I've been on a nostalgia kick lately and thought of an old motorcycle game I played on early PCs. It was not Road Rash. It was visually similar to the 1997 Road Rash game though. There were no pedestrians, it wasn't violent (couldn't hit other riders with chains and things) and I remember that there was a traffic option so you could play with or without other cars on the road. I remember it being fairly short (maybe only 5 levels) but that could just be my memory of it fading.

Have you had a look at the "Beach Head" series yet?
It's four games, named "Beach Head 2000", "Beach Head 2002", "Beach Head Desert War" and "Baghdad Central Desert Gunner".

Here's an example video:

Hello guys,

Have bein looking for a while.
Me and my brother played this PC game somewhere in or around the period of '97 to '99. It was an adult themed game with a first person shooter and puzzles.

I remember how you would start in a haunted mansion/building shooting ghost and at the end of the level you would have to kill a t-rex who would die in flames.
Also I remember a puzzle involving some chess pieces. You would have to collect video tapes/clips, wich would then be viewed.(graphic) I would always skip those because the shooting and puzzles were the p.o.i.
Also there was some sort of dungeon with a girl in the menu which I never found the use for. (its not manga or something like that).

I'm from the Netherlands but I do not believe it was exclusively released in the Netherlands.
I hope this rings a bell for someone. its not the avarage game.. and google provides nothing. thank you :)
might be

Geisterjager John Sinclair - Evil Attacks (1998)

or at least has some connection with your game.

Okay so... I remember playing this years ago. It was on the PC and it was a shooter. For some reason i want to say it was a Battlefield game because it rings nostalgia. You picked your soldier from a birdseye view of the battle and you zoomed in to first person mode and when you died you'd go back to birdseye view ans picked another one. It was very fun. I can even remember a maps layout and I just want to try it again. Any help would be appreciated!

The game i am searching is a ps1 game. i remember playing it between 2000-2005.
It is a racing game that looks a bit like wipeout but the world was more realistic, if i remember correctly the race track was made out of water or ice.
The vehicles looked futuristic as well. they had no wheels.
After every few racing levels there was a combat level where you could freely go around and had to destroy all other vehicles to win the round.

The game probably wasn't that popular since google gives nothing.
Thank you in advance!

hello,

i'm looking for a PC game from early 2000 similar to rayman 1 the game is 2d , the main character was fighting using his helmet throwing it at enemies
and he was wearing a purple cape also..

a second PC game was a 3rd person and you could choose either a sword user female or a 2 handed mace user male, it was a zombie game set in London and you were chasing a person who at the end becomes the devil he is the last boss as i recall.

thanks in advance.

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for a game in the early 2000s. I played it at my friends house and ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT. It's very similar to Age of Empires III (ya know with the aztecs and stuff) but it isn't old civilizations...its more futuristic. The resources aren't trees and stone..they're something else..I want to say something green and purple. You can create an army of war machines that can fly (among other units). Other than those differences its the same as AoE..it was on a CD. you started off with like a few of the starter dudes.

When I try searching for a game similar to AoE I get all modern games and can't find any of the older ones.

Thanks!!

If it were tanks and vehicles it could be --> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urban_Assault or maybe not even close.

The platformer should be "The Adventures of Lomax" (1995), a "Lemmings" spin-off.

The hack'n'slay is "Daemon Vector" (2005). It's Rhea, the girl, though, who carried the heavier weapons.

It's a little bit older (1997), but it could be Total Annihilation. Resources are Metal and Energy.

I don't think it was that..a bit too old, very similar though. I just skimmed through those videos and that games looks pretty awesome.

Hey i just registered only to this thread

I've been searching a ps2 game i played in my childhood, around 2005 think, i've been searching for it in the last 3 month
The game mechanic is based of banjo kazooie style.
You start as one character ( a skinny humanoid rabbit i think ) and he has a hammer as a main weapon
The first section is in a wild western themed world and you will rescue a girl (humanoid rabbit too?) from a train chase stage
The second section is in a halloween/horror themed world and you have to rescue another friend from ms frankenstein, this specific friend swims on his back
The third part is where you met a talking fish that will teach you how to dive

I know this sound ridiculous but i really remember playing this game, just don't know anywhere else to ask

Hey all

I'm looking for a game I used to play several years ago. It was on online game, which I think was on Miniclip.com, but I can't find it there anymore.

The game was 2D and there were many different layouts of 'mountain' areas.

In the game, you had to power up a Spaceship by connecting it to 3 "pillars". To do so, you could place nodes, starting from your base. These were all connected and were siphoning energy, which then travelled to your spaceship. You could then further build out nodes, amplifiers, etc. But you also had to build shooters in order to drive back a BLUE wave (quite litteraly) of monsters, which would destroy your nodes if they came close to them. There were short range, long range and drone-type shooters if I remember correctly. After connecting to the 3 points, your spaceship would power up and fly off. This would then complete the level.

The game was very simplistic in its looks, and was daily updated with a new map for several years! The main colours of the game were grey for the mountains, green for areas your nodes were in control of and blue for the monsters. In the background, there was a certain monotone sound.

That's the "Creeper World" series. Really good and highly addictive.

Hello

Im trying to remember the name of a pc game (im pretty sure it was a MS DOS game) i used to play on my daewoo when i was 3 or 4 yo (2002-2003) but im sure the game is older, also i liked to play that ski MS DOS game in which you were eaten by a yeti...

OK now, in this game which i can't remember it's name, the character you controlled was a little red guy wearing a light blue night cap and if you left him standing on it's place doing nothing, he would just sit down and fall asleep until you wanted to move him again.
The game's objective or goal was to mainly get a key and open a door to another level.
The game's perspective is 2D, and you had to move through a maze and move big yellow balls (hahaha) in order to get to where the key was hidden and then make your way through the maze and open the door once you got the key.

I really wanna play it again :( Help me.

Sorry about my english, i haven't practiced it in a while.

If you're referring to the old Windows game "SkiFree" (1991), rejoice.
Its programmer has released a 32-bit version which should run on any modern machine. :-D
