Old Games you remember playing but can't remember the name of.

[Jonathan Keyes]

Ok so two games -

1 - was an old pc demo, 3d graphics but old, possibly around 1995 or 1997 onwards. You started as a kid/guy in this castle, i vaguely remember a green tshirt. You didnt have any gear though. The castle was kinda falling apart and abandonded but there were occasional random goblins/monsters. Lots of traps too, it was kinda bright, but i didnt get far as you died easily.

2 - Another was more recent, i played in an internet cafe in 2005. Was a fantasy RPG style, decent graphics. You started by a bon fire outside a castle and entered through the sewers. Its not oblivion or elder scolls or anything like that. Pretty sure it had 'Dungeon' in the title...but what fantasy rpg doesnt.

Cheers

I remember the 2nd game had an opening screen where it looked like a castle gate, that opened/closed when you clicked on it to start the game....

Any help???

I wanted to see if you could help me please. I am looking for an old PC game perhaps from the 90s. It was a game in color and you woke up either in jail or in a dungeon and had to bust your way out ( You had nothing on your person, no items ). If I remember correctly you had a party of players. You had to sneak your way out of the dungeon and when you were finally out you could go around the various parts of the game fighting and leveling up your characters equipping them with new armor, swords, and other equipment. The one thing I remember the most about the game was that there was an ever looming threat that you had to accomplish your goals within a certain time frame because an army was building up and if you let too many days go past the game would end with your loss. The last thing I remember about the game is that there were magic weapons and armor and they would glow and the colors would move which was neat.

I know I don't have a lot to go on, can anyone help? It would be greatly appreciated.

I also remember that I believe there were multiple versions of this game and this was a second or third game in the line. I believe there were character types such as human, half giant, ect. Any ideas? your help is immensely appreciated.

Found it myself : ) : )

A few games I played in my youth and at my cousins house. the games are between 1991 and 2002 I believe cause we played them early in grade school. One was a police/arcade style shooter game where you tried not to shoot the hostages and such, it was 2 players and you moved from stage to stage like that, I remember first it was a shooting at a movie theater or mall you had to kill shoot down all the bad guys then it followed the action sequence and i don't know from there..

another one was kind of like reader rabbit but took place in a classroom (maybe preschool or kindergarten) I remember checking the clock or something in the room of the game as part of an objective, and you could go outside and "paint" and fill things in with color like mspaint or something. it was one of those educational games for adolescents.

also there was a few games made by the same company I think, again targetted for the same age range. a western type, animated where you could make a goofy wanted poster and things, and a medieval one that matched it with a major quest to free the king or something like that. the other one was the same type of thing but at a carnival, might have even been reader rabbit on this one but i'm not sure. also I think he had a mickey mouse game too? where he got out of bed and had to fetch things for a party? any help on any of these would be amazing.

Hello guys, I'm hoping someone can help me here.
I've been looking for this game from my childhood for, like, years, but couldn't find anything.
I used to play it on a Windows 95/Windows 98 PC. The icon looked like some sort of black cinecamera on a bright light blue background - althought I'm pretty sure it was because the game was a demo. I'm pretty sure I got that from one of these CDs full of demos and freeware stuff - but I cannot find said disk anymore, my dad must have thrown it away.
So anyway, it was a first person point and click game. You could never see the person you were impersonating - only the surroundings, which were drawn, cartoon-y style. I am also pretty sure there were no dialogues/ voice acting. I can't even remember what the plot was.
I do remember clearly the first scene. You found yourself out of this building, on a windy street. You could hear the wind howling, and if you stood there for long enough you could see leaves and cans being blown around by the wind. It was a very grey athmosphere. The occasional leaves were orange whilst the cans were red and white. The building was at your right, in a kind of 3/4 prospective. I remember there were some of these... I can't quite remember what they're called now, but they are like these eagle heads made of stone, in front of the building.
I don't remember the insides as well. Overall, the game was very grey - in some areas, there was a lot of light and the rooms seemed white, even, while in other places it was almost black. The game itself, though, /had/ colors, and a nice graphic too. I remember some of the rooms were pretty damaged, with crumbled roofs around blocking your passage and light streaming through the holes. In one of these rooms, I remember some plants. If I am not wrong, some were in a red vase.
But what I remember best is that I could not proceed further than a certain point, with the game being a demo and all. In fact, there was this really wide room (I think it was some kind of main room?) that had two set of stairs, one at it's right and one at it's left. You could climb the stairs at the left, but the ones at the right were broken and you couldn't explore that part. I remember that when you clicked on these stairs it just zoomed on the broken steps.
I also remember the game being pretty silent. In fact, I'd be surpried to know the game had music at all.
There might or might not have been a broken red elevator.
Also, (I'm not too sure about this) at a certain point in the beginning there was a black screen with these green sqares things. As in - the screen itself was black, and so were the squares, but the squares of which the screen was made were outlined in bright, matrix-y green. There was some white writing and a white rhombus figure. I might be wrong on this, though; it might have been from another game entirely.
I played this when I was a kid, so it had to be in the early 2000's, but the game itself might have been older - I live in Italy and of course stuff takes some time to be translated and published here, too.
Any help will be greatly appreciated! This thing has been driving me crazy ^^

Hi everyone!
The game I looking for is old (2000/2005 I tink).
It's a free game in which the main character was a little man with a round head.
The view was from above, and is fought, among others, also of the zombies. The weapons were available in several, if I remember correctly, and often the enemies were made literally in pieces. It seems to me that in the main menu there was the name of the game, the developer and one of these men.
Please help me!

I also tried to remember a game a friend once played. He asked me if I know it, but I never played it myself. It is, as he says about a - probably - N64 Jump'n'Run featuring a guy with blond hair and a purple jacket. He remembers about an forest, and that, if he died, he "flew" away, down the screen, with a purple umbrella or parasol. Thanks in advance.

Mischief Makers?

 

[sega-genesis-oldie]

I have been spending the day remembering my sega genesis. I have found nearly all the titles, but am missing one.

I'm nearly sure it's a sega genesis game, it didn't have any better graphics than 16 bit.

It was a first person game(you could see your hands sometimes I believe, but that was it).
It was a quest type, point and click game.
It was very similar to a choose your own adventure type book, where at every screen you had different choices you could make. it was NOT real time. I can't remember the ultimate object, but the different areas of the game were very inter-related (ie you had to trap a song bird in one area, then use the song bird to distract a giant in another, to get a sword in a third, to kill a monster in a fourth). I seem to remember it being medieval in time period. The puzzles the game presented were not spelled out. You had to scale a rock cliff, and had to figure out for yourself what items you needed to do it and where those items were and how to get those items by yourself.

It was a very late 80's to 90's game. (To give you an idea other games I played at the time were Sword of Vermillion, Golden Axe, Cool Sot, and Shadowrun.)

I am looking for an old pc game (I played a demo of it in 1999), but I can't recall clearly any images just some pieces of thoughts about it.

If I'm not wrong you had to manage some yellow egg-shaped characters (I think they were supposed to be some kind of bugs)
and had to build your base, though I think there were very few buildings (5 or 6).

You had to collect flowers that were used as resources, with each kind (about 3 classes) being used for something like making glue that could be droped in the floor to make a trap.

At the begining your base was always attacked by something (i dont remember what exactly but I think some were yellow bulldozers that respawned periodically), however your base was surrounded by a wall that had a gate of lasers. After some time the gate faded, letting them in. I believe that in order to win you had to achieve some objective but you could choose to first trap all the enemies (not sure) and they stopped respawning (they number was limited?).

The last thing I remember is that your workers(?) were limited and to produce more you had to find eggs that came in a pack of three or four (i dont remember) and had to build an incubator that was a plataform with some lights (like an helipad but just straight lines).

Sorry if my grammar was poor but English is not my native language, and thanks beforehand for your help.

That icon was very common back than, it was from a multimedia engine.

About the game, you could take a look in this [http://www.terrybutler.co.uk/misc/the-first-person-adventure-games-list/] list, the most First Person Point and Click adventures are in there.

It was 2D platform game and our character is small green bubble, similar to this[1]. He is jumping, sticky to walls, stretch like of the frog tongue and sound like spit.

hey guys i am searching for a pc game i have played at 2008. only ting i remember is that at he begining was some friendly blue aliens village and then you whee going fighting other bad aliens to save their planet.

 

[Maciej Litwin]

I've managed to find most of the games, which names I couldn't remember, by my own. Last week I've stumbled upon "Spud!" somewhat by chance, and now I'm left with only, well, maybe two games.

The one is some sort of DOS-era platformer that I remember so little about that I probably couldn't recognize it even if I saw it. (I've never played it, just watched demo loop on the screen for maybe a minute)

The second one I've played on a friend's NES only for maybe half an hour, but I REALLY liked it. Had no luck finding it though. :/
1. Pretty sure it was a NES game
2. It had an intro consisting of a series of pictures with text. I think there was a gorrila breaking through a wall in there?
3. It was an action platformer or something of the kind.
4. You played as some sort of yellow cats in white clothes? There were more than one and they changed between stages.
5. The first stage had a blue sky in the background, and I believe you were armed with a crossbow in it.

That's all I can remember right now. I think the problem with searching for this game is that it was one of many games on one of those "X games in 1" cartriges. I don't know if it was sold on it's own.
I would very much appreciate any help with this one. The game was truly awesome, I keep thinking about it regularly, but just can't find it. :/

 

[caunwaithon]

This has been driving me crazy, so I appreciate your help!

I remember playing this game a long time ago, and can almost remember the name... I think.

Description:
It's a 2D game from an aerial perspective. You play as a dog who is presented with different scenarios in a square-ish arena. In each level I think basically all you do is move stone blocks - but they are limited to exactly what you need to win the level. Some to cross water, things like that. I think you need to obtain a key in the level to move on to the next. But in order to do so, you must first defeat spiders or something if I remember right. With the stones, you can trap them and squash them. The spiders follow edges, so you have to sort of trap them and kill them.

Game title:
I'm pretty sure it was the name of the dog... and I think it starts with an "F" and contains letters such as "R", "E" and "Z". I could be mistaken on some of those... but I'm pretty sure some are in the title.

Anyone know what I'm talking about?

 

[smuff]

Hey guys, i'm dying to remember the name of a game i played like 8 years ago, it was a pc puzzle game, in which you were a purple hairy ball with eyes and feet, you had to put mirrors in diagonal positions to redirect lasers, i don't remember if you had to protect yourself like that or destroy enemies with that, i remember the floor was kinda icy, like glass maybe, the perspective was top-down, I also think the name of the game was just one word. Searched over 100 sites and couldn't find it! The main menu when you first opened the game was this purple character with lots of guns and misiles behind
Thanks if you find it!

[mr.raccoon]

Hello!

There is this game that has been haunting me ages. It was on a pc and at that time was somewhere 90s - i assume the game was created at the 90s aswell since it was first person.
Anyhow the game was i think somewhere in future or futuristic atleast and in the beginning you could choose a character between i guess atleast 4 different men or so maybe more. I remember that one could have been with a long gray coat.
I dont have a clue how the missions or levels where started because at that time i had no clue about english and was basically first introduced to an computer, and seemed like there was different starting points, maybe they where related to different characters starting from different places or maybe the characters where a team and you could choose one to play with where ever they where. I remember that once you could start from the underground metro, there where ordinary people there waiting for the train and if you draw a gun - i think they started panicking (so you ''had'' to shoot them )
But i dont remember if i succeeded to shoot them.
Another starting point was somewhere outside and you could see this futuristic building im not sure but i kind of remember that the door was more like a gate size and maybe opened up and down.

I hope someone knows the game - since its been bothering me around 20 years now..

I remember this old pc game, maybe from the 90s, for kids. It was in a farm, there was songs and all, and the main caracter was a sort of chipmunk/squirrel with indigo clothes, I think. It was a really basic game, where you could click on the barn, some animals etc. and it led you to songs and mini-games.
God I loved this game so much but can't find it again.

 

[Ryyme]

Anyone recall, or know the name of an 80?s dos game that was based in space? You started with 1 person and 1 ship and could gradually work your way up to a total of 6. Each mission you went out into a hex grid and your ship(s) fought against other ships in turn based combat. You kind of had to guess what the computer AI would do. You would be awarded badges/ranks/etc. You had massive missiles that could be launched as one shot weapons & there was even a mission where you and your ships would fight a space station in the center of the hexgrid, which occupied 7 hexes, the 6 outlining hexes all had large turrets/guns that would fire at you and you would try and blow up the station while not getting hit or being blown up yourself. I want to say it was mostly black and white graphics, and you had little icons on the side (3 on each side) of your team members, and the amounts of badges and honors they had collected. You got to customize your ships between fights too.
Sorry that's about all I remember.
