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

Hi all, wow lots of memories come by reading those posts! Though I'm looking for a game I played but it is impossible to go throught 560 pages, so sorry if it has been asked already. I used the search on this site and nothing came up.

I'm looking for a game, it must have been around the same time as 7th guest and 11th hour and Myst. I loved them all. The game I'm looking for also was a puzzle game. You had to walk around touch things and find objects, find hints, solve puzzles to continue the quest.

You started in a village where you had to collect things, ask questions to villagers, knock on doors, go into a bar, etc.
I remember a castle where there was a curfew.
A garden with an eggplant who sang songs.
A kind of cavetroll who said, Brog loves rocks

Hope anybody remembers the name. Thanks in advance.

I have been looking for a game for hours online and cannot' find it. It was a sorta doom clone form the 90's, with the maze-like level design and tight corridors, but you were in space, flying a spaceship. The game had vertical movement to freely move up and down, and was set in a sci fi setting, instead of doom. I could not find this game if I were to spend my entire life looking for it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Flying a spacecraft in tight corridors?

Like in the "Descent" (1995) series, "Terracide" (1997) or "Forsaken" (1998)?

Hey guys, I'm very happy that I found this website since I also have a game in mind that I just today remembered having played when I was very young. I hope you can give me some advice. =)

The thing is that I remember that when I was that young back in the days I didn't really know how the game works so I was basically only clicking and watching and not getting what was going on So I would love to try it again, refresh some memories and maybe get the a-ha effect

But anyways, the game I am talking about is a kind of strategy game. I cannot really remember whether it was running on Win95 or DOS. The setting was underground which means that one was playing a faction (I guess they were symbolized as dwarfs, possibly with pickaxes) and one had to mine oneself through an underground dungeon. Everything was displayed in 2D and from the typical strategy game perspective. So with the help of mouse clicks one could click the areas which one wanted to be mined by the dwarfs. By doing so one could spread its territory and discover new things e.g. some new weapons or magic or I don't really know what. It is a little bit like a very ancient Dungeon Keeper actually. And the whole territory was displayed in honeycombs such as in Civilization.

So in short I think it was an ancient Dungeon Keeper with dwarfs, new weapons and magic in a Civilization like strategy style. And, finally, but I am not sure whether here the Lord of the Rings Saga has brainwashed me, I think the game had "Moria" in its name. But as I said, don't give too much attention to it because maybe this is just influenced by Lord of the Rings.

Thank you so much guys =) I'm really looking forward to your answers and am glad to test your talent

Cheers!

Greetings to all, back in the end of the 90's, that must have been 98-99-00-01 (sorry for that, my memory doesn't help much) I played a demo of what was like a space sim. It was taking place a little above ground (maybe for the purposes of the demo you couldn't go far) at some city like environment a terrain with buildings and stuff, certainly a dark place, like a post apocalyptic futuristic setting. There was a player base, actually like a flat in a high floor with garage which you could enter with your spacecraft in case you were chased by or to save or etc.

The "bad guy" of the story was a big(bad and dark) corporation with spacecrafts all over the place, and some turrets on the corporation's buildings that when you caused trouble and were wanted would target at you.

I remember very vividly that one of the few things that you could do in the game demo other than flying around was when a fight was going on with others or you included, and whenever a spaceship was destroyed(remember all these are taking place some meters above ground) a black box of that ship would be thrown on ground and everyone around would fly close to the ground and struggle to try and get it, for I don't remember what value.

I remember that you could also buy and place turrets at your place, but was restricted due to demo limitations.

If by any chance any of these rings a bell, I would be very grateful, it's been so long..
I have already searched the "space sim" genre with not much luck but in most of the demo you were flying in what was like a small spacecraft... so,

Edit: Game was for the pc, at that time they issued cds with 5-6 demos from the pc magazine or equivalent.

Thanks for reading..!

Sounds a bit like "G-Police" (1997).

Ok i've been googling this for a while now without any succes.

I'm looking for a old racing game where you had police chasing you.
There was also something with speed cameras involved, and you could tune your car. That's all I remember, hope someone can help!!

Ubering

Check out

Outlaw Racers (1998)

http://www.giantbomb.com/outlaw-racers/3030-3833/

Could be Driver, Need for Speed 2 - Hot Pursuit (Possibly the third, I can't remember if it had police chases) or Midtown Madness 1 or 2 as well.

All games which involve racing and evading police. Not so sure about the traffic cameras and tuning though.

Will check out driver but don't think that's the one
NFS is too shiny, not the one i'm looking for. And midtown Madness 1 and 2 also not.
The traffic camera thing, I remember actually getting flashed by it when driving by one.

This game didn't have a free roaming/cruise function what I remember, just races in a towns I think.
Also something with wrenches you could pickup to repair your car is something I remember

Thanks for all the input so far.

Best idea for a forum thread ever.

I played this adventure RPG around 1996 on my fancy new Windows 95 PC. I found the game at BestBuy in the bargain bin, as I recall. You start on an alien world and encounter a super intelligent and friendly alien who greets you with "Salutations!" and had a vocabulary that sent me running for the dictionary every two minutes. I think I had crash landed on the planet, but am not sure.

You get sent on a number of missions to retrieve items, like orbs that give you special powers, and along the way you fight monsters, meet untrustworthy aliens in bars, and learn about this ancient alien species that is thought to have died out and had mastery over the special orb powers.

The first mission you get sent on is to look for the smart alien's friend. He was supposed to return with some kind of device, but never shows up. So you go trouncing through a forest killing vicious creatures until you find the device and the remains of the friend in one of the creature's stomachs.

I want to say that the title of the game was something like Ascendance, or Descent, or Alien-something-er-other. I've searched for games with those words and haven't found anything. The box it came in had the picture of a woman's face looking mysterious and serious with a planet behind her. Any ideas? Thank you!!

Hi again everyone. Nobody has commented on the games I was looking for.
Any help would be amazing. I have been looking for this game for 5+ years now!

You are a highschool kid. It has a perspective like MYST and in some spots like Friday the 13th on nes but a lot better looking.
There were highschool kids that you would have to find and or rescue.
With that the graphics looked pretty good for the time (I am guessing I was about four or five) which was 2001.
I THINK THE MAIN CHARACTER HAD BLONDE HAIR.
It was played on a PC. Probably a Windows 98 no clue.

Anyways if someone could help me I would pay them to tell me what it is.

 

[rheya19]

Hello!

This is an old game from probably mid to later 80's in the arcade. It was a fighter game, 3d fight field, that felt like a old school fight. Had like cars and what not around the 3d square fight area. You would just punch and kick. The fighters were short and stocky, felt like a very heavily Japansese influenced game. I played it as a kid in our mall while my parents would finish dinner, it was right outside an in mall restaruant. I've been hunting it down for years.

When you say "stocky," were they very short? Could it have been Pocket Fighter? Maybe that was more of a 90's game.

 

[mikaleide]

So this is extremely vague, but ill try and explain it anyways.

It was this game that I remember featured a man with the classic bad guy thin mustache on the cover (Think Dick Dastardly).
It was a top down view 2d game that I believe had, but can not guarantee, had randomly generated maps. Kinda looking like early Civ I and II maps, and I believed you used one or more characters that were in tiny airplanes.
I remember playing it on the PC in the late 90s or early 00's at the latest.

The title I think started with Dr./Mr. somethingorother.

I've been looking for this game on and off for years, and obviously its been very hard to find because of the limited information that I can remember from it. Forever grateful if someone happens to know the game.

 

[crocogator]

Hey there!

Okay, this one might be a little hard because my memory of it is very small sadly.

However, it is somewhat similar to Bomberman and Sokoban, at least they both kinda remind me of it. (Its not Bubble Bobble! Stating that here because a friend thought I was talking about that game)

I remember that it was around 2000 when I played this, but I'm sure it has to be at least 1995 or older.

So there were these levels were you had to push things around (or bomb them away? Or both? I'm not sure...) and I remember that it was kinda puzzle-y. Also I remember collecting gems or fruits or something like that.
And I think (!) you were playing as a bear or something similar. Dont quote me on that, though.
I also especially remember an ice level, where you were able to slide.
Sadly I dont remember the exact goal of the levels. Maybe it was just collecting all gems/fruits
I'm also not sure what the enemies were or if there were any (but I'm sure there were some, I mean lets be real)

I know this is very vague, sorry about that, but thats all I can somewhat remember. I do know that I had fun playing it, but I didnt play it very often, I guess thats why I dont remember it cleary enough.

So I'm hoping someone here knows games similar to this, I'd absolutely love to at least have a look at it again!

Thanks in advance!

I've been trying to figure out what online browser-based game I played as a child, probably from about 2009-2012. The only identifying features I remember are that at one point you had to find pieces of a skateboard, and once you did, you could ride around on it, which was faster than walking, and that there was an area that was reminiscent of Stonehenge and that would ask riddles. If you were the first to answer the riddle correctly you won a prize.
And that's all I remember. Any ideas??

 

[Alcapone]

I used to play this game somewhere 4 year ago, on PC, it's a online game. The game have 2 side, human and monster, human side have guns with hundreds of bullets, mines bombs flames and a lot of stuff. monster side you can produces bugs, looks like bugs in star strek some monster is bigger than the screen. I really like this game, thanks in advance.

I was confused because I thought that you game was centered only on airplanes, in this game you travel mainly by car, but occasionally by other means like airplanes.

 

[shaoshih22]

hey guys I got a really challenging one here, it's not really an old game though it's actually made around 2008 - 2010.I didn't actually played this game, I knew this game by watching a TV show that introduces new video games. And also I didn't remember a lot detail form this game too. This is what I remember about this game, this is a rpg game, the main character which you would be using most of the game is a boy, I don't remember what quest or mission he's doing, but I do remember that at the beginning your weapon would be a wooden sword, and though out the game you can up grade it and make it become stronger. I also remember one of the girl in that game was killed by a sorcerer or something, and that boy was on a rage and was going to revenge the death of the girl. In the game I also remember that one of the good guys was a huge dude and u can use him to smash things. That's all I remember, it's a crappy description but if anyone can help me I would be so grateful.

Can anyone help me? I'm trying to remember a game where You played as a Wizard kid dressed in a blue robe and hat, going through levels trying to find all the broken pieces of a golden sword to defeat some uber boss, and in order to beat the game you had to buy a new set of eyes that turned them blue and made them as big as your head almost, but gave you infinite mana or something, then you bought shoes that made you run faster, i remember the final pair of shoes being purple. and you could buy capes and such. There was a grassy level, a cave level and a fortune cookie factory as 3 of the levels. It's really killing me trying to remember, I played it on my mom's old windows 95 back when i was like 8 or 9.

It's really killing me trying to remember, I played it on my mom's old windows 95 It was top down view but was in 2.5d and if you got all the pieces of the sword it shot out infinite skull type projectiles that ricochet and let you kill the boss in about 5 seconds.

I can't remember the year it was out, but i was like 9 or 10 (i am 22 now) it is a 2.5d game where you play a wizard and have to collect various pieces of a golden magic weapon to defeat the boss, and he have upgrades too the only upgrades i can remember are giant eyes that give you massive mana and boots that made you super light and fast. one of the levels has you running through a fortune cookie factory and you could eat the cookies for random fortunes/ health
the golden weapon when completed was a sword that shot out magic enemy seeking skulls It was a pc game i am positive of it

It seems even after 2 years I'm still being ignored. I have asked help back in 2013 in finding a game which no one replied to or tried to help me with suggestions. Not even a "I've never heard of that game before." just flat out ignoring. I won't bother asking again since It won't help, and no one will read this post either so I guess I'm just going to log out and go try somewhere else to get help in finding my game.

Don't feel sad, we can't read all the older posts.. the thread is huge! we have to focus on the recent posts. Try again here with the details of your game and I'll help you.

All of my posts for the game I have been trying to find with no luck :x

 

[ttk7712]

I have tried very hard to find this game.
There was a bear, I don't remember very clearly but, we have to control the bear by mouse to do the quest. I had played it to the part when the bear built a trap to catch a squirrel.
This game was very old, I guess, it's graphic was bad. It is quite like a logic game, we have to find a way to help the bear to do something, I don't know.
That's it. Hope that someone remembers this game.
I played it when I was a kid and it was very frustrated that I can't finish it. Can anyone help me?
