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

[Calirae]

There's a game from the late 90s or early 2000s that I've been trying to track down for years now.

It was on the PC. Mechanics-wise it was similar to a point&click adventure. You had control over a family of aliens and at various points the narrative would make you change your character (there was a boy with his dog, a girl, the dad, the mum, the grandmother and I think an older brother as well).
I'm not 100% sure of the overall premise, but I think the family were aliens that crash-landed on a planet?

The only other specifics I remember are:
-In the beginning you'd play the boy and his dog, exploring a forest made of gigantic flowers and grass (think: Honey, I Shrunk the Kids) searching for - what I think were - spaceship parts.
- Later on you would play as the mum who got invited on an inter-galactic quiz show and you had to win the quiz.
- After that there was a section of gameplay in their home; their grandmother went berserk and you had to find ways to calm her down without her finding you.
- At a later part you would take control of the little girl and explore a medieval-themed castle and its inhabitants.

I know it's not a whole lot to go on, but maybe somebody else has played it? Worth a shot!

I remember a game around 2006-2007 in which there is a fat man and there is a eating contest and we have to eat meat and stuff like that and there is also a Kart racing in which we have to drive a kart and we can also throw stones on other competitors.
Its a game of pc and I cant remember its name.
Please help me telling name.

Is the game Asterix and Obelix Mega Madness?

Similar to Myst, etc, in terms of puzzles, graphics, and atmosphere.
I played it on the PC. Not sure if 90s or 00s. I don't have much to go on so Googling it and asking around has been a nightmare.
A forest, at night. A bright moon in the sky. Many consecutive left, right, choices, etc. I had them memorised as a kid. Traversing through the maze would, I think, lead to a tower. I know you climb a tower at some point. As in, you scale the side of it. It's first person. You either play no character, or a man.

I'm still here, still searching! I just wish I could even find one other person looking for this game, that they could give me one more detail... I just keep seeing myself clicking through loads of scenes like this! https://imgur.com/a/Ii2vICj

OK, here is my game I so want to find. Way back in the late 80's I got a game for my Mac Plus. it was a space explorer, where you would go find planets, land and explore to find trade goods. Then go to cities to trade with the aliens. There was huge star map, with some hidden worlds in star clouds, black holes, and some alien races that were hostile. I remember playing it, but never finishing it. Thanks!

The game is called "Down in the Dumps" (1996).

Game from early 2000s, which was top-down, showing a lawn, in the middle a pile of fish you had to protect from cats coming off-screen by clicking on them. At some point there was a dog in a dog house which helped you to scare the cats when clicked. The cats tried to steal fish from the pile and bring them off-screen with them, but when you clicked a cat it ran away and dropped the fish. Also trees you could click to shake them to drop something, coins maybe. You had to keep one fish on screen until a timer runs out to win a level, in later level there were several piles of fish. It was a childrens game probably. Anyone remember this?

Pixel style Game from 2000s, in which you play as a mech that goes around a city, blowing stuff up, throwing cars, flying around climbing building causing havoc. Forgot name but you drop down from a aircraft at the start. Its a flash game as far as i remember.

It was a game where you go into these guys bodies and you shoot bubbles and viruses while avoiding things. When you enter you have to avoid mouthwash.

Hi

So there is this very old pc game I used to play probably 12-13 years ago. You had a character and had to shoot some kind of missiles in the air to blow up bubbles, each character had a different way of shooting I think. So basically the bubbles exploded and new smaller bubbles came out of them and you had to destroy them all without getting hit. There were different storylines, some of them with some dark knights or some shit. There was also a dragon at some point which when you killed him showed an (fake) error message in the game. That's about all I can remember haha.

I thought the name of the game was Pando or something but I searched it and nothing pops up so it must have been different.. but something similar to Pando I suppose. Thanks!

That's probably either Pang (which was called Buster Bros. in the US) or one it's variants.

I wonder if it's one of the Shivers https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shivers_%28video_game%29 series? or some other Sierra game like Lighthouse: The Dark Being https://www.myabandonware.com/game/lighthouse-the-dark-being-3m3 ?

Shivers is painfully close. I skipped through a whole playthrough even though I didn't recognise any of the scenes or the title just because IT'S SO DAMN CLOSE. Which makes me think it is a Sierra game from that time-period. It's not Lighthouse, but I'm going to have a peruse for them.

Also, my dad emailed this morning asking me if it's "the one where a shadow monster or something is pursuing you. It involved choosing left or right and I think there was a map where it showed the shadow monster getting closer; if it saw you you were doomed but sometimes you'd stumble across it when it was looking the other way and then you had to leg it quickly".
Now, I don't remember any of that aspect whatsoever... but now I just want to find that game, even if it isn't the one I'm looking for!

(Also, gonna end up playing Shivers after my exams).

Im looking for the name of a strange PS1 game, it was most likely a Japan only game, all I remember is that you could move through the stages very similarly to the Final Fight games (2.5D and in a Street like stage composition), dont remember how you fought but it had the quirk that you would use a Jar to finish your enemies (Pretty sure it had some link to exorcising them cause they were evil spirits), so eventually you would use the jar, the baddies or hurt baddies went inside and you got a close up on your dude with a black background and had to use L1 L2 R1 R2 to freaking SHAKE the jar as fast as possible like a bartenders mixer or something till you destroy the baddies (Pressing the same button in a row did nothing so you had to alternate).

Eventually you even got somw scrolls that made it so if you used a certain pattern while Mixing a Japanese Kanji would appear, and you even got an audience as a background further ahead.

The graphics were pretty ugly, your character was depicted as short figurine like body with a Sphere for a head and I want to say you had Orange hair, when you moved the animation was of many little hops, no leg animation or anything kind of like you were a figurine (I played it on Japanese when I was young so I don't have many details on the story or anything like that).

Im certain this exists but at this point some of the info here might be a little blurry, please if anyone knows anything let me know!

So there's this game I used to play when I was a kid. It was one of those build-your-own-carnival games that you could download from sites like GameHouse back in the day. I doubt the game still exists, but I want to know what it was so I can try to find it again. In the game, you had tasks to perform, you had to pay attention to your money flow which could be either in the red or green, a time limit to get certain things done, but the main feature I remember was that you have employees that you can adjust the pay of: mechanic, security, janitor, nurse, and one other, I think. If their pay is "too low" they will ask for a raise and if you refuse, they'll quit and you'll have to hire again. You can pay for advertisements for your carnival, and there were a bunch of other features that I can't remember. The graphics weren't the best, and were kinda pixelated. I really want to know what this game was called. If you know which game I'm talking about, please let me know. Thanks.

Okay so, there was this one game i wanted to remember. I had it on my phone like a couple years ago. Its like these small little characters and they go against other characters. They crawl along the playing field and you can like aim and try to shoot your enemy. But i cant remember the name.
