Alright, this game has been on my mind for the past 20 years. Cannot recall the name of it. All i can remember is it is a platform console game (Like Mario Bros) but you wore a helmet, or visor-like gear, and it changed colors depending on what buff you had. At the end of each level, you would hop on a red floating platform, which went into this hole, and fight some big sized-boss. I couldn't tell you what console this game was on, but it is NOT Blaster Master. I could identify this game through screenshots or video, and, like I said, for the past 20 years, no one has been able to identify it.

Hey everyone, been looking for this for quite a while now, but couldn't even find one clue about it; I'm even starting to doubt its existence.

Anyways, the game was, as I vaguely remember, weird and mysterious. As I remember the main character would walk sideways in his/her village and the whole village was in state of time stop, time freeze kind of thing. And it was gloomy and spooky, and it was so confusing to play the game. At the beginning of the game the town was white and black, but after every quest/mission you unlock a part of the village/area and it becomes colored.

Hope anyone could tell me about it.

Many thanks!

P.S: I think the game was on PS1, not sure though
Bump! I really would like to know the game's title, if that's possible :(. Thanks though!

It was this pc game early 2000s it was mostly math and science. Some of the things it had you do was show you a kid sliding down a slide or whatever and have you say if it was kinetic or potential energy or this other part had you determine what physical properties were being used and to locate it like leverage hammer or incline or whatever and it also had you build and design a cart thing that you raced against this enemy. You picked the motor and such. Hope someone recognize this! It's driving me crazy trying to think of it

Okay this is a weird educational game (I think) from maybe the early 2000's, it was about these four or five kids who are trapped on this island (I think) and the game is this whole quest, they start off having to travel over some weird lava thing, and then you split up and only play one or two characters at a time, I really can't remember much except one of the little mini quests is you are in a tent with this woman and it's been raining, and she shows you an old letter that was ripped up and you have to piece it together, it's vaguely historical or english based but I think other parts of it were supposed to be educational in different ways. I truly don't even know if this is a game that anyone except for my friend owned but I thought I would try.
Sounds to me like it's clue finders 3rd grade!

Doomgriever, thank you very much. It was Gals Panic the game I was looking for.

Now I'm looking for a game I used to play in the late 80's, it is about a very fast monkey that must collect items. Through its way this monkey is constantly finding enemies. In general, this game is very similar to the game "sonic", with the difference that here we have a monkey. And I believe this game existed even before they invented "sonic".

No! The game I have in mind is very different from this one. It is really a monkey and it looks like a monkey (no chance of confusion). I used to play it on a game machine though, not on a computer.

Congo's Caper came out 2 years after Sonic (this is early 90's though..) ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-HQ2KR5U12c&t=4m50s )

( you could also play as this monkey http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-x4RNc1_Tdc4/UOnbLJwYGxI/AAAAAAAAHa8/27i8mj7j4Hk/s1600/congoscaper-4.png )


Then there's ofc the Toki series, but it's not too similar to Sonic imo ( http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/7/73970/1235536-0021.png )

I dont really remember too much about this game, but if I remember correctly:

-You Play as a blond haired boy in the jungle, or a tropical type area
-and it plays like a graphic adventure game, much like a sierra game (like King's quest)

anybody have any ideas of what it is? definitely played it in the 90s...

BINGO!!!! It is Toki game, I said it resembled Sonic, because I had a very vague idea, and because I didn't know what else should I say in order to describe the game style. THANK YOU!!!

ok evryon, now i have been looking for this game a few years now and i just cant seem to find it. i remember allot about it, yet the name alludes me.

here we go
you play as a rather fat dragon walking on it's to feet, it can shoot fire out of it's mouth but it can not do it verry far.
the game takes place in a tower and is a level based game where you have to reach a ladder in the upper corner of the world in order to progress in the game.

now i am not shure about the name of this game but i do remember a large number being in it like 2000,3000 or 7000
as for the year it was made i think it was between 1990 and 2003(kind of a big gap i know)

Thank you in advance

What system did you play this on? Was it 2D?
Did the dragon have wings? Could it fly?

Hello everyone! I am Alexandra from Hungary, Europe. I'm looking for a nice game that I used to play with on c64 in the early 90's. I don't remember the goal of the game, but there were levels in the game with different kind of graphics. I remember that there were hills like hay-stacks built on each other, and when i pushed the Space button, the bear-like animal player could grow like it has a tunnel or a tube belly :D and I can remember a level where there were coloured airplanes and maybe fluffy clouds... Can you guys help me with this girly mystical game?:)))) thank you!!

Hi, i am looking for a very old turn based game . You start with a kid in green outfit with a green cape ( i think it had a hood too ) you have 2 partners i remember only the wizard girl , and u moved ur characters like heroes of might and magic u know that circle that u move ur characters before engaging an attack with a certain enemy , after u got face to face with the enemy it put u into a turn base fight and u started in a room or library and u had to fight those monsters to start the game i really want to play this game this is all the information i have about this game , i remember that u get cought by some knights and you are thrown in a prison where u find a rat that uses a dagger and on the journey a kind of owl warrior joins u and u sail with a boat . I really hope this information may help u find some hints about this game . I used to play it on my pc i don't remember if i used emulator or not sorry .
