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

[ed603em]

Hi - I am trying to find a game that I played around the late 1990s / early 2000s. It was a Dungeons & Dragons style game where you had to control four characters. You did battles mainly in dungeons and when one of the characters died you could collect their remains until you had the correct potion needed to bring them back to life. When all four characters died, the game was over.

The game was mainly played in dungeons, however you could wander round the countryside and fight random groups of bad guys. The groups of bad guys were graded by how challenging they were with the most difficult ones being represented by a skull.

I can't remember too much else ... if anyone can remember the name please do let me know!

Thanks!

 

[First Encounter Assault Recon]

I remember it was a gameplay trailer, or more it felt like a technological demo, showing off an engine without any HUD (ammo, health etc). I think I saw it between years 2006-2007. It was a First Person Shooter set in some sandy town which felt like Egypt, Turkey or Iraq, the place where it was happening looked like this - http://bit.ly/1btublC ... you know this kind of a building structure, I also remember that there was a little sandstorm going through that place, enemies were all over the place - on roofs, on balconies, in alleys, enemies were also wearing this on head - http://bit.ly/1d1D1xO ... person which you controlled could lean over objects, was holding and shooting from a weapon which looked like FN-FAL - http://bit.ly/1cvMngh or HK21 - http://bit.ly/1hL3YaZ ... at least I think, and in a background was playing some kind of an orchestral Arabian/Turkish felt-like music. I don't even know if that game was released or cancelled, or if it was just some kind of a technological demo, and I also don't know for what platforms it was made for. Can't remember more.

I won't give up posting 'til someone knows a name of this game.

COME. ON. ALREADY!

Hey everyone. Looking for a name of an old game. It was a spaceship looking sim with time travel as its main theme. You had to refuel it on gas giant planets. As well you needed 4 parts from different civilizations. What you did is you seeded 4 or 3 dont remeber different kinds of life on different planets. Deserts, Aquatic and something else. And then traveled in time. You can see the timeline on the civilizations you planted and see them invent something or crysis. After that you could go back or forward in time and talk somone on the planet who thought you were some kind of god (i guess it was your priest). So you had to solve some crysis or even sometime take some inventions out of civilization so it wont destruct itself. After some time you civilizaion grew enoug smart to make some part that you actualy could install to your spaceship and I guess fix it eventiualy (never finished that game).

Sorry, just found it.

How close to Soldier of Fortune: Payback are we talking?


The only other games I can think of are the Conflict games, Desert Storm and Denied Ops. But there could be hundreds with a deserty/Middle Easty level made between 2003-2008. It's like asking for a WWII shooter from 1999. Or a side-scrolling platformer with a cute character on the SNES. There were, like, over 9000 at that point.

Tech demos rarely end up being anything like the games you see, so there's a good chance the demo you saw never made it to a final game, or if it did it would be unrecognisable. Seeing as nearly every FPS in 2006 put a sandy-brown filter over everything, there could be dozens of trailers that never saw the light of day. Unless you played a finished released version of something, I don't think you'll ever find it.

Hi guys around 2000-2003 I've played a small top-down perspective game where you play as a fox goes around, grabs eggs and go to the finish. There're multiple characters (the fox) to choose, and one of them is "Lulu". It has checkpoint on the way indicate by a checkerboard flag and when you step on it, the character will say "Checkpoint!" (I don't know if I remember exactly about the flag).
That's all the things I can pull from my memory. Thanks

The game is called Varmintz. It's a bunch of racoons collecting eggs. Lulu is one of the playable chracters.

And also, sorry for the double post, but I could REALLY use your help, guys.

There was a game on Sega Mega Drive; a horizontal space shmup with anime-like sprites. You played a boy who flies a fighter jet, the first level is in the day sky above the city, and one of the enemies that I can remember are these metal crocodile-like heads that came snapping at you. It was also possible to play it as a co-op game, and it sure as heck was difficult.
The second level was in some space station you board, but seeing how I played the game as a kid, I couldn't get past that one.

So please, if anyone has even a remote idea, I would be extremely grateful <3

I have one that is driving me crazy. It is a PC game from many many years ago. it is a RPG game where you play as a creatable character that if i remember correctly is a prisoner that is charged with saving a princess that was kidnapped by a troll or ogre and taken to an underground dungeon. I remember that you could create spells with runes and had to manage your inventory and scrounge for weapons, armor, and food. If it helps i remember that the game came out around the same time that the wing commander for PC back in the 90's

I have been trying to find a game I played as a kid on a family friends 386 pc. It was developed by Sierra and I played it around 1992-94? You played a ship pilot like a space pirate who would travel the galaxy like a simulation meets and RPG. It isn't space quest. I have been trying to find the name of this game for years, I want this monkey off my back! lol

Did it look like this? ( http://www.unseen64.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/tr-military-shooter-02.jpg )

If so it's a tech demo that Terminal Reality did, (it later became Ghostbusters, so the game doesn't exist)

I don't have a name for the project, so i can't find the actual teaser/trailer.

I've been trying to remember the name of this game for a while now and I can't for the life of me remember. It's a computer game I played as a kid in the 90s when I had dial up and a box computer. In the game there is a girl with purple hair and a boy with blue hair and I believe they're from outer space. You can play mini games such as egg drop aka mancala. And in one of the parts it's sings songs such as Yankee Doodle and shew fly, it also has where you play a math game in it. If anyone knows I'd appreciate it greatly thank you.

I don't have much to go on, but it's an SNES adventure game. Zelda-esque movement and screen transitions. The first area was a forest area with some warthogs running around trying to hit you (they were the first area enemies), but there was a spot I couldn't get past. There was a purple gem in a cave or behind a waterfall near a river that I couldn't access and a sleeping warthog blocking my path. My memory is very vague on this one but I've never been able to remember the name of the game and since my parents kept every single video game they ever purchased (they are gamers as well), this must have been a rental.

OK...I am guessing I will come up short on this one, but I am looking for a very early (maybe 1984 or so) PC game. It had an ASCII "map" with * (I think) showing unexplored territory on an island of some sort. Your guy was the standard 80s smiley guy. You would move in one of 8 directions, assuming the adjacent spot on the island was OK to move on. Some had trees on them or something. Quite often, you would encounter a different mythical creature. (all in text) I remember there was a Minotaur and I think maybe a Cyclops, but I don't remember others.

When you encountered one, the game would give you a hint of how much your your phaser to use to kill it. The key is, you had a limited number of phaser units, and you almost definitely couldn't kill all the enemies you would encounter if you just used what they told you. So you had to decide just how much under you wanted to go and risk not killing it.

I think the key to the game was to collect treasures and get off the island. If I recall, you got off the island by coming up to a bird and carried you off. This was also randomly placed and I think sometimes didn't exist at all. Sometimes you encountered it too soon and you escaped with a really low score.

The game could have either island or escape in the title. Maybe even both. But I have gone to as many 80s computer game/abandonware sites or just FTP sites with whatever people found on old disks and decided to upload...every one I can find checking every game with either of those words and none of them are it.

Could be Aero Blaster or Whip Rush:


Arrow Flash was very anime in design, but not quite like the game you describe. There were over 50 shmups on the MegaDrive, (with Thunder Force II|III|IV, Sol-Deace, and Zero Wing being the most popular) - it's probably in this list here:

[Planeforger]

Hey guys. I am struggling to find a game, but I guess that is why most people are here.

The details that I can remember are...

"There was this old game, probably around 1997-2005 that I played was on windows. All I can remember was it had 2 stages, a platformer-like stage that was mainly used. The board screen was used to move something around, I cannot remember specifically what. There was many doors all over the screen, either linked to each other, or linked to the flip side of the wall. On top of that, you walked around and could use magnets to stop robots from advancing. I cannot remember if it was educational, or just a kids game."

Thanks to whoever remembers it!

That sounds like Gizmos and Gadgets.
