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

[diablo rules]

Not exactly a "find the name" - but a "place the scene to the name".

I rememember either watching my sister find this (less likely), or coming across it myself (more likely). It's, iirc, a primarily black and yellow area that contains a bunch of fleshy pod-type things containing unhatched, non-friendly aliens. I seem to remember the portion of the area that wasn't fleshy was primarily black and yellow, somewhat metallic. The pods may have been partially metallic themselves. They were at the far left of the area which you could go to, just basically a wall of alien "eggs" I suppose you'd call them. I am faaaaairly sure this was an area in The Daedalus Encounter as I seem to remember Ari mentioning something about needing to get out of there before the aliens hatch out (maybe? Don't recall exactly what she said, but it WAS her speaking.) They never hatch out as long as you're there, as far as I remember. (This part I am not sure of and it's highly likely I just imagined it - you can come back after they hatch out and see the ends of the pods "exploded" open, the hatchlings no longer there.)

I do not, however, remember seeing the "inside-of-a-machine" HUD style the game is known for, but I was never much for noticing that kind of thing as a wee bub.

Am I confusing this with another game from round the same time period, or was it in fact The Daedalus Encounter?

yes, seems to be The Daedalus Encounter

i remember this one mathematical/problem solving games, which involves helicopter(player). And u click the box for the direction the helicopter heading in order to reach the finish line. after u click the box, u will need to solve the maths questions or solve problems in order for u to move to the next box. sometimes u will be against the computer for some challenge which varies from solving questions to use the tank and shoot the tank (computer) to others. Does anyone knows the title of the game please? It would be brilliant if u know of the game

[Blake Stitely]

Ok, so this one's been on my mind for a while. Never played it so no idea what console but I remember watching a walkthrough on youtube. It was old, probably around early 2000's maybe in 1990's... maybe. Anyway it was a zombie FPS with some horror aspects, but I don't think it was too based on horror, and there were multiple stories that I'm pretty sure intertwined. The only one I can really remember is the one where you're a soldier and you either landed or crashed a helicopter near a highschool and you had to make your way through or something similar and you had a M4 and some pistol as your weapons. All the cutscenes were in a comic book panel-to-panel style. Fairly certain another story had a couple that had to escape a town or maybe you had to get to the girl's house to rescue her? not certain on they're objective but there was a couple and you played as the guy im pretty sure but I could be wrong.

Sorry for super vague description but I hope you guys can help.

Could that be Resident Evil Survivor?

Definitely not Resident Evil series. I'm pretty sure it was a stand alone title

try

Hellforces (2005)

or

SiN Episodes - Emergence (2006)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MvrRUwBrBJ4

even

SiN - Wages Of SiN (1999)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1OnqaMGo8Q

Sorry but it's none of those either

 

[RedFox42]

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.

It's not a Crash Bandicoot game, is it? (Can't recall offhand if that franchise had any 2D games...)

No unfortunately not which came first in my mind. But he says it was not Crash Bandicoot.

He remembers now that the maincharacter was definitely a 'fox'.

Could it have been a game from the Bubsy series?

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

maybe

Foxy Jumper 2 (2004)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ZJ6lgmvObI

not a side-scrolling game but a platform one though

He said it was not Foxy Jumper 2.

 

[chocolatefudgecake]

Looking for an old PC platform game!

I remember the game was 2D and the character we played was a guy with brown hair and he had to rescue his girlfriend or something who was kidnapped I think. It was a platform game and rather adventurous, you had to collect fruit as you made your way and there was quite a bit of jumping and running. It was a colorful game.

Please let me know if you have an idea!

 

[codyne]

Looking for GBA SP game that i used to play. i dont remember very much about it and anything i do is incredibly vague :c


- I think it was a top down view (not certain)
- your character has a flashlight
- I think the flashlight was a really important mechanic
- i believe you have a gun
- a part with a dark, destroyed mansion or castle or something
- crows or bats or something of the sort attack you while you are in the castle/mansion
- you can also explore the outside, courtyard area of the building
- I remember it being DARK and foggy most of the time
- I very vaguely remember a mechanic where you could switch weapons or something

Hopefully somebody can help me out, it would be greatly appreciated

 

[HybridChangeling]

Oh gosh, I am so happy this thread exists, I have been searching for this game forever. I don't know if I remember it accurately, but lets give it a try.

On an old console, it was a game where you drove around an empty city looking for the other car to take out. It felt like a Twisted Metal with a cleaner design. There was a green van and a red car. Forgive me if I don't remember it all, I was 7, I think.

And he's absolutely positive it wasn't anywhere in the Sonic franchise? Didn't Tails have his own game at some point? (I may be thinking of a fan game, or perhaps a Japan-only game.)

(Edit: Yep, here's Tails' game - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tails_Adventure That isn't it, is it? Still worth a look at though.)

(Edit 2: This is too early and not a fox, but the bright colors make me think of Skunny: Save Our Pizzas ( http://www.classicdosgames.com/game/Skunny:_Save_Our_Pizzas.html ). Alternatively, this one has much darker colors, but is from a bit later time period - Titus the Fox: To Marrakech and Back ( https://www.mobygames.com/game/titus-the-fox-to-marrakech-and-back ) Maybe one of those?)

[Rhino Angelo]

Does sound like Boktai. I can't think of any other games where a flashlight (which was probably actually the Gun Del Sol) was a vital mechanic. You'd take the SP outside into sunlight to charge the gun; if it wasn't charged, you'd have to run away from enemies.

when I was a kid, which was probably around the year 2000, I had a game...it was situated in space or based around spaceships and fights....it has a slightly japanese feel/anime style to it...there were a couple of characters, girls and the last one (probably) a boy...with brown hair...anyone could help me identify it?

Tell us a bit more if you can, mate. 2D? 3D? First person, third person, top-down view? What system/console? Do you remember any sort of names?

Although seeing anime-ish and space together, I would personally think a Star Ocean game, but I could be very wrong, and likely am.

 

[lemon659]

Sorry if this is in the thread already, but here's the one I'm looking for: Arcade game from late 80's, early 90's, isometric view, multi-player co-op (4 players, I think), I don't recall that there was any clear "goal" other than to hack/slash. There were what seemed like many "boards" that you got to by walking through portals; you could "pick up" different weapons or a weapon from a co-op player that dropped it if they died (I remember one was a whip, I think there was a gun, can't remember others). It's not Arcus Odyssey. Any ideas?
