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

[Bldhny2002]

Hi!

Created an account just so someone could help me out!
It's a game a few yeas old - either on the iPad or PS2/Xbox? I can't remember the platform. BUT!
It was a musical game in a similar vein to Flower. It was simply animated with a white background and you were a dot or flower bud or something like that and you woke up sleeping dots/flower buds and they jumped and opened up vines to access more of the level.
You could fight a boss, too and I remember something like an vine/flower octopus? and you threw your dot/flower bud friends at it.

Game was super cute and simple and such.

Help!

There was this one game I played around 8 to 10 years ago. All I remember is that you take control of a robot, like you possess it. There are multiple robots in the map(I don't know if there are multiple maps) and you can choose from any of them. I believe the point of the game was to kill the other player since all my friend and I did was play multiplayer. I remember there being an OP robot that could jump really high or it could fly for short distances. It was either on the N64 or playstation because it had those type of graphics. If you could help me out, that would be awesome. Thank you!

Edit - Nevermind! I found it! Turns out, the graphics were better than what I remembered because it was on the PS2. It was Metal Arms: Glitch in the System. I don't know if it was 1 or 2 (I think it was 1), but I'm happy just to know which game it is. Thank you anyways for your help!

Hi, from Czech Republic.
About 20 century ( + - 3 years maybe )I played a strategy game, but I can't remember the name. Can you help me, please?
One clue is, that you have to build by a dozer, but it isn't a Command and Conquer. There wasn't infantry.
You were fighting with many tanks, airplanes and maybe ships. There were defense towers too. I remember that I builded a large cannon on rails. By the dozer, you can build factories for tanks, towers, airports and so on.
Does anyone know what it might be?

I'm not sure, but maybe it's one of the Arsenal games

I'm trying to remember a game I use to play in school. It was a computer game. Basically your character's is gathering things as he makes his way through a tropical or jungle like terrain. So lots of huge flowers. Not many trees from what I remember. I think he's trying to fix something, like a machine or his ship. He's trying to get past creatures that might be genetically modified or aliens? The bag you had was like a grid so you could pick up anything as long as you have the space in your bag...

I used to play a game that had little circle people who fought. You could use a nuke, darts, and many other things. You could have fought in levels like space, a swamp and one called dynasty. It was on addicting games.

The only memory I have is watching my dad play it on his computer in the late 90s. It was a side-scrolling game in which you controlled a yellow submarine (NOT The Yellow Submarine). Sometime a dolphin swam by with an oxygen tank strapped to it's back to refill your meter.

Hello there,
I'm looking for an old PC game/demo that I used to play around the early 2000's.

- 2D grid block-based, very colorful platformer/action/puzzle game.
- You control a purple/pink guy who DIGS certain blocks (and gains points for them). Some blocks are solid and can't be dug through. There were usually multiple blocks of the same kind (same color and picture) clumped together.
- You can move sideways but I can't remember if you can move up/down. Anyway, if you move towards a diggable block, you'll consequently dig through it and it will disappear, creating an empty space.
- There are enemies in the game. I think the goal of each level is to reach the finish or something like that.
- I remember there was a "circus"-themed/named level.
- I don't know why but I remember the game title being somewhat similar to "DROBLE" or "GOOBLE" or "DOBLER". I might be far off, since I was very small when I played this game.

Thanks in advance.

Hi all,

I used to play an old game on Windows 98 PC. In that game, you are presented with a 2D map with a fixed number of slots to build. You can either build structures that generate money or build offensive structures (missiles). When attacking, you can choose to either attack their HQ or their offensive structures. The winning condition is to reduce their HQ's health to zero before they do so to you.

The game has a password system that allows you to jump to any level you want. Each password consists of several phonetic alphabet. I still remember one of them as "Bravo Bravo Tango".

If you can tell me what the game is, it would be very appreciated.

Thank you.

Okay, so It's been so freaking long I can't hardly remember anything about this game.
From what I remember, it was on the PC. It was a side scrolling game sort of like Prince of Persia, set in middle ages. I remember that the main character goes to the sewers of the city, where he encounters puddles of slim on the ground, they's extend a tentacle of slime and attack the player (I believe he's armed with a dagger), and if you tried to jump over them, they'd extend to the roof, engulfing you, stay there for a moment, then sink back to the ground revealing a pile of your bones. Additionally, there were crushing ceiling traps, pitfalls, and other things... I think that the character's health is indicated with clovers? Also, a line at the end of the game sticks out in my head, where the villain says "Prepare to Die" and your character, snarky as he is says "Oh, prepare to die yourself."

These are the only details about this game I can remember.

*EDIT* I have been googling the hell out of this for three months. You guys are my last hope.

Bumping again. Please help me guys, I can't even sleep anymore

Noone knows this game, or i dont rememger it good enought?

I looking for old game.
I think its hack and slash
as far as i remember you was killing orcs(i think that was orcs), and some kind of beast who jumps on you(i think they was walking on hands, didnt had legs, and had tail. They was similar to one of dead space monsters type) via sword, who invaded you village and killed everyone, and after that you travel further.
I played female charakter, its possible that you cant choose your sex, you are female protagonist
Inventory works like in diablo or MU games(but without picture of you self, where you put your armors - body, helmet etc.)
Health bar looked also similar to those games.
Somehow that game reminds me RUNE, but thats not rune since it had inventory.
Drops are very rare, played for few hours, till finally found a better sword. Well its actualy not drops i guess since slain monsters didnt had items(i dont remember if you could loot them for like health potions or something, but they definitely didnt had weapons on theyr bodies)

Okay this drives me crazy for a long time now.
The game I'm remembering was a car related SNES game. Unlike most of the car games back then, it wasn't driving races on tracks, it was more like a stock car pit fighting thing.
You could choose between like 10-15 different characters, all with their specifications (concerning weapons, health and stuff). I'm not quite sure what the goal was, but I think you had to bump enemy cars off the edge of the "map". Or destroy them somehow.

The characters were mostly not-human, if I remember correctly, but I know I found them hilariously funny back then when I was like 8yo. So maybe they had funny quotes or appearance, I don't really know...
I checked all the lists of car related SNES games I could find, without results. A friend of mine told me you could obtain a trophy in one of the SSB games, that would resemble a character of said game, but I couldn't find anything.

As I said, I checked a lot of lists, so I know it's not Battle Cars. And all the other car games I found where racing simulations, whereas my game isn't a simulation at all.
So maybe someone remembers it, since it's obviously quite unknown. Please, I want to know the name of that game. Maybe it's not even funny anymore, but I just need clarity.

Bump.
And I remember another game. It was kinda like Heroes of Might and Magic (an early one, like 2 or 3), but I swear it's none of them. Does someone know another game series similar to HOMM?

It wasn't Rock n Roll Racing?

This is a tough one. Been searching Google for hours and haven't turned up a result so I'm caving in and asking you guys.

The game I'm thinking of was released between 1996 and 1999. Can't remember if it was CD or Floppy, but it ran on Windows (PC).

The character has a baseball hat and a dog he has with him. The plot of the game goes like this:

- Dumped at grandparent's house/farm by his mom.
- Meets his grandfather.
- Grandfather shows the birthday cake he made which he spent hours on.
- Boy's dog eats the birthday cake and now the boy is in a total state of panic.
- Gathers cake ingredients only to find there are no eggs.
- Chases after a chicken across the entire farm in order to complete the cake in time before his grandfather notices.



I particularly remember a number of scenes involved real images for the backgrounds with the cartoon characters over it. It played like an RPG and it was easy to screw up. There were also one or two sequel games out (I believe one of which involved bank robbers or criminals in a building which the boy and dog is following).

EDIT: A post on page 184 by WHRM3 has a question that describes this game as well, but it never received a reply. It mentions the boy is from a big city (possibly Chicago) and his dog (possibly a bloodhound) is named Blue.


Anybody remember the series or game?

HI, i've been looking for one of my childhood games for the last couple of years and can't remember the name of it and was hoping some of you might be able to help me find it. The game was played in the 90's to early 2000. Although i was to little to get very far in it, i do remember the opening scene. The game is a cartoon based game about a boy and girl(brother and sister maybe) who are walking along a path in the woods and one of them gets kidnapped. You watch a little video of the brother or sister being brought into a house, up to a bedroom and the kidnapper and the kidnapee jump into a picture on the wall. You, as the character have to go after the sibbling and try to rescue them. I remember the scene where your in the bedroom and you have to find a way into the picture on the wall. theres a blue ladder leaning against the wall, which you use to climb into it and enter the world inside the picture.
Im really hoping that theres enough information that someone might recognize it with. thank you

anyone?

A bit late but it is called Twins in Trouble. my fave game growing up

I've been trying to remember an old computer game that I played on a PC back in the 80s (poss early 90's). Now all I can remember is that it was set in a kingdom (possibly magical) and I remember hanging around in a garden visiting various different rooms in the castle. I may have even had to collect herbs etc for potions. It's so vague but maybe someone will know. I know for sure it wasn't Kings Quest (I did play that on the Master System but that was a lot later on) and I'm sure it was a first person viewpoint to the thing.

Any help?

Cheers
Emjay

P.S. I seem to remember there being puzzle games within the main game as well?

Right, I have been trying to think of a name of a game for a while but have had no luck.
This game was for the ps1 I believe, I used to play it when was very young, about 4 or 5 maybe with makes this game a 90's game. The game was all about planes in aerial combat. It was a birds eye view of the battle and you were constantly flying forwards. it had a space invaders feel to it. the planes you used to be able to pan at all had different fighting styles and they all had a cool special ability when you built up enough points. The hole mechanic of the game was that you shot at planes coming the towards you (so from the top of the screen and down.)
Any help with this would be appreciated.
