Hi, guys !

I have played a game about a baby angel (looked like a cupid) has ability that could taking body and control any form of living things like human, alien or animal in the game. Guide the angel to many places, solve the puzzle to open door or get to new place. I don't remember much about the game's name. it's "Angel" or "fallen angel" or something that i m not so sure.
The game starts with an angel being punishing (or order giving) by God. He pushed the little angel to the ground (from Heaven to Earth), tell him to get to a devil thing (Satan or some kind of monster (a big fat and ugly monster)) to kill him. And get back. I remember at the first point, i fell right on a soldier, suddenly taking his body, then God says something that i can't remember, then i get to the door on a bridge, and open to access. I am a Vietnamese, i was too young to understand the whole story, now i can use English well, so i want to get back to my old memories, to reminding, to playing.

I searched it on the internet, but found nothing. The game released about 8 or 9 years ago (sorry again my bad memories).

I am new here, nice to meet you guys and happy new year !
(ooops, was already answered)

I've been looking for this game for a long time and it gets harder to describe ever day here it goes:you played as a black spot that has four legs and you moved those legs by click and drag and you had to get the eggs and your legs could stick to the walls and you could make webs with the legs it's a side scroller.

Hi, I'm looking for a game that was released back in the 90's, I don't remember if it was for windows or DOS, but I think I got it on a CD, so probably windows 95-98. It was a sci-fi tactics game where you had to control only 2 or 3 guys, very similar to X-COM, I think it had 3D pre-rendered sprites, I only recall that they were either robots/cyborgs or humans with heavy armors and helmets, the size of the units were big, unlike the small marines on Starcraft, more like X-COM. Also, I remember an isometric view, but I'm not sure if I'm mixing things :S.

Thanks for your help.

Was it a WH40k game? Like Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate ( http://www.mobygames.com/images/shots/l/23054-warhammer-40-000-chaos-gate-windows-screenshot-starting-at.gif )

There is a game I have been trying to think of. This might be a hard one as I only have some sketchy details.

This would be late 80s early 90s PC game. It is fantasy based, single player RPG game. Good graphics for the time. A 3d world environment. You were basically a knight walking around exploring the world, fighting undead and other typical monsters. I remember the graphics were about as good as the game Myst.

I think the title was something similiar to Drakken or along those lines. No, its not Drakkhen for the SNES. Your main quest was to find (or fight) a Dragon.

Oh, one major thing. The game was buggy as hell. It would keep crashing at this one certain spot and you could never progress. I think a patch came out for it to fix the crashing, but I never got around to installing it.

Sounds like Drakan, but that one is from 1999.

Couple playstation 1 games I forgot about.
1 is where you are a guy in an orange jumpsuit and you go around killing animals like a caveman with fists clubs etc and eventually you go through time to the future where you can pick up guns etc. So you basically have the street fighter 2d view.
- Time Commando

Second game is a bit like Pokémon, you are a kid who goes around with a flute type thing capturing or battling monsters, through portals and stuff. There was some storyline behind it.
- Jade Cocoon thanks.

I was Googling for this game, couldn't find it but came across this thread so I thought I'd try to ask.

1. Game is likely early 90s.
2. My guess is that my dad had it on his Win 3.1 computer, but it's been awhile. Definitely a computer game, not a console. I remember he had to run the game from the command line.
3. So the game had many levels. The intent was to push blocks (boxes?) through maze-like puzzles into a specifically marked zone, one move at a time. You could walk around the maze to push boxes from different directions. You would lose if you pushed a box into a corner because you had no way of getting it out. You'd also lose if two boxes were pushed against each other, since you could only move one box at a time. There were maybe 50-60 levels, each one got progressively harder. You could select any level (didn't have to start on level 1).
4. There was also a mode where you could create your own levels.
5. The game was a rudimentary 2.5d (I think) and (mostly?) red in color scheme

If this sounds familiar please let me know!! Thanks :)

Some version of Sokoban?
I have googled "sokoban old" and got the game I remember from the DOS era, that one was about a construction worker moving boxes in a building. It used blue and purple colors.

Wow you are amazing. Thank you!! I can't believe I got an answer so fast. It's the version that's written "Soko-Ban". http://www.games4brains.de/sokoban_history.htm

I'm still unable to find this game. I am going crazy thinking about it. I have many more details if it will help anyone locate the name.
PLEASE help me look for this game!

I've had trouble finding this one even after searching through lists of "all" games from the 90's.

This is a mac/pc game(not sure if it was available for both, but I played on mac) that was an educational dinosaur/paleontology game. It started with getting inside this raptor robot that allowed you to travel around and collect bones and talk with scientists. The scientists were real people so the clips were actual video mixed in with the graphics. You spent the whole time I think with a control panel to travel to different locations.

It was all a bunch of puzzles. You would travel to the desert and have to use dynamite, shovels and then trowels and smaller instruments in the right order with certain sediments and rock layers to get to the fossils.There was a geologist who would help you with this and teach you about different types of rocks. Then you would take the fossil to the lab and another scientist would give you tools to clean up the fossils. Then you would have to put together the skeleton like one of those sliding block puzzles.

Please help me find this game! I never got to finish it, and I can't find it anywhere. All the dinosaur games I've seen, or had suggested to me are missing that the game I used to play had video clips of real people/scientists who would help you solve the puzzle. And I can't remember the name of the raptor/robot you were inside of.

EDIT: It is not 3-D Dinosaur Adventure.

my friend is looking for a game that he says comes from the PS1 era. All he remembers is the opening scene. It's a church like structure with a young girl, and there's some sort of demonically strong older woman that shatters everything, windows break and such.
This sounds similar to the opening of Parasite Eve for the PS1.

Well, there are no robots or windmill that I can think of, but Jurassic Park: Trespasser was a female protagonist with first-person view in a semi-open world setting.
