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

[HarbingerOfSka]

Hey Everyone,
So I remember this really random game from the mid 90's/ early 2000's. I was really young at the time so it's going to be difficult to remember, especially since I didn't get very far in it. So I recall it starting out with this scientist testing out some kind of time machine, which sends him out to this desert. I recall there being this clock tower and the character starting out in a rather impoverished district of the desert city. If I recall correctly after an extended period of time, the clock goes off and the player loses. Another thing is I remember a vital part of the inventory being some sort of shell that was important for the travelling in the first cutscene. The only other part of the game that I can remember is that at the start of the level, you can't travel into the desert outside the city due to these black demons that are missing their lower halves. Sorry it's not very detailed, but I remember this so vividly and I'm curious about what it is. Thank you for any insight you can give me

Ive been trying to find this game for so long, somebody please help me out.

The game is on a console, I think its PS2 but i cant be certain.
The game was a 3D sidescroller that took place on a space station maybe with tons of monsters and stuff that you had to kill. The main character kind of reminded me of Marcus Fenix from gears of war. I think the main character may have been missing an arm, and you could get weapons to put on the missing arm, like a nail gun.

My dad bought this game for me a long time ago and we played it together but it got sold at some point and ive searched and searched for the name of it for years but i cant find it. I would very much appreciate any help finding this game.

Not too old but it was a mobile game. Opening screen had like a shield. It was a black and white color game. It was an RPG but I can't remember if it was for Android or Windows phones.

Hi, I'm looking for an old PC game, I played it in the 90, I think it was about a hero (looked like a cat) that had a black cape and it would jump really slowly, and when it jumped it would put it's hand up like superman. you mostly had to get to the top of the screen to get to the next levels. you could reach a platform (looked like a tube) that would transport you to the next stage.
I think the background color was mostly brown, and I remember that there was a level where you had to jump over lava or something and you could hang on a steel chain that would move you. you had to avoid lasers or electricity beams and there were bad guys that if you touch them, you would die. they kinda looked and moved like a slinky.
If I remember right, it looked as if you were in a brick tower or dungeon, I'm not sure.
I've been looking for this game for a pretty long time, I hope that you guys can help me find it, it's kinda driving me nuts...

Thanks

I'm looking for a game I played back when I was like 10 or so, so I guess that would mean around 2002. It's a space game where you you sly from system to system in a ship of your choice (I think it was kind of a star trek kind of thing). You can make bases on planets and defend them with peaceable weapons and mines. You can place them on the ground and in space in almost any system you want. Therese a good trading system to, where you buy goods from one system and transport them to a system that needs them to make profit.

It's on the computer and I believe it was free. It was also played in a top-down perspective and had a bounty system.

There was a ps1 game where you were a red bird and at some stages had to flee saws, anyone know the name?

Late 90's to early 2000's, Japanese PS1 game - From a side scrolling view you would run than jump over an object, gymnastics vault style and each time you cleared the jump you would be sent back to the start of the running matt and the object would get progressively bigger. I recall jumping a bus, double decker bus, lighthouse it got pretty ridiculous.

It was a game made up of many mini games but I can only remember that jumping one. I don't believe the game ever had a release outside of Japan. An exchange student from Japan gave it to me, as well as a pocket station and whole lot of others games some in Japanese others in English, including Bishi Bashi Special, FFIX, parasite eve, dino crisis so it was around that time period...

Thanks in advanced!

So a space trading and combat game. Some examples from the right era would be Freelancer, the X series, and Privateer 2, but it's a pretty big genre. Top down suggests maybe Escape Velocity Nova or Star Control II? SCII has an open source version called The Ur Quan Masters, which is free but I'm not sure if it was that far back. Starflight and Starflight 2 also kind of fit that general description. Significantly older and never officially released for free (unless there was some sort of limited time promotion), but you might have found them on an abandonware site somewhere.

I'm looking for an adventure game I played on Windows 95 or 98, so I guess it was around 1995 to 2001.

The game started with a young boy having a nightmare about the god Dionysos. After he woke up, he wanted to visit his uncle. But he wasn't home, so you had to wait until a certain time. Meanwhile you had to do some simple quests, like finding chalk for the school, or finding a rose for a man, to give it to his girlfriend. After that there was a meeting of all the people from the village about people going missing.
Then you could finally go to your uncle. He tells you about dangerous creatures in the woods outside the village. Then you have to fight some rats at a cellar.
After that it's night time and you want to leave the city.....but I remember I couldn't find the key to actually leave, so I stopped playing.

The villiage was relatively small and circular with a stone wall around it. In the world lived some creatures next to the humans, who looked like Dinosaurs, but acted like normal people. I think they were some kind of trading travellers.

I hope someone can help me, I'm looking for this for years now and it drives me insane

And sorry for my bad english.

This is for three games.
The first was this series of games in which you explored planets with a guy on a spaceship.
He had a dog, but for some reason it always stayed in the ship.
The planets where the solar system planets and Pluto.
I'm pretty sure you were trying to get something off the planets.
It was a pixelated point and click 2-d puzzle game, with screens of which you clicked the edge of one and you went to the next screen.
I remember in Pluto there was a purple temple and what I think was the end there were some sharks you had to get past but I could never get past them XD

The second game was this game where you were like a snot thing where you had to fling yourself of little pivots to get to the end, it was quite difficult.
I remember in a Halloween update the pivots where like bats and stuff and you had to get as far as possible.

The third game was a game where you were a spider and had to jump off things to get as far as possible in like 2 minutes i think.
This one was also screen based- you got to the end of a screen with enough momentum and you came out of the next with the same momentum.

Populous or Age of Empires/Age of Mythology maybe?

Hey guys!

There was this RTS-Game on PC! I played it maybe 8 years ago?
It was on a CD with many other games on it!

Zeus was on the cover of the game. You controll a prehistoric culture with clubs. So as in many other RTS-Games you have to beat the enemy. I can remember one map (maybe 1st or 2nd mission?) where you started at the northern edge of the map and the enemy was all the way down.

I really dont have much information about that game but yeah.. maybe someone is able to find it :3

so:

-prehistoric RTS-Game
-8-10 years ago
-cavemen with clubs as soldiers
-zeus at the cover (i hope it was the cover of the game and not the CD)
-I believe the CD was blue and from a magazin with 7 to 10 games on it

So that was it! Thank you very much!

[Mads Ansbjerg]

I'm about to go crazy. What i remember from the game (not necessarily all correct):

- You control a individual that is sort of human if not complete human. Wearing a long blue shirt/jacket covering his legs.
- Its from third person view
- We start of at an island, and its constantly raining. You walk around in the village, where you can enter small shops and have conversations with other people/creatures as you meet them (i particularly remember a talking cow, saying that the grass taste better because of the rain)
- When the tasks are completed on this island, the sun will rise and weather will be good.
- You can now travel to a different island, a dessert island
- We will meet more world through the game, some more friendly than other.
- I believe i played this game on Win 98 (maybe 95? but I don't think so)

Hopefully somebody out there can help me remember this game

Sorry for bad english

Okay so ive been thinking what this game was for a looong time - I was very young when i last time played it.
- It was 2D
- Played on PC
- I played it in the beginning of year 2000 (the game itself is older ofc)
- There was this red character (probably a ball).
- You could move around and when you did you ate some kind of grass -> that made brown/black paths on the ground
- When you walked under circular rock it fell as far as the path was under it
- There were hundreds of maps/levels in this game. The name was green if it was completed with good points, orange was "done okay" and red one wasnt passed.
- There were enemies too which could walk from these paths you make - a rock could block the way
- There were TNT and walls and different objectives you could/had to do

Any ideas based on these? its been over 10 years i last time played it and would want to play it again :c
