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

[Bogalhao]

Hi to all. There was a game that i used to play about 10/12 years ago (maybe more) where i had to choose one in 4 classes (humans, demons, mages and dinossaurs). It was a game very similiar to starcraft. It began with one base and 4 or 5 workers and i needed to collect something from the trees in order to build military houses, upgrade houses and stuff. I remember that dinos workers were some kind of lizards with no legs, mages were old wizards with a simple staff, humans were like caveman and demons were beetles.
I can't remember the full game name but i'm pretty sure that the game cover had a dino.
It was a rpg pc game btw. I also remember that if i choose dinos i could fuse twoo tipes of dinos and create a different one and the "boss" dino was a huge t-rex.
Does anyone know the name of the game?
Thank you

I remember playing an old game about breaking into a big house/mansion as an assassin and killing guards and you had a bow and arrow which you could get a blue head/ice head and red head/fire head on the arrows and kill guards with them and you failed if guards knew you were there. Also you started off outside with 2 guards talking to each other by a big door and a lit up mansion and you had to go to the left to climb up, over some stuff through a window please help? IT IS NOT ASSASSINS CREED please anyone with an idea of what it was called or know what it was called please message me it was also a CD ONLY FOR pc game (I THINK) not off a website and only single player I believe.

Hi guys.

I have two games I'm looking for.

1st one is a PS1 game. It's intro was something like the matrix where ppl are strapped into a machine. You then drive a weird looking car in this 'matrix'. The intro shows some ppl dying in the machine and I assumed this happened when you die in the 'matrix'.
Anyway the gameplay. Like I said, you drive this weird looking car trying to collect silver spheres from several strange and very large mechanical constructs. The whole game looked like a dream/nightmare. You could also collect crystal shards which then goes to the rear of your car and stacks on top of each other to increase your HP. Different sizes in crystals of different colors then finally stack up to look like your car has a flame coming out of the back. There was always these annoying flying helicopter blades with hooks that always stole your crystal shards thus bringing down your HP again. If I remember correctly you could also jump with the car.
Please I've been looking for this game for more than 10 years now.

2nd game is a bit more difficult.
I can't remember if it's a gamemaker game or a flash game. It was in black and white and had a very special feeling to the whole game.
You basically just had to eat these pixel ppl to increase you worm in size. The more you eat the larger(and hungrier) you become and the more tanks and helicopter the ppl get. Now the game was 2D and was very small. For some reason I can't think of any other name besides 'Attack of the Giant Man Eating Worm' but I can't find it under that name.

Hello, I need help, spent the whole day looking for a game but couldnt find it.

- Played it between 2000~2010
- Playstation 1 or 2
- RPG
- 3D Graphics in the Third Person
- You start on a desert? On a zeppelin?
- You go into some caves to fight monsters
- That desert starts to fill up with houses with the progression of the game(your town)
- You get a party thing going on (up to 3 characters i think and i think you can only use 1 at a time)
- You start as a boy(uses swords or daggers?) then you find a girl(with cat ears that uses slingshots) and later on a guy that lives in the woods(uses hammers) and also a tall indian or african man(uses bo staffs like donatello from tmnt)
- Has bosses (first boss is a giant flying dog? and you have to use slighshot girl to beat it)
- Has chests, shops, idk

EDIT:
So sorry, found it. Dark Cloud

Great forum though.

Okay been looking for 15 years for this one, not the whole time just every few years if try hen give up

I played it in school in Australia in the late 90's. It starts on an English boy going to Australia on a ship as a convict. He says "I never new me father, and me poor old mum surely loves her gin. But the men don't give her no brass no more. So I stole a bit here or there, just a loaf of bread mind you. The coppers caught me, something something I'm a gonner."

You make choices, click on things. You get free'd as a convict then head to the gold fields. An oriental man who is you friend says things like " I think they want to take us to the gold fields, shall we pay them? Or try our luck along"

Can't find it anywhere please help.

Hi, I've been looking for this childhood game ever since I can remember having played it. (5+ years) However at this point, i'm not sure if i'm imagining things or not since no one else of my family remembers it.

I'll be brief and just make a listing of what I can still remember.

- Likely played it in the late 1990s or early 2000s
- Probaply a Windows 95 / 98 game
- Puzzle / adventure game
- Screen-by-screen movement (point and click style) (not sure)
- Mouse controlled
- Somewhat photo-realistic graphics (for the time and my ~6 year old mind)

So, now all the generic info is out of the way, let's move on to the (hopefully) more recognisable aspects.

- Set on Easter Island
- You played as a hare or rabbit
- The game had quite a dark colour pallette
- At least 2 minigames that I remember
- 1, A sliding puzzle on a stone texture with symbols on the pieces (neither me, nor my parents could solve this one)
- 2, Some sort off egg sorting minigame set in a (abandoned?) factory setting
- I think you had to collect easter eggs, but this is more of a personal guess than memory

Thats about all I can remember or deduce, It's not really much and kinda specific, but I hope it sparks a momory somewhere.

Please, if there is any game that this even slightly reminds you of, let me know. Becouse for all I know, half for this description could just be a figment of my imagination, but I think that I will remember when I see it.

Many thanks in advance

3. A game which reminds me very much of Diablo. But the characters were a bit different, however still a warrior, sorcerrer and I remember the rogue was an elven archer in green. You played in a dungeon. Much else I don't remember.

Were the characters 'cartoonish' looking? Are you thinking of Torchlight [http://www.runicgamesfansite.com/downloads/torchlight%202010-09-28%2000-20-57-51_1vY.jpg] perhaps? Or is it something much, much older?

4. Another real-time strategy, you had three different races to choose from. One ancient light/dark pyramide building one, one robotic and the other alien. This game is quite new though, about 2010 or smth. like that.

And I think this one might be Universe at War: Earth Assault [https://www.google.com/search?q=Universe+at+War:+Earth+Assault&safe=off&es_sm=93&biw=1073&bih=858&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=TtjnVMGFJsi6ggS1soLwBg&ved=0CAkQ_AUoAg], which came out in 2007 for PC and 360.

2. A real-time strategy where you have ants, or butterflies/moths (who have a ranged plasma-ball attack, I think) or other insects as your minions and want to destroy the other players hive.

I still don't know about this one. Were both sides insects? Or was it humans versus insects?

 

[tailer003]

This game appears to be very, very rare. Goldfields, from 1986 I think.

Spoiler: From the Play It Again Project - click to read

"Goldfields" is a simulation of a nineteenth century gold rush. It is designed to give students a "feel" for the social history of the gold rushes.

As a player, you are a recent, penniless arrival to Suze Port. To succeed in the game, you must survive the long and dangerous walk to the gold fields and then you have to become wealthy within one year. You can make your fortune in many different ways, including trying different kinds of mining, such as cradle and panning. Obstacles in the game include mine shafts that collapse, which can lead to you losing money while you're spending time in hospital. Other methods of making money include getting a job, becoming a shareholder in several companies, or becoming a thief.

A review of the game published in the "Australian Journal of Reading" in 1988 applauds the success of the simulation in transporting students to the life and times of the goldrush era. The review continues that although the games was created for use in social studies it has further application across the curriculum in as it offers skills in 'note taking, creative writing, art, drama and basic arithmetic. The ability of the software to support and encourage group work is also praised. The review ends by stating "The designers of Goldfields deserve full credit for effectively utilising the potential of the microcomputer and for the imaginative accompanying material." Reference: "Australian Journal of Reading", 1988, Vol 9, Issue 4, p. 268.

Weird! I believe what you're looking for is called Infestation. It's from 2000 for the PS1.

Then again, maybe not. I don't see anything Matrix-like in what I've seen. It's a pure driving game, and the initial minutes of

shows that it looks as if Bioware stole the ideas from this game to make the Mako for Mass Effect 1.

Hi there,

I have had a look through about 10 pages just to see if anyone has mentioned some games I have been trying to find with no luck, i only have very vague descriptions for these but I'm hoping someone might know of some.

First game: we used to have an old sega master system and when we didn't have any games in the console and started it, one had Alex the kid installed and the other had an original sonic game that i can't find anywhere, and of course its been a long time since we owned it. i remember it being the same as the one thats released at the moment but all the gems were scattered throughout the levels not on the bonus levels, the second or third level was a jungle where you could swing on vines and there was also a labrynth level towards the end that was an underwater maze, made of stone that was very different to the gardens level on acclaimed 'first sonic'.

Second Game: A really old western first person shooter type game, my uncle used to play it on his mac or apple or something like that, it was really well made, i remember there just being like a hotel/tavern and guys would appear in the windows and you would have to shoot them, but also it had a limit to how much ammo you could use and you would also have to reload every so often, making sure not to use all the bullets at once. i don't remember much more than that.

Third game: i think this game was on the sega master system, you played an cyclops or a strong man set in a Athens, greece type setting and you went around, birds eye view i think, and killed weird creatures i think with a bow or sword, there were trees and other stuff was an interesting game.

Fourth game: this is the game ive had trouble the most remembering and i think it will be the hardest to find because i think its a pretty quirky game from what i remember, an old pc game about maybe 1995 - 2005 im assuming, the most i remember from it was a crazy scientist guy similar to Einstein, had these crazy puzzles a really detailed amazing game that had amazing audio effects and there was also a train which i think the game was kindof built around i really can't remember that much of it because i didn't get to play it i just watched my friend on their computer, sad but true

Would be great if someone knew the name of the last 3, i mostly mentioned the sonic game just to see if someone remembers having a sega master system that did that fun times

 

[GamGrgak]

This is my last try at this. I understand that this game must be hard to find but nobody has any ideas?

It is a 90's 2D perspective in the likes of a point and click and a roam game (sort of like friday the 13th on nes)

You are in a high school trying to save your friends from I believe aliens.

When they get captured a cutscene is implemented and it shows the teens getting captured with their names on the middle of the screen showing what happend IE: "TOM HAS BEEN CAPTURED"

This has been on my mind for so long and it is driving me insane.

ANY help would be amazing thank you!

#2 could be Mad Dog McCree https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6BbjxAsdIg
Or it's sequel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6BbjxAsdIg

I believe they were PC only though. I could be wrong. I know I had it on PC.

Guys, i hope you can help me with this one :I

i've been searching it for a long time, but it's hard because i don't remember it at all @_@

i got it from a CD with some games, i used to buy a lot of those magazines that used to come with the cd's

it was an old 1st person 3D RPG game, with some kind of character creation, you walked around and could kill some monsters, wich i only remember some green creatures, like goblins or orcs, i don't remember.. they varied in size and strength. When you killed them, you earned some gold, and i think exp too..

i don't remember the scenario, but i think i remember some kind of desert, or yellow ground with some small sand dunes...

i searched the net for things like "old school rpg games" "old rpg games" and some of the magazines i used to buy like "CD EXPERT rpg games" "digerati rpg games" "full games rpg games" and so on...

i think it's an indie game and i won't ever find it again... but if i'm wrong, maybe someone will help me \o

[edit]
i played it somewhere between 2000 and 2006, most likely 2004

Hello everyone,

I have a game, I need a name.

Online game. You are a chicken. The goal is to throw your chickens splatting in your opponent's face on a 1v1 match inside a very simplistic corridor/box. To achieve so, you try to get your birds to bounce as many times as possible against the walls as they will gain speed.
You throw with the mouse. There is a tiny chatbox on the side for boasting purposes.

I played this about 10 years ago. I am fairly unsure that the game still exists to this day though.

I would greatly appreciate any help since it was on this platform that I found my first love (aww).

[Arkaney]

Ok, I have very vague memories about it. It's a PC side scrolling/platformer game. The protagonist's physique is a young girl's with a round head and skinny limbs. I played it around 2000-2004.

My sister's thoughts:
Storyline - A little girl goes into her uncle's/grandfather's bookstore/library and she goes around the back (out of sight from guardian) and some evil woman puts her into a storybook. She wears red like red riding hood.

The only stage in memory was where you have to rescue characters (little people maybe) from grassy-floating platforms.

Sorry but that's all I can scrape from my brain. I was about 7 when i played it but it was so amazing.

Do you remember anything else? Because what you have there is a very generic rpg description, and there are literally hundreds.
