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

[Chris Chance]

Hello all,

I'm not sure if someone has described this game before or not, but I've been searching for it for a very long time. I remember a game in the mid-to-late 90's or maybe early 2000's that I played on a PC. It involved using the six simple machines to solve puzzles. I also remember building different flight vehicles (plane, blimp, etc.) in order to race against some guy. If you didn't have good parts, you would lose to him in the races. I'm not totally sure about everything I've said but I definitely remember racing in different vehicles and you had to find parts to build those vehicles. Anything anyone would have would be greatly appreciated!!!

It's likely one of the Super Solvers games, specifically Gizmos & Gadgets.

Thank you so much!! This is definitely the game I was thinking of!

When I was a kid I used to play a game on the computer (windows) and you mixed and matched animals, it?s not impossible creatures but that name sounds familiar. I remember mixing a lobster and stuff. This was back in the early-ish 90s if that helps. I wish I remembered more but that's all I have.

is it really not impossible creatures? It sounds exactly like it http://www.microsoft.com/games/impossiblecreatures/

The graphics were much less 3d then that game and I remember playing it in the 90s

Ah I see, the only other game like this I can think of is Genewars (1996), so that would be my best/final guess then

It wasn't a RTS or anything like that, literally the only thing you did was make mix and match animals.

I'm looking for a really old game, probably Windows 3.1, might be DOS, or Windows 95... It's a puzzle game where you piece together classical pieces using steppings stones in a large pond. I could've sworn it was just called Stepping Stones, but no matter how hard I search I can't find it! It starts out simple with just a few stones, but in later levels you have to piece together several dousen stones! It was so challenging and satisfying to hear the music come together~

Okay my boyfriend is driving me nuts trying to find a game, can someone please help me find it? We would love o play it together. So I don't have much to go on but here is what I have.
An streaming online computer game with disc shaped checkers robot pieces that could be upgraded with weapons and stuff. But it played more like a chess strategy game. It is also a multiplayer game.

I think it could be Mixed Genetics and the game can be found in the Microsoft Entertainment Pack: The Puzzle Collection

One game in particular I'm trying to find right now, and it goes like this:

You are (I assume) an investigator sleuthing around a mansion on an island(?) to find out if the owner of the mansion's death really was caused by a naturally occurred heart attack. I think it is an island because the reason why you cannot leave is because there is an intense storm going on preventing you from leaving. In this mansion there are a set of characters and there is a killer, or at least an unknown force, that is murdering the characters one by one. Each time someone dies an eerie sound (later identified the source as a recording from a hidden phonograph) is played. A major plot point involves the discovery of a small garden where one plant's sign is oddly missing. Oh, and some of the story is told from what looks like either a book or a newspaper-style view, so there is some reading between sections of the game.
I think it's mostly dialogue, and I imagine that's because it's a detective game.

I can give more information, but what was given is pretty much the major/ easily identified parts.

2 - This one is an Action Game. The Arcade it self had a Huge Machine Gun. You played the game inside a Helicopter shooting at the Enemys on the ground. It is really like Time Crisis but you dont need to hide cuz you had a freaking huge Machine Gun in a HELICOPTER. Hahaha yes it was an awesome game but i really dont have any clue about the name.

That one sounds like Gunblade?

This game has been bugging me for a long time, hope that someone knows this.

This game was on a demo cd that probably came with some magazine, I believe the year was around 1998. It was a 3d third person adventure game, and the demo level was on some kind of island with a beach and a volcano or a mountain in the middle. The player was maybe a friendly looking alien boy or something? There were piggies on the beach strolling around, and if you jumped on them, they would first cry, and then rush at you angry. There were rockets about the size of big fireworks that you could get and fly with them for a short while, from one rock in the water to another, collecting coins or stars or something from the air. If you fell to the water too far from the shore, a big fish would eat you. There was also a big space ship on the island, I think you had to get on that to progress? When the demo level was done, it showed images from the full game, and some later levels were in a space ship. The game was colorful and graphics cartoony. I somehow associate a star with the game, maybe it was in the game's name or desktop icon or both?

I am looking for an old playstation one game I used to love playing. It had only one disc. You controlled mech's and tons of characters on grid based maps and you got to blow up just about everything. Most of the story takes place in Japan. During your downtime between missions you could access the internet, buy stuff from the online shop for items during battles or to upgrade your mechs, or even re-do battles you already done. The screen on it was in a block like fashion like a roleplaying game would have. You would always get to see a picture of the person's face while they were talking as well. Their mouth's moved while they talked for a bit but I don't believe there was any sound. It's been racking my brain to try and find out what this game is called. I remember the cover having mostly brown colored and showing one mech on the front which is the mech you start out with from the main character. You start out in a Japan test facility for the military and eventually the storyline leads you all over the place as the main character is looking for his sister, and story progresses from there. Any help would be awesome. Thanks.

Trying to remember a Psx game where you woke up and you are threatened by a lizard with a gun, but a man kills the lizard and tells you you need to escape or something. Also another game I played in the arcade was a bloody third person shooter arcade game and it had two joysticks.

 

[Ejauregui]

I can't remember! There's a game I played that had a man as the character, and I think he was abducted by aliens and trying to make his way back to earth. He is in his pyjamas, and you can click on things to try and find clues. That's all I remember.. But I want to know the name!?

I'm looking for a 80's stand you arcade game. Scrolled from bottom to top. You were driving through a city, road warriorish with a shooting car. If your car was damaged you could jump out had to survive on foot a few minutes to get a new car, enemy were little guys on foot and other vechicals. Look was rather plain did not look like road warrior just played like it, was a top down view. Thank you

it´s for the ps1 or ps2, i can´t remember, all i know you are a guy with a shield that you go through these amazing landscapes defeating monsters, you have to defeat cerberus at one point so u can get the cerberus shield, and then you go to this water temple thing and go through a portal or something, can anyone tell me the name? It´s driving me crazy not remembering it

 

[Christian Hoffmann Enevoldsen]

I'm looking for following:

PSX or Xbox game - I recall playing it around year 2004
Fighting game similar to the Mortal Kombat series (without being a MK game haha)
VERY explicit and gorey - you might lose limbs (as in both arms and a leg) and still 'fight'
I recall some/all characters to be able to fly. I think there was a female character with 'wings'
Similar to MK, one level starred meat grinders that triggered an instant death.

The game was in 3d

Thanks in advance. Cheers

*EDIT: the game is: Bio F.R.E.A.K.S. for N64*

Nope, it´s not, it has a more serious tone to it, i think the guy has a red armor and a red shield
