Okay. Sorry about that. No, it was a game online. About a man whom pushed stones in his way to get over holes with spikes. What kind of game what you call that btw, if nothing else comes to mind.cloroxbb said:FYI, QUOTE the people you want to see your questions, because this thread gets filled way too fast and its easy to lose track...Steve Angel said:
Honestly, the only game that comes to mind is Solstice for the NES. It had a sequel for the SNES called Equinox.

Hey guys, could you help me out? I'm looking for 3 old windows 95-98 [i think] games.
The first game is a sidescrolling shooter arrow keys to move mouse to aim and shoot and space bar to jump. You played as a robot that fired a thin beam that would change colors between red and yellow. The goal of the game was to reach the exit in ever level, which was a portal to take you to the next level. The portal was often surrounded by white icelike cubes you had to shoot and destroy so you could get to the portal. I only remember one enemy for sure, it was a giant bug in the later levels.
The second game was a top down RTS it featured a dark landscape and what i think were pools of slime. You played as aliens that remind me of the protoss in appearance. I think you could research upgrades and build new buildings[you started with a small broken base] and the goal was to wipe out the enemy[dont remember who they were]{aliens too i think} when a unit died i think it rotted and left behind a skeleton with alittle blood. Somewhere in one of the levels was hidden a truck you could use to attack the enemy.[more like a tank]
The third game was also a top down RTS I dont remember alot about it but it was on an alien world/moon and i think the goal was to collect resources and survive disasters.(only one i can remember was an eruption and the lava would rise and spread and destroy your buildings)I think it included multiple races and the landscape was often rocky/dirt and had mountains.(maybe some foliage but i dont think that was so)

Greetings,
I have forgotten a game that I had played on Windows XP or 97(can't really remember)
The game is like:
character - worm/spore (water droplet shape?) with colors
square grid - you have to fill up the square grid to occupy the territory, some square grid contains weapon and stuff
map - Mary-go-round, spiral parking lot, etc... , last mission is at space
life - you got life, if people uses shotgun shot you and die, you will respwan at the starting point
control - up, down, left, right, spacebar(to launch weapon/item)

2D side-scrolling game, had intricate level designs ranging from underground caverns to plains. You could ride animals (ostriches, if my memory serves me right), there were whistle-shaped thingies in the wall that would reduce the character size when you pass through them, which would enable you to walk under low surfaces. During (or at the end of) every level your character would go to a magician/sorcerer where you'd see a clone of your character, evolving after every level progression. There were huge clockwork bosses and whatnot.
I used to play it back in childhood on the NES but can't remember the name. It might as well be a SNES game. I'd be utterly glad if anyone could identify it.

Need help like other fellow gamers. Game i am looking for is 2D platformer, and the only thing i remember is that you shot something from your forehead, like a capsule, you could buy upgrades, and when you hold A key you shot a big arrow that would travel couple meters in front of you and then come b the other way, and you could stop it in the air if u jump on it. There were hidden chickens(i think they are chickens) that would give gold coins if u find them in levels(they were invisible). The last boss fight is on top of the building and he was jumping up and diagonally with thunder following from the sky. When you defeat him you save your girl and then she puts a bandage on your forehead. I am thankful to all the guys who try and help
The game was for sega, it was yellow cartridge game.

I can't remember the name of this game, which I could've sworn came with one of the Encarta versions. It's not MindMaze, and it may not have come with encarta, but the game was a first person 3d puzzle solver where you would hit switches and things to open doors to progress. i think you could throw fruit to acheive your goal as well, it mightve been apples or tomatoes? I distinctly remember the cover on the jewel case of the CD had a hand holding the tomato/apple above a giant labyrinth.
That must be Outpost or Outpust 2.stormcrow188 said:
Well, the one i know that fits this description entirely wasn't for sega but for the NES. It's called Mitsume ga Tooru, or it was sometimes known as 3 eyes boy...Covpa Primarius said:

SNES
Simple 3D (perhaps isometric like Super Mario RPG, but I can't remember)
Either an RPG or an adventure game
Had a level where you were in a mine or something similar and you suffocated or died somehow if you were there too long (this is the only major thing I remember about it)

OK I'm not exactly what I played it on which maybe makes it more difficult. Possibly PS1. You started in a prison surrounded by guards and the only other thing I can remember is that the main character had long hair in a pony tail and was wearing a blue kimono, which makes me think it may have been made in Japan.

Man i don't know how to thank you, you were right. Thank you so much z3tzilla
Ok. This was a PS1 game. All I remember is playing when I was very young. It was an RPG I think. I think there was a mist that made people bad or something. Doesn't really make sense lol. And I remember the main character was a boy. I think there was a friend that was a girl in the beginning and something happens to the mom... again I was really young so I might be VERY wrong haha. And I think it has to do with a tree... I think. Any idea what it could be? I also remember a temple I think. Please help me remember this game. I used to rent it all the time and want to do the memory justice with a name!
Hey all. Im desperately searching for a PC game I played when I was really young, probably in the early 90s.
You began the game looking similar to a blue exclamation mark with little feet on the top of a mountain, which you then proceed to slide down on something that looks like a frisbee through icy caverns. You end up at the bottom with a cabin up a hill which your character can't reach as he keeps slipping on the ice. You go onward into a grassy area where Carrot enemies bop out of the ground with angry teeth, go too close and you get eaten and stay too long and they hop toward you. I dont remember a huge amount more, only that there was another house there that you could get in...something there to do with firey furnesses....
I know it's not very much information, but any sort of lead would be so appreciated. Thanks.

Hello!
I am trying to remember a PC game from the later 90s. (95-99) It was a top down, third person perspective game where you explored a castle trying to sneak past guards like a maze. Sadly, that's about all I remember of the game and it's not much to go on. If anybody could be of help I would appreciate it!

Hi all,
Trying to recall a game, I think 90s. Side scroller. Decent graphics. I think it was an early PC game, but possibly Commodore (c64 or Amiga). You were running around buildings with a sub machine gun. Terrorist-type guys would jump out and yell something like, "YAH ME DAAAAAAAAAAA" and start firing at you. You couldn't see the bullets and it was one of the first more realistic "gun games" I remember because of that fact.

I've been trying to find this game for YEARS...
I remember that I ran it on windows 98 and found a copy for psone.
It was a 3d tank battle game where you would spawn in a grid like arena and travel around the map looking for other tanks to destroy. I remember very simple polygons and like I said a 'grid like arena.'
Also, when you would spawn, an announcer like voice would say something like, "Entering Arena..." Gah-lee I wish I could find out what this game was.

Hi,
I hope someone knows that name of this game I played on Windows 98.
I think it was a 2D isometric Mars colony simulation game/Simcity on Mars between 1998 and 2002.
When the game starts, you are located on a colony ship above Mars and there is a menu prompting you to launch/eject the escape/colony pods. If you launch too soon, the pods will fire retroburners too soon and crash, and if you launch too late, the pods fire retroburners too late and crash or the ship in space explodes/runs out of oxygen.
The pods looked like this, but in top down isometric view: http://www.chthulhu.com/models/hab/100_0652a.jpg
If you were launched the pods at the right moment, all 4 pods survive landing, otherwise 1 or more would crash and leave a tile of rubble.
I think the in-game GUI and terrain looked similar to Life on Mars?: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vajYpGgv3qM
However, the buildings were different.
To begin building, you would have to build a corridor from one of the pods. The corridors looked like this the + shaped buildings in Moonbase: http://www.emuparadise.me/GameBase%20Amiga/Screenshots/M/Moonbase_-_Lunar_Colony_Simulator_1.png
or the x shaped buildings in Outpost: http://s.uvlist.net/l/y2011/11/89809.jpg
The buildings must be constructed next to a corridor or another building similar to Moonbase and Outpost.
I think the greenhouse sprites looked like this: http://www.outofthecradle.net/WordPress/wp-content/uploads/pole_colony.jpg
or this: http://www.creativecrash.com/system/photos/000/095/261/95261/big/greenhouse3.jpg?1275254426
There were other buildings, but I can't remember what they looked like. All the buildings had the same sized footprint (occupied a tile) and all the tiles were the same size.
I think in the game, you could also build rovers that looked like this: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3a/Sojourner_on_Mars_PIA01122.jpg/220px-Sojourner_on_Mars_PIA01122.jpg
The rovers were built from the pods and you used them to explore the planet. I think there was a day/night cycle, so that the rovers could only move during the day.
The game might also have been single player turn-based.
I'm sorry I don't remember much more.
