I'm trying to identity a game I played some time in the '90s.

It was a PC game, and I believe it was on Windows 95 or 98. It was basically a turn-based war game, viewed top-down, played on 9 little islands, set in the 3 rows and 3 columns. I think there might have been some grid squares with sea only.

You could play against 3 (at the most) computer opponents (possibly other human users too, though I can't remember for sure), where each player started in a corner of the map, which was fixed - no scrolling or fog of war. You won by capturing the enemy's home island, by simply having more of your units (or at least those of higher values) in their island grid square. On the way there you could capture enemy units by having more units or higher total units value in a grid square.

Possible units were soldiers, ships and planes. Units could be merged to form higher value units. For example, 2 or 3 little soldiers merged to form a big one, and the same for planes and ships.

Animation was extremely limited. Unit movement was basically drag and drop. The soldiers' feet might have moved. And there was some smoke and explosions as the battles where resolved for each grid square at the end of each turn.

Possibly the game might have been around when games like Doom, Heretics and the old Castle Wolfensteine were being played.

Found it!!! It's called Power. Forgot it had tanks too!

Bumping again to find this game. It's driving me crazy.

Some details may be off, but I believe this was the case: I think it was on an OS from the 90's, pretty sure some version of Windows. You played as someone (I think it was a skeleton, but I could be mistaken... Maybe a knight?), and you swung what I recall to be a mace around you to kill enemies. I think it was also in a bird's eye view, showing you a top down perspective. There were levels to the game, and I believe you proceeded by killing all the enemies. The way you attacked was by spinning your character around, thus spinning your weapon around. This is all that I remember of the game.

Hi. I'm looking for this game for the past years, so please...

There was a guy on this thread that asked for the same game, but wasn't answered, then I'll use his information as well, as I cannot remember much of this game.

I swear in my mind that it was a point-and-click, but this guy remembered otherwise.

It was from the 90's, PC, the protagonist was female, she invaded a mansion. In the beginning, you had to hide her in the closet because a guy was coming. If he found her, she was put out, and then game over.

If you hide her in the closet, she explored the mansion after the guy was gone. I remember that I was stuck in a puzzle not long after, something like statues on a room that shoot red lasers (what) and you could move them, to point the laser somewhere else.

There was something about a wine cellar, an old woman in it, and a sound of a crying baby.

The guy on this thread also added that he thinks that this game is vampire-themed.

The game I am trying to remember was a children's game, and the main screen had a big ginger cat. the game had a few mini games in it like guiding a frog through a maze set to the music of a popular nursery rhyme. It wasn't the playroom. I thought it was just called 'preschool' or something but I can't find it. I think it had like a forest scene where you had to find objects. Any ideas? Thanks

So I remember playing a PC game, I want to say it was the mid to late 90s. It was a fantasy setting, and you had a certain number of points to create an army. The units, if I can remember, were some monsters like skeletons or goblins, and some humans. I specifically remember there being a unit called Journeyman. In any case, you would pit your army against I think 3 others at the same time, and they'd all crash together and you'd watch the battle play out. I remember when units died, their body parts would roll across the battlefield too. The battlefield itself was green around the sides with a muddy pit in the middle. I think there may have been something in the middle you were all aiming for too. It was a top down view.

Anyone have any ideas?

Hey Guys, I'm a bit new here, but i was wondering if any of you could help me. I used to have a free trial to a PC game around 2004-6 and it was basically like this:
1. A strategy game (maybe RTS?)
2. Set in feudal/ancient China
3. had similar building mechanics to SimCIty, as in roads and houses, but had the resource dependence of Age of Empires
4. you built things like Ceramics/Pottery and Kiln buildings or Towers or farms
5. building interface was in squares, everything was in a grid.
6. theoretically there were enemies i was supposed to defeat and i could build military buildings,(never really got to it since the trial-version rules severely limited what you could do)

Please help!


ANy ideas?

-thanks!

This has been driving me nuts!
So it was a demo on a PS1 demo disc and the game was very pretty and colorful. You had the choice of either playing as a girl or a boy. The girl had chakram like weapons and she could cast magic and the boy could turn into animals. Going along you encounter a girl being attacked by two men and when you apprehend them, they have pretty foul language. You fight them and beat them. You can climb up a really long staircase up to a house/shop thing in the sky where you fight a giant beast, and this is where the demo ends. The style is a bit like Final Fantasy or kingdom hearts, but its a pretty old demo, maybe 2000, 2001? Very colorful. Please help thanks!

I've been trying to find this game for a while now, it was a vertical shoot em up that i remember playing on the ps1.

You could choose the plane you started (there was maybe 8 or 9 planes to choose from), and each plane had it's own powers, for example, there was one with lasers, and when you filled up the special bar he had one big laser engulfing almost the whole screen for a few seconds. There was another that shot a missile and the explosion would stay in the area for a few seconds too.

It also had co-op on campaign, because I remember playing it with a friend of mine.

If anyone could help me that'd be awesome, thanks!

(It's not Fable)I played this game on my PC back in 2007, I think. I bealive the game starts inside of the house, where there's main character and his mother. His steps were loud. I think he had like a cape or something like that on his back. The house is in some village you can talk to people and do things for them. There was a woman in the village holding a bucket of apples or flowers.There was some old guy's (probably uncle's) house which was locked at the beggining but later I manage to enter his house and I find noone inside of it. I remember that i wasn't allowed to leave the village so I had to sneak by the guard and there was like a cutscene for that. Then I play in some different village. I think it's played from the birds view.

The weapon-spinning mechanic reminds me of Deadly Rooms of Death (DROD).

Hey Guys. I vaguely remember playing a side-scrolling type of pc game where you were this jungle/cave(?) man with a bat and had to jump around (like over things and stuff) and keep moving forward. You could also collect food (I remember there were these chunks of meat). I know what i'm saying isn't much and there prolly are a lot of these kinds of games, but I just can't find it. The game is pretty old, that i can tell. I played it in 2002-2003(?), but im sure it came out earlier. I was like 5 when i last played it therefore I don't know (can't remember) more about the game. And for some random reason i started thinking about the game and can't seem to get it out of my head :D

If you guys could help me that would be great.

There's a game I had on PC when I was a kid. Windows 98 was what I was running.

It was a side-scrolling beat em up with hand-drawn art. It had a medieval theme, and I remember one of the characters was named Azrael. I remember that one of the drops from enemies or barrels was whole roasted chickens.

Does anyone know what game that is?
Azrael's Tear? [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azrael's_Tear]

http://www.old-games.com/screenshot/1209-9-azrael-s-tear.jpg
Not at all. Again, it's a side-scroller beat em up not a first person rpg.
Side scroller with Chickens in barrels, this one must be Golden Axe.

This one may be a tuffy as my memory is spotty at best. It was an old Apple Macintosh game. Black and white (although could have just been the schools black and white monitor). Ate up an entire floppy disk for memory. Was a first person space game with aliens. If you shot and missed an alien you would shoot a hole in the ship and depressurize it and die. I seem to remember a persons name being spanner o'toole and being able to build a flamethrower. It was NOT Aliens from 1982.

Help me!
Bump.

The game was, I think a RPG and it was in 3D, but instead of people there were balls of different colour. I think you played a green ball or something. I dont remember much detail, but I think one ball wore a cowboy hat and had a shotgun. The combat was as I remember turn based and you could move on like a grid or something or attack. Maybe the title had the word world in it, but Im not sure. Can anyone remember a game like that? Thanks in advance.
