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

[laurel]

Okay, here's one...my memory is pretty hazy, and I never got past the first level but I've been dying to know for years:

It was a PC game, and I believe it came out between 1990-1995 (guessing!). It was first person and didn't have any weapons to start out, and you started out in a desert which seemed like ancient Egypt-ish. There was an Egyptian-looking courtyard I explored and I remember not really being able to collect items but I got info on stuff around the area. It was kind of like clues if I remember correctly. There were no NPCs in the area. I might be placing images in my memory but I think there might be something or someone talking to you. I kind of remember an Anubis image somewhere.

I remember always trying to figure out how to get on this one decent-sized boat by what seemed to be a nile at a dock, and I was never able to pass the first level. I don't even know if there was another level.

I'm sorry if this is so vague.

Hey thanks everyone for helping me find that Wonder Boy game. I just need help finding this other sega game.

Its a side scroller where you control a guy with either blue or purple hair and you have a long purple bar at the top of the screen that when charged allows you to cast stronger and stronger magics. I think there was a jungle level but I don't remember much else.

OK, the premise is you vs a computer opponent, and you each have an island and the goal is to destroy all his structures. To do this you build missile launchers and mechs, you send the missiles to destroy his structures and the mechs turn into planes and fly to his island then transform back into a mech to attack the structures. This is also how the opponent destroys your structures. You both defend by building interceptor missiles to obviously stop missiles, and anti-ground turrets to stop the mechs. Once the game has gone on long enough you get a second winning condition of building a special missile silo that is 3x3 grid that takes forever to build and extremely vulnerable to attack by missiles and mechs.

I guess that leads to the fact that the islands are segmented into a square grid where missiles and anti-missiles and mechs and anti-mech turrets each take up 1 grid space.

That's gotta be Metal Marines.

Hello everyone, I'm trying to remember two old games I played while I was in elementary school. The first one I played in school, can't remember when but I believe it was around 2001. I don't remember too much about other than that there were different color keys involved and that you ended up having to climb up a set of three ladders on a tower to reach the villain. I believe it also had a level or a sequel which had a Christmas theme and I remember something about finding presents to be able to proceed. The second game I played on the computer at a friends house and it had something to do with this girl that sent robots back in time to alter history so she was accurate about her answers on a test and you had to go back and fix everything. One thing I remember is that she changed (I believe) the Golden Gate Bridge to be made out of licorice. If anyone could help I would 'greatly' appreciate it, this has been bugging me for months.

I think you are talking about Jumpstart 3rd grade. It was an edutainment game, no?

Yo, there was this old pc game.. It had a collection of games on it. One game involved a whole bunch of red blocks on the left side and a whole bunch of blue blocks on the right side (or vice versa). And another game was a game where it was kinda in outer space and whatever level you was on, you had to drive your ship through whatever level without hitting walls thus destroying your ship. If someone can remember and tell me, i greatly appreciate it. I remember playing this back when i was about 8-9 years old on windows 98

I'm still looking for this game, please, any help is apprechiated! No one recognizes this game?

It is a game from one of those "Yellow Cassettes", possibly Sega Megadrive, but I am not sure about that.
It featured a kid as the playable character, his name was perhaps Vap, or Wappo or something like that. He wears an american football outfit with a helmet.
His original color was blue, and he shot a small ball (possibly a tennis ball) by kicking it towards the enemy. But when he was hit by an enemy, he turned green, and then shot 2 tennis balls. Then after another hit, he turned yellow and shot a soccerball (being able to hit enemies easier), then after the next hit he turned red and shot 2 soccerballs at the enemies. After these 4 hits you died.
When shooting the balls at enemies, it had a "scratchy" sound when, like lighting a match. (here I have to add that it is NOT Marko's Magic Football or Soccer Kid, but sure as hell similar).
It was a 2D platformer game, involved a lot of jumping and if I recall correctly, it had boss-fights after each level.
It consisted of several levels, the one I can remember is a jungle level with water below you, and waterfalls and greenery in the background. Also there was a level which was a rollercoaster.
I can only remember the story roughly: your girlfriend was abducted by a demon (it looked like the Grim Reaper), whom you had to fight at the very end of the game.

Several people were looking foir this game, but none have managed to find out its name. Please, If anyone has even the slightest idea, or just an additional info about the game, feel free to reply.

I remember playing this game, probably about 6 years ago (roughly) on the ps2.

What I remember the most is one of the multiplayer levels, it was where 1 character started off on fire, they would run around completely engulfed in flames and have to either pass it onto another character or just set other characters on fire (not quite sure) and you had to try and be the last one who wasn't on fire. I have a feeling that level might have been called virus?

There were other levels where you could have weapons.. but i can't remember if that was multiplayer or not.

The thing that stands out in my mind is the characters you could choose to be, they were quite unusual, think there was a weird snowman thing, someone with a head as a bowl of water with a fish head and a lot more but i don't know how to describe them.

I'd love to know what this game is called, cause I've been trying to work it out for years with no such luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hello. I have been looking for a game for many years now. I played it when I was around 10 years old, which is now 12 years ago. It was on an old PC and was with two other games, a math one, and another I do not remember. The one I am searching for was a puzzle-like game with many levels. It reminds me of Pac-Man now because you were traveling through "rooms" or levels and killing ghosts. In order to kill the ghosts you had to trap them with boxes. In each room there were various objects that you had to gather and full of boxes that could be moved by using your person to hit them. I can't remember much about the game, but I am really hoping someone will recognize what I am talking about. Thank you.

Possibly Tomb Trapper?

This is a PC or MSDOS game I used to play when I was little. You play a Squirrel or Fox type character which reminded me of Sonic the hedgehog, but I think he wore red. The game is mainly him running, jumping around collecting somethings in his world, very detailed world. I don't remember if there were any other characters, I don't think so. It didn't save at a checkpoint. It was basically just exploring the world but with some difficulty. Many different levels... And floors in the layout. It might have been called <character's name>'s World. I got the game in a CD with 100 or more computer games. Mid-90s to late 90s.
Would greatly appreciate any hints! Thank you!

 

[ColKira]

P.S. Forgot to say that is for PC Cheers


P.S.S. I found it. It is called Starscape if anyone looks for it too

The game I am looking for seems like it is a version off from Tomb Trapper. Instead there are ghosts and the picture seems to be a little better. Thank you very much. I should be able to find it from knowing this.

[Atomant]

I am trying to remember the game name, but i cant... So i cant find it. It is 2D game, and only thing i remember is that you go through US, you are some guy going through different places (like Grand Canyon, NY, and else...). When in some place you are jumping around and stuff, to get to right side of screen, and when you finish that place you ride a motor/car or smth to another site, and you pick up bonuses and stuff like that...

 

[qwaqa]

It is also on the ps1, you can earn money to buy diffrent veichles

 

[Red Oni]

I remember it was for N64, you play as this bee/wasp-like creature that flies around. It had looped music that was very repetitive.
