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

[diablo rules]

Hello fellow game lovers! So, I'm practically knocking my forehead onto my keyboard trying to remember this game from my childhood. I would say early to mid 90s, 3D-ish graphics, first person. Not a shooter from what I can recall, but the memory that keeps kicking around in my brain is clicking into different rooms and being scanned and then allowed into a pod of some sort. And I wanna say it had time travel/teleporting (in the pod maybe?) in it but I dunno if that's another game trying to insert it's own thing. Also it was on PC and I wanna say I played it from a demo CD. Any help is greatly appreciated!

sounds like

The Journeyman Project (1993)

but isn't 3D

 

[diablo rules]

Finally, a thread for this, alright, I'm looking for a game that I played Way back on the windows 95.
I have no clue what its called and it seems like nobody else had played it.

The game took place in a sort of isometric/3rd person view, it was 3D but the polygons were that of the first 3D final fantasy game.

You played as a woman in a blue dress, it's raining on some sort of street/dock, there were various strange characters, such as an old woman stting on a bridge who had lost her umbrella to an anthro fox (I believe) who stole it. another strange thing was that there were buildings, however when you went inside one you would be transported to some sort of death room, in which were monsters (skeletons I believe) who tried to kill you.

another thing comes to mind when I think of this game, penguins. I'm pretty sure there was at least one penguin in this game, probably not though.

also, this was some sort of demo, because I remember the 'BUY NOW' screen when you shut down the game.
(that screen had a picture of the woman flying)
hope someone can help me, this has been on my mind for a VERY long time.

hmm...if I only take "..in a blue dress, it's raining on some sort of street.." and "..who had lost her umbrella to an anthro fox (I believe) who stole it..." I would say that it was

Little Big Adventure 2 - Twinsen's Odyssey (1997)

but, if your whole description is right, I can't think in other game...

I adore both LBA games, but yes, that it what it is. Those Mecha Penguins certainly stand out

Hello to all,
are months that I try a game on the internet when I was little (about 13-15 years ago). I remember only a few things, I remember that you began the game (if I remember correctly) in a garage with a car that was firing lasers out of the garage began to be enemies, and around the map you found hidden even a motorbike firing laser and monstertruck firing missiles.
It was a sci-fi shooter game I believe, and could leave the vehicles and killing enemies.
I remember no more unfortunately, I hope someone remember the name of this game because I'm going crazy, thanks in advance.

 

[millsey21]

hello,
the game I want to find is an old game I used to play on the PC maybe 1995-2001. it was a isometric type game looked a bit like icewind dale. im sure it was like an rpg. you start off as a guy in like black armour you start off in a village I remember going into a tavern and there was a woman dancing on a table. then you would go outside the town and would fight enemies. the starting enemies would be like weird green and blue like frogmen that would do acrobatics and stuff and when you killed them they would make a weird screaming sound and drop gold. bit of a mess of an explanation but its the most I remember.
thanks

 

[Vorstols]

I played the game around 2010-2011
There were some kind of bandits that broke in the home and captured 2 people. At some point you needed to jump on chalandier. At some point you go on a air elevator and more bandits break the engine. You need to hop on the roof of it and do stuff.
It has similiar games that have monsters.

EDIT 1: I remembered that the inventory was accasable by clicking some kind of binocular at the bottom right corner

I was remembering my childhood and then this one game got stuck in my head, his icon was a Blue Butterfly. I couldn't play since i got the Windows XP Update (Mistakes were made) i didn't know the Compatible Mode because i was a child...

- I played at around 2002-2003 (Bought a magazine with CD in my country that got this game, not sure if it was PC GAMER or not)

Some of the aspects of the game are:

- You start at a house that gets wrecked by some robot (wich is the boss of the stage)

- The first boss is a Robot Orange (or red) fish

- The second boss is a Robot Yellow Armadillo

- You can recruit soldiers

- there was WC cabins that you could save game by going in them

- It's a platform shooter game that has some Mechs

- You can recruit soldiers, robots and people

Please help, my childhood needs you guys!

Hi all, first, I have to say this is the greatest thread I've ever seen.

I'm looking for a pretty old game, I think I played it around the year 2004.

This is what I remember:

- Game was open world, 3d game.
- I think it was demo version, I had it on a yellow CD with black lettering.
- The game was set in San Fransisco (I remember the famous "Lombard Street")
- The game was filled with puzzles and riddles, you had to find clues to solve some of them.

Thank you.

Hi all, first of all, let me echo the sentiments expressed already about the awesomeness of this thread.

Now to my question:

I'm looking for this ms-dos adventure game that features a secret agent (police? FBI?) that must infiltrate the headquarters of a cult in order to apprehend its leader. Basically, the agent had to talk to people and interact with objects, which led to colored keys, which unlocked rooms/sectors, etc. If I remember correctly, the game was created by a private individual (not a major company) and was featured on his page along with another similar game. I think the last time I was able to locate it was 7-8 years ago. Any help with the name or any other info about the game would be greatly appreciated!!

[Mizzy]

Okay. I've been searching for years. I was really young and thus I never got far in this game. All I know is that you start on an airship or a huge flying station. You run around in some halls and arrive in a big room. Then there is a fight or something and the plane crashes. You wake up at a beach and start to walk in a forest. And that's all I can remember. You played in a kind of bird's-view perspective. Maybe someone could help me. I've been trying to figure this one out for ages.

 

[Sharia]

So,I'm remembering this game: It was in the 80s. You played a female warrior and I'm sure your weapon was a throwing arrow or spear. It was a screen by screen, side action adventure game and it competed with the likes as Barbarian III and other such games. Enemies varied with bats and such.

Wow okay, hi. This is gonna be really tough may I warn you because I played this game when I was like 5 and I'm 16 now. Memory isn't my stronghold but anyway this has been bugging me for a while now. I remember this really quirky game (possibly on PS2 or PS1) where you played as a little red headed, funky girl I think. The strongest memory I have of this game is that whenever you died you would go to some underworld-type place and there you would see all of these other dead people walking around and you would have to collect like a certain amount of things like bones or something if you wanted to regenerate back to your original place before you died. It was kinda like a kids game where it was slightly platformy and maybe slightly repetitive with the whole collecting a certain number of things and shizzle like that. I also remember a lot of colour and distincltly a witches house with ravens? I could have dreamed that bit maybe but this is all I can say about this game. It was just overall really quirky. PLEASE QUECH MY CURIOSITY!

[Zen.Gamer]

So I have been looking for this game for years now. Which is starting to make me believe that this game never existed and that it was the result of a sugar induced fever dream. Here is what I remember.

I rented this game (in Australia) from a video store when I went over to a friends house. This was sometime between 1998-2002 as I would have been in high school when I visited him, though it may be slightly later than 2002. Whilst I can't be sure of anything, I believe it came in a cardboard box. I know it was a console game (Seeing as a PC game rental would be highly unlikely), however I have no idea which one. I thought it was on PS1, but I have had no luck finding it.

The game itself was either an RPG or an action adventure game with RPG elements. All I really remember is the character creation/ customisation and a small part of the beginning. The games customisation involved choosing from what I can only describe as tarot cards, then picking your characters main emotional trait. This would dictate what your character monologued when interacting with signs and NPC's (For example if you chose silent your monologue would most often be "..."). I don't remember there being any voice acting and most likely it was just writen dialogue on screen.

All I can remember about the gameplay is that the starting area was likely a forest, the camera was situated above the character (Kinda like Breath of Fire) and that the combat was not turn based or tactical (So no Ogre Battle unfortunately).

At this point it is merely the frustration of not figuring this out that has me continuing this search. I appreciate any help that you can give at this point.

Edit: Game was found by diablo rules

Blaze & Blade - Eternal Quest (2000)

[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'.

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?)

He says it was definitely not from the Sonic franchise or Tails Adventure. I told him about the other games from your links, ,but neither of them was the game that he played. He says it was good designed/drawn, but still 2D and side scrolling. Is there any hope for him? I want to help him so much,

 

[OPTIKLOPS]

Hi guys. More than 7 years ago i played a game with robots which you choose your robot,the enemy robots and the ally robots,the map and you just fight(basically a skirmish). It had a lot of robots and a lot of maps. This robots had a lot of abilities,its robot different abilities and most robots had melee weapons.I remember some robots too! 1 robot was like a ninja with 1 or 2 katanas(it could teleport at a short distance i think),his main color was red and his secondary color white i think. Another 1 was purple,it had a rocket launcher and his ultimate ability was to use all his laser canons(4-8 laser canons)at once. Finally another 1 was grey and a little white. I am not sure but i think this robot was the biggest and it was overpowered. It had the weapon of death(sorry i dont remember the weapons name )and could spin. I hope i wasnt the only 1 playing this game xD. Also this is my first comment

Edit:It was 3D btw
