I remember playing a game when I was a kid (late 90's) on my Windows 98. It was one of those games that are supposed to help you with learning in school so there was not much action but more about making the right choices etc. The whole thing was a simulation on the theory of evolution about life on earth.. so you would start back at the beginning when the first cellular organisms are created, then the first humans appear and so on.. until you reach modern day and I believe there was also a "futuristic" stage. (it was a point and click kind of game, with some animations here and there) If anyone knows a game like this please let me know! Thanks!

There's this old PC game I played where there is a Blue and White colored explorer

It is kind of like Spelunkey where you avoid the enemies which are red robed human eating things and you have different means of avoiding them such as hiding using a spray gas that sprays a green cloud that makes them dizzy allowing you to walk through them. You can also use a fire blast thing into the ground which will create a hole one unit to your right or left which the red robed enemies will fall into. You can then step over their head as they stay there helplessly until the ground regrows and kills them. This game was something I used to play like 8 years ago in like the early 2000s and for the life of me I just can't remember the name of that game.

I'm guessing "Lode Runner: The Legend Returns"

Sentiments won over me, so here I am, seeking help:

There was (I think) shareware PC game, where you controlled a small helicopter and were flying over a farm, "collecting" (more like grabbing) either cows or sheep, top-down view.

Don`t know where to look up for it, maybe there is some sort of database of such small caliber games? (hopes intensifies)

I'm trying to track down a old game I used to play back around 2005 on the internet. It could be defined today as an idle game. You had a country and you made/bought/traded tanks, soliders and goods I think. You tried to conquer the most territoy and have the most resources. each "season" of the game only lasted a few weeks I think, then it started all over again. There was like a stock market thing for goods. There were little or no graphics, almost everything was represented purely in numbers and stats. Sorry, thats about all I can remember. Any help would be appreciated, Thank you.

I'm trying to remember an old top down alien shooter I used to play with my brother (so it's at least 1-2 players and could be a flash game). All I can remember is it used to be early 2000 or a few years before. You play a soldier and at the beginning of the game you drop down in a desert-looking area and proceed to the east shooting alien-spider-things. After progressing a bit further you enter a building and can also shoot alien eggs and stuff. It was a comic looking game and almost looks like "Planet Wars" but the game I'm looking for didn't feature weapon customization and such and also had a name like "War" something something and a number like 21XX, 22XX, 24XX, 25XX.

EDIT: I FOUND IT! It's called "Triumph War 2099". There's also an alternative called "Triumph War 2142" and another one called "Walkover".

Hey guys. First time making an account in these forums.

All I remember is this game is very similar to counterstrike, except........ you can remove the gravity and your person can pretty much fly from buildings to buildings. I remember this one map where its always night and you can jump from roof to roof. First person shooter game on PC.
I actually have another game in mind but its extremely vague. I remember the colors red and green and something to do with killing aliens. When they die, they kinda explode in a really cool way. Think its only demo but I'm not sure. :( Its frustrating the hell outta me.

THANKS!

Hi I'm looking for the name of an old PC game (90's I think) It was based around a little wizard (i think) that had to journey to different places. Here he fought zombies, or skeletons or spiders. I remember you could upgrade his shoes, hat and wands. Also there were potions that gave him extra lives. The thing I remember most is that when he left an area without fighting he would say "run away"
please help!
Hi - I think this might be Spooky Castle - The Adventures of Kid Mystic. I remember the pretty distinctive 'run awaaaay!' if you didn't want to fight as well! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnHgL_N9iEg

Hey guys, I've been searching all over for a childhood game i played, I cant remember many details of it anymore but here is what i know:

the game design has the same kind of art style as worms 3d, i remember it having a 3rd person camera.
a level i remember is that you start in a attic (i think) or something that resembles an old room and you jump out of a massive window window and go to this mountain/castle. you fight enemies like in zelda wind waker. I think there was floating stuff all over the place, stuff that you could jump on.
the game if from around the 2000's and is on the pc.

not to much to go on :)

cheers

Sounds like the Morpheus map in Unreal Tournament.

[Posting this again in hopes that someone knows this game]

The game I am looking for is an old PC browser game. It was probably made near the 2006 to 2010 year range. It was a monster survival game where you had to take care of a group of chibi monsters that were being attacked by these chibi red crab-like monsters. The red monsters would be able to corrupt the other ones and make them evil. I remember this game quite vaguely so my recollections of it might be flawed. I remember the coloring of the game was dry and dull. The background was grey and you would look at the creatures from an aerial third-person view. My memories of this game are vague. But it would be nice to play it again, it seemed interesting.

So basically the game consisted of:

~ white or pink chibi monsters that you had to protect
~ red evil monsters that would corrupt the pink ones and make them red
~ a dull/dry gray background, I remember the red monsters coming out of some sort of cave
~ an aerial third-person point of view, so you would be looking at them from above
~ I remember being able to breed and evolve the creatures
~ I also remember the creatures being cartoon, chibi, ball-like monsters.

I understand if this game is quite difficult to search for or find because this game seems so unknown, especially since it is an old browser game.

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!
I'm afraid it's not the game. :( But i see that i gave you little information and it could be ANY RTS-Game. Well maybe it'll be found.

But thank you. :)

Ok so, I played this game on a PC around 2005 I guess, I'm definitely not sure about the release date. I remember very little and this is just a swing in the dark, but here goes. The main thing I remember is the main menu screen. There was this like long haired warrior kind of guy sitting on a rock or something and a bunch of crows flying around, it was all animated, as in, it looked like that in game. I think that you could have picked multiple characters and based on that, the story would be different. I remember there was a dwarf dude too. Also, the game was really hard and kind of gruesome, dark. You could cut your opponents limbs of and stuff. It also had like impossible boss fights. The music was pretty depressing too...
If anyone guesses this one, I take my hat off to you :D
You probably didn't actually see crows but definitely heard them.

I'm pretty sure the game is "Severance: Blade of Darkness" (2001) by "Codemasters".

Yeessss! You got it! Thank you! *takes off hat* :D

I'm trying to find a game, i'm not sure when it came out and when i played it, it's either ps1 or ps2.

You play as some sort of fish looking creature the game could be 4 players, you go around a board colouring in tiles by going round them, the most coloured tiles wins.

I know it's not much to go on but it's going to kill me if i can't find it

Hi guys.

I am looking for a small PC arcade game. The goal of this game was to survive as long as possible on a square located in space. To survive = not to fall off from it. I was playing with a worm (or nano-worm, something like that) against enemy worms. They were shooting at me to push me off. I was shooting at them, and when they were falling off, I was growing longer. As the time was passing, new enemies, who were appearing OR falling from above were stronger. It was a 3D game with a top-down look.

Any ideas?

There's a certain game which I've been trying really hard to find for several years now.
Firstly, I can't pinpoint the exact year it was made, but I'm certain it was inbetween 1995 to 2005, with it being more likely to be at the lower end of that scale (if I had to be more specific, I'd say 1998 to 2001). It's for windows, and runs at a resolution of either 640x400, 800x600, or 1024,768. I can't remember which, but it was DEFINTELY one of those three (most likely one of the first two).

The game is basically a clone of Solomon's Key (I found this out during my several years of searching for the game based on its gameplay). As such that means the gameplay is basically a puzzle platformer, where you make and destroy boxes, while finding a key which unlocks a door, which you then have to get to. It is such a blatant ripoff of Solomon's Key, that I'm pretty certain some of the levels are downright copies.

It's a very japanese looking game. There are three characters, and I'm pretty certain it allowed you to play upto a 3-player mode (then again, it could have just been a maximum of 2-player mode).
The three characters were all chibi style. The first was a guy wearing jockstraps, he had blueish-purple hair with a redish-pink spiky bit at the front. The second character was a blonde haired girl in a red dress. The third character was a fat balding guy that looked like he had a cold because of his red nose and dozy expression (but who I'm now pretty certain was suppose to be drunk).

Like Solomon's Key, you created and destroyed boxes, although the boxes in this game were more akin to crates (if I'm remembering correctly). You could even destroy certain blocks (which you couldn't create) which had cracks in them, which I'm pretty certain was used for secret areas. Each character also had a special pose when they made a box appear or disappear, but I only remember what the third character did, as it was the most memorable (because it was funny).
He used to pull his pants down with a great big grin on his face. It kinda made him look like he was farting the box out.
Also, in case it helps, I'm pretty certain the ending door you needed to get to, was red and rectangular, with a nice thick brown frame.

The game was rather crass if you ask me. I only remember two enemies. Firstly, the gorillas, who would stand in a single position, unmoving with their back facing toward you, sniggering as drips of some sort of liquid fell down from them (I'm pretty certain they were peeing). The drips would hurt you, and were pretty much a hazard.
The second enemy I remember was the pumpkins, which just rolled around and around, similar to the rolling enemies on Solomon's Key. The pumpkins also made a rather loud noise while rolling about.
I think there might have been zombies as well... but I can't be certain of that (most likely there was).

Also, the game had a level editor, although I remember it being bugged. When you had just put the game on, it would allow you to edit level 51, but if you had played a level, and then went onto the level editor, you'd be able to edit the level you had just played on. By the way, you couldn't get to level 51, because after you completed level 50, the game would end.
I'm also pretty certain there was also a savegame feature.

You could also find these golden medallions, which you could collect. If you used one of those medallions, a picture of a dragon would appear on the screen and all enemies would be destroyed.

Me and my sister both remember calling the game Magic Pocket, although searching that has only ever yielded a weird MS-DOS game.

As you can see, I can remember this game VERY well, and I have looked for this game for many years. This is the first time I've asked for help, because I've just sorta given up. I can't find it, and I think the only way I ever will is if someone else already knows its real name and tells me it.
