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!
Was this on Pc?

Hi all !

Straight to the point. I'm looking for a game on PSOne. What I know about is that was some kind of fighting game, but you fight not to kill someone but to collect some sort of "rings" around the arena. When I say rings I mean sort of glowing circle field, at the start of the round those rings are green and when you step inside on them they become brown, when your enemy step on them they become blue. There's like 5-, 6-, 7- rings spread on each arena and the goal is to possess each one of them at the same time (so each one have the same colour), then you win a round and match is "the best of 3". Arenas are in 3D and multilevel where you can climb, jump, fight against your opponent but you cannot kill him only stun him for a few moments to give you time to collect those rings. There was also an option to play with four players 2vs2.


Apart from that you have basic characters at your disposal, each one of them have one unique attribute which is triggered once and then must have been recharged. For example one has short burst of quick run, another can jump high, another can struck the floor so opponent nearby is knock down for a moment, another can climb on the walls, another can teleport. You can play with your friend but there's campaign mode like in many fighting game, so you can unlock diffrent characters and arenas. You start choosing one character, at hard level of difficulty at least, and then you fight with every characters in this game until you fight at later stages against unlockable charakters and you must win against them to unlock them for your use and also their predominant arenas. The second last boss was the one who can teleport himself to the player position and the last boss was the one who can struck the player with auto-aiming lightning bolt.


Dunno about release date but I think this extensive description is good enough. Please help.

I used to play this computer game when I was a kid on Windows 98 or even windows 95
It started with this eerie black and white introduction that looked like pictures from the manhattan project
The whole game was inside I think it was a space station but you spent the whole time wandering around halls and going to people's doors
Weird that's not much to go on but if anyone knows anything

PS1, japanese game, the main character run around an aquarium/water theme park/zoo place doing different mini games, at some point there is a large MECHA involved where you pilot it and that mini game was about hitting the circle button as fast as you can to win, mecha vs mecha or mecha vs sea monster. There were dolphins.

Hey guys I've been searching for a game from my childhood for quite some time now. I don't remember much about it, only certain details. I played the game in the early 2000s. I know the main character was a wizard with a blue or purple hat. It was from a third person point of view and I think the first boss was a giant spider. Later in the game there is a castle surrounded by lava that required winged shoes to get to. Sorry for the lack of details.

PC game. I played it between 2002 and 2005. It's educational. Music education. We played it in our elementary school music class.

The game was dark. Point and click style. It was set in either a castle or a mansion. There were various rooms you had to enter: the dishroom, the princess' bedroom, the courtyard, the dungeon. The story progressed when you exited a room and returned to the hallway (main screen/home base type format) you'd witness the villain enter a room. If you followed him there, you'd play a mini game to obtain a key. The games would be educational such as pitch, aural skills, note lengths, note names, repeating back a melody, etc. In the dungeon there was a dragon would sometimes be asleep and sometimes be awake. I remember the dishroom was fun. I think the courtyard was one of the final places you could go, but I'm not sure.
It's infuriating to remember so much detail, just not the name of the game!

i have a very bad memory but here goes...

i do remember finishing the game, but i don't really remember what the ending was. :p

-i remember that it was an rpg ps1 game.
-your charter was male.
-you wake up and you can roam around the house/hovel.
-i remember that the game was very long and it was kind of a puzzle/maze type of game.
- i think you were maybe a mechanic or an engineer.
- i remember passing through a desert maybe or like a canyon or maybe a mining town. To pass through the town or place, people would ask you for something like find the oil, then give it to this guy and the guy gives you a wrench so you can fix the thing that is blocking the exit to the town...something like that.
- i also remember passing through a fairy town...to pass through that place you had to race on a ladybug/beetle i think and you had to win.

sorry this was all I can remember not even sure if what remember is 100% correct, but i hope someone played this game. ^^
OMGOMG you found it weeee thank so much <<<<<<<333333



I think the game you're talking about is Technomage. Or is this the wrong one? Here's a video of the bug race, let me know if this is it.

There's this game that I remember playing almost ten years ago, and I just started thinking about it again, for some reason--

It was an old 2-d platform game for PC, where you ran around with a shovel or a pickaxe, digging holes through the platforms for the monsters to fall through; you could collect shiny things like powerups, i think? The graphics were all fairly pretty, more like drawings than the pixel stuff. I think the main character's name was Billy. I think.

This is driving me absolutely off the wall.

ps: i looked up worlds of billy. that's not it, the graphics were much more... decorative than that.

Hi.

I'm looking for a game that I played a few years ago. I don't remember much of it, but I'll describe it to you as much as I remember.

You could pick a red car that can shoot bullets, a white car that could shoot tires or a bus that could fire rockets. There was one more car, but I don't remember it well. You had four maps on which you could have a fight against another car that would be one of those that you can choose. You could select a random map or a car. Words were written in green on the main menu. It's a simple 3D game with classic graphics.

As far as I remember the name, it was something like Car attack or Attack car. I've been looking for it over the internet for hours, but I couldn't find it.

Thank you.

Old PC game based on the rainforest?
This was a game I played probably in the 90s. It's based on learning about animals and the rain forest. You have a main "tour guide" type of character, who is a blue ant or beetle that might be wearing a safari hat. Does anyone know?

I was reminded of a game I played when I was very young via a dream last night. It was one of those JumpStart games; I can't remember which grade level, but it was on Windows 98. Its plt revolved around a play and all the games were components of putting on the play. Two parts I remember for certain were playing the piano for the music segment and there was a tree that taught you how to use money and to purchase the costume pieces. It's been boggling me all day!!

I have 2 that I would be immensely grateful for help with.

1st) A Nintendo 64 RPG where the main character had this mechanical hand on his backpack as a weapon and you were ruins explorers.

2nd) This one is a little harder/further back and it has been bugging me for at least 10 years. I think it was for the Sega Genesis and all I remember is that there was a sort of over world, top-down map with different areas you could enter. I think it was a sort adventure game, but after each area you got a djinn or elemental genie that followed you around and had a power you could use. The bit I remember with the most clarity is walking around with this red spirit that looked kinda like the genie from Aladdin.


Sorry if these have been asked before, I tried to read as much of this thread as possible before asking my own.
