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

[Vishonov]

Hi guys,

I'm looking for a computer game, early to late 90s.

The game was a mashup of side-scrolling space fighting a-la Zero Wing and Shoot'em up from a diagonal point of view.

You started off every "world" with space fighting and then you land in different levels and like continue by foot.

Thanks in advance,

-A.

I've posted this 3 other times already, I really hope you guys can help me with this, since It's been a long time I last posted this.

I remember very little of the game.
It was for the PlayStation 2.
I played it between 2003 and 2005.
If I'm not mistaken, it was fantasy-based.
You were a girl, in the middle of the forest (not a regular forest, a kind of... "futuristic" forest.) and you could skate around...
I'm pretty sure that wasn't the whole game, but a mini-game or something.
I also remember some of the start screen (at least I think it was the start screen) where it appears some letters, which are the name of the game, but I can only seem to remember the letters: SH
I'm not sure if it was in the start, middle, ending, I can't remember at all.

Would be great if you guys could help me.

Thanks.

What about a style of the game? Is it cartoonish, anime style or realistic? 3rd person view? Genre?
We really want to help you but you need to remember more information.

This one is going way back, it's a game I used to play in the arcade room in 1982-1983. Because I was so young could never get past level two, would go home at night and remember the tune playing in my sleep, would love to find it now.

All I can remember a guy/girl having to fill in squares, like painting the outside lines, you had to get all four corners in order to fill in the square, before the bad guys killed you. Once you got one square, you could try to fill in the surrounding areas, unless the bad guys were hanging around.

Okay, so It's been so freaking long I can't hardly remember anything about this game.
From what I remember, it was on the PC. It was a side scrolling game sort of like Prince of Persia, set in middle ages. The main character is framed for some kind of crime, and the first bit is about him escaping. He's armed with a dagger, I think, and the guards have spears, so you have to run away since you can't get close. The villain was the Earl or something. I remember that the main character goes to the sewers of the city, where he encounters puddles of slime on the ground, they's extend a tentacle of slime and attack the player (I believe he's armed with a dagger), and if you tried to jump over them, they'd extend to the roof, engulfing you, stay there for a moment, then sink back to the ground revealing a pile of your bones. Additionally, there were crushing ceiling traps, pitfalls, and other things... I think that the character's health is indicated with clovers or green leaves? Also, a line at the end of the game sticks out in my head, where the villain says "Prepare to Die" and your character, snarky as he is, says "Oh, prepare to die yourself."

These are the only details about this game I can remember.

This is more or less copy/pasted from an earlier post of mine, with a couple more details added. Still haven't been able to find a damn thing on it myself.

Ben kenobi:
Hi guys, got a tough one for you!
Ok, pc space flight sim/adventure game.
Around mid 90's
Had a purple box.

So from what I remember you had a ship that you could use to warp/jump from location to location but when an enamey was between locations you would have to drop into space and fight them before you could reach your destination.

you could travel to different planets and space stations and and talk to people in bar's and things.Each destination had its own different environment race even music.

You could also buy new ships and ammo to upgrade you on your travels.

This has been bugging me for years! I've grinded the Web and images of vintage pc games with no success!

If anyone could help i'd be amazed and very greatful.

Your description of the game sounds like "Master of Orion" to me.
https://ru.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_of_Orion

Sorry it's not this.

It looks cool though.
It was more realistic and you the spaceship part of the game was more like x wing.

Are you sure it's not Master of Orion? Maybe it's sequel.
Well I know more games like this.

Box cover is not purple though.

Alright, this game is going to be hard to explain because i remember So little about it. Here are some things i do know

-It was a game similar in style to Colosal Adventure by Enterprise Games
- The character that you played was a bear.
- At some point there is a cabin that you come across, and you get the choice to eat the witches meal/drink her potion, or turn around

Now the only thing i can remember , and even then this memory of what the bear looked like is mixed with Corduroy the Bear, but he wore green overhauls.

I know thats not much to go by, but here is a visual of the game Colossal Adventure.

Older game I think ps1
You play as what I remember a human from an isometric view
The goal as far as I remember was collecting colored orbs
But you against an enemy that also collected them
The enemy as well as the level theme would change every few stages
I remember teleport pads being introduced at some point as well at other weird things
One of the enemies I believe was wearing a diving helmet and his stage theme was like an outdated bioshock
I don't think you could actually hurt them in any way the game felt more like a race than anything
At the end of levels I recall a screen that would show you how many orbs you collected of each color

Hi, I'm looking for an old(ish) PC game (DOS but more probably Win95/98).
It is a platformer with a tiny wizard, but it is NOT Hocus Pocus. Though that is the most similar thing in the universe I guess. The first levels are in a nocturnal setting with oversized frogs, high grasses, maybe the moon in the parallax background. The plot starter, if I remember correctly, is a pretty stereotypical abducted fiance/princess/whatever related to the protagonist.

This has been bothering me for so long, I hope someone can help me find the name of this game!

I remember playing a shooter game on the PS1 when I was a little girl. I don't know what type of shooter it was- I'm guessing 3rd person but I could be wrong. All I remember I had these guys in hazmat suits trying to help me shoot bad guys that were on top of a building. If you accidently shot them they would turn on you and kill you! This is all I remember. The guys might have just been there for that one level/mission. Hope someone knows the name, thank you!

Nice lol

As so many before me, I just had to register to find a game from my childhood.

I played it on Amiga 500. Release year must've been late 80s / early 90s. Some of the other games I still remember playing around the same time were Duck Tales and Rainbow Island.

This one was either a side scroller or it had rooms. Side-view anyway. I think the game had a single character you played with, a professor of some sort, if my memory servers me correct. I vaguely remember there being four different levels you could choose from in the beginning. The player had an inventory and you could pick up items and use them in appropriate spots. I still remember how one of the levels was completed in a screen where there was a steam/water pipe and I think you had to either open a valve or break the pipe as a final step. I remember water rushing out just as the level ended.

One of the other levels had a scene I think you arrived from the left side of the screen. You were standing on a platform and down below there was an alligator monster. The exit was in the other side. I never managed to get past the thing by jumping over. It always caught me.

Still in one of the levels I got stuck in a screen that you ascended into climbing a ladder, I think. The scene had a spacey feeling to it and, every N seconds, the professor showed signs of what I remember interpreting as freezing, like shaking from extreme cold. You could hardly make a few steps to any direction in the screen before you got killed by the atmosphere I suppose.

I've googled for hours and skimmed through game lists, looked at screenshots etc, but never found release.

Hi everyone! I have this game that's been bothering me for the past year or so, and my google searches have yielded nothing that can help. My general inability to provide anything TRULY helpful might also be a bit of a hindrance, however, here it goes:

This game was something I played I think around 1998 - 1999, and I remember it being a very simple flash/shockwave point-and-click detective game. If I remember correctly, the detective - an English man with dark hair - was solving a murder and the clues ended up taking him all around the victim's vast estate and into town. At one point, the detective was on a literal goose hunt which lead him into a hedge maze.

I wish I could be more specific, but this is all that I have to go off of at the time being. I hope this can help someone find my game, but if not oh well ^.^

 

[Nathaniel Trovela]

Can you guys help me find the name of this game because its really irritating not to remember the title lol. The things that I can remember about the game is that:

*its an rpg game ( turn based i think like final fantasy 7)
*there was part of the story where you'll need to survive in a monster arena and kill the monsters released in the town or city
*Theres this enemy, a guy with white hair and his name starts with D. Not sure if its Dia or Dante.

I know it's kinda vague but suggestions are welcome
