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

[optimusjamie]

Trying to remember the name of a game (I think it was a game). I think it was 2 words, one of which I was able to make into 'Gordon' just by changing one letter.

I know that's not much of a clue, but it's all I've got.

I remember playing a computer game where the game board was a large square made up of smaller boxes, the outer borders were boxes that were slightly raised compared to the inner boxes, and the corners were boxes that were slightly raised higher compared to the borders. Each player would take turns placing down their color blocks (red or blue) anywhere throughout the board or you could stack one block on top of another. When the stack was 4 blocks high (I believe it was 4), or 3 blocks high on the borders, or 2 blocks high on the corners the stack would "topple" and overflow onto the adjacent stacks thereby adding another brick to the adjacent stacks and converting them to the color of whoever's turn it was. If the adjacent stack now reached the "overflow limit" (4, 3, or 2 blocks high depending on their board placement), then they too would overflow onto their adjacent stacks causing a domino effect throughout the board. The object of the game was to convert all the stacks on board to your color.

Thank you in advance for you help.

Hello guys, please help me, I remember playing a game (about 6 years ago, or more), kind of an RPG, resembling Mount and Blade, but with Human, Angels, Undead and Demon armies.
It had this fantastic campaigns with all the factions, but you had to do the tutorials 1st, and were a bit hard.
You got to atack churces with Demon armies, or protect them with Human or Angel armies.
You could switch between troops, and they all had different mechanics.
You had like a hero character, that could do spelss and some other stuff, basic troops (melee or ranged).
You could mount demon dogs, or angel....horses?... or something.

Please help me figure it out. Can't remember the name, but it might have fallen, or hell or some word like that in the name.

Thank you.

Sounds kinda like Disciple: sacred Lands

Thank you for posting, but it wasn`t Disciples (i know the series), it resemblet Mount and Blade at combat, but it had a storyline and a campaign. The 1st mission with every race was a tutorial, teching you the basiscs for the troops.

Hey guys! Lookin' for a playstation 1 game.

I remember it was an arena style figthing game where you battled with monsters (or something like that), now, I remember a raptor like creature that could spawn little creatures of himself that would help him. There were a bunch of characters (monsters) to choose from, and I remember some kind of teleporter on the map? It was a small arena and I think 4 individuals would battle in it until one is victorious. It was in fact multiplayer as I remember.

I've been looking for this game since I was the little child playing it, but I remember my disc broke in half after an accident, haven't seen it since.

 

[Jawsh98]

HI! If anyone could help I'd be stoked.

I played the game between 98-01. I remember you're in a yellow suit for battle or space and you kill aliens all over the world. I recal being able to use machine guns, rockets and plasma guns. After a few levels I think you had to unlike electric fences to free people or monsters... can't really trust me on what the hell was in them haha.

Hope you guys have a good day 8]

 

[Bogatu Florin]

Hello guys,i hope you can help me.
There was a game that I played on my PC around 2005-2009(that's when i played it,I don't know when it came out) in which the tutorial you had to hammer an orb or a sphere and that orb electrocuted a big spider to pass the first part of the tutorial.The second part of it(or the first mission) you had to go around the map with your character(orc if i remember correctly) to kill other minions to make them join you so you could fight the strong mobs in the middle and take their base.The inventory was made of squares and weapons could take more squares that a ring for example.It was a really good looking game at that time.The view point was Top-Down.I don't remember if it had MultiPlayer.

 

[mroczker]

Hi Everyone!
I have two games I have been trying to find out for months but can't remember them for the life of me. They were two of my favorite games when I was growing up and I played both on the PC.

1. I apologize for the vague description.I am trying to remember a game I use to play on PC awhile ago. You could be a dwarf, knight, and other characters. Each character would allow you to be able to use only certain items. The knight could use a long sword where a dwarf couldn't. The only mission I remember is where you have to fight two giant iron/stone creatures. Before this fight you find a hammer that only the dwarf could use. If you are playing as the knight the fight was very difficult due to the fact the creatures had high resistance to sword attacks.

2. There is an old Vampire Game I can't remember. You were able to switch between different vampires in your party. You could buy guns, claws, brass knuckles, and etc. The two main things I remember is fighting a giant blood monster and a scene where your party member betrays you and runs off with all the equipment you gave him. Related to the blood monster was a scene involving a painting. I also remember something about waking up as the vampire. Also you would feed on monk/priest like npcs for health. They were the least aggressive npcs for the purpose.

Thank you so much if you can help me out!

Hmm sounds like it could be The Unholy War. It was a mix of strategy on an overworld map with hex based movement but when you fought it was all real time in an arena. Loved this game could only complete one of the factions on hard mode though.

If it was this one there was a similar game called Wrath unleashed later on PS2 and the original Xbox although it was not as good imo.

 

[Female80sgamer]

Hi all - hoping for help to find a couple of games. Not sure if 80s or 90s, or even computer or early nintendo.

First is somewhat medievil. Played as female character who collects goblets or vials. Side screen view. I recall entering level/s by running into a tunnel of hanging vines, fade out/screen change into the level and start at top of screen and worked down, also possibly across to left or right when at screen extremeties. Possibly underground. I feel like purple and green were the dominant colours. Not sure on dangers/enemy. Lots of jumping up and down to different floor levels, and in to short dead end corridors to collect something, with a danger blocking the way to be avoided. Maybe something asleep to jump over. Dragons? Recall health bars that are replenished by the vials, and cups or goblets were maybe the collectible. I think the 'decor' was highly decorative - lots of draped plants etc. Possibly coins and treasure, but not sure. Maybe cauldron's filled with bubbling liquid?

Second is totally different, much more basic. 2D, top screen view (?), not adventure. Lots of round different coloured faces with different emotions (before the era of emoticons, but that's essentially what they were). Possibly time constrained, or not sure what the goal was. The faces moved around at different speeds, either back and forth, in circles or bouncing off walls/objects. Colours/emotions indicated different strength or speed. I may be mistaking it with another game, but i remember navigating between levels by the aerial view of an network of islands, and you had to earn your way across bridges to get to new islands (again, could be totally different game).

Love to find out what these are if anyone knows!!

If you are playing as the knight the fight was very difficult due to the fact the creatures had high resistance to sword attacks.

This description reminds me of Blade of Darkness - you can choose between knight (sword and shield), dwarf (axe and shield), barbarian (two handed swords) and amazon (polearms) - you play the game as either one of them but don't switch them mid-play. Each character also gave a different playthrough, even though lots of the levels were shared.

2. There is an old Vampire Game I can't remember. You were able to switch between different vampires in your party.

This sounds like Vampire the Masquerade: Redemption. Although it didn't have blood monsters - it did have giant monsters, though. There was also a painting. Although, the description there (painting+blood monster) sounds like Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines which has a quest where you have to destroy some paintings but you're attacked by a blood guardian. There is no party in Bloodlines, though.

 

[n0thing15]

Hello guys. I will be very happy if someone finds this game for me.
So... i've been playing this 2d zombie shooter game.
Looks a little bit like this http://i.imgur.com/T7lLT0Z.png (<-that is a flash game that has simmilar gameplay).

Things that i can remember:
1.The Camera was located a little bit further. (Characters were little)
2. Obviously where you pointed the mouse the character pointed his gun. OR you used 2 Keys to rotate clockwise/ counter clockwise.
3.Zombies were simple at the start of the game. They just spawned from every direction and attacked when in close proximity of my character.
4.There was some things like a spider nest (with tentacles maybe) that spawned some zombies in the upper levels.
5. (If it counts and helps you). You started the game with a pistol and then after completing levels you had more and more weapons to play with.
6.It's a PC game. Windows
7. I remember that it had a Multiplayer mode too(2 player mode)

I hope all the info i gaved you will help you in finding this precious game.

Thank you so much! The first one you are fully correct on! The second I am looking into both now. It is very aprreciated!

The only game that comes in my mind is Sacrifice https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sacrifice_%28video_game%29
You have your own troops, fantasy stuffs, spells. It's like a rts where u control a single unit

 

[matter1]

hi i am looking for a game it was on a old mac in school it was a space ship type thing and you used arrow keys to make it go it was a simple game but i have been thinking about it and its stuck in my head any help would be amazing thanks

 

[psukhomanteia]

Re-posting in a vain hope.

Ok, this one has been bugging me for years now.

It was a PC game from I believe the early 90's.
It was an aircraft strategy war game.
It was top down and in real time.
I am pretty sure it was entirely based on WW2 aircraft but not 100%.
You would start with a number of air bases that had limited fuel and ammunition and had planes at each one.
You had three types of aircraft: Fighters, Fighter/Bombers, and Bombers.
You could send these planes out on air superiority missions, strike missions, escort missions, pretty much anything.

I distinctly remember when you were zoomed out and planes were flying around, they were represented by vertical dotted lines that would grow or shrink depending on the plane's altitude.

The dotted lines would be alternating white and a color. The color would indicated what type of plane it was, for example I think fighters were orange and white but I am not sure. Fighter/Bombers were white and green. Enemy planes I believe alternated red and the specific plane type color.

You had different scenarios such as the Battle of Britain where you would have command of literally hundreds of aircraft.
You could play as either the Allies or the Axis countries.

There was no land or sea combat, it was entirely air based.

I can remember so many details from this game except the damned name. I have searched every game I could find from the early 90's/late 80's that had anything to do with WW2 air combat but nothing is it.
