ive been browsing this thread for ages, finding old games and playing them as well, but theres still 2 games ive yet to find, hopefully someone here will know.

the first game i know was for the pc, its was an rts style game, i remember when the campaign started you got a choice of who to be, i cant remember the choices but i do remember in game some of the troops were toad riders, white dragons and the person you chose at the beginning determined what kind of units you can use in game, there not much more detail i can remember, i ca still picture the game but i cannot find it anywhere, and suggestions??

secondly, this next game was for the ps1 i believe, you start the game and it shows a cut-scene with what appears to be a dragon like creature attacking a large wall surrounding a village, when you first begin the game,i cant remember what you do at first but i remember the village your in being attacked by imp like creatures, and you had to defeat them all, afterwards you leave your village and i remember being able to capture monsters and use them on your team? something like that, i think the game case was white and had a picture of a black tree on it? bare with me this was about 13 years ago, any help would be greatly apprecited
ive now looked at over a hundred rts games, still no luck, i also found a list of ps1 games and googled mos of them without luck, anyone, someone? please help?

I'm looking for a game. I think it was probably PS1 era. It was a turn based (or active-time-battle) RPG where you control 3 or 4 characters in your party. However, you had more characters total than would fit in your party. At some point, (possibly the final boss?), you had to control 2 parties of characters in the same turn based battle while you fought this gargantuan monster. Each group could target different spots on the enemy and you could switch between parties.

I've been looking for this for so long that I'm not even sure anymore if it ever existed.
Sounds like Final Fantasy 7? You control three people in your group, but there are much more then that, including two optional characters. At the end when you fight the boss you use all of your characters split into two teams?

I remember a game for the PlayStation 2 where you would fly around in a space ship shooting aliens and saving men and defending a base( you never went into space just flew around near the land), and once you got near a guy to save and landed near them they would hook onto the ship and you could drop them off on these spots where they could get into a tank or and anti air tank. You also had to defend certain areas from waves of aliens. I think you got upgraded ships as you went through the game or you just upgraded one ship.But i somewhat remember the last mission you had to defend 4 generators from swarms of aliens. Some aliens where ground units and some where flying units.

Hello I'm trying to find an old game I used to play.
It was a puzzle/adventure game where you're a dude in a yellow shirt killing bugs( I think) with a sword. It was kinda similar to Chip's challenge.It is not Tile World. If the bugs touched him he would freak out and made a loud ass scream.
Also it was 2D and might haven been a port to Windows 95.

Okay. My first ever genuine gaming experience was in kindergarten. There was a computer. In a rough sense of the word... in a corner of our classroom. Even at the time it was an obsolete item that was right on the way to becoming a historical curios.

It was a macintosh unit of a boxish limited-palette variety. And there was this educational game with a Muppets theme that was playable on it. In the sense that you pressed hard on the archaic keyboard (with similar tactile keys to a typewriter; an object I recall being employed as a toy around the same period to the horror of future hipsters) and things would move about a second later, or half a second if you were lucky.

I cannot recall if there was a primitive mouse involved as all gameplay I can recall relied mostly on the keyboard anyhow.

Based on what I remember it was an LC or a Color Classic or something of the sort, with that odd boxy aesthetic that made it tower high up from the desk from a six-year-old's perspective.

I've been racking my brain trying to remember what the name of a game I played when I was in junior high/high school. It was a game on one of those discs that had about 50 different games on it. I think it was called "Games for Girls". The game I am thinking of was a card game. It was a game where you drew cards to grow your garden. I think there was a gopher that ate your garden too. I believe there were 4 players, but the other 3 were just the computer. I would love to see if I can play it again so if anyone has any incite on what the name of this game is please let me know! :)

I've been looking for this game for 10 years now.
-It is a RTS style game with outer space features.
-2.5D Isometric Graphics on the PC.
-The game only has a campaign. (I Think)
-There are 2 playable races.
Human (Or something similar)
Alien
-Both play the same and only have different looks and names.
(Human - House)
(Alien - Hatchery)
-I think resources are some kind of crystals or rocks which you built collection buildings on or around to harvest infinantly.
-One thing that was different to me was that Infantry units could shoot while moving, kinda like a tank turret.

-The maps you play on are planets so the map connects all the way around so there isnt an edge to the map.
-At the start of the game you have to destroy an enemy on your planet.
-After you destroy the enemy you get to build a Space Ship (Like a Mothership) and go to the next Planet / Level.
(I think the Mothership works as a HQ when placed on a planets surface.)

-Once you go to another planet you can still go to the previous planet and harvest resources, build units, and create
additional space ships like frieghters and fighters that can carry resources and units to other planets.

-The Space View is just a side view of the solar system which you can see your planets and any Space Ships traveling to
other planets.
-There isnt much for space battles since you cant control the ships in space.
-If an unarmed ship comes across a fighter its basicly screwed

Thats all that I can recall about the game since I didnt get vary far into it.

Hopefully someone knows about it.

i am looking for a game that its not allowing me to sleep...

- pc
- from 80's
- your main character was a knight with sword
- before starting the game the game shows you a screen with 5 pillars with different size and in the top of each pillar there is one orb. the height of the pillars was increasing or decreasing depends of what you were doing in the game
- it was NOT a sidescrolling game
- at the begining you were going to the right and the screen was like a big square inside a castle with a wizard shooting at you and a princess tied with ropes

that its all what I remember, i had like 4 years when i saw the game and after that I never ever saw it again (it was in the 286 of my uncle and he deleted the game...)

please help me, really

Here is one (maybe cam up before) So about 15ish years ago i used to play a game on PC, its a demo compilation of games, you start out like an FPS in an arcade and walk around in the arcade to select the game.

I remember games like YDKJ and one where you were a space ship flying around but not like a constant flight arcade one, any way, does anyone know the name of the demo game compilation like this?

Possibly out of a magazine?

Cheers

Heya, I have a game I've been searching for for a while but I've never found any trace of it.
It was probably ten years ago if not more and I can't remember it's name. I'm pretty sure it was from the nineties.
What I do remember is this:

It's an adventure point and click game, sort of cartoony side view and sort of the same mechanics as Pink panther: passport to peril. I Played it on the pc and it was about two brothers doing various things- They seemingly go around to a lot of places because they seem to come from a typical american family although the setting of their adventures change.
It seems like the older brother has a crush on some girl(more on her later), and what I remember about the younger brother is that he had this pacifier and that they dipped it in honey at some point(strange detail to recall but bear with me).
Another part I remember about this game is that they go to a dessert somewhere and in a cutscene they run into two people on camels, one of them is the girl that the older brother has a crush on. They talk and then the camels ride off.
At a later stage you're supposed to save the girl I think but you end up in a swordfight with her or something similar.

It was a weird game now that I think of it but I remember it with quite a bit of nostalgia and if ANYONE can make sense of my description and tell me the name of the game then I'd be so grateful!


Bonus points to anyone who can figure out this other one by only hearing this vague description of it:

Also pretty old, 90'ies I'd say but could probably be just ten years ago or so. This one is also sort of cartoony, you're going to some lab or castle and you solve puzzles or the like for some scientist girl(I think it was a girl but cant be sure), in my memories she basically looked like a complete mix between Dexter and DeeDee from Dexters laboratory. White coat, glasses, blonde pigtails- I think she was pretty grouchy too.


Thanks to anyone who can help me with these! It'd be extremely fun to find these games again!

I don't know if anyone will actually remember this or even have played it. It was a PC game where the aim was to make a music band, and the band members were all cartoon bears.

I think this may have been an extra mini-game portion of another game but I can't remember what and it is driving me insane!

Looking for a game where you were in space and you went to various different planets and fought enemies made of food. I Specifically remember fighting marshmallow people and being on a space station. I think it came out between 1997 and 2004. Please help me its driving me crazy!

Hello guys,
I spent like a whole month trying to find a game that I loved playing when I was a kid. Sadly I don't have much information about the game :( .... The game is a FPS came around year 2000, the story was during the WWII (looks a lot like the game Iron Storm[graphically]). The only thing I remember for sure its that you start the game in a "snowy" base and had to get something (no shit... right? xD ) before continuing. Also I'm pretty sure, but could be wrong that the game had something like "Storm" in the name. Thats all I remember :(... Hope anyone has a clue of what the game I'm talking about is.

Thanks in advance for trying.

Best Regards,
moonbite

I need help finding a game for ps2. It was a flying type game that has dragons and in the beginning you have to do some training courses in a dome like arena that teaches you the basic of flying the creatures. And you can collect pick ups that do some stuff for the creatures that you have. And at one point in the game there's a part where you have to fly through this fiery thing. I can't remember that much but it was a fun game. P.s there was a manta ray type creature that you could fly too

I'm having trouble remembering a game that I was rather fond of on the GameCube. It involved the remains of civilization living underneath a dome on the planet. Your main character and just about literally everyone else were able o summon these robots and fight in arenas. It was so fun.

I believe you are looking for "Custom Robo"
