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

[Meghan Backus]

I have been looking for this game for quite some time now and this is what it was like.

There was this game that i used to play on the computer when i was like 7 where they globs or monsters would come out of boxes and you had to feed them. and every time you fed them they popped into boxes of the next color and size. the only thing i remember is that the colors were orange, green, and something else...then there were 3 sizes... small, medium, and large and the large one was orange. Some of the items you fed them were like rootbeer and burgers and something else for the small one...i really want to find this game again...so if anyone knows what this game is called let me know.

Okay, made an account for this:

The game I'm looking for is an old game for I think the PS1 but I can't remember exactly. All I remember is this:
The intro of the game (or at least one of the cutscenes) you see some evil dude who has all your best friends tied up. They beg for help and then a giant destroyed robot falls on top of them, crushing them. Your character is a little kid who when running away from robots, finds and pilots a mecha (or Gundam or whatever you want to call it). So its a giant robot game where you can fly around and fight other robots. I remember the first enemies of the game were robots with blades as arms. I've been racking my brain for a while now so i hope one of you guys knows the name! Not even google helped out...

Zone of the Enders, perhaps?

Yes!! Thank you so much!!

Okay, so I'm looking for the name of an older PC game. You pick one of four factions: scientists, marines, or one of two alien races. One of the races wore purple and might've been called the Overlords, but my memory is shaky on that. The other ones were magic. Anyway, you picked your faction and then you had to explore the map, finding resources, building things and doing research to get upgrades. You would lead your troop over the map and battle other factions. Any help on this would be much appreciated.

Hi!
There was a very old pc game where you were some kind of dot or little thing and just moved along the edges of the screen, and you would like "eat" little parts of the screen by moving inside it and then returning to the edge, engulfing some things or bugs that were inside that space, making the screen smaller each time you moved inside it. But you also had to avoid enclosing other things, I think they were little bouncing balls.. it was a really long time ago, around 1993 maybe, so I cant remember much more. You won the level when you made the screen very small and all the balls were inside that small space that was left. I also remember it had something to do with a spider...probably.. Sorry for the vagueness!! But i´d really like to play that game again! Does anyone remember??

If anyone could help me with this one I will be amazed and very much appreciative!
I played this game a looooong time ago when I was very little.

I think it was called something like runner man or running man.
It was quite pixelated.
You would go running around shooting things with your gun.
You could get squished by things.
You could play with 2 players.
I think it was windows 97 or older.
You could also create levels of your own.

It was lots of fun as a 2 player game. Don't remember much else.

Hy good night sorry to disturb, recently I just watched the game VOLGARR the viking and the graphics reminded me of a game, I never played I saw the graphics on a magazine, where I saw the sprites, so I am confused if Volgarr was under development during the 90s and was redesign in this era, or if I saw a different totally different game in the past, I recall a viking with a sword in the sprites, thats all I can remember, not sure if it was a fighting game, maybe someone can help me with that, thanks. Reference volgarr the viking

Hello

i remember there were very high rocks that you were only able to reach by climbing / ladders / (jetpacks ???)

you encountered also reaaalllly huge giants trolls (like 20 times taller than the little tribe) - with a globally orange/yellow skin
those giant where hanging-around that desertic world / from what i remember there was a face of this giant on the game box

i don't know why, i have the feeling the name was something like Kaitos, Kalito, Kalitos, Kubito ... but maybe i'm wrong
and mu memories tricks me.

any idea guys ?

I can't remember for the life of me these 2 games that we used to play on the pc. They were made by the same company and were from the 1990s, one was in the Ocean and it involved I think freeing a whale after completing an adventure journey where you had to solve various puzzles. The other game was in the Amazon Rainforest and it had the same concept- I think you were trying to save ancient trees and one of the puzzles was writing down a bunch of music notes and mimicking them on a set of ancient drums. In the Amazon game at least part of it occurred in a village and I think maybe you had to gather ingredients for a medicine (or maybe that was the goal of the whole game-I loved it, but obviously have memory problems).
Thanks!

EcoQuest 1 and 2?

 

[Bobbie Johnson]

Hi guys, got what I think is a tough one for ya, I have been trying to find this game for years. When I was a kid I had a c64 and one of the first floppy disk games I had was a top down/ 3rd person view space ship game, the main things I remember about it are-

You had to avoid enemies and reach the next level,
You could jump over walls
You could leave a solid wall behind your ship to kill enemies but had to make sure you didn't run into your own wall

It definitely wasn't tron!

Any ideas

Just working off the name - Giants: Citizen Kabuto?

 

[RighteousViking]

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!

Hmm...that sounds like Eversion, but I'm not sure if that game was released in the mid-00s.

Sorry, that's not it :/ It is a Super Mario game! No menu! Thanks anyways

I need help finding not a single game, but a site.
It had a few things on it, all of which are kind of blurry
1) a lightsaber game where you just bash robots by reflecting blasts back at them
2)Some kind of star/space/ship game with I think 4 colored factions
3) a fantasy medieval mix kind of thing where you had to buy units, and queue them in to be spawned and then you control them (I think you control them), and there were moves to, and the point was to capture the enemies flag.
What site was this? It was privately run if I remember right, and I just can't think of it's name.

 

[Makatas Nesakysiu]

I need old game sadly i dont remember much.

ITs rpg or third-person-action game(for me its kinda similar or even same) for pc
its 2005 or older.
game begins that your family, or whole village was murdered by creatures who kinda remmebers orcs.

Not sure about that, but i think its judt posible to play female charakter, posible that charakter customization not existed at all(like in Rune pc game just male charakter)

Loot is kinda rare,not like in skyrim or dragon age where you can find loot anywhere, and lot of junk armor/weapons, in this game i speak about if you find new weapong its very affects whole game.

Inventor works like in MU game.

Also dont sure about this, but shops doenst exists, all posible items, potions etc are findable(or i just not met any trader when i played game)

Most similar game to this i know is Rune, but its not Rune

Hey i would like to know the name of this old game i played. it's a 2D spaceship shooter thingy with trippy background.The spaceship is light blue in colour and you controll it with a mouse. The game logo is a yellow coloured "X" and the menu is like a space station in dark blood red colour. you fight bosses after certain stage and theres bonus stage where u travel so fast there are asteroids coming toward you and you earn bonus by dodging them and touch the bonus thingy.You can gain weapon bonuses in the game and the weapon upgrade will work as "life", means that each time you get hit, you upgrade decreases, until all of your weapon has been destroyed, you dies. I remember theres an enemy spaceship which they come in pairs, they idle for a moment, then they shoot a rail of laser then quickly flew away, theres also a spikeball enemy ship which protect himself from damage and only takes damage when they open their shell for attack. they most basic enemy's weapon is they fire a small yellow orb. And theres a boss which looks like a meatwall at a later level. I remember theres several type weapon for you, 1 is you shoot the most basic projectile which is like a yellow oval shaped needle, a laser wave with rings around the line and could penetrate enemies, and a large ball that could split into small balls that looks like enemy projectiles.

Howdy, I'm looking for the name of an old game I used to play in the late 80's or early 90's.

1) It was an educational game where you would run around and encounter puzzles that would make you complete simple science, physics or math games to get parts (or money?)

2) After completing enough of these you could build a custom racer with your parts and have your racer compete against an AI racer. If your racer won, you went to the next level.

3) I believe in later levels, you were making other machines like planes.

Thanks!
