I recall a game I played around 2006 when I was a preteen in a hotel just before we were flying back home...I think it was a ps2 game but it IS possible it was a playstation... I can only remember walking in this little village that kinda seemed like the pilgrim time and as I walked about there was this one 'begger' woman under a tree. If you tossed her a coin and waited a few seconds the screen would zoom in and she would sing this song with purely her voice- I don't even think words were used, and it was absolutely stunning. I have been wanting to find this game for just that song. Sorry its vague..

Hello fellas,

I've got one that's nagging at me whenever I think about it.

The game I played is described as follows:
- Played it in 2002 - PC
- Sci-fi/futuristic genre
- First-person perspective, shooter/war
- You play as a pilot of a hovering craft (notice I wrote hovering, this isn't a space-flight simulator - it was on the ground, on earth I don't know) with two other wingmen (AI). In the first mission, you get deployed to some sort of mining facility, that is under attack.
- in this game, you have the ability to get out/in of your hovercraft.


That's about all I remember. It would be great if anyone recognizes what I described.

- Px

Alright so the game I am trying to remember the name of is an "old" PC game - maybe late 90s. You controlled a small group of soldiers (up to 4 different characters - but I think only one at a time), and each had their own specialization (demolition, rifle, machine gun, etc.). The main point of camera view was a fixed bird's eye that could not zoom or rotate (not even sure you could move it). The gameplay was somewhat linear - you had to execute missions in a campaign style, but you had minimal freedom in loadouts, character, path, etc.

I remember sneaking around the enemy guards and being able to visually see their view area (cone graphic), being able to stealthily assassinate them. I also remember the character responding with a "I'm coming over!" line sometimes when you would tell him to move.

I want to say the title is something like Soldiers, Mercenaries, UHG!!!! It's driving me nuts. I really hope someone remembers!

Okay, You guys gotta help me with this awesome game. It was some kind of race game and had a little story, you were like an agent but you always had to race and stuff. You had guns on your car and if you wear heavily damaged, your car changed into a motorcycle. And If you wanted to repair your car/motorcycle, you had to go in this kind of truck. Does anyone remember? I think it was on the ps2.

I've been trying to find a game I played as a kid, but the plot line appears to be to generic to be found with google.

What I remember is that it had 40 levels split into four worlds (Mars, Ice, Earth, and Moon(?)). If you did nothing on the main menu, it would do a fly-through of these four worlds. In each level you were a ship, mecha, or turret and had to complete an objective. Often this objective was to shoot down all the alien ships, but I think it sometimes required that you retrieve things.

The only levels I remember are the final levels of worlds one and two because they were really hard. The end of the first world has you as a turret (I think.) with an alien mothership circling your encampment. The end of the second had in a hovering ship fight I think 10 enemies at once (I never beat it and eventually hid the game to curb my addiction.) I remember having radar and secondary weapons.

I played it on windows 98 and I think it was bundled into other software. Thanks for any help?

I'm trying to remember an old PC game I played from when I was a kid, maybe mid 90s. The game played like a side scroller and you had to climb this massive stone city that was shaped like a stepped pyramid. I remember the lower levels being slummy and the upper levels were quite rich with some sort of palace on top. I want to say the premise was to assassinate someone up there, maybe royalty. I think the character was framed or something and the game may have started with breaking out of a dungeon of some sort. All of this was kind of fantasy medieval themed. Huge thanks to anyone who can remember this one!

I am looking for a ps1 game that I'm sure was on one of the old ps1 demo discs but I've searched endlessly through all the ps1 demo discs. It's an overhead action/rpg game where you play a small warrior and you go around killing monsters and collecting essences or something. MediEvil reminded me of this game, and it's somewhat similar as far as mechanics go but the 3D is completely different. I remember specifically killing blobs, but there were a ton of other monsters. Battle is not turn based or anything, it's real time. It was kind of platformerish without the side scrolling aspect. It was kind of like brave fencer musashi. (Not Alundra) There is only one playable character and that's all I can remember. I really hope someone knows what I'm talking about, also I checked all the "famous" ones and it fell short on a google search. Thanks a bunch! Any suggestions would be great

I'm trying to find a game that was a platforming shooter kind of thing. It was on the PS1 in the early 2000s. It had 2 characters, a blue and a green guy. They had popper type things that were their weapons and from what I can remember in the opening cut scene a lot of posters fell out of the sky. This isn't much to work on but hopefully someone knows what it is.

Can anyone guess the name of this game I've been looking for?

It used to be downloadable off aol games back in 1996, I think it is a DOS game. It is a strategy puzzle boardgame which features 4 elements (rock/earth, wind, fire, water) and there are 3 of each at each corner of the board (the board is black and there is a grid). you move your character and it basically spreads or grows your element, and if you place one of your people near a group of another element, all of those elements become the same as yours.

Any Clues?

Sounds like the premise to Spy Hunter. It looks like they may have added motorcycles in Spy Hunter 2
Yea! That's it!. So much good memories in my childhood.

Thanks, bro

I have been trying to remember this game for a while now... I remember playing it in the late 90's to early 2000's. It was a Star Wars game where you had a pod racer going around a track and you had to place the right types of track to keep the pod racer going. I remember getting to lap 100 and Yoda showing up. Does anyone remember this game?

The only Star Wars pod racing game I can think of is Star Wars Episode 1 - Racer.

I don't remember much about this game I was real young and I only played it once for like 10 i think it might have been real late 90's or early 2000's but it was sort if like age of empire you had a birds eye view and you could control the tiny servants and make them create a village and it looked to be a desert setting or at least that map did but if I remember correctly you were these servants God or at least some sort of almighty being I remember you could pick up cows and people and throw them into the water and I feel like you could burn their little colonial house hut things down but I might be mistaken about that but it was for PC and I miss it

Hi, I'm desparately trying to find the name of the following game and am hopeful someone will be able to help:

I played it in the mid-90s, definitely after 1991 and definitely before 1996. It was a PC point and click type adventure game, set in medieval England(?). I remember the graphics being very good for the time, colourful and cartoony, almost like 2D painted backgrounds I think. A couple of the scenes in which you explored at the beginning of the game were a blacksmith's, an inn, an alleyway, a huge locked door entrance to a dungeon (which I never managed to go beyond). There was lots of dialogue, and collecting of objects to be used later. Also many of the scenes had half-timbered old buildings in them, it sort of had the feel of UK kid's gameshow 'Knightmare' (the outdoor sections specifically), for those of you that are familiar with that! I also remember that it had quite a substantial review & screenshots in a games magazine I bought at the time, so hopefully it wasn't too obscure (this is all in the UK by the way).

I had it in my head for ages that it was called Baldur's Gate, but it definitely definitely isn't that one - that was later, looks nothing like it, and was far more complex and RPG-like than the one I'm thinking of. However the period in which it was supposed to be set is sort of similar.

Any help would be hugely appreciated!


***EDIT*** Just found it - it was 'Lure of the Temptress'. Siiiiiiick.

I think the first game you're talking about is Word Rescue. The second might be Twisted Metal, but I am not sure.
