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

[orangeking]

I made an account exclusively for this, because this has been eating at my mind for years.

I recall a kind of older game, first person platformer based upon something to do with an old house on a cliffside, in which the protagonist is there exploring trying to find this man (grandfather?) who's seemingly trapped in some kind of alternate dimension, could be recalling wrong, though. It involved using this ray gun of sorts that was able to pick up blocks and items and freeze them in place (i recall growing or shrinking them too but it could be falty memory) to use as platforms. There was seemingly some kind of lab or generator in the house (assuming the man was a scientist) that was going falty, causing time in the house itself to periodically speed up, slow down or freeze (oddly not freezing the player, only pieces of the house itself) The building would shake a lot and there was this narrator that was speaking over some kind of broadcast system to the player, if I recall, they turned out to actually be the man at the end. The end of the game involved running towards this bright light where the silhouette of the man was visible, upon reaching him the screen would turn to the outside of the house, showing the entire building collapsing and falling off the cliff. I don't recall much of the game other than these tiny bits and pieces, but I swear I recall this game existing and it's driving me nuts!

Help finding this game of the past would be greatly appreciated!

[EDIT]: Also recall there being different hues of the screen with little particle effects to indicate whenever stuff in the house was frozen in place and there also being an energy limit on the ray gun, only letting the player hold a few things in the air at a time.

Sounds like Quantum Conundrum [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vEBTdZ4b_H0] (I've never played it, but I remember Yahtzee's review!).

I made an account in here for someone to help.

There is this one game have been stuck in my mind, the references are like these ;
The game that i rememberd was in 2000-2014
(It has been stuck on my mind and i cannot find it.)

The game is similar to Eufloria and Captain Tom Galactic Traveler. The game has unique name that's very hard to find.

At first a fluffly ball creature popped up with a big planet, it tells me to move the creature with my fingers and it can grows flowers,plants,trees if the creature moved.
There will be a shining bubbles that popped out from the flowers,plants, and the trees.
And a new character, which is the blue version, will be there to follow and help the green one(main).

The game has the same graphic such as Captain Tom Galactic Traveler.

If someone answered with 'Green The Planet', no, it's not the game that i wanted. Green The Planet is similar to the game i talked about and the story didn't matched so it has been Exposed that 'Green The Planet' is not the old game that i wanted.

My old phone is broken and i forgot the Email,Password,and Username so it's gonna be hard to find the game and to find the data.
This game is available in Android. Please help!

I remembered when i search that game at 9,
There is only 2 apps that popped out and it's the Demo game and the Full game.

It's so hard to find, i'm kinda sure it got deleted but please tell me the name and how to get the app back!

.. Uhh.. I don't know.

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!

When you mentioned a female character and assignments you reminded me of No One Lives Forever but that's a 2000 game so it was released too late.
There is also that faction called Fraternity of Order in Planetscape Torment.. Red Faction has cultists...
While I was searching for this, I also stumbled upon a game called Heart of Darkness, apparently it has a plasma cannon and something called the Master of Darkness, it also fits in the time period you specified but nah no way it's this one. Crusader (1995) also has a plasma cannon. All this talk of factions reminds me of games like The Elder Scrolls. I'm sorry, this is all I could think of.

I feel like the game I'm thinking of was kind of playing on the popularity of the GTA games at the time (the first 2, not GTA3), but had a much darker feel to it. Thanks for looking around though.

Project Paradise?

No, this isn't it. I'm pretty sure I'm never going to find this game at this point. Lol.

Hey guys! So I'm looking for a first-person point-and-click adventure game in a dark fantasy setting. The menu for the game had a very metallic theme with a beige/grey colour. The first thing you need to do in the game was to escape a prison using a pile of bones. After that my memory is kinda blurry but after escaping the prison you had to go to some kind of party and then mixing chemicals to make a violent potion for some reason. The game was in 3D with graphics which must be after 2000 but before 2004. One thing that I'm sure of is that there was a hot chick wearing some kind of armor. I never finished this game and I lost the CD.

Hi guys, I'm trying to find two games and I have not enough information about them.

First one is, we have an army which is Roman legion etc. and we have a builder. He can build bridge and moving tower and archers can get into the tower. In a scene, enemies are burning the bridge while trying to escape and we repair the bridge and then the game gives us an extra army coming from behind the enemy. The game has 2D graphics and I played in about 2002.

The second one is, like an age of empires there is a different gold mining system for each country for instance, gold gathered by the workers was using directly for Egypt but for other countries, the collected gold must be moved to the main building by workers. I do not remember exactly but the game has ship for generally transporting and archers were able to fire while they were on the board.

Thanks in advance!

So I played this game probably around 10 years ago originally, as well as only 5 or so years ago when I actually remembered the name, however I never finished the playthrough the second time around and now I really want to. But of course I can't remember the name of it for the life of me.
It's a 2D game where you play as a male character. The story starts in his bedroom where he goes to sleep and then wakes up to find that outside his bedroom window things are a bit different. At first, you have to get out of his bedroom. There's a stereo that you end up having to mess with as well as his light, doorknob (I think?), his bed, and other things. Once you're out of his bedroom, the world is a lot bigger. His bedroom isn't in his house anymore, but in a bit of sci-fi esque type building where he goes around and meet several different types if creatures that he has to either do things for or get things from in order to progress. I do not remember how you end up out of this particular building, but I remember the next area.
It's outside this time, and in one part there is a small green alien dude that You have to help out. Near there is a little tech shop that is literally just a little brightly lit room with a desk and some other dude that 'works' there. Down a back alley there is a super creepy doctors office with a super creepy alien doctor.
Mind you, it's creepy, but it's all still very colorful and 2D and not 'scary'. Just creepy.
I remember other tiny bits and pieces of the game such as an elevator outside that takes you to and from two different areas and a cave later on in the game that You have to do some stuff in for somebody.
Only other thing I remember is that the desktop icon for the game was the three letters or initials of the game -something like SSS or SOS (Or JJJ i don't know guys). Super fun Sci-fi, bizarre alien game that I'd lvoe to find again.
Thanks for the help guys.
-Yoshi

EDIT: It was a 2D game with perspective that made it less flat than a lot of 2D games. It didn't look straight onto area, but rather from 45 degree angles that gave it a little depth.

UPDATE!
My father, after hours of saying he had no idea what game I was talking about, came and said he remembered what it was XD
It's Out of Order (or OOO like I was remembering the desktop icon) and its a pretty cool game that has a really bizarre story.

Hi guys! I'm looking for a game with penguins which push ice cubes in turning hammers to make a road to take bags with coins. When the ice cubes start to melt, the penguins freeze them again. This game has 40 rounds.

[FF7andMorrowind]

I am so glad I found this place. I registered just to ask for your guys' help but there seems to be a lot of cool stuff on this site so I may stick around.

Anyways, I'm looking for an old computer game. I'm guessing 90's or early 2000's at the newest. I was pretty young at the time so my info and memory is limited. I remember running around and punching giant beetles to death. I think when they died their backs kinda ripped open to show they were dead? Another notable enemy was humans that had an ant head instead of a regular human head. I remember one very specifically. This human had one of these ant head humans tied to a pole and if you freed the ant head guy he tried to kill you. There was also a super friendly group that was always hiding under ground. I think I remember them all getting killed eventually. I think I also remember humans with bee heads maybe? I remember running from those guys. Another thing I definitely remember was being in a town and there is a guy with his face covered in bees and if you weren't careful your character got hurt.

If anyone has the magic to figure out what game this is based upon my poorly provided information I would be eternally greatful.

Thanks much

Looking for an old playstation 1 maybe 2 game where you use cards to summon monster, in the game you eventually get a super monster in the card or come into possession of the creature. The main character is a girl/woman. NOT YU-GI-OH, trust me I know the difference. Thank you.

 

[Jonathan Deville]

Oh I found it, it was lost kingdoms for gamecube.

 

[sorrelmier]

ahh im so desperate to find the name of this one game i made a whole account on this lol.

ok so when i was younger, maybe around 8-10 i have very vague/bleak memories of playing this one game.
it kinda looked like an mmorpg. i dont remember much about it except you had a 3rd person view, i remember
an area with a large tree, and for some reason my most prominent memory was of my character in this large body
of water and there was these platforms you'd go on and they'd make you bounce?

also i played it on pc.

gah this is all i remember and it's driving me nuts!! D:

 

[Death_Spawner]

My friend mentioned a game where you can go around visiting different animals and you played with a white controller that had an aqua blue button or joystick. They said you could play with pandas that would get dirty and I guess you?d clean them. They didn?t know much about the game so I?m sorry this isn?t a lot to go off of. They played the game around 2004, they remember the game having ?go? in the title, but they?re not 100% about that.

 

[orangeking]

Sounds like Quantum Conundrum [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vEBTdZ4b_H0] (I've never played it, but I remember Yahtzee's review!).

THAT'S IT!!!!!! Thank you so much!!! I loved this game to death, can't go wrong with john de lancie as a narrator either ^_^

 

[Michael Mantanona]

Hey guys I was hanging out with my friend until BAM! I just remembered a game from my childhood. Its a free to play pc game with a launcher, its about robots and only robots, you can choose three or two types and I remember one has hover movement and blade arms and another has legs and a big fist for punching. There was also an in game market for players to sell stuff at there own price. I also think the robots get bigger and stronger the more you level up. Please help this is killing me!

 

[Justin Ling590s]

So there is this game i used to play on pc and all i can remember is that it had a background with lots and lots of color changing squares that pulsed. It was a 2d platformer. And it was like a strategy moving to get through the level like a parkour but not exactly

 

[lasde898]

This game is like Breakout.It was created before 2009.And it has good particle effect. Some stage of it have special bricks that if you break the brick , it will increase the amount of the ball , drop some items that can extend or micrify the board you control .There are other special brick like you have to hit it twice or the brick you have to hit its top and you can't hit its bottom because it has armor.
The bricks of it is not rectangular and the angle of it is a little curved.
The game probably has a physical engine so the ball will increase its quickness bit-by-bit.
One of the item that the brick drops can extend the board to whole-screen size so that it won't let the ball drop off even the board isn't moving.
It isn't DX-Ball.
