Alright, so I've got a tough one that.. Probably won't get answered.

I don't remember what console it was for, but it was probably PS/PS2.. I never actually played it.. All I'm going off is the cover art for the game.

I remember a brown haired guy/kid standing on the deck of what appeared to be a small airship, about the size of a sailboat or a small schooner. there were other airships in the background, and clouds. The kid was hanging on to the mast of the ship with one hand, and had his other hand out.. I believe there were some girls there, too. It was more than likely a JRPG-style game.. I remember looking it up for information. Thinking back on it now, reminds me of Grandia (which isn't it), or the FF series (Which, none of them are it either)

If there's anyone who this sparks a memory in, thanks much.

This game was one that my brother and I used to play when we were young, back on the original Playstation. I may be mixing games here, because I don't really remember very well, but I will do my best to describe it. It might have been a platformer (my brother swears it was) and your character had a laser that you could drag enemies by and it would change colors. I also think you were rescuing people because they would say something like "Get me outta here, Wade" or "Get me outta here, Wayne" (and I know it's not Oddworld). I really can't remember much else but it's been bugging both of us for years. Thanks in advance for any help.

tried googling, and reading through about 15 pages of posts in this thread without being able to find what I'm looking for. I don't remember the game to well as its quite long ago but here goes.

I played it on apple 2e (floppy disk)
I remember that it was a sort of maze type game. you would be in a room (which was in essence a blank screen) with the option to go forward, left, or right. you would not actually move to the next room, there was no animation of you walking or moving forward. you would select the direction then the next room would load to your screen.

once in the room there was often something for you to "fight" (no animation) usually a robot, monster, or dragon. (I believe the game was futuristic). I never did well so I "died" (no animation).

I don't recall much else. If I had to guess this game was in the mid 80s.
I'm afraid you just described an entire genre of games. Can you remember any specific details?

I will go straith into it:

-It was a RTS game in the style of Command and Conquer with base building and recolecting resources.
-It was around the year 2003 that I played this? give or take 3 years maybe.
-It was in the SEA. As in, underwater. (probably the most important trait)
-I played it on PC definitivly.


Unafortunally thats all I rememeber about it. I dont know what happended to that game, I would be interested in at least whatch a video about it to see if I remember it lol.

Skies of Arcadia? That was Dreamcast/Gamecube though.

Hey guys! I have on for you. Playstation 1 game, you are flying a spaceship, and aliens are invading. You could pick up people and stuff with a tractor beam and transport them to safety, shoot aliens of course. I remember you could buy a bunch of weapons, and different ships. Maps were made so if you fly in only one direction, you'd fly in circles. In one mission I remember you had to save people from around the city and put them in a school, then you had to beam up turrets and deploy them around the school to defend it against the aliens. Ring any bells?

Many thanks to anyone who can help me remember this relatively obscure game; I remember that I bought it for a pound in a Pound Shop some years ago, I want to say seven?

Anyway, it was a game for the PC. I think it was possibly Windows 98 or Windows ME. It was a 3D third person RPG/action adventure game. It had a fantasy/medieval setting, I remember there being a castle setting, and I think there was a castle for the final level of the game.

You could pick between three main characters. A male warrior/knight who may of had blond or brown hair. A dwarf character. And a female mage character, who was the one I ever played. She wore a green dress, or possibly green robes, and she had dark skin. She might of had a long braid, but I'm not positive on that one. I'm sure her name was Kite. Her story started with her master/father figure being killed, and her first level is in his hut/house.

It's a pretty dark game, physically, and I seem to remember lots of green; the magic might have been green? I know I managed to complete it.

Again, many thanks to anyone who can help me. This has been bothering me for a while.

I cant for the life of me remember the name to this game..Could someone help? It started out as you waking up as a prisoner on a ship with another person. The guards come and get you, but before you get off the ship, you choose your name, gender, race(the few I remember is a cat person, lizard person, and a human looking race with blue tatoos on the face.) and facial features. As you get off the ship, you meet a man where you choose the sign you were born under and such. ( I usually chose the rogue) After that you are released and get a few quests. The first few are like finding out who killed a man and why, among others. After that you travel to a new city, (and as a rogue I of course went into the rogues court) where I did quests for the boss. Thats pretty much all I can remember :/ Does someone know what I'm talking about?

I've posted this a few times already with no luck. So i'm trying again because I really want to find this game.

Hello, I'm hoping someone on here can help me. I've been thinking about this game for a while but I don't remember what it's called or what console it was on (I'm thinking Snes, PS1 or PS2) The only thing I remember about this game is that the main character used a gun (I think) and when you got a new one you could use the old one to upgrade the new one to make it stronger and/or more features (I believe you could also find parts around the world as well). Also I remember a side quest involving collecting insects (maybe just Beetles) and some were stronger than others to use in Fights against other computer opponents insects/Beetles...Sorry, I know this isn't much help, I know it's not very old (made in the last 10 years) I appreciate any help.

Hello!
I would like to find a game which i played arround year 2000. I think that you played as a turtle (not sure if it was turtle) and it was for single and for 2 players also. You had to jump in some kind of a brick which moved up and kill snakes and dogs and other creatures which were comming from upstairs. The boss was a rat as i remmember... And you had levels with different type of bricks... ice bricks (where you move quicker), bricks in the water (where you move slower), wodden bricks, ... I would be happy for any help. I appologize for my bad English.

Hi,
I'm looking for an old pc game from around 2000,
it was an rpg game trilogy, there was a main character by the name of Griselda or something like that and she was a princess. One of the games in the trilogy started with chicken licken running around saying the sky is falling down, you go throughout the game and there is a troll under a bridge, dragon and wishing well. There was also a part where you go to a blacksmith and you have to blow bellows to solve a clue. My mum thinks the game might have kingdom in the name but isn't entirely sure. Any help is appreciated thankyou.

Alright, I have three games that I need help with. All for the PC and all Well over 5 Years old.

1st - In this game, you played as Thor - God of thunder and had to defeat Loki. It was a top down view and you used your hammer as a weapon. Which you could throw it, and it would go to the edge of your screen and come back to you. I don't know if that was the only weapon, mainly because I never got past the first level. I do recall that in the beginning of the game you were in an open forest, at Oden talks to you - I believe about not hurting the innocent. I almost want to say the game was actually just called "Thor God of Thunder" but all of my searches have been to no avail.

2nd - This was a 2D Shooter similar to Duke Nukem in the way its graphics/View is Setup. But I have checked the Older duke Nukem games and that is not it. As I recall from the first level, it is a destroyed city (I believe nuclear war) and when you start - Behind you is a destroyed plane that has weapons/ammo hidden behind it. A ladder that leads up to some special pickups. If I recall correctly, the enemies are more monsters/demons rather than people. Also for the first mission i believe you had to rescue a scientist, but I can't be sure. One of the key things I remember from the game is that to get to the next level (Most of the time) you would have to find Special patterns on the walls that was actually a color-key combination to open the final door Which I always thought was really cool.

3rd - This game was a Wizard-ish game. I Don't recall too much about the game besides the fact you ran around picking up potions as points and similar items. Also certain potions were teleportation potions that could take you to secret rooms filled with treasure, or to your doom. I believe this game was more of an Adventure game rather than a Shooter. I really don't recall much else on this game.

Once again, all these games are for the PC And well over 5 Years old. Thanks in Advance for any help!
