Cant get this game out of my head.

Game is a 2d side-scroller/platformer. 85% sure it was on PS1... Very cartoony.

You play as a macho guy in space and shoot alien things with a blue lazer gun. The gun can push and pull objects. I only remember the first level so i cant tell you more.

Pleeeease help lol

Hey!

There was a game I used to play in the mid 90s, but I can't remember the name of it and I'd love to play it again.

It was a basic strategy game where you picked one of 3 alien races (amazons, blue men or bug creatures) and you were dropped onto a planet and had to build a civilization before one of the other aliens wiped you out.

i THINK it was just called "Aliens" but I can't find it anywhere so I'm probably wrong.

Any ideas? Thank you

Hey everyone, I need help finding out the name to this old computer game I used to play that I believe was in the late 90s to early 2000s.

Basically you helped guide this race of little blue people that you could design almost anyway you wanted, you could make them male or female, change their hair, hair color, nose color, or even give them glasses. Anyways, their home was destroyed or something and they embarked on a quest for a village that you had to guide them to. To get to the village you had to play a bunch of puzzle games that required you to get your villagers across, and if they died, you would lose them for good. The goal was to try to get as many of them to the village as possible so they can live in their new home.

I remember some of the levels, if that helps. One of the first ones was this bridge Puzzle where there were three stone faces that all had bridges that your villagers could cross. The bridges has allergies, though, and depending on how your little character looked depended on if they would get across a certain bridge successfully. If the bridge wasn't allergic they would pass, if they were they would sneeze them off the side of the cliff.

Another level was a level where you had to make pizza for these gargoyle monster things, and you had to make a pizza with specific toppings depending on what that monster wanted on his pizza. If you gave them the wrong one they'd like throw your little guys far away or something, I really don't remember.

There was also a puzzle about them riding on frogs to cross a giant river and something about the patterns on the frogs backs, and another level about a bridge crossing a chasm, and depending on if they could hover or walk, or what they looked like (similar to the other bridge puzzle) determined if they could cross.

I hope this helps, and if you can remember the name, thank you so much.

I THINK "Village" was somewhere in the title, but I honestly can't remember.

Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone can help me out with this game.
I used to play it back in the mid-late 80s in the video arcade.

You control a dinosaur/godzilla-like character which comes out from the ocean.
The game scrolls up and if I'm not mistaken, you can shoot lasers and breathe fire as you destroy buildings and vehicles.
I think along the way you can also collect eggs (might be a power up?)

Any help would be appreciated thanks so much.

Okay so there was this game for PC, it was set in Ancient Egypt, inside tombs/pyramids all the time. Third-person, 2-d (3d graphics) puzzle solving, you could remove blocks of sand and had to solve a puzzle on each level.
You had to watch out for (zombies) and spiders. I think you had a staff with you but I'm not sure. I remember the .exe file named "Pharaoh" but I searched for Pharaoh everywhere and I can't find it. Anyone else played it???????
I think I posted about this and it jogged my mind.

It sounds like it could be one of the Rampage games.

Hi guys,

I'm searching for a game which I played lately, on october-november 2011. I almost sure that Its name is Amnesia (not The dark descent). It's about a girl who can't remember anything because a crash accident. The main goal is to find photos that she took in some places and try to re-construct her memory. You have to find, also, some figures (which you have to tracing with the mouse) to open drains or pull curtains. When you finished a level (they're only 4) she can remember something and a video is playing where she talk with her doctor.
Plus: she can't see people, she only can see a kind of shadows, like when a photo is taken with movement. I played it on a Mac so I think is a game for computer, only.

Please. Help me

Hi,
I used to play this game on a mac in the 90's but I don't remember what it was called.
You were a bug, a butterfly I think, and you had to go around the screen to get these green leaves so that they would fall to the bottom of the screen and you would feed your baby caterpillar.
There were these "bad guys" bug, I think they were spiders maybe, that would come and try to eat your baby if you didn't defend it.
Anyone remember the name of this game?

Thanks!

Hey

I am looking for a game I played some years ago on PC. It was a military game. And you had a village you were gonna build up, with gold mines, barracks to produce people (soldiers) and other buildings like that, just like in a village. When you were ready, you could attack an enemy village with your soldiers. You could steal their gold and destroy his houses.
I dont remember what the name of this game is, but i think it is an old rts game. I guess you can compare it to "clash of clasns" but just on Pc, and much older.

I am very happy for any replies. Thanks!

Hey im new and i need some help to find a game , been searching for a while and this is the closest i got to finding it, its a "mining game" and its multiplayer i was so young so i dont remember much except we could buy TNT or something and we would blow up the whole map ive found many other games, vga mining was the one that looked most like it, prob. around that time then. We would play it on the same computer. Not so helpful but if i dont find it maybe some of you would? just the fact that it is multiplayer and that old is something, by the way im not sure if it was mining for gold or just a "sandbox" game .. in fact i have no idea if there was any goal, maybe kill each other? haha :)

Sorry about the vagueness, I played an old game in my daycare, it was similar to Chip's Challenge. It had better graphics, but the idea was like a top-down platformer just the same. It was faster paced, puzzle, but you had to be quick. For some reason I associate chickens with it. The player was a simple red circle and there were varying obstacles. The background was space themed. I believe it was on W98.

Another game, I was being babysat by my neighbors and their dad was playing it. t was Isometric (as far as I remember) and was similar to the Celtic Kings series in terms of your character being a leader and having followers as well as graphics. The only part I remember was (probably) during a single player campaign, he was releasing something from a cage. This one isn't quite so important.

OK, I've been wondering about this for years.

It is a Super Mario game, without a menu, and without music. You just spawn in a green world and you continue doing the levels until you reach the final castle. After that, the game continues at the first level again, but the world seems to get more and more corrupted (I really don't remember what happened after completing the game once) and it continues on and on and on.

I remember playing this game in 1st grade at school, in 2004-2005. I've been wondering what game this was for years, it'd be cool to play it again. I also remember that my aunt had it on her old PC back in the day... I'm really wondering what it was named. Please help! Thanks!

Hey all. I'm looking for a pc game from around 1995, possibly '94 or '96.

It is a sort of isometric, semi-3D top down view adventure game set in a dystopian future. I vaguely recall starting off in a prison where your character explains that he was arrested for the dreams he had.

I recall the main weapon was actually a yellow ball that you'd hurl at targets and it bounced around.

I wish I could remember more. Thanks a million in advance!

Looking for an old ps1 game its a sidescrolling action game. You can play as either a boy or girl. In the game you fight robots with alot of different guns while running through maps like a battlefield, jungle, desert and a huge tunnel. One of the bosses is a huge tank/train. It would really be awsome if anyone could help me out :)
