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

[knightswhosaynoob]

hello all, new here.
i am trying to find a game from a few years ago, it was quite old when i first played it around 7 years ago, maybe more.
you took command of a space fleet, you hired different crew members and upgraded ship with different parts, eg- cargo hold, larger fuel tanks, thrusters, passenger cabins etc.
you took contracts to earn $$, eg- take passengers or cargo to other planets.
then you could expand fleet and crew as you gain more success.

the universe map was a 2D map you could scroll around, a starry background with the planets and other spacecraft moving around on it.

if your ship ran out of fuel or you failed to meet your contracts before going too far into the red your game would end and you failed.

there was a 1hour free version to download but it didnt give you enough time to fully appreciate the gameplay.
when it ended there were details to buy the game for $20, which was a bit much for a game that is old and basic.

i had the game a long time ago but cant remember its name and looking online has not come up with the answers, any help appreciated thanks.

Ok there was a game made in the 90s that was for children. I can't remember the name for the life of me but:
It was a side scrolling game, the art seemed very Tim Burton like, it was filled with monsters and ghosts and took place in a school. You where a normal kid trapped there. The beginning of the game had lightning and I think you got attacked from monsters under the bed. It was an educational game too so you had to solve Math puzzles throughout the game. I also want to say it was black and white?
Thanks in advanced!

Hey, I'm looking for the name of the game probably from the end of the 90' (or maybe beggining of 2000'?). It was an 2d, arcade, racing game. First car was "moving" the screen, if you were to slow, or crashed you lost, the last car on the screen won the game. Cars could get weapons, extras, etc. Any1 got any ideas?

Maybe one of the game modes of Ignition?

Im looking for a game that had you stuck on a different planet, it was a childrens learning game where you had to collect enough fuel and parts to fix your rocket ship and return home. The fuel was like atoms or something along that line.

Hey I dont remember the name of a pc game that i played when i was a kid. I guess it is a 90s game but im not sure. It was a game with cartoon graphics. At the beginning i remember that you where in front of a house, there were like three animals there( i think one of those was a bee) and a kid. The kid is telling the animals to go inside the house to save his friend, his friend has a uncle that is a wizard, and his uncle has done something bad to him. Then you control the animals , you can choose which one to control, and you go into the house to find clues and to find the kid. I remember walking up steps and then finding a room where was the gosht of the kid.
If someone knows please tell me, Ive been trying to find for a long time,
thanks ;

HI, I remember playing a game on mac, in early 2000's. I presume it was a 90's game, but it was a sort of futuristic sim city style game, and i'd love to find out what its called. Also, does anyone know if the original Myth game for mac from the 90's, can be downloaded or played on a new mac, or will it not work?

Finally, does anyone know of any websites that have a list of old 90's and early 2000's games for mac, pc or ps1? Id love to just go through them all and remember good memories.

Hi

I was looking for a game i played in the mid 90s. i dont remember much and i think the game wasnt that good, but it haunts me that i dont know the name. it was in ego perspective. an adventure or rpg something like that. in the beginning their was a cave and i think you had to prepare something that you could fly a dragon. then i remember a video of a ride on a dragon. the dragon crashed and the game continued in a swamp. and then a city. dont know anymore. but i think there was a time limit and you had to start anew when it was up. thanks for your help

Hi, This one is from the 2000 i guess:

You are a dragon, who stands up like a person and has to save his dragon girlfriend maybe, you start from the bottom of a tower and every level is a floor of the tower. I do remember being a platformer, the levels were small and mostly made from stone tiles, the dragon looked "cartoonish", simple in 2d you couldnt fly and only jumped at least in the first lvls, the dragon killed enemies with spitting something that didn't go very far... Any idea about this one? Maybe the name of the game was the name of the dragon, a single word maybe.

Thanks

the is about you must use a ball to hit enemy.
the ball keep bouncing all around you must hit the ball.
if you miss the ball you lose.
you only can move left/right and jump.

Okay so I have been trying to figure out a game name but can't think of it. It was a game I played on the PC back when I had Windows 98. It was a birds eye view game it was 3d and your character was a guy in i believe blue pants and yellow shirt, he also had a fairly large head, you fought various creatures like zombies and some kinda squid looking creatures by throwing red hammers at them, you could upgrade your hammers by finding blue hammers or red hammers that would either make you throw them faster or give you +1 more that you throw at a time. At first your in a large house or building then you fight a boss zombie with four arms and you head to the basement where you fought a boss squid thing. I cant remember for the life of me what this one is called but I really want to figure it out.

Never mind I found it it was called Spooky castle and was in a egames game pack

Its a fantasy adventure sort of game from the 90's i think. I remember it being based more on dialogue and making the right decision rather than killing everything. I only remember a few parts like early on in the game you have to go to a witches hut or something and you can loot a bunch of things, but i think she appears as a spirit or something. Also i remember a ghost ship that talks to you or something like that. I dont think you really controlled the characters movements, but instead you sort of clicked on things to interact with them. Im pretty sure you start off leaving a castle or something, and i remember you could die like right away if you tried to cross the river the wrong way or something.

Hello!

There is one game that is quite weird but FUN!! I've been playing this game when i was only 8; trying to finish it but to no avail! You start at a small squared jail (3rd person/Angled) and you are being guarded by Elephant men. You need to find a way to escape that prison and escape the whole facility itself and if you dont, you'll just return to your current jail only being guarded with more elephant men! WHAT's the name of that cool game! I really cant remember

Hi there people, I was having a problem finding one game so i came here hoping someone will remember it. Anyway i really searched all around internet, I even copy/pasted every single game from wiki cars page and nothing... So the game is on PC and it is some sort of combat cars game, you don't need to race your opponents,sandbox like game, it is top view, in a world where most of the terrain is green and sometimes changing colors, plenty of bugs around the map too i think, game is around 1997-2001 probably i don't really remember, you could even jump with car as long as i remember but don't take my word for it. You could buy weapons and cars when you were in the game standing below some kind of marquee covered in weeds and you could pick up weapons of the floor when you killed car or something like that, so if anyone remember this game please help me find this old gem. Thanks in advance!

Bump, hope someone can help me on this one because i really searched all over the internet and still can't remember the name.

Hi there!

When I was a kid, I played this on a computer at a friend's house. I was only 5 or 6 years old, so it must have been sometime around 1995 probably... I can't remember if the game was new back then. Here's what I recall:

You are a little guy running around outside on a green nature-looking map, collecting different kinds of things, mainly gems that were kinda heart-shaped. There are skunks that spray some stuff that kills or damages you. I can't remember if you were able to kill em or if you just had to dodge their sprays. I think you could also "talk" to persons but i'm not sure about that. What I remember clearly is a part of the game where you had to go underground and dodge 4 or 5 spiders' poison in order to go past them. I remember this level being really scary so my friend and I always had his dad do this part of the game for us.
As I am german and the game was in english, I did never get what the game was all about and I think I never made it past the first few minutes of the level or adventure. It was in bird perspective and from my current point of view it had really raw, basic graphics. I think we played it on a DOS-system or maybe Win95.

Please help me, I've been looking for the name of this game for hours now!!

Am looking for a game I played in 1986 when I was five years old. Basically a shooter game, it looked like a flying robocop that would give a distinct "clank" sound when hit, but it dosent die instantly I think... depends on what armour you fit, it can have different abilities.
