Id really appreciate if any1 could tell me what the name of this game is, despite the vague details.
I think you can start either as a boy or a girl or a girl only, your like a knight and your like in this castle and you like venture off to forests or deserts/valleys fighting off monsters, you encounter griffins and i think it was giant lizards or giant turtles. You are in a group sort of like final fantasy but not the same, the game is like rpg element and in one of the plot was that you went back into your fortress or castle at night and you talk with some one and you get ambushed inside the castle and you have to escape. It was a ps1 or ps2 game i wasnt so sure, but itd mean alot to me if any1 knew the name of this game.
I think that game is Golden sun: The lost age? Maybe? It seems correct because you start in a castle, And have a group ALOT like final fantasy, I believe if you told me what console it is on I could make sure thats 100% Correct. (Golden sun is for the gameboy.)

It was a game, Your a boy (LITTLE boy) with a caveman shirt, And used your head to destroy stuff/enimies, You touched flower like things to go into a bonus level, And you could also fight bosses. You ALSO needed 30 smily coins and you could get hearts (And something like a blue heart that would give you more life) from wierd dinosaur things, if that helps at all. I believe it was a NES/SNES Game called "Bling" Or maybe "Blong". I have not found it.

I don't remember a lot about this game, I was very young, but it's a SNES game,side-scrolling, you're a kind of white knight I guess, uses a sword. I remember that the first level was in a castle, and the second one was in the water, and there was big balls with letters wrote inside (A,B,C) that you had to push into the right places, like this. Sorry, that's all I remembered...

There is another one, SNES too, it was a side-scrolling game that you're a wizard with a staff and a robe and you can use magic to kill enemies, like Megaman. The first levels was in the branch of trees I guess... That's all I remembered too

Ok... this is a tough one.
Its a tank game from the 90s.
Its a turn game, where you could choose through different types of ammunition, move your tank around the map to get a better shot, buy new ammunition, etc. You could play it with up to 4 people if i remember correctly...! Oh... and each type of ammunition had a different type of visual effect... I think it was a 3d game, but i'm not sure of it.
Might be the game 'Blast Doors', played it a lot back then =D

The first one sounds like Super Ghosts N Ghouls. I have never played it, but the white knight is rather iconic in gaming. The introduction is in a castle, but the first level takes place outside. Then you get into a level with water, not sure if its in the water though.

please help me remember my childhood!

It's this Vertical scrolling shooter that I played on PC (not sure if it was bootlegged or not...)

The setting was somewhat futuristic. You controlled a plane and you were shooting tanks, other craft, and space pods. if you killed enemies sometimes they would drop money (represented by a green $ circle floating around). You could use this money to upgrade your aircraft further.

Here is where i can get descriptive. The main menu had a hangar where you could proceed to the next mission or buy upgrades. some of the things you could upgrade:

- bombs. you could press spacebar and all enemies would take damage. you only had a few bombs at a time
- shields. gain extra health bars on the side of the screen
- plasma cannon - extra damage that appeared as blue blobs in the middle of your line of fire
- automatic cannon - could automatically fire regular bullets at enemies to your side

now for these weapons you could only have one at a time.
- rockets. these standard rockets hit all airborne enemies
- ground rockets. these ones would hit all grounded enemies and buildings
- delayed rockets - these would come out 1 at a time on both sides of your aircraft and was innaccurate, but it could hit both air and ground enemies

more on the game. in the beginning you could choose a difficulty setting. i always chose Rookie (it had a picture of a scrub pilot with glasses)

health was represented by green bars on the right side of the screen. shield health was on the left.

the reason i cant remember the name of this game is because i sucked at computers back then and i accidentally changed the name of the desktop icon.

I can hear the soundtrack in my head! *edit* oh yeah this was back in the 90's on a Windows 98

I joined just to help with this...Fairly sure he was talking about Ecoquest: The Search for Cetus, it's a Sierra game about whales. But I don't remember anything about about an attic. First scene opens where you have to clean a duck or something because it got caught in an oil spill. Anyways, hope this is the game.

This one is killing me. My uncle gave me this game for my bday circa late 80's early 90s. He thinks it was developed by Sierra but I'm not 100% sure on that. Here's what I know

1.) It's about whales (Not Whale's Voyage)

2.) Educational feel for most of it - you can go out and spot different types of whales - decent graphics at the time.

3.) The other part of the game was exploring this old whaling museum. Part mystery, etc.. You could click on Harpoons, look at paintings etc... But it was definitely a "mystery".

4.) Played on Apple 2GS

Any ideas????
I have also been looking for this game for ages and nobody ever replied to this persons post. If anyone might be able to help me that would be great. I have more to add to it.

There was an older game that was almost exactly the same that was completely text based. I played them both but the latter released game is what I am interested in. It is a clue finding game where you can go around your house as well as a museum.

There is a part of the game (the beginning of the original) where your character wakes up in the middle of the night in his new house and a picture of the previous owner (an old whaler) is beckoning to him. because of this the boy goes about wondering about the old mans story.

Eventually he finds enough clues to open the attic and find the old mans diary and stuff.

The game play is very interesting. It is a map of the house/village/musium with all the furniture. you move the character around with the keyboard and press enter next to something to examine it. All examinations and story is of course text, but there are some action comic lick animations.

please help?

Hey guys,
When I was in either first or second grade sometime between 2000-2003 (i'm 17 now), I remember playing an educational game in computer class. I don't remember the main purpose of the game, but I do remember collecting cheese at one point. The game had animal characters, not humans, and I vaguely remember a mouse. Also, the game had a castle/kingdom setting and i'm pretty sure its not any of the JumpStart series. Sorry if this is vague but its all i can remember for now.

Anyone know an old game similar to Banjo-Kazooie , with similar sound effect but slightly darker and not completely the same, scared me a little as a kid. Same sense of having to walk around and achieve shit to defeat some evil thing.

Sounds a lot like Raptor: Call of the Shadows [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raptor:_Call_of_the_Shadows].
This game had one of the best, most memorable soundtracks ever recorded. No wonder you can't get it out of your head.

You didn't give a lot to go on, but a more dark setting would mean you're looking for Pandemonium [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pandemonium_(video_game)] on the PSX?

I'm looking for a - bear with me - shipwreck discovery game on PC. It was released somewhere between 1995 and 1998 I presume. I think it was an economy game in which you bought equipment for your boat and batyscaphe, clicked on a map where you want to go and when you found something interesting you could go down there in a batyscaphe. The game then changed from strategic / economic view to a batty simulator.
I think it had "titanic" somewhere in the title, as I believe the final goal was to discover and visit Titanic's wreckage.

Hey guys, I've got a game I've been trying to remember for a while. I think it was on Windows 95 or 98.. maybe 2000. I think it was part of a learning suite of games for kids, in the game you were a helicopter and you flew around a forest trying to put fires out and rescue animals from a top down perspective... at least, that's what I can remember :p Anybody know??

Did you also have to deliver mail at some occasions, by any chance? Because a buddy of mine used to have a game like that, but can't remember the name of it =/

One of my friends has had this moment and it's tearing them apart. I'll post the details they sent me and I hope someone here recognizes it!

"did you ever hear of a space game, not unlike eve, you start off with a small fighter or medic or egineer ship and you fly around the universe gaining ex which you can get to larger ships. The difference is although it looks completely 3d, its on a single plane so you dont have to worry about flying up or down etc. in this game were 3 races.. a clean style federtion type (human) a dirty style alien type ships (human) and a race of aliens not unlike the shadows from Babylon 5.
It was free to play but at the end of every day, all free players had their exp reset so they were limited to getting smaller ships.

I dont recall if its called fleet admiral or space admiral .. something like that?

I usd to play the aiens, they had massive firepower but no shields but they could cloak. We wold hang out in wolf packs and prowls skirmishes and when we saw a damaged ship leave the frey to get assistance we would slowly move in under their radar. and at the last moment all open fire destroying hte ship utterly. Then we were vulnerable so we would turn and flee quickly until our cloaking devices were once again operational.

This ws a purpose built mmo game with 3 races. the universe was large and accurate, earth solar system was accurat. and the jumpgate was just beyond pluto. we would set up engineers around pluto to increase the planetary defenses so if anything came through the gate they would get a welcome reception instnatly and acted as an early warning system."

Anyone? ^^
