OK here's a challenging one, mainly because i don't remember too much detail.

I think it was on a windows 95 machine.

It was a platformer, with a blonde haired guy as the hero, and he would need to get keys to open the doors to next level. he had a gun, and the usual jump mechanics, but i remember it being really difficult. or i was crap at games at 5-7 years old - who can say?

Please help if you can!

Hi!
I used to play a game a few years ago.
It's a singleplayer 2D game and I think it has one of these three words ,,Heroes,call,fame" in it's name and it is similar to other heroes of might and magic game series.
In this game u play as a warrior and u have about 7 square moves every in-game day, the goal is to do quests buy items and defeat enemies. When u walk into other standing people you fight them with your army teleported into a little map, u can recruit other people to your army so they would help you in fights.In-game you have to protect other castles and other thing so you would get fame. And when you die you have to play from the start again. The game is pretty much pixel and old. I cant find it anywhere please help! :/
Please help if you can! :(
I don't know exactly what game you are looking for, but i'll throw a couple of suggestions here and you can say what is the most similar. Also around what year did it come out? "pretty much pixel and old" does that mean DOS game old? Also, was it a game that is just a free download or a game that you could purchase in a store?

1. One of the Disciples games? ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rRM8etZ2Ny0&t=14m5s )
2. One of the Warlords games? ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oft1nVDdEoc )
3. One of the Age Of Wonders games? ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dd2_RKhrIqA&t=15m )
4. One of the Heroes Chronicles games? ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZW41ayuvhTk&list=PL585BAE408A837506&t=7m25s )
5. Lords of Magic? ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=at1o8wFh6Bc&t=30s )
6. One of the King's Bounty games? ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6B1gPJbeGc&t=8m )
7. Hammer Of The Gods ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNXlqOz8oYg&t=7m20s )

im afraid not.

using that kind of as a point of reference though, same haircut, but a much more zoomed out perspective (you could see quite a lot of the level around you). the enemies were definitely alien like. it wasn't a side scrolling game where it moved automatically.

Okay guys I need help with two games. I played both of them when I was 4 or 5, which was the year 2000, 2001 or 2002.

So, the first game is about a boy, i remember him being an elf but it doesn't have to be true. he was riding in some kind of mine cart in a mine, and he was carrying blocks with vegetable drawings on them, and he was going left-right and climbing up brown ladders and putting those blocks in some order. there were about five columns he was climbing up. I don' remember anything else.

The second game was about something with a minotaur I think a man was running from a minotaur and hiding in a labyrinth or something. But it is not a part or a level of a game, I think the whole game consists of that. other than that, i don't remember anything.

I hope somebody knows something about these games. thanks in advance!

I really know that i got this game from free but i dont remember if its from CD or internet download. thats all I can give. :)
Thanks for Help!

Sorry but this is all I have to give from memory. Old nes game. Starts out with a house where you choose a character out of the several in there. Each with their own skill and I believe you go down into the ground to battle creatures and such. I believe there was a kid or two, a large man, all I got. It was like a family or something. Driving me nuts
Something like Legacy of the Wizard?

There are more than one game in the series I am looking for. I remember 3 games, one was a beat em up game where you had to save a girl. The characters were tiny. One was a sort of fighting/karate game. There were 4 dojos or different types of fighters to choose from. They were wearing 4 different color uniforms( red, blue green, white I believe) and there were like 5 fighters in each dojo. And the last game was some sort of challenge game, I remember the characters had to fight to knock a bell in one of the challenges, there was a race involved in another. These games all share the same characters. I remember you could pick up rocks or other objects and throw them at the enemy. Thanks for the help.
Definitely games from Kunio-kun (Nekketsu) series by Technos.
First one sounds a lot like River city Ransom.
The fighting/karate game is probably Nekketsu Kakuto Densetsu.
As for the challenge games... I think there were several, so, i guess, it's either Downtown Nekketsu Koshinkyoku: Soreyuke Daiundokai or Bikkuri Nekketsu Shinkiroku: Harukanaru Kin Medal (a.k.a Crash'n the Boys)
That's exactly what I was looking for! Thank you.

I have one more request. There's this game where your character is a small guy and you have to get through like 7 islands to beat the game with a boss at the end of each island. At the beginning of the stage you could have picked if you wanted mounts or not. I remember you could of picked from a bird( a crow perhaps) and you could fly over most the stage but there'd be more crows in the stage to stop u from just flying to the exit. I remember u had the option to start with or without a fire projectile. Other mounts i remember were 2 dinosaur-ish kind of creatures, one red and one blue and I remember them shooting fire in different ways. I also remember that u had to eat fruit(or vegetables?) in the stage to stay alive as ur life bar constantly drained. And if u ate an eggplant it slowed u. I remember one of the bosses being a crab where you constantly had to jump as there was quicksand on the floor. Thank you

Hey all, looking for a game I played in about 98-02, it was either for the SNES or PSX, it was a strategy RPG, graphics wise it was mostly like Vandal Hearts but slightly more cartoon like. I remember the first battle I think you have 5 or so members and you fight a group of Goblins (they have swords, I think, maybe not though) and eventually as you progress in the game I remember a cut scene with a woman/princess type character in a garden type area talking to someone, I think the game progressed in Stages or Scenarios? I'm not 100% sure.

I've ruled out Tactics Ogre, Ogre Battle, Vandal Hearts I&II and a few more, it's very similar to those games though, I just can't for the life of me remember the name of it. It was quite difficult too. Any help appreciated.

EDIT: It's not the Shining Force series, either, played all of them and the graphics are more 3D than I&II.

Both sound kind of like Breath of Fire 3?

Umm, hello. Can I ask something?

I once played this game, a PSX game, this game is fighting game which taken place inside a crystal or something. One of the character are using chain if I'm not mistaken. The combo is amazing, and you actually can launch the enemy outside the crystal. It's 2D I think. I think I'll be delightful if I can actually find the title name and able to playing this game again. So could you help me, please anyone?

When i was a little girl around 8 years old i would go to my aunts house and play this very old pixel game on her ancient windows computer. It was a puzzle game of sorts where you had several farm animals like horses, sheep, cows, and pigs and they'd wonder the screen aimlessly and you had a set time in which you had to fence all the animals in 1 pen. like horses in one pen, pigs in the other etc.. the fences where created by clicking and dragging your cursor across the screen.
I'm 16 currently and this was when i was 8 and it's been haunting me and the Google searches reveal no answers.
Are there any 90's kids here that can help a sister out?

i would like to know whats the name of a game in which you are a pink haired character, human most likely, and i believe its an rpg or action rpg for ps1. It starts with a 2D cutscene of the ground shattering and the pink haired character saving a bunch of chicks from a tree and jumping over the enormous crack on the ground.

I have, for years, been searching for the name of an SNES game I used to play when I was young. (Somewhere between 4 and 7 years old) It has pretty much haunted me for years. The only thing i have to go off of in identifying it is a couple of mental still images in my head.

It was a basic platformer. When I look back on it, it makes me think of Mario without coins/blocks/etc.

I vaguely remember the first level being snow-based. I seem to recall it was snowing in the game. That's about all I have on that level.

The other level I recall took place on top of a train. You'd work your way along the roof of the train, while the train was speeding.

Something else I vaguely remember, the character you played was small. I want to say he was orange (don't quote me on that) but could be wrong. I remember when you hit down, he reminded me as a bit of a bolt. The top and bottom half were both grayish.

S'about all I got on it. x.x


Thanks in advance. :3

EDIT: Also, might be worth noting, that the graphics weren't massively outstanding. They made me think of the earlier years of the SNES.

complete shot in the dark, aero the acrobat
Checked; it's not Aero the Acrobat. Thank you for the response though.

EDIT: Found the game; was Super James Pond 2 :3
