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

[diablo rules]

Hello there!

I can't remember the name of this game I used to play in the very early '90s. It was an arcade game, you could play alone or with a friend. The characters were two knights with swords (I think one was orange and the other blue, but I can be mistaken). At some point of the game they fought a big Medusa, and I think a giant alligator as well. Does it ring a bell? Thanks in advance!

Hi guys,
So there was this game I used to play on pc, with a sega games CD, on this CD there were lots of
games, one of them was this dinosaur game where you start off as an egg and then become a dinosaur
and watch your dinosaur interact with the other dinosaurs around the area, there was grass and
dinosaur fights if you got close to another, this is all I remember. Anyone know the name?

So, I'm not sure if this is an old game or not but I can't remember its name and it's bugging me. I remember playing the demo of it and it either wasn't complete or I didn't have the money to buy it. It's been a long time and, now that I have the money to get it, I CAN'T REMEMBER!!

Anyway, the game pretty much starts off with a robot girl being woken up by a human boy in a huge rundown facility. They attempt to leave but some bad guys try to stop them. They manage to escape and begin traveling together. The boy seems to hate her very much, yet seems to know her. They end up travelling to so kind of town or city and while there the boy gets hurt. They meet up with other people there. These people consist of: two men in their early 20's, a young boy who is into gaming, a plant boy, and invisible guy and a stern looking woman. There might be another but if so, I forget. One night that she is there, she overhears the woman talking to one of the men about her. They say something about her being a murderer. You can then choose if she stays there or leaves them. Then the demo ends there.

Sorry for the vague discription, but that's all I can remember. If anyone know this game, I will greatly appreciate you telling me the name. XD

I'm trying to find a game we played back in the early to mid 90's. I believe it was a pc game. It involved traveling through forests, mines, etc. fighting orcs, dwarves, spiders, big worms (underground). Blowing things up, riding in mine railcars. There was some magic, I believe at one point you had to talk to a vendor or gypsy in a wagon to get through to the next forest. You could explore the different rooms and furnishings in the mine to find objects to help in your journey.

Not sure if it's the same game, but I also recall a white tower, and you had to do or find things in a certain order to get to the top of the tower, and defeat the witch. In the tower were ghosts, vampires, spiders, etc.

Would like to find either of these games, or if they are the same game.

There was a game I played several years ago on an Ipod. It was a 2-D medieval turn based war game. You start by picking your character, the choices are basically red, light or dark blue, yellow, or red. Depending on who you chose you start with different creatures and spells. The way the game works is you attack others or defend your own castles that are on a board. As the game goes on you level up, gain new creatures and spells, and can upgrades old creatures and spells. If you win that game you can play as another character and you keep the creatures and spells you previously had and have chance to get other ones. If you need me to go into more detail i mast certainly can and am willing to, just let me know.
Thanks in advance for the help.

Hello everyone, I seriously can't deal with not remembering this game anymore so this is kinda my last hope.

I only have vague description, but I have some hopes yet that someone here will remember any clue that'll help: It was some kind of adventure graphic game, like carmen san diego. For what I remember, it was like 1st person but I think you never got to know your character tho you actually interact with people. Game is mostly based around kids, I think it was a kids game since I played it when I was 10 years old or so. The game had different missions where you travelled around the world, china for example, and before each travel you had the same stage where you hop on the plane, a commercial flight plane. The one for China for example had some stars, and distinctive symbols from the country.

I remember also that after all those missions you came back to the very first level but find out that things have gone to shit and you have to fix that, I remember it was kinda creepy, at least for a 10 year old boy, some kids were robots, and I think it was because they were like "kidnapped" or something like that and you had to get them out.

I wish I had at least one picture of the game, can't even remember characters, words or anything like that. Maybe someone with a graphic adventure games for kids list would help.

Bump, I'm desperate

Well, "things gone to shit" and "robot kids" pretty much reminds me of "Pink Panther: Passport to Peril".
A really excellent graphics adventure, informative, witty, still one of my favourites.

Hey all. I dont know if this has been answered before, i apologise if it has, but ive been trying to remember a game, it was either on the ps1 or ps2. All i remember from it is that it involves an old (ish) man with a tall top hat, a big book which was used to attack enemies, one of the levels (possibly the first) you were on top of a moving train, the npc's you encounter dont have voice actors but instead grunt whilst the text appears and it was an rpg. Sorry if its a bit vague

Bump

YES, THAT'S THE ONE, THANK YOU SO MUCH. I LOVE YOU. Forgot that small detail about "pink panther" haha

My sister is looking for a game she had played on the PC 5+ years ago, but she can't remember much. Apparently, she played only a little, but now she wants to play it again. All she could remember was that it was a point and click game, where the main character was a female robot (not 100% sure). Also, she said there was a really nice opening cinematic and the first mission/level/whatever had something to do with a letter. For now I know only that is hadn't been machinarium or primordia and I'm almost sure that it hadn't been a flash/browser game. Please help and thank you in advance!

No problem, glad to help. Couldn't let anyone miss that gem of a game. :-D


@hypocrat

Before looking up sci-fi games, maybe we try another approach.

Please check, if your sister has played "Syberia" by chance.
While being human herself, the main character, Kate Walker, does meet "robots" (or "Automatons" rather) during the course of her journey.
And upon her arrival in the French Alps she does receive a letter from her boss.

If it's not the game, make her play it anyways. Beautiful art design but sloooooow pacing. ;-)

Turned out to be Syberia.... she just didn't remember that the main protagonist was a human, not a robot. Thanks, pixelhunter!

So this is a RTS game that I use to play in 1998-2000 time frame. It had two sides one red who stayed on the earth through a hard climate change or something and the blue which left on spaceships where all the rich people. One of the units was basically a raptor with a laser thing on one of its eyes. The two sides fight over earth after the blue side returns. I even remember a special troop transport unit you could get it was a big spider that could carry 8 infantry and it could shoot missiles or something. If any of you know this game I would appreciate it.

I'm not a RTS expert and to be honest there are tons of games all pretty much similar, but maybe:

Hello everyone!
I have to admit that I'm really glad I found this topic because I can't really figure out the name of this game that is driving me crazy.

I played it quite a long time ago, more then 8 years, (but the game can be much older) and I don't really remeber much but there are few key points.
First of all I remember that the point of view was from the top or 3/4 from the top. The ambience was in the woods or countryside, there was a lot of green. At the begginig there was a house or farm and a well and I remember (strange memory) that there was an animal but I'm not sure if it was a pig or a chicken that you could hit and it ran around bleeding.(Yes, I know it's weird but I remember this detail).
The thing I remember most was that on the left side (west from the house) there was a river and you had to figure out a way to cross it. I think there was also a cave somewhere nearby.
Last thing that I associate with this game is the word "lumberjack", I don't know if it has something to do with the game or not but it's something that comes to my mind.

Please help me! I'm going mad!!!

The plot is identical to the old Genesis' Master Of Monsters game...sadly, there is no ipod version of it. But, there is a game for ipod pretty much similar

hi, (sorry for my english, its bad)
i need help searching a game. it was an rpg game for pc, (NOT an old dos game, from the nineties, early 2000's) with 4 characters. starts with a knight(with red hair,blue\gray body), then you find an archer, (long hair, green/yellow body), then a warrior (with beard, and an axe or a hammer, brown body you find him in a bar) and then a wizard (old man, purple body, you find him in his house in a tiny kind of island inside a forest). it starts in a forest, i remember the knight could plant mines/bombs. and the second map was a desert.
the very last part of the game was beating 4 or 5 warriors and then you enter a white door.
thanks in advance.
