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

[fegit1]

Hello everyone,

I remember playing an isometric real-time stealth shooter game on PC (around 2004 or 2006), similar to these games:

- Robin Hood: The Legend of Sherwood
- Desperados 1 / 2
- Commandos 1 / 2 / 3
- Chicago 1930

It's none of the above games obviously.

The game had a few key features:

- Primary way of combat was through guns.

- A diablo-like inventory management system (which housed your guns, as well as ammo boxes). I remember having to efficiently reorder guns and ammo to make space for more guns and ammo. I also remember hoarding guns, because you were able to sell them to a vendor in the hub area.

- Stealth. I think you were able to see the enemies field of view like in Commandos. You also were able to sneak up on enemies from behind and knock them out. You were also able to tie up knocked out enemies, although I remember there was a limit on how often you could do this.

- Mission based gameplay, although with visits to a hub area in between missions to stock up on weapons / ammo.

- I think it had a currency and you were able to visit a vendor in the hub area to sell weapons / ammo found on missions and buy new guns / ammo

- Control multiple characters (unsure on this one, hazy memory of being able to switch between guys in my party - I remember playing one guy only most of the time though)

The game had a crime like / mafia like vibe. I don't remember if I was playing the good or the bad guys though. Pretty old game that I randomly picked off the shelves in a MediaMarkt (around 2004 or 2006) in Germany. I don't remember if the game was actually translated into german or if it was just in english. I didn't read much of the story, I just skipped the dialogs.

I remember that the game had a strange name. I'm unsure about this but I think the name was just a number. Something like that.

I think I remember the first mission. You start on a dock pier at night time, next to large ship that you needed to infiltrate. There were guards patrolling around and I remember the game pausing a few times to explain the mechanics (like stealth knockout from behind and stuff). I remember restarting that mission a lot because I wanted to get in undetected, while also knocking out everyone and getting as much loot as possible. I think there I had multiple members in my party and I was able to switch between those members, unsure about this though.

Pretty hazy memory about this game, can't find it anywhere. Googling "old isometric stealth game with diablo like inventory management" yields no good results. Hope any of you guys remember it, would really appreciate it.

Hello I remember playing a game but i can't remember it's name

So...

The game was multiplayer team-based shooter, there was two teams, red and blue, every team has it's own base on the one side of map, the players were robots, or mechs or something like that, players had some kind of "boosters" on their backs, an these boosters could boost your speed or jump so you could "fly" for some short time. I played that game around 2009-2011 i think. It was free, but i don't know if it was browser game, or installed on computer (maybe the mix of both). There were game modes like capture the flag, taem deathmatch and others.

I found similar game (EXTEEL) but it wasn't it...

Can you please help me ? I would really appreciate it...

Hi people i have been looking for this game for a long time. Someone asked in this thread before about it and there was no answer. Maybe now someone knows about it. This is the game description:
Thanks:

Old PC Spaceship game name?

This game looks a lot like "Spacezero" in a sense that it had a black background with "stars", green outline of planets and a 2D feel. You start off with your ship on your planet, which was indicated by a square in the center of the planet with the same colour as your ship. The planet was surrounded by one or two Defense Towers, which also had the same colour as your ship somewhere on it.

The objective of the game was to conquer surrounding unmarked planets (without a coloured square of anykind) by landing on them for a short period of time, then your colour of square would appear in the center of the planet, which then would cause a Defense Tower to leave your home planet and travel to the new planet for protection against others who could try to conquer it.
You could, however, destroy and conquer other already "conquered" planets by destroying all the Defense Towers and landing on said planet, causing the square in the center to change to a new colour, corresponding to the new spaceship that landed on it.
Same thing goes for wandering Defense Towers, if you aimed right at the tip, I believe, you could conquer said Tower...or blow it up completely.

To win the game you had to destroy all other players, which meant for you to destroy all planets and Defense Towers of that colour so there would be no chance for them to re-spawn.

I believe there could be about 4 players in total, possibly manual or computer operated.

Im pretty sure to is not "escape velocity" or "naev", because the game was made just with lines like "asteroids" but they resemble to this game, just is older than them

Any suggestions and/or links would be very appreciated, I've been wondering this for a while now. Thanks in advance!

I have a very vague idea of the game I am looking for. I can not remember if I saw someone play it or played it myself. The game has multiple ending, most horrible deaths I believe. The game revolves around a (female?) character. I believe you got off a train at the wrong stop, and you ended up at someone else's place(a mansion?). It is filled with (yellow?) creatures and are all named similar if not the same thing(also might be the name of the game). I believe you somehow crossed over to another dimension, and the good ending has some to do with another family member(brother?)(reunight, kill, or something to that effect...It is a weird game). I hope that is enough information to go on.

That sounds like Phantasmagoria

Two games

1. This game was downloaded on my computer, and I think it's from msn games, but don't hold me to that. I don't remember the objective of the game, but I do remember it involved tiles hovering in the air and I think you had to hop on each one. There were enemies on the tiles too and it was level based.

2. This one your a turtle underwater and you had to get to the next level by reaching the end. Pretty straight forward.

If you guys could help me, that would be awesome. Thank you so much in advance!

 

[RAZZLE]

I'm trying to remember the name of a PC game that I played the demo of in the late 90s. Probably 1998-1999, but possibly before. I'm pretty sure the player character is female and from what I remember, all of the action takes place in a shopping mall setting with a not-quite isometric viewpoint. (It's a fixed camera with human tank controls.) The game is faction-based and you go around taking various assignments that generally involve killing people (innocent or otherwise) and one of the factions calls itself "The Order". They're hooded cultists and end their dialogue with the phrase: "Spread the darkness of The Order!" One of the other unique aspects of the game that I remember is you can get a plasma cannon as a weapon and when you fire it, the bursts of energy set off a small AoE explosion that sets fire to anyone caught in it. That's about all I have for details.

Thanks in advance!

Ahh thank you, that's the second one. Now all I need is the first.

For years my older brother and I have been arguing about these 2 games. We literally haven't been able to come close to finding them for over a decade. Keep in mind that I was probably 5 or 6 at the oldest time I played them, so my memory is extremely limited and my descriptions will most likely be EXTREMELY vague. But if you have a slight idea let me know!

1st game- a PC game I played in the early to mid 2000s, but I am not sure when it came out. Could have very well been the '90s. I don't believe it was a free online game, I'm pretty sure we had a disc for it. Game made for kids set in a creepy haunted mansion. The only thing my brother and I can remember about it was that there was some weird level with Knights, and another level where you had to a fix a grandfather clock. We also recall a level from the basement of the mansion where you had to fix leaky pipes. My brother is convinced that the game was 1. An educational, math game for kids and 2. a Disney game. I'm not convinced it was a Disney game, as I feel like it would have been easier for us to find.

2nd game- even more vague as the first one. I literally have almost no recollection of it except 1. It was a FREE online game meant for kids. KIND OF like the idea of Club Penguin, Toon Town, Poptropica etc. but I don't believe it was that interactive in the sense that I don't believe you could make an avatar, talk to other players, etc. It also seemed like it was for kids a little older than the target age of those games listed. My brother has been convinced for years that it was on a popular website, like Nickelodeon or Cartoon Network, etc, but again I am not convinced as I feel like if it was on sites that popular it would be easier to find. All I know is I recall the platform having mini games, one possibly involving pizza?!?! Again I apologize for this extremely vague description.

Cant Find a game, which I played long long ago.

It's an online (browser possibly) turn based strategy, where 3 players started a map as 3 factions and turns took the resolve once a day. You captures the villages thus expanding your realm. In battle you just positioned troops in slots and they automaticly moved forward to capture the enemy army camp. You coud make unique positioning for every army and didnt take part in the battle.
The match could last for weeks

War World: Tactical Combat? You could also boost in Orion Prelude.. There's also Tribes Vengeance or another game from that series.
It also sounds a little bit like Team Fortress 2, specifically MvM (Mann vs. Machine) mode. Except you don't play as robots, you shoot robots. I'm probably wrong but worth a try, it can't be that easy can it?
Robocraft is too new..

 

[SniperTB]

Hey, I'm still searching for the name of a game form the 90s (?).

In this game you control a catapult/cannon mounted on a castles wall and have to hit targets.
After a few rounds, there where bonus games, like you have to shoot babies at baby bottles or dart arrows at balloons.
The ammunition of the catapult/cannon differed between rocks/balls to rockets and - like above - babies and dart arrows.
I don't remember the exact year and if it was a DOS or Windows game.
Would be great, if someone knows it.

Anyone?

I remember a strategic game (I was playing on win98) in which a team of paint drops (or maybe plasticine) was managed with the aim of defeating other drops of paint and obtaining its powers.
I remember a few powers like the straw and the boxing gloves but there were many others.

 

[ShiroNiko]

I remember a game from over 15 years ago for the pc that involved a live action male character trapped in an animated world, i believe it was an adventure game and the music was quite pleasant

 

[Ibuuyk]

It's this old business tycoon from the 90s where you started in the early 1900s (maybe the 20s?) and had to fill a town's street with shops (restaurant, jewelry, shopping mall, etc), except in other streets some shops would perform better than others (jewelry sold more in rich neighborhoods, per example). Over time you'd advance in years (60s, 70s, 80s up to I think "futuristic" 2000s) and as you did, you'd unlock new kinds of shops, upgrades for 'em, some shops would lose popularity and you could even spread your empire to other streets of town. It had a pretty good depth for such an old game, and I'd like to play it again sometimes.

I used to play this game with Warcraft / Starcraft gameplay but was a Ninja. I think the main character was named Kenshin, Kenji. Does anybody remember the name? I think it was released around 1998 or later. Thank you!

If by "gameplay" you're referring to the isometric perspective, the game Ninja: Shadow of Darkness which came out in 1998 might be what you're looking for. I can't think of any ninja-themed RTS games.

That is likely Toonstruck.
