the game I can't remember was a competitive minigame-fest for the original xbox. I remember the challenges including colored giant hamster balls and colored tanks. It had a sequel that I think came out for the xbox 360 also.
Old Games you remember playing but can't remember the name of.

Thank goodness for this thread. Joined just to ask. NO ONE seems to even recall that a game like this even existed. I played it back when I was about 8 or 9, in school - so probably came out late 90s or earlier. I think you did typing exercises or something to reveal clues towards a mystery historical figure and if you won, they revealed the person and a few facts about their life. I remember it showed an animated version of that person kind of "hovering" in a space like background and their facts were displayed to the right of them. I know it was a computer game, obviously for typing exercises. The one person I remember learning about was Joan of Arc..and the "host" of the game who explained what to do was either Einstein or a guy that resembled him. Can't remember much else. Hope someone knows!! This has driven me crazy for years.
I have posted this this before some months ago, but i think i need to post this again, this time with more precise informations: So it is a game, I can't remember the name of, but I remember how it was: It was a turn-based game (like, for example, space empires 4) and I remember that you start from the stone age, then advance to other ages, then to contemporan age, and even further...
I hope you guys can help me...

Hello! I made an account just to access this thread. Haha.
Huge props to anyone who may be able to help me.
I'm looking for a computer game which would have been purchased physically (on a disc) in Canada in early to mid 2000's, and it would have have played on a Mac. I believe the game was intended as a children's game. It was more or less a first person point-and-click style, with 2D graphics. It had music and voice acting, though. The setting was a forest. I don't recall if the game had any particular plot, but it did have night and day features and a fairly big map. The other characters in the game were animals for the most part, with the exception of the two talking trees who existed in a clearing near water. One tree had a thick trunk and was short, while the other was tall and thin. At one point in the game an event is triggered wherein a siren appears in the lake (pond?) and sings a strange song which causes all of the characters (save the mc) to fall under a spell and be unable to move while their eyes swirled in classic cartoony spirals to indicate their confusion. She needed the player's help and would return everyone to normal if you complete a water-themed mini game to help her.
The game allowed the player to click on plants or any non-character animals to have them identified. (Eg a shrew would run across the screen and if you clicked it in time, a box saying "shrew" would appear. Clicking on characters-- who were larger and slightly more humanoid-- just caused them to talk). Speaking with one character who may have been a mole in a tree house would allow the player to play around with constellations (can't give more information on that because I barely remember it). Selecting "yes" when he asks whether the player would like to hear a story triggers another event. This time everything takes on a red and orange hue. A dragon swoops down and says he is waiting in his cave. The player must walk along a path that we have visited before, only this time most of the plant life is burned and many dead animals litter the path (it was a kid's game!). Some lay on their backs with their paws up in the air. They all had x's for eyes to indicate they were dead. One animal (a small/ mid sized mammal... Might have been a fox? An otter?) has apparently been imprisoned in a small cage and left for dead because he begs the character to go stop the dragon before it's too late so he can be released. I don't think I fought the dragon. I believe I actually asked him to... Destroy a meteor that was heading straight towards us and which would wipe everyone out? This was the only timed mission in the game, and the objective was to find the dragon before the meteor struck. If the player failed, they had to restart this segment until they eventually beat it. Only then could they return to the main peaceful game
There are other memories I have which I cannot be absolutely certain are of the same game. These include a feature where the player can set up an easel at designated areas and click "paint" to watch the computer render a painting-like image of the background. A small salamander-type reptile tended to show up when this part of the game was played. Another part which I think was in this game was an area which was usually empty in the day but where all the animals gathered at night to sit on logs and have a campfire. There was a ladybug who let the player play her keyboard.
I also think the case for this game had art which depicted an aerial view of the game's forest setting. There would have been a large tree in the centre towering above the others. The title of the game was (I think) the name of the area in which the game took place. A fantasy word. It may possibly have started with an A.

Bump... any ideas? Anyone?VlaDZ said:Hey guys, getting desperate, please help:
I remember playing this game for the PC as a kid (mid 90's, maybe?) - it was a demo so I only had access to one level, but it was a 3D game where you flew a kind of a ship, had to search for survivors and rescue them (by "teleporting" them into your ship and subsequently out of the ship into some other facility) while defending the survivors and yourself from giant insects (ants (?), wasps) and arachnids (spiders, scorpions). I think you could shoot them with...umm...lasers? The level was like a small planet, ergo, I think there were no physical limits, rather, you would just fly around the said planet in a relatively short time.
I might be mistaken about some of the above, in which case I'm sorry - I was but a kid, it was a long time ago and I didn't get the chance to play the game nearly as much as I would have liked to.
Appreciate the help
I have a game I've always wanted to find but can't.
-I always played my games with catridge so I'm almost sure it's a NES game.
-I played it around year 2003 or so.
-2d, 3rd point of view (like Mario game), I remember the played character was animal or creature (I always thought it's Pokemon but no matter how I googled Pokemon games, it did not bear any good result to me)
-The scene was in a cave or maybe dungeon, somewhere like that, there's river or drain in the cave, and the character has flame or electric power, I think its goal is to find something in the deep end of the cave.
If you need any more details please do ask. I really hope to find this game~

Hi guys, this has been bugging me no end... I am after a specific game type, but the only one i remember was for teaching us about the wwII in school (so about 1992-1996) it was like a graphical image of a street, and you could choose your *guide* i think one was a little girl, one was an old woman and one was a soldier???
It was photographic graphics, (as in still picture photos), you could ask these *guides* anything you wanted, like *how old were you when the war started/what was your job/where did you live* etc, but if you asked code breaking questions such as *what did you have for dinner last night/how old are you now/where do you live today* etc the *guides* would reply with stuff like *can you please say that again/what on earth are you talking about/what do you mean* etc
I know the above *game* was for schools, but have there actually been any *game, games* like this? available to the public? like an adventure game? the above program, when the *guides* replied, it would be in a *true voice* so the girl sounded like a girl, the soldier sounded like a soldier etc
Failing that, have there been any *create your own story/ending* type games that are similar to the above?
Thanks

Hi guys, i need help with a game i used to play and i can't remember it's title. It was a tactical fps, with 4 soldiers (a gunner, a sniper, a medic, and an engineer) witch could be alternatively controlled (or if you have died as one you would be respawned as one of the remaining alive).
I cand remember ani specific details but i think it was made by americans and about the time CS 1,6 appeared.
Can anyone help me with this one please?

Is it modern, WW2? PC, console?Ovidiu Mihailescu said:
Try to think of all the details, even if incredibly vague.
The description seems familiar enough but I cant put my finger on it.
Either way here is a list of some games that vaguely have some of those elements (mainly the "you die and keep playing with another character from the team", some clearly arent but the hell with it, you may even find something you like)
Ghost Recon
Conflict: Desert Storm
Hidden and Dangerous
Rainbow Six
Swat 3
May keep adding more as I remember
I have 2 games that are driving me NUTS. I cant remember their names but I remember them vividly! Any help would be awesome!
1st game:
Mid 90s
PC
First Person
3D
Had an FMV Sequence as an intro - very bladerunneresque
You play as some sort of Explorer flying around a ship on Mars.
You can deploy a wise cracking AI rover that you could control to enter various buildings
Time Travel plot twist
Air to air combat is involved.
Has a name similar to "Terminal Velocity". Don't count on that though....
you can accidentally rollover the rover, to which the AI berates you.
2nd Game:
Mid 90s
PC
FMV On Rail Shooter with FMV cutscenes. Including some creepy updates on the fate of other parts of the world.
Aliens are invading and sucking up people, not unlike the movie "Skyline"
One of the early levels has you flying over the backside of the Hollywood sign.
Had an interesting "lives" system in which every time you were shot down the charters would be more and more concerned about your deteriorating physical condition until they are ultimately unable to revive you.
Had a sequel.
This is my first time reaching out to people about finding these games. any Help would be great!

Hi guys,
I'm trying to recall this old game which I believe I played in the late 90s or early 2000.
I was only a kid that time but I would say the game play is like dungeon siege.
Sadly to say, I can't remember the storyline at all.
The game play:
The main character uses 2 swords if I'm not mistaken.
First range weapon you can use is a slingshot.
You defeat bosses and you gain elements to cast spells.
First element is fire and second is ice. (Don't remember anything after)
The second boss is an ice dragon if I'm not mistaken.
When you deal damage, white numbers pop up, criticals shown by red numbers.
Anyone have any idea?
Thanks!

I have two games that I can't remember and would love if someone could help me with it.
The first game I played was on PC early-mid 2000's, it was a mining/digging game and you were a minor and you had to collect a certain amount of diamonds to finish a level. You could collect boots to make you run faster through the already dug up bits and an axe to make you dig faster. You could also place TNT and blow up spaces and there were train tracks that you had to avoid getting run over by the train. And there were ghosts and skeletons and octopuses that would move around in their space that you couldn't touch.
Second game is a bubble shooter game. Also on PC and early-mid 2000's. You had to shoot the colours up on your chosen angle and they would keep moving down and once you got to the top they would shake. As you kept moving through the levels things like glue and rocks were introduced that you had to break. And I vaguely remember something to do with acorns but not 100% on that.

Ok, I have been searching for hours, and cannot find the answer at all. It's 2 games, but they are alike in nature just one is a English/word/grammar type of game, and the other was a math one. But had the same basis, of stopping the enemies on a block type board layout, using the skills set to each of the specific game (i.e. words or math) If memory serves right you character was a computer screen looking fellow, but I can be mistaken there. What I specifically remember was the word one, and tall purple, funnel like aliens that went around sucking up the city into their mouths. The Math one had (I believe)Green like computer viruses that you blocked off within the computer system. This is as much as my memory will recall. If any one can give me some direction to what these games are, it would be very appreciative.
