Torin's Passage?

 

[lsu4u]

Here is one that has been driving me crazy for months:

A DOS game; takes place on a spaceship where you complete a series of mine-arcade game to save a king who is trapped in a large glass container with green jello. The king's container has a bomb on top which must be disarmed; the bomb has a component which is a mouse running in a wheel.... Any ideas?

PLEASE HELP!!!

I remember this game which was like some kind of race but in snowboards.
It was like on kind of anime and i remember you could use like items to stunt your oponents and things like that.

I played this game like 4 years ago on a SNES emulator on my computer, but my computer just stopped working and now i don't remember the game.

If you ever played this game or remember the name please tell me!! I'm dying for this game!!

Looking for a PC game that came out between 1995-2000 (could be 2001-2002). All I remember is playing as either humans or "greys" in the campaign. You had your basic soldier units, advanced units, flyers, etc. It's not Starcraft. I remember it had cinematics, too. One I remember distinctly was of some humans fighting some greys and one of the greys got their head blown off and it should the pulsing red insides.

Any ideas?

I want to say Mars something, or Red, or maybe I'm totally wrong. I remember also that selecting units when playing as the Greys would have this cheesy robotic voice. I remember "Trooper" sounded like Tooper.

Help! Any is massively appreciated!

Dark Colony! YouTube has the video I was talking about, too! Nostalgia fix, satisified!

 

[BigCat]

HELP!
I've been trying to remember this PC game for years, but the more I try to recall, the more it fades...
I think I was playing it a good 15yrs ago.
It was set in space, on a planet? You were a woman, possibly carrying out missions. Birds eye view, flying a spaceship/plane around a grid, much like grand theft auto. The play was interrupted by dialogue screens between characters. I remember there being an accident, and the woman character was now half robot.
That's all I've got...

Any help!

A few days late, but this sounds a lot like Traffic Department 2192.

You absolute beauty! I would never have remembered that! Thank you so much! I've been trying to remember that for years!!
1994....makes me feel old!

 

[kilvarough]

time to pick the brains of all of you out there . sony playstation (the first ps console) pre 2000 , what is the name of the game that is a tank based maze/puzzle type of game ? this game title has been driving me crazy for years lol .

 

[Ben137]

Hi, everyone, first off, this is brilliant, also I have been trying to remember the name of a game I played back in the 90s on PC, I imagine Windows 95.

All I can recall is it was some form of puzzle game, that involved time travel to historic places, I remember the pyramids in Mexico and being in a castle, any ideas? If it help I think it was a 3 or 4 disc game! Thanks.

 

[Ben137]

I have just found the game I was on about, if anyone is interested it was The Journeyman Project 2: Buried in Time

 

[Leah Stuart]

I have one that has bothered me for a long time. I know its not crash bandacoot or rayman. You are a small hairy guy and you run around completing tasks, and its very multicolored and there are giant exclamation points. Dont remember much about it, its a PS original game. Other than that I dont remember much. Everyone I ask about it says it doesnt exist, but I know it has to because I only played this game and Rayman. Help!!

I remember playing a game, I think it was for the PC, I am assuming it is rather old like released between 98-04. From what I remember it was a fantasy rts/strategy/or rpg. The game started out at a selection wheel where you picked from different races/elements. I could only pick from two different of the element things, one was a light based one, where I remember a light glowing mushroom and green naturey stuff. The other one was a fire dark skeleton race where I remember starting out with various units and the fight starting rather quickly, I remember loosing a lot.

Thats all I remember of the game, and I would really like to find out what the game was. Any help would be greatly appreciated

There was this demo I played. It was on one of those "100 great games" disks you could get at Wal-Mart and such. It was a game in space and you would fly around trading stuff. Buy low sell high kind of thing. You could upgrade your ship and had to deal with pirates and stuff. That's about all I can remember about it. Once in awhile I think about it but I lack the ambition to try to figure out what it was called. If anyone knows what I'm talking about it would be stuperpendous!

Sounds a little like elite but not the pirate part

I'm trying to find an old PC game. It was top-down, IIRC. Arena-style soccer, except you drove cars. Started with light little vehicles, and as you won you could work your way up to heavier and more heavily-armed vehicles. There were random 'tiles' on the arena floor that would accelerate or slow you, or one called 'vector-velocity' that just chucked you in a random direction. It might have been for Genesis instead of PC, but I don't think so.

This sounds like the game i've been looking for for a year now I played it on a friends 386 i'm guessing between 92 and 94 it was either on dos or win3.1 as you won matches you could upgrade your vehicle / car. you could also destroy the opposition players if you had a more heavily armoured car - i vaguely remeber one with teeth being able to eat the other team. My friend and i spent the whole night playing this game and drinking beer (possibly why i can't remeber the name) would love if someone could remember the name

cheers

Could this game be "Track Attack"?

Totally wild guess, but maybe either Tomba![footnote]It was called "Tombi!" in Europe[/footnote] or Punky Skunk?

Edit: Or maybe even Klonoa. There were a lot of colorful but relatively obscure 2D platformers on that system.

Edit Edit: If it's not exclusively 2D and 2.5D platformers, it might even be something like Spyro the Dragon. Go through the list <link=http://www.gamefaqs.com/ps/list-56>here and see if something rings a bell. It's only two pages long, and it contains (at least in theory) every platformer released on the PS1.

When I was a child I remember playing a game.

I'm almost positive it was for the SNES, but it had FF type graphics, and the main character was a knight of some sort in all blue with a blue cloak.

The combat was almost like final fantasy as well, but I've checked every one-- it's not FF.

I remember the combat was a mix of sorts, it had the old NES FF type battle system but it had better looking sprites.

And I think at the beginning of the game this guy is on a spaceship or an airplane of some sort

I absolutely hate my brain that I can't remember it-- I've tried google searching every last SNES game but I just can't find it.

I know it's really vague, but if anyone had at the very least a hint that'd be awesome.

its not snes. but a blue knight on an airplane sounds like alundra 2 for psx, hope that helps

 

[bobface]

ok this is such a vague memory so im sorry if its useless, but it was a ps1 game that was like a birds eye view ack and slash and you adventured through forests, if i remember correctly there where several different characters and races you could choose from.

also there was a sega game where you could pick from four characters and you had to go through levels collecting parts of a rocket and carrying them back to the start of the level to rebuild the rocket? please help ive been trying to remember for ages now
