The game is an RTS ( I think) in an isometric view where you controlled goblins or something. I don't remember what the objective was but you were underground and you moved by mining down the walls and stuff. You could make a base but there would always be these archers around some sort of burning stone somewhere on the map that would just wreck you're shit if you found it.

Perhaps Dungeon Keeper? http://www.mobygames.com/game/dungeon-keeper

I'm also looking for a game I can't remember the name.

It's from the mid to late 90s for Windows PCs and had 3D graphics. You played a spaceship and your goal was to defend the earth from alien spaceships and asteroids. The earth was in the center of the screen and you were only able to rotate your ship around the earth with the left/right arrow key. The scales were very odd, your spaceship was about half the size of the earth.
Asteroids appeared on the screen and you had to shoot them with your laser weapons. There were also power ups which could upgrade your weapons. If the asteroids would hit the earth, huge chunks of the earth would fall apart and after a few asteroid hits the game would be over.
In later levels there were also alien spaceships which couldn't destroy the earth, but they could destroy your ship with their laser weapons. I remember, there were UFO-type spaceships (like this: http://blog.nz-online.de/peltner/files/2012/06/UFO-Meldestelle.jpg) and also types which looked like aircraft carrier IIRC. The more damage a alien spaceship took, the more it went into a spin and could hardly hit you anymore.
The level was over once you've destroyed all asteroids and all aliens. Enemies which you missed and passed earth, would re-appear after some time on the other side of the screen.

I've only played a shareware version of this game back in the late 90s and now I would like to find the full version.

Hey, i was wondering if you could help here :)

So this was an online "game"

I don't remember if this was a university's experiment, or something like that.

It was a webpage, almost fully black, no ads.

It had 4 colors: red green blue yellow (probably not in this order)

People from around the world could join in, but the "game" only said that XXXX connected from a specific city. There were no names, no comminication via chat, just the city and your color.

4 color 4 player, there was a timer, and you had to work together, and everyone had to solve their "puzzle"

You could see the others little box and what are they doing, and you could use your mouse to help them, like pointing out the solution or showing the correct thing.

I don't remember the name, and i tried googleing it for an hour now, and i bumped into this site :)

The purpose of the site was to encourage teamwork or well to have people depend on each other. It was really addictive, i don't remember when did i play it, it was 2-3 years ago perhaps, but its sure that it was AFTER 2004.

I'd be thrilled to play it again if the site is still online.

Hi,

I hope someone can help me out here. I do not remember the game name anymore and I don't even find it on the distributor's page. It an action/real time strategy kind of game I played back around 2000. I think the game was a little old already then, but it had very nice 3D graphics. The point was that you had some sort of city usually on the top of a mountain or rather a mound where you could control some things, but at the same time you had a hero you could control on the map and shoot enemies on their way to your city. The hero had this awesome ability to jump very high or dly depending on the race(?) I think. It was a kind of fantasy/sci-fi themed.

I don't know where it could have been possibly lost, but since I don't have it anymore, I have no means to remember it's name.

Many thanks in advance.

Update:

I see no one knew this one, but finally I managed to find it. So if anyone is interested in the game, the name is:

Giants: Citizen Kabuto

Damn I know exactly what game you mean, but I can't remember its name either! Played it 1-2 years ago. I think you also got a team score in the end and there was some kind of highscore list...
It was definitely one of those university game projects, I think from some Scandinavian country, but I'm not sure.

Hello there, I really hope someone can help me out in finding a pc game i used to play in 2001. I think it was included with the pc i bought, it had windows98 or 2000. The game was about robots, you could make tanks, robots, towers that would shoot lasers to anyone near it, and also you would have to get petroleum from the ground to make all of this, also the towers would get connected and form a shield around the area. Please someone help

Hey

This was an old PC game, been bugging me for awhile now.

Standard RTS game, except everything was in space/spaceships etc. All the building happened in rings around different planets which had various different ratings for the resources on each. There was kinda like a multiple map thing, where you could leave your galaxy? and go to other ones which all resided on a big map. Pretty much all I remember about it really. Just been bugging me, thanks for the help!
Its quite simple, my all time favourite. Its in my best 10 RTS i played.

Conquest - Frontier Wars

The game I remember was a demo I played on the ps1. I remember four separate portions of game-play. In the first part, you had to find lost money for somebody in a city to progress. You can talk to a man who offers to draw a picture of the female member of your party, but she says the picture looks nothing like her. In the second part, you are in your upstairs room about to embark on your journey and you can get items from searching your furniture. You also talk to a woman/girl on the way out. In the third part, you are in a train station. In the fourth part you are in a landscape with fields and mountains. You begin at the bottom right of the map and move up and left to establish camp. The save points were rainbow swirly circles on the ground, and when battle is initiated while you roam across the landscape, it is turn based.

I also remember a trailer for the game which played after the demo time expired. The camera scrolls across CGI/non game-play scenes of environments in the game like an airfield with planes. The final scene of the trailer involved a cylindrical room with a large floating green crystal.

Hope that's enough information.

Okay, So I'll write all the details I can think of.
I know the game was for a computer- PC or Mac I'm not sure. But it cant be further then window 98. I'm thinking maybe 95?
Anyway, It was a game about horses, and you got to design them (colors, and exc.) And I know you could choose between horse, Pegasus and unicorn (and also I think baby or adult) Then afterwards, you got to take care of them and play games with them.
Any ideas would be helpful.
Thanks!

There is this game that I've been trying to think of the name of for a while now, but I just can't seem to find it. The game isn't old or anything as I have only just played it within the last decade and I have absolutely no idea what console(s) it is associated with. First of all, I think it has a Japanese name (I'm not totally sure on this, though). Secondly, it is a four-player game, in which you fight the other players (I could be wrong with this though and you have to fight NPCs) whilst completing certain mini-games (my memory is too vague to give even a short description but I think one of the mini-games involves fighting on a boat of some sort). Help with this would be much appreciated as I have a terrible memory and it has been bugging me for ages!

Many things in the game be in a mechanical style.

I often had to use "Keys" like this
http://www.spieluhren-ambiente.de/spieluhren/Zubehoer%20%20%20Ersatzteile%20d1%20471.jpg
and i had often to wind up enemys or bosses

In this Game, I was a boy with red hair (i think he was calles "Flint") and the story beginns with the being on a zeppelin.

After something what happens there i fall from the zeppelin on an island and live there.

One other thing i knew was that I fighted with a minotaurus (boss enemy)(who can transform into a ball and follow/attack me with this form down something like a hill or so)
I hope someone can help me :)

Hi everyone, I have a big lapsus right now.

I remember playing a 3D adventure/RTS game with a wizard. Basically you had mana wells from which to regenerate mana, and you could place your monsters on them as well.
Then you would fight with other wizard over them.
Also, on the adventure side, you played some weird chess at one point, made valerian potions, and so on.

The name was MM something...
Please help!

This is just the sort of thing I am looking for because Google has failed me.

I never played the game so I am very sketchy on the details, but I remember the main selling point was that the pc game would incorporate the pictures on your computer's hard drive into the environment on the walls I think.

Total guess details: It might have been a first person shooter late '90s to early 2000?

Thank you so much for taking the time.
I think I remember this game, it was something to do with viruses... could even have just been called Virus, maybe? (I remember they had to print a disclaimer on the game packaging to reassure people that installing the game wouldn't *actually* put viruses on their PC).
Thank you very much. It is called "Virus: The Game" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virus:_The_Game
It looks terrible now, but I still kind of want to play it.
