Looking for an old game, I think it was called Gnomes. It is kinda rare and I only played demo.
You start on the surface with a few gnomes, but then you can make your gnomes dig tunnels and create little rooms underground. Collect resources, build things like fire. Over time they start to multiply. and as you dig deeper, you meet other gnomes, who will then try to kill your gnomes.

the game was 3D, but the view was from the side, like a platformer.
Could be Diggles: The Myth of Fenris.

Okay, this is my last hope to find this game.. !
I was playing it in year 2000. I god an cd with some sample games on it.

The things I remember about the game:
* The game was a "climb/jump to the top, style" game.

- You were a "green man", with a pistol which shot "pink bullets"
- There where monsters you would have to kill on the way to the top.
- The setting where in a jungle.
- The game started under the ground, (below the jungle?)

Kinda like the game Blackthorne (graphically)

Help! I need to find out what this game is, because it's driving me crazy.

I played it when I was a kid (mid-late '90s) and it was a PC game that involved traveling to different planets where each alien race started with a different letter of the alphabet. I don't even remember what the main point of the game was, but I do remember a sound bite of an alien going, "I'm a Neooon!" I think there was something about puzzles? It was definitely a game geared toward kids. But if anyone could help me figure this out, I'd be so grateful!

Hey guys! I had to register to post this cus jees I've been wondering for too long!

I have two riddles for you.

The first game is seen from above and is 2D. It was for the PC, and I played it in early primary school so my guess is it was for Win95. You play as a gray wellbuilt man/machine who runs around in sort of a maze and shoot enemies who look like yourself. I seem to remember it was really hard to find a weapon, and without it you were pretty much useless. THis is about all I can remember.

The other one is a 2d platformer, seen from the side. You choose levels similar to mario. Standard platformer but I can't remember much. There was an overworld, I am pretty sure. And there was an ice level if I remember correctly where you would slide around. This was also for the PC.

I'm looking for the name of a game that I played in the 1960s as a young child. I think it was called "Bridge." It had a molded white square board. Each player had plastic bridges (as I recall they were red and about an inch long) that fit into square supports. The object of the game was to build a series of little bridges across the board (to the other side) while blocking your opponent who was trying to do the same. Any ideas on the name of the game, who made it, or where I can find one?

I created this account with the hope that someone could finally help me find this game!

Essentially I remember it being a X-com clone, where you are a squad of marines fighting against aliens etc. However this game does not have any real base management, but more of a basic squad load-out screen where you can choose from sniper rifles, machineguns etc.

I played the game roughly ten years ago, so i guess it came out around 2002-2003.

I thought the name of the game was Battle isle (or something similar) but i cant find the game under that name.

The graphic style was quite dark and gritty. The first level starts off with you and 2 other squad members in a warehouse fighting off 'Alien-esque' type creatures.

An especially vivid memory is of trying to kill enemies that can only be damaged from behind - which inevitably results in using one squad member as bait!

Thanks for any help you can give me.

I am very bugged trying to remember the name of a 90s PC game I used to play. It's a 2D side scroller platformer and you control a tough bald guy who can use a lot of weapons (I particularly remember RPGs that can somehow track targets as well as hand grenades). The setting isn't futuristic, it's in the present and it looks realistic. The game included (some) gore, I remember that you can see blood whenever killing enemies, yet the game doesn't look disgusting or anything. It was really fun but I don't think it ever achieve wide-spread popularity.

I hope the description is good and sorry for the bad and lazy English that I have.

Tell me the name of the game and be my hero forever! :p
I Found it! It's called "Eat This". Such a hard name to remember :D

Note: I found this site http://www.mobygames.com/browse/ it's so good for finding old games!

Well, there is a Battle Isle game series. The game you're talking about is probably Incubation, which is a part of that series...

I remember playing a game where you were a boat on rough seas shooting I think planes above. It was a side scrolling game from the early 90's

Okay I think this game was for PS2 or earlier, but you started as a guy who is a stowaway or something on a ship and you find a magical talking sword locked in a basement. Then you get blown out of the ship and land in a snowy village.

The game was an rpg but the fighting style involved you running around an a 2D/3D battlefield using your spells and attacks.

If anyone could help me find this game I'd be grateful.

Hi guys, I really need help with this one. I can't wait to play it, and the name would definitely jog my my memory. It was either a Gamecube game or a PS2 game, not sure. Maybe even an xbox one, but regardless. It was this game where you started out as one animal/creature, and there was a quest you had to do and go around and solve puzzles. However, as you progressed through the game, you gained more creatures that you could morph into and each different creature let you solve different puzzles and get through areas. It was in a sort of Spyro type style, an Action/Adventure genre game, and I THINK when you killed the enemies, they dropped some kind of black or purple crystal as currency. I think some of the different creatures you could change into were like a mole, a bat/bird type thing, and something else. I really can't remember much else. Please guys, anyone know?


IT IS NOT KAMEO

Thanks so much! I checked the battle isle series, but obviously not thoroughly enough! Can't wait to play it again!

This one has been bugging me for years, so any help would be well appreciated! It was a children's point-and-click adventure game from the 1990s, and I only ever had a demo of it. As far as I recall, it was about a boy who was shrunk to the size of a bug and had to solve various...bug-related problems? IDK, I know that there were a lot of bug trivia questions you had to answer in the demo, like about dung beetles and stuff like that. IIRC, he also had some kind rival who said "Uck! Uck! Rotten luck!", but googling that hasn't brought anything up.

The same demo CD also came with a really weird alphabet game demo where, like, to learn about "X," you could x-ray things. I think the company's logo might have had a lamp or lightbulb in it, but I don't remember for sure. Definitely wasn't Pixar, though, lol.

OKAY. So I played a computer game in 1999 - 2000 at my elementary school in which you fight infections like e.coli and you have to do healthy things like biking and swimming mini games which were essentially just button mashing. It was supposed to be educational but that's all I remember about it... Did anyone else play this game or can you tell me what it's called? I've been looking forever and can't seem to find any trace of it...

In my search for these two games I found this forum and joined PLEASE help Its driving me crazy! I will provide as much info as possible. I remember playing both games on my pc when I was 6 so they're from the year 2000 or less

#1 was a run of the mill paddle ball brick busting game, i thought it was mac brick out but after checking it out the levels and powers didn't match the ones i remembered. ok things i remember level 4 had a black back round and the bricks were all multicolored, there were power ups in the form of pills one that shrunk your paddle and one that multiplied the balls, and one that made your ball radioactive or something it turned red and went through bricks instead of bouncing of, like the one in blaster ball but not that game .I never got passed level 11 which might have had a green back round with metallic bricks. that's all i got, maybe it was mac brick out but another version.


#2 was an asteroid busting game for pc , it was sort of 3d level 1 started out with 3 asteroids and a galaga like spaceship you control with the arrow keys. The object of the game was to destroy everything in the level even the smallest asteroid piece. the asteroids would break after you shot them(depending on what level weapon used)once or a few times, the pieces could get as small a bead. The asteroid pieces would float around off screen and come out the other side, the same goes for the spaceship, i remember i used to go in one direction just shooting while the ship picked up speed for fun until i hit an asteroid. you didn't die from colliding into one, i think you had a shield level that lowered every time you got hurt and would eventually go up if you avoided damage long enough. there were other weapons, but the only one i can confirm real was a machine gun like weapon, that you got way into the game. after level i other things would start to appear like aliens that reminded me of manta rays which squiggled around other aliens appeared but i cant remember them. after beating the boss( a giant red thing with eyes you had to shoot i think) the level went to the first stage but had aliens and stuff introduced right away, you also kept whatever weapons accumulated (like the machine gun). I would usually loose shortly after that and the game would start off at 1.


that's everything i know please help me find these games!

Hey all, I found this thread by a coincidence.

Short info:
Engine: 3D
Genre: RTS it seems, but at least base-to-base assault with purchaseable AI units (cant control them) Futuristic enviroment

no idea why, but I think of Cyber something Police when I think of this game.

So my problem is, I need to find a game I used to play back in the late 90s, I believe the game was made between 1990-2002, I played it on Windows 98 (or 95).

The stuff you could do in the game, it could be played by two players, against each other.

Each player controlled a mechanic vehicle of sorts, they had each their base at opposite sides, they could capture resources (I think), to get resources to buy / recruit 3 different units

The three units had AI, and they all followed pathways (very rough I'd say) to the enemy base, destroying everything in their path. Airplanes (or heli's), tanks, and I think the third was a bike of sorts.

They spawned out from factories, which at the time seemed very good. The game engine was in 3D, and it was a few maps only.

Reason I cant remember, it had a very special name, I had it before but lost it. Very big thanks to the ones who know what I am talking about.
