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.

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.

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:

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.

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

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.

I've been trying to search for this one game in particular for years, and it's driven me half bonkers doing so. It was a gem collection/quest-type 2D platform computer game. It was very likely a Mac game, and may have been Shareware too. The title completely escapes me - it may have had "quest" in it? I remember the main character was some kind of elf dude, and he had to jump up and down collecting various kinds of gems and magical items to go from place to place through a castle, and fight evil magic along the way. There was a wizard, and I think he was helping the main character, but I'm not sure. There may have been a witch involved too, but if so, I don't even remember what her role or nature was. I think there may have been another female elf character somewhere in there, but I don't know what her role was either (or if I'm imagining things).

The game-play was largely simple (but sometimes challenging), just moving left to right, up and down, through the castle collecting gems on little perches, while avoiding and overcoming obstacles and using collected items to battle magic foes of some kind. (I don't even remember what it was the hero was battling!).

It was a game meant for kids, but somewhat older kids (7-13 or so; I was about 9 years old when I played it). I remember the graphics were - for the time - quite rich, smooth and vibrant, but also streamlined and simple. The animations were very smooth and vivid too. I remember the castle was very dark, and the game was not realistic, but the danger in each level felt unnervingly real at times.

It was not an educational game, nor was it anything to do with Merlin and Arthur, or Zelda, or anything that involved. It was also NOT Scooter's Magic Castle, nor King's Quest, nor Magic Mansion.

I only played this game for a very brief period (maybe 2-3 weeks total) around 1995, on my great aunt's computer (which was possibly some type of flatbed Macintosh Quadra). Then when the computer went elsewhere, so did the game, and I eventually forgot about it. Unfortunately, my great aunt or anyone who might have known that computer or that game is long gone.

I'm sorry I don't have more to go on than that. I hold out some hope that looking for this game isn't a complete lost cause. Any help or insight is appreciated, including questions.

**EDIT**: It seems I already posted on this forum (post# 11323) asking about this game, 5 years ago! The only thing that's changed is that I'm more convinced the computer was a Mac, and not a PC running Windows NT or DOS.

Looking for two games [PC - 90s]:

A) Top down view of light blue / cyan colored water(sea) with light colored sandy islands (or beach), there seemed to have been a light grid system on the main screen and you had some sort of tools to play with

B) Graphic adventure but with heavily blocky and pixelated dark colored trees to signify that you were in a forest and there may have been gnomes involved at some point. A fair bit of text/cli was present (not hero's quest or quest for glory, graphics were blockier)

Thank you
