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

[rickganfei]

I remember a PS1 game I had many many years ago, and I'm not sure what happened to it. All I know is, I started it, got stuck, and never touched it again. I vaguely remember something about being a criminal, and being forced to wear this mask...thing...and being dropped into some sewers and wandering around killing things in the sewers. As I said this was many years ago so those are the only details I recall. It may even have been a ps2 game though I doubt it.

Side note, the capcha I got at first for this post ended with that weird wavey = sign. I don't have that button, guys...

That sound like Splatter house, but I only remember it for Sega genesis/megadrive

Hey I'm looking for a PC 2d co-op split screen scroller . It was from the 90's, I used to play it in a 386.

The level was mostly empty (black background) and there were columns and beams forming primitive buildings which you could jump on, you could throw bombs and these structures would turn into little boulders when exploded, and fly everywhere. It had very primitive physics, as in every object had to be standing over something otherwise it would fall.

You controlled a guy who could run and jump, you could get momentum when running and jump to the next structure or just start throwing bombs at the bottom of the structures.
The level as I remember was like an "arena", a big bounding box with delimited walls.

When playing co-op you could throw bombs to each other, and sometimes you would see boulders falling into your head because the other one was exploding the buildings.

The goal of the level was to get all the small items in the level, like a diamond, a ring, a fruit, etc. Sometimes you turned into rubble the wrong building and the item got buried under these boulders and they got destroyed.

Note: this is nothing related to Supaplex or Boulder or anything like that, the gameplay was totally different

I've been looking for this game for too long! It's even hard for me to describe the game so it was impossible to google it without getting results like supaplex and the like

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.

There is a game that I believe was exclusive to Macs called "Marble Blast Gold." You never said what console or OS the game was on, so I'm afraid that's the best I can do ;-)

Anyway, I have a request. In the early 2000s, the computers at my middle school had this educational video game where you were trapped in a castle, and you navigated it by exploring different rooms and answering trivia questions to open more doors. It was medieval themed and there was something to do with a jester, but I think the questions were about everything (history, math, science, etc). It was fully 2D and you didn't really have a "player character," you just appeared in the different rooms and answered questions. It would have been on Windows 98 or ME, I believe. Any help would be appreciated :3

There is this game that I used to play on the PC with a friend of mine, back in the late 90's, maybe even early 2000.

It involved a rabbit that welcomed you into the forest, it took you to a taking tree and more animals that lived there. In one part you had to go to a watchtower during nighttime and there was something about Orion and the stars. Then the whole world/forest in the game turned red/hellish. There were dead animals next to the road and there was a dragon. At this point we remember different stuff, but one of us says the dragon was in some sort of lake/pond and there was something with cages. The talking tree was asleep and couldn't help you.
There was also a part where the animals would hold a party..

The style of the game was cartoonish (drawn) not computer animated.

We figured out afterwards that you could actually skip this whole hell part.

Thanks in advance, we've been looking for it for ages!

I'm trying to remember an old text-only RPG I played in the late 90s/early 2000s. There were no graphics. I just being able to choose your characters abilities (mine was a necromancer). I've been Googling for an hour and coming up blank!

Is this a text-only RPG as in, you only input text commands, or as in, your character is a @ and you're fighting monsters represented by letters?

text-only

Could it be Mindmaze? I remember a game very similar was bundled with Encarta Encyclopedia.

Anyone remember an old PC game that was similar to Gauntlet? I played it in the mid 1990s and you had to use gold to buy warriors/mages/other classes and could switch off which character to control at a time. If a character dies they stay dead and would have to pay to get a new one. It had a top-down view much like the old Gauntlet games. There would be swirly blue portals that would take you to other levels. I remember that each class had a set of skills like the mage could teleport, the warrior could charge, etc.

Hi. In the 90's I used to play an arcade game about a boy (he kind of looked like Songoku.He had a similar red outfit). This boy shoots fireballs and he is in some kind of sewers I believe. He kills monsters, and had the usual monster boss at the end of each stage. Its a 2D game, action/plataforms. It was a kind of cool game, with cool monsters and action music. He shoots some kind of fireballs, and when he died he turned to you, screams and desapears.
Any clue? Thanks

 

[madhamish]

ooo god hope anyone can help me with this.
sorry for my bad english at first.

i'm trying to search for this old pc game. now i know it was a game that involved travling true some kind of stargates and the first planet if i remember that you start on was with these alien people that teach you how to use your skills like sneaking and shooting and stuff. now once going true the portal you had to save that world save the villagers and stuff and shoot aliens it was a pritty hard game and the main char you play was a guy i know that for sure also that he was dependent on some type of money to buy bullets for his gun and stuff plzzz i don;t know if its much but i'm 24 now and i think i was like 12 or even younger when i played this


ps thx if you know and it was not stargate thats for sure

It was called Outcast - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outcast_%28video_game%29

Great game.

Hi - I'm looking to track down a game - I think I played it on the Spectrum but certainly it was very simple. Black screen, white wireframe graphics. Two ships compete against each other trying to knock a ball into the other person's goal. The ships can fire bullets which hit the ball and they can move around in zero gravity to bash into each other or the ball. Dead simple, Dead addictive. Any ideas?

 

[bowowser]

I know this is a very broad description.. but there was a game I played with my dad when I was super young (I'm 18 but the game was much older than that) and it was a knight/peasant sort of game. You could move any direction on the screen to move around the map. There was a castle at one point that you could cross a bridge to get into but I don't remember much more than that. It was VERY old, big pixels and all. There may have been grass that you could cut up and collect stuff from or little houses you could go into but I'm not sure and I have no clue what it's called and neither does my dad. Help!

Any idea what console you played it on, or was it a PC game? Some of what you mentioned sounds like it could be a Zelda game, or maybe Soliel / Crusader of Centy on Megadrive/Genesis.

It was a PC game, definitely. It wasn't Zelda and it wasn't any of the other ones you mentioned It was EXTREMELY basic. Most of the map from what I remember was just grass. There were people you could talk to in the game...I'm not sure anyone can answer this one I don't remember enough about it. I'm dying to know what it is though.

I need help. Back in 2007-2008 I've played a 3rd person game.You started in a camp after you've created you're own character. The Elder of this camp trained you (fighting,riding and hitting dummies on foot and horse) and sent out for missions and stuff...
You can ride a horse,you engage wolves in the forest, some villagers by the windmill, and some soldiers...
I don't know what category is it , maybe 3rd person medieval sword game . It reminds me of Mount and Blade, but only older.... way older perhaps ..

can you help me?

 

[fallondanielle]

So I have been going insane trying to figure out these two games I used to play on the PC. Maybe you will remember the names?

One was where you played a boy and had to figure out different puzzles along the way, I do not remember the plot though. I know some of the puzzles were catching silkworms, going across a ticklish hill, something about a wierd shaped root, I think you had to get dragon p
oop somewhere along the line.

The other game was where you were a lizard in part of it, like in the light or something, and before you went into a cave you turned into this huge monster thing. You got chased by panthers at some point and as a lizard could hide under a bridge or something to save yourself.

I have no idea why I remember these little bits and pieces but it is killing me that I cant figure the two names out! Figure this out for me!!!!

 

[twentythree2607]

Hey I'm also trying to figure out a game from my childhood. I remember you being some kind of scientist maybe and you have to defeat this mastermind guy. Its based around a map of a city (birds eye view) where you go to different parts of the city trying to catch this mastermind (who is also roaming around the city) and along the way you solve puzzles and get rewarded items for solving them. At first you dont know where he is and you need to find him, then when you eventually catch up to the mastermind, a cut scene takes place where you use your items as weapons to try defeat the guy and he does the same. I remember some of the items being like some monkeys with bazookas missiles or something like that. And then some stupid things like a banana peel.

Would be great if someone could figure this out, thanks

Hmm...could it be God of Thunder?

I'm fairly sure that you are looking for MindMaze which was bundled with Encarta???
My school had it and I remember it fairly well, matches your description anyway

Here is a video of it:

I dont know if this has been asked or solved allready(to lazy to scimm trough all 106 pages)but anyway.

On the first computer we got when I was a little kid( at the time of windows 95) we had a game allready installed. All I remember is it had the words MS-DOS in the title and it where in 3d. you played as a japanese guy who could go around town interacting with people..and doing quests I think, then there was some weird level with sceletons you had to fight and something with a cage...well I dont remember that much(it's been 15 years nearly) just that it looked cool and they even had weather animations in it so it rained at some points...and there was a harbor hope someone can shed some light on this

 

[gamefinder1010]

I am trying to remember the name of an old PC game I played in elementary school (1993 - 1998).

It was a third-person game that explored Ancient Egypt and the pyramid. There were various levels/tasks/puzzles to solve to continue through the pyramid. You could gather inventory items as you went along. One strange thing that I remember is that at the very beginning you had to feed a cheeseburger (inventory item) to a bird to distract it.

I have looked all over the internet, and while I have found numerous Egpyt/Pyramid games, I can't find any videos or screen captures that I recognize.

Does anyone recognize this game???

 

[doodadofdeath]

I'm trying to remember an old ps1 or ps2 game(can't seem to remember which) where you can control mechs that shoot rockets or trucks that lay down mines. I used to play this with my brother when we were young but neither one of us can remember the name. You had to control mechs or trucks in order to fight these enemies in different maps (some were snowy and some were grassy).
If any one could help me that would be awesome.
