I remember playing a RPG thirdperson type game where you could summon skeletons, and other creatures. I think I have played the demo version, so I remember starting in the middle of woods and after walking a bit you could find a castle where a guardian couldn't let you pass so you have to enter throught the sewers where you could find (giants) rats and chests for loot.

This game is old but not too old, maybe 2000-2008 ? Idk. Pls Who ever knows tell me.

Thank you !
That's not many clues, but the "Dungeon Lords" game starts this way - out in the woods, near a locked city gate. The sewer was probably involved as well.

I have been searching forever for this old pc game. I am pretty sure I got a demo of it off of a PC GAMER magazine demo disk. It was like a 3rd person isometric view and you played a mage/wizard that walked around a map and fought other wizards. You could summon creatures and cast spell and there were items you could pick up to help you. There were like nodes that you could use to power up with. I can't remember much else but I remember it was really fun and would like to find it. There was also fog of war on the map as well
"Magic & Mayhem" by any chance?

Hey guys!

I'm lookig for two games.

The first one was DOS game, can't remember much about it except that it was about some weird guy (mybe with a Dr. in the title?) who had a mansion and a dog and you would wandered the house and the floors looking for some sort of minigames and specially one about painting. I remember a rocket and lots or purple in the mansion. Not much I know :S
Is it one of the Dr Brain games? Maybe Castle of Dr Brain?
Nope, not quite. But similar.

Hey everyone,

I'm looking for a PC game that had 3 factions based on a tiled map. You battled to take control of control points with a group of units you commanded with other people who had their own units and the units were very starcraft-esque. For example, on faction had tanks, artillery etc and another faction MAY have been zerg-like but I'm not entirely sure...

It was quite futuristic and sci-fi but had poor graphics but great gameplay.

If anyone could help, that would be great THANK YOU!

Hey everyone! I stumbled across this thread/forum searching for this old PC game. Alright, so it was a puzzle game where you had to reconstruct pictures and when you completed it, the pictures would play like a short clip. I was really young so I only remember a couple puzzles. One puzzle was firemen holding water hoses and when you completed it, they would spray each other. Another was a rhino puzzle, when it was completed the rhinos would sing. Last one I remember was a little girl in a car made of sand on a beach, when completed she would say, "Look, it's a Mersandyz Benz." and drive away. Lol I know this game sounds stupid, but I remember being addicted to this game when I was around 6 or 7. I've looked everywhere and it seems this game has disappeared off the face of the earth. I'll happily pay a reward to whoever can tell me what game it is. ;)

Thanks

Here's one that has been on my mind for some time

-Late 1990's
-PC, 3D
-you controlled a futuristic vehicle (maybe hovercraft) that could shoot missiles
-Initially, your vehicle would lose health if you spent too much time on the water
-Point of the game (as I recall) was to collect 3 diamonds from different points in the map (they were always random) and kill bees and destroy their beehives (which could drop one of the diamonds).
-Once you had the three diamonds, your vehicle would be able to float over the water and reach a destination tower
It's a long shot, but...Beyond Good and Evil?

Hey guys just joined this group because I have been up all freaking night trying to think of the name of this game ...ok so here it goes.... It's a cartoon plane game ... had to be released early 90's ...I am pretty sure you were this old guy flying this plane ... it was basically a side scroller the screen would move left to right and you had to bomb enemy convoy on the ground below you ...I want to say they might have been Nazi's ??? it was really fun and addicting and I would like to know the name of it so I can play it once again ... :)

EDIT : Thank you Coldie for finding the name of the game, "Discworld Noir"

Hi everyone, I have this game I remember from my childhood/early teens but impossible to find it with google.

Around the 90's, max early 2000's, PC game. It is a pretty dark game and it's raining pretty much all the time, the character has a long coat, and is leading an investigation of sorts (I don't remember if it is criminal or not).

The graphisms were realistic, not cartoonish, 3D with fixed camera (only the character moving around within the screen).

You progress in the game by finding clues. The game mainly uses the mouse (click to change zones or find items to progress).
The game is in the 3rd person point of view, the camera fixed while the character moves around in the area.

The intro cinematic is probably what will give this game away, you are in first person view of someone being chased / running, after a while "you" get cornered and stabbed? not sure about this, and when going down you get out of 1st person and see your face, and it is the face of the character you play during the game.
My memory about this is fuzzy, but it was a big mindblow right away as you basically began the game thinking getting closer to the end was meaning your death. I never finished the game so I don't know if this intro cinematic comes true.

It would mean a lot if someone could find the name of the game, with Baldur's Gate this is one of the first game I played I think.

Hey community :D
I'm actually looking for more games. Shockwave on PC years ago like 7-10 years ago.
The company's name starts with an S I forgot the rest. It's like miniclip games.. I'll just describe one and see if anyone remembers those.

You are a woman on a ship that has been attacked by indians or w/e island inhabitants. The captain of the ship is dead the doctor has been poisoned by one of the arrows and a drunk guy is somewhere in the back of the ship. You start by getting a rope and a wooden board to use as a shield from arrows as you pass from the front of the ship to the other side of it. You will need to get something from the captain (can't remember what) you'll make an antidote with the bottle the drunk man has and something else you get from somewhere on the ship. The goal is to get you and the doctor out of the ship using a boat but the machine that lowers the boat in the water is broken so you also have to fix that...

And they had more games alike. All this kind of puzzle/escape games. Ones that test your brain so to speak.. And can't actually find any of them for years.

I remember the logo of the firm being a yellow S in a triangle colored dark but I could be wrong.

If anyone knows about them reply please.

I remember this game where you play as a yellow colored oval egg like person it was a partial sandbox game and you could make levels and add things like ground and water to them, I don't remember what the actual point of the game was. It came on this disk with a bunch of other games, It was definitely 2d with a 3d theme and it was fun. If anyone has any ides what its called pleas let me know, Thanks!

Hello.

Ok this one's a really long shot. I used to have a Siemens flip phone - it might have been a CF62T or may even have been a little older...

Anyway there was this one puzzle kind of game on there where you were playing as some sort of jungle dude who had to escape from a monster by going from one side of the screen to an 'exit' on the other side. The level was made up of lots of squares that you could move across, with stones and trees in the way. You and the monster took turns to move, and as I remember you could move 2 squares but the monster could only move one - or something along those lines.

Anybody have any idea what game this could be?

Thanks!

I need some help as well! There's an old PC game I recall playing years and years ago when I was a kid; it must've been like a Windows 95-era game, pretty sure it came on a cd-rom. I recall that it was kind of violent/bloody like Doom, but it was more or less an action platformer, with shooting elements too I believe. Think it took place on some future Earth where something or other that wasn't human had taken over and constructed some sort of guantlet or arena (which you which through in the game) populated with a lot of bad things.

But the real core of the game was that there was a normal human character and also a beast/demon character in this gauntlet, and I guess they were supposed to fight each other for the entertainment of the evil overlords or such. But what was cool was that you could play as either the human or the demon beast, and they played significantly differently. Both had the same goal though: to escape the gauntlet and get away.

I believe the game made use of pre-rendered backgrounds as well. I just recall it looking pretty dingy, gory and cool. I thought the game was called Run Like Hell at first, but that doesn't seem to be it. (That IS a game, but it's one for consoles and entirely different.) Might have one of those words in its title though, all the same.

Any ideas, thread? I appreciate any help in advance!

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.

There was a computer game in the early 1990's that my brothers and I used to fight over playing. They said its called Rocks. Simple, I know, but i can't find it anywhere on google, not even just pictures of it!

Its a black screen, with different colored boulders/rocks/asteroids flying at the screen. No space ships or anything. Just rocks flying at the screen. You either have to use the mouse or the arrows and the space bar to "blow up" the rock things. It came standard on the computer, we didn't buy it or anything. Ugh I'm dying!

It seems pretty logical that it would be called Rocks... but it is NO WHERE to be found. My brothers even had slip-on shows that had the rock things on them (I had to have pink and white checkers because I'm the girl... still bitter about that)...

Any help?!?!!? And thank you!

hi thanks in advance, I'm trying to remember the name of a pc game ,, its a cinematic interactive movie type game, it came oljfut in the 90's on CD. very similar to Mad Dog McCree. and the Amverican Laser game titles, but it wasn't put on by them. its a first person shooter and I remember a lot of it taking place in the buildings outside the warehouse on catwalkS some platforms. remember lots of guys in leather jackets, with guns you have to shoot em. some reason I remember green and black being a lot of the color of the covers . once again at the first person shooter featuring cinematic footage as your targets. I think at some point the enemy's were in helicopters once again this is around the warehouse industrial setting.. I'm fairly sure between 1995 and 2000., f it took place in a factory industrial setting, there were enemies with full length raincoat length leather jackets cinematic first person shooter thank you

Hey!

PC game: Third person , game was 3D, but old, about 10 years old by its graphics (I played it 7-8 years ago). You had to control a hero, which was fighting like a samurai, with a sword, I think. You had to go through levels, kill enemies (they were with swords too as far as I remember). Later strange gorillas with yellow and red eyes (I perfectly remember I weren't able to kill those without using a special combo). There were boss monsters too. It was possible to do fighting combinations in that game. What I remember else, there probably were 8 levels. When you complete them, you have to go from level 8 and back all the levels you completed before till you get to the first one (you just had to go back where you came from). Enemies, which you killed before, revived and they were like zombies and skeletons, which you had to kill too. There was a statue in first level, which requied a special weapon to destroy. Then you get to dungeons, where the final boss is (I think it was a dragon with 3 heads, each got different color and abilities (fire, poison and ice as far as I remember). There you complete the game. I remember that I had a fighting challenge after completion of every level. When you complete challenge, you get a scarf increasing your maximum HP. And the last thing I remember is that you could collect tokens with dragon markings on them but I don't remember what they were used for..

P.S. I'm not 100% sure if those tokens or bosses were exactly dragons. They could be snakes or something else

Please help me to remember that game!
Anyone? :(
