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

[Redrow]

I'm looking for a game that might have been on play station one. It was an adventure game where you go to town and buy armor, swords, potion and I think magic was one of it too. You travel in forest killing things (I think one monster was a giant bee/wasp) then you go into a dungeon and kill the main boss. The dungeon had traps and treasure chests and monsters. That's all I could remember. It's not Deathtrap Dungeon. I think in the beginning of the game you get to choose between several characters.

I remember playing a game for the pc quite a while back. it was a medieval era game. It had units like elephants and spearman. I also remember you can take over cities, there was also a unit for one race that you could only build 4 of them. You also needed food for your troops or they would die. im pretty sure that you could upgrade your troops to. and when you built troops there would all go into the town hall or something like that. that is all i can really remember. I been trying to find it for years. any help would be wonderful.

Hello again guys I am back with another game that I can't seem to recall for the life of me.

I played it about 15 years ago and I don't remember but 1 thing about it and hopefully it's enough.

It was for the SNES I don't remember what the overworld was like, what kind of view you had of the game but you were a hero with what I recall as a sword (possibly a dagger but I doubt that.) At the very beginning or near the very beginning you go into a cave where there are slime like monsters on the ground in a little dip, you had to crouch to attack them.

In the cave I am positive it was a side scrolling game while in the cave. and IIRC you leveled up I am fairly sure you did..

That unfortunately is all I remember about the game and no it's not Zelda 2, not to mention that was for the NES..

If this get's answered correctly by anyone I will actually be surprised with the vague details.

There is an old pc game, probably from the late 90s to early 00s. It was a pirate based cannon game. The game takes place on an island and each player has their own cannon raised on a hill. The objective was to destroy the other peoples' cannons and to try to hit the treasure chests to get money. The game itself had impressive graphics for its time, and had a 3-D feel. the cannons had different types of cannonballs, it was able to be rotated 360 degrees sideways and up/down. People keep saying its some game related to tanks, but its cannons and is pirate themed. I have had a few people say they remember playing it also but cant remember the name, so i'm not the only one out there.

Hey guys,

I remember playing some racing game for the gamecube quite a while ago, and its whole theme was driving around in really tiny customizable cars. The only tracks I remember were a kids bedroom, a school, a city's highway, and a winter town, but I'm for sure there are tons more. You could choose a bunch of things to drive like dumptrucks or sports cars, and the game also had power-ups like rockets or boost around the track. That's all I can really say about it, just tiny cars in varying tracks. If anyone knows the name that would be awesome!

Thanks

This thread is amazing. Maybe you are the right people to help me out find a game I've looked for for about a year now ever since I remembered its basic concept. It was a game I played a lot when I was young and it may have been the very first actual MOBA to exist before DoTA and LoL but in 3d.

The game was about mecha-warriors fighting in huge Arenas. You could choose your warrior, your opponents and the arena and you just had to kill the enemy team until the time ran out.

Each warrior had special abilities. There was a pink mecha who had the ability to fly, a blue who could plant bots that shot for you and a huge one with horns(black mecha) along with many others.

The menu had an anime girl in the background and she had angel wings(one was damaged I think).

There was a forest level, an acropolis level and a forest level along with many others.

The name was something like, "silver knights" or "iron knights" or "angel knights". It's the only thing I can recall.

Thanks in advance...

I have a game on PC. An in-browser game. You were a little island and you could build on your island with thrusters and different weapons... I cant remember and its killing me!!! It was a multiplayer online game too, if that helps... Please help!

Hi, I made an account just to ask here.

I remember playing this sort of educational PC game back in the early 2000's the main menu was what appears as a small lab or something and there was a computer screen somewhere in there (you could also say it was pixel art, albeit probably detailed) there were multiple minigames, but I only remember one.

There's a robot standing in a room, and there are a number of "command" buttons on the bottom of the screen, some commands included walking one step, three steps, turning around, pick something up (fish bowl, basketball, stool), interacting with them, stashing them away inside the robot, somersaults and backflips. There were also two buttons the robot could interact with, one on either side of the room.

There were multiple ways to give him orders, you could have him apply the command right as you press them, or queue them to make sort of a cut scene. There was also a challenge mode which gave you an objective which you needed to achieve using queuing. Lastly, I remember that you could edit the queue, and the interface looked like a movie editor.

I don't really remember much other than that, I remember the game's name having something "science" or "lab" related in the title. I'm not sure about this last detail, but I think the CD art had a lot of brown and/or pink on it.

Is there any chance you could be thinking about "Jumpstart 3rd Grade"?

The main character is a robot who has to save the world from his inventor's daughter. She is sending other robots back in time to change history and you have to stop her. One of the mini games does involve controlling a little robot using the commands you mentioned.

Sound Familiar?

I just looked it up and, sadly, no.

I explicitly remember the game being 2D, and being entirely point and click. It was also just made out of minigames, no story to it. The one I described earlier is the only one with a robot.

OH I JUST REMEMBERED ANOTHER, another minigame involved you controlling a hose, the hose is stationary and you can set its angle and power. Then you had to try and aim it at a number of targets.

The his nozzle was most likely red and yellow, the background was a barren soil garden with some trees far away.

Ok time for me,

Pc win 95/98 mabye even xp

2d platformer with sandbox elements as building your own map with the game's recourses, lava , water, trampolines and (powerups?) were available too use.

You could assign different colors of players ( which we never got working )

Basicly like Linerider but with blocks

Love your input guys, been having a conversation with my friend about it all week.

There was a really good RP I had played a long time ago, and I thought it was Shadow Madness, but even reading walkthroughs doesn't seem to say much about it.
The game started out as usual, with your main character. You eventually get to a temple, and recruit a healer chick. You go do stuff, and she gets posessed by the "Wings of..." (I forgot the name). But apparently the "God" of that world fought the demon of the world, and their religion says that Light won.

It didn't. God fought the devil and died.

The devil, however, was broken into pieces, and the Wings are just one of the fragments. Luckily it joins you. As you go through the game, you fight other bosses that are the Eyes, and other body parts. But when you get to the Heart, it absorbs your awesome demon healer chick, and you no longer have your mage/healer. Also your other support characters get perma-deathed or run off, insane- as per story. Until you're all alone. I couldn't beat the game.

That was Shadow Madness, wasn't it? If it wasn't, what was that game's name?

 

[Payne]

I played this game in 95 or 97 it was on SNES.It was sidescrolling 2d shooter you played a sort of military guy he had green shirt as i remember

 

[sandro12]

I played a game I remember very few details about, but I'll give this place a try.
Game was played on windows 98 or 95 I don't think it was XP (could have been a mac- I had both comps)
-roughly between 1991-2003
-full game you had to install (not browser based)
-game was in english and sold in North America (Played in Canada)
-game was a dungeon crawler, with first person view, and full color, (and some sound I think).
-RPG/Medieval style -swords, knives, armor, level up stats, etc.
-I remember that one of the enemies you could encounter were rats. (pesky buggers)
-In the game you could find items that were unidentified. When you came back to town? to the blacksmith/merchant guy in his store (he was behind a counter), you could get the item ID'ed. If the item was cursed, you couldn't sell it, or had to get it un-cursed?, and the cursed item had negative effects on you (I can't remember what exactly).
-you only got one character to play with (I think)(unlike the 4-5 person group in many crawlers).
-If I see the game start/options menu or the merchant guy, I think I'll know the game right away.

I know the details are vague- it's been a long time and hundreds of games since then.
Any help ID'ing this would be awesome.

Thanks.

i remember playing a sega game around 1990-1992. you played an animal i think and needed to change into a different animal to be able to advance in the levels. was a kind of adventure game. any ideas?

 

[zodeshadowstar]

Hello, the game I am trying to remember was one that came on Windows 98..? I can't remember which one honestly, I was way too young at the time. But the game was like an adventure game. You would start in some place with, from what I can remember, your house being like broken or on fire and your mother was killed..? Something along those lines and then to move you would use the arrow keys. One push of the button would move you one cell. Holding it down would just send you running in a direction basically. You would encounter monsters and to fight them i think it was you simply run into them with the arrow keys? Of course with your character having weapons. I think i remember the first enemy being a rat and the rat killing me in about two blows or so lol.. I honestly can't remember most of it and it has taken me the absolute longest time for me to find a picture of it, but I literally found one today of something that looks REALLY similar to it. This game in the image looks literally almost like the game that i played over like 16 years ago or so, but it's not that game itself. It just looks like someone revamped the graphics a bit and tried remaking the game.

http://typophile.com/files/screen3tj_4924.png

The character is the knight at the top i believe. Each time you move would be one cell like i said before. I can't remember the name for it at all and I don't recall it being in alpha or being a demo neither. The image is not of the actual game that I played when I was like 4 or 5 years old obviously... Another thing i can remember from the game is that when you start, two screens up is a dungeon and then if you go back out and down one and left one i think..? there was this village of some sort. I don't know that's all i can remember.

Sounds a lot like Castle of the Winds. You start in the town but your house was burned down and there is a dungeon to the north. To be honest though a lot of tile based roguelike games look very similar. See if the intro in this video looks familiar [link]http://youtu.be/EQO2KhJVrnQ?t=3m55s[/link]

You.... ARE MY LIFE SAVER!!! You literally have no clue how long I have been looking for this game. I am in great debt to you >.< hahah.

No problem. It was a favorite of mine way back in the day so your description sounded familiar right away. Glad I could help.

[EDIT: After searching for DAYS, I found it within about ONE MINUTE of posting here. It was a game called "Shadow Keep" from 1991 by Glenn Seemann.]

Desperately trying to remember an old monochrome compact Macintosh graphical adventure quest game. I got it on a shareware floppy labeled "Flagg's Floppies". It was either a late 1980's or very early 1990-ish game.
It wasn't Realmz.
It wasn't Dark Castle.
It wasn't a text-only adventure.
You were a knight (or an adventurer or something) with pretty cheesy graphics, and there was a scrolling map, and you could move the character up/down/left/right and maybe diagonally. You could go to different places and text-interact with various NPC's who might give you clues like "I think the baker might know something." (and so you'd go off looking for the baker.) You were on a quest or something. I remember there was a jail that you had to get out of. The total map size was extremely large, so it made for hours of gameplay exploring.
I think the name was a one-word name of the city, or the land, or something like that. Along the way you would collect loot and look for things.

For the life of me I can't remember the name. It was for compact Mac like a Mac Plus. I played it on a Classic II with System 7.0.1 which was a little bit too new for it, so it would crash a lot, so it was almost certainly written for System 6.

ONE TIME I remembered the name of it and Googled it and found a page related to it, by the guy who wrote it. It was apparently a one-off thing, and he never marketed it commercially or anything.

PLEASE HELP.

There are 2 games I am trying to figure out.

The first game was one I played in elementary school. In it you had a truck which you would go to different cities to pick up cargo and then drop it off in another city. This game was to better learn about city's and states in the USA. You could pick up hitch hikers and lock up the back of the truck or sleep.

The next game was a PS1 game I think and in it you had to get past giant blocks that was moving.

Not much to go on. Do you remember the viewing angle or anything? Was it actiony like Altered Beast or more platformy like Rolo to the Rescue?

[Super Squirrel]

Hello

i'm trying to think of this game I played in the early 90's and it was either for the playstation or sega or super nintendo it had street fighter graphics and gameplay...it might have been for playstation but I can't think properly...anyways the only two characters I can think of is this dead pharoh mummy with one of his combos being this thing where his arms stretches and goes underground and then shoots up on the other side of the screen to the enemy asnd this other character is a werewolf that I think that jumped around a lot punching and kicking and it made me think he was break dancing as a kid for some reason.

If anybody could help me that would be awesome!

Darkstalkers.

PS2 game that involved mechs. Some points about it are:
1:Mechs.
2:You could get sponsored by different companies when you became good enough.
3:Fight in an arena against other mechs.
4:Buy "A.I"s that looked liked various animals.
5:100 days of competition then it would reset and went on for another 100 days.
6:There was a plot were in some conversations people would suddenly disappear and they would have found to have been killed.

If anyone knows please help, this game has been stuck in my head for ages and I can't find the name of it.

Also looking for that game, and it's not Gundam Wing. The conversations were Manga-like (the drawings of the characters) and the game involved you aiming with you mech cannon FPS then reverting to 3rd person turn based.
