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

[Acireams]

I don't know if people are still checking these, trying to answer them, but I would love it if someone would read this and try to remember.

I played the demo of an horizontal game, where there was this red-headed girl that lived in space and she had oxygen as long as she was in her base and whenever she was about to leave she had to take these tanks of oxygen that she was recharging and then go on the ground with her dog companion to save her sergeant who was trapped at the end inside the ground.

Aliens were always attacking the base.

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



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?

Sounds a lot like Kickle Cubicle, but could easily be wrong.

OK here goes, some games I used to lay but cant remember the name of them:

1. Platform Game with I think a professor entering each level with a disc to get and then access the computer to exit the level. The platforms are populated with robots that either move or fire a zap and the professor has to do front flips and back flips over them.
2. Game with a little man running around with a hat on, moving blocks, to complete the game his hat falls off
3. Driving game, where if you crashed you got out of the car and into another one

Love to know what they were called and if you can still play them?

I am surprised at how many different games there were back then!

This is all I remember but i'm desperate to get some answers:

?It was a PC game
?Had I think an Alien head? The head would pop up on a large screen in what looked like a bedroom? and you could chose how he looked. From weird eyes, to purple lips and blonde hair. He would make funny noises when you did all this.
?Didn't have anything to do with anything violent. So no guns or rescue missions
?You would go into a pyramid and move tiles and also learned about stars

The game had pretty decent graphics, wasn't at all pixilated but I think it was maybe in the 90's? I was born in '93 so not that early. We were also playing that "Math Blaster" game at the time (I think) along with Stay Tooned, and Rollercoaster Tycoon. HELP!!! PLEASE!

There's this one pc game that I can't really remember. I don't have much detail for it but I remember the last thing I was doing. I was on a train, looking thru the different people's rooms trying to look for clues. The last thing I remember was going into a dark room and looking at a tapestry hanging on a wall. I'm guessing it was a mystery game and I was trying to find something. If someone could help me with this that would be great. I know its not much detail though haha. I would love to be able to play it again.

 

[randomrestart]

Another game I can't remember, it had to do with little people that kind of looked like they had Lego heads and their heads were yellow. I believe there was one girl who was in charge of them and you got to go out into a town and I believe destroy it to find parts and if you made a big enough problem, cops started shooting you and if I remember correctly, a helicopter too. Sometimes you were a giant robot. And another thing you could do was put a hat on one of your favorite yellow headed guys. It's kind of hard to really explain but if anyone thinks it sounds familiar please let me know. I know it was for an older console but I can't remember which one.

The last express: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Last_Express

Agatha Christie: Murder on the Orient Express : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agatha_Christie:_Murder_on_the_Orient_Express

Maybe it's one of those.

I remember playing a game a LONG time ago , I don't remember the name of it , I can't remember if it was on Sega Saturn or on N64 ,

Anyways , what I remember it being is, it was kind of like a top facing view of the arena/battlefield kind of like 3rd person-esque and you had to fight different rounds of the enemy (I dunno if they were robots or what they were) & each new round they would get stronger and there would be way more enemies to fight.
*I remember the graphics as being very Neon colored like, It was like vivid colors of neon Green or Neon Red on their backs.
*Also the music of the game , as a kid kind of resembled some of Bjork's Tracks + Acid Techno.

I have been searching for it for ages and haven't been successful at finding what it is yet.

Thank you! It was the Agatha Christie one! And the other sounds interesting too so I might even try that one too. Thanks again!

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..... TLTQ

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.

Thanks for the answer. I checked every game in the list but to no avail
But searching some more I found a game that has graphics similar to the one I am trying to find, Covert Front. Just, the athmosphere was more grey-white and I don't think you even saw persons in the game I am looking for.
Still, if anyone knows a game with this kind of graphics, it might as well be it.

Hello everyone!

I understand this is a very VERY old tread but this is bugging the crap out of me and would only hope that others have some "extra glint" on the game I am still trying to remember.

The game I can't pin a name to was a fantasy/picture based game. A simple-button/turn based game that made the player face warriors, wizards, and dragons. The art style was great for its time (probably still is if its actually floating around somewhere), and unfortunately I cannot remember if there was any basic color pallet to it; I remember it consisting of beige, black and white (but memory sadly doesn't serve me well).

Every once and a while I remember that the same time I played this game, I played merlin's revenge a whole lot. I say this in hope that merlin's revenge may spark memories of both games.

Actually, crazy name thought but I believe "quest" was part of the title.



Besides all of that I'm just going to make a note to all that read that to my knowledge this is my first thread post, ever. That being said, hopefully everything I have just typed was proper.

Thanks for reading!

STAY TOONED!!! Love that game! JUST watched the walk through (15 part) on YouTube!

 

[Brutalys]

I try to find a game I played in 1995. It was a spy game where there were crime scene, reproduction of JFK assasination, and even a torture scene when the guy died if tortured too much. There was also a "head-shot", where another guy's head exploded.
Also, a feature where we could connect online (Dial-up). It was strange at that time.
All game was real video scenes. It was on PC.

Update :
The game is Spycraft, and it was in 1996.

 

[deadlyduke]

Its not that old but it was on andriod market place and you colonized planets starting with one. You gathered recorces and. Then moved to another planet once the planet was complete you turned it over to the civilians. They planets were numbered 1-999 and you had an orbital defence station that you must take down before you could colonize. Thanks in advance guys

Hey everybody,
Me and a couple of friends have been seaching for this PC game for AGES now. I don't remember much, only that it practically was my life after school in the small grades. It's probably from mid to late 90's:
You're this little blondhaired, pink-shirted guy, running around in this 2D world, collecting fruit - and sweets - for points and power-ups. You would meet all kinds of enimies, flying and crawling, robots, monsters etc., and I think your goal was to save you littlesister/family (?) from an enemy/to get home/something like that? It was a platformer, very colourful and the soundtrack was, as I recall it, extremely awesome.

I know this isn't very detailed, hope somebody here can lead me towards some title!
Thank you!

Could you collect gems? Was the world made of trees and caves, and very colorful? (wasn't it a girl character? Im not sure about this thou.) I think I have a game like that, I'll look it up if it matches.

I'm pretty sure it was fruits and such - but I could be wrong.
The "levels" would constantly change, but yep, it was forests, caves, everything.
If you could look it up, it would be amazing!

The only Point and click adventure games from that time I can remember without any persons in it are the Myst series (excluding Uru), 9 - The last resort, Shivers and The Labyrinth of Time. But those are not cartoonisch, or at least they not suppose to do.

Hi . I hope you will be able to help me because I 've been searching for this game for over 2 years .
- It's a top down shooter. The screen is divided in two . Your vehicle is on the left and the one of the A.I on the right.
You can choose between many vehicles , like a garbage truck , a bike and a spaceship.

-The A.I starts with premade walls . Zombies start spawning from the top of the screen. The bigger the combo of the killed
zombies , the stronger the enemies that will spawn on the other part of the screen . I remember that some of the enemies were wasps . The toughest enemy you could spawn was a swarm of frankestein-like dolls that shooted lasers .

- You can use cards during the game , that act like powerups . They spawn walls , launch missiles etc . You earn cards each time you defeat the A.I.

-There are 8 or 9 bosses in total . The final boss has multiple forms and if I remember correctly hsi first form is a cart like the ones we use in super markets.

-I believe that the game was freeware . I played it at 2004-6 .

Hi everyone!
I'm on a quest to find this game i've been searching for, for such a long time.
I played it back in 2000-2002 sometime (but I think the game was produced before this) and it was on N64, you could choose one of three playable characters and you could play multiplayer up to 3 which me, my bro and nephew used to do.
Then you were supposed to defend yourself and kill like some sort of monsters.
Can't remember much more than that.
Thanks beforehand!
