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

[Shane Schrupp]

Hi Everyone, one more try! I have 3 games from my childhood I often remember.

1. I think this was on the Commodore or the Amiga maybe. I'm guessing mid to late 80s. You were in a vehicle on some world that was used as a testing grounds for alien devices or something. You'd go around looking for various alien devices and try to equip them in your vehicle I think. I have vague images of a conveyor belt that the items would come into your vehicle. Maybe some sort of robot that would grab them. I remember that you couldn't always equip devices, like there were energy requirements or other requirements. Like certain technologies were incompatible with others. This was first person, 3D environment or whatever passed for 3D back then. You never left the vehicle.

2. This is an arcade game in maybe the late 80s or early 90s. Side-scroller, although I don't think the screen scrolled. You flew a little bomber plane trying to sink ships. I believe you did so by diving down at the ships. I recall you controlled your plane by doing loops. I remember just looping around and around trying to get the right dive approach.

3. Another arcade game. This was definitely around '89-'91 that I played it. It was a side-scroller shooter. You flew a helicopter or maybe it was a ship. There were a number of different upgrades you could get that would attach to the helicopter/ship allowing you to shoot down instead of just forward, maybe some homing missiles or something, etc. I remember it being slightly futuristic setting.

For some reason these three pop into my head now and then and I just can't remember what they were called! I know that 3rd one ate up a lot of my quarters but I remember playing for quite a while on each quarter.

Thanks!

Hello guys!

Im wondering about a game from late 90s or early 2000s. Its both a driving and a shooting game. You have a yellow or a orange car, with a gunner on your car. You drive (at least in free-play mode) around in a desert area shooting enemy cars.

I can remember something from the video when youre starting the game. Its about some man throwing dices wherever he should kill a guy or not...

I know its not too much information, but I would be incredibly happy for any tries

Greetings, everyone!
This looks like an amazing thread! I already found one of the games I was looking for in here without even posting!!

Anyways, there is another game on my mind. It must have been 10+ years ago since I last played it (maybe it came out much earlier, though). It was a 2D side-view shooter game. The screen did not scroll around. It had a grim dark atmosphere and there were computer AI bots for the other soldiers beside you. It had an arena-style gameplay and the purpose was to keep killing the other players. I think there was a deathmatch (team and non-team modes) mode and also a CTF mode. From time to time boxes would drop from the sky and when you picked them up you would receive a weapon. I remember that when you picked up an Uzi you would hear a high-pitched voice "Uziiiii!" or something like that. Also (I'm not sure about this one) when you shoot into the dirt you could dig it. One thing I clearly remember was that when you die a tombstone would be spawned at that place. There was also a lot of blood. If I recall correctly the soldiers were either red or blue (or red or black? not really sure here). I just found a somewhat similarly looking game called Soldat, but it doesn't seem to be the one at all.

If anyone remembers the game I'm talking about, I'll be extremely happy. Thanks in advance!

my turn.

Maybe mid-nineties. Its a computer game, a rpg. You start as a baby and you start in a cave? when you gain exp you grow up, and you have red hair, eventually. Outside you fight wild animals. I remember if you went directly left of the starting position there were some really strong animals-elephant and alligator- but if you were lucky you could get to some kind of knife that was really helpful in the beginning. If you killed a jaguar you received its skin as ?armor? it was an overhead view, not a side scroller. thats all i remember

 

[Perry Gaffoor]

I have one, it's been bugging me for years, the problem is my memory of it is incredibly vague and possibly some of it is dreamt up :/

What I remember:

A sidescroller, where you are in some sort of caves/tunnels. I very distinctly remember it being puzzle-like, you had to find objects like a levitation device and also some sort of key for a bridge... You go to the left or right end of the screen and it takes you to another part of the cave/tunnel etc any enemies are a blur, but what stands out (and this may be the part I dreamt) the image of a 'castle' with some kind of fire and guarded by I think Anubis-like creatures. I don't think it was a castlevania game as some have suggested.

Other than that, sorry I can't be more specific

Okay! So! There is this game I used to play all the time on Playstation when I was little. And for the life of me, I can't remember the name! All I can remember is that you were in a metal suit type thing and you had a jet pack and you had to go to the different isles to collect things, and there were also levels with boss's or whatever that you had to fight. I think your person was a fox looking thing? Not for certain. But please, if you can help me with the name at all, it would be much appreciated.

There was this old PS2 game where you were this mini car and you travelled, did missions and raced against other mini cars. {the mini cars are kind of like the cars in crazy taxi}

 

[Tesral]

There was 2 brothers who smashed stuff on junkyard (i think they where red and blue)

Trash It for ps1. I only had the demo, but at the time the builder being able to squeeze entirely inside his own hat was the funniest thing in the world.

Hey there guys. I'm trying to remember a game I played long time ago. It had these two characters and it was RPG-ish. During daytime you would play with a guy with a sword and during nighttime your character was a vampire girl that had two blades in her hands slashing her enemies. They would eventually meet somehow and go to a castle. I'm sorry if this is really vague but I can't quite remember. Thank you in advance!

I can't for the life of me remember the name of a mobile game I used to play a lot.

It was a puzzle game. You would battle against computer opponents. The game itself was connect 5 of a kind by pushing whole lines or collumns. And the game was in space. The main trait of the game was that you have to match red blocks to attack with rockets, green blocks to get defensive powers, yellow to mess with other players (like jamming) and blue for buffing yourself.

Hey,

I remember playing a certain PC game but I can't remember its name. It was a sort-of cartoon-styled point and click mystery game based underwater. I remember there being some puzzles and sharks maybe? And it was replayable in a sense that everytime you played it, there were different items in different places and so on - so it wasn't that long, maybe made more for younger kids. It had a lot of dialogue. I also remember some parts being above water. The game was probably made around 1995-2002.

I also remember a part where you auctioned stuff across the world to an Elk named Tony from Montana, but I'm not sure it was the same game.. If that's not the case, the name of this game will be well appreciated as well!

 

[Batou667]

I thought it was called crystal warriors or rainbow warriors, but no luck.

I'm probably late, but Rainbow Islands?

I managed to find this snippet of gameplay, but have still not found out anything being able to buy it or find it online.

everything i can remember:
very old, dos game

the game started outside a building, while snowing and you had to go inside several levels, collecting items while passing through them
i can't remember more at the moment

Hello everyone, I spend many hours trying to find this game over past 7 years and I will be incredibly glad if someone can help me.

Here is what I know:

Strategy game
On Windows or Dos (before Windows XP)
Prehistoric themed
It had some dinosaurs cave men and wizards
I remember some buildings green filds, forests and deserts.
Your units got leveled for kills or someting like that.

I remember playing Blood and Magic, Red alert 1 and Settlers but I am pretty sure they were released few years later to this game.


Thank you so much for any effort.

Hey guys.

Awesome thread! Had a good trawl through, but all the ones I can answer have been answered..

So I recall a coin op arcade game in our local newsagents. Must have been 87-90 or thereabouts. 2D side on platformer where you played as either a young boy, a girl or a strong man. Each character had it's own strengths and weaknesses - eg there were certain gaps that the strong man couldn't get over as he couldn't jump as far. You could switch out between the different characters (possibly by collecting tokens to allow the swap?). It was all kinda swinging jumping falling dodging kind of action and hella fun.

Been evading me for 20 years this one...

[trollhunter]

Someone please help! I remember playing this computer game when I was in elementary school so early to mid 90's. The main character was a troll, he was on a mountain and he had to collect keys, they were hidden and he had to find them all over. I can't really remember anything else about it..

 

[King Trondemir]

Jesus, I found this thread because of another urge to find this game.
When I was 10-ish yrs old(20 now), a friend's sister came back from Japan and bought us PS1 games.

I remember this one adventure game where there is this old man(grandfather or father) and a young man(probably his son or grandson) on a jungle and they were wearing safari suits if I remember correctly, they explored the jungle and wildlife, they have a tent and you can enter it. I think the young man's the one you control and the old man just follows him, the young man has a wooden mallet(a huge one lol) and the old man can die when we were exploring so we had to be careful. I think there were dinosaurs in that game. Not sure. Aside from what I already said, there was a point where the old man became ill and you had to cure him.

That's all I could remember. It had a japanese title so I couldn't even remember a word on the title, I hope someone gives me justice >u<
