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

[shoosta123]

I've been reading this thread looking for a particular game and had no luck finding it so here we go...

I remember playing this game in the early 2000's and have had no luck finding it anywhere. It was a PC multiplayer shooter with little guys you could customize and even make them pee and smoke cigars and other things like that. There were many types of game modes you could play such as zombies, TDM, and even jump maps. I loved playing this game as a kid and would enjoy playing it again so if this rings a bell please let me know ASAP. It was 2D and loads of fun! it seemed like there were almost no limits to the amount of custom maps and things like that.

My girlfriend is trying to remember a game she says was on the original Playstation. Apparently, there were monster type characters that had a single wheel/tire in place of their feet. The object of the game was to roll around everywhere, including the ceiling and walls, to collect CDs. She says she also remembers one of the monsters being green and having crazy looking hair. She remembers one of the levels being in a silver room. She recalls it being sidescrolling. It's possible that it was on SNES, but she says she's 85-90 percent sure it was Playstation.

Bump for answers hopefully.

Can anyone help with this?

Hi, I've been trying to find this game I played as a kid for almost a decade now.

All I can remember is:

- The game took place in a desert setting
- The enemies included bees and scorpions
- You played as some sort of upright animal wearing a solid red cap
- I played this around 2002, give or take a year or two
- I might have gotten it from RealArcade

Any help would be vastly appreciated!

I think this game was on ps1 but I've had no luck finding it so far, maybe you guys can help. It's an old flying combat game where you had a team of I think 4 pilots, including you against an opposing team of 4, the goal was to either shoot down all of the opposing team or destroy their airfield by blowing up the towers around it. You could customize your team through out the game by hiring new pilots to join your team and buying new planes, coz the 1s you started with were pretty rubbish except from memory 1 of them started with an F16 it was pretty cartoonish and incredibly fun, the whole point of the game in the long term was to win a tournement (or 2) and win the trophy with your team. I really wana find this game and it's driving me mad not being able to!!!!

Hello folks.
Never posted here, only made an account for this topic specifically.

Some 20-odd years ago I played a demo of a game that I was never able to finish and later on lost in the deep abyss that is my collection of various hard-drives.

All I remember is that this was a dos game, early-to-mid 90's, which resembled an action-adventure type game. I'm not sure if this game had free movement or grid-based movement, but I do know the scheme was a bit like System Shock (e.g. use mouse to aim and interact with the environment, click to move around etc.)

You start off in a near-pitch-black cave, some rather well made rock-wall or brick-wall type textures, with very life-like/photo-realistic sprites. This engine had textured floors and roofings, as well as different elevated sprites, so it must have been mid 90's.

You wake up next to, if I remember correctly, a well and a skeleton and possibly several torches around the room and walls, the cave wasn't just a simple square room but actually had some shape to it. There's a puzzle you need to solve here, or at least an interaction you need to perform which gives you a rifle of some description with about 3-7 shots. Next, a pack of rats attacks the player which he needs to fend off... what happens next, I can't remember. It might even have been the end of the demo.

That does sound like Stonekeep, except for few minor differences.

Ah yes, another old but gold game, but unfortunately not the one I'm looking for. Though I do recommend people to try this one out.

The game I'm reffering to does have 'modern day' weapons, or rather, I believe it might be mildly western/occult themed.

 

[Indiana Johns]

Wolfe, I'd say 99% sure that it's Fallout 2.

I'm also looking for a game, tried googling it in multiple ways, but no dice. I think I played it on a 286, but I'm not 100% positive. The game was top-down view, you had to drive a car through an obstacle course, if you hit a buoy or anything, the level failed. You had to do various tasks like backing up into a parking spot, doing some slalom, etc. Can't find anything on it.

No, it's not Atari's Hard Drivin'.

 

[enigmabrand]

I'm looking for a game. I think it was probably PS1 era. It was a turn based (or active-time-battle) RPG where you control 3 or 4 characters in your party. However, you had more characters total than would fit in your party. At some point, (possibly the final boss?), you had to control 2 parties of characters in the same turn based battle while you fought this gargantuan monster. Each group could target different spots on the enemy and you could switch between parties.

I've been looking for this for so long that I'm not even sure anymore if it ever existed.

Hi. I've been trying to remember an early 90's 2 player side scroll arcade game I used to play ay local video store. I can vaguely recall: It was kind of nature themed... You played as these guys with insect antenna who look like butterfly peapod forest people or something.. at one point your floating on leaves on a lake or something.. leaves may have been used for floating or parachuting also.. thats all I got.

On the very same machine was another game you could switch to. Also a side scroll 2 player. A Martial arts beatemup like streets of rage. The defining detail for me was the super attacks you could charge up that had a kind of exploding dragon thing.. this would involve your character making a hand clasped together, naruto jutsu kind of pose before executing the attack. That's all I recall of that one.

 

[Wolfe91]

Wolfe, I'd say 99% sure that it's Fallout 2.

Haha, how does that look like system shock?

Fallout 2 is a turn based tactical RPG, and it's pretty much everywhere nowadays.

No, that's not the game. Haven't been able to find it anywhere, and I wouldn't know where to look, no abandonware site seems to have it, it's not logged in HOTU either.

 

[Indiana Johns]

Ooops, sorry Wolfe, somehow I totally missed the second paragraph... my bad.

 

[Monsterkiller]

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for a third person action/adventure PC game which I am looking for for a long time. I think it is released somewhere arround 1997-1998, because I can remember I played the game at the same time I played Captain claw, which was released in 1997.

I believe the characted you played with was female. At the start of the game there was a level with large mushrooms and you had to go down large slides. The next thing I can remember is a level (Something like a sawmill) which had a boss with a hamer and al you could do at the boss was running in a circular level with the boss trying to smash you.

I thought the game was called something like pentina (could be completly wrong lol) but I really can't find anything. Please help me

Here's a PC game I have been seeking for a long time, and I will be genuinely impressed if anyone can get it. I remember very little about the game itself, but I can remember the opening scene vividly.

The game opens with the player driving in an American vintage car like a Thunderbird, and you are involved in a road accident with a truck/lorry. You wake up in a strange hospital/lab place and this viewing device is plunged into your eyes.

The game itself involved driving around in some futuristic vehicle, but I remember very little of it because I couldn't get very far due to the lack of an instruction manual.

The game itself was released 1997 or earlier for the PC (I would estimate 95-97).

 

[Porkchop Express]

I've got a couple on my mind that are really bugging me.

First one is either a DOS game or CD-ROM W98 game with a real film noir feel; I distinctly remember a lot of neon lights and dark bars. It may have been a point-and-click?

The second is a late 90s game (a platformer I recall? Maybe hack-and-slash) which was in 3D, but pressing arrow keys moved you along a select path, you couldn't actually move in 3 dimensional space if I remember. In that respect it was kind of a Crash Bandicoot clone, though the camera was farther back and moved quite cinematically. It may have involved a knight?

Reading those two back, my descriptions are incredibly vague but some guesses would be very appreciated.

The first one sounds like 'The Black Dahlia'.
