I played a PvP strategy game years ago - I can't remember the name of it - and it's driving me crazy!
It was a turn based e-mail game - involving space marines, robots, and an insect race (I think). You were allotted points - bought your units (I think for the marines you could choose: grunt, medic, grenadier (w bouncing grenades), sniper, re-load base, and commander.
Any help would be appreciated!
Was it Quantum Space?
I stumbled across that in my witch-hunt. Try checking that out.

EDIT: Here, try this link. It's got a whole list of play-by-email games.

Happy to help, also the name of the game I was looking for is Dark Orbit.
Now to find the right version of it..

EDIT: It was a 2003 WildTangent game, and it DOES NOT exist anywhere anymore. It's been discontinued. At least I found out what it was called ): My hunt is over. Time elapsed: 7 hours

Ok i still have not found the name of this game, i was young when i played it, it was definitely a sega game idk what i had it was durning the late 90s it may have been a genesis, anyways excuse my rough description of the game all i can say is it was a 2d flatscreen game and you started on a futuristic alien jungle and you could shoot the aliens with a handgun or you could throw a rock and they would walk to it to distract them i think the character had like a brown jacket and blue jeans i am in your debt if you know the name of this game i cant find it anywhere.
I can't remember which but it's either Another World (also known as Out of this World) or Flashback.

I remember this game i think it was played on the sega megadrive (Genesis) in the 90's. Description of it you were a little spaceship with baby angel wings where you would fight bosses, last boss with a big rainbow fish. That is all i can remember. If someone could remember would help a great deal as i have been searching for hours

I remember this game from the mid 2000s like 2005 or 2006 that dealt with you riding some elephant/mammoth type animal through a course. It was like a car test except with a large animal. I've been searching forever! Also another where you were in a car chase in an empty type city. They would chase you except there was no one to interfere with you. Please help me I've looked for these for so long!

I have another game too throw into the mix -

it was around 1995-1998, a medieval puzzle game were you are accompanied by a jester - you have the choice of different wooden doors that you have to go into and complete in order to progress.

You start the game outside the castle and you move in over the moat through a large wooden door and i think the doors had numbers on them - the graphics where terrible if i remember right.... it was in schools and was possibly on the same disc / time as the game "hover".

So yeah not alot too go on :S

any ideas ?
if it's the one I'm thinking of then it's called MindMaze and it was on Encarta, which probably explains why it was in schools. hope it's helped you out

I've been looking for this game for 10 years now.
-It is a RTS style game with outer space features.
-2.5D Graphics on the PC.
-The game only has a campaign. (I Think)
-There are 2 playable races.
Human (Or something similar)
Alien
-Both play the same and only have different looks and names.
(Human - House)
(Alien - Hatchery)
-I think resources are some kind of crystals or rocks which you built collection buildings on or around to harvest infinantly.
-One thing that was different to me was that Infantry units could shoot while moving, kinda like a tank turret.

-The maps you play on are like a planet connecting all the way around so there isnt an edge to the map.
-At the start of the game you have to destroy an enemy on your planet.
-After you destroy the enemy you get to build a Space Ship (Like a Mothership) and go to the next Planet / Level.
(I think the Mothership works as a HQ when placed on a planets surface.)

-Once you go to another planet you can still go to the previous planet and harvest resources, build units, and create
additional space ships like frieghters and fighters that can carry resources and units to other planets.

-The Space View is just a side view of the solar system which you can see your planets and any Space Ships traveling to
other planets.
-There isnt much for space battles since you cant control the ships in space.
-If an unarmed ship comes across a fighter its basicly screwed

Thats all that I can recall about the game since I didnt get vary far into it.

Hopefully someone knows about it.

So there's this game I remember playing on a Windows 95.

It's a 2D action platformer.
You control a lizard dude, who runs around in the jungle shooting enemies.
I think he has a laser gun.
At first you have to go underground and after that you have to climb high onto the trees to get over a sort of wall on the left. If you get over it, there's a bigger enemy.

I seriously hope someone knows what I'm talking about. I've been searching for this game for 8 years.

I'm trying to remember the game I played 10 years ago, and it's probably older than that. It was 2D and on the PC with a guy walking around on a snowy mountain, and I can't remember what the objectives were. But I do remember that you would go into this store which had a scale I think, probably to trade in the gems you collected? And I remember you'd go to the next level by going in a snowy cave and climbing up the ladder.

hey there-
I am on a wild goose chase for a game i played when I was 8 (1997?). All I can remember is that it was a sample cd from somewhere and it had two cats as main characters and mice throughout. Its a childrens PC game where they read a story and you get to play in every scene. There were mini games and such. At the end there was the 2 cats and a bunch of pipes or something and you had to figure out how to get the contraption to work. I know this is vauge and a long-shot, but any input is greatly appreciated :]

Okay so, this was an old PC game, it had to of been around 1995ish. It was a cartoon game where the kingdom was in trouble and you had to go around gathering the "knights" to save the kings. The blacksmith was a knight that could change into a key and there were a bunch of other knights from the "round table" i believe. That's really all I remember.
Could have been one of the many King's Quest games.

Check them out.

No :( it wasn't that old school it was also somewhat of a children's learning game

There was one where you played a boy who went to get his dog back from a shadow world.

Also, there was one where you were a guy who controlled little green aliens. Goo ones!

Hello everybody! Im looking for a game and hopefully somebody can help me out. There was a game in windows 98 (or 95) a space game. In it there was a space ship that you would have to navigate through somewhat of a maze. We could play diffrent levels in it and when the space ship speed up it couldnt speed down, but you could turn around and steer. and in it there were diffrent colour platforms that you had to land on. Some were safe but on others when you came your space ship blasted. I think there was also doors that you had to open up and go through. These are all the details that i remember. if any body knows the name of the game i would really like to know!! Thank You!

Hi! :) I used to play a game with my sister, and we remember it well since it was one of the few with a female protagonists we could find where we used to rent games. It was a mega drive/genesis and the protagonist wore a red dress (it looked like a traditional chinese dress) and had looped braids as her hairstyle. She also had a sword. As far as I remember (for I was very very young) the whole game was in japanese. I could be wrong, though. I am brazilian, so I couldn't know english being that young... might've been any language. o_O

Anyway, I've been looking for it the whole day and couldn't find a trace of it! :(

Any ideas?

Okay, so the 2 I found for myself were flashback, thanks to yahtzee, and shadowrun. Now, there is one in my head for I believe the genisis. It was called pagesus or something. It was a top down "shooter" from what I remember. Another is a mickey mouse game. That's all I remember about the mickey mouse one.

Bonus, there was a third, I only know a single scene from it involving a water fall on the SNES. Graphics were roughly same as crhono trigger since for a long time I thought it was chrono trigger.

Ultra bonus. Around 95 I believe was a game where you could build contraptions. A light shined through a magnifying glass would burn a rope dropping a weight on a lever opening a door to let a cat out to chase a mouse. It was things like that. I only ever played free build and would make things like bowling balls falling on some guys head as he walked to his house.
