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

[diablo rules]

*sorry for the bad english

I'm looking for a game, it's a top down shooter for the PC.

The enemies are spiders/aliens and you can play co-op up to 4 players (player 1 is controlled with the arrows, player 2 with w-a-s-d and so on), you can see the entire stage and after clearing the area you went to the next... I can't remember if you are invading an alien base, but it starts on a desert and on the later levels more and more of this base/structure can be seen, with doors(oh, i think you had to shoot something to open these doors), the characters sometimes would say "reload" and that's all I can remember...

The game is basically this, you spawn in the area, kill all enemies (can't remember if it had a specific objective) and then you spawn on the next area.

Looking for the name of an old late 80s/early 90s Space Exploration for DOS or Apple II

I've made 2 posts on reddit here [https://www.reddit.com/r/gaming/comments/27z1rp/looking_for_the_name_of_an_old_dos_space/] and here [https://www.reddit.com/r/tipofmytongue/comments/3fnzs9/tomt_computer_game_looking_for_the_name_of_an_old/] with no luck.

When I was a kid I used to go to the local library, and pick out a game to play on the computer. It was in the late 80s/early 90s. I would play things like Carmen San Diego, but my favorite was this space exploration game...

There was a rocket you would take off in, and you could go to other planets and land on them, and find weird aliens. I remember there being a bright color palette, orange, pink, yellow.

You had to manually land the rocket on land using the arrow keys, you landed and took off vertically, and you could totally crash and explode.

It wasn't a space sim, it was definitely more about adventure and exploration... easy for an 8 year old to play.

I don't have too many other details, but with No Man's Sky coming out, that is basically the game I imagined I was playing when I played this old game, so I'd really like to see it again.

I know that it is NOT: Space Quest, Elite, Star Control, Starflight, Commander Keen, Resuce on Fractalus...

The cover art for Strange Odyssey [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strange_Odyssey] is almost spot on, but that is a text game, and this game had color graphics

 

[diablo rules]

ah no, it was a 3d platformer game.

???? did you check the link?... it is 3D and platformer my friend...even more it has all the elements of your description, i.e. funny, save the princess, castle, a boss which is a "dark knight version of yourself"... everything matches...

Hi all

I have been searching all evening for a game I played in the 1990s not exactly sure when/could have been an old game but I'm 22 and I played it at my granny's

It was on an island (multi coloured and pixilated) and I think you had to open treasure chests to find/collect wands? And you might get a pirate shooting at you.
I thought it was called magic but I haven't been able to find it, I remember the music that went with it also.

This was a PC game

 

[AmaiBruh]

Im trying to remember a game, wondering if you can help. All i can remember is theres a boy/man with a big braclet on and you could absorb power through it (i think) theres a snowey level in it and thats all i can remember. I think it was a ps2 game and i thought it was related to the film the mummy somehow but i cant find it.

It's 'The Mummy: The Animated Series' I was looking for that game aswell

 

[AmaiBruh]

This was a PC RTS game where you're some sort of magic person who summons creatures, the only creature I can possible remember is this big Rock guy who came out of the ground, pretty much like Muk(Pokemon) but a stone version, I also remember that one of the maps was set in a forest.
I played the game in about 2008 but it sort of looked like LOL but without cel-shading and champions.

Hey everyone!

I'm trying to remember a 90s PC game. It was a turn-based strategy game, much like Risk, but each country had a political or government designation. It was part of a demo pack of a bunch of games, if that helps. And was not as complex as SuperPower. If the country had the same political affiliation as you, they were easier to rule...
What else ... The game was played entirely from a map view which was black background screen with white borders and brightly colored territories. Or I just imagined the whole thing when I was 12. Thanks!

This may be Civilization

Thanks! It's not Civilization, but that might help me find it. It had more of a War Games look to it. A lot like this: http://www.videogamer.com/pc/defcon/screenshot-22.html

one of the World Empire series perhaps?

Nope, it's not that. Someone already suggest that on reddit a while back. It is definitely more of a 2D side view. no internal views of the ship as far as I remember. More adventury/explory. Thanks though!

No, pretty close, but the screen do not follow you, and the graphics were "more cute"

No, that is too 3D. The rocket landing in the game I am thinking of was just a 2D side view, pixelated graphics, and just a tiny sprite of a rocket ship slowly backing down onto a planet

 

[Stoogie]

I guess no one knows my game request.

 

[dinhthien2506]

I remember playing a game on ps1, its gameplay looks like Monopoly. That game has many classes such as knight, ninja..... u can fight with other players to buy their houses, lands.....
Please, tell me the name of that game.

Hi,
I am searching for one really old game. I played it in on game machine in game rooms cca 20 years ago.
Game is 2d platformer and you are a bee. Bee shots small nets and you can pick up all kind of power ups.
The bosses are big insekts. I think that first boss is bumblebee or wasp.
I believe that is also possible to find this game in one of MAME emulators, just I need name of that game.
Maybe some old game player could help me?

 

[BashJug]

Hi Everyone! I need your help!

There is this game I remember playing in first grade during inside recess.
- You played as a robot who had to fight aliens.
- It was a 3D shooter (for kids, obviously).
- I only remember the first level: It took place on Earth on a farm. The farmer was abducted by aliens and you had to fight off against alive medium-sized plants.
- It was not multiplayer.
- There was music playing in the background (of course).
- It was a PC Game.
This is all I can remember, if I remember more I'll edit this post. I really wanna play this game again.

I FOUND IT! It's called Otto Matic!
