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

[diablo rules]

I am looking for a game I use to play a lot on the arcade machine (usually game starts with a coin) The game was just like a regular mahjong game differences being you have to collect sets of 3 instead of 2 and you have a tiles selecting box at the lower left hand corner of the screen where you collect the tiles, it has 9 or may be 10 spaces so you have to play really carefully not to pick the tiles when you cannot find the complete set. You also have things like a Bomb and an undo (only both of them can be used one time only ). I never got the name as the game was in Chinese or Japanese may be.

I'm looking for the name of some kind of adventure game set (I'm pretty sure) in the present; I played it in school on an Apple (I believe) sometime between 1988-1990, and it was relatively new so probably released in that time. Because we played it in school, it must not have been violent. There was some kind of mystery to the story which you had to unravel, I think (it was definitely not "Mystery House"). I recall it had wireframe/vector graphics, and if it wasn't in black and white, then it had a limited color palette. I'm pretty sure it was 1st-person POV, and your character walked fluidly through its world. The only distinct location I can remember was walking through a gazebo, and I think it was generally set in a town and you interacted with other characters.

The game I'm looking for was from the 90's, and it was some kind of FPS-RTS in a sci-fy theme. You used a hover-tank and could call for airdrops to create buildings, grow your own army and give them orders. I remember the enemy units being like aliens or droids, all painted black with red lights. Also, the cover of the game had a black guy with a red cyborg eye wearing a white-blue camo. That's all I can remember about this awesome game.

Hello guys. Hoping you can help me. Been looking on-&-off for about a year...

Unfortunately, I remember very little about the gameplay. I think it may have been an early space-based top-down RTS, but, like I said, I have very little memory of the game play. One detail sticks out: pit-mining. Resources were gathered in the game by pit-mining (Earth? The Moon? Alien planets or asteroids? I have absolutely no idea... the surface was quite grey though). But you had to survey the surface, which cost some resources, and then, if you liked the results of the survey, you would place a mine, which carved out the landscape in a great circular pit mine.

I _think_ resources were used to build ships, but I'm fuzzy on that, and I really can't recall what else you might have spent the resources on, or even what you did with the ships (assuming I've even got that part right...).

One detail I'm absolutely firm on: the soundtrack featured Holst's "Mars" _very_ prominently.

It was a PC game, and from the mid-90's; definitely no earlier than '92, and likely no later than '97.

Thanks in advance guys!

Thanks diablo rules, but that's not it. It wasn't building a city in a meteor crater, it was mining out a virgin surface; the resulting pit mines _did_ bear a resemblance to meteor craters... Also, the planet-view was absolutely top-down, not angled.

If you played it in school there are high possibilities that the game was part of the Microzine series of educational software by Scholastic for Apple II. It won't be easy to track down your particular game on the web. You can try to look for something on ebay, for example

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Microzine-Jr-1-by-Scholastic-Apple-II-IIe-IIc-or-IIGS-64K-/151597526566

and see at the back of the box if something rings a bell. If nothing comes out, well...the last (painful!) thing you can do is download each game... there are around 150 games and they are easy to find with google then play them with an emulator!

I hope that one day I will actually find this game

Guys i have been trying to find this thing with no luck. I remember when I was a kid playing a game. A side scroller platformer one in which you played as a girl and the setting of the game was all these fantasy fairy tail worlds like Hansel and Geretel and Wonder land. I have been trying to find it for a really long time now. Anyone that knows which game I am talking about? It was on PC and you would have enemies like queen of heart's soldiers that were cards or in Hansel and geretel world chocolates and ice creams and stuff like that.

Nope & nope. Thanks though. The game I played didn't have any city-building to it. The ground was definitely grey.

Sorry, the only thing I could come up with (mostly going the Holst route) was Outpost.

Am looking for a game from at least 10 years ago (possible 15-20?) which was a 2D top down map, it was an online multiplayer RTS, medieval themed, in which you had/built a city, to build military (i think it was archers, melee & catapults/siege).

Now the difference (between other similar game - like stronghold etc.) was, there were several (4?) powerups on the map, that increased (food production, growth etc.) and I believe that holding these earned you real life money.

There must have been some sort of pay to increase your stats, which then split some of the funds to the server, which allowed for the money to trickle out to the players, those who held those special powerups (I think they were spheres?)

Can anyone remember playing it? Does it even still exist any more? I saw there was a similar, more recent game released (2008?) castle something (?) but looking for the OLD one, of course

THANKS!!!

Bump for luck.
Or any other (newer) game with similar aspects (mainly the pay for strategy/holding style (and not completely P2W)), seemed like a good game

HELLO guys ! ehm i was googling for two straight hours to find what i wasted my childhood at with no luck till i found someone here asked about the same game i was looking for but no one answered him and the poor guy disappeared in 2013

I've been wondering about a game for a while. It has been quite a while since i played (probably close to ten years) and i can't remember its name. It was a game where different insects fought each other. One species was yellow and that was the one that the player was most often (in my memory at least) and they were like beetles or something and they had cannons and they attacked other species and colonies. Another species were the spiders with the black widows who may or may not have been green. I know that you controlled the bugs from a bird's eye view and it is an RTS. Thats pretty much all i can remember about it, but if anyone could help me think of this game, it would be greatly appreciated.

i have some info too , when you destroy a specific colony you take there home and they start produce the same incest under your color . There were beetles , spiders , black widows , ants and every species had there unique fighting style .
anyone knows the game ? i had the demo back then and played it for MONTHS and i never experienced the whole game please any help would be appreciated ..



-----

there is another game i played on pc around 1998 , it was a square coloring party game with 4 players ( blue - red - yellow - green ) you have to circle around the square to change the inner color and the character you control was like a space little mobile tv ( like the one on borderlands 2 ) and you compete on a Ring-like space station or flat square cowboy arena and there were power-ups to help you color a whole line or switch another player color and some rockets to stop them for a second ..

i googled a lot a couple of times and no luck so maybe one of you veteran guys played it and still remember the name .. thanks alot for reading

Hello. Years ago i used to play a demo version of little maze game. It was about blue ball trying to escape for castle i think. I was playing it in about 1998, maybe even earlier. Cant really give more details since that is everything the game was about. Going from room to room with rolling blue ball avoiding traps and such. Hope you guys can help me.

Hi guys, trying to remember a game i played back in the 90's. It was on the PC and I think it was a Windows 95/98 game. It was shovelware, and I remember the CD cover and the back to be yellow. The game features two brothers, one dressed in blue and the other in red. You controlled the blue one while the computer controls the red one. It's a puzzle game, with all sort of challenges, I remember there being a game similar battleship, and peg solitaire being one. The point of the game is to collect clues of the princess' location throughout various points on the map. You moved throughout the map through dice rolls. I think the blue brother's name stated with a H and the other brother started with a P (I keep thinking its Hogi and Pogi). If anyone knows the name of this game, I would greatly appreciate it!
