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

Hey guys, I'm not sure if this has already been posted about but there was this game I used to play quite a while ago, it was either on ps1 or ps2 most likely ps1 and I've been searching on end for the name of it. The music to the game is Just what I needed by The Cars, if you ignore the singing and you just listen to the music of the song. The game play was you were a little yellow round dude and you were walking on a yellow block path and you had to push blocks out of your way to get through to the other places on the map and you would eat berries and stuff. It's kind of sounding like a different version of pacman, I'm pretty sure it's not? Sorry but my memory of the game is very vague and the thing that got me thinking about the game again is that song by The Cars.
You have no idea how much I would appreciate some help on finding this game, it has been bothering me for the past few months now.

I got one.
On PS1/Late 90's/you're in a spaceship thing. The game plays unusually in that the levels were a cylinder and your spaceship thing had to fly on it but you could go around the whole cylinder. The objective of this game was to get to the end without running into obstacles and possibly enemy ships. At the end of each level you had to vs a boss ship or something. It's pretty obscure as in i've been trying to find this game for at least 10 years.

Please help to identify this PC game:
Game type: Top down perpective (isometric)
Year: Probably mid 90's
Gameplay: Adventure game with possible RPG (not necessarily fantasy) elements.
What I remember:
I remember playing as a male character (possibly a boy). At some point you have to help a colony of giant ants. If I recall correctly you were later able to transform into an ant. You had to complete quests and I recall going into some kind of laboratory at one stage to help a scientist. Very close to the beginning of the game you had to attack a giant moster (might have been a see monster). I also imagine a girl being involved in the plot (not sure about this one). I think you may have looked for a way to save/rescue her.
Please help. I have super fond childhood memories of this one (except for actually remembering any details
)

)No way...it was older with not so good 3D graphics. It was 3rd person, but camera was pretty close. I think it was also fixed...Gangxxter said:
This is a PC game I played in the 90s.
Its a asteroid like game, so top down point of view.
It came in those 100 games in 1 CDs
You have a space ship that is upgradable and the map is like a big galaxy/universe that has a grid over it so you can choose which square/part you want to go to. There are some aliens in certain squares and alien bases. You kill asteroids to mine metals which you turn in for credits and then use the credits to upgrade your ship. Once you cleared a square you and go on to choose any of the many on the grid. Its literally a giant rectangle shaped map.
I've been trying to google this game, but to no avail.

I've been trying to find a game that I used to play. I'll briefly describe portions of the game - maybe someone knows?
Played on a PC, similar to Ultima (looking down on a character, moving up, down, left and right etc).
You start out on an island with nothing. Moving around you discover a hole, with a letter and lamp inside. Tells you about what to do or who to seek.
Visit many areas, I think that as you walk you fall into battle on another screen, then when the battle is over you continue on.
There is an area with three towns that look alike yet they do not get along with each other. Each town has the same clothing color (one blue town, one red and one green? I could be wrong on the colors). There is some machine in the middle of town that dispenses clothing - and you better get the same color as everyone else or you are a target. But if you mess with the knobs the clothing comes out tie-dyed or just messed up colors.
At one point you meet someone who says their son has been kidnapped. You will find him in another location (castle-type place?) and you have to make him agree to go with you. Can't escape the place he's in because of security, but you can find a hole in the shrubs.
Towards the end of the game you are in a town where all of the townspeople have some crazy disease or something. They have all been transformed into plants or tree people, and they can't talk. You find one that can communicate, and I think they tell you how to cure the rest.
Another location is like a mine, where you see workers move in to work and then exit to leave. They carry and leave around picks and other mining stuff. You can't talk to the miners, they just don't acknowledge you. But I think the mine itself is a connection between two towns.
Sorry I don't have much, I played this many years ago. And I've been searching for it for many years as well, so hopefully someone can help. Thanks for reading!

Okay I'm not going to be able to describe this very well since I only remember bits and pieces but...
It was a PC windows game that I played back when I was under 12 so about 2004 and under. The actual game was kind of like a problem solving thing where you control an orange humanoid thing. Can't remember the plot I think at one point I had to rescue some other humunoid orange things from a cage and then I could control them. (I might be making this up)
There is also a kind of freeplay where I think you take over other different coloured humanoids places (like green, red and purple/blue) there was a casino level/arena, a candy/cloud one, a space one and a kitchen. I think when you killed you enemy you could drink them which, if I remember correctly would then allow you to make more of your people. The enemies would also say things like "I'm gonna getcha" and stuff like that.
If anyone can think of anything vaguely like what i'm talking about that would be awesome.
Thanks

I have been trying to figure out what the name of this old computer game is that i used to play when i was little. It was for the computer and you were a spaceship and you had to move threw the levels i remember they were really brightly colored. there was no one to fight or anything like that you just moved threw each level. i hope you find it its been driving me crazy.
It was some sort of racing game, you could literally swap out engine parts and everything. I think it was some sort of drag racing. You could take a car and put new engine, chassis, etc. in it... Hope someone remembers... i can't for the life of me... It was probably out between 2000 and 2006. Also, i think you could buy cars from a junkyard... It's a pc game that my uncle had on windows xp... Please someone help me, i would love to play this game again. Maybe i could even help you find a game...

Hi,
The first game I want to find is a game of Zx Spectrum from 89, 90 or 91 (I am not sure from which one of these years).
In this game some kind of metallic players play inside a field where they have to insert a ball in the net. They play some kind of strange "football" or "hockey", though it's not exactly "football", nor "hockey". The thing there is in common with "football" or "hockey" is that they have to score in nets during a certain period of time (usually 5 minutes if I am not mistaken). So you are representing a team when you participate in a league of 10 or 12 teams. Your goal is to finish in the first place of that league. All teams have names of star constellations, such as: Auriga, lacerta, pavo, tucana, vela, virgo, castor, centauro, etc. So those are the names of the teams. I can't find the name of this game for more than 20 years, so I would be very thankful if someone told me the its name.

The second game I want to find is from 93 or 94. It's a PC game. In that game you are given the possibility of choosing several objects (likes ropes, scissors, wood boards, balls, etc.) and what you have to do it to place them in a manner that the task you are required to solve would be possible to be solved. Like for example: The scissors placed in a certain manner would cut the rope, then the rope would free something that would fall on the wood board, then a ball that was already lying on the wood board would jump to hit something, etc. So all those movements combined in the end would allow us to solve the required task. Any ideas?
