Trying to remember this game I use to play at least 10 years ago for pc. it was like a virtual pet game (not tamagatchi) except it was little monsters. there were all different types. the graphics were very poor, like the forest was just a big green screen with the paths laid out. you had to go around beating monsters to level up and there were monsters that were like purple blobs and also little ghosts things, I really don't remember much about it but been trying to figure it out for like 4 months now. It was all keyboard based.

I use to play a game where you were a ninja and you could walk around and go through a door to fight people. As you won they got harder. You could retrieve pots or something from a guy and deliver them to another guy who would pay you for them. You could save the game by talking to and old man. This is a really old PC game.

Ok guys, i need your help.


I played this game on Win 95-98, i think. I was playing it toghether with Jazz Jackrabbit so it should be about 1994-1998.

It was a puzzle game.

The UI was clean: dark, space-like screen with the userbars on (if i recall correctly) on the upper and left sides.

From the bars you could pick some pipes, which you could place on the main window. Those pipes, which looked like metal, could be rotated with a click. The pipes were T-shaped, C-shaped, U-shaped, X-shaped and so on.

You could add also gravity-wells or repulsors.

The game was all about making this little white ball go from point A to point B, overcoming obstacles, or doing it with a limited number of "moves". The ball would fall accordingly to gravity (or no-gravity if the scenario was so) and through the various pipes. There was a "trajectory displayer" that by little white dots underlined the ball's trajectory so you could adjust the position of the pipes or bouncers after every try.

I'm recalling something like Orbit or Gravity or Spaceball or Spacepinball or something with "Marble" but the title may also be very different.

I've tried for a few months with this game but no list has come handy.
Maybe between you guys there's someone who can remember this game!

I'm probably way off, but the first thing that came to mind was Phantom Fighter (but it's for the NES, you walk around a town and enter doors, to fight people. ) ( http://www.gamefabrique.com/storage/screenshots/nes/phantom-fighter-05.png )

Hello everyone.

I joined this site just to post this! I am frustrated!

When I was younger I remember playing a PC game I bought from a bargain bin at my local store in the UK around the late nineties.

The game started with you waking up on a beach with no memory. You are a blond guy wearing rags. You then make your way to a small encampment where upon you can buy armour and such. I believe there was a shaman there who saw you as the chosen one. You then had to do quests and try and find out who you are.

I also remember a mission where you had to kill a witch who was guarding a tower, she was hard!!!

Also at the end it turns out your a dude from the future and it turns out some guy sent you there through some kind of portal. I also remember annoyingly the game would crash on the last level but I'm sure that was just our copy.

Some key points:

The gameplay was similar to Diablo 2

My brother remembers Obsidian armour being a key thing

I would be so grateful is someone could help me with this. I have finally found a question google cant help with!!

Hi all, new user, just joined because after days of searching I'm having no luck finding a game I used to play as a kid. It was a 3rd person arcade shooter, looking down from the top scroller with 'twist' controllers. In the game were boxes which when shot contained new weapons, extra lives, etc. you ventured through levels battling tanks (I think!!) and other enemy shooters.

Someone please tell me the name as it's driving me NUTS!!!!!

Thanks for any help folks! :)
Is the Arcade game called T-Mek?

Hi there, unfortunately not. I've just had a quick look online and it's not the game I'm thinking of.

Thanks for the reply though!

Just been busy googling and 2 games which I've found which look similar are Guwange or esp.ra.de.... Although a slight difference is that the one I'm thinking of is multi directional.

Hey, I've been going mad trying to think of this game for a while now. It was a 3D third person pc game i only had the demo from a Pc Gamer Magazine, I can remember the graphics being quite good and looked quite realistic at the time. You wake up in a Dungeon/Cell and you're a Knight (or i think there were other characters like a dwarf) when you leave the cell you walk round a corner and there were little goblins/creatures sat around a camp fire. I know you had to walk around picking up pieces of cheese and ham for health. I'm afraid this is all me and my brother can remember :( i hope this sounds familiar to someone but it seems like a bit of a long shot. But thanks all the same :)
Sounds like severance blade of darkness.
Cheers but I'm afraid that's not it :( it looked like that sort of play style but the game itself looked a lot darker and scarier. Thank you though :)

Hi people.

I'm looking for a game that's very hazy in my memory. I think I remember some stuff about it, but not 100% sure if they are accurate or not, but I'll list what I think is true on what I'm looking for.

It's a Japanese rpg for the snes, I think it was released in Japan only, but not 100% sure.

It starts off with an animeish style intro where a school boy is transported to the past of a fantasy world.

Random battles become less frequent in the world map the higher your level is and become non-existant.

The main character sometimes got split up from his party and joined another party. The second party I remember one of the characters had a boomerang that attacked all the monsters in the random battle.

And this is all I really remember about it.

All i remember is that you are a wierd creature kinda like speedy eggbert and it is a puzzle game where you move blocks to proceed tovthe next level. I remember a house in one of the levels and there are different worlds. I dont remember any UI. It is also 3D and the view is like diablo 3. It has been bugging me for an age and i need to find it again and enjoy it like i used to back then
