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

[z3tzilla]

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)

That must be Outpost or Outpust 2.

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.

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...

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.

Sounds like Little Big Adventure.

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 pelt as ?armor? it was an overhead view, not a side scroller. thats all i remember

Anyone have any ideas? i have been looking for this game forever, and i know the information i have is really vague. I think that end game you could get or buy a gold sword. also something about a secret key that you had to buy online that opened a boulder that allowed access to a different part of the map...

anyone? anyone? bueller?....

I also remember a little bit about the battle system. I remember something about random battles, you couldnt see the animals on screen. there was no battle animation, just a 'card' of the animal with a picture and stats side by side with your picture and stats. And you had some options of what to do...i think it was just fight or run...

I have been searching for this game for years! any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

[Krystine Sattler]

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!

 

[Megan Pickard]

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!

 

[caffine]

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.

 

[amylou]

ok so this is driving me crazy cos i cant remember many details about the game. it was a pc game in the late 90's, the only thing i can really remember is the ending where you are a baby dinosaur but you can power up and morph into a robot dinosaur when you are fighting. And the fight takes place in like a dinosaur teddy factory??

Thanks! Outpost 2 was the one.

Some old christmas 2D game I played with my brother.
One red and one blue round furry little creature fighting eachother on different snowy landscapes. They had santa hats aswell, I think.
Both persons using the same keyboard, but different sides you know..
When they died, they made a funny noise, like 'ujujujujujuj'...
This was played on a windows 98, or 95.

 

[zexon11]

It's an older strategy game. I remember a few details. I remember there were insects. There was a big robot. You can play skirmish games, you can change the name of computer (AI players) you are playing against. I think there was also ability to choose to play "king of the hill", something like having the longest time flag, and wining by points but I'm not sure. The game is older than 7 years, if that can help. I think that when units die, you can collect their energy, something like that. I'm sorry I can't help you anymore, but I really need this game :/

And there was a unit called illuminator, it was white and round shaped i think.

EDIT: I think there was also a big worm.

Hey, hope someone can help. So.. I'll just go straight to the point.

Futuristic, sideview platformer, action.
Played it on my Windows 98 as a kid. Might fall into the same era as BlackThorne (same type of game as well).

The game starts off with a video of someone (your character) running along a narrow dimly lit metallic corridor. The character is being shot at from behind with some or other type of laser weaponry (red beams I do believe). The protagonist runs into a docking bay, narrowly avoids a few laser shots and blindly retaliates with a weapon of his own. He finally jumps into a futuristic airship (small, possibly a one-man cruiser) and flees the facility (the 'facility' might have been a huge airship - can't remember). The.. well.. enemies give pursuit quite hastily. The background is now a vista of endless lush alien forests. The protagonist's vehicle gets shot and he crashes in a pillar of smoke.

Now the actual gameplay starts. A bit clumsy movement controls. Alien forest, some kind of robotic enemies. I don't remeber the first area that well but later in the game you manage to go into a futuristic building with a bar and a train station that transports you between map areas.

OK. The descriptions might be a bit vague but maybe someone here can piece the puzzle together. Also, I've scoured all through abandonia in search of this game, alas without success.

Well, here's to a bit of luck!

Hey all,

This is a bugger but if anyone can help me with this I'll be thankful.

So the game is a sport game, futuristic or robotic game from Playstation 2 or SNES, more like Playstation 2.

Basically, it is a soccer game with super power and the two teams from what I rememeber was red vs blue. It is a sports game (the camera angle was from the side or wide view), I remember playing this when I was around 15-19, and I am now 29 so its about 8-12 years old. Released probably in the early 21st century and the players can shoot the ball REALLY hard. It is baiscally a game of scoring goals into the opponent's net and the ball was made out of some metal and the player all dressed up in super combat gear with armor and stuff and kick (kicking was the action I think) the ball with crazy power. The thing I remember was the ball was able to bounce off the wall, as the venue was in an arena.

Please help if you remember.

Thanks.
