Hey eveyrone! I am looking for this old arcade game on PC. It was a shooting game. I remember the levels were designed with some sort of Chinese theme, those national dragons and something like that (looked like the movie "Trouble in Little China" with Kurt Russell). So you basically see a HUD (1 or 2 players), the weapons they choose. And a screen where enemies come to. You have a target aim, which you shoot at those players. You encounter boss fights as well. Sometimes a weapons icon gets thrown out to the screen, so if you shoot it, you upgrade your weapon. It is a 90's game, can't remember the time I played it. Anyone ring a bell :) ?

3D Space combat/strategy game, probably about 10 years ago, maybe more, maybe less.

Played the demo and you controlled maybe 3-4 ships, I think one was a larger vessel and a couple of smaller ones. Think it was set in an asteroid field.
Graphics were amazing at the time, with ships using thrusters when they turned around, and ships had proper shields that took damage and then shut down.
Never mind, It's Nexus: The Jupiter Incident, but I played the demo as Imperium Galactica III. :)

Ok probably a bit of an obscure one this since I don't know anyone else who's played it.

So its a 2d top down spaceship RPG from mid possibly late 90's. All i remember about it was there was a long story to it and the ui consisted of 4 blue vertical bars representing engines shields weapons and life support and you could move power between them. You could upgrade your ships systems but the main thing was the quests and the story. You just floated around with your ship pinned to the centre of the screen and did quests for people.
I remember at one point you had to get a hyperdrive and go on a massive journey.

I think i got it free on the front of a PC gamer ^_^

I'm trying to remember a game that was a lot like GTA, but I'm pretty sure it isn't. It was a top-down view crime game for the PC back in the late-ish 90s (97-98), but may have been released beforehand. I remember playing it on PC, where you wandered around a city and had "puzzle-like" elements. I remember it was fairly cartoonish in appearance. The most vivid memory I have of it was when you were robbing what I think was a bank, and you had to avoid security guards that moved in set patterns. The harder banks had more guards and much more complex patterns and passages to try and navigate. You could be caught and lost money. I think there were fighting elements where other criminal would come to attack you. That's about the best description I can give I think.

O/s: PC
Year: 2000-ish
type: sports / future/ robots


Looking for a PC game i used to play a demo of back in the early 2000's. Game must have been made between 1998-2001.
From what the demo had, you picked a team (i think it was either red or blue) composed of about 4 or 5 robot like things that would face off against a similar team in this arena/bowl thing. The graphics were crude... 3D but not detailed at all. I think the ball (football?) was basically a 3D pylon that each team battled for. There were upgrades to be picked up in the arena and obstacles to avoid as well. If you got tackled (or shot?) or ran into one of the obstacles, your player would explode and i think you'd respawn at your endzone. The arena itself was shaped like the inside of a football(NFL) and you could kind of run( or hover, i think everyone hovered) up the sides of it and come down with more momentum to smash an opposing player. There may have been more game types/modes in the full version but as i said i only had the demo. I google image searched every possibility of ' arena, futuristic, robots, football, tackle, etc' to no avail. Help would be really appreciated.
Thanks All

Two games that I am absolutely tearing my hair out to try and remember.

One was a 2D game which in which I believe you played as a robot; I can't remember much about it except that there was a section that played a lot like Lunar Lander

The other one was in 3D and was set in a creepy carnival/circus and had to do with saving children?

I really need help. I have tried to figure this out for years, and I have had no such luck.


The game, I have been trying to remember is quiet old around anywhere from 2000-2005. All I can remember is a monster killing a guy for a crown. I think the guy fell of a platform while trying to run away. I think you have to run from spiders or something like that. Can someone help me, please?

I think it was an alien that killed the guy with the crown. He fell of a ledge or something. Someone please help?

trying to remember a game and its vague. from perhaps 1997 or 98. Win95 platform.

In the game you would control giant 4 legged walking robots that looked just like the ones from star wars, you would battle enemy bases, shoot out the legs and stuff from other giant robots as well as destroy buildings.

It was a slow moving game, would take forever to cross ground, action was fun, could choose a variety of missiles and armor/ different robots

In the background you could see enemies landing in the distance, it looked like a asteroid coming down. it was a desert setting. The view was through a battle screen with armor and missile states around you-

if anyone knows that would be great, as i am going to find a copy and play it something fierce.........

Hello!

I can remember a game which we had on our school computer, back in 2004. I can only remember the start of it. It featured a silver robot of medium height who landed in a UFO on a farm. There was also a red barn in which the UFO was located (or so I think). You could walk around and shoot things (maybe you could do other actions, I can't remember). It was a third-person view (you could see the entire robot walking around). This game also had cartoony graphics. The main menu had a space background. Maybe you also had to solve some sort of puzzles, for example moving a tractor out of the way. I think you also had to shoot aliens, but I can't remember clearly.

Thanks in advance to anyone that helps find this game!

P.S. It was a Mac computer, which also had the game "Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4" on it.


Edit: Okay, I've found it myself. The game is "Ottomatic". It came packaged with the eMac at our school.

I remember a PC top down car battle game I played it sometime before 2005 era I think, but I don't think it was new. All I really remember is that the ground reminded of "Creep" from Starcraft. I'm pretty sure you could upgrade the cars. I don't think there were tracks, it was just an area that you had a deathmatch in. Been haunting me for weeks now.

I NEED to know the name of this game again.

It was an RC-themed game such as revolt but it had a kind-of-wide selection of different cars that you could upgrade and drive with.

I remember the cars having nitro and they were running on battery so after you finished the lap you had to go in some sort of small room to recharge your car's battery and continue on racing, the cars had antennas on them and you were playing with bots or people online.

The cars also had like different color patterns that you could choose from, the bots spawned with different ones too, there was like different type of "classes" for the cars like that was this fast and etc.

I did find the name of it like a year ago but i forgot what it was called. :/

I'd love to have somebody help me out on this.

PC game. Late 80s or early 90s. Sqad based tactics and also vehicle Sim. I believe it was set in world war 3 or after a nuclear.

I used to play a game a long time ago but I can remember the system maybe ps2 or xbox. it's been at least 7 years since i've played it, probably longer. Anyway it's an fps game only you use bow n arrows and there are special power ups for them that you can find around the map. It has a death match mode and I think I remember one of the maps kind of having a mid evil town look to it. Not sure if anyone can help me.
