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

[gamelover24]

this is such a good discussion! can anyone help me with this?
i played it on pc in the 90s. you're someone dressed in some dark skintight outfit and you can shoot at enemies. there are various levels to get through. i specifically remember jumping from platform to platform in a circular room. and there's a bit where you have to fire a decoy to distract tanks from you. and there's a bit where you have to disguise yourself as a dalek-like machine so you enter this hall and pick something up (maybe a key or grenade or something?!) and the last fight is through a screen at a mysterious enemy in a tower. oh, and the character was called something harris, or harris something. and at the end he relaxes in his apartment with his dog.
hazy memories...but such a good game!! if anyone could help that would be brilliant!

oh and there were automatic doors which closed in a sort of spiral motion.

Hi all, im new to this site and need some help with a game.
I have this one game i cant find and cant get of my mind. It was my ex who introdused me to the game, but he nor his friends can remember the name of the gam
Its a gamme where u controll a vehicle that can walk on ground and fly, but it cant go in water. u also fight in air and on the ground. and u have to land on plattforms to recharge ur energy (shield and weapon). Theese plattforms are either on ground or on air carrier ships. The vehicle is blue and silver/grey if i remember correctly. if im not wrong u do not start out as a pilot, but you have to step in for the real pilot. and u go trough training in ground and air combat. and you do not controll a char just this vehicle.

Hello, I've been looking for this game for years, when recently a google search lead me to this interesting thread.

I played this game around 11 years ago (I wasn't even 10), so my memories are blurry.
What I remember is that there were some kind of "cards" representing different military ranks, you could see your own "cards" and the enemies were up side down. Each one on his own turn advanced one card, and when cards were close enough you could chose to attack, after attacking the enemy card is turned and if it is a military with a higher rank (or a rank that counters you), you lose that card, if your card is stronger, the enemy loses his.
The music of the game was very nice and if I remember well the back of the enemy's army was red.

I hope this bad description reminds anyone the name of the game, thanks in advance.

This sounds like some computer game version of Stratego (I had the board game, but not the computer game, so it's a bit of a stab in the dark).

Thank you so much! It's that game! Now I just have to find the version I had.

Hi there!

When I was a kid, I played this on a computer at a friend's house. I was only 5 or 6 years old, so it must have been sometime around 1995 probably... I can't remember if the game was new back then. Here's what I recall:

You are a little guy running around outside on a green nature-looking map, collecting different kinds of things, mainly gems that were kinda heart-shaped. There are skunks that spray some stuff that kills or damages you. I can't remember if you were able to kill em or if you just had to dodge their sprays. I think you could also "talk" to persons but i'm not sure about that. What I remember clearly is a part of the game where you had to go underground and dodge 4 or 5 spiders' poison in order to go past them. I remember this level being really scary so my friend and I always had his dad do this part of the game for us.
As I am german and the game was in english, I did never get what the game was all about and I think I never made it past the first few minutes of the level or adventure. It was in bird perspective and from my current point of view it had really raw, basic graphics. I think we played it on a DOS-system or maybe Win95.

Please help me, I've been looking for the name of this game for hours now!!

That sounds like God of Thunder. I remember the skunks well. >:|

So there are these 2 games, I can't tell you enough how much it bothers me that I can't remember the names, I used to play them as a kid in the late 90's/early 00's...

1) and undersea point and click adventure for the pc, possibly a learning game, where you would go from screen to screen, solving problems, there was Poseidon and his trident, and I remember you were looking for these sea urchins as a bonus once and a while. I'm pretty sure the person you guided was a diver, the game was dark, and well drawn from what I can remember, and the cd case was possibly part of a set of adventures related

2)a weird and creepy pc adventure/mini-game from the 90's/early 00's where you crawled through vents and looked down into rooms, I don't remember the point of the game, all I remember was that there was one mini game where you could play squares with a hand that would draw a line between dots on the foggy window after you made your move, it was another dark themed game for parts, and I wouldn't know what the full objective of the game was

The first one is very likely to be Eco Quest: The Search for Cetus.

I played a game when a was 6years old around 2001 or 2002.It was a alien, strategy shooter. It had a little person or kid with a green eskino type hat and glasses (one of your playable characters) that got shot in the head by a alien sniper in a snowy level and was burred thier. Then there were aliens you had to fight the aliens were short, green and had big fish like lips and a anphibious like body. The first level took place by a river and it had three aliens that after you killed them a bigger tougher one would come through some rocks. The second level had a little town with a bridge across water and one of those things that churn water by rivers (sorry can't remember). The last level took place on their alien ship. In the game you could blow up the ground and find upgrades or health or something like that and in the second level with the town you could take down the buildings and get the power up in one of them. Also your person could only move a certain amount of steps and then you had to fire from where you were at the alien or where ever you wanted. Their was also a big muscular black guy that had a bazukka or mortar type weapon that he would get on one knee to fire. The objective type deal was to kill all the alien amphibian type things in the stage mission area.

All I can remember of this game is the trailer where there is a big green lizard like man who has a big gun and puts it on his back as he lowers his head and rams into enemies. There is also a male character wearing a hat that has very large turret or gatlen guns that shoots enemies while getting onto a helicopter. Another female character has the ability to go invisible and uses a knife to slit enemy throats.

I cannot remember this game for the life of me and it has been bothering me for a while. I believe it was for the original XBOX but I am not sure. Thanks for the help.

Hi!

Ok so I have one game that I can't remove from my mind but can't find it either.

The game was 2d, you were controlling a little spaceship and killing aliens and I think shooting asteroids. After every round you were getting some random ship components/parts like hull, engine, weapons or something. You were building the ship yourself you had weight on the ship and how much the parts weighted so you can choose between them. And on every round you were getting better random equipment and putting it on your ship. Also there is 2 player mode, both playing on the same computer and screen and getting different ship parts to put on the ship.

The game was old I think around 2000-2008 but can't be sure, the view is similar to the asteroid game on top so you don't have scrolling or anything. I played it on windows so it wasn't flash or anything similar. The interface was blue and simple as I can remember.

If anyone can help just tell me the name I'm freaking out.. D

Hi guys.

I need a name of a game I played when I was a kid.
It's a racing game. It's like Star Wars Episode I Racer, but instead of spaceships like there, you have cars. Modiffied and strange cars.
I think it's a game from 2001-2004.

Thank you!


I found it!
It was Safari Biathlon...

Hi everyone!

This is the second time I've tried to find out the title of this game and somehow I doubt it will amount to anything, but I'll give it a go.
It's an old game, 1990s I think, but it could be older. I played it around 1998, but it can be older and it was on a CD that had a collection of 100 games for PC. Just random, not very popular games, I think. I remember playing this one game that had a crocodile or a dinosaur or a lizard or some other kind of reptile as a main, character, I can't really remember. It's a 2D platform game, you just go through the forest and collect stuff. Oh, and it's not Croc, just in case you think it is.
I know my description is obscure, but I can't remember anything else. Sorry

 

[7rockrules]

All right I'm trying to figure it out the name of this game I hope you can help me. I remember I used to play it in the 90's with a windows 98 computer. I remember there was no purpose in this game, all you had to do was clicking in different objects in a room and they did different things, for example I remember there was a sword in a stone, you clicked on it and a hallelujah chorus song appeared, I remember there was a rat saying ¡CHEESE! when you clicked on it, it was like a magic room and I think it had something to do with Merlin the wizard.

I think this was an educational game because I remember it also taught me the planets, including one called "Planet X"
I hope you can help me, I´ve been searching it and it's driving me crazy. Thank you

Hello guys! This has been bugging me so much.

So i remember i played this on the PC about maybe 6-8 years ago and it's this FPS game where you controll either a Human that has a jetpack, or a big ass monster that walks. So it's like this Class Based FPS game, but because one of the team is just 1 guy controlling 1 big monster i don't think it can be classed as an FPS.

Also i'm not 100% sure but there may have been a third race in there aswell.

I've been searching all over for this game but i just can't find it. Any help is appreciated!

Hello!!

I remember playing lots of games on the Sega Megadrive, I'm not very sure if they were pirated or not, I hope not, but I'm from Romania and the games were sold at the local market in my town. I can't remember the name of those games so if you people could help me I would be very pleased.

-The first one is an old police-chasing videogame, I played it when I was like 6 years old. It's pretty similar to Chase H.Q but with worse graphics. One of the few things I remember was that the first car to chase was a white car and you had to hit it hard untill it get's destroyed so then, a cutscene appears with an image of the thieves being arrested by the police (Player).

-The second game is a fighting/action game, not fighting games like street fighter which are between two opponents. In this game, you are a character somekind like "Bruce Lee" and you have to face lots of opponents in different levels, those opponents usually take doors to defend themselves and you have to kick those doors untill they get unprotected. The environments are somekind of mansions, the city, very pinky looking graphics. The final level you have to face the boss in a somekind of a laboratory and after defeating him the game comes to it's end. At the end, an photo of the character (who was similar to Bruce Lee) appears with a very nice melody.

-The third game was a pretty futuristic contra like action game in which you are a soldier and I can't remember what enemies you have to fight, But I can remember you can enter vehicles like little "planes" and the graphics weren't bad at all. The environment is somekind of a futuristic city. This game dosen't look like Metal Slug at all, I personally think it's even older.

-The other games I would like to find were all similar to Contra. I can remember a few levels and those games were all similar so they could a sequel. In one of those games, the first level is facing soldier enemies and at the end you have to fight a mighty soldier boss. As I said, this games were action games, just like contra, with shotting, jumping, etc...
The other game of this "sequel" I can remember a very few things, I can remember a "transparent" or white little boat you have to take to arrive at a base where the boss lives in. the perspective of this game was somekind of "upper camera" in which you can see the final boss angry, with two guns shooting at you. You have to defeat that boss.

The fifth game is another "street fighting" game where you are a strong fighter and you have to fight enemies by waves, there are usually normal enemies and you can fight using punches, kicks or other moves to throw your enemies away. I can remember waves in which the enemies were stronger, they looked just like "The Thing" from Fantastic Four (xD), and those enemies were harder to kill. I remember one stage where you had to fight those enemies and you could throw them at a conveyor beld so they fell into a whole and die.

I hope you people can help me out with these games!
