Hi, for YEARS im trying to remember the name of the game I have played when I was a kid. It was for Windows 3.1 and I think between 1990 and 1995 maybe. It was a game where you could build a circuit with a ball. For example, there was a basketball, a gun, a hámster wheel, and a lot more of stuff, and on your dashboard you could build with allthis ítems a circuit with the ball. If the circuit was ok, the ball came to the last part, otherwhise you could re-arrange all.
anyone?

Sorry I have one more! it's a language learning game my older sister had. Hers was a French version. It had real actors mixed with drawings to create scenarios where you would have to pick the right answer in the bank, hotel, restaurant ect. You were a man. You start at the airport/in the cab.
Hello, I've been trying to find a game for a very long time.
It's a PS1 game from the late 1990s - early 2000s and at the beginning of the game the protagonist fell out of his/her bed due to a dream they had. There was also a graveyard outside of their town inhabited by creatures, but I can't remember what kind. I'm sorry it's not a lot to go on, but any help would be appreciated.
Note: It's not an LOZ game

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!

santisergio, it is not ground control, but that looks like a really cool game! and thank you for a cool suggestion.
In this particular RTS that I can't rememember, the game the graphics aren't as good, it might be 2003 or even earlier. the one i'm thinking of, it's just like these large planes that do para-dops constantly. the game is pretty hard. you have to get a jeep and armored vehicles and then do a raid on eight aripots to take over the map. Any ideas? The notable part is the breifing , the landing strips, the commandos and the jeeps and armored tank like vehicles. You pick your team color, and that's what color everything is, the cargo plane, could be all pink or all yellow. Alas, I don't think i'll ever find this game.. I remember ordering supplies and they drop a box, and also you pay $$$ for everything. You also have to put guys in the vehicles.

Hey guys
I'm actually looking for more games. Shockwave on PC years ago like 5-7 years ago.
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.
(in a lab where a monster escaped and you use light to banish him, it attacked the doctors and you take items from them and so on; on a mountain where you climb it, ride a snowmobil and avoid rocks and enemies...)
I remember the logo of the firm being a yellow S in a triangle colored dark but I could be wrong.

Hi everyone!
I´m looking for a really old game for the PC, that seems to have fallen off the internet:
It´s definitely pre -95. The graphics are clunky, blocky first gen 3d, á la cutscenes for the snes game "Out of this world".
http://www.gamefaqs.com/snes/588548-out-of-this-world/images/screen-22
The gameplay is a 3rd person action/adventure game, and as I recall it, is placed in space on a space station of sorts. Many elements were enviromental puzzle like dodging a drawbridge of floating, bouncing mines, and activating minecarts. There were also some shooting elements such as dodging turrets, and shooting green, blobby alien life forms. Thats pretty much all I remember, and I can´t find any trace of it neither on gog.com or any abandoware sites.
Please help me in my quest for nostalgia

Hello,
I'm trying to find a PS1 game.
The one I have was in Japanese, so this is the description:
1. It have multiple characters,
2. Each character have different monsters to summon (animal type, robot type, etc)
3. The battle is 1vs 1(summoner) and it will end when either one of them die.
4. The battle gameplay - human(summoner) cannot attack other human(summoner), but they summon their monsters (a lot) to fight for them.
5. Third person view
6. Once a monster dies, it left a mark on the ground,which the summoners can take/steal the monster.
I can't exactly say what the genre is. The closest game i can compare with would be Chaos Legion, as the character can move to run/evade enemy's attack (not tactic or turn-base) and command summoned monster (attack, follow, etc.).

Dark Colony maybe? It also had one race that consisted only of organic units with living ressource collectors and stuff and one standard-issue human race that relied on tanks etc.. But the tiled map and the control points do not really fit with that.jokercandy said:
I have one game I can't remember the name of. It probably was on a demo/shareware collection called "Monkey Games" but none of the games listed on that CD ring any bells for me. I'm not sure if it was made for DOS or Win 3.11 but it was probably not based on anything newer than that. The graphics were similar to "I have no mouth and I must scream" or other games of that era. Pretty dark/greyish too. It was a point and click adventure where you started at a broken bridge spanning over what seemed like empty space. The whole place didn't seem to be on a planet but freely floating in space. The city was on some kind of flying rock too I think. On the other side of the chasm there was a futuristic city that you couldn't reach. You had your typical interface with pick up, talk with, use etc. buttons. When you jumped from the bridge you landed on a planet/moon of some sort where you could walk around on the surface and after 4 screens or so would come back to the point where you started. You found 1 or 2 items on the surface but I never got past that. One was some kind of cable I think?
Thanks in advance!
Hi,
so here are my two games I've been looking for for the past XYZ years.
First one is really old. I mean, I was about 8? 9? It's a PC game, has the word "Arena" in it. I've only played the demo, never had full version. Basically it contained many bots you could choose from, the goal was always to destory another bunch of bots. How original. The biggest clue for this one is the word Arena in the title.
Second game is not as old, I'd say 2000ish. It was similar to quake 3 arena with one difference. Instead of running on the ground you were flying on all sorts of weird objects. Dragons, carpets, anything. Anyone?
And thanks to whoever can help me!
Kind regards
Heikeke

I remember very little about this game, but I remember that you are supposed to place out figures to defend a castle which is owned by a wizard I think? It's sort of a point-and-click game. The game is drawn like a cartoon with a medieval feel to it and I'm pretty sure André Franquin did the drawings, if not it looks very similar.
Does anyone know which game I am talking about?

I?m looking for a game I can?t remember much about anymore unfortunately.
I definitely played it on an arcade machine in the 90s (not sure if a console version existed). It was a side-scrolling platformer. There were three power ups you could get (at least I think it was three), I think one was a fire power up, I don?t remember the second power up at all, and the third power up was these three purple ball/circle/orb things that move around you (like Strider Hiryu?s Ouroboros).
Any help would be great!

Hey y'all,
I'm looking for two old games!
1) Commodore 64. I know I was playing it around 1992, but it's definitely older than that. There was a house that you could furnish and move objects around. It was open to the screen, like a doll house. The whole background was blue (darker than the blue-screen-of-death blue), with the outlines of the objects being a pale blue, maybe white. There may have been a marketplace to leave the house scene and go shopping. I don't remember the object of the game or if there were playable characters. There may have been an old Granny involved, like it was her house.
2) DOS based, Win 95/98. It was an adventure game, single player, third person, single-plane scrolling depending on which direction you went. The graphics were more than basic but still pixelated, with the character being smaller than the area around, kinda short and squat. You had a party of maybe 5 characters, different classes like warrior and sorcerer, male and female, who walked in line and you could change the order. To attack/use you hold down the space bar, movement is the Left, Right & Up(jump, which the whole party jumped in tandem) keys. So each level/zone, you had to find your way through the level, dodging obstacles, fighting monsters, finding treasures and hidden switches to open/activate other things, killing the boss at the end. There might have been an inventory and a village you could visit when leaving the level? I've got the name Sorcerer stuck in my head but I don't think that's it, but I do want to say it's one word starting with "S." I would have been playing in the early-mid '90s.
I appreciate the help!

Hey guys!
I'm looking for an old PC game (usually found in that CD w/ 15~20 demo games).
The game is like this: Is a 3D game that you have a Floating Piece of Land (Usually flat i think). You can put in structures in that piece (With consumes hexagon slots) like Walls, Catapults, Propulsion Engines to make you floating island moves, etc.
The objetive is to destroy others floating islands.
Anyone remember the name? It's kinda old game.
Thanks!
