I have a game i want to know. I remember that you play as a dark haired guy and that you fight with monsters, the only thing that is clear in my mind is that in the endgame you run around in what looks like organic materials and blood and that the end boss is a giant worm/snake that you have to kill with a diamond-tipped spear.I'm not quite 100% sure but i think you start the game in a house where you can find a dagger or you run up to the house and find the dagger inside. i also think you actually kill organs in the blood stage but it´s been almost 12 years since i last played or even saw that game. i anyone has any suggestions to what it could be, please let me know.

Oh how happy you'd make me if you found mine! It's an early-to-mid nineties shareware ball and paddle game, where the paddle was a black-haired boy, the ball was small and yellow, and there was a dinosaur who tried to bite your paddle so it fell off the playing field, which was a sort of stage, with the curtains descending after each level was completed. Instead of bricks, there were easter eggs, each a different color(Blue/Yellow/Red/Chocolate/Green), and you could get weird bonuses if you caught the coins descending from broken eggs, like your head being enlarged so you could headbutt the dino off the stage. Sometimes the dino plain walked, on other levels it could teleport or dance around. I hope someone recognizes it, I'd love to play it again after all these years!

Right now I'm looking for a game that I've seen pop by in some escapist videos (zero punctuation? movie bob? I'm not sure). A game where burly bodybuilders and other clownlike figures walk in a line behind each other walking through different walls. I think a different button will change your posture and the first one through leaves a silhouette that the others have to get through, so they have to press the same button. I've never played it, but would like to. Who knows what it's called?
Three things I'm pretty sure about:

It is probably a console game
It probably came out in the last 4 years
It is probably from japan
I'm sure a bunch of you fellow gamers must know what game I'm talking about!

Hello.
I've been searching for a game I used to play on win98, old game. It was fun and the whole family played it.
So, it was in 2D, I think you were in a role of a miner and you had to complete several levels, by killing all the monsters in the level or getting to the finish(I think)...first monster I remember is a blue thing, its moving like your charecter - following your steps, others are like some kind of aliens, purple, red,... While you were digging dirt, you could move rocks and with them you could kill some of the monsters (if it fell on them). You could also use dynamite and bombs to destroy something.
First room is full of dirt and two blue monsters, one is trapped in a rock room. There is one more level full of rocks, and you had to move them so the entrance to complete the level is opened.
Oh, and when you die there is a picture of a death stone and R.I.P. on it.
I tried to find it, but all I could find were some newer versions on the online sites for games, not so cool. :(

Thank you in advance!
Nothing at all? :(
If you could find newer versions, what were the newer versions called? That gives us a better starting point.

It kind of sounds like one of the many types of boulderdash.
Here are some screenshots how it should look like, but its not it. It has similiar gameplay, but overall everything is different.

Went through all the images on google, nothing feels as the right game.
It must be a rare one, or probably doesn't even exist hehe.

Newer versions are probably all the boulderdash games, yeah.
Maybe supaplex?
Nope. :/ It has brown dirt.

Do you remember what the playstation game was called where:
- you had to set up the village to make everyone happy
- but you first had to earn the village pieces through temples (possibly temples)
- and you only started with one or two items?

Please and thank you. :D

I remember one where you played this guy who inherited his grandfather's (or uncle's) asylum. You helped a woman who is a ghost who thought she had a kid, also a dragon lighter that you used to escape an iron maiden. It was a first person puzzle game where you had to solve the mysteries in the asylum or be in it forever!

I have another one, I game I used to play on the amiga. It had these happy anime female protagonists who had magic wands.

You could create one magic ladder. If you created a new one the old one dissappeared.

When you used your wand you trapped the enemies (which were wasps, lobsters, sharks, mantisses etc. although each level had at most 2 different enemies). If you used your wand again you would slam them over your head to the other side. 3 Slams and they're dead (and they'd drop a one-shot weapon on pickup, like a rocket, basketball or 4 red bouncing balls).

The smart way to play was to collect all flowers in a level. If you killed monsters after that, they'd drop a letter instead of a weapon. Get E X T R A and you get an extra life from a fairy.

There were a couple of bosses. A whale (first one?), crocodiles (second one and easiest), an elephant. The final boss was a small guy that jumped around and grew bigger each time you defeated the previous stage until his foot is bigger than you.

I thought it was called crystal warriors or rainbow warriors, but no luck.
Rodland?

Did you try http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boulder_Dash

It shows a bunch of clones such as the pit, dig dug, repton and crystal mines II.
hm..the first two levels of boulder dash 2, but the monsters and diamonds aren't the same (monsters are insects, aren't really shown - they're squares, in the game i'm looking for you can see them). It must be a clone, but not the ones you pointed out or are written on wiki.
The game name had something to do with mine or coal. And you could use bombs & dynamites :)

hello everyone, im looking for a 3rd person based rpg on PC, i dont remember much about the gameplay except its like an rpg that you control 1 hero type character, i remember the intro being an army of orcs destroying this village, the orcs were bright red i think
any clues anybody?? :)
It sounds like it could be one of the Might and Magic games. I don't know which one, but the only game in that series that I've played also featured red Orcs.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Might_and_Magic

There's a list of the 9 games it could be, and you'll probably find a video of the intro you're talking about on Youtube.
I had a look but it wasnt the might and magic series, but thanks.

hello everyone.
first of all, awesome thread, i'm new here and i hope you can help me with a game that's making me going crazy becouse i can't remember its name nor i'm able to find it anywhere.

everything i can remember:
very old, dos game
genre: platform
description: you controlled a guy that was a bit robot-like, but somewhat remembered me about a penguin. the most important thing: it had a neck that you used make it longer and longer at your will (sorry for my english) to grab/reach things
the game started outside a building, while snowing and you had to go inside several levels, collecting items while passing through them
i can't remember more at the moment

i'll keep my fingers crossed
thanks in advance
have a good one

Sounds like Blackstone Chronicles.

Hello to all.

I've looked all over the web, and have yet to indentify this old game.

I remember my sister's computer having windows 95 on it, and this was a demo game that was installed on it. I remember it being called "Drednought", but google has not been able to aid me in my search.

It was a click/command type of space game. it remember it having an asian looking 2d animated girl as your "communications" officer.

The ships themselves were very reminiscent of tempest, although the ships were solid geometrical shapes, not just lines.

I've been going crazy looking for this game, or any information on it, but have come up empty.

PLEASE HELP!

I remember and online game I played in early 2000s. The game was based on a series of customizeable action figures (or vice versa?), I remember one playable character being a cowboy kind of guy with two pistols, and a boss fight in which a dialogue preceding the fight went something like
Boss- How do you like my upgrades?
Cowboy- I like it, stupid and ugly really fit your style
Cheesy perhaps, but it was a fun game

Hey.

There was an RPG/adventure game around 2004, maybe a bit more recent, where you were this blond character (iirc) , on an island, and you had to fight all sort of beasts and animals. The game had an interesting feature that allowed you to choose where you attacked your opponent: head, left hand, right hand, body, left foot or right foot. You started with some sort of melee weapon, and you could craft armor and weapons with the items you found killing foes.

I played a demo of the game, on PC, it was demo on some IT magazine CD but I just can't remember on which, or how I even obtained it back then in the first place.

I looked on the magazine covers online, but can't seem to find it, and can't even remember its name.

Any hint or help is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance
