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

[goldevil]

Fellows, also a game I can't find a name for. I played this on either Sega Mega Drive or Game Gear - not sure, sometime probably in early 90s.

It is a side-scrolling game, with the character running from left to right. The first stage looks like a desert, and there are large claws or spikes that come out of the ground and potentially kill the character. I don't remember much else except the music. It was very emotional and catchy. The character may have been a Ninja or Samurai or something like that. The word shadow rings the bell, but I cannot find any game with the word shadow from that era that looks like this game.

Edited to say I found the game. Shadow of the Beast.

I for the love of heavens sake cannot find this blasted game from grade school days. I found gizmos and gadgets but the one I'm looking for was where you mixed helicopter parts, plane parts, rocket parts and a whole bunch of other stuff to make a machine that would past some sort of test and the doctor dude would always yell.


YES YOU KNOW IT!

Hey all, I've suddenly remembered a game I played probably some time around 2004-2005, it was a 3d futuristic game, I believe a shooter. It was set outdoors, or at least the level I played was, in a sort of an arid grassland almost halo like environment. I think there were vehicles? It was a demo, and there were two parts to it or something to that effect, the other part had an elf or alien protagonist or something? I'm really sorry, I know this isn't much to go on, but if someone remembers what this is that would be amazing! I think I found it somewhere on the internet as a downloadable game, it wasn't browser based

That could be Giants: Citizen Kabuto.

Checked the video and no, that's sadly not the game. It was more modern science

Alright I have a bunch of games that have been bothering me for years.
1. I believe this was a PS1 game I had it on a demo disc I think you're a spy and on one part of the game this lady tells you to look at her if you look the wrong way she shoots you (it took me a couple turns because I recall if you hit the left direction button which is also the way the lady is your character turns right so it had a reverse control scheme.) At the end of the demo the character is talking to I guess his boss through a monitor in a vehicle and that's where the demo ended.

2. My grandma had some caveman game on her pc you had to go around get food gather I believe diamonds and you had to watch out for other cavemen from killing you all while trying to survive

3. Along with the caveman game she had some army game I believe it was called something like full metal combat but the screen had a top view you were just an army man in a ditch and you had to fight the enemies off

 

[jjohnnyr]

one Is a dig dug like game where you play as a criminal or fugitive and i think theres police monsters or people that are the enemies, and think you drop rocks on them by digging up to it but can kill yourself if you stand under it, pretty sure its a pc game and also i think its around the 2000s mayby early 90s.
sorry cant remember more.

And i got one were you build all kinds of stuff i think or mayby houses idk, som lego-ish thing, i got it with a Kellogs CD with 100 or 250 games or something and i remember the game always starting with some girl saying animals.

Thanks in advance^^

Need Help finding this old PS2 or Original Xbox FPS military style Game.

OK, in February 2005 or in December 2006 I went to that store that is no more called: Circuit City. So you know how in the old days they had a PlayStation 2, Original Xbox and the Nintendo Game Cube in stores so people can play them and try out the demos they had in the system (I'm guessing it was one of those Demo disc's.) I can't really remember what system I played it on, but I know it was either the PS2 or the Xbox. So I choose a demo that was a military modern combat FPS game. so when the mission started it opened with a cutscene of a Black Hawk Helicopter landing with the cockpit facing the left or the right (I can't really remember) landing in the jungle or woods area. and you started with a team of a few soldiers and you had a M4 assault rifle with like a silencer and a scope and maybe a grenade launcher too, and your sidearm was a M9 pistol with a silencer too.

(The M4 Rifle looked very good, this was the first game that I saw a M4 rifle with so many attachments to it like in the Movie Tears of The Sun which I watched in 2004. so before I played that demo I never saw a game with the guns like that before.) So I didn't got to even play the demo at all because my dad was leaving and I had to go, but I did fool around a bit without going anywhere in the game. like figuring out the controls. the game had a good night vision (The night vision looked great like in the Ghost Recon Games, but it's a ghost recon agme) and it was day time, also you had a little map on the corner left or right can't remember and the enemies ahead looked like red dots on the map. before I left with I advanced forward there were some enemies near some trees ahead, I never even got to read the name of the game or nothing. but later that day or another day we went to the store Target and there were also PS2's and Xbox's there and it looked like it was the same game on, but on a different level. this time you were on a mini bird (small helicopter) or just a black hawk with the same M4 rifle and there was what looked like a send storm or just lots of send cause of the helicopter.

I have bought and played many games thinking it was this game but they weren't. it's not any of the Ghost Recon games, nor the Black Hawk Down games. the 3 games that I thought for sure that could be were: America's Army Rise of a Soldier for Xbox (you get here the M4 with attachments, I played this game and it's not it) Shadow Ops Red Mercury (you do play in a mission where it's in the jungle but it doesn't have that cutscene nor the M4 with the attachments) so last year I thought it was the game: Close combat First to Fight, because of the little red dots on the map. but I played that game and it's all in the city warfare not in the jungle.

So if anyone remembers playing a game like that from 2004-2006 can you help me find it? I have been looking for this game for years now! if you want me to give you more details tell me on what? maybe I can remember?

 

[Weaver]

I dunno man, this really sounds like pretty much every generic military game out there lol.
Was there anything particularly identifying about its gameplay?

 

[baddude1337]

Could it have been that Xbox version of Operation Flashpoint? OFP: Elite I think it was called.

Also might have been the console version of Battlefield 2.

 

[mannyt]

I know haha but on like other games this had that starting cutscene where it the helicopter was landing and in jungle. oh, and I think you could order your teammates. I can't really remember nothing else.

 

[mannyt]

baddude1337, I don't think it was the operation flashpoint xbox version game, it doesn't look like it. but I saw some videos of Battlefield 2 Modern Combat (the original xbox version game) and it does look like it, because it has missions in like sand areas and in the jungle. I just need to find out if it has the landing with the helicopter in the jungle in a cutscene. ah, I remember that I bought in new years of 2006 Socom 3 U.S. Navy Seals for the PS2 cause of the game cover you know? with all the M4 attachments thinking it was that game but it wasn't.

Hey there guys, there's this game I played a long long long ass time ago, what I describe might be a mix of like two or three games though.
Here goes.

The first thing I remember about this game is that it has a turn based strategy system, similar to Final Fantasy Tactics or Disgaea. The next thing I remember is that one of the beginning levels was a snowball fight between children to introduce you into the game and the mechanics.
This is where my memory might be placing another game into this slot of good game times; Next I remember being placed in like a top down perspective of a sort of cave as a character sprite, your character progresses through the cave and I remember there being a chest with a scroll with some sort of usable magick and a fountain to restore health on the other side, the area is filled with random encounters until you reach the end area where you are faced by a large monster, using the scroll the monster is easily dealt with. Then something happens with some dialogue about Light. Either collecting the Light or being keepers of the Light, something along those lines. Keep in mind this might be an entirely different game than the first.
Next thing I remember is there being an interesting combat system like Disgaea where the player is given characters and monsters that can be spawned through use of a crystal, I don't remember much except for there being an air-ground-XXX combat system and some other things. This also might be an entirely different game.
Another thing I remember is that early game the player meets an old friend of his that joins his party and then they can proceed, there is an optional cave along the path with enemies at a far higher level than the player should be able to face. I believe it was skeletons.

I don't know if I described one game or four, what I know is that this made up my childhood and I wanna play them again fully.

 

[justAstranger]

There is this old PC game that I remember playing when I was younger. I am am unsure of whether it was on a demo disk or not but it involved you controlling a flying green triangle of some sort to capture towers or bases as the enemy did the same. The more towers you had control of the more units spawned. The arena was grey and was in 3D. Sadly this is all I remember of the game.

 

[Jollycoptor]

Ok, there is this learning game I used to play as a kid in 1st grade I think.

I think it is for the older Mac System 7, or above or below.

The game is 2 dimensional.

The game features a wizard, as an antagonist, and he turns you into a frog. If you do something wrong, he shows an angry face, and a scary tune is played. If you do something right, he crosses his arms and shows a face of approval, and another tune is played. What is funny is that I remember the tune perfectly. If only I could provide audio somehow and reproduce the sound

I know it sounds a bit vague, but I do not remember how the core gameplay works. I think you just have to answer questions or solve puzzles, in order to get the wizard to turn you back.

I do remember that the game is made with an exploration feature, and shows a static screen for separate rooms in the wizards 'castle', or whatever.

I cannot for the life of me find this game. I googled everywhere.

[EDIT] : Right after I posted this, I found out that it might be Mind Castle: Spell Of The Word Wizard, I can't know for certain, but it does look like what I have described.

I'm fairly sure that the snowball fight was from "Final Fantasy Tactics Advance".

Ok, there is this other game I was looking for, which I cannot find for the life of me.

It is a board game, where you play as different colored ice cubes. In various parts of the game, you can transform into liquid or gas. It was a very colorful game. I don't remember it too well, but I remember that it was for kids, and that it was an educational game.

I remember it does have voice acting in it. On one game board tile, you melt the ice on a grill or something, and you hear him go 'ah ah ah, ahhhhhh..". Lol I know, it's weird. but I remember it.

I think it is for the computer, and it is 2d, and it is for an older computer (around DOS - Mac System 7).

I just don't know the name of the game.

i've never seen a forum with this much game forgetting

 

[Stephen Rude]

This is an old Iphone game I remember seeing back in fifth grade, i swear it was called pocket tribe, but it's not (or its not here anymore.) anyways, the way it worked was, you could pick them up and fling them. sometimes they would interact with the background, and if you did things right, you could do things in the foreground as well. thats about all i remember about it though

 

[CallMeShark]

Played this one in the 90's MAYBE early 2000's on PC. It was an old RPG style game with swords and monsters and the like. Bird's eye view, very basic graphics, no character animations, one arrow key would move you one space and every time you moved a space the monsters around the map would also move. I think you could choose to play as either a man or woman and I think you could also get new weapons/armor. I know it's a long shot but that's about all I remember. Any ideas?
