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

- Start date
OLD floppy disk game I played back in school - around 1998-2000, but probably made way before that. Sort of archaeology based. Digging up pieces of pottery and stuff. The HUD along the bottom had buttons for spade, trowel, brush, magnifying glass, etc. If you used a tool that was too big you'd break the thing you were digging up. Think it was isometric view, with diagonal arrows on the HUD for movement, and probably point-and-click. Was maybe in Roman times. You'd start with black fog of war all around the spot you were standing on and had to walk around to uncover more of the map.
Other memory is of some sort of History based educational side-scroller. On floppy disk again. Might be the same game, not sure. The overall premise of the game seemed to be using a pocket-watch to go forward and backward in time. The final "boss" was on a wooden pier, and you had to use the pocket-watch to travel back to an earlier time period where the pier hadn't been built and he falls into the water. The only other bits I randomly remember was a maths puzzle game with old imperial (UK) coins where you had to use combinations of them to get the correct amount, and a bit where you had to drag and drop dates and names onto a historical timeline.
Been bugging me for ages. Anyone who knows what it is an instant legend.

Hi all. Looking for two old school PC games. Tried the good old google search but nothing came up so here goes...
I believe both games were demos, but they've stuck with me ever since.
The first was a top down RPG. From what I recall, the main character was dressed in blue, with orange?/red? hair, and, while he did have a sword, a special move he had was when he threw bags of money or explosives or something. Another character I distinctly recall was dressed in green, and might have been a ranger/archer of some sort. This game also had a HUD to easily control your characters. I think.
The second game was an airship type game. The camera was third-person, directly behind the airship or whatever it was. On the screen were designated (green) windows/boxes to aim. To fire weapons, I'd have to use my mouse and click on the designated area. If I spammed the left side box, the weapons geared towards the left-side would fire. Customizing the airship involved increasing the surface area/land of the airship, equipping power sources and weapons (long-range guns, like cannons, and short-range defenses, like spikes).
Thats all I remember of these two games. Any help would be much appreciated!

No it wasn't the Redguard, Lands of Lore, any of the Gothics, nor Anvil of Dawn or any Ultima or spin of.InedibleTrevor said:
Lands of Lore is feeling very close though, newer graphics I believe. So perhaps my year range is 1999-2006 ish. Little better, haha.
By the way, much appreciation for even these ideas, each is giving me more of an area to keep searching.
Hi! I am looking for a puzzle game back in the mid 90s to the early 00s... it was a freeware game for pc, where you played in an overhead look through levels of monsters and puzzles. The game had 9 or 10 parts, that each had slightly different mechanics. Everytime you finished one part, you got a password to unlock the next one (had to download it first, every part consisted of several levels).
It was really awesome and I am dying to find out the name
Does anyone know what I am talking about?

H1 im looking for a old pc game(i think its on the pc not sure) where you play a knight.It was a fps hack and slasher you could upgrade your armour and swords.I dont really remember much rather than that but there was a very wierd level where you fight on ship in the desert that had wheals on it like a tank/cruiser.If any of this rings a bell il be very happy ive been looking for this old bastard for years.Thanks.
Hey there,
I am looking for an old mystery game. You either play as a boy or girl that both made this junior detective club. I do not remember the story, but I do know you go to different places around town (there is this animation of the boy on a skateboard and the girl on rollerskates). You talk to people and write down what they said in your notebook. You then highlight inconsistancies in your notebook and that is how you progress through the game and ultimately solve the mystery.
Thanks in Advance!

I remember an old topdown aircraft shooting game that you played co-op or alone (mostly co-op since it was more fun)
I remember the game being on a 50in1 cd on the pc and that there was no collision between both players (one controlled with the arrow keys on the keyboard and spacebar, the other with the mouse. One play was grey, the other green.
I also and this is probably the key feature in finding the name of this game: there was a beer gun. A gun shaped like a beer glass attached to the plane that shot the foam.
I've been looking for the name of this game to play it again for years now, desperatly trying to find it...

Have you been able to confirm yet?Maugerlemon said:
EDIT: Could the ferret familiar be Syruss, the Thief Guild familiar? Here's a pic:

From Intelligent Game Reviews review of Lands of Lore 3:

"Another unique twist on the game is the familiar... Syruss (the ferret) will pick up just about anything that isn?t tied down, though nobody seems to worry about the fact that you have a flying ferret floating around you."
Sounds like we might have got it.
Hi does anyone remember a pc game from a few years back centred around this penguin who was searching for an evil dictator or something who had kidnapped his girlfriend... I remember there were lots of crates that you would smash and walking/animated bombs and twirling gold coins - and there were platforms covered in snow and ice... And I think there was some point you could change into a bigger or stronger penguin if you found a gem and then the penguin would turn red and like morph..? Also at the end you would battle the evil penguin in his throne room.. And at the beginning the game started with the main penguin telling you about his life and setting up the story etc...
Sorry if this is like impossible to find.... It's driving me crazy..
