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

[Musou Tensei]

Hey guys, I found this topic at Google, so I am kind of new here.
I am looking for a friend an old 2D good pixelated game of more than 10 years ago.
He told me the following details of the game thad he played 10 years ago:

- The main character was kind of a red weasel or fox like Sonic with a yellow belly.
- It was a 2D good pixelated! side scrolling PC cd game.
- It had a kind of blue sky background.
- There were colorful levels.
- There were kind of (exploding) barrels where you could jump in and at the right timing jumping out again or something.
- It was around the time of 2000.

He loved this game and would like to find it again. I hope there's someone that knows this game descriptions. Thank you in advance.

Could it have been a game from the Bubsy series?

Ok so I have been searching for this game for years.. It was made around 2000-2003 Best way I can describe it is imagine baldurs gate with just one hero the first act was outside in this kinda junglish area.. You could kill trolls and use their skin as materials to make armor or you could kill boars or wolves and turn their bones into weapon.. someone told me it was dungeon siege but its not.. Very similar tho

I remember you could sneak around aswel.. And I remember the second act of the game was in like an icy area with like vickings and their was a giant talking dragon in the city

Alright, here's an old and seriously obscure one that I've registered just to throw at all of you lovely people.

I remember playing this PC game circa 1995 - most likely earlier. The main thing I remember about it is that it parodied Microsoft very strongly (I believe it called it "Microshaft") and there was a man and a woman, possibly employees. One level had something that, if you clicked on it, would play a sound clip of a woman's voice seductively saying "ooh baby" with some generic music in the background. Another involved something to do with a business and I remember a reference to the glass ceiling, which may have also been literal. It also had a feature which was VERY novel for the time - at least one level required you to be connected to the internet to get past it.

I'm not certain I would actually remember the name if I saw it, but I know I'd remember seeing images! I can still describe some of the levels a bit - the glass ceiling level was a large office, and I remember the back wall was not a wall at all but just one gigantic window looking out at a bright blue sky. The level with the sound clip had primarily purple tones - mostly light-ish, lavender I suppose. One level was also full of signs of some sort, though I do not remember what any of them said. The graphics were really quite decent for the time, no Duke Nukem red skin and jittery pixels.

Does this ring any bells, perhaps? I know it's pretty obscure.

(Edit: And now I've found it - good lord, it IS just as terrible as I remember. Microshaft Winblows 98.)

Okay Guys i played this old game, it was a 3D PC GAME i can pretty much say it was around 2000 the graphics was close to RUNE HALLS OF VALHALLA, the game name was something like Annihilation: Fallen angels, im pretty sure that at least "FALLEN ANGELS" was there inside the name, i searched, everywhere could'nt find it

The game is a third person with melee combat system, the game has 3 races, Angels, Demons and Undeads, you can pick one of those races and play, you start like a very low tier soldier, and you increase ranks as you progress through the game, the wallpaper of the game was a baldman with an angry face, he was an angel captain, in battles there would be a lot of soldiers, allies and enemies, like big battles like 50 vs 50, anybody even played or remenber this game? Thank you in advance!

I had never heard of this...game?????...I googled it just for curiosity (curiosity killed the cat, I know)....seriously, I can't imagine any other similar bizarre thing like that (nor even Japanese stuff!)

 

[zervo]

I've spent more than enough time searching now.. this is my last resort. (cut my life into pieces)

Alright, this was a game during the 90's on pc (windows 95?) The game/application looked basic.. I remember it having a party setup like the eye of the beholder/lands of lore, with similar combat but much simpler grahpics. It had an overworld with top down view, and once you entered a sewer maybe? it became first person dungeon crawling. i can't remember much else.. any help would be appreciated. I need to know i'm not crazy.

 

[psukhomanteia]

I need help finding a rts pc game that I played as a kid. I remember playing it before/after we got age of empires 2. The game is like war craft and has only 4 factions in it 1. Humans 2. Undead 3. Seamen (merman) and I can't remember the 4th group. The gameplay always starts out with a King who builds everything at first like barracks and other units that can build and if he dies it's game over. Also each race/factions have a unique dragon, humans: golden dragon, merman: water dragon, undead: black dragon, and I obviously don't remember the 4th group cause I didn't play them much. The units/soldiers the more they kill the the cooler they look and the units appearance changes at certain kill count. For example the undead team's archery cavalry (they ride water buffaloes lol) starts to have more of a golden design to their armor and it has like 2-3 different look. You can play campaign with each of the race or duke it out in multiplayer. Lastly what I can remember is that each of the race has different skill set for the king. The one that stands or the most is the human king's overpowering skill to revive the dead of any race except their king. Pretty much if you played the humans it was possible to have all 4 dragons and last note only one dragon can be summon at a time.

I am pretty sure you are looking for Total Annihilation: Kingdoms.

I've asked him, but he said it's not a game from the Bubsy series. But it almost comes close.

Yeah, it's pretty awful. It was criticized heavily even back then and I am not at all surprised it's been mostly forgotten now. I was easily amused back then I suppose...

Okay, here's one where I do remember the game series, but not the exact game. It was a King's Quest game, late in the series, and I believe this is about halfway through the game. You start this portion of the game at a volcano that is about to erupt, and you've got to plug something into a control panel to prevent it from blowing its top. I think you play this section as Rosella, the princess. I remember being terribly irritated with this one because you couldn't clear the volcano bit without collecting items from earlier on, if you just started straight from that bit you wouldn't have the necessary items in your inventory. Which one was this?

should be

King's Quest VII

I haven't played it yet..I left these series after playing a couple of hours of King's Quest III because the parser is pretty frustrating.. typical from early Sierra games

That's the one! I recognized the title screen for that section right off; didn't even have to watch past it. Thanks mate - I think I actually have those games still, I'm going to go check my old games collection right now.

 

[Juan Camilo Faciolince]

This game used to be like a first player time of game. it was called like adventure something. The guy was able to buy new swords and buy HP potions after each like stage. there use to be like skeletons and bats. you would have to jump in order to kill bats and at the end we had to kill a dragon. i dont remember really the name. its a pc game.

 

[KaiYLowell]

Ach - and here's another one (possibly two) that just came to mind.

Very near the beginning, you take a plane to some Middle Eastern country (possibly Egypt?) The main character is a man, searching for something. Maybe treasure. Maybe a person. He talks to another man when he gets off the plane; they're in a room with what appears to be wooden crates. The other man is rotund and possibly balding, and I believe offers the main character a cigar. There's something I remember about a cobra too, and having to quickly kill it before it kills you. A woman is also involved at some point.

This part might be from a different game (or a sequel? I don't really recall.) You're in a maze and you're following a disembodied hand called Dirt. You can throw a rock at Dirt, but I remember the manual very clearly telling you not to throw the rock at Dirt, or Dirt will go away and you will get lost in the maze.

Any ideas?

 

[Kaamil Jasani]

Ok, I have been looking for this game for years and I feel like this thread holds the answers. It is a VERY vague description but hopefully someone can recognise it.

It had blue walls if I remember correctly, the trial version ended at some sort of tower (Wizard tower?) and the closest thing my memory relates to is pokemon because, again if memory serves me right, it had some sort of creatures that you used to battle with? Pretty sure it was top down, Played it on Win XP/98, but I am not sure if it was available before that or if it was a port or anything...

I also seem to remember it as sort of a maze, and it had a sort of outer path where the map ended (I think, not sure if I'm mixing two games at this point).

I really need the name of the game...

It's

Mummy - Tomb Of The Pharaoh (1996)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qOtpldCdHxg

very entertaining game starring Malcolm MacDowell as the antagonist.

I don't remember the hand in this game though..could be in the prequel

Frankenstein - Through The Eyes Of The Monster (1995)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hubW1iY2Z-g

I have finished both games, but don't remember the hand neither in this game..but being Frankenstein there seems likely to be somewhere through the game.

Edit: Yep, checked the walkthrough and yes there is the hand Dirt in Frankenstein, now I recall that lazy hand!
