Ok i have one i can't seem to remember, its about taking over bases, there was barracks, stables, a wizard tower, and all you did was click on a base and send you units to another base to take over it, once you had all the bases you won, there was diffrent backrounds too like snow,lava, and a forest i can't seem to remember much more, just remembered, also i think the units regrouped in each base giving you even more units to send

Hello great thread
I'm looking for a 2 player spaceship game i used to play with friends. The gameengine/controls and look, seems a lot like Star Control. You could thrust and shoot sprees of bullets/laser and try and hit your buddys spaceship. It was in an enclosed area and there were obstacles that you could hide behind and passages you had to fly thru, tight turns around things and of that nature. I think that you could choose different kinds of ships, that had different pros/cons. I'm pretty sure one of the ships had the same shape as in Star Control, a halfmoon shape.

I remember the colours and look was more plain and conservative than Star Control.

Anybody who remember this game? Or am i just remembering Star control differently, and that was the game i was playing?

It was on Amiga500.

Thanks!

I got a couple of games that i just cant seem to remember, any help would be greatly appreciated.
so here goes, sorry if its a little vague
First game is a vertical shooter space invader style where you are playing in one screen at a time, you play as a flying dog with big ears and a horn and shoot towards enemies i think one enemy is a bee and theres some kind of boss later on, also i think i remember enemies dropping powerups in form of potions or elixirs.
btw think its from around the 2000s mayby before dont know and its a pc game.

The second game is a dig dug like game where you play as a criminal or fugitive and i think theres police monsters or people that are the enemies, and think you drop rocks on them by digging up to it but can kill yourself if you stand under it, pretty sure its a pc game and also i think its around the 2000s mayby early 90s.
sorry cant remember more

and another one im pretty sure no one knows about is a game with a top down veiw on a maze kind of look, it has something to do with mice, trapping them, killing them dont know...
My mind keep saying mousetrap, but thats not it i think.
It was on a disc with more games, another game on the cd was a game where you drove a monster truck(not looking for this, just a refrence if anyone had the same CD) if that helps.
also PC

Thanks in advance^^

The third game might be the game Rats!, which was all about getting rid of all the rats that were breeding in the maze, with gas, poison, bombs, gender-change, etc =P
I think I might remember the second game too, but what it was about, how it played and what it's called slips my mind..

OMG, it is Rats i thought this was a game no one knew about thank you^^

Hi

I've been trying to find out the name of this game which I played around 15 years ago, I cannot remember much of it but this is what I can remember.

You went into a some castle to fight monsters.
You fought the monsters with weapon or with monsters of your own
To get your monsters you hatched them out of and Egg.
You could find the eggs around the castle and they were just as big as you and you jumped on the egg and cracked them with yours hands.
You could buy weapons and others things
You could buy a race track in the place you came from.

Sorry thats all I can remember, I hope someone recognizes this game.

Hello, I remember playing this game on my desktop around 1999 (maybe?) The game had you play as a character that looked like an Egyptian man.(Black hair, darkened tan skin and wore a piece of clothing around his waist) The game had you push blocks to certain areas of the level to be able to get up to a higher platforms or move blocks out of the way to get to the exit. You also had to look out for enemies such as spiders,mummies and fire that was randomly placed throughout the level.If a enemy got to you I remember the man making a horrible scream as he died, also if a block fell on you, you could hear the sound of his bones break and again him screaming. The things I barely remember about this game is it took place in a pyramid of some sort, had decent graphics for a old computer game.The object of the game was to basically escape the pyramid and complete all the levels.I know for a fact it's not Ankh or Pharaoh's Curse but it had a name similar to Ankh I think......It's been driving me nuts that I cannot remember the name, if anyone knows the game I'm talking about, I would really appreciate it if you could help me out, Thanks.

Does anyone know this game name? It was mostly at pizza places with lots of kids. It was on an arcade-looking machine but it was not an arcade game. It was 3D and allowed up to four players. It was an adventure game where you picked your character and would go to one of many locations and fight monsters until you got to a boss. You used magic and other weapons to fight your way through. I remember one boss you had to fight was a Lion/Snake/Goat thingy. It shot out fire. If you remember this game or the name of it, please reply. I really want to know the name of the game.
Thanks

 

[CaptainCliche]

there was a PC game out in either the late 90's or early 00's it was a model train simulator similar to railroad tycoon, but used toy trains and models to solve puzzles, it came bundled with a demo of "great contraptions" or something.

Would be extremely grateful if someone could help.

The game I am looking for is an old pc game around 98/2000. I am pretty sure it was part of some sort of game pack disc. The goal was to cover each map with your color before the computer did using weapons like cannons and bombs I think. I remember one map was a donut shape. Any help would be great. Thanks.

It's a game from yeaaaars ago. i can't remember the console or the year, but basically you were in a house and there was guy in black combat liek attire and they would creep into your house or a house with weapons.. i somehow recall a hoook and they would come through secret doors behind mirrors etc. Sounds mad.. but yeah!

i need help finding a game

it was a strategy base game, it had a story mode. you controlled your civilaztion from like a god point of view. on mission or quest was there were 4 people and each had a certain amount of time to build up your army as you could than at the end was an armageddon where everyone in your town was brought to fight from civilians to your army men. you had ranged units who shot fire from their hands. you had abilities to flatten mountains strike enemy units with lightning and other things. i remember one map you fought on and you started right by an enemy with only a mountain seperation you two with like 5 other enemys on the planet too. oh yea the maps were all planets themselves

i want to say there was some "voodoo" in the game but not 100% on that, i played this game between 1999-2002 it was for pc and you could purchase it at meijer i remember seeing the cd it was a 2 pack with a picture of the earth on one side i want to say. i never did get into the other game in the 2 pack.

i need help finding another game.

im a little fuzzier on this one but iwant to say you were a girl character. you had cards. when you threw these cards on the ground monsters would spawn and fight other enemy creatures. i want to say the gameplay started in a castle and something happened to a man close to you perhaps your father or your king.
played this on playstation 1 or 2 , maybe even n64
played it between 1998-2002

I need some help figuring out this game. I believe it was late 80's and was for the computer. I don't remember it having good graphics, so it might be older. It was a first person maze game. You might have been able to see visually down five steps, let's say, but you could only see what items were on the step or two immediately in front of you. I remember seeing something like a skull or a ghost on the next step and backing up so I wouldn't have to fight him (or gather my wits before I fought him, I was very young playing this).

It *might* be Minotaur from Acornsoft, but I having a horrible time finding screen caps to confirm. The only picture I found (http://www.vintagecomputer.net/fjkraan/comp/atom/Control_Universal_catalogue_html/Acornsoft/img/Control_Universal_catalogue_minotaur.png) is very much what I'm thinking of, just better graphics than black and white outlines. Does anybody know where there are better screen caps or what games had a similar layout? Thank you!
