It sounds like a Megaman game (there were a lot of those), but it's probably one of it's clones. (there were a lot of those too). I don't have a title for you, but that might narrow your search. ("megaman clone", "megaman similiar game" etc.)Zepar72 said:
Hello everyone. So there is a game I've tried to find for years now but with no luck so far! I was quite young when I played it (it must've been around 97 or so) and I remember only little fragments. So here is what I (think that I) do remember:
- there were a lot of corridors and elevators
- it was almost as if in a hotel
- there were some game in games like a place where you could play pong
- it had access cards to access rooms or specific floors
- there was no violence involved
- it was mostly an adventure, but with some rpg-elements
- it was kinda futurisitc (I believe)
- it might have had machines where you could buy food
Please help me find that game, it's driving me nuts ;-)

Hello, i am trying to remember a really old DOS game, it was a top-down alien shooter of some kind, after shooting aliens in specific level, you always passed a door(gate) and then fight the Boss alien. I also remembered you could pick up a power up(one of them was a robot companion who shooted aliens).
Ok, I've been desperately searcching for this old game I played maybe 6-8ish years ago?
Alright. So it's an RPG game - you choose your starting character, and then set off on some quest to kill an evil sorceress in a tower (Or was this just a random quest? hmm)? It has 3d graphics, top-down-ish, you can go to towns which is the 2D image-screen with people talking (There were two ladies talking about a pot at one time) Armour and weapon shop, and a tavern/inn where you can meet and recruit new people and take quests (I recruited a ranger and a knight. Both were named and had personalities).
I recall you could loot the corpses. There is also something about a necromancer? And I think I saved a farm village from him once while looking for some wizeman?
Hmm, what else?
Well, there was kind of an age-of-epires-ish map-box where you would uncover the map by exploring.
Hmm, I can also somewhat remember the 'tutorial' - you had to kill a giant or a troll or something. Being a mage I had to not let it hit me. (Sorta diablo-esque combat?)
I can't remember much, but I really want to find it again!
Any suggestions as to what this game could be?? Thank you!
Edit: Never mind! I found it - Rage of Mages II - Necromancer!

Hi, wow this thread sure is long.
The game I remember I played around 7-9 years ago so I assume it was developed during 1990s.
It was a PC game except I'm pretty sure the CD's cover wasn't relevant because it was simply yellow and had what I remember the logo of a red dog. Anyways it uses a 'top-down perspective' and is a racing game involving 'slot cars' that comprise of F1 cars (colours: full red, full black, yellow with a black stripe and white with a red stripe) and racing cars (resembling a sporty sedan I guess in colours: white with some red markings, full black and I honestly can't remember any other colours for the racing cars). The track only has 2 lanes and from memory I think you can alter the view between 'full track' view and 'close-up track'. There is also a pit-stop on each track that exists adjacent to the starting line. And about the rest of the scenery, it usually changes between forest green (with trees), to some muddish looking terrain to some wild rock background - difficult to describe here.
For the gameplay:
Accelerating is as simple as using the arrow keys and pressing up and when turning around corners the car's rear end will slide. If you travel too fast around a corner your car will swerve off the track and a few seconds later the car sprite will return onto the track and be semi-transparent for a very short duration. I think to change lane you just tap left or right. I don't remember if there was even a gauge present on the screen but you need to occasionally drop by the pit-stop to refuel. You can tell when your car needs fuel by the fact that it'll start to wobble more and more. The pit-stop was always the hardest to manage because you need to slow down a lot before you can enter the pit-stop. Even then I sometimes couldn't get in as it requires pressing two keys simultaneously. As for how you progress to new tracks and so forth, I don't particularly remember besides the fact that the yellow-black F1 car could not be played at the start.
Customization:
You can customize your car's...(hmm let me see) engine, wheels, chassis and -one other thing?-. I don't know a great deal about cars but yeah every option would have a large 3D image floating and rotating around. I think the tabs were located either at the top or off to the left side (or maybe even the bottom, who knows it was so long ago?)
And while I hopefully didn't leave out any important details, when looking at rankings (again, some button I don't remember and supposedly part of the gameplay), your opponents will have a full name (that sounds European) like "Dennis Armitage" (that definitely wasn't one in the actual game but I'm trying to improvise here) along with a real-life picture <--- it's a real picture, not a 3D rendered one.
Should anyone know of the game's name or it's existence at all...great! Because I've searched hard enough (utilizing my limited knowledge of cars) to conclude that it's been written off the Internet, or never reached.

Found the game myself, it was Rush Hour (alternative title: Speedster) from 1997. Originally PS 1 but ported to PC.Searchingagame said:
Blue duck? Dynamite DüxGreg Tar said:Hello everyone,
I've been searching for really long time for a game from my childhood. I remeber it was on PC, it was side-scroller, and main character was beefy blue duck with a gun. And it wasn't Earthworm Jim

Alright.I'm afraid I have very little info about this game. when I was a little kid there was this game booklet that had a picture of a animated guy with long hair and holding two guns downward in an x with the title below him. I can't remember the title and I've looked for years for this picture but to no avail... This game image always stood out to me because I didn't own the game but somehow owned a booklet with this image in it lol. to narrow the time gap this was around the early 90's so I don't think it was a snes or sega. Any help would be appreciated
Here is the game i am looking for:
I remember playing it on pc in the mid 90s. It was an fps style game with early 3d graphics where you were on an adventure to save your father (i believe). throughout the game, you gain the ability to transform into 6 different creatures. the ones i can remember are a wolf/werewolf, elf, and a small type of dragon. the various forms you could take were used to get through different situations. An example of this i remember is that you cannot swim in water if you are in the wolf form, you continuously take damage. I also remember there being a weapon that is very similar to the wingsticks in RAGE. the only other thing i can remember is that at the very end there is a celebration that you saved your father, and he puts his hand on your back and its a dragon arm. I have been searching for this randomly for a couple of years now, hopefully this forum will be the thing that gets me an answer
-thanks to anyone who can help

I believe you're talking about Shadowcaster. A game built on a modified Wolfenstein3D engine inbetween the development Wolf3D and Doom. It was published by Raven Software, the guys who later made Heretic and HeXen on the Doom engine.mynameisntkeith said:
I'm looking for an old arcade cabinet. I last played it on a table cabinet circa... 1998?. Could be somewhere around there.
I don't remember much, but here is goes...
2D graghics. You are a little round guy walking around. You can sometimes get into a little balloon thing and fly around. If it pops, then it makes it way harder to navigate obstacles. The world was open-ended, you could take multiple paths to get to different parts of the game. There were warp gates, etc, to skip places. I think you were trying to save a female version of your character. I think you collected fruit or something around the levels for points? There may have been bosses...

There are two games i really remember playing and wish to revisit
1ST: There was a this kid wizard taht goes through a bunch of levels and in each level there are monsters you kill you had a staff you shot fireballs from and it was almost a bullet hell kind of fireball shooting and you'd level up your fire balls to where they spread from 1-2-3-4-5 kind of thing. and i remember one particualr level where you got into a dark room that was full of beholders and it was apparently a dance room kind of thing. another was one of the bossed whre you were under ground and the boss stood in the middle of a big lava surrounded room he was a giant suit of armor with a big sword he had a very distinct battle cry.
2nd: was a space miner game whrer you collected ores frome destroyed astroids then took them back to a central place to sell them you were this green round ship and the physics could bounce you around a little.
Both of them came as freeware on a cd i remember having this was in in 2000s i believe
