Been trying to find this one for ages but don't have much to go on.

I think it was around windows 95 era, it was an educational kids game with a few different mini-games.
What I remember is it had an Anagram game, a game involving naming shapes(up to maybe 10 sided shapes) and a few others. The theme of the anagram game was Aztec i think. But 2 things i distinctly remember above all. There was some kind
of dragon/dinosaur character who acted as sort of a guide, and the last game involved a roller-coaster. You had to
help the dragon/dinosaur get to the end by increasing and decreasing his speed at different points. If he went too fast he
would fly off the track on corners. If he went too slow he wouldn't make it up the slopes. It means a lot to me to find
this game as it was on my dads computer back then and unfortunately he isn't around anymore to ask him. Any help would
be greatly appreciated.

ok so looking for this old robot game, heres what i remember when you start the first mission(ive only played the demo) you start with a single robot with a claw that you can see at the top of the screen and you have to go and find a black box and bring it to a certain place, the second mission after you land on this place that has giant ants around, the robots back have a battery that you will need to replace otherwise you will run out of power. this is literaly all i remember i hope someone can find it, it was a pretty cool game and the title screen was like a circut board thingy i think where you could hear sparks not sure if you could accualy see them.
also i do remember getting this game from mofunzone but i cant look again since its changed
also also i do remember you could create structures with the robots like a factory to make new robots and a recharge station for said batterys you could swap between robots if you had more than one

Hello everyone :D I've been thinking about a game lately and i cant seem to remember its name.. I played it on my pc. All i remember is you were a human in space and you had to shoot aliens. It was a 3rd person shooter. The 1st level i remember was when you were falling down and you had to dodge rockets or something.. YOu played as 3 characters as far as i remember. You played as a human (with dark blue suit), Dog (on 2 legs) and a Professor.. I remember that when you were a professor you had to find your gun pieces and a somewhat blowing machine was made.. thats pretty much all D:. Please help.

I have a game that I've been looking for, for years! I can see what it looks like in my head but I can't think of the name of it for the death of me. It's a PC game, I want to say it's in the 90's, but I'm not sure. You play as a little boy with ginger hair and the game is in cartoon style. You live in a big house mansion with other different type of people, it's like a big apartment house of some sort. With plenty of weird characters. You start off going to the kitchen because it's diner time, but your older sister says that the diner menu is missing and you need to go find it somewhere in the house. From going to room to room and picking up things and solving puzzles to get different things in return for other things you get deeper into the house is the main point to the game. That's all I can remember. I do remember certain things about certain rooms. I remember you having to do a puzzle in the bathroom with boats and try to make sure your boat doesn't sink. I remember having to get something from a soda machine. Getting milk from a cow that was in the kitchen, literally in the fridge. Lol. There was a certain room that you couldn't get into unless you had a vip pass. This was my favorite game to play as a kid, and I really want to remember what it is called so I can find it and buy it.

I've already posted this, but the forum wasn't that active when I posted so now I'm hoping someone can help me please.

There are three other games that I can't remember the name of.

The first one was a PC game. I played all of these games in the late 90's so I don't recall when they might have been released. This game was actually a Dorling Kindersley education game but I don't know which one it is. I remember playing a bunch of mini games where you would learn about lots of different things about animals and places. It's sad that I can see these images in my head but I can't seem to describe them.

The second is also a pc game. It's actually a game meant for younger kids but I always found it fun. All I can remember if this part where you are in a cafe and you are surrounded by exotic animals. Like lions and elephants and giraffes. You had little things you had to do. I believe it's a point and click game.

The last game is also a pc game. It was a strange educational game. It was about science and I remember you had to make molecules and play strange lab games. It was sort of dark and eerie but in a good way. I think the game was either in a facility or a tree house. Those are two separate places, I know, but my memory isn't that great.

Any information anyone has would be helpful!

Bumping.

Platform: PC
Release date: late 1990's or early 2000's, most likely
Info: I used to watch my dad play, so I only remember bits and pieces of it, but what I do remember was that it took place in a dome that I think they kept criminals in and they build little societies (there was a new city and an an old city and one that was all nature aligned and things) and I think it played kind of like neverwinter nights, but I also remember it being 3d-ish (for that era) but I could also be mashing two games together now and it's making me crazy because I can't find any proof that this game ever existed. Help me .__.

Also I do recall at one part a guy keeps following you around and asks if he's annoying you every few steps.

A PS1 game where you are a ball rolling around a set of cubes in the sky. Your view is rotated forwards if you roll off a ledge, and you simply roll onto the adjacent face of the cube you are on. You can be impaled by spikes, fall off the world, or be captured by something colourful. I remember the company making it having 'AB Sweden' or 'Sweden AB' after its name. I think the game has 'World' in its name.
Pretty sure that's Kula World

Hello everyone, I played this (8 or 16 bit) game 10-12 years ago, you play a ~4 inch tall man(in my head it was batman, I'm pretty sure he had a cape) its a sidescroller, there was 2 player co-op, P1 was blue or purple, P2 was red or orange, the first level is in a kitchen, you fight enemies, at some point you have to get across the flames of a stove, and i think there's a level in the sewer, and a level where you have to climb a fence while fighting enemies. There's a level where you jump around on girders fighting something that i think looked like a flying lion. Please help me if you can. I'm 89% sure I'm not making this up.

If anyone can answer this question for me you will finally put my mind to rest after years of on/off hunting...

I was very young when I last played this games so I can remember only a few details..

I used to have a PC game that was on a floppy disk, along with a series of other random arcade style games. The one in particular that I am interested in hunting down was a game where you had a birds eye view of a 2D grid-like area. You were a blue(i think) tank like vehicle. You could shoot bubbles out of your tank but could also change your weapon based on what you picked up (I think bombs & missiles were among these weapons)

I can remember the movement of the game well. Once you hit one of the arrows to move in that direction, all enemies on the map also moved one square. They could not move until you moved, so essentially you could say it was turn based.

Oh and also I think they were occasionally treasure chests on the map that you could open if you had collected a key.

That is all I can remember.

PLEASE SOMEONE FIND THIS GAME.

Hello guys.
I remember playing this game during the early 2000's or so. The game itself maybe older. It involves a man and his mom I think. The guy goes to the forest to collect something(Firewood maybe?) but when he comes back his house will be on fire and his presumed mom dead. After that he tries to find what happened. The words Silk/Milk/Wood come to my mind when I think about the name of the game. Any help is greatly appreciated. Oh and there will be silvery huge cockroache like things that we have to kill throughout the game.
Thanks :)

It's for the PC by the way. :)

I've played SuperTux 2 recently, and I've looked at screenshots of SuperTux, but it just seems different. The graphics were in a lower resolution. I have, however, immediately noticed extreme similarities between SuperTux (and 2) and the game I was refering to. I also remember that one featuring snowboarding, skateboarding, a snow world, a desert world and a factory world. It had MIDI music and the type of loading screen that I've seen in many other games which were made in YoYo GameMaker (an image in the middle of the desktop). I think the game had all the words in the title beginning with the same letter. As SuperTux is free, I'll try it out and see if the game I'm looking for is a clone.

Ohh, then I think it's Penguin Panic. http://sandbox.yoyogames.com/games/28-penguin-panic Although that game doesn't have any music, so I could be mistaken, but from what you are describing, this could be it.

Does anyone remember that that free online, open-world, tank game where each player could pick one of 4 colors (blue, red, purple. orange? It was hosted on one of those free flash-based game sites, "freearcade" or something. It had top-down, real-time, turn-based game play (basically it would queue up commands and then execute them 1 at a time in the order they were received, but there were no "rounds". There was a forum where players could organize raids and teamfights or whatnot because there was no in game chat and there was military rankings (pvt, corp, sgt, lieut, maj, col, general). You had to pick up fuel to keep moving and could pick up weapons (enhanced radar, shields, missiles, dual shot) and could build a base with your allies by moving stones around to create a blockade.

It was ton of fun and super popular in its heyday (early 2000's). It's been taken down for a while I know, but I just want to look up images and/or forums that discuss it if there are any around. I looked it up years ago and saw some talking about a re-make but I just can't find anything now. Help!

Oh, thank goodness for this thread! For YEARS I have been searching for a game I always played on my childhood computer.You played as a little mouse running around through space. There were various enemies around each level and little green aliens scattered about. while dodging and killing enemies with various items and powerups, you had to get to each alien. once you touched an alien it would start following you. You could also get large trails of aliens following you at once. If you were hit by an enemy while aliens are following you the aliens would scatter and run away. The goal of each level was to take all the aliens back to your spaceship. Any idea what game this is? It's been driving me crazy!

BUMB AGAIN!
please someone help me :-( i never got any answer, please be patient and read, someone out there MUST have played this game, i cannot be the only one lol XD

i have an hard game to remember. it was an ms-dos game, i remember i was playing it together with Electro Body (Electro Man), so it could be in the '90-'92 about; electro body was a Shareware version, so i don't know if this one was a demo version or whatever else.

there is a name floating in my mind for this game: "Phyrian...Phyxian..." i tried searching for it, but didn't find any result. maybe the name is wrong or partially wrong :-(


i'll try to describe what i remeber of this game:

before starting,there is a short intro video/animation only showing a guy with a jetpack crashing in a sand desert (you only hear the sound of the crash), and there is a cave entrance in the sand if i remeber well.
this guy seems to be the protagonist, and it wears an orange/yellow sand suit (maybe space suit) with helmet of same color.
you start the FIRST LEVEL in a kind of underground tunnel, armed with a gun (unlimited) that was firing white rectangular thin shoots, and a sort of grenade launcher(limited) that was firing a circular red grenade. i remember there were 2 indicators, one for the health and one for the grenade ammos.

you have to proceed among this tunnel moving to the right.
you see a kind of blue pattern on the ground (like a line on the ground), and mountains on the background above the tunnel.
there is a point where the blue pattern is interrupted and you are not able to proceed; you have to shoot in some way the mountains in the up background to provoke a kind of collapse, then the blue pattern is restored and you can pass over, i remeber you can do it either with the gun (with time) and the grenade launcher (instantly).

the enemies you encounter on this level are a kind of green/blue small floating things. you can easily get rid of them by not moving at great velocity.
you end the level just by going straight to the right.


in the SECOND LEVEL, the background changes totally too, this new area was like a inner base/laboratory/whatever similar.
you move by walking, no more jetpack, and if i remeber well you wear a totally different suit; but you keep the same weapons, plus you have a kind of grabbing hook that you use to reach upper platforms (a very uncomfortable tool).


i remember that the moving was like a shit (for a child like i was, at least). no running, only slow walking.
jumping was frustrating...you could only perform small jumps (up, or at right/left direction) and you could not correct it while performing it, like: you've pressed jump on that direction? now wait only to land/crash on whatever you find.
..... well yes, a lot similar to Electro Body. coincidence?

on the floor, at the start, you find a pile of explosive barrels and more of the them commonly in the ground.
getting in touch/landing on one of those barrels meant insta-death, so you had basically to shoot them to clear the road.
you find walking/shoooting enemies with human resemblance, they shoot like red shoots that you can hardly avoid by timing jumping.
there could be a monitor/computer somewhere that you could interact to do something, maybe just to get informations, i don't really remeber.

then, on the upper platforms that you can reach with the hook, i remember you encounter big eggs, releasing a flying enemy, like a winged devil (maybe green), that was hard to get rid of.
moving to the right, from platform to platform, i remeber having found an area with a kind of floppy disk on the ground, and 3 or more surveillance cameras shooting at you. i remember you could collect the floppy, but every time you got it, it felt on the ground (frustrating !!!).
instead, if you moved to the top-left, you found another area with a kind of parked small navicel with the shape of an Ufo and a violet color (maybe).

i never was able to end this level. never realized what i had to do. maybe taking the floppy disk to the navicel? boh!


any help is appreciated ! THANK YOU !

When I was little, I was playing a computer game that now I do not remember how is called and I'm looking to find the game title. The game was a guy with blue hair that had several missions in many places, such as in the snow with icebergs around. Also on another mission was to an exotic place that fighting pirates used swords to defeat the pirates, who were his enemies.The game was adventure! If anyone knows the title of this game, please answer me. :)

OH MYGOD I AM DEAD PLEASE HELP
Okay, these two games are really old and its killing me to forget what they were. The first one I don't remember anything except at the beginning there was a young boy sleeping and then he got sucked into his record player and went into a whole new world. That game was really fun, but its not that important compared to the next game. For the next game, I remember there was an orange robot that helped you choose out a room, and the room could have any theme, like medieval or natural. Afterwards, you picked out furniture to decorate it, ad I remember there was more to it, but I don't remember what the extra stuff was. I think the game had 3D graphics, and its not Microsoft BOB. If anyone can help, thanks so much! They were also both PC games, if that helps.
