PLEASE HELP.

I am looking for a game set in space from the (i think) early-mid or mid 1990's.

The game was comprised of two parts:

- The first part was comprised of choosing/modifying/updating/replacing your spaceship. You updated with credits or something like that you got from the second bit.
- The second part was 3D first person shooter against AI enemy spaceships, set in space, good graphics for the era, pretty much dogfights potentially against multiple spaceships.

In the first bit, you started off with a crappy spaceship, then you chose one of two available roots/paths/teams (one with white spaceships, one with brown). All spaceships had names, i think one of the later white ones was called 'archangel' or something along those lines.

I don't think there were any people or characters personified in at all, all spaceships.

You came up against different enemy spaceship-types as you progressed, all enemy 'groups' had their own names too, one of the really hard enemies were described as having 'one known photograph' which was a blur to make it sound notorious.

You completed a dogfight set in space, then went back to the other bit where you modified your ship or upgraded it and stoof, and then that's how you progressed, little story i think.

thank you for any help.

266 pages of posts. After reading 20+ page I'm not sure the most efficient way to do this.

I loved a game in the Command & Conquer genre that I played on Win95. It had Scarab artillery that could be closed up and take less damage. It had infantry like the terminator. It had freighters that harvested some sort of resource. It had scouts that could be cloaked and looked like a daisy.

It had a series of escalating scenarios that introduced additional units until the final one that was a 3 way contest.

I loved this because there were scenarios that I play through without losing a single unit (but with lots of reloads). Mostly with scouts and artillery. So much fun!

Thanks for help.

You know describing things helped me remember something and then I found it! Dark Reign!

hello all, hopefully i can get a little help here. the game was a pc 2d side scroller from early to mid 90s. you play with a little blonde guy with blue pants and red shirt. you have to jump around some platforms and find different colored keys to progress. i think you have a gun too. you pick up some other stuff also like gems/coins/fruit. it came in the computer when they gave it to me and you launched it by typing something like c:/dos "name of the game" (i feel like it was something with runner or ranger, but it wasnt lode runner). it was a big black floppy disc computer they game for taking a computer class at itt gilfillan if anybody else did the same.

Hello I am trying to find out the name of an old PS2 game my girlfriend is trying to find. Her basic description of the game is that the lead girl character is dressed in a silver suit and throughout the game you can buy others and they do different things maybe. The other suits could be green, blue, red, and etc. Also it is a third person over the shoulder game. She believes combat in it was possibly melee style.

Hello!

I am searching for an old(obscure?) arcade sidscroller. You could control one of four different characters. One that I remember had a white suit and white long hair. There was also a skiing level I think, and there was a bald guy aswell that you could play as. The villain was a skeleton(?) like dude. If it helps I played it at an arcade in either Spain or italy. The game must have been made around 1990-1999.


If anybody could help me I would be so thankful.

I have two games. Both from late 90s I think, around 98-99 perhaps.
First game was a first person ( I think) action adventure/fantasygame. I mostly just played a game mode on it that was like an arena though. It was like two sides divided by lava or water I think, where you would fight enemies. First a skeleton, then 2 skeletons, then an ogre, then a skeleton and an ogre and so on. Or some classes like them.
I think this might have had a decently well-known name, but not sure.

EDIT: After browsing through another old games-list, i found that this must have been Die By The Sword.


The other game was kind of a strategy fantasy adventure game. I partly remember some of the stages in the game.
First stage was a village I think, where you should kill all enemies, might be some kind of undead.
Another stage was where you, and I think this time you controlled a bunch of dwarves among others, should invade a castle.
Another stage was playing through many of the rooms in the castle.
The last stage I can remember, I didnt play the game through, was you with all of your forces standing on the castle grounds in formation, just waiting for the waves of enemies to come.
I think there were some small cutscenes in between stages, but not sure. I'm pretty sure that on some of the stages, if not all, you were controlling dwarves, but I think there were other people too.
Would appreciate any help.

Edit: And after going through all pc games released in 98 and 99 on wikipedia, I found out the second one was Myth 2: Soulblighter.

This is a game from the 90's for Playstation 1. When you first start playing, there's a scene of a scientist in lab, and a purple creature(?) is in a tube. I can't really remember how, but at some point the purple guy escapes (and I think the scientist is either kidnapped or killed). When you start playing, you play as the purple guy, and you are in a town at night, walking around the streets and you can jump on top of cars. I never really got far in the game, but I really would love to figure out what it was.

I remember seeing a Ghostbusters like arcade game in early 90's at Hershey Park and don't remember the title for it. Its not "The Real Ghostbusters".In this game the Ghostbusters would catch the ghosts on the beam, then throw the trap. The trap would open and suck the ghost into it. It was a 2d overhead scroller, and it was awesome. I've looked everywhere in Google to find this game and have not had any luck. All I find is that lame 1987 data east real Ghostbusters arcade and new ones like sanctum slime. Someone suggested that it might have been a Japanese import(by the way its not Meikyuu Hunter G either its a clone of The Real Ghostbusters). Please help.. Thank you

,Hi,
I'm trying to find the name of an old racing game. It's a 2D Nascar style racing game. It was a side view and you raced around an oval style track. The controls were strange for a racing game. On the straits left and right increased your speed. Up and down move you that way on the track. On the corners at each end you had to slow down to a certain speed first and if I remember right it turned your automatically. I think it was a shareware game in the 90's maybe on a PCZONE / PCGAMER cd???
It had Nascar cars, pit stops and you raced for alot of laps / coud choose no. laps. Crashing also spun your can in a pre animated way i believe.
Any one remember this game???

Ok this maybe a hard one. I have been going nuts all day trying to find this game. It was for the mac. I used to watch my uncle play it at my grandmas in the 90s. you were a generic little hero. and you would move around the map with the keys. And the combat pretty much was you bumped your character into the monster. dealing more damage if you were behind the creature. The begining you were in a town and then as soon as you went outside it was like an island and there was like minotaurs or something like that ourside carrying axes or swords. I cant really remember.

I remember playing a game where on the right of the screen you had a plot that was basic, you slowly upgraded it by making it bigger with barracades and archers and cannons, slowly people came on the left side of the screen and througout the game they get cannons and maybe catupults. I used to play it 7 years ago so it may be old, can someone help me out on this one? It was a browser game.

This is for my mom.

Does anyone know the game where you use a ship to go conquer you first continent I guess. You select 1 of 4 flags to start. I believe the colors were red. Yellow. Blue and black. Each with it's own symbol. She believes one had a lion on it the yellow one. And you slowly build up the island by building houses and roads. Clearing trees ect. And your people will start wanting things as your numbers grow like a pub, church, library, school, ect. Each continent gives certain resources and is better for certain harvests. You can be attacked by pirates. And you end up getting to where you have conquered multiple continents. And build ships ect. That's all she remembers. I guess it was played on our old desk top computer from 90- early 2000s. Thanks in advance!
