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. :D
I FOUND IT! It's called Otto Matic!
If you wanna play something similar, i'd recommend Bugdom (2) :) It's by the same studios, if i'm not mistaken, and adds a few features, as well as deleting some key features to make it more challenging

Hey guys,

I Rly need your help to find one old game.

TYPE: Arkanoid
PLATFORM: PC
MULTIPLAYER: Yes
All I remember is, that it was arkanoid game with 10 levels. After each level, you "flew away" with you spaceship to shop, and you could by some things for the next level, such us, more balls, weapons, or even fireballs and other stuff. After 10 levels, there was a firework as you finished the game. Anyone any idea pleasee? :((
Pretty sure you're referring to Powball. You have a red bar (at the arkanoid part), shapeshifting into a spaceship that you have to navigate through an asteroid field to advance to the shop.
Enemies appear randomly, shaped like a Helmet, Headphones, an atom-like planetoid etc..

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
Odd suggestion, and it's probably not correct, but could it be Darwinia? Or its successor Multiwinia?

Hello Guys. I'm looking for this game for years now I found this topic and maybe you can help me.
I remember me and my brother playing this old PC game where you can play local coop, on the same keyborad and start in a dungeon, you can choose what character you wanna play. between the classes I remember:
The prisoner that use the iron ball on his leg as a weapon; The knight; I almost sure that was a female character and maybe one or two others that I can't remember now.
In the game, you just go progressing and when you kill a npc that is using a lance, for example, you can take the lance and use as a weapon yourself.
The game was 3D and Isometric. Very funny to play.
Sorry about the low details, I was too little when I played this.
Thanks for the Help
Can Someone help me with this? Im really looking for this game for years. TY

Sup y'all.

So I remember playing this arcade game at a Garibaldi's Pizza restaurant back in 2008 or 2009.

From what I remember, the game was definitely late 80's, it both graphics and premise.

The plot was basically: you're this guy on a date with his girlfriend, she gets captured by some freak-show carnival sort of dude. So the game starts, and I clearly remember your character being on this moving train and you are fighting these stereotypical 80's punks, very Terminator-ish, they had colorful mohawks, there were fat guys, skinny ones, they used chainsaws, bats, like there was a variety. And I think they were all part of a mutant freak show. They weren't zombies, this wasn't Carnevil (as I thought it was originally), this was like definitely 80's.

So anyone?? I've seriously been trying to find out what it was for years, Garibaldi's doesn't have the arcade game anymore...
Probably a long shot, but maybe Vendetta [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIbLckVJ2QU&nohtml5=False]?

Hi everyone! I'm so glad I found this forum because I need help... there is a game I played a lot when I was a little child (2003-2010) but now I forgot the name...
I remember it is kind of a strategy game with 3 playable factions some of them were, men faction that have little weird helicopters and some kind of desert aliens function, and every functions have their "heros" that you can spawn... I also remember a desert map with huge sand worm that could appear randomly I think (But I could be confused with another game called Dune but I'm not sure) I think the game also have fire lizard that have fire breath and they can grow by leveling it up. Another thing in the game that I remember is the intro movie and there is a man that fell from the sky by something and land on a bridge and by the other side there are kind of scorpions men and the single man have electric glove so he is touching the thing that he crashed with and it explodes and bring the bridge down... The game itself came on kinda big case with 5 or 6 discs I think and on the case there is a man with weird glasses and behind him a tower that someone attack. PLEASE anyone who know this tell me! Thank YOU!

Yeahhh!! I'm pretty sure this is it, the Buzzsaw guy is definitely familiar. I think this is it...maybe my memory added the "freak show" element, but it was definitely a gang, this seems really familiar. Thanks, dude!

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 :D)and could spin. I hope i wasnt the only 1 playing this game xD. Also this is my first comment :D

Edit:It was 3D btw :D
Ehmm.. Can Someone Help Me Please?
try

Exteel (2007)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5FH1ZW4mzlI
What about Metal Fatigue?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=abo9NsUsxCE
Lol no. My game is a fighting game not a strategy game
Judging by the info, i keep thinking it might be One Must Fall 2097, but i'm gonna assume it's not that one, since that has been suggested a lot more often xD

And as for the Weapon Of Death: a Scythe? o.o one of those things grim reapers have? o.o

I'm trying to find the title of a two games:

1 - I had a PC demo in the late 1990's, 97-98 I think? I remember the demo disc was orange and the game was a racing simulator type thing. You raced a few circuits and you could modify your car with guns, oil slicks, mines etc. There were tunnels, jumps, bumps and I remember the loading screen gave some quirky facts, one was something like 'engines have been stolen while waiting at lights' humour!

2 - On Amiga, a skiing/winter sports type game, you could do tubing, skiing from a mountain, snowball shootouts? There was a bloke with big eyes in a shop as well I remember!

Been trying to figure out the names for ages and it's really bugging me!!
Right, I got the name of the second game, it was called Ski or Die - a great game! Still stumped on the first game, anyone any ideas?
Kinda tempted to suggest "Interstate '79", or in my case a.k.a Nitro Pack (was a special edition that was shipped with some graphics cards)

Hey mudda people!, I need help remembering this game. I believe it was a playstation game in the early 2000's. The main character was a dark skinned color man, I believe he had short dreads and he was buff. He wore some type of bone mask as well as bone gauntlets that were used as a weapon similar to wolverines claws, he had bone boots as well. Note that he did not wear a full bone outfit, he was basically nude from everywhere else but had a redish brownish type of clothing that only covered from the waist to mid thigh. So he basically wore like a skirt and maybe a skirt/short. The game was gore, I remember killing monsters and the scenery of the game was gloomy and created suspense.

Any ideas of what the game is?. Please help and thank you.

Right ok.
This will be a long one but this has been haunting my mind for the past ten years and I have yet to find it.
I remember playing this in primary school, with the game looking like it was early 90's with pixel graphics.
I remember it being a puzzle game where you start off travelling to this island and meeting a doctor (no, it was not Dr. Brains island) where the first puzzle you get is to help him repair a soda/coffee machine, which you have to do by programming all the buttons to do the corresponding things until it works and you give the dude his nice beverage.
However, there is then a massive explosion and a brick falls on the dudes head. Poor guy. Turns out robots have attacked the island and you have to stop them and escape!

I don't remember any of the story from here on out til near the end, but I remember a lot of minigames and puzzles you had to beat.
The next one I remember was when you had to program a machine to drop slabs onto a bridge so that it was safe to cross. I also remember a point where you had to program this massive conveyor belt system to dump robots into acid and bring some barrels to safety.
There was also a point where you search for mines in a field using a robot top down, and one where you control a boat going down a river with the scientist and some others in it.

You crash into the coast of a jungle, and you use this radar scanning thing to search different co-ordinates in the jungle from above until you find a temple. The temple is this maze-like thing inside and you have to click in the direction you want to go in. Can't remember the end goal of this bit. The scanner also showed what wildlife was in the area so you had to find out where the temple was based on whether there were robots there or not (e.g. scanner shows 2 monkeys and a robot, next one to the left 3 monkeys, so its closer to the right)

You then find these three huts, where two have been booby trapped by dynamite and there is a random lady hiding in a crate in the third one, who pops out and helps you. She then makes you identify animals in a pitch black room using a torch. Dunno why.
Last minigame I remember comes at the very end, where everyone has been rescued and you are celebrating and ready to take off. THEN ROBOTS ATTACK AGAIN! SCARY!
They start lasering down the door, and you have to program this light the lady gave you to interfere with the signals the robots use, in order to stop them from getting in. Do this, and you win, and you get a cool splash screen with all the characters stood in a line together with it saying "CONGRATULATIONS!" above it.

Please, save me from this eternal hell of forgetting the name.

Hey all
I really wanna know the name of this old pc game I used to play 10-12 years ago but cannot remember now
- it was installed via a disk
- the game began with the main character and his wife/gf out on the streets while some kidnappers attempt to get his girl
- there is a white light and they all disappear
- the main character wakes up in a huge hole or pit with no clothes on
- in the bushes he finds a broken ladder and covers himself with the leaves
- he meets a sculptor in the hole too
- he then comes out of the hole and moves towards a hut in a forest
- the hut has evidence of his wife being there
- moves to a town .. The only places one can visit is a pub and a blacksmith
- gets a sword made from the blacksmith
- in order to leave the town he needs to join a sailors crew who are sitting on the first floor of the pub
- shows them his skills by cutting the candles on the table with his sword
- they disagree at first
I don't remember the rest and I seriously want to know the name of this game
Does anyone know?

Trying to remember the name of an old game I used to play on Windows 95. It was a business simulator game where you ran a company and produced your choice of either a cars/ planes or computers and as the years went on your R&D could develop new tech for your chosen industry and sell new upgrades and newer models.

Would love to play this game again.
Thanks for the Help!

I remember playing a game on the PC, I believe multiplayer, likely in the late 90s. I remember it was a shooter game where you would find different weapons. One was a guided missile that, when you shot it, you would change view to get the camera angle of the missile zooming around until it hit something. And I remember, at least on one level, it was in a house. You would be tiny and hide in the soap dish above the bathtub, or behind the toilet, and things like that. I've googled as much as I can, but I just can't find any reference to it. Thank you.
