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

[Mothhive]

Found this thread a few months ago. I've never been so desperate to find a game, so, here am i.

lets begin:

-It's a race game, i think it's more a rally game? not sure.
-It's from the 90's, i remember i play it in DOS.
-I remember a blue car, there was a track where it was snowing.
-the view was from behind the car, maybe you can switch cameras, not sure.
-And the thing why im here is that the game have an interesting music, like acid electronic music.

Hope u guys can help me.

I am very desperate with the search of a game.
1. the genre i think it is : medieval/fantasy
2. i played this game on the PC, windows XP.
3. It was in the year 2000-2005, in the time of cs 1.6
4. The name i remember is B.A.M or B.A.M.S.E
5. the vision is the same as heroes 3 ( the vision from above ).
6. The unit that i remember is and stone giant ( the same model as tiny in dota, but smaller )
7. another thing that i remember is that 4 units ( workers ) could join to form some kind of a building ( a base ).
8. In the first level i could destroy buildings and get some equipments. In the middle of the map i remember that i had some archers to defend, the part of the building destruction happens on the lower of the map.
9. The distinctive feature would be that in the second level after some time the game would crash. Every time after an step the game crashes.
10. I think that some dragons spawns in the level 2.
The graphics weren't too great.
Help me to find the title of the game

I'm curious if anyone knows this game that I remember playing a long time ago.

Key characteristics that I remember:
* First: here is what I think it kind of looked like: http://imgur.com/ccBntJj Obviously my drawing isn't quite as good in terms of neatness/colors. But it gives a basic picture.

* 2d space/arcade game

* You play as a little colored triangle, looks sort of like this: http://imgur.com/zXqThVu

This?

The premise is the same, but that's not the right game. Biggest difference is that game doesn't have worms-style destructible terrain.

If you can figure out what game this is you're a god.
I played this game when I was about 7 years old. So, it was around 1997 or 1998. It's a PC game and it was a 3d side view platformer. There was no character development that I can recall. You just played the game and made your way through the levels. The object of the game, if I remember correctly, was to make it to the top of each level, and you did so by jumping on trampolines. The trampolines were the main way of getting through the levels and each consecutive jump made the character go higher and higher. The character you played as was able to jump pretty good and made use of the "double jump." The levels were populated by enemies. They were really weird creatures that I've never seen in any other game. I think you had to jump on top of your enemies to kill them. This is all I remember about the game because it's been so long. Also when the character jumped it sounded like someone was strumming a stretched rubber band.
I just asked my dad about it because he was the one that bought it for me and installed it. He said it was part of a game pack. Almost like an indie bundle. So it may be impossible to locate now.

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??

That's one of the many Qix clones. ( http://www.giantbomb.com/qix/3030-6136/images/ )

I am looking for a 90s game that was basically a Diablo ripoff. A top down hacknslash with inventory/potions/all the Diablo elements. I remember it having a sequel and a quite long title. It's middle-to-late 90s and it's a little lighter in tone. You could get purple armor if you were high enough level. were multiple merchants in the towns too.

Hi, I am looking for an old logic game. There was a wall in the jungle and a machine, which throws balls of clay to the wall. But you can color the clay by 1 of (4)5 colors and make 1 of 4(5)signs (tringle, square,..) to the ball. This action will affect the place where the ball hit the wall. There are signs (crosses?) on the wall, that you must hit, so you have to find out a system,how color and sign on the ball affect the place of landing.
Thank for any idea.

Please please help, I'm looking for a game which I think we got free when buying our computer it was late 90's early 2000's, I remember it starting off in a fishing village, and in the village were speakers with like a dictator speaking through them, the aim of the game was to stop the Voice coming through the speakers, I can remember u having to do different quests to get there, and you had a little friend think it was a little dragon in a disc, I remember one quest was being in hell you had to dial a code on a phone to get across, each quest u had to find objects to get over to the next quest, I remember the voice of the helper, he sounded like nemo's dad from finding nemo sounds silly but everytime I hear the voice it reminds me of the game, hope someone can help, if I remember anything else about it I will put it up, thanks again

[First Encounter Assault Recon]

I'll give it another shot, hope someone already knows dammit.


I remember it was a gameplay trailer, or more it felt like a technological demo, showing off an engine without any HUD (ammo, health etc). I think I saw it between years 2006-2007. It was a First Person Shooter set in some sandy town which felt like Egypt, Turkey or Iraq, the place where it was happening looked like this - http://bit.ly/1btublC ... you know this kind of a building structure, I also remember that there was a little sandstorm going through that place, enemies were all over the place - on roofs, on balconies, in alleys, enemies were also wearing this on head - http://bit.ly/1d1D1xO ... person which you controlled could lean over objects, was holding and shooting from a weapon which looked like FN-FAL - http://bit.ly/1cvMngh or HK21 - http://bit.ly/1hL3YaZ ... at least I think, and in a background was playing some kind of an orchestral Arabian/Turkish felt-like music. I don't even know if that game was released or cancelled, or if it was just some kind of a technological demo, and I also don't know for what platforms it was made for. Can't remember more.

Hello, I used to play this game as a kid on the Sega...I think it was Genesis (Mid ninties)...In game you played as an undead guy with 2 swords, and torn up gear, skin was gray, the hubworld had a black background...it was a side scrolling gothic game, one of the levels I remember was a swamp, you could do a spinning move in the air by jumping and attacking..anyone know it? I also think the title screen was a closeup of the main character (But I could be wrong). You could choose which way to attack by pressing up+attack, down+attack etc

Hi there's this game I used to play on my pc in early 2000s I downloaded it for free off the internet. It starts out with the earth being created and a tribe of cavepeople then you have to build homes and jobs for them an army and the tribe progresses over time and you can cause these disasters to happen to them to see how they adapt like volcanoes earthquakes famine or kill them off and start over sometimes they kill themselves by their own technology the whole time playing like your God watching with an over head view them living on the earth

sounds like sim city 2000 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjiwVFG4Am4

There was a puzzle exactly like that in The Logical Journey of the Zoombinis.

You're thinking of Zork: Grand Inquisitor. Brilliant game, that one!

Don't have time to read through the whole thread but hopefully it has been posted before although undoubtedly. It may be a vague description but i'll try to be as helpful as possible. It was this game with loads of different characters and they alln had there own car, and there where different levels and I think in each level you used to have to play as one character and defeat all the other characters with your car, and you could get certain special abilities for each car/character the game was on PS2 and I remember one character which had a brown box shaped car I think and its special ability weapon was like a hoover which shredded stuff up when it sucked it in. Thats all I can remember any help would be much appreciated.

On the PS2? The first thing that comes to mind is Twisted Metal: Black.
