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

[diablo rules]

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.

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

Devil May Cry 4 maybe?

Hi I really need help its been bugging me for a few days now it was a old PS2 game where you are chased by something that kills you and to survive you need to be near people before the clock hits the time for you to die u first solve the first puzzle by being near the crowd watching a man juggle. Thats all I can remember because I never finished it. If it helps on the box cover you see the player holding on to a ledge of a tower its in third person and I know its Japanese thank you to all that helps me

Hi I am looking for a game I used to play on the pc. it was a children's game where you were a spy or detective in a cartoon mansion and you had options to go into room to play mini games like - what/who am I? in the dinning room, make different meals like toadstool soup and slug pies In the kitchen, putting library books in right order in the library and solving puzzles with some portraits in the dining room as well. also the was a game room with pool and other small games. I remember playing it in about 2000-2004. it also had a small detective on the stating screen with a magnifying glass in their hands. thanks

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.

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.

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!

Disc world?

 

[loko]

I've had to sign up to ask this; it's driving me mad.

Two games I'm dying to find the names of.

1st one is a megadrive game, in which you control either a helicopter or a futuristic tank looking thing. It's a topdown shooter in a similar vein to Mercs. I seem to remember you could pick up a bubble shield that had 3 or 4 rotating bubbles around you. That's all I remember about it really.

2nd one is a pc game, a third person tank shooter. Silly cartoon graphics from what I remember, where you would play in different ears. So a stoneage tank that shot boulders, progressing up to modern day. You could shoot the sheep and they'd explode in cotton wool or something like that. I thought it was called Tiny Tank, but a search turned up nothing for me.

Hope someone knows these games!

Second one is Tanktics

Sorry I forgot to include in the post that it was a ps1 game

 

[Mikaela Amos]

-I don't have a lot to go on but this was a PS1 or PS2 game, i THINK you are a girl but for all i know there could be character selection and i THINK it was 3rd person.

-What i remember is being in a village/settlement near a castle, across a lake there is a tower or something where a witch lives and i THINK on the same side there is a secret cave..

- in the village is a shop where you buy stuff

-Also potions and trolls.

Sorry that's all i remember and it's been bugging me for years.

Hi
I've been really looking for this game.
It was a sega Genesis action game, there was two man looks like each other with different clothes color, I remember that to refill their health they hit a vending machine and drink what falls from it.
Thank you.

Hello all,

I have been trying to find an old game that I played on my PC using windows 98 so it must have been released in the late 90's. It was a Children's sidescrolling game where you were some sort of creature/monster hybrid and I remember that you started off in a big building (I think). When you exited the first building you could go left to bake a cake in a shop or go right and end up having to complete a sliding puzzle in a castle to advance to the next area (I have a feeling that a Wizard was the one that handed you the puzzle to complete). It had bright, colourful graphics and your characters made loud noises all the time when you moved around.

Regards,

Tim

Umm, I'd wildly guess it's "Drakan: The Ancients' Gates" (2002) for the PS2.

If not, I'd still play it. Love it. :-D
