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

[Fernando Moraes Ortiz]

Hey! I have found a long-loved game in this forum: Terra Colony. The post I found leaded me to this page: http://www.bettiesart.com/tc/terracolony/gw4help/table%20of%20contents.html
But I can't find the game anywhere here or on the internet. Do any of you guys have it?

Hey. I've been searching for a game I played a few years back for a while, and was wondering if anyone could help.

It was this online 3d game I played where you were this japanese sumo wrestler baby, and you would go around smashing things and throwing them. You picked up these things that looked sort of like ice cream cones that would be floating around in order to gain points, and that would allow you to become stronger and be able to throw heavier things. There would be like a display of how heavy something was and certain things you had to repeatedly press a button [if it was close to your limit i think] and try and throw it away or be smashed by the object.

Thought I'd let you all know I just found it! The name of the game is Kinpira DX- Samurai Smash

Common people, everyone found his game except me,
please i need your help,
here is what i wrote and please help me finding it,
ive been searching for like 2 month


Hi
I need some helping this game.
I know its not a lot of information, but lets give a shot.

This game as I remember is an old pc game, Real time Strategy, like red alert.
what i remember is that the game has different profiles, and you can secure the profile ( main character ) with a password.
after selecting the profile, u select an army, or a special unit, like a tornado, or a fire tornado, and each unit takes a point or credit and i think u have max of 20 points.
and then u enter the map, play the game, constructing buildings, and preparing an army ... while attacking, u can find treasures with items, that can u used for the main character.
and at the end of the game, these special unit i choose at the beginning , if they survived, they get experience, if they die i lose them.

that's all what i can remember
thanks in advance

The game I'm looking for is probably a DOS game, possibly something for Win95/98/3.0, but most likely DOS. The last time I played it would likely have been early 2000's. Most likely pre-2003.

It was from a side view, with gravity in the downward direction, but not wide enough that I would consider it a sidescroller. Levels were often as tall as they were wide.
I think maybe you had to collect things and head to an exit. I don't remember what the character looked like or having a way to attack, but maybe I never figured that out. I think I remember stars in the background and that the game made me think happy scifi thoughts.

The one thing I absolutely remember is a red, two-legged robot enemy. It looked a lot like the AT-ST from Star Wars, except that they had one continuous "eye slit" as opposed to the former's separate eye holes. I remember that these enemies were in nearly every level I played and they killed my younger self constantly, and the very last time I played the game I discovered it was possible to walk across the tops of those robots.

What you're describing definitely sounds like an early game from the "roguelike" genre...but I honestly couldn't be more specific than that.

You could be thinking of Rogue itself, or an early version of Nethack. If it's well-known, it's likely to be on this list here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronology_of_roguelike_video_games

*edit* Sorry, just noticed your second post. I can't think of any roguelikes with the image of the room in the middle of the screen, but it might still be one of those games.

yes, that's what I thought in the first place, I checked many roguelike games and found nothing...that's the reason what I asked about the graphics because most of the roguelikes games have pretty basic graphics.

I don't know if I would class it as a roguelike. I played it long before I heard the term however, so maybe. It was only ever the one floor - the map was randomised, you either beat the boss and won the game, or died. I suppose given the randomised map it is sort of one.

I am looking for a very specific game, but I do not really have much to search on. I remember you controlled these kind of big nosed people, and you could control them to do various things. It was like a strategy game, but not that open worldish, as you had different stages you had to complete.
I know it is not much to go on, but I really hope someone can help me!

Oh, and btw this was a PC game, i played around 1999-2002 or something like that.

Here's a game I've been looking for:

You played as a space train on rails that had to fight off flying police vehicles on the way to your destination.

Your ship was locked to a set of rails, there were walls to either side of you and you were always moving forward. You had to decide which direction to go when forks in the track came up and navigate via keyboard.

You were attacked by police vehicles that would fly onto your screen, which you could destroy by aiming and firing lasers with your mouse.

Enemy ships:
- The most common enemy was a police robot shaped like a square lollipop, had flashing police lights and paint job.
- The next enemy up from that was a blue police ship shaped like the letter 'U' with two cockpits.
- The most dangerous enemy was a large yellow military ship called a 'Scorpion'.

PC Game, ran on Windows 98.
Your character had a trucker cap.
Sci-fi future theme, first-person-perspective game. Space freighter on rails.
The game had a lot of CDs, and came in a multidisk jewel case.

Thanks for any help!

Hello guys!

I need help with a game!

As I remember I played it like 10(?) years ago and it's a classical point & click adventure game for the PC (maybe a horror game because you could die) and the graphics weren't too good!

-male main protagonist (I think he had a black jacket on?)
-I remember a big mansion (the atmosphere was quite red)
-the name "Viktor/Victor or Viktoria/Victoria was a big thing in this game (maybe even in the titel but i cant find anything or maybe it's the owner of that mansion)
-there is one part i remember (it's also in this mansion), you have to get to the other side of a grid(?) or a wall but there is a trap you have to deactivate first, if you don't do it, you'll get shot with a crossbow or even from a hole in the wall in the head/neck and you die
-the whole game could be built around this specific mansion (I am not sure)

So that's all I remember, I hope that's enough for you guys to find this game! I believe in you!

Thanks for any help!

Ok so, must have been around the 90's platform game, futuristic setting I believe. IIRC the levels were pretty dark.
My mind thinks it was on the sega megadrive 16 bit. Could be off.

It's about some little guy starting a level where you had to push/throw/shove some kind of device/machine/magic something to a certain area, portals I believe. Think the 'machines' were flat topside.

When you placed one of the 'machines' in the right place, the level was done and you were transported to another dimension.(?) If I made a mistake with dropping the 'machines', I don't believe the game automatically restarted. So you could wander and try for ages .

I think the little guy had some kind of device/weapon in his hand. But I can not recall if I had to fight 'monsters' or creatures. Something tells me the music was horrible, don't know why.

If somebody can recall this game it would be wonderful, and you would receive a digital kiss. It has been driving me nuts for days now.

Edit: It might actually have a timer per level.

Shameless bump

 

[Mr.Matter99]

The only part I can remember about the game I'm looking for is one of the boss fights. I do remember that it was a third person platformer and the boss fight opened with a giant fish smashing his head against the glass behind your character. After the glass broke the water would begin to rise and your characters movement space was limited 4 floating platforms that raised with the water. I'm sorry I cant provide more info, this was YEARS ago.

 

[GBag_20]

I am trying to remember the game name, but i cant... So i cant find it. It is 2D game, and only thing i remember is that you go through US, you are some guy going through different places (like Grand Canyon, NY, and else...). When in some place you are jumping around and stuff, to get to right side of screen, and when you finish that place you ride a motor/car or smth to another site, and you pick up bonuses and stuff like that...

Posted this a long time ago and somebody answered but I can find the post!! Help again please!!

Hey everyone, right I have been looking for this game for aaaages now but can't for the life of me remember what it is called. It is an old rpg/adventure, sci fi, 3rd person game (around the year 2000 or a bit later I think). The graphics were in 3d and quite good for its' time. It is all futuristic like with hover cars going around and alien like humanoids.
It was all about demons and them trying to take your soul. You had the ability to change body to select humanoids which had different strengths (for example, there is one brute of a guy in a bar who is leaning against a wall who you could transfer to or even a stripper at a strip club). When you did this, your old body would just appear to be an ethereal form in front of you after you transferred. If you died by a human, you would take the form of the person who defeated you but if you died by a demon that was it your soul was gone and game over.
You could also train your character in fight simulators which then went into like a mortal kombat type fight where you used combinations of buttons to carry out certain moves (same aspect when doing hand to hand combat with ppl or demons) and there were also times where you went into a first person shooting situation in certain areas when you needed to get to a destination. Shooting attack dogs, other guys with guns or even massive robots.
From what I remember is that you basically start off in your apartment where you have to get the key to get out (which is found in the lizard tank in the middle of your apartment)but before leaving end up getting into a fight with a demon.

Can't believe i can't remember the name but can remember where the damn key is at the start haha. Anyway, please help me out folks, this is annoying the shit out of me haha. Peace

[what'smyname]

hey everyone,

I'm looking for a game, I'm pretty sure it has "knight" in the name. You walk around in dungeons and kill big lizards and i'm not sure but i think there was big turtles and i remember these big jelly-like monsters.

You could have pets and i'm not sure if it's more than these but i only know of cats and dogs. You could sell scrolls, potions and weapons in the dungeons or out. And you had quests to complete like, get to level this or get this weapon from this beast.

I'm not sure if it was like this for everyone, but I know that we got it when we installed Windows XP but it was only a trial. You could choose different types of people for your knight i.e. girl or boy, human or goblin/orc thing.

And PLEASE don't say it's Suikoden II, because it isn't. It's a PC game.

The pet thing sounds a lot like Torchlight: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1rm5OexSO3A

But it could be one of the Fate games too. I haven't played any, but they are apparently VERY similar, made by some of the same people. Here's some footage of the first one (I think):

(probaby to a pit or something) after 5 or 10 levels.. there was a boss.. and game was going up.. instead of right like youre used to with a sidescrolling game.. any ideas appreciated thanks

 

[Kayleigh Lampkins]

I'm looking for a very old PC game that I used to play in school, the setup was you were in this creepy castle/mansion on an island and it was like a mystery math game, you'd use this little blue bug like creatures that I can't quite remember the name of, and you'd have to solve puzzles and such with them and eventually get into the evil master of the place's tower

Hey guys.. i would really appreciate any help with my "hunt"... I'm looking for a game that i played as a child on Playstation 1. It was only a demo and i dont know if the full version even exists. It was about a bird - more like a parrot who jumped and did some wierd shit, and dive, looking for things and jumped some more... it was really colorfull and childlike game - i remember there being a lot of bombs. And the second game was a really simple arcade like game. You were playing as a purple-ish jelly and u would move cubes around and other stuff so u could get out i think... The Jelly made wierd noise, when pushing the cube... sounded like pacman eating balls or something like that. So thanks everyone who has any idea what those games are!
