OkK, so there's a possibly ps1 side-scroller my Dad used to play a lot. You control a little spaceman going across a red mars-like planet, and its very score based with enemies like alien-spiders, and I seem to remember there being a sort of whistling sound.Played in early noughties. If anyone gets this game from my cryptic description I will love you till the end of time

Ok.. I'm reaching way back into the back of my brain to remember details of this... I'm looking for a game I played way back, I think maybe 1995-2000ish. It's a PC Game, not console, it's first person. It's not a shooter game, but you have to attack/defend yourself. It's a dungeon crawl type game. You transform into animals as you go, and I think you have to find weak spots in the wall and break them down to progress. I think there's a graveyard or a crypt or something like that that you start out in, I'm not sure if it's a vampire game, but I feel like you've risen from the grave or something like that. Not much to go on. I think the graphics were like EGA, or maybe VGA or SVGA... As I said, the game was OLD! Lol.

Any help, please email me at vocalyocal(at)aol(dot)com or on facebook using the same email. It should come up as DC Scala. If you search for DC Scala, there's 2 that come up. I'm the one without the pic.

Thanks for any/all help! Happy Gaming!

No recognition of my wizard minesweeper DOS game then, diablo rules? Shame, though I can't say I had huge amounts of hope....

 

[Silverhawk1277]

I have been playing a computer game back in like 2001 maybe 2000 about this chicken that had a laser gun and was to collect what I thought were gold eggs. There were these teleports that looked like elevators where when you reached your destination, a foot would kick you out. There were these flowers (enemies) that roamed the map that you could shoot for points. That is all I can remember. Anyone know the title?

Sorry I don't...I can check out, but I don't quite get the picture of your game. The dungeon was with a top-down perspective like the original Zelda or first person like Eye Of The Beholder? And the minesweeper-like map covered the entire screen or it was just a small map embedded in the main screen? Another helpful point are the graphics. The game had good graphics like the said Eye Of.. or basic graphics like Jetpack? Hope you can remember.

 

[MC Rove95]

Im trying to remember an old computer game i played in high school in 2013- 2014. Its a small game where you are a green blob and you fight 3 bosses. Its a very simple game with a small map only a forest, a dock, a castle, and an open field. The game is only 2d, and you can level up your weapons armor and magic. The enemies you fight are weird shapes and colors nothing real, or in real life, all the characters are just shapes is what im trying to say. If you can help me that would be great i have been trying to find this game since i graduated, but it seems like none of the gaming websites have it on anymore. Please help and if you can thank you.

The map covered I think about the top-right corner, though may have been up to a third of the total area - this was literally just a minesweeper-esque grid, just numbers in squares, with most of the map initially blank. Somewhere, possibly below that, was a very basic static image (think maybe the Hobbit text adventure on the Spectrum style graphics, tiny bit more detailed maybe) of the room you were in. There was no moving around rooms, simply a case of which room you were in (i.e. which was highlighted on the map). The right hand side of the screen was then I think a list for inventory, and controls, like big arrow buttons for moving between rooms (e.g. up arrow to move up one room), or buttons for 'examine', 'pick up' etc. (I think) - which leads me to believe there may also have been a list of things that were in the room. The room and inventory lists were literally just lists, I think, black text in a white box. The main game was essentially the map and traversing around that. There must have been a text box somewhere too, in fact I think this was the main thing that was below the map on the screen, with things like descriptions of the current room or details of combat (I think combat was turn-based D&D style but I'm really unsure on this one - textual output anyway).

Hello, im looking for a game i played on PC around 2002-2003. I'm sure it was actually quite a bit older than that though. It was a top down turn based strategy game. I believe you chose different mythological monsters before a battle.

The monsters were represented as 2D sprites and the world was flat. I remember a desert like map with a few rivers running through it especially. I also remember there was a tornado like monster, but that's about it. It was my brothers game and I never played it much, but i've been thinking about it for years.

Thanks for any help.

Okay, here goes a potential doozy:

I had an old compilation disc that I ran on PCs of Windows 95/8/maybe XP age, containing a whole bunch of (often shareware versions of) games, that in hindsight I'm sure were all DOS games. Had some classics like Jetpack, Mice Men, Laser Light, Jumpjet, Balloon Challenge - anyway. I'm fairly sure that disc was called something like '300 favourite games' or 'my 300 favourite games', but that must be wrong, as I can't find any clue to its existence on the internet. I'd be curious to know it's name, but that's not my main target.

The game I want to find was on this disc, I have no idea of its name, except that it might have involved the word Wizard, but that's a hopeful guess.

You explored a dungeon that was represented as a grid map (with wraparound edges), where every room has a number representing how many bad rooms (magic trap rooms? Maybe?) were next to that room - just like minesweeper has with mines. You had to go around this map, find the key to the evil wizard/necromancer/something like that's lair, find the lair, enter and kill him. The map was randomised each time. I have a very vague memory that the image displayed if you died was something like a skull with a snake wrapped around/through it.

I also remember that potions came in various colours, and drinking them was risky until you'd found some magical item that revealed secrets (possibly also highlighted the key's location on the map?), although you could learn that red/pink = good, blue/white = bad (I think).

Anyone have any idea? Or at least any memory of this?

What you're describing definitely sounds like an early game from the "roguelike" genre...but I honestly couldn't be more specific than that.

You could be thinking of Rogue itself, or an early version of Nethack. If it's well-known, it's likely to be on this list here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronology_of_roguelike_video_games

*edit* Sorry, just noticed your second post. I can't think of any roguelikes with the image of the room in the middle of the screen, but it might still be one of those games.

Ok maybe you can help me out im looking for an old Dos game i believe mid to late 90s

Basically what I remember is you Battled it out with different characters Wizards, ogres i think mages Other various of types of fantasy creatures You would battle it out in a big courtyard with teleporters and such you would have spells for each character but what i remember mostly is the little elf would be the only character that could hide in the forests and move through them like steath.

You would send out troops to try and take over the other wizards tower or somehthing.

Looking for an old, possibly a classic "cd rom" game. Might have come with windows 95/xp.

Played when i was around 5, i would say around year 2000 (possibly a bit later). Probably released earlier. At this time i also played The Reap.

3D game (i think) with robots that looked like walkers in Star Wars, or maybe more similar to the last robot in Avatar when someones is in controls in the cockpit. Mostly dessert environment. You fought as the robot and killed other robots, objektive unclear but they might been open world and the other robots surprised you. I feel a slight remembrance that you could switch to view inside the cockpit, but very uncertain. Think it was a faced paced game and you ran away from robots a lot. Might have been a demo. Remember it as visually appealing, an a bit scary.

Nostalgic game for sure. Any ideas are appreciated.

yes, that's what I thought in the first place, I checked many roguelike games and found nothing...that's the reason what I asked about the graphics because most of the roguelikes games have pretty basic graphics.

Hello There

I was just wondering if anybody knew the name of a game released for the original Xbox, the first mission of which involved you turning into some sort of demon or monster and killing a group of soldiers that had just come up in an elevator. It had a modern or slightly futuristic setting and the demon/monster you turned into had a very alien-like feel. I believe it was a first person shooter. It had 3D graphics, if that helps.

Sorry for the lack of information but if anybody could tell me the name of this game if there are any like it I would greatly appreciate it.

Hey! I have found a long-loved game in this forum: Terra Colony. The post I found leaded me to this page: http://www.bettiesart.com/tc/terracolony/gw4help/table%20of%20contents.html
But I can't find the game anywhere here or on the internet. Do any of you guys have it?

 

[David Coats]

Hey. I've been searching for a game I played a few years back for a while, and was wondering if anyone could help.

It was this online 3d game I played where you were this japanese sumo wrestler baby, and you would go around smashing things and throwing them. You picked up these things that looked sort of like ice cream cones that would be floating around in order to gain points, and that would allow you to become stronger and be able to throw heavier things. There would be like a display of how heavy something was and certain things you had to repeatedly press a button [if it was close to your limit i think] and try and throw it away or be smashed by the object.
