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

[Alan Whitright]

i am trying to remember the name of of an old ms-dos game i played in the early 90s at my old elementary school the main things i remember about it were that it was a side scroller and you defeated your enemies with a bucket of pink slime anyone have any ideas what it might be if you played it or seen it?

With the recent release of all the DOS based games for browser play by the Internet Archive - especially the oregon trail, I'm reminded of another game I played at the same time - on the computer at school - where you cleared land to plant crops, raised cows to sell or keep for breeding...pretty sure you could hunt as well..but I might be mingling it with memories of The Oregon Trail. For some reason I think your family name was Bartlett, or Barrett or something like that in the game.

This would have been around the same time as Odell Lake - and I'm thinking Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?, but it might have been a bit earlier.

Anyone can help me, i played a game for PS1 when i as a child, i'm the beginning for some reason your character is locked to some chains and they put some kind of mask That attaches to his face and looks to be alive, after that they drop you in to somecave or sewer systems, and you have to fight lizard like creatures like the ones in the old spider man games, i also remember that for saving the game you had to step in some kind of light and a strange song started to play. And it was a medieval style to fight the criatures you had swords and lightining powers, sorry for muito bad english i hope someone can help me.

Here's to hoping someone remembers this one.

It was an old game - it was definitely pre-1990. Computer only. Text based. My school had it. It was a game about driving across America in a truck carrying either oranges, mail, or some 3rd commodity. You had to choose a route, set your speeds (which had an effect on your gas mileage), figure out when to rest and, at truck stops, figure out how much gas you had to buy and if you went over you just lost a bunch of cash because it spilled all over the ground.

Hey, I´ve been looking for this game for a while.. I don´t remember much about the game, but I know I loved it so much when I was a kid.

On the start screen were two characters, two thiefs probably. I don´t know if I had to choose between them or if they were both part of the story at some point of the game. All I can remember is that the gameplay was super fun and the environment was interesting. I would characterize it as something between The Jazz Jackrabbit and Dangerous Dave, but maybe that isn´t a good example I don´t know.

I don´t remember for what OS exactly this game was, all I can remember is that I played it in the mid 90´s. I´m pretty sure that our PC ran on Windows and I think that my dad had to boot into DOS to run the game. But I´m not 100% sure.

I really hope that somebody can help me, because the game made a huge impression on me...

Thanks in advance guys

Not Zool or Zool 2, maybe? There were 2 characters to choose from in Zool 2 - the game was affiliated with Chupa Chups somehow.

No that´s not it, but I remember playing those too

I forgot to mention that the characters in the game I´m looking for, were both regular men wearing prison clothes. One was tall skinny guy and the next one was like a small fat guy.

OK, here is one for the group. It was generally chess-like, 1vs1 or 1vsCPU You had a certain number of points/dollars to spend on making an army. You could have vampires (flying), ghouls, demons, doppelgänger, traps and other things that I can't remember. The game would set up on a field-like surface. One of the characters would be designated the Flag Bearer (like a king in chess, but retaining it's own abilities). You wouldn't know which character your opponent set as the flag bearer. Each person takes turns moving a character. Here is where it got cool.

In chess, when a pawn attacks a queen, the pawn wins. But in this one, when you attacked another character (or vice versa) it would open up a 2-D battle ground. Each player would then move their characters and fight in real time. The vampire could fly (slowly) and shoot freezing rays from its eyes, and would bite/suck life out of the opponent and add it to its own life. The doppelgänger would assume the look of another type of character (but not the strength). Each character had it's strength or weakness. Some were very weak (and cheap) while others like the demon, were strong and expensive.

Any ideas? I seem to remember playing it between 1992-95.

This might be a tricky one. The game I'm searching for, I played on a Windows 98 computer. The main color scheme was dark with colors of mainly black and green with a bit of red. The game was played as a man and from what I remember it was in a sewer like labyrinth. I remember there were minotaur looking creatures as well. I remember you had to try and find your way out. Played it around '94 - '00 That's about it.

[Scott Le]

Probably not a very popular game but i thought i'd try this out. I used to play a game with my brother on a Windows (Win95?) PC in the Mid-Late 90s. It was a split screen, top down view, player vs player tank game (nice 8 or 16 bit graphics). From recollection, one tank was green or blue, and the other was red. it was two player on the same keyboard and the aim was to kill the other tank either by shooting it or dropping mines. You reloaded mines by going back to your base/garage. the tanks were in an 'urban/block environment with roads & buildings. please help me find this game! Thank you.

 

[Jeff Aguiar]

Hopefully someone can help me, I'm trying to remember this side scrolling game that was back in the windows 98 era. It played like a board game where you and your opponent both got to pick one of the three choose able characters and the background was black and the area you walked on was 3 floors of green lines. And on certain areas there would be a flashing square and if you landed on it I can't remember if it bumped the opponent back to start or if you teleported to the next one. The game had a virtual dice to determine how many spaces you moved.

Alright I got an old one it was for either the NES or Snes console.It had ship battling parts where you flew toward the top of the screen, the ship was white I believe and looked like the ship from Galaga.... When you reached the end you would usually have to kill a boss, which would usually be a giant metal door with guns and such all over it. When you beat said boss you would enter the door and become (almost looked like the ship would flip over)a person (not sure if you were a guy of girl). As a person you ran around with a sword killing things and navigating the map until you hit the platform that would launch the next ship flying segment (looks like you turn into the ship). You have a health bar in human form I don't think you did in ship mode (I think ship mode was one hit kill). Also creatures would drop power ups(don't remember what they do besides one being for healing), I do remember one of the items dropped being a pink ball I think it was the heal item(or one of them)...... This one has been killing me for as long as I can remember and I have still yet to find it on discussion boards like this or on google.

Another one that is killing me: It is an Asian style game. There are multiple characters to choose from one being a guy and one being a girl. The character I remember the most though could fly and looked like a demon, he had no arms and I think had chains wrapped around his body and his weapon looked exactly like the steering wheel to a ship (I think you unlock him later). You go around killing demons of all kinds, one I especially remember are spider demons (I think there is a level, maybe the first one, where there is a boss spider demon that is bigger than the rest). I remember there being about 5 characters to choose from (I think you only start with two or three of them though)..... I know there is like a combo counter that increases damage or whatever the enemy drops if you keep it up (it goes away after so long without attacking an enemy). I believe this one was for Ps2 and original Xbox (but it may have been for one or the other, maybe neither of those systems)......

Just reposting this to if someone knows what either game is.
Update tonight I searched for a complete NES list as I was sure that was what the first game was for. I looked through almost every title and found it. It was "The Guardian Legend". Also you have a gun not a sword.I still need help with the second listed game though thanks.

Hey Guys
I have one game in my mind which i can't forget for more than 10 years.

It was sort of flash-window game when i used to have Windows 98 or 2000.

The game was like puzzle, camera is at the top. You move your character across the floor (like labyrinth) but you can walk only on fixed coloured tiles, in order to move to a different tile, you had to step on a specific tile which had two colours in it.
Probably you were a thief or something like that, but i don't remember for sure.

Thanks in advance

Sounds a lot like Jewel Chase

Okay, so there is a game I remember playing on the PC when I was younger, and not being able to remember what it was called has been bothering me for years. It must have been between 1998 and 2005. The best I can describe it is that you are on an island, with a tank-like vehicle in a 3rd person view. The island is infested with giant wasps that will attack your vehicle. The mission, which I never beat (dumb little kid me...) was to find and destroy the hive, which is in front of a research building with scientists, and collect these water module things, which looked like little pyramids. You had to collect these to allow your tank vehicle to travel on water and off the island without taking damaged. You were equipped with a mini-gun and 4 missiles on the top of this vehicle. There were different difficulties, and the title screen had those wasps throughout it. For an old game it was a decent 3d environment with textures and everything. I think the game's name started with an A, and the icon sort of looked like a set of golden like gates. Might be wrong on the icon thing there. If ANYONE knows what this is, a bazillion thanks in advance for helping put this search to rest.

I think this was played on the windows 98 if I recall. 95 might be a bit too old.

Hi guys,

I'm looking for a game I used to play at the same time I played Carmageddon TDR 2000. I think it was that time - it could be later. I honestly remember little about the game and am quite sure it was not so popular. I got it with a games newspaper cd - probably as a demo. I remember it was an RTS 3D game where you had some units (maby you started with one) and you could upgrade it in some sort of portals? Im quite sure you could also discover some other units during a game so you could have more units at the same time. I think you had to use mana to upgrade units on those portals. Im also quite sure each portal gave you a different type of unit. I remember 2 units - a big cyclops-like monster that threw rocks at the enemies - he was quite powerful. Ahh and the more kills the units got - the better they were - they changed their look and power etc. So the big guys rock changed and had spikes on it. The other unit i remember was a boar rider with a crossbow - probably an orc. The maps were different - some green hills and little buildings but also you could play on the city map.

Its quite everything I can remember. Hope someone knows it cause I'm rly looking forward to finding and playing it once more.

PS - this forum kicks ass

Ok, In the mid/late 90s I used to have a demo for this PC game that was like a 4X-ish alt. fantasy and I cannot, since losing the disc, remember what the name of it was.

There were three races. One I can't remember; one was a purple race that used psionic powers, and were kind of snake like; and the other was a green race that, as I recall, were not too dissimilar from the hulk. You basically build buildings and could change your guys into different forms in those buildings; and as you progressed you could improve to and/or build more advanced buildings. It's so generic top-down strategy now that I describe it that it's probably gone for good, but this seems like a worthy punt.

Thanks in advance to anyone with a better memory than I.

Sounds like War Wind 1 to me.
