventory system (grid like) that you put guns and battery like thingies (might be ammunition but I honestly can't remember.
-I remember the setting being kinda scary and futuristic, can't remember much about it though..
-The first enemies you encountered might have been rabid dogs?, or at least alien-like creatures that resembled dogs that attack you straight on.
-Can't remember much about the player but he was a guy, might've been a cop.

What it's NOT:
System shock / Planescape Torment / Shadowgrounds / Restricted Area


That's all I got, I hope someone played it!!
