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

[Zivaneklose]

I'm really at my wits end here so please help me out!

I remember playing a game on the computer, which I think was about a sort of kangaroo detective? (at this point I'm not sure whether he was a Kangaroo or just something similar to it). It had a cartoony style, and the main gameplay as far as I can recall was puzzle oriented. I remember one puzzle in particular where you have to break certain parts of three large multicolored windows,(Stained glass church, that sorta thing) to reveal a text or something with the sunlight shining through the holes.

A recurring scenario would be that once you leave a scene of interest after finishing a puzzle one of the evil henchmen would show up, say something silly after which you had a couple of seconds to click something in the environment to mess stuff up for him, I specifically remember the cursor turning into a bomb during these parts to indicate that you're supposed to interact with something.

That's pretty much all I can say with a degree of certainty. It's been bugging me for the longest time not being able to find out the name

Game I'm trying to remember is a NES/SNES (not sure which) game and it's side scrolling action platformer.

It's probably a Castlevania game but I can't simply find which one. You see, at the start you are being chased by some skeletons or something like that in a cinematic. Game plays like Castlevania games obviously and you get powers like throwing energy balls from something hovering over your head. In a level you get to kill a giant octopus creature. In world map when you complete a level character walks into next level. Your goal is reaching the castle and doing something, I can't remember anything else.

As I said it's probably a Castlevania game but it can be a spin-off too. Any ideas?

Hello,

Alright so I remember playing this old PC game, Late 90's Early 00's, I just remember it being a turret defense game (FPS style) against UFO's of all kinds. It was a pretty green planet if I recall correctly and the UFO's came in a few shapes, typical saucer, jet like, something resembling some ships off Star Trek ect. Sorry it's not a lot to go off of, and apologize if it has been answered earlier in the thread.

Thanks

So there was this game I used to play about early 2000's late 90's. It was sort of an interactive storyline. It started with a grandchild talking to his grandfather I think and then he told a fable to the child to make him understand a lesson. One of the fables was the frog prince.
I played it on a windows 98 and it was a CD-ROM. If anyone could help me identify this game, I would be thankful!

I loved an old pc game kind of puzzle. you started with some balls and the computer with the same numeber of balls, you in one side of the ''map'' your enemie on the other side. the map was made of squares, where the balls are on. you can move one of your ball to a square that is on its side, then if you be right next to a ball of your ''enemie'' this ball change to the color that is the same of yours, and you can control it too. then its your enemie´s turn. if you put one ball in a square that is on the middle of 4 enemie balls, these 4 become yours, so who get all the balls win! this game is from 95-2000s i dont know, i was very young. sorry for my bad english (learned only a bit ), but if you understood and know wich game im talking about PLEEEEASE TELL ME ill be very grateful!!!
oh, almost forgot. when you ''cange the color'' of your enemie ball, there was one awesome noisy

This sounds a lot like the game Colony...

Ok guys , A guy name Lewis asked about this game however noone has answered and i am quite curious of what it is here is his post ;
I remember playing a PC point and click adventure game a while back, probably back when XP had just launched and I believe I played it on a Windows 2000 system. I can't remember much but you played as a duo of pirates. I don't remember much about one of the guys but the other one was a purple/pink type dinosaur/monster who wasn't too smart. I believe the goal of the game was to get the treasure off of the island you had found and at the end of the game you got a choice of whether to keep the treasure or give it to the people on the island as it is rightfully theirs. I remember there being someone who had something to do with music however I can't remember much more than that.

Please could you give me some assistance in remembering what this point and click adventure game was called?

Thanks,
Lewis

And if it helps I remember most of the beginning of the plot, started on a pirate ship, and i believe it crashed, they were stranded and someone in a hot air balloon is willing to give them a ride but need to find a patch , then all i remember from there is somehow they get to an island ! This game was available to trial download or buy on shockwave.com ! Please please help!

OMG Thank You So So SO Much<3~~

Hi~! ^_^ SO I've been looking for the name of this really simple game but couldn't remember it to the best of my ability... It's where you control a ball like thing with a line on it and you basically try to take up the whole screen without getting hit by the aimlessly floating balls... You can eliminate the enemy balls by trapping them and such. I hope I'm making sense but I really miss this game. HAAALLLPPP~!! hahaha Thanks.

I'm trying to remember a game i played awhile back. I remember distinctively turning into diffrent monsters. using these tokens you get when you kill monsters. Any way i think the first one is a tadpole. I do remember having to turn into the tad pole i the beginning to get passed a wolf or something. Anyway i know crystal is in the name. But can quite pick the name out.

I did a little bit or research because this game sounds interesting but this is just a wild guess...
Are you talking about Crystal Monsters?

Unforyunatley no. I was more of a final fantasy meets kingdom hearts ordeal. And i do apologize for the mass repost above. It seems the capta code i put in was to repost??? Oh well.

Hi guys, for a while now I've been trying to find this game I played back in early 2000's on Windows 98. It was on a cd which contained a few demos of games, with one of the demos being one level of the original Rayman. The game was a 2d platformer. The protagonist in the game was a woman who I think threw knifes. The background contained a lot of red and it might have looked similar to the first Castlevania's. I hardly remember anything about the game except that It was hard and i thought it was scary. It would probably be hard to find out which game this is by so little info on it but if anyone has a clue please reply.

 

[Gandoe Dyck]

Hi!
I played a game long ago with a purple-blue slime (or a drop) what started in a village (i think...) before it was going in a journey in forest, jungle, snowy terrain, there that slime was running in right side and were a lot of creatures (animals), it was fighting with some bosses and when he was going back in the village saw it was on fire (the village) and started to search some survivor (i think...) and when he knew, was going to search who did that, and somewhere in main menu is a shop where you can buy suits (another slime) with it you can play and them where like robot, cactus...

That is what i remember.It was 2D and was not a big game with a lot of GB was a simple game like Terraria...

So if someone know the name of the game plz tell me. =/
