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

[Pixelhunter]

Hello Everyone
I hope someone can help me.
I'm looking for the name of a game - I had it on CD 1995 .
There were different guns and machines, the higher you go in the levels, the more ammunition you got and the more advanced your gun/machine. There were 9 levels and I beat the 'beast' once up to level 9. I loved to play the game with my son [btw I'm female! ] I am so looking to play that game again. You had to fight off this 'machine' [gun] that was also getting more advance with more guns and features the higher you moved in the levels. I think on the cd label it had the word 'arcade' too.
Hope to hear from you soon!
Thanks!!

Sorry but I can't get the picture of your game, was it a first person shooter like Halo?, or a side-scrolling game like Mario Bros.? what was the 'thing' you controlled in the game, a human? a spaceship? or just a gun? I have the feeling that you're talking about a first person shooter, could be DOOM, or Duke Nukem 3D, etc..but they are kind of mature games. What were the enemies in the game, aliens? monsters? robots? sorry but you have to specify these points.

A shot in the dark, but maybe Descent? Having "Arcade" in the name of the CD makes me think it was one of those shareware collections. The image of having to destroy a machine that shoots at you at the end of every level makes me think of the reactors in Descent, and the shareware version of Descent was almost as common on those discs as Doom.

Hello everyone again, great to see so many trying to help.

It was a shareware game - I remember that! - and you were in this spaceship thing and you got attacked by various other guns/machines from every nook and cranny and the highest level, which was 9 - had this massive spaceship and it was hard to escape it, but I managed it once and never played it again. This is a game for kids too, not adult game only. I think I got the game from a friend - actually my husband got it and he never played it, so I gave it a go. No particular label -image I can recall. No aliens, monsters and robots in this game. In some levels you had bombs and all sorts dropped on to you too - as I said, from each and every corner the shooting came and you had to avoid it. The higher in levels you progressed, the more and better ammunition you got too. Thanks again.

have you checked

Descent (1994)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SuMBYZrcQfU

is the game suggested by Owyn_Merrilin. If wasn't this game, what are the differences with your game? the machines that you say were like moving spaceships? or static machines that were shooting you?

Thanks for the youtube link! Decent is a game very similar my hubby played with my son - on his lap! for hours. lol.....He got so excited now when I showed him this! haha... the game I played had a moving spaceship - not static - even mine was moving around all the time, almost like a war-type of plane. I was shot from beneath from this massive moving machine, almost like I was in the 'bush'/wild - not open space. Nothing was static.

I was thinking in

Tunnel B1 (1996)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6wOnNVpaVk

it has a lot of machine guns that can be the guns/machines that you say, also has enemy spaceships. It should be this one or at least very close to it. If wasn't, try

Radix - Beyond The Void (1995)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XpPmhtBRCbc

hi Diablo, Thanks for the help, unfortunately not one of these. The gunships were not in buildings like in these videos - it was in a nature environment - no buildings in sight or other humans/robots/aliens etc. only you in your ship and the enemy one, which was every level a more dangerous machine with more destructive ammunition. Thank you to everybody who's trying! I will keep looking and searching.

Maybe you have played one of the "Terminal Reality Inc." games.

Which were "Terminal Velocity" (1995), (played that one a lot back then...)

"Fury3" (1995), basically a Win95 port of TV,

or "Hellbender" (1996), Fury's successor.

I have been looking for this game forever! Please help!!

I played it around 2003-2004, it was a Frog game but it's not like those silly frog games. It was a full Frog Adventure game full of puzzles and riddles, I played it on PC..
I don't remember much about it other than that. Only thing is it wasn't some kids game, it was a full game as I said with a complete story and what not...

Please someone help

Hi guys, can you help me to discover the name of these two games?

1- You can choose between some child, an everyone of them has a different colored robot and every robot has a special power that he throws from the chest (like paralyze or hook the monster). The game is in third person, adventure, and the graphics are colorful 3D. The characters avatars were anime-like. I remember that the chubby boy has the green coloured robot.

2- Its a first person game, that you play with a vehicle/robot and has to pass through obstacles before the time ends. You have an arsenal of weapons to help you, bust you can only go forward.

1.- Cubix Robots For Everyone - Showdown (2002)

hi Pixelhunter, thanks for the help, unfortunately not one of them. None of the 'fighting' was in any building structure - the surroundings were complete nature, but not fast moving gunships etc. The 'beast' [how I called it, huge battleship that tried to get you], was on the floor - you in the air - no other fighters around you. Thanks for trying to help, much appreciated that everyone tries to help.

hey so there is this old game i remember playing on the computer. I was very young and can only recall small details but hopefully someone knows what its called because i really want to know. The "Characters" were like little colored dots that traveled through the game to save other dots. Once you got to them they would dissolve. I also remember plummeting into the ocean and finding the dangered dots there too.I know this is a little to base it off of but if you have an idea please let me know!

Hi, I need help to remember a game I played as a kid, I have like fuzzy pictures in my head of it and cannot remember the name. I know that its supposed to be a kid game, but its really dark and weird. Here is what I remember:

I think its about something that happen into someone head, like a dream or some sort of hallucination. It start with a UFO and your character is falling from it, you need to stay in the middle of the ray. I think it can be two players with different color character and the two must stay in the ray. If you get out of the ray when falling you will be on a specific level and if you succeeded to stay in the ray and touch the ground you will be in another level. I know that each direction is a different level, I remember that most of the background was black or just pitch black, that each characters are kind of weird animal. The level I remember are:

-A pirate ship where you need to push the bad pirate to the other side of the ship and he will fall into the water

-There is a level where you control a little character into some sort of jar and everything is super heated (hot) in it, you must not touch the surface and things in the level cause it burn your character, he makes a noise of hurt when he is burned.

The game must be super old and probably on DOS, cause I'm sure it was on PC

SpaceKids (1994)

Hi guys, I'm looking for the name of an online word game. You're in a castle and you make words from a box of scrabble tiles on the left-hand side of the screen. When you make a word, it creates a bridge that you can walk across to move through the castle.

Bump #1 and hopefully final!

Hi all. Thanks so much for this forum. I've enjoyed reading through many pages of requests and discoveries - really appreciative!

I've got a game that's been bothering me for a long time...

JRPG style, something like Suikaden/Lufia II/Terranigma graphics wise
So far the best gameplay comparison I can find is Suikaden (the original)
Latest production date would be 1996. Probably 1992-1994. Could be first generation Playstation, SNES, NES or anything older...
No CGI cut sceens - so not Seiken De... or Wild Arms, too Playstation "3d" graphics.

Like I said Suikaden reminds me of it the most - the imagery, the style of combat

But I just watched an entire runthrough of Suikaden on youtube and I didn't see this very specific scene I remember...

At some point the characters are trapped in like a pit trap.
At some point the characters participate in some sort of running event/race/have to run to get away...

Of course I could be misremembering, but those are the vivid memories.

I would have been playing this sometime between 1993-1996, I was 7-10 years old.

It was the son of a babysitter who owned it.

Thanks so much!!!

Have you tried looking on fantasyanime.com for it? Also, maybe it was one of the Dragon Quest games?

 

[Venarial]

Thank you so much, I found it like 2 days after that post after extensive research. But that's definately it!!!

Hi,

I'm looking for an old pc game, probably from the mid 90's.

In the game you control a helicopter that can move freely in a 3D environment. The perspective is 3rd person.
You shoot at targets (that shoot back at you) in the ground and collect weapons and stuff. You get upgrades for weapons etc.
It's not a simulator, the control is easy.
I think in some levels you play as a ground vehicle like a jeep or an APC.
I also think the game was developed/published by Sierra Entertainment (but I went through a list of their games and didn't find it).
I've already Googled for a few hours and didn't find it.

Can you please help me find the name of the game?

Thanks

Hello,
I'm looking for an older PS1 or PS2 game.
Roleplaying game where you could have various monsters in your party and if their dark nature got too high during a battle, you'd lose. There was a prominent queen in the game to beat. And near to the final battle you had to fight a group of highly magic resistant dragons. Fairly ogre battle-ish. Cannot remember for the life of me what the game was. Before you got to the final battle you had to find a sword of awesome power. Never did beat it.

Hi,

Ok so this has been bothering me for many years now, I have scoured google trying to find this game, even the name of it, and I have thus been unable to find it. This game is particular was a game I played back in the 90's I believe it made around the early 90's but I am unsure. I remember I used to play it on a packard computer. The game involved traveling on a Submarine, the graphics were fairly nice actually given the time frame. On the submarine was an otter of some kind or a seal and I think the submarine was escorting this seal back to her home or something like that but Idk. I do remember you could travel around the submarine and mess with things, and the movement was done on a gridded map when you drove the submarine around. You could look through the scope from the submarine. It was a really fun game even though I had no idea what it was about haha. Hopefully someone can help me because I know I will probably never get to play it again, but its making me insane.

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.
