Hello guys

There is a game i am looking to find the name, i have very few information as its over 20 years ago but i give the detais i have.

It was a game i was playing on DOS on a 486 a bit before or around same time Windows 3.1 was release, it was a spying game like you were a secret agent, i remember the first thing when you start the game was a guy going down in a Windows washer Platform on the wall of a building and entering the building by the window, once you were Inside you had to find item in different room to go on with the game such as finding clue for a code for a door or taking a bucket and puting it over the door for when the guy enter his office, that is about all i can remember, if any of you remember this game that would be awesome!

Let's see if somebody can help me out because there's one game I still haven't found since I was a kid.

I remember playing it from these common magazine shareware CDs on my first computer, a glorious Pentium I at 120MHz lol, so I assume it was released in the late 90s (probably between 1995 and 1997 but not 100% sure).

It takes place in outer space, you are a scientific explorer or something like that but the stage I remember playing (probably not the first one on the real game) was in the stomach of an alien being, like the intestines of a giant worm or something. Then you started to walk and you had to choose between left or right but not in real action, it was more like a point and click game with rendered sequences in between choices (much like The Neverhood from Dreamworks). I remember choosing the going left and get killed by a giant centipede or similar. Oh and it was in first person perspective.

Man, it sounds pretty weird if you think about it. Hope anyone can help.

Well moment of truth time.
When i was little around 1998 odd a polish kid showed me a really interesting adventure game. It was a mixture of 1st person clicks and sequences set around a fantasy/medieval setting. I remember starting in an old stone/straw house and you are commanded by owner to do some quest. You could steal a ring at the start and if caught would immediately be killed. Following the road abit you could turn left to a swamp like area, following ahead to a dungeon with cgi skeletons + more death.
Never really got far but seemed and still does seem to be an interesting game. Spent years looking so here is hoping.

I could use help finding a game I played when I was a kid. it came as a demo for my pc from one of the magazines and it was some were between 1995 and 2002. this game was an rts set in the future with sci fi content you can build bridges, gun towers rocket towers and a power station. on top of that if done right the power station if near a tower will give the towers the ability to form a shield around the base assuming you built towers to go around your base. the recon units were from what I can remember were like armored 2 wheels fast moving vehicles. and most of the infantry units were in armored suits. when ever a unit was selected they would talk so I don't know if that would help any the graphics were similar to age of empires 2. it would be awesome if you guys could help me out I've been searcing for 5 years now and I'm now asking for help

OK, here's an old one from the 90's. You were a caveman and it was a survival type game, but the only thing I remember from the game is that you had to craft your own arrowheads by clicking on parts of a rock with an arrowhead guide traced on them. If you cut it too close to the line it broke and you had to start over

 

[Doomgriever]

Does anyone know what game this is:

Might have to change permissions (if you uploaded it), can't see it either.
If it's a screenshot of the game, you might use Google Image Searcher ( click on the camera ) ( http://www.google.com/imghp ) or use TinEye ( http://www.tineye.com/ ). And hopefully you'll find your game.

I am looking a PC game that came out in the 1990s. The game was an educational science game that included the periodic table of elements, chemistry, and various other science topics. The only other thing I can remember was the in-game helper was a nose. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I remember a flash sort of game (could be DOS).

It is a 2D game where you are a helicopter (Later airplane) and there are 2 army camps which spawns units and they are fighting against each other( sending units) in the center there are multiple bases (neutral at start) and then when the units move by they switch to the allegiance of the nearby units.

There are civilians on the map which you can pick up with your helicopter and bring back to your base to gain more money.
Objective of the game was to destroy the enemy.

you started off as a helicopter and the units were being spawned randomly later on you could choose what units to spawn and there were multiple helicopters fighting in the later levels.
there were also special powers (like airdrop units).

It was in the desert, when you are the airplane you need to either land on a airstrip or a aircraft carrier.

could someone please help me!!

I really really really need to play this game again it is haunting my mind, at night this game is all I can think about xD. sounds desperate but it's sadly true.

I couldn't finding it after searching 20 pages of google ( I guess I used the wrong keywords ).

help please!!

 

[Foxies56]

Ok so i'm back, AGAIN. this time looking for an older PC game possibly a DOS one where you are a guy or a tank I cant remember exactly, but you are standing in an open field and soldiers will start to attack you after a while big cars will start dropping off groups of soldiers. If you destroy the cars everyone in them will catch on fire and at later levels there will be tanks and air-plains attacking you as well. Anyone know what this is?

Hello Forum,

I wonder if anybody can help me with the name of an online car game i used to play. It was similar to a destruction derby style game. You had to drive around taking each other out by either bumping them off the edge or shooting them with the onboard gun, you also had to be careful that you didn't drive off the edge. You were given a number of lives and you had to make sure you took out the opponents lifes to win. If you used your gun too much it would over heat. There was a display in the corner which showed you how healthy your car was so you could try and avoid other cars. I believe you could select between two cars. I cannot remember the name of this game at all. I used to play it online around 2005. Please help me!!!!!

I came across this thread while attempting to find the name of this old game I played again. I have tried to figure it out several times before and haven't had any luck.

This was back around the 2000 era, either late 90's or early 2k. It was a 3d, third person adventure game. You fought with a sword, and one of the things I remember most is when I started up the game for the first time... I was really impressed by how awesome the water looked close to the starting area (I think... which was outdoors if I remember correctly). It was very smooth and shiny. There was also one boss (again, I think) that I encountered that I remember being like all red, or maybe like some sort of skinless, bloody monster half human kind of thing... I don't know... but I remember having the hardest time figuring out how to beat it.

I can't really remember much else about it, but for the longest time I thought the name of the game was Pool of Radiance. I even found 3 cd's labeled Pool of Radiance in my old book of cd's. I don't know if I actually wrote down the correct name on the cd's, or maybe those cd's were for a different game that I don't remember (they were burnt copies) But anyways I can't get the cd's to work, and when I search that online I just find the Pool of Radiance NES game and Ruins of Myth Drannor. It is DEFINITELY not either of these games.

This game was actual 3D third person, like Lara Croft Tomb Raider, not top down 3d like Diablo II.

Looking for an old space shooting game(2d) I play before, play it on the internet.
It was a shooting game that use WASD to control the movement.
There where two different kinds of clan,the color of the ship are red or blue(not sure).
There where different kinds of spaceship, and each of them have 20 life(maybe?) and different amount of slot for the weapon and capacity of the rock(for mining).
Way to get money: mining rock using laser, kill enemy, do mission.
Some of the weapon I remember: shield(use energy 25-30% ?), rocket(15-20 ?), hyper space jump, mine, emp, dark hole...

Hilarious, after all that searching and finally making this post, I actually found it....

It's killing me trying to remember this game!
It was an old PC game, windows 98 maybe, we had it before 2001, I know that much, as I played it in the house I used to live in, which we moved out if in 2001.
The game:
All I can really remember is picking to be either a guy or a girl, and the title screen animated into the game.
So you picked the charachter, then like walked out into this castle thing...
It was a bit like super mario bros... Sort of..
Please help me!

Greetings,

I have been searching for the name of a game that I played when I was a child. I've been searching for about five years without any luck, so hopefully someone here knows what I'm talking about.

My memory is hazy, but here's what I know and what my family members remember:

- It took place inside of some sort of castle or dungeon
- Dragons were involved
- The player needed to learn passwords in order to access certain areas and progress
- When asked for action input, the screen read, "How now, Inspector?"
- The game had you assume the role of the protagonist/inspector
- I'm not 100% on this one, but I'm pretty sure that the title splash was a big red dragon

Additionally, there was limited graphical interfacing. It played like a text adventure, but had a black background and used mostly white, red and brown tones to produce limited graphics. There was no mouse.

This game was played on a Tandy computer around 1995-1997, and required entering DOS Shell in order to be launched. If anyone knows what it might be, I'd appreciate it greatly.

Just reposting this so that it doesn't get overlooked.

When I was younger, probably in the early 2000's. Me and my sister used to play this PC game where you drove around in a car in a colourful town, and had to collect some sort of tickets, there was also driver training in the game, where you had to drive through pylons and balloons that you would hear "pop". I have been searching for the name of this game for a while, if anyone has any ideas of what it is please reply!!

 

[SERCASER1]

hi there to all of you, i used to play a puzzle game about some big blocks that one had to slide across the whole board in order to open a path to one block you had to slide from one side to another, the argument of the game was about a woman that was in some kind of "time traveling island" and she had to scape from there, i'm not sure but i think that later in the game, we (the woman) found a guy that was also lost in the island. The gameplay is all about solving those sliding-blocks boards no walking around and things like, just from one board to another, like the classic Unblock game.
I hope someone remembers this game's name.

Thanks

EDIT: By the way, the game is entirely 3D, and i played it at PC, i think it was from Reflexive Games (RIP) or some company like that but i'm not sure which one.

Thanks again
