I am looking for a retro platformer game, it was a flash type game from presumably early 2000's, where there was a timer, and you had to move from room to room as fast as you can, it had ragtime music, with 8 bitish style graphics any help finding it would be appreciated, thanks!
Old Games you remember playing but can't remember the name of.

So I've been looking for a game for the PC. I remember it being free to play with an option to buy it. It was a side scrolling 2d shooter pvp. 8bit quality. I remember it having a map making mode. Other things I remember are there were spikes in the map normally around the outside of it that would kill you, grass you could hide in and jetpacks/rocket boots to get around the maps in.
Hey guys am trying like mad to remember this game i played in elementary school (quite a few years ago) was a dos 3d maze game dont remember computer type but it didnt have any combat instead i remember as weird as it sounds finding a cheese in the maze as well as other various items if i recall correctly you needed the items to progress further... sadly thats all i remember
Foreword: Just in case you, dear reader, know any of those games below, I'd be most grateful if you'd send me a private message, instead (or in addition to) replying in this thread. The reason is: I simply don't visit this thread very often and your reply could get buried somewhere within 40 new pages I won't have time to go through. Thank you.
Now to the meat: I'm looking for 2 games I've played at my friend's PC long, long time ago (almost 20 years ago).
GAME Nr. ONE:
- The game was definitely released in late 90' or very early 2000'.
- It was isometric, somewhat "point'n'click adventure" game mixed with RPG.
- Player could choose 1 of 4 characters to play with. There was a man, a woman, some kind of a beast-man (all I can remember about him is that when selected, he'd say "Igor... MAD!" or something) and either a short dude in duck-like helmet or actually a duck-man (it was too long ago for me to actually remember).
- 1st stage was in prison. The player escaped their cell by getting a key from a bread loaf. Later they had to talk to some guy that helped remove a slave collar they have been wearing.
- 2nd stage was in some docks. I vaguely remember the player had to buy a beer at a tavern for some drunk guy in exchange for something (I don't recall what it was... either a key or a potion).
- 3rd stage was on a ship full of zombies. I remember a moment in which the player had to use an invisibility potion in the right time to pass through a zombie-crowded area of the ship.
------------------------------------------------
GAME Nr. TWO:
First of all: Due to the game being about toys, let me say what I'm NOT looking for:
1) Toy Story based games.
2) Army-men (the lil' plastic soldiers) games.
Now to what I do remember about the game:
- 3rd person perspective. Perhaps there was an option to switch to 1st person, but unsure.
- The game was about toys, most/all of which were animal-like in shape, although many were bipedal.
- The toys have used guns to shoot each other.
- The game was happening in a living room (huge from the player's perspective, as you were playing as a tiny toy).
- The games mechanics revolved around switching characters by picking up special tokens with the character icon/portrait. Each character had an unique ability, for example a Cat could climb furniture and a Dragon could glide by pressing jump button repeatedly.
- As far as my friend told me, this game came pre-installed when he got his computer (Windows, probably 98 or 2000).
Thank you all in advance, and just as a reminder: I'd be grateful for sending me a PM if you know any of those games. Otherwise I might miss your answer.

I've been searching for this game for ages and I haven't gotten close, so it's possible I have some details wrong. But maybe something will ring a bell for somebody.
I played this game when I was really young, so it would have to be a pre-1992 game. We only had Amstrad CPC (I don't think it was this one), Commodore 64 and Amiga computers back then so it must be on one of those but I don't remember. My impression of the graphics is they were mostly white on black 2D. It had mysterious creepy atmosphere.
-First person point of view with no avatar
-Static screens you could move between- I think some had objects you could affect by clicking on them
-Point and click menu at the top with symbols
-Sometimes if you went into a certain room it would trigger a video of something happening in a small window that would popup
-One of your menu icons was a camera. You could take photos in the scenes and they would appear as little windows on your screen that you could drag around and close if you didn't want them.
-There were a lot of rooms like long hallways with suits of armor standing along the walls and the rooms all looked the same so it was hard to find new rooms
-I remember one room you could find had a ghost that would kill you straightaway
-I think another room had a woman in her underwear and you advanced the game by taking photos of her. Possibly she was having a sordid affair and the photos were proof? Blackmail?
That's all I can think of. I don't remember the game having enemies to fight in general and I don't think it had a text parser or ever used text on screen. I was a kid but I found it very cryptic and hard to figure out what to do. I really hope someone will know this because it's never going to let me go.

Been trying to find a game I remember playing in my childhood for a while now.
Can't recall much, but I know it's mainly a space game. Pretty sure you can choose different classes of ships (Yellow ships) and maybe customize them slightly with different weapons or something. You travel around the galaxy (Maybe systems? Dunno, but you did travel between stars), and I know you can use wormholes (Via blackholes?). Not sure what the objective was, but I know you could find different events and the like. One that stands out clearly though is finding the Voyager Golden Record.
Other than that, can't remember anything else about the game itself. Pretty sure I played it on an old mac computer, the one with the dome bottom and rotatable screen. If anyone can tell me the name, I'll be grateful. Been bugging me for far too long.

Sounds like either <link=http://www.mobygames.com/game/windows/strange-adventures-in-infinite-space>Strange Adventures in Infinite Space or its sequel <link=http://www.mobygames.com/game/windows/weird-worlds-return-to-infinite-space>Weird Worlds: Return to Infinite Space?Skrewlose101 said:
This . . . may be it actually. Doesn't look exactly like how I remember, but that's probably due to how long ago it was. Think the one I played was "Weird Worlds: Return to Infinite Space" Thanks for the help :-DVendor-Lazarus said:
EDIT: Yep, this is the game. Went through a couple of screenshots
Hi, not sure if it has been posted already, but Google found my keywords on multiple pages of this topic and none of them matched the game.
Either way I am looking for an old game. Probably not DOS, played it on Win 95, it was one of those games where you are in the space endlessly flying and shooting... but! You were a dragon.
Purple one even? I remember it started with your photo (of the dragon character) being a baby, having this "rattle toy" (do not really know how to translate it) in his hand and I think the photo faded into sepia shade after a while and... yeah there was some story into it.
Now, how did the game actually look? You were flying ... Through space? I think it was actually through space, but the initial levels might have been on earth? Or... I have no idea, but I think I was shooting up asteroids (or evading them) while shooting other enemies from which I remember only witches on brooms (from top down) and flying castles...?
Graphics weren't actually that low, the effects were pretty smooth I think.
And I still connect this game with song "Robert Miles - Fable" and now I am just not sure if I heard the song while playing, or if a version of it was the part of the soundtrack.
It was all really hazy, one of those very early childhood memories, where I cannot exactly remember what it was like and even my memories might not be entirely true by now.
Edit. I also remember it was a game on one of "Herni Vyber". There have been a lot of these CDs. I have tried searching for them, but I found no content index, no pirated images, nothing. I also lost those I had. Somewhere. Somehow.

Great, good to hear its the one!Skrewlose101 said:
I know the feeling of having a forgotten a games name. Mine was even more obscure if you can believe it!
As an aside, it also seems that there is a third game in the series. Released quite recently. Don't know if it is any good though.
"Infinite Space III: Sea of Stars", apparently. Judging from the pictures and reviews, seems to be a 3D, slightly enhanced version of the second game. Might check it out later, but I think I prefer the 2D graphics more.Vendor-Lazarus said:
Hello everyone!
I've been spending all of last night and this morning trying to find this game, any help would be so very appreciated. (
It's a hack and slash, top down, pixelated game where you run through places that seem like dungeons to get to the exit at the end of every level, and they're all full of enemies that burst into pixelated blood. I think the main character was male? It's hard to remember. I think there was magic and keys and stuff like that but I just can't remember. I owned it on CD or maybe even through a DOS emulator, but it ran very well and was not text supported, so maybe not dos. Sorry for being vague, it's been YEARS!
EDIT: I'm assuming it was roughly like 90's or 2000's. Because anything past that looks way too advanced.
Any help is appreciated!!!!
Best regards,
The Mist

This really sounds like Entomorph: Plague of the Darkfall [http://www.mobygames.com/game/world-of-aden-entomorph-plague-of-the-darkfall]FF7andMorrowind said:
I played this ages ago when I was a kid too, and what your saying sounds really like this game.
Have fun
Hello Everybody! I've been trying to put back my old N64 game collection I had as a kid (my house was robbed around age 8 or so and I lost all nintendo 64 games). The game I cannot remember is a vehicle/battle game I used to play with my siblings. You could pick up different weapons and there was an announcer lady that would announce things during the match. One of the things I remember most about it was a power-up/weapon called "Railgun" it was basically an auto turret for your vehicle, and the announcer lady would announce it when you picked it up. I know this is a long shot, but I am out of ideas. Thank you in advance for any help!
Hi there, here goes ive been searching for this game for a number of years and had no joy each time! The game was similar to dig dug but it was called dig out you had to collect apples and could make boulders drop on the baddies to kill them; the baddies used to come out of a trap door in the middle of the screen but on some levels you could make the boulder drop on top of the door and it would kill every baddy that tried to come out the door. It looked very similar to this game (i will post link at bottom of this thread) but seems to be no baddies and not called the same. I used to play this in Primary School in about 2000-2003 i bet the game was 10 year old then. I hope somebody can help me get to the bottom of this its blagging my head =] Many thanks!

Hello people, long time ago, when I was a small kid my cousin had on pc a 3D game where you played as a ball/sphere like humanoid (with arms, legs, eyes) in space on some kind of planets, if I remember correctly and the goal was to attack other balls with something like a sword and when you hit them you would grow up and the enemy would shrink. I struggle to find this game for very long time... If it helps, it was something like the game that will be released with name "Morphies law".. Thank you very much
