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

[tuxtrooper]

Can someone please help me out?

I remember a 2d game where you have to fight off black robot like enemies, or mechanical enemies, and you were a small warrior that fought along side more of your NPC comrades to try and kill the enemies. The distinct thing I remember is that the color scheme was black and orange. I think the enemies and allies were black with some orange, and the background was orange.

Please help! The fact that I can't remember is killing me softly.

here are two rather incomplete memories that have been bugging me for a while now (i think they would have been on an old DOS).

one was some sort of science-oriented game that involved things like circuit-building and combining floodlights of different colored lights and possibly something to do with velocity - i vaguely remember a family of green guys (and one girl) in lab coats guiding the player through, one for each area. (i also vaguely remember it having a big yellow lightning bolt on the cover?)

the other one's even more vague - i remember there being a level to do with measurements that was set in the greek olympic games, and a level to do with logic that was set in the pharaoh khufu's pyramid (which used to freak me out, because getting out of the pyramid alive was contingent on answering the riddles before the time ran out).

if anyone knows what the heck these things are, i'd appreciate the tip!

1. Arkanoid or any variation on that game

2. Asteroids. I do remember there being like an Asteriods remake and that's probably the one you are looking for.

thanks for trying but it wasn't either of them, or DX BALL The Dahaka turns out there's a crap load of breakout games,and asteroid games.



#1 was a breakout game in or before 2000 and one of the powers turned your ball just plain red making it penetrate through the bricks (not blaster ball) instead of bouncing off, and level four i distinctly remember being a regular rectangle of multicolored bricks with a pitch black back round.

#2 wasn't asteroids either although it sort of resembled blasteroids a sequel to asteroids, this game was much weirder with the same setting and concept, the aliens played a big part in levels later on although i cant remember what they looked like except for a blue one maybe that resembled a manta ray also i don't remember fighting enemy spaceships...................... ugh if only it was asteroids this is killing me.

There was a game back in the Windows' 95 glory days with a red car, where you were driving on a road next to the beach. On the sides there were palms(obviously) and sometimes restaurants ( diner). It had more levels, and I remember that one was on a green field and it had a lot of windmills on the side. If you press space you can get other cars on the street ( There were yellow VW Beetle lookalikes , trucks and others). There was a girl with you in the car. If you'd have crashed the car, it would roll over and the girl (blonde) would get angry. Can you helpp me find it?

Definitely sounds like Outrun, that was a great racing game.

Hi people. I'm looking for two games.
The first I think was on PlayStation 1. You played a young guy with black hair in an exaggerated quiff and you had a sort of electric whip you used to grab green robot enemies and slam them back and forth on the ground until they broke. or to throw them into a spiky mangle. You had to free little green things from captivity I think. There was also a level where you are free falling down a ventilation shaft and you had to throw enemy robots that were falling with you into the walls (also while avoiding fan blades) and after each kill he shouted first "you momma!" then "Yo grand mommas momma!". Only a short title I think it may have been a number, made into the logo. My mind wants to say something like '9' or '7'

Any Ideas?

The second is a 2D Tank Battle game that I played on an Acorn Computer. You chose your weapon from a small selection of weapons that could build or destroy terrain and damage vehicles. I think it was called 'Holocaust' or something but searching for tank games with that name on Google doesn't yield the right results.

Definitely Wild 9 for that first one.

I'm trying to remember this game from the 90s. An isometric high-quality sprite based game in which you play as a warrior or a knight type character.
I only ever played the demo for it, but in the demo you start off training in an arena with another group of knights, and after you go to your room where a girl is waiting.
You have a conversation with her about how women, or guests perhaps, are forbidden I the barracks.
Some stuff happens after that, and you end up having to leave the place to go on an epic adventure, and that's where the demo ends.

If I remember correctly, the color red plays a large part in the knights outfitting.

 

[Hopper9]

I need to remember a VERY old game:

Your character is a living Skeleton wearing purple medieval cloths and wielding a giant sword.
Obviously you are the bad guy and you must kill all the humans to win a level.
The action was top-down and you turn around your character trying to kill them with your sword.
If the enemies manage to kill you, your skeleton before die he screaming while bleeding in the same time until his body disappear completely.

Medievil. Definitely Medievil

Hopefully someone can help me with this one.
I used to watch my dad play a game 10+ years ago (no idea weather Gaming System or PC). You would start out in a space ship and fly from left to right on the screen (2D) and shoot things until you got to a, if i'm correct, space station. You would then get to play as a human. You would have to run all the way through the 'space station', set a bomb, or maybe just shot something, and have to get out before it exploded! I believe there was a count down timer. That's all I remember

SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!!!

Sounds like Air Fortress for the NES.

hey guys.. i saw this post by random and thought " why dont ask around ". Im searching since several years for a specific game , its an RTS (seems tobe very little known) and i just cant find it whatever i do... i remember playing it on my old windows 95 computer with 400 mhz together with thief 1 etc. . It was a bit smiliar to starcraft , but with 4 factions, some insect thingies, robotic ones and two others,sadly cant remember them... they were good in different things like trading, military etc. asmuch as i remember.... . There were different terrains, mars like, dark and such a blueish icky stuff in one level with vulcanos on two sides i think? ( might be wrong though). Asmuch as i remember there was the possibilitie to trade with other players too using a special unit (most likely some car-tank unit thingieand i think a trading post...). You could build a base and units and stuff ( who would have thought lol). The choosing screen for a race was split into 4 pieces with every race being on one side of the screen. I think there was somekind of prophet race aswell im not sure... If any1 can tellme what game this was that really would make my day... it aint dune 3 or stuff ive already checked all of them ( they arent actually smiliar, but the graphics should be around the same time... might be wrong, or smiliarish to starcraft).

-Bump-

Try looking up M.A.X. Stands for Mechanized Assault and Exploration. Sounds like what you're after.

Hello I want to learn a game name on ps1 the characther was wearing Injun clothes and using dagger but game was made by Japan i think. Combat style wast typical rpg combat and i just remember one monster from that game , its a woodman or a puppet i think when you start combat with it , it turns a monster like a wolf but got a rhino horn. Thats all i remember from game if you could give me name of the I would be happy because I missing that game sometimes. But I can't remember because I was very young.

There is no any news? Please its important for me.

Wild Arms maybe?

 

[Hopper9]

I played a 2D game on the macintosh where you run up ladders and try to collect gold or something, and you can dig. It's been so long since I played it so I can't remember the details very well. I think it may be called runner or something.

Another game that I've played is a flying fighter type of game for the PC, it's pretty old. When you start the game there is light voice that shouts "OKAY" before the game begins. You are a fighting plane and are supposed to shoot down enemy planes, it is a 2D game with the illusion of 3D, it looks like you're moving forward but you are not watching from above. When you take down enemy planes you get supplies or something, better weapons maybe. Then there is friendly planes that drop health and stuff, if you take them down you get penalized in a way that I can't remember, lose points maybe. Another significant thing is the song that is played while played, it's a really good guitar riff but I don't know the name of the song. The only thing that I now is that the riff is the only good part of the song.

Does anyone know the names of these games?

The first one is Lode Runner, without a doubt. Can't help with the second one.

Hi, there

I can't remember the name of the following PC game.
I've played it in the 90s (only its demo from a magazine CD)

(the intro) It's about a young boy (blond) in school. It is in class and for some reason
the teacher punishes him by locking him in a closet. In the meantime something bad happens.
- the sky turns black, the light disappears and everybody starts screaming and running.

It seems like the darkness was eating everybody.
Your hero gets out of the closet and game starts

You must survive in a 2D game. Each screen is something like a puzzle where you must
understand how to escape the Dark enemy, and then you continue to the right where is a next screen/puzzle.

I am almost sure that there is "Darkness" in the name of the game.

I hope someone remembers it.
Thanks

Nope, I know this game and it isn't this one.
It was an old DOS game that you were an EVIl skeleton.
Also the view was from the top.

Maybe "Nox" or "Blood Omen 1" ?

 

[TArse]

I really hope someone can help me out, I doubt it, but I can hope.

The game I'm thinking of was a Japanese demo on a American game. I have absolutely no memory of the actual game. But the demo was kinda like spinning tops that you could battle. That's all I can remember.

-American game with hidden demo of a Japanese game (demo was 100% in Japanese)
-Japanese game was battling spinning tops.


If anyone can help I'd be more that grateful.

Edit: IT IS A PLAYSTION 1 game

 

[White Wizard]

Require some assistance please, figuring out an old PC Game, memory isn't getting any better with age.

I would have played it in the late nineties or early 2000's on what may have been Win 95. What I can remember is;

RTS, with GFX on par with the original C&C RA and maybe just a bit behind the first cossacks (maybe)and similar game play, build a base, build units etc..

Resources were Stone, Pumpkins type food and Scrap and this was generally littered all over the map and you had to send peasants to collect. I can barely remember this game, other than pumpkins were in it.

edit:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronology_of_real-time_strategy_video_games

Identified it as Rising Lands.

[Katmat]

Anyone know this game?
I was playing it in year 2000. I got an cd with some sample games on it.

The things I remember about the game:
* The game was a "climb/jump to the top, style" game.

- You were a "green man", with a pistol which shot "pink bullets"
- There where monsters you would have to kill on the way to the top.
- The setting where in a jungle.
- The game started under the ground, (below the jungle?)

Kinda like the game Blackthorne (graphically)
http://www.classicdosgames.com/images/screenshots/vga2/Blackthorne.png

Can anyone help me find out wich game this is?

Thank you!

 

[almiovic]

there's an old pc game i remember ("game" might be a loose term) that involved making pathways for various colored dots to follow around the screen; there were different background screens and various choices of music (i remember one of them being grieg's "in the hall of the mountain king"), and a level or two where instead of colored dots, the shapes you created pathways for were a ballerina and a police-car chase. i would LOVE to be able to remember what this thing was.
