I remember this one game for the PC fondly, you were some kids in Egypt and had to solve puzzles to find special treasures. Or something like that. I just remember being in Egypt, Ancient Egypt I think, and solving puzzles. If anyone remembers the name of the game, or one they think it might be you should totally tell me

i think the one you want is cluefinders 4th grade adventures

Wow, what a thread.

But my request is probably impossible. I'm not sure. I remember playing the game in the late 90s, I got the game from some CD someone gave me which included tons of random games(many were made in foreign countries). But here are some things I remember about the game.


1. The graphics were 3D, they were in their infant stages I guess. But in the 90s they looked amazing to me. And it was a PC game.

2. You are a guy in red clothes. The time period is the midieval times. You arrive to a town on a horse. You get off the horse, and you cross a bridge to get into the town. And then, when you decide to go back to get your horse, the bridge collapses.

3. The town is kinda big, you can pretty much go into any house. The town is completely deserted from what I remember.

4. And then while I was randomly exploring the town, a huge minatour starts following you and starts hunting you down. It kinda spooked the first time he appeared. Just ransacked me out of nowhere and beat me to death. And I had to start the game over. I think it's completely random if you run into him or not, or depending on which path you take.

5. I enter a house and a shapshifting monster resembling a table came to life and started to fight me. I thought that was kind of cool.

6. There was a church with a priest there praying. And when you approach the preist he runs away from you and starts panicking.

7. I couldn't beat the Minatour no matter what. He would find me from time to time and just pummel me to death. He couldn't die no matter how many times I hit him.

8. The game has no weapons at the beginning, but you pick up things and fight with them. Oh, and the controls sucked ass.


ANY clue on what game this is? Keywords would be: Guy in red, minatour, deserted town, bridge collapsing.

What you're looking for is called "Ecstatica: A State of Mind". There is also a sequel. That game creeped the living daylights out of me as a kid. Now kiss me on the cheek and send some good vibes my way!

You are the man! That is exactly the game I'm looking for. Kinda strange I remembered the monster to be a minatour instead of a Werewolf. Anyways, looking forward to playing this one.

Hello

I remember playing a soccer game but I can't remember the name

I can tell you some details , it was like small famous players but with renaming and every famous player of his team have special shot ( example : Brazilian famous player Ronaldo have a special shot )

It was on ps1 , its similar to super shot soccer but it's not it

So anyone know the name of the game ?

Rough guess, but maybe Backyard Soccer? It was apparently called "Junior Sports Football" in Europe.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backyard_Soccer

Although apparently the Backyard Sports series didn't have licensed teams and players until the PS2 era.

I've been trying to remember the name of this game for months, but I can only remember parts of it so it's been rather difficult. The only thing I remember clearly is that I was allowed to build parts of my palace after I completed certain things and made my people happy enough.

That sounds like one of the Civilization games. At certain score mile stones (and the score could be improved by building things and making people happy) there would be a message about how the people want to make an addition to your palace to thank you for the good job you're doing, and then you'd get to select which part would be improved and in what style.

Reposting:

There was this old, online, 2d game. You were this man who could fly and there were all sorts of strange things to see in the sky, and if you flew high enough the sky turned to sea, there were all kinds of things to see in the sea and if you swam far enough you came to the shore of a very small island and the game ended. As far as I can recall it was black and white.

Any help would be appreciated.

I remember a game for ps2, it was a first person shooter in space where you had to travel to other planets in your ship. Im sure it had the word Griffin in the name along with something akin to 'bounty hunter'

EDIT
Literally just as i hit post i remembered it was 'Mace Griffin bounty hunter'

 

[DeadpoolSkye]

Had a friend mention this game today, so I have no idea if the description is accurate or not. I'm just helping him out.

It's a PS2 game where you play as one of the last few people on earth. The rest of the world is filled with ghosts...and you collect some kind of experience points. That's all he could tell me. He wasn't even sure if it was a horror game.

EDIT: He also had an inkling that it was a Japanese game, but he wasn't sure.

DOS game, a version of the Asian game of Go. Or perhaps a variant of Reversi or Othello.

Different 'races' to play as. Only one I can remember is snowmen. Top-down, or perhaps slightly skewed top-down (like the original Diablo perspecive), with different tiles. Turn based. You picked a tile, and got a weak minion there. Everything adjacent to that tile was affected- each of your units adjacent to it got better (bigger, different image, etc). Similar to putting another chip on top of one in checkers. If an enemy unit was in an adjacent tile to the one you put down, it was weakened. If it was a little pansy, it would die (or be converted to your side?), if it wasn't little then it would be taken down a notch.

If you have ideas, please send me a message. This thread gets a zillion replies!

I dont know if someone already mentioned it but 103 pages is a bit much to read through Im looking for a game wich i played (if i remember correctly)around end 90's begin 2000. Its a strategy/real-time strategy game in the medieval times. you had one castle and you could build your city around it. You had alot of different resource buildings like a building for wine, crops, weapons and so on. The resources were made at these buildings and laborers would get the resources when they were finished and brought them to the stockpile (your castle). With these resources you had to feed your people and you could create soldiers. Its alot like stronghold but then a much older game. anyone knows the name?

thx in advance

It sounds a lot like Age of Empires

Could be Settlers (Age of Empires didn't have Wine as far as I know).

Sounds a bit like 1602 AD. Check that game out and if it sounds similar but not quite it, check the other games in the series. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anno_1602

im looking for a game i played like 6 or 7 years ago it whas a strategy game where u had different races like humans,dwarfs,2 kinds of elves , lizardmen , and inferno and maybe more
u could also control 1 commander and u had to build buildings so u can create creatures ure commander could gain xp u ahd 1 main buildig wich could be lvled a few times

im looking for this game like 5 years and it isnt warcraft

Sounds kinda like Disciples: Sacred Lands, or one of its sequels. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disciples:_Sacred_Lands Or perhaps one of the Heroes of Might and Magic games. Otherwise, I would look into Total Annihilation; that was a strategy game with a commander who gained levels. There were lots of TA copy-cats; one of them might be what you are describing.

Hi guys, I have been searching for an old arcade game for a long time. It is a scrolling shooter type like megaman. In that game, you control a shooter robot that can run on the ground or climb the ceiling (not vertical walls). When the robot is hoping between the ceiling and the ground it gains some kind of invincible shield that can be used to destroy the enemies. I remember in one of boss fights, the robot is trapped in a small rectangular space and it has to keep using invincible shield to dodge all the attacks and damage the boss. Another boss (or mini boss) scene is the robot fights many snake heads on both side of the walls and it has to keep jumping (between infinity levels of horizontal walls) and use invincible shield to dodge the laser attack from mouth of those snake heads. I played this game in late 1980s and early 1990s but I forgot the name. Thanks in advance!

Hi. Back in the beginning of the 90's I used to play an arcade game about a boy (he kind of looked like Songoku when he was a kid. He had a similar red outfit). This boy shoots fireballs and he is in some kind of sewers I believe. He used to play against monsters. Its a 2D game, action/plataforms. Any clue? Been looking for it fo a couple of years and can't find anything about it. Thanks

Guys I am drowning here... i really need to find that 3d ball game, I have searched everywhere, please help me- it's a game where you have to navigate a ball through platforms and the platforms were in outer space- there were different types of levels- like wooden, metal and colorful, and different types of floors- the ice was the harder to navigate the ball onto, you had to jump with the ball a lot and there were also arrows which made the ball faster.

Hi all,

Apologies if these two games has already been requested, been searching the web for these games but cant get anything specific.

1) A PC game, mid to late 90, possibly early 00s. Similar to pokemon as it was an open town 2d tilt view. Included an element of fantasy or magc or dragons of some sort. Part of the game was walking into a certain area of the map, however it was blocked two poles with lighting between them. The map was blocked by mountains to the north. The name Johnny Eastwood rings a bell but that my be a red herring.

2) This game was about paranormal stuff. The map, from what i can remember, was a house and a boathouse next to a lake in the coutryside. Weird stuff happens and a specific part that i could remember was being able to read paranormal activity from the door-knobs and it turning winter.

Many thanks and much appreciated.

The only game I can think of is actually called "DSCHUMP" and it has a ball bouncing along platforms in what looks like outer space, and has arrows but I think those reverse the direction of the ball. Just a guess, but worth a shot.

Hi!
I'm looking for the name of an old Mac game aroudn 1990-1998
in the game you see a circus with all kinds of mini games that you can play.
The mini games I remember:
- on a trapeze swing around
- lions had to throw balls into a basketball net
- you could cannon clowns
- big parade in which all characters are dressed like you want.
- you had to teach elephant to dance with foodsteps or something like that.

The main character is a little mouse (I Think).
