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

[ShadowCrush]

alright, here's one I'd like to re-discover:

It's a side-scrolling point-and-click adventure game for PC, I played it 10-15 years ago. It's slightly educational. You play as a boy in a town, which I remember had a farm with sprinklers that could be turned on and off.
The game starts, as I recall, in the boys bedroom. I remember that you could pick up different items, and turn the lights in the house on and off.

Any ideas? Feel free to PM me about it if you know anything!

I remember playing this game when I was 7 or 8, so it was around 1998. It was a game for SNES, and I remember that the main character was a boy with big nose, red cap, red clothes (no, it wasn't mario....), I think he had red hair too... The first stage was named "The Street", it started when he comes down from an apartment, I think, then runs, until the finds a toy store, and I think there was a cab outside it. The second stage is called "The Store", he's inside it, and there's some giant toys, firts he has to jump to the shelves, I don't remember much, but there was these giant letter cubes, he jumped on them, then there was planes flying, he had to jump on them to reach the other side... I don't remember the next stages, but the last one was "The Factory"... I think there could be "The Factory 1" and "The Factory 2"... And I remember there was a stage on a mountain, and another one deep in the water.
So... Does someone know what I'm talking about??

I used to play a space battle game at my friends house in the nineties. You could be humans or different aliens and each alien had different ships and battle strategies. One alien race had yellow ships and I think were more of a swarm insectial type, another was more psychic and had biological ships It was mostly third person and I think there might have been a first-person screen on the side. It seamed to have pretty good graphics for the time. Ring a bell for anyone.

Hey guys so the game starts off with you having a choice between either saving your brother or Girlfriend. I know it was kinda a futuristic kinda game. Also I played it on the PC. Please help.

Hello, reposting.
I`m looking for a very old game, somehwere from betwean 1990-2000. It`s a PC, 2D sidescroller where you could play as 1 of the 3 classes - mage, archer and warrior(no not Trine, Trine is 2009). So what you did is, you had to walk through the dungeons collecting gems and fighting different kinds of foes, doing some mediocre platforming, you could also upgrade your characters skills if i`m not mistaking. And as far as I remember, I haven`t played this game in 10, or more, years, the final boss was some large skeleton with a crown.
The heroes all looked like dwarfs or maybe even Vikings, but it`s not any of the "Lost Vikings" games.
And yet again, if my memory doesn`t fail me miserably, the executable was called dwarf.exe or dwarf2.exe (cause that was what it looked like on my desktop at the time, cause I spent so much time in front of it)
Also if this helps, the style was a bit cartooney and it`s certainly not "Golden Axe" or "Gauntlet Legends"

Ok so i can't remember this game for the life of me, and its really nagging at me to know the name. So its an old PC game(I think) because i remember playing it on the computer when i was younger. Its a Fantasy Strategy game where you lean 1 of 4 armies each with different specialty, i believe it was like Fire, Water, Wind, and Earth. So you start the game and begin building your army, different types of units, towers, gates, you know the usual. Then you go out into the fog of war and try and find your enemy and fight them. One thing that stands out from this game that i remember is that with certain units you could take control over Enemy units and ships, they would change to your color and stuff, but thats pretty much all i can remember about it. Can anyone help?

Help me fellas. This SNES game starts off in an apartment. You hear a gravel voice say the words: "I made a mistake." A hovering helicopter shoots a missile into your apartment, and you escape. Level one is spent jumping from ledge to ledge in an apartment block as you run from the cops. You proceed through the game running from police and fighting your way to some sort of answer. I recall that at one point in the game, your going through a place called The Laboratory. The more you attack enemies and destroy things, the more you build up your rage and power. You are able to shoot from a weapon that is somehow implanted onto your arm, and the initial blasts are green. But then, as you get stronger, the blasts turn yellow. Then, the more you attack, the blasts turn red. You can punch and kick and shoot and tear everything up. It was a great game. It was on the SNES.

What game was this?!?

I'm not sure about the elemental specializations, but I know there are spells that correspond to all those elements and there is a unit, the priest, that can convert enemy units.

I've been trying all day to remember the name of a floppy disk game my brother and I used to play on our C64. It was a tex based RPG. You started on a small island that had nothing but a coconut tree, in the middle of the ocean. I remember that sometimes the coconut could fall on your head and kill you. Also, you could eventually get off the island, but we always got picked up and killed by pirates at some point. I think it had basic pictures, but I really can't remember if I'm just making that up because it was so long ago lol. Let me know if you remember it! Thanks!

Hey so I'm really hoping to find out this game I played as a kid I can't remember a lot um but it involved you being a boy and the game was sort of a maze but you had to get around zebras and possibly lions and crocodiles etc. There was an old guy who was the narrator I guess and he would tap his walking stick and say "are you lost?" If you took too long. Once you got through the level you would end up on a raft and go down a river to the next level and the aim was to find out what was going wrong with the waterfall?

I never got to the end and to this day my dad laughs at me and wont tell me and it's driving me nuts!

I've been wondering about a game I use to play with my brother on the Playstation 2. It was a medieval game and it was based on Rome. Things I remember is that the opening game was you (and player 2) were guarding a carriage with the Emperor inside of it. A cut scene hits and all off a sudden barbarians started to chop down the trees beside the road so they would fall in front of the carriage. Then barbarians start coming and start shooting arrows at the troops and flame arrows at the carriage. Each battle you were to go into there would be cut scene showing little animation clips of what's happening. One other battle is that you (and player 2) would be walking down a bridge and you get flanked and you get attacked from both sides. Then another one I remember very well is that you and an army were in an icy cavern type and the enemy army approaching. Then all a sudden a cut scene hits and shows thousands upon thousands of flaming arrows being shot up into the sky towards you and your army.

Important aspect: It was based off a movie.

Shadow of Rome???

I remember this one game that I use to play on the Playstation One as a child. It was a 3rd person shooter/infiltration style of game (nothing to do with Metal Gear Solid) that occasionally involved picking up differently colored cards to open locked blast doors and such. It had a sort of..futuristic feel to it. I vaguely remember the first level. It started you off with your character flying in a helicopter,or rather,standing on the side of the helicopter while above a moving train. The cinematic involved the character jumping onto the train,and then ending with him in kind of a cool pose. The level would then start next to,I would guess,the railway tracks that the train was passing by. You then would have to go and beat up your first enemy in the game,beating the shit out of him and taking a..like..sort of blue+green-ish card off of him to open a blast door to continue the level. At the end of the level was a boss fight with some big guy that was hammering away at an anvil,he says something to your character and then runs at you with it. I actually remember my strategy involving racking up a huge amount of sub-machine gun ammo to finish him off quicker. I can barely remember anything in between the end and the beginning and the end of the first stage..
And that's about all I can offer. Any ideas on what it might be called?

Sadly this is not the game, it was more 3d and had a bit better graphics. Sorry im not able to remember much more, there were a few other things, like each of the armies had their own god/demi-god that fought with them. I can remember a few of the levels, like one was a maze like map(I think it was just a free play mode not a mission) and on one of the Story Missions you used the Water ones to attack the flying ones, in the next mission of that line you were the flying ones who had just suffered the loss and their leader couldn't fly or something like that.
