hi theres a game im looking for and its from the pre 2000's era. its a 3rd person perspective of a hellicopter where you fly round and destroy enemy bases. sometimes you get to play as a tank or jeep type of vehicle and has different weapon pick ups for each. the soundtrack is a really heavy fast paced electronic tune. it is very similar to the game hellcopter but is not it. thanks its been racking my brainfor a while now!! oh ps it was for pc/dos

Hello! So I've been searching all over for a game I played once when I was really young, but I have yet to find anything that seems like the exact game I'm thinking of.

Here's what I remember. This game was for the PC, and I remember that in the game you start off as a couple of people looking for a place to settle. You can only see the land you've explored, while everything else is black, kinda like in Civilization. Once you find a good place, you then have to go out and search for food by either collecting berries and stuff or hunting wild animals. You also have to collect wood (I think?) to start building houses and other buildings. After a while you get other people to join your little village, and as time goes on you start to learn better technologies, like farming, building stone structures, better weapons, ect. You also have to protect your place from enemies that can try to evade as well.

The closest games that I could find were Age of Empires and Empire Earth, but neither of these look like what I was thinking of. Any ideas on what this could be?

Heart of Darkness for windows/playstation.
Thank you! It was driving me nuts over the last couple of days.

Now I just need to find out what that last one was. Although, a very vague description wont get me anywhere.

Pleeeease someone help me with this game, it's killng me not to remember its name.
It is a PC Racing game that I used to play about 10 years ago. The player was a cop car, and there were lots of other cars, like a jeep and a yellow bus, but as i had the trial version, only the cop car and the first track were unlocked.
I remember that in the first track you had to jump over a broken bridge, and sometimes it starts to rain and thunder.
Other thing that I remember is that you had a turbo boost in shape of a lightning, and when u use it, the car siren rings.
I'm pretty sure at the end of the track there was a farm tractor that u had to avoid.
So if someone has a clue on that i would be veeery gratefull. Thanks

The Settlers? (other close contenders could be Rise Of Nations or maybe even ANNO 1602, the description doesn't match entirely but hey we never know)

I actually finally figured it out. Turns out I major derped and thought that Age of Empires wasn't it, but after looking at more let's plays and stuff it turns out that it actually was it. Oops. XD

The Anno games looks super neat though! I'll defiantly have to check that out. :D

It was a lego game...it was on the GBA, and it was set in a movie studio...there was also a 3D hot wheels game for the PC, set outdoors, with several different cars, several different outdoor tracks, and a track editor mode.

Eh, I too have a game I can't remember for the life of me. It is a ps1 game and its something similar to gradius, and no it's wont be darrius because the boss I remember is way bigger. Well I will try and describe what I remember the best I can. So I remember one level where its like your underwater and somewhere in level, I believe half way point?, You see a angler fish like boss "swim" through the background and after going through more of the level you fight it later in level. The size of the boss is the entire right side of the screen and your a tiny ship shooting at it. I believe the boss was stage 2 or 3 boss I can't remeber exactly but I use to play that game to death. If anyone knows the name of the game then I would so want to know so I can find the game again and play it. :p

Alright got a tough one,
PC game most likely on windows 95 or 98. Very cartoony kind of reminds me of home movies from adult swim. The bases from what I remember is that you play as a girl with red hair and help out her family. Its education and point and click based and came out late 1990s early 2000. The girl has a large family, like in each room there is a family member. They are a bit off but very intelligent. There is a kitchen where you learn the units of measurement( how many pints are in a quart and so on) I think the goal has something to do with pizza because the last thing you had to do was cut a pizza using fractions so that everyone could have a slice. It opens with the girl in the foyer or living room and her parents tell her to go find her crazy grandma. The other mis. info I can remember is something about the little brothers room which is full of monitors, there was a room where you had to enter a tv or maybe it was a picture?, there was some sort of song room with a duck that sang "watch my foot stupid. whatre you trying to do kill me?" (odd yes)Also I think the title of the game is the girls name or maybe the familys name. And for some reason I think it starts with an F like Fenton or Fently Franny..something like that. So if you guys could help me out that would be super.

Ok so the game I'm trying to find is either a windows 95 or 98 game. I remember you had to type a code into a DOS like screen to get it to run, it was a really crappy 3D animated game and the background was always black. The characters were a brother and a sister and they were little round things and their hands and feet float and weren't attached. Their house had a face and at the beginning of the game it flies them to space and at the end it flies back. I faintly remember a pirate ship in space and some red? pirate type enemies. That's as much as I can remember other than the version of the game I had came with a little cardboard frame to put around your computer monitor. Any help would be appreciated, sorry for the spurty details.

Hi All,
I joined escapist just to ask this question:
I used to play a very old game in which there were lots of monkeys and a scientist who used wheel chair. It was to be played by switch soul from one monkey to another or to the scientist.
And we had to take the scientist through all the levels with monkeys help.

There were chickens which we used to fill some water sinks or throw at monkeys or to venus trap plants.


Please please lemme know.

Thanks.

as a kid in 1998, i had a pc game called trains or so. it had these russian 1930 era trains docked at this metro, and there were 3 of them. the one cutscene i remember most was this child, and this one sound kept playing and his eyes changed or something i cant remember but this game sure was creepy.

another game i remember was this game with pharaohs tomb. at the time i had a fear of being trapped in egyptian tombs, and developed a small fear of bats. my explorer started going down the steps to the tomb. he took a hidden door on the stairs to his left, which led to a blueish cave with stalactites hanging over. bats swarm down and knock him to his feet and he screams HElp HELP HELP and he lies dead. a ring of red developing under his crumpled body and the bats return to their ceiling. the screen blanks and a dark chiseled face of the pharaoh looks down on you from the shadows with some "you are dead" music.

these were the two games i erased from my memory as a child. i'd be gratful to know what they are so i can go back and someday scare my child too.

I remember playing a game that was on either the ps1 or n64. You played as a blue soldier and you were helping these animals. The animals had some type of shaman. He had a medicine staff too. There were also these red houses I think. One mission was on a flying island with bridges connecting them. Im sorry for the small amount of info but I played it when I was like 4.

Hi guys,I try to remember a very old game. I used to play on Mac way back in early 2000s, and I'm not sure there ever was a PC version. so there was a troll, and he would go from level to level throwing cats and dogs off the boards, and at the end of each level block this troll had to fight a big fat rat. i rememeber there was a mud level where troll would move very quickly, kinda sliding. and there was a sea level where troll would move very slowly.

oh, and you could also choose to play two trolls.

any guesses?
