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

I still hope

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.

I'll give you a nudge here. If you really want to find this game, try and remember something new about it, and provide some more details [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XmlXU4uK5rA].

You said the player character was a girl. What color was her hair?
How was she dressed?
Could she jump?
What was the combat like, if any?
What did the game over screen look like? What was the intro music like?
Was there a cut scene/intro montage at the beginning of the game? If so, what was it like?
You said this was on PC. Which OS was it? Do you remember which year or decade this was from?
Was this a game on disc that you had to install or was this a flash game?
Was this game part of a collection?
Was there any dialogue in the game or was it a wall of text?
What was the story of the game, if any?
What was the objective?
etc.

I believe that she had a normal dress, he looks are really foggy to me.
Yes she jumped since that was her major attack.
The game was in a sidescroller platformer setting so the combat was mainly like super mario you could say.
It was on PC windows, the decade was either late 90's or early 2000's.
it was on disc, installed.
Also not a part of a collection.
It had some text.
The story? I don't remember any particular story beyond the fact that it was set in fairy tale worlds like wonderland and hansel and gertel etc.
The objective also is a miss to me :/
Thanx for any help man.

Ok so im looking for a clue to a 90s computer game. Might be a Mac game that had a dog named blue that got kidnapped and his owner, a boy had to search thru buildings trying to find clues to who has him and where he is. I cant think of the name for the life of me! Please help.

I remember some old-ish PC game where you play as a party of 3 or 4 different aliens (single player 3rd person action game, somewhat fast paced). You could customize them, e.g. making one of them a brute, another one agile, etc... You could customize their colours too. When starting up the game, I remember the main menu being a huge spaceship thingy...? After starting up, you end up on a planet, full of weird, hostile creatures. I believe you could also switch between the characters. Had some interesting bgm too...
What's this game called? >_<

Hello
I'm wondering if u guys can help me find 2 games i played back in the day and now i cannot seem to find...

First it's a strategy game where u build these multi-level cylindrical buildings as part of an off-world colony on some planet and that's about all i can remember....

Second it's a game somewhat similar with X-COM series but u only had one guy to run around with and u had the choice to cyber-upgrade yourself all the way up to the brain (that would give u a bad end tho).

Thanks.

Years ago I remember playing what I think was a beat em up for the snes. I think you had the choice of playing between two or three characters and depending on which one you chose determined what mission you played. I only remember playing with two guys. One was a big guy who fought with his fists and I believe he was wearing a sort of green suit. I can only remember playing with him on the first mission and beating up an enemy vehicle outside in the street. The other guy is also wearing a suit (can't remember what color) but he was average size and had claws just like wolverine. I think I can remember using his claws to climb the walls inside a building in the game. Anyways, hopefully somebody has played this game before and can tell me what the name of it is. Thx

I still hope too that you can find my game. Any ideas are gladly received.

Hi! I have been searching this game for 5 years, I have tried everything. I think I was playing it in 1999-2002, it is a pc game and I had its disk, but I couldn't find it. It was taking place in a planet away from earth. The player can control 4 characters with the characteristic buttons: f1,f2,f3,f4 (that's how I named the game and forgot it). The characters were humans who wore uniforms that covered their whole body and face. So, the first one had a blue uniform and had a normal height, the second one had a green uniform with a horn-like edge on his head and had the same height with the first one, the third had a grey uniform and was significantly taller and wider than the others and the fourth had a red uniform and he was short and thin. The characters had upgrades that were adding something like stickers on their uniform. The background was like "the journey" but with older graphics and was more pale. I can remember some weapons like the canon that transformed his hand into a small canon and the claws that transformed both his hands into claws. I can't recall the aliens that I was killing. During the game the player could change character and when he is controlling a character the others were moving randomly. It's a 3rd person 3d game and the player could move freely (it should have an invisible barricade, but i never found something to restrict my movements). I am quite certain for all of these.
Thanks in advance.
Also it's grafics were remarkable. With 3d game I mean 3d as we say nowdays, full depth realistic grafics, not with squares and dots.

Hello,
I'm currently searching for this game, old PC game actually. I played it was 2003, so the games might be around or before that year.
It's about you, walking around on an island, filled with walking and talking cats, there's also a single robot.
The only way that you can interact within the game is by typing and enter the command, then the NPC will reply to you.

There's also a mini-game where you need to find crystal as fast as you can.

Hi, guys!
I am looking for an old PC game. I played it as a kid in 1996 the latest, but I think it was made way earlier, because it had the squarest graphics I have ever seen. It's an isometric view horror game in a house full of monsters. Can't remember what the exact objective was, probably look for keys and don't die or something. Each room would appear on a new screen and you could move one square at a time like in sokoban.

What game could it be?
Thanks!

Hi Hi!

i played this back in 2004 or 2005, it had a male or female main char. if i remember right, you could play dual with another person, think it was PS1(80% sure?) it had a medieval setting, speaking to NPCs did a closeup of their bust. one of the biggest things i remember was spending hours in tunnels, moving boxes around to get from one area to the next, and lots of chinking potions hitting the ground, mana and health, along with small piles of gold and gear. if you picked up too much it would say "im overburdened" and you would be hit with a penalty, i think, to speed. i also recall it saying "Arc the Lad" on the top of the case behind the title tho that wasnt the title and all searches i have done to try to find it based on that have left me empty handed and looking at screen shots that look nothing like the game im trying to remember...Help? :S

Thanks!

Sorry this doesnt ring any bells dude i think it was a little bit more modern and less skyrimy with the potions and stealing bread.

Are you absolutely certain it wasn't a Thief game? Because the Thief series hits so many points. I'm not really sure what you mean by "less skyrimy", but as to more modern:

I'm not hopeful, but I'm going to give this a try.

1. I played this at my uncle's house, a very old game. It came on a cassette tape and took about twenty minutes to load up. It was text only and was about finding someone, I think. You start off having breakfast with your wife maybe, and then you hear about a mystery and you go and collect clues and talk to people. The game was extremely complex and it came with a map of the city so you could use the cabs. The NPCs actually had different schedules and acted on their own and time passed with every action you took. It was entirely text inputs like 'Read Newspaper' 'walk left' 'open door' that kind of thing.

2. A PC game with a graphics style and setup similar to the early Dragon Quest/Warriors games, like NES/SNES era sprite art. It was a stereotypical Japanese RPG, I think you started out in a castle with a king or something. As soon as you walked outside though, the random battles were strange. They were against all kinds of naked men. I remember cherubs and men in trench coats that flashed you, but not much else. I don't think it was an actual porn thing so much as just one of those really weird Japanese things, like Cho Aniki but a turn based RPG instead. The entire game was in Japanese, I really doubt there is an English version. I played this no later than 2005 or 2006, but it may have been an earlier game.

3. A game for Mac (may have been a PC version) that my school's computers had. You solved mysteries by visiting locations on a map and gathered clues by talking to townsfolk. You could choose to play as a girl or a boy, I think one rode a skateboard and the other had roller blades but I may be confusing it with another game.

Hi guys, I'm really wanting to find an old PC game, from around 1993 possibly. Basically you could either pick to be a male or a female and you would guide them through a pathway of life.

There was a cafeteria where you had to choose the most healthy options of food, choosing whether they smoked or drank and how they exercised and the character would change how it looked depending on what you did to it. So if you feed it junk food and didn't exersise it would be fatter.

Then at the end you have to race in the river Nile against another character and if you weren't fit enough, you'd get eaten by a crocodile! I loved this game so any help would be much appreciated. I think it has the word "professor" in the title, or "Body parts"..

Hi folks!

I'm trying to remember the name of an old PC game from about 94-98. I'm sure it was turn based though it may have been an RTS. It was only the demo I played. I played it vs AI and I had a base though it was more like a fountain. I would place my units in it to upgrade them (I think) or just spawn more/better units from it. The starter units were humanoid and I remember the graphics being somewhat bubbly. I think one of the teams colours were purple. I can vaguely remember the map being like a platform of joined squares and there were gaps in the middle of it. If I remember more details I will post.

Thanks for reading.

Hi all. Thanks so much for this forum. I've enjoyed reading through many pages of requests and discoveries - really appreciative!

I've got a game that's been bothering me for a long time...

JRPG style, something like Suikaden/Lufia II/Terranigma graphics wise
So far the best gameplay comparison I can find is Suikaden (the original)
Latest production date would be 1996. Probably 1992-1994. Could be first generation Playstation, SNES, NES or anything older...
No CGI cut sceens - so not Seiken De... or Wild Arms, too Playstation "3d" graphics.

Like I said Suikaden reminds me of it the most - the imagery, the style of combat

But I just watched an entire runthrough of Suikaden on youtube and I didn't see this very specific scene I remember...

At some point the characters are trapped in like a pit trap.
At some point the characters participate in some sort of running event/race/have to run to get away...

Of course I could be misremembering, but those are the vivid memories.

I would have been playing this sometime between 1993-1996, I was 7-10 years old.

It was the son of a babysitter who owned it.

Thanks so much!!!
