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

[Elmais]

Hello, everyone. The game I'm trying to remember its name is a msdos (PC) 2D point-and-click game (third person, from the side camera angle) about investigation, this game is not bloody, and doesn't include multiplayer, also it's a game with a really good humor. I played this game approximately 13 years ago (1990's decade) . All I remember is that the game starts with a sequence of the main character (a young man, he's the only playable character) driving a car and then it crashes into a building (I'm not sure if the sequence was exactly like that), at this point is when the game starts: your character shows up in one of the rooms of the building you crashed with, there you have to find out how to exit. Taking the appropriate items you archive to get out going down through the window, this leads you to an alley where you talk with a pastry chef, this alley have some clothes hanged up and a container, also you can enter to a cake shop that is right behind the guy you talked with before, there's also a way to get out of the alley. From this point I only remember some parts of the story, like, in the same level there's a detective that asks you some questions to find out if you are a criminal. In another level you are at a shopping center where you can find all kind of shops, even a place where you find a huge brain (I'm not sure if it was a brain) that knows everything. In other level you are at a port where there's a museum, you can talk with a seagoing or enter inside the museum. Another level is another port where you get into a submarine, in one of its rooms you can find a screen where you have to write a password, which was "yellow pants", at this level also you find a room (outside the submarine) where you find some seagoings sleeping. I think this last level was related with the antagonist (By the way, I don't remember how he was). The last level I remember is a garden (at this level you can hear Morning by Edvard Grieg - http://youtu.be/vntAKXIuRUI ), here you can find a little house. A little man invites you to get in, when you enter you realise that that tiny house was bigger that it seems (you can see multiple items and I think you take one (or more) of them with you)

That's all I can explain about the game. I hope you guys understand everything I wrote (My english is not perfect xD). If you don't understand something ask me.

I remember an old game from the original PS I think. it was a battle car driving game which had several options for vehicles you could drive, mostly boxy or big vehicles like monster truck or delivery style truck. You had to find all the other computer controlled players and defeat them by shooting them until they blew up. I remember the scenery as an abandoned city and it would get dark as it became night.I also think you got a few rockets to shoot. you could play it as a two player game. the objective was to be the last one remaining. it was a 3d game and you saw your vehicle from an outside point of view. you got a few lives. that's all I remember.

This thread is amazing, hopefully someone can help me out!

I've been trying to remember an educational PC game I played as a kid (in the later 90s, maybe even very early 2000s) where you explored a cat's mansion - each level revealed a new room in the mansion. Also, after completing each level, there was a portrait room where you would receive a new picture of the mansion taken from a different angle. The cat had been anthropomorphized and wore a dress, which might've been red. Around the mansion there were other anthropomorphized animals who were either guests in the mansion or servants. I think there was a housemaid who was either a hippo or a rhino. The rooms I can remember are an outside garden, a green house, and a stair well that was tiled black and white (and it had a fish tank in it). I think the goal of the game was to collect letters and spell words with them - that was the educational part. Each room had many different items scattered about that you could click. You views the rooms from a standing position (like in a door way) - there was no God's Eye View and you couldn't rotate the camera or anything like that. Sadly that's all I remember!

Pre-thanks to anyone who can help me! I've been trying to find it up for so long!

One of the Twisted Metal titles, perhaps? There were four on the original PS.

There was also the Vigilante 8 series which spawned two titles and both were featured on PS1.

Lastly, while not having any titles on the original PS, there is the Carmageddon series which also might fit your bill.

Ok I really hope someone can help me, in elementary I remember this game where it started outside a castle and you would start playing and you would like click on arrows in the rooms to go to other rooms. I don't remember the point of the game just there was a joker and well dressed females and knights and you would end up in a dungeonI think. It's not much but hope someone can tell me email me at [email protected]

I made an account just to find this old PC game I've been trying to remember for ages. Probably the biggest thing is that the entire game is a time loop and I'm pretty sure that in the end you forget everything and do it all over again. I think throughout the game people make comments about seeing you again? I remember there being a big city in the desert and I think you travel to different worlds because I also remember there being an oasis in the desert, but also some futuristic metal place?

My game is from the 90s and it was a racing game but there was like side options that would let you flip around and earn a score. The higher you went the better the points you could get. I don't know the system or the year but I think it's a 90s game. Please help!

I remember an old sega genesis game where you can build houses and i think sonic and toejam & earl were featured in certain levels of the game. I think you can also customize music in one level of the game. Has anybody have an idea to what this game might be?

There is one game that I've been trying to find for a long time, it's a futuristic kart battle/racing game. I guess that it took place in another planets, and the only thing that distinguished that game from another games is that, in the select screen, you choose the character by it's head, and there were heads that look like a baby, a grandma, and other like a elvis, and (I don't remember how) you could change the head of your character during the race.

This game must be from late 90's or early 2000's, and it was a 3D game with third person view.

Sorry about the poor english, It's because I'm brazilian, and I didn't find anything in portuguese, hope you guys understand.

Hi guys,
I hope that someone can help me with this..I'm looking for a 3D computer game which I played 2000/2001. The only thing I remember is that there was a small character, wizard, thieves, ice floor in one place, desert, maybe it was raining in the desert ...I can't remember anything else..
Any help is appreciated, thanks

i'm sure someone posted about this already but I don't wanna sift through the thread looking.
it wasn't that old, probably after 2000. you played as a robot spider mecha type shooting at enemies of a rival army maybe, I remember a level where you were on a ship amongst a fleet but I don't remember if they were allies or not. might have been on the ps2.

oh and there's another game i'm sure was PS2, it's recent but I just can't remember the name. it's fantasy, I don't remember anything about the storyline but I remember the combat. if I recall there were no other people, just you among ruins. the protagonist had the ability so summon monsters and the ones I remember were floating stars that shoot beams from their center.
usually you face a lot of monsters at once. the two bosses I remember was a demonic tree that you had to hit specific parts of to kill, and a gigantic spider in a cave. the only way to hit the spider was to wait for it to lower it's spinneret.

Hey everyone,

i am looking for 2 games that i played in the 90's on some CD-rom that had 50 games on it (quake, worms, ...)
The first game i am searching for is a "openworld" RPG with turn-based combat. I only remember that ur character is a blond guy or girl with hair in somekind of ponytail and blue - greenish armor. You start in some village but the area after that was a forest where you could encounter green or pink slimes. I also remember something with name Dragon but thats all i remember.

2nd game is a fighting game, i think it was 2D the only two characters i remember was somekind of Stone golem and somekind of fox - dog looking character with blue fur. He had guns and he had some move that shot a giant bullet trough the whole screen so your enemy couldnt dodge it. I thought the name was Super Kid but cant find it so i try my luck here.

Hope someone can help me!

Thanks ^^

There is an old game I am trying to remember that I believe came out in the 90's. It was a PC game (I believe designed for kids) and I remember playing it after I beat Mathblaster to give an idea of the time period.

I believe you were assisting a superhero by pointing and clicking around to solve puzzles. I remember a few random activities in the game:
* You sneak into the bad guy's bedroom to gather clues from the carpet and such and put them under a microscope later in the game.

* You set settings on an Terrarium (heat, humidity, etc) and get a bug which you grow to a large size (with a growth ray?) and fight in an arena.

* You reflect light beams in a cave to melt a block of ice. You have to do this on a timer.

Does this sound familiar to anyone?

 

[alansmith00]

I'm not sure what platform but think it was a ps2 turn based game there are a few features which I remember which are:
You could hatch eggs and find them
Monsters could evolve
There was something like a four section battlefield
At one point u get attacked by something that looks like yourself and then u r beaten and have to fight 4 boss creatures separately
