I'm trying to remember an old game that was either on playstation one or two ( probably ps2).
What I remember is that its an action adventure game based on a dark medieval mythical setting most likely mature because of its gore content.

In the cinematic, I remember that there was an a war between humans and demonic minotaurs, and then the outcome show the minotaurs eating the humans flesh and fighting for it. Then the hero shows up (I think) where he looked big and buff with black long hair and sort of a big two handed sword. And I remember starting in a castle filled with demonic creatures and it was kinda dark like it was at night. And The hero was mostly like a lone warrior, i don't remember interacting with any other characters cause most were dead corpses

That's all I remember, I played it when I was still very young and I want to remember what its name was.

I played a pc game in the 90s where you traveled the US. It was a 3rd person, single screen platform game that looked cartoony. You would make your way to the end of the level, defeating bad guys, then you would pull or climb up a rope or something. Each level was a different city, and the only levels I remember were vegas and new york.

I remember when I was a kid playing a game on an iMac G3. I think it was a platformer but I'm not completely sure. I think it had something to do with space (Star might have been in the name).

I remember playing a SNES game that was somewhat a liner free roam. As you progress through the game you get different elemental attacks. Also IIRC there are 5 levels to each magic attack and you can equip which element you want and which level you want to use as your magic attack. Each taking more magic, but doing more damage.

There may be 5 elements with 5 levels or something like that.. also it's not just about the magic, you use a sword as well if IIRC the magic is just the only thing I remember about the game.. I want to say it plays somewhat like illusion of gaia but I don't think that's it.

I'm looking for another game title in addition to the one stated a few pages ago.
A friend of mine said her friend played some sort of game that "I know you'd love, because it reminded me of the Zerg". You go from planet to planet, conquering various species, she says, and evolving along the way.
But you don't get to choose HOW you evolve. It's done automatically, so there's infinite gameplay.
No, it isn't SPORE. Because you don't evolve in that, especially after the space stage. It was something else entirely.
I think it's for PC, but that's all I can assume, since my friend isn't talking to me anymore and also never got an answer from her friend about the game title. I tried googling with no useful results.
That's not much to go by, but it could be Evolva. Basically you lead a squad of 4 genetical super soldiers who fight on various planets and absorb genetic material from their fallen foes. Through that they can evolve new traits like higher jumps or an arm that works like a flamethrower. It's a 3rd person action game mostly. I'm actually not sure if you could choose what to evolve or if it depended on what material you absorbed. There's also stuff like Gene Wars from Bullfrog or Warbreeds but those are RTS games and you can define what your creatures end up to be (Crab-O-Mule rules!). All three are good games though!

Hell all, I am new here. I Have been racking my brain for about 5 months now trying to figure out what this game was, It was a single disk game in the old cd cases (like music comes in) I played it between 2003-2007 but it could have been made a while before then (cant remember exactly when but around that time.. lol) it was an RPG you played as a young boy, with blonde or brown hair I believe, you could cast spells and what not (duh) and I remember there being a walkthrough to get a fire sword very close to the beginning of the game, you could enter caves and what not, to keep going.. the last I remember playing I was in a castle hallway environment fighting bats maybe? For some reason I was to say the games title was rather short, but I could be mistaken.

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?
Had a hard time coming up with an answer because I assumed you meant Genesis

However, what you're describing kind of sounds like Wonder Boy 3 the Dragon's Trap for the Sega Master System

The chances of someone knowing this one is probably near zero, but I'll try anyways

I played it on the PC a long time ago. Sometime in the late 90's early 00's. Came in a collection of incredibly generic games like a 3D version of the classic game of Snake. This one however stood out as pretty well polished.

It's a strategy RPG with mechs and classic grid based combat (no, it's not Front Missions). Each mech had an element that worked in the standard rock paper scissor style of weaknesses. Each time you attack, you went into a shining force style cut scene. It's hard to describe the graphics. I believe the map was 3D, and the in game cuts scenes backgrounds were 3D. But the models I think were pre rendered sprites. It's all kind of blurry.

I'm pretty sure you had multiple attacks you could do, and I THINK (could be wrong) they worked similar to the Pokémon move counter, where you can only use certain attacks a set amount of times per battle.

The main character I think was a female, and her mech was greenish. I'm pretty sure she was a fire class and used a sword. Oh, they all looked kind of like gundam mechs, a bit bulkier maybe. And if they didn't use rockets or guns, they used classic melee weapons like swords, polearms, and their fists.

I can't remember the story at all, if it even had one. I'm pretty sure it was just a constant stream of battles one after the other with no town breaks, equipment management or anything like that.

All battles as far as I can remember were fought outside on open terrain like fields and mountains, with the appropriate movement reductions applying to each type of terrain.

The title of the game might have had the word "Element" in it
Guess I'll never find out T_T

Hey guys :)
I´m looking for an old windows(98/xp) game in which u play a ball, the ball changes colour when he hits a colorchange block and then u can touch the block of the same color otherwise u would die. Somitimes there was also ice and then u couldn´t change the direction of the ball.

There were many lvl but u had to unlock them with completing the lvl before the lvl selection was also a little "lvl".
It was colorful and had perfect music ;)
I remember a skull in the main menu, which was moving around, i think it was mostly purple.


Thanks for your answer

also I seem to remember possibly fighting rats as well.

I'm looking for the name of a (kind of) educational 90s point-and-click game set in Ancient Egypt. It was released in the late 90s, possibly for Windows 95 or Windows 98. You used the mouse only to move forward / turn around, interact with objects, etc.

It told the story of the Egyptian god Set, who murdered his brother, the god Osiris, and cut him up into pieces and scattered them across Egypt and you had to explore tombs and pyramids and find them, piece together puzzles, etc.

I remember distinctly there was a pyramid building scene, and a Nile travelling scene - where your boat could eaten by a hippopotamus out of nowhere.

From memory, the game seemed to have quite advanced 3D graphics for its time. Similar to Myst in its art design, if I recall correctly. It wasn't cartoony or 2D.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi everyone.

I'm trying to remember the name of a game I played with my brothers in primary school (15ish years ago) on PC.
It's a board game similar to Monopoly where everyone chooses a character in a car. You drive around in an open world style board game map buying properties where natural disasters may occur damaging them. I remember one specific one was "Nessie" would come out of the lake and damage your property. Also I think it was kind of a race as well, yet also competitive to see who gets the most money.
If anyone have any ideas, would really help as I would like to play it again with my cousin's daughters when they're over, as I remembered it was quite and enjoyable.

Cheers

EDIT: I also remembered a character having a monocle and big mustache.
Anyone can help? i am also looking for that game ;)
I search forum but i couldnt find title of it

No one knows it? No one remember any game like that?

Greetings.
I'm wondering about a PC game from 2000s i believe.
It's quite foggy in my head but i'll try and remember, so here it goes:

You are driving a car and you have to take (I believe 3) robots from one place to their spots. While driving them in your car you have to look out not to destroy your car by running over a mine (pretty big ones as much as i remember)
The description of robots: One was tall and blue-ish i think, an made music after you'd take him to his spot, other one was grey and would shoot rockets at something when taken to his spot (i don't remember third one)

Played on Windows XP, and i believe that the desktop icon was a bee.

Any way, the car looks like an old timer which i do believe you can customize at will
Any answer?

Hi all! It really makes me mad. I can't remember the name of game. I think it was a strategy game. Some of people (maybe Russians, but maybe not) were saying "Yes boss" with a low voice, when you gave them the task. Maybe it's not old game but, damn what is it? Thanks in advance!

I am searching for a game similiar to Breakout, where you have this platform and you are supposed to destroy bricks.
What makes my search unique is that I recall the game being a Star Wars game, and possibly the platform was a retracted lightsaber (?). Also I remember that there were walls in between bricks/rectangles and if I remember right there also were teleports where your ball could go, and appear on the other side of the screen.

I am also 90% positive that this game was for PC, and published in late 90s or early 2000.

If anyone remembers this game or anything similiar to this then PLEASE let me know! Thank you very much in advance!

I need help trying to find the name of this old graphic adventure/point and click game. My memory is pretty vague, but this is what i got. I remember a boy and his dog, and the collar on the dog played a part in the game. Also in a part of the game you find yourself in a basement or a subway bathroom (not sure), and there was a bunch what looked like rebel teens/kids confronting you making sure your not part of the enemies side(i think robots). The other part I remember is that you find yourself in a cafeteria and a robot chef says to you "ya wudya want", and you have the option to choose what to say to him each resulting in a different response. I think the cover had the boy and the dog. That's all I remember sadly. If you can help me it well be greatly apprenticed. I been searching the net since 2011-2012, and can't find anything. thank you

There was a video game I played with my babysitter's sons as a kid. Around the late 90's, maybe 2000. Had to be the PS1 as
I remember playing Vigilante 8: 2nd Offense and Spyro right afterwards.

It was a space combat game. Dark colored and sci-fi. Two opposing bases that, the longer they waited, the more vehicles and weapons they could generate. Ten seconds for a canon, 25 for a tank, 60 for a special vehicle like a 'flying fortress'. It was a maze like environment, where you could set up canons along the wall of the tunnels and maze, and around bridges to take out tanks as they came towards your base.
The first one to get their tanks inside the enemy's base won. The 'flying fortress' would just fly around and destroy canons and tanks.
I think the weapons/vehicles had an electric/fire/laser thing going on. Hard to remember.

We played it just once or twice, as it wasn't that exciting for them. But I remember winning at it and loving it.
I've tried googling a multitude of terms and keywords, but nothing. And I looked, and it's not 'Future Cop'.

Any ideas?

I played a game in the late 90s or 2000-2002. In this game you started off as a muscular man who did not have much clothing except for some mail armor. You had hearts to symbolize your health, if you got hit once you lost one health. You would battle skeletons. I remember at one of the beginning zones if you did not run fast enough or jump you would fall into a crack of lava that opened up seconds before. You had a shield and a little bit longer of hair. In one of the zones you were up in the trees fighting these skeletons. Either PS1 or PS2, probably PS2.
