There's this one flash game I used to play on my computer and all I remember was you played as some sort of grey block person and you had to figure out the puzzle in each room to get to the next. I remember this one level where you looked through a telescope I think and you saw inside this houses window. When you looked away for a sec and looked back you could see another one of those block people staring back at you. I played this game a long time ago so I don't reember a lot of details. If anybody could help me Id greatly appreciate it.

i'm looking for a cartoony side scroller i played 10 or so years ago on a pc, you were a raccoon of sorts and you were a criminal, most likely a burglar. in the beginning of the game, you can enter houses underground, and later on you can jump from a boat to a boat, that's about as much i can remember. any help is greatly appreciated.

Ok i have two difficult for you guys, both with Egyptian theme (maybe middle 90's or later)
1º Was a 3D shooter ( maybe dungeon ) where you can attack with color lights or something like that , your enemies were bats or spiders i dont remember. I think you only had to take crystals to open the doors. Poor description sorry, I played it with my uncle now deceased :( i know it was in a cd demo, maybe in a design magazine. Maybe this one wasn't distributed...

2º Another game from Egypt , but this time it was an adventure game where you learned how beer was made in ancient Egypt , how they made the mummies... (I remember good graphics but i was a child so...)

Thanks! I tried to remember more but i cant :(
you are looking for:exhumed http://www.segasaturn.co.uk/games/pal/E/exhumed/

Darn, I missed both Tachyon: The Fringe AND Battle Realms, both of which I own physicals of.
That's what I get for working.
I'll still hang around and keep an eye out though.

Kudos and props to everyone helping people out!

Hello

I remember playing an nes game . It's a platformer that looks like Hudson's Adventure Island . You control a little boy that wears white clothes with a white baseball cap I think, he moves from left to right and can jump over enemies to defeat them like mario . he can run very fast if you hold the move button and if you met a hole in the ground you don't fall instantly instead you have like 3 seconds to run back towards the edge . there are bushes in the level that if you passed by fast enough a small red furry creature will pop up and stick to your back you can throw it at enemies to defeat them and if you get hit by an enemy the creature dies instead of you . I also remember that the character talks with a king at the beginning of the game but I'm not sure

Around 1998 or something like that, there was a space game.

You started with a chosen spaceship, and held 1 planet.
With that ship you could move to a planet, gather it's resources and/or colonize it.
You could sell resources for money and with that enhance your ship
-Upgrades in blue/speed
-in yellow, cargo bay
-and red, i believe, energy

Then there were different weapons and bombs to kill of planets.
It was a tiny sort of sandbox game, in space. A sort of simplified version of Orion.

You could also invest in planets to either convert them to your side or make them stronger so that other players would not take them from you.

If anyone has any idea, please let me know! Many thanks in advance!
Cheers

This game I am looking for is for pc. It's like worms but the surface is flat like Age of Empires, Age of Mythology etc. I played it in 2004 a lot in my friends house. It has lots of guns and maps.I don't really remember anything but my friend said something like "grinch" or idk. I'm not sure about the name it may not be "grinch" because I've searched with every word in google. Please help me I've been trying to find it since then!
only thing close to what you described as I can think is lemmings

See Tom Gulbrandsen's response. He's right, it's Sly Cooper and it was on PS2, now re-released in HD on the PS3.

And Tom,

Ok so there was this game I used to play as a demo and you played as this little cylinder looking guy with no arms or legs but you had hands and feet in sure, but you would go around picking up blocks and stacking them on top of each other to make cannons or tanks, you could also just make guns if you wanted or maybe there was just gun create I can't remember but when you stacked the blocks together the item it made would show up on top of the boxes and the main thing I remeber from this game is the little guys would say "I smacka your face" and a couple other things. But that's all I remeber of the game if you could tell me the name of it that would be great thanks :)
That sounds a lot like "Team Buddies"

I'm looking for a game between 98 and 2000 style space colony but simpler, probably a demo ... after killing everyone on the planet could build a ship and travel to another planet to conquer more planets ... I remember it had a powerplant and some other units ... I'm crazy after that game, makes two years that seek no success, already looked in many abandonware ... if anyone knows the answer I'll thank forever !!

Edit: in this time, i believe that i'm running Win95 or 98SE, i don't remember exactly...

I used to play a game on Windows 98... At that game you started at a beach with a kind of little boy or elf and a little rocket always goes behind you. You had to walk trough many islands that were connected by wooden bridges to reach one of the islands. The enemies on wooden bridges were dentures or teeth trying to bite you. Also were girls that gave you some hints like how to jump or collect some items (I remember only one item, similiar to a piece of green grass). I only remember this, anyone knows the game? Please help me! (the game was 3D graphics at that time)

I'm looking for a game where you went for a nature walk in a English countryside and collected specimens like worms and flowers and recordings of bird songs. Does anyone know what it was called?

I have been racking my brains for the past week trying to put a name to this old game I had. Can't find any reference to it anywhere with these few details I remember.

- Two army guys on an alien planet
- Early PS2 game, think it was ported from PC?
- It had a pretty infantile but amazing sense of humour.
- There was a huge alien on the front cover, I think.

Any ideas? This is driving me mad.
