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

[PixleViewer]

Hello!
Okay, this may be a tricky one. I've already scoured google and cannot find a whisper about it. I'm after it to check in my nostalgia card.

It's an old PC game, some weird, creepy first-person halfbreed. Halfway between an interactive movie and a point and click adventure game. You play a boy who's brother has been poisoned by some berries he ate on a bike trip, and then one must run all over town trying to find the cure (I think it was some really pure waterfall water or some easy answer. It was filmed live-action, and was kinda creative at times.
You had a green talking skull which was as annoying as he was surprising (you forgot he was there). I think they tried for 'quirky hint machine' but got skull-Navi with 12% more jumpscare.
I remember a few of the puzzles - one was finding a way to turn on a television for your father who had something very much wrong with him. You'd click his door (by accident because you never clicked this thing more than you possibly had to) and he'd come screaming. Was not fun. I think he wistfully looks into the fuzzy screen with a face that screams axe murderer and whimpered 'The light'. I have no explanation either.
Another was on a pier of some sort. You'd walk alllll the way down (by God this game was slow) to talk to some fishing guy who new everything.
I recall a memorisation trial-and-error sort of sequence when you were put on a bike and you had to turn at the right section or you'd end up at the beginning. Again.
A lot of puzzles needed a screwdriver. Which you got from a drawer in a garage.
In my search for it, I found a game which had the same screen format - 'Rama' from Sierra (1996).
Looking something like this: http://www.sierrachest.com/gfx/games/Rama/ss/055.JPG But with less faked backgrounds and more bland everytown with an almost non-existant population.
It seemed rather old, or at least old-er fashioned, even when I was a young'n around the late 90's to 2005-ish.
Anything would help. Really. If it weren't for the confirmation of siblings I would be considering the game nonexistant.

So to list:
- PC game (at least)
- Around late 90's early 00's design
- First-Person
- Looked like 'Rama' (1996)
- Puzzle game
- Knick-Knack Skull Companion for Hints
- Poisoned Brother
- Point and Click (Maybe? It was more like... click-and-see-a-cutscene-of-a-scrawny-hand-fondle-said-object-and-make-comment.)
- Interactive movie-kinda (terrible cinematography, though)
- Batmad father
- Bicycle sequence
- Fishing guy (I'm not sure but I think he had a puzzle where you helped him catch a fish?)

Good luck! May your google searches never make you search beyond page one.
Thank you for your time.

Alright, I hope someone can help me, I've been looking for these two games and never found them, not even a single written line.

The first one is a futuristic racing game where you pilot some sort of cristal like, or at least I believe so, hover bikes. Not much to say other than most of the bikes had different color schemes, it's a racing game with a futuristic theme, you can't get more simple than that. Also, most of the racing tracks were on space stations and such.

The second one is a platforming game where you play as a red squirrel that collected nuts I believe, it had bad 3D graphics, horrendous controls and terrible camera, making it really damn hard. You started in a small platform on the ocean, and had to jump to the other platforms in front of you until you reached a bigger island that had a tower in which you had to reach the top. That's the best I could ever go because of how hard the game was due to the camera and the controls.

Much appreciated to anyone who can give me the name of those games.

For the first, have you tried the Jet Moto series?

for example

Jet Moto 3 (1999)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wp8IdiZyjTs

there are 3 in the series with many different stages on each of them.

It's not Jet Moto.

Sooo.. I have two games I'm looking for?

First one is one my husband remembers from being a kid.
- Black and white
-Snes or Sega
- first person view
- going through maze/ dungeon
- monster would pop up and you would fight it.
I have already asked and gone through everything I can think of, and it is NOT Dragon warrior/Quest, any of the ultimas, wizardry, zelda, gauntlet legends, please help!

Second game is for myself. My friend sent me a rom of a game when I was a teen and I would love to know the name as it seems to have disappeared from the face of the earth.
- Main character is an anthropomorphic wolf in green armor and uses an ax
- for either Nes, Snes, or Sega
- Exodus Ultima kind of graphics
- All the characters are animals
- The fighting system was kinda unique with uses like a pie chart?
- there were multiple towns, but they were far between.

Any help with either of these would be great?

#1: Shining In The Darkness? (SEGA) ( http://www.giantbomb.com/shining-in-the-darkness/3030-15684/images/ )
or Arcana (SNES) ( http://www.giantbomb.com/arcana/3030-8765/images/ )

He says those are closer to how the fights looked then the games I suggested, but it still isn't the game he's looking for.. Thank you though.

Not a whole lot of info to go on. I only played the game for like 20 minutes or so when I was around the age of 7 or 8 in the early '90s.

- Not sure of the Console, but it was either NES, SNES, or SEGA (think it was NES).
- Protagonist was a Japanese girl who was transported to a fantasy realm.
- Think she was transported into a tower or something.
- RPG
- You start out at lvl 0 and can go all the way to lvl 100.
- I remember that it was pretty difficult at the beginning due to starting off at lvl 0 and having nothing.

Hello!

I have been tearing my hair out trying to find out the name of this game. I recall playing it when I was little (About 10, maybe?) and I rented it several times from the game store but I never beat it! It is for Nintendo 64 and you have the choice of playing as a boy or a girl character, and each has a sort of different storyline that I believe merged together.

All I remember about the gameplay (because it was limited, I got lost after a point because I didn't really understand the nature of RPG games) is that the girl character in the beginning finds a Frying Pan or some other cooking utensil as a weapon. It really seems like it was a frying pan because I believe they may have been fried eggs in it. Maybe it was called 'skillet' or something instead, hm... It is NOT Conker's Bad Fur Day, I have never played that game.

Some point shortly after the beginning (On the male's storyline, I think) there is a scene at/outside of a castle. I thought the game was Castlevania but after looking up Let's Plays of it, it is not Castlevania 64. I was so excited because I thought I had found it but nope! It is really gnawing at me because I'm a bit of a completist and I really want to complete this game! I don't like leaving games unfinished.

To recap (so you don't have to read the above paragraphs!) here's what I DO know:

- Is Not Conker's Bad Fur Day or Castlevania 64
- Is for Nintendo 64
- You have the option to play a female or male character and they have different storylines that at some point may have intersected
- The female character finds a Frying Pan/Skillet weapon sometime in the beginning of the game (In wreckage of a house, I believe)
- It is an RPG
- It may have begun with the letter F or P, or had something to do with stories/fairytales/myths?
- There was something on the cover that drew me to it - it could have been a werewolf or some other furry critter.

So I come to you, Escapists! Do any of you know the game I'm referring to?

I pretty much registered here solely for the purpose of posting in this topic.

This has been bothering me for YEARS and this seems like the best place to ask.

About 16 or so years ago I bought a game for my Playstation 1 that I CANNOT remember of the name of. It was one of those campy, live-action games that dissolved into animation, and was about a woman whose father was a scientist. At the start of the game there's some freak accident in his lab and she nearly dies, and in order to preserve her body he has to keep it in this liquid chamber. She turns into this half-woman half-alien-creature-thing with silver hair and silver armor. In order for her to stay alive she has to eat human organs.

I'm not sure if the game took place in some post-apocalyptic-type place or what but as this woman, you basically go out and shoot stuff and eat their organs to replenish health.

The back of the game had this quote like "Daddy's little girl is out to save the world" or something like that.

Any ideas?

Hey everyone! Like a lot of people, I registered to post here, and I'm not even sure this is the right forum haha.. I apologize if it's not!!

I'm looking for the name of an irl game I remember playing when I was around 7 or 8 years old (1993-1994ish) with a friend. It was kind of like a board game, but it was more of a game of pretend. I'm not sure if it had come out that year or earlier.

There were, I think, five plastic hearts, and each one granted you different "powers", depending on what color it was. I remember a clear heart, according to the instructions, gave you the "power of invisibility for one minute". The goal of the game was to either find treasure or rescue someone, I don't remember which.

You could wear the hearts as a necklace. If anyone knows it, I'd greatly appreciate it, and thank you ^.^;

[muffins4all]

okay I've been trying to remember this game for about 18 years if someone can help me remember it i would be most grateful, but my memories of it are very vague.

It was more than likely a game on the sega genesis, but could have been on NES although not likely. All I remember is that it was a first person shooter, and you walk through levels shooting things that may have been aliens. I'm pretty sure that there was no way to save the game because every time my dad would play it he would have to start over. He might have just not known how to save the game though. I remember that eventually he got to the "basements" which was apparently really hard to do. The environments were very bleak and I remember a lot of blue tint.

I played this game when I was about 4 or 5 years old so I barely remember anything, I may not even remember the title if someone says it but I would certainly remember screenshots or video game play. Any help would be appreciated!

[olisteve]

Hi guys, just woke up thinking about this game can't remember which brought me here.

So the game I played it around 10 years ago on my playstation 2.

The game ein my memory serves me right goes like this :

You are a man in a spaceship with your friend and another of your friend in another spaceship. Either your spaceship or your friend's crashed into this planet you were passing by and you have to go and get it him. So on the planet you try to locate your friend. Upon scouting the planet there are these strange animals you have to kill and you find a civilisation about to kill one of their own (I think). You then save her and she follows you. She is a witch and use spells and power while you have different guns. As you progress through the every long gameplay, you end up being a group of four persons. I don't remember if you can play with the other humans, but at some point you play the woman having powers and use spells, then comeback to the man and again control the woman. Of course they fall in love later on.

Thing in the game with significance:

-At one point she transform you into one of those monsters and you can control him. You eat the enemy to gain back health and you are quite strong. You can throw enemies at other enemies and do other stuffs.
-the gameplay is really really long
-only when you control the woman you can do spells and have many weapons with the humans
-the humans have jetpacks which can elevate them to a limit and then it recharges. It is really helpful to navigate
-I think the woman's father is the chief and the antagonist
-when you meet with some of your friends they follow you and support you in battle but I am not sure you can just choose who to play as. The game does it for you when they go for different missions.

Those are all the things I can remember, maybe the story is not precise but it is similar. This is my second time attempting to find this game. So hopefully this time you guys will help me find it this time. Thanks for making it to the end of this post and straining those nerves and memory to help me find the name of this game. I really enjoyed this game when small of not it was my best ps2 game I played.

[elw0918]

PC Game

Little man is the character
Movement using the arrow keys
You can push items in the game to avoid obstacles (push a block in front of arrows that come out of a wall)
You had to avoid obstacles that tried to kill you along the way
Puzzle-like (I believe you just tried to move around on the screen until you get to the goal on the same screen)
You start at the bottom of the screen and the goal was to get to a certain point on the top
You could walk around the whole screen. No jumping from platforms or such
I took some time to finish a level
