Ok....here is a conundrum for you all....

I am trying to recall the name of a text base adventure game, which had graphics for the room you were in.

It was based on a spaceship...or space station. The occupants were killed...and there is an alien on the lose. You have to piece clues together etc etc It was very atmospheric to play as you were always expecting to get killed as you enter the next room....and read the text!

Not sure if it was on the Spectrum or the Amiga....the game must have been from the late 80's early 90's ?

Any help much appreciated !
Anyone ? Might have been an early PC game :-/

Many thanks for any help !

I'm trying to figure out the name of an old game i played as a kid, i don't remember much other then you could play through the game with two people, one used a yo-yo? as a weapon, (no it is not earthbound) the other used like one of those party blower things that unroll when you blow into them, i thing the weapons can upgrade also.
i remember one level kinda like a graveyard? idk something really dark and spooky, again it was a side scroller.
for some parts it was a side scroller style game,then i think i remember little cut scenes where depending on how much money you spent you'd have to sail somewhere, if you had little money you were basically floating on a piece of wood, if you had alot you'd be on a nice ship. idk ive been trying to find this game for ages and nothing works.

im hoping that im remembering this game correctly (i was born 1992 so that gives a bit of a time frame, i was still a little kid at the time. thanks all.
Sounds like Legend of the Mystical Ninja I had for SNES.

Not quite a classic game and yet just came out of my mind sometimes.

Hey guys :)
I remember playing a game 11 years ago where you start as a man in city, so first you must go to a bar where you find dancing women and some cops, I can't remember the rest but I remember going underground where you have to find crystals or something.
It's a Playstation 1 action shooter game.

I'd be really happy if someone finds the name of this game :)

Thanks!

Hi I'm looking for the name of a PC game I used to play when I was little it was along similar lines to commander keen ad duke nukem. The player was an Egg with a hard hat and he used to have to collect bread to defeat a rat and collect potions and stuff on his journey through a castle.. Any ideas? Also there was another one where he was a miner and had to collect jewels that was the same sort of year as the other. There were all sorts of levels one was on a space ship and he had to kill off aliens on lifts to get to the jewels. It was awesome.
Fantasy World Dizzy - is the Egg game

With a little luck, we can find the second one, too. It sounds like it might be one of the Specter/VR Challenger games (the first word in the title varied depending on the game). They were really early 3D games, and largely fit the description you gave.
Sorry, they were alittle more modern then that. The ground and other vehicles had textures.

Hello everyone, I'm trying to remember two old games I played while I was in elementary school. The first one I played in school, can't remember when but I believe it was around 2001. I don't remember too much about other than that there were different color keys involved and that you ended up having to climb up a set of three ladders on a tower to reach the villain. I believe it also had a level or a sequel which had a Christmas theme and I remember something about finding presents to be able to proceed. The second game I played on the computer at a friends house and it had something to do with this girl that sent robots back in time to alter history so she was accurate about her answers on a test and you had to go back and fix everything. One thing I remember is that she changed (I believe) the Golden Gate Bridge to be made out of licorice. If anyone could help I would 'greatly' appreciate it, this has been bugging me for months.

What a brilliant thread!

So I have been searching for these two games awhile/

The first game was on PC, its most likely a DOS game, I was playing this maybe back in 1993/1994. It was a 2D game where you played as a human but in certain situations you transformed into animals such as a frog or bat to get through certain areas. any ideas?

The second game was on Playstation, Its either set in Japan (or China) its an adventure game where you traveled around towns and in each town you could learn different fighting style at the dojo. Drunken Style Kung Fu sticks out in my mind as one style you could learn. As you are traveling you fight enemies and crap
- I thought it was Ronin Blade so I bought it but its not haha

Hopefully someone can help

Hello, I came across this thread hoping to find out about an old computer game that my brother used to play. It's really weird in my memory, it was perhaps Japanese? We used to play it on our old windows computer in the late 90s, early 00s, and all I can remember is that as the player you were a guy, and you had to take a girl on dates and buy her things to make her happy, (there was a score for how happy she was), and ultimately the aim of the game was for her to sleep with you. It sounds odd I know, but it existed! And there was also multiple choice questions it would ask you for extra points and the animations were pretty basic. Some one please help it's driving me crazy!

Hello. I have been looking for a game for many years now. I played it when I was around 10 years old, which is now 12 years ago. It was on an old PC and was with two other games, a math one, and another I do not remember. The one I am searching for was a puzzle-like game with many levels. It reminds me of Pac-Man now because you were traveling through "rooms" or levels and killing ghosts. In order to kill the ghosts you had to trap them with boxes. In each room there were various objects that you had to gather and full of boxes that could be moved by using your person to hit them. I can't remember much about the game, but I am really hoping someone will recognize what I am talking about. Thank you.

There's a Playstation 1 game where you play as a female (I think), and you can change shapes/forms, possibly those of enemies you killed. I think it had a dark atmosphere, or at least the part I'm thinking about you were in a cave at some point. Any suggestions?
Well I googled "PS1 Shapeshifting game" and Threads of Fate popped up. Rue, one of the characters, can change into some of the "killed monsters."

Hopefully that is the one youre looking for :)

Im guessing Jade Empire, and it was only on Xbox (console wise). It was also on OSX
Thanks for the help but the game I am after is older (I would have played it in like 1997-1998)

Alright, here's one for you.

I played this 90s computer game as a child. I remember it was a house that you could go through and clicking on certain objects would make them do certain things, like sing a song, make a noise or animate. I remember an attic with moths, a staircase next to a closet, a living room with a pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey game, a kitchen with a jar of cookies, a bedroom with a spin-top, and a bathroom next to it with an alligator in a tub that said, "See you later, Alligator" when you clicked it.

There was also a teddy bear that went with you through the rooms.

Sure, it was dumb, but I spent hours playing it. HELP PLEASE!

The second game sounds a lot like "Jump Start 3rd Grade." I played the crud out of that one. Polly, the antagonist, was changing history so it would match up to her botched history test answers.

Oh! Another one I can almost remember...

It was a music education game with 3D graphics mixed with 2D. There was a princess in a floating orb who talked to you, and a floating chess room that played the classical song with the loud BUM! note at the end (can't remember that title either, sorry!). I remember the first room you entered was a staircase going down, with two going up (red carpets). To the left was the kitchen, and at the top of the stairs were double doors with I think a large keyhole. Also, something about a dragon?

Really vague? Yes. But there's someone out there who played it, too.

I'm so glad I found this forum! There's an old PC game I used to play when I was really young that I can't remember the name of. I think it rand on Windows 95, but it might have been even earlier than that. I really don't remember much about it, but it was this educational game about animals. It was like an animal encyclopedia or something. You could bring up information about pretty much any animal, and it would show pictures and tell you about the animal, and I think they even had videos and sound clips, so you could hear the sounds they made. I think it was National Geographic, but I'm not sure about that.

I really don't remember anything else; I was really young when I played it. If anyone could help, I'd really appreciate it!
Possibly "The ZOO," were there cartoon animal guides?
