OMG That is totally it!! HAHA! Woo! I love you 5eva!

Hehe not sure it's withstood the test of time as much as I was hoping, but it would be fun to try it out... now I'll have to try to hunt it down, for old time's sake!

Thank you so much!

Thanks for the reply

Hey people,
I played a game years ago, Im talking a good 10 years ago ish, and the game may have been old then, at a guess its from the 90's or possibly early 2000's. It's 2D Isometric if I remember correctly.I never did finish it as it bugged out, and I couldn't get the guy who I had gone to meet to activate the next part of the quest, I think he was Dionysus, or he was sending me to see Dionysus, one of the two.

I have looked for it several times and often think I have found it when I read the description of other games, only to see scree nshots and realise its not the correct game. So here is what little I remember in points.

1. Made in the 90's - early 2000's.

2. 2D, Sprite graphics, Isometric.(IIRC)

3. I think you speak to a wizard at the beginning, or very close to it, then you start out on your journey with the person you were living with IIRC, your uncle or father I think, and you wander through woods and other areas fighting things on the way, (you have mana and a sword. ) and meeting people and asking them questions for clues as to where to go next.
It seems to be set in ancient greco roman times, and several of the people you meet are from that mythos, there are Fauns /Satyrs in it, that have this awkwards looking animation where they kinda jump and knee you and make almost a skeep/goat noise as they attack, and I think maybe there was one of them who was either nice/on yourside or gave quest, the rest pretty much tried to kill you lol The last thing I remember about it is progressing through various areas and to some ancient ruins to meet various Gods and important people from teh mythos, and they keep sending you on the next and eventually comming to this village/town/city where there is a man who is either Dionysus or he is meant to send you to him, and there is someone else in the place too but other side.. but I never could beat this part as it bugged on me.There was fauns/Satyrs in this place too and would always attack you..it was highly annoying.

If anyone reconises this from my very vague destricption I would be forever grateful, I really want to go back and beat it if possible lol.

I just cannot for the life of me remember what its called, and my vfarious searches for it on google have often given me game titles that when I check their synopsis sound exactly right, but then they are always in 3D, or too new.

p.S - I played this on a laptop with Windows 95 , circa 2004-2005 (IIRC) amd as I said it may well have not been a new game then, as the game that came with the laptop had been my sisters.

Many Thanks in advance.

Titan Quest? Maybe?

TV Tropes even support the friendly satyr you remember.
"All the monsters and enemies in the game, only excepting a single centaur hero and a satyr merchant found in Greece, who are friendly."

I have already been through them, I think the game is possibly either too old or simply wasn't a success at the time, and was no doubt a minor title or something so wasn't included in their list, as I have been through all of them and searched screen shots and videos of them and none of them were correct.

Yeah it is very similar to Titan quest in some ways, but the game I am refering to is not 3D, its sprite based graphics with Isometric projection. I can remember those fauns/Satyrs really clearly, they made this annoying noise everytime they attacked you and done a weird jump..lol Ohhh how I hated them xP
There are several games that sound like they are the one I am looking for, but as soon as I see screen shots, or videos, or play them, I quickly see they are not the one I am looking for.

The most annoying thing is, that I have 'forgotten and found' this title several times over the last decade or so, and I always think "Right! Let me 'never' forget this again!" and I always do lol I mean, its not a 'great' game, its pretty buggy from what I remember and there was one or two 'really' bad bugs, one of which meant that you could no longer progress any further in the game..Which if I recall happened around the time of you meeting dionysus, either in the battle with him or just after it..my mind is hazy on that.

Anyway, thanks for the replies guys :b

hi guys, i am new here, but i am trying to find an olg game, an RPG i think, i belive the name of the game was Explorer, but every time i search for it i get results of internet explorer or dora the explorer XD. i was young when i play this game, i know that is for the pc and you have a 4 character party, a knigt a wizard a worrior and a thief/archer i belibe, it was a top veiw game, you could change your party members for others of the same type in diferenst areas of the map and the comon enemy (or at least the ones from the start of the game) were some pigmen like beast, what i realy remember about the game was the intro, it was a realy cool video about the 4 characters using their abilitys to get to the same room, the warrior breaks a wall with a punch, the wizard teleports there, and so on, thats all that i remember of the game, if enyone remember the real name, or if you know that explorer is its real name and i only need to search harder pls let me know. (sory for my english i know its not the best)

This isn't an old game. But I was wondering: Are there any good space 4X games where you can be a type 1, 2, 3 civilizations where you build ringworlds or Dyson spheres or any other mega projects like that?

I think <link=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Empires_IV>Space Empires IV allows you to build such things at the end of the tech tree somewhere.

I am looking for an old RTS game, all that i remember is that was kind of medieval setting, enemies had different colors, there were horses, it was 2D top-down. i don't remember if there were buildings, just lots of units it had pixel-like graphics i think. Not much to go on.

Maybe the graphics are too good but it sounds like it could be Total Annihilation Kingdoms

Hi, I am looking for two games that I briefly played in my childhood.

1- I am trying to find this arcade game that I played a couple of times in the past. I remember playing it in 1992 so it should be either from the late eighties or the early nineties but definitely before 1992.
I do not remember the name or much detail about it but what I remember is that its a beat em up arcade much like Ghouls n Ghosts in terms of settings and fighting demons and weird creatures.

I don't remember much of it but what I do remember is that the main character wears blue clothes and had a bright red hair. I also remember one of the levels which was in some sort of dark forest and you jump from tree to tree.

Sorry if this isn't much to go by but I was around 8 years old when I played this game and this is all I remember from it.

2- Another game that I am looking for is a Sega Mega Drive/Genesis fighting game. I do not remember the name of it but I recall one of the characters was in the form of an eagle. and it could fly and it had big blue wings and an eagle head.
Sorry this is all I remember from that game. But I don't think there are many fighting games with eagle fighters

Hope this help

The only Titan Quest-ish game (or RPG that involves Greek mythology at that scale) I can think of is
"Loki: Heroes of Mythology" (2007)

Came out in 2007 though, so it doesn't make it into your time-frame.

The Second one might be Alien Soldier ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alien_Soldier )
But it's not fighting game so I'm not sure.

[alalatttack]

Hi I cant remember the name of this game but I know I played it in 2012-2013 although it came out earlier most likely
you collected cards with different creatures on and they had different races of cards (undead, centaur ect) in battle you had lanes to put cards on and they summoned the monster with stats. then they would run at the enemys monsters and fight. it was turn based I think. Also they had a town that your character had and you unlocked different buildings like a tower where you fight until you lose or a crafting place to make new cards. I know one of the more annoying monsters was this wraith grim reaper guy who took like no damage from attacks. If anyone knows name of this game please help. It was on pc

EDIT: in battles its from a side on view not like magic or anything like that

I remember 2 games I used to play on the PC I think around the early 2000's, unfortunately not very clearly.
In the first one you would drive a futuristic vehicle on a platform, i think suspended in space, which was made out of square tiles that could fall down and leave holes in it. the visual was from above, and you had to hit the other vehicles trying to push them off of the platform or inside a hole before they did the same to you or killed you some other way. I believe there were powerups and perhaps you could jump on the tiles to break them and make them fall.

The second one i think was 2 players only, two guys on the opposite sides of the screen had to shoot each other while climbing on top
of the level to avoid the rising water that would kill you. i think you could collect different weapons, shoot explosive barrels and if
you died you would respawn inside a floating bubble, or float upwards some other way.

 

[SneakyBastard]

I had this game on ps1. It was an "open world" 2d world. The theme was me against the evil pigs. It was a platformer. And you could complete different quests throughout the game.

Hey does anyone remember this game?
You are controlling a team (probably a swat or navy seals like team) and you are in the sewers. If you lose all your members you have to restart. Then you have to command them where to go, and you can switch between members.
I think it was Ps1, and it was only singleplayer.
