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

[brandon9890]

Hi everyone!
This is gonna be vague but I'm trying to remember as much as I can. It was a computer game we played in middle school around 2003-2004ish about an Egyptian cat that drinks potions and then turns into different things. I think it was a math game..maybe.

Ok seriously, I am baffled that no one has heard of this game. I've spent like 5 years looking for it.

It's on the PC, I belive it was for win 95, so it's created somewhere around 95' or so.
It's a point and click game and from the screenshots I've seen I guess it looks a little like King's Quest but from what I remember and the clips I've seen of KQ, it is a rather different game. It is set in a medieval setting and the part that I played took place in a forest. There are 2 things I remember clearly. 1) At some points Forest bandits attack you and ask for your stuff, you give them a magic ring that kills the wearer and turns him into a skeleton, the rest of the bandits run away. 2) At one point you had to go into a giant's or a troll's cave and either retrive an item or rescue someone. The cave's entrance was blocked off by a giant boulder.

I also remember that my play of it ended when I got stuck at an entrance to a castle. It had a gargoyle statue shooting out a laser beam guarding it and I couldn't get past it.

I've seriously tried searching every site that has DOS games for it and I've come up empty everywhere, it's so frustrating, I want to play that bloody game.

I was playing a some kind ofstrategy/Civilization building game few years back. In this game i would start constructing some houses then villagers would come from some place and settle. Then i start constructing more houses, farms, waterways, watch tower. Also create/set some characters as night watchman. Would beautify city or keep people happy by constructing town centres, theaters and more. Now i can't remember the name of the game. If anyone have some info/link or knows the name. Please let me know.

Thanks

Hi there,

There were a great strategy game. It's more than 12-15 years old. I remember I had two Cyclops at the starting, or some people if I choosed human race.

I remember I had to geather wood, stone, food, etc... And build houses and "make" childrens... You know: A male + a female = child... reproduktion... So you could not just buy new soldiers. You had to "make" them...

Sorry about my poor english. :-(

Any idea? There where dragons, cyclops, etc..

Heroes of Might and Magic?

(I suggest this series a lot. One of these days I'll be right)

 

[Batou667]

I also need help with a game I believe it's a ps2 (rpg maybe)game where your a samurai or something and i think you could use magic. you start off in a village. also i think you could choose between different characters at the start and I always picked some guy with tattoos all over his back. I remember cause the game was in 3rd person view. yeah if someone has any idea it would be greatly appreciated.

Onimusha?

 

[Batou667]

I can't remember the name of this game but it was on Sega 16 bit. It was birds eye view and followed 1 and possibly 2 players in co-op and you walked around a city in the beginning and kill people and grab their whips, guns, knives etc. There was a later level where you are in a cave and everything is dark but a light circle around you.

This is all I can remember it was a FREAKIN AWESOME game !


Thanks for your time !

Soldiers of Fortune, or Crack Down, maybe?

 

[miashin]

Alright I've got the vaguest memory of this game but maybe you guys can do some magic.

The game was either an adventure or horror game. The scene I'm remembering most clearly is being trapped in a room and having to solve this puzzle to survive. There's a single dresser in the room, push it to block the door and a werewolf will come through the window and kill you. Block the window a monster will break down the door and kill you. I was young, never did well with scary games, and not mentally equiped to deal with adventure game logic puzzles at the time so I gave up on it at that point. I know this doesn't give you guys much to go on.

Now I'm just curious to know what this game was. Anybody got any ideas?

 

[Batou667]

3) 3rd Game I also played for a brief amount of time but I got interested in it recentyl again. All I remember is that I think it's set in a futuristic setting, It's an action adventure game and you're controlling a female police officer. At the start of the game, I belive you have to pass the tutorial which is essentially just an obsticle course at the police academy or something.

If you took the time to read this, thank you. And I hope at least one of you knows what I'm blabbering about.

Urban Chaos?

I feel lucky to have found this thrad. I registered just for this, I hope that's all right. I actually have a few memories of this game, but honestly they may be multiple games. so really whatever seems familiar to the memories just post the names please... ^^;

I'm pretty sure it was for the SNES, as that was my main game system when I was a child, back in the 90s. I could be wrong, however!

The first thing I remember is going up or north. It was an interesting area that was filled with traps. there was a narrow path, like walking down an aisle while to the left and right were like cubicles, often times with boulders in them. Sometimes a boulder would roll down and you'd have to move into one of the the "cubicles". Sometimes there would be a step-on switch there which would trigger a boulder to shoot out from the side. I remember the character looking somewhat like Link from the Legend of Zelda but I'm very unsure.

Another memory I have is again heading up up or north... It was a bone bridge like place, and under was bubbling liquid. like lava or tar or such. I remember it was a group of characters. 2-4. I know someone was always following you. At the end of the bridge was a roundish building made out of bones I think. It was quote the detailed game, but I don't remember much besides that I loved it. I thought it could be Secret of Evermore, but the only bubbling like area didn't fit it perfectly, as I remember a distinct area with red lava you have to avoid, it was like puddles of it.

My last one has a word map to it. It was a group of four characters and the only thing I can remember is they were jumping from one side of the screen to the next. the left building or tower was collapsing and they jumped to a window to the next pillar. Inside was a king I believe. It honestly reminds me of final Fantasy but again I'm unsure.

Honestly I would love to find that/those game(s). I loved them dearly as a kid and I'd love to find them and show them to my fiance. thank you, everyone!

EDIT: I was a major RPGer and still am. I'm not sure if all of these are. It's always either adventure / rpg with me if that helps. But I can't remember battle systems well, so I can't help with that. I apologize

Just reposting in hopes that someone knows one of the games I'm talking about. Truly want to find out.

 

[Batou667]

ok this has bugged me for a while and I hope someone can help,

Ps1 game
there are 2 characters a man and a woman (they were police i think) trapped in a tower building and you had to fight robots and terrorists i think, game play was similar to resident evil could have been 2 disks but im not sure (could be thinking resi 2 there) and one character starts at bottom of tower and the other starts at top cant remember much else.

Die Hard Trilogy?

 

[snake26183]

a game from hugo series, cars game, not racing, just picking up random weapons and shooting everyone else, something like last man standing

 

[Batou667]

Hey guys, really appreciate if someone could tell me what my game is.

1. It was a PC game back in the 90's
2. You started with four different types of aliens that look like blobs with color coding.
- Blue: intelligence
- Green: Balance
- Darker Blue: Strength
- Maroon: Agility
3. Its an action RPG game where you have to shoot down bugs
4. These bugs look like the bugs from starship troopers (they were small, and they move in a bunch)
5. I remember the earlier terrain were composed of high rocks and a valley (like a canyon, etc)
6. Mission was to... survive I guess?

Thanks alot, appreciate it!

Evolva?

 

[ally_bobally16]

The game I am trying to remember, is a believe an either 90 or early 2000 computer game. It was a little kid game. I was an adventure/ problem solving game. I remember you are walking through woods around night time and I believe there is an evil witch or something? But you are walking through the woods and you have a white gloved hand pointer finger, and you can do things like solve math problems or if you get to the swamp are you can grow plants. I remember you could see a tower in the background that looked like a witches hate. I know its not much to go on but I would really appreciate any help. So does any one possibly know the name of the computer game?

I believe it's the first Alone in the Dark.

Hello everyone,

I need some serious help with remembering the name of this arcade game. I have exhausted all my Google resources ?º

I remember this arcade game (upright cabinet) around the year 1987-1992.
The game was a 2 player vertical scrolling shooter. The one unique thing I remember about the game was the powerups. The powerups were soldiers on the field and when you picked them up in your hover vehicle, they would hang on the vehicle as gunners. I believe you can have up to 4-5 gunners at one time.

The game had a kind of futuristic Robotech look to it.

Any help would be appreciated and ease my wondering mind.

Thanks

It was a really old game, for children I believe.
Somewhere near the beginning you had to place these blue (?) fuzzy balls onto a boat deck and ship them out. Some had glasses and different accessories, I think...?
Then you completed tasks with them. One was with lillypads and frogs, I think. Another, nearer to the beginning, had a cave..? Then you went into the cave after completing it. But this might be wrong.
One thing I'm sure of is that when you completed all tasks, the fuzzy balls and you arrived at a village where you dropped them off to live. Then you could go back and ship more.
I'm sure one of the first tasks included a bridge and something that stopped you from crossing it..? There was definitely a bridge.
Maybe the things weren't balls but I'm sure they were round. And maybe they were different colours but I'm convinced they were blue/mostly blue.
It was very fantasy-ish, and I played it on PC. I'm sure it was for children since it had very basic puzzles, etc.

If anyone has any idea of something close to this, please let me know.
