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

[TotalNoWar]

I First remember playing in 1991-92
Turn-based War Game
WWII and Cold War type Military Units
Multi-player option of up to maybe 6? All had basic single colour to distinguish (blue, red, yellow etc.)
Hexagonal layout but very old-school. Think a slight upgrade on MechWar.
Big problem is I had an all Japanese version so I have no idea what any of the language meant. Also don't know if it was ever released in English!
I just remember the battles being epic in scale (possibly a lot of different scenarios games within) and playing for days at a time.

Any help would be amazing. Thanks

Ok, this has been driving me crazy for the past 2 days, and I have searched everywhere!

The game is a late-90s / early 200s (like very early) 3D PC game, where you can build a castle, have a moat, change the colours/patterns of the castle pieces, and then even walk inside the 3D castle. And in some rooms, there is a King or a Princess/Queen, and maybe a Knight. But the one thing I definitely remember is a Jester (red and blue clothing, I think), who was the main narrator and guide in the game. It teaches about castles, what each room was used for, and things like that. In the intro to the game, the Jester says something, I can't remember what, but he at one point says "Medieval" and lightning flashes with thunder on the screen.

I know I didn't just dream it up, because I have such a vivid memory of it. Please, help?

Edutainment games are always hard to find, but that one is probably 3D Castle Creator by Crayola.

I have a glimpse of mid/late 90s game. Following are some memories;
1. It has a bubble-gun to catch crawling/walking objects, and they can also be killed by jumping on them. (like we have in game Bubble Bobble)
2. First round starts from a still train.
2. At some instances it has large square object with Halloween kind of paint on them.. and if you don't leave them timely they goes down in to the fire.
3. There are also large round object over them you balance yourself to pass the fire at the ground.
4. Round ends with a kiss, and there are some 21 rounds, and at the start of every round, a child (a family member) adds to the family.
I have spent days to look for the game but now luck. Lets see if someone else has played it and can recall its name.

Thanks.

I'm trying to remember a game i played awhile back. I remember distinctively turning into diffrent monsters. using these tokens you get when you kill monsters. Any way i think the first one is a tadpole. I do remember having to turn into the tad pole i the beginning to get passed a wolf or something. Anyway i know crystal is in the name. But can quite pick the name out.

I know it's about three years too late, and I don't know if you still care, but I've been trying to pin down the name of the same game for a long time. It's called Threads of Fate, released on the PS1 in 1999. I distinctly remembered playing the demo where you killed monsters, gathered coins from them and turned into them, and wanting to experience that gameplay for more than three minutes. Hopefully that's put it to rest for you too.

I'm looking for a couple of games I played on a CD from a magazine.

The first one is a puzzle game which objective is clear the screen exploding groups of the same color, like Super Collapse. But instead of square there are spheres and there is a maximum of 4 bombs. The music awesome. And it has the default mode of all screen and a 'history' mode with several puzzles to solve. The gameplay is as follows: when you click on a group all spheres are united with lightnings and tells you how many spheres will explode. If you click again the same color, then it explodes.

The other one is a kind of tetris where the pieces are squares divided in two diagonally. And the objective is make squares of the same color.

I remember this game I used to play at my uncle's all the time. It was a side scrolling shooter set in space on the PSOne. The graphics looked 3D as I remember, but I suppose they could have been 2D designed to look 3D. I think it did have a regular gameplay mode with full levels, but I only think I ever played the Boss Rush.
I remember the first boss was some sort of giant fish spaceship.
I remember the third boss being a gigantic spaceship and the background looked like the ocean at sunset.
I know many of these side scrolling shooters had alien and fleshy bosses later, but I only remember the bosses being other spaceships or at least mechanical in some way, until the last boss I remember reaching which was a weird sort of see-through glowing turtle with cores inside it that you had to fire at with your special weapons.

I'm trying to remember a game I played on PC around 2000. It was a 2D metroidvania style game where you played a young, chibi-looking vampire and you're looking for a princess I think. You gain powers and gain access to new areas. There's a knight character as well who you fight, he's definitely the final boss and his sword get's enormous and takes up like a third of the screen. Pretty simple but nice graphics, very japanese looking, chibi style characters etc. Any ideas are appreciated!

So there was this game I used to play as a kid, I think it was about 2006~2008 when I used to live in Costa Rica.
It was local fullscreen two player PC game where you had to fight each other. One person controlled a blue, I dunno, just some kind of round, fluffy (I think) ball with eyes and hands (and no legs probably), the other person a red one. It was a plattformer with several small maps to play on, also some underwater and snowy maps, and I think it was rather a pixel game. There were also items, like a jetpack, a flamethrower and other stuff, a normal shotgun too I guess. And of course you could just punch each other. It rather was a kids game since the was no blood and such, just a fun 2D, one-screen game.
I really used to enjoy playing this game with friends, even though it was such a simple concept. I hope anyone remembers it.. Thanks already!

Okay, having trouble trying to find this game. So heres some bullet points at the top of my head.

- PC Game Circa 90's to 00's
- Detectiveish mystery type game
- Top Down Perspective
- Main gameplay location is in a Mansion during a 'Party'
- You can walk outside and through the mansion
- I believe you are trying to find out who died (Can't fully remember plot)
- Same concept of the "Escape" type games, where it's point and click on items, combine items, use items, and i believe there is an item menu on the bottom of the screen
- You would have to 'talk' with guests to get clues or tips or useless info.
- Main character is White Male (I say this so you can rule out Nancy Drew? lmao and because it might help in narrowing thoughts)
- When you go in a particular room, there are several spaces where there is like acid or something that hurts the main character if you step on it
- (bit of a reach, so don't be held on this) i have a feeling the game started with the letter C or contained Case in it.
- It was included on a double (maybe Triple) disc PC Game Volume. (If you can find this out too, that would be an ultimate bonus, it included a derby game and racing games and other stuff from 90's - 00's)

If i remember anything else, ill add. Thanks.

Bumping my question

 

[veda]

Hello, I'm wondering if someone knows the name of one pc game I played around 10 years ago. I do not rembember much about it but it is basically racing game, I think it was going on somewhere in space. Tracks were indoors, in some caves or something like that, but they were not part of the environment around, they were lifted a little above the surroundings. I even think you could fell off the track and then be reseted, but not 100% sure. You could choose the color of the vehicle, and vehicles looked like wierd space motorbikes (don't think there were any wheels) made of crystal, sharp edges, and they were flying just a little above the track with a racer on top. Even think there were direction arrows down on the track. I know it is not much, but I really hope someone will recognize this game! Thanks

[Mxo Chen]

This is an impossible one...

PC Windows Game played at least 15 years ago.
- Similar to Monopoly
- Special part is the set properties can go up to 6/set different from Monopoly's 2 or 3/set.
- Uses red car as token
- 3 dices
- Somewhat squarish green map with only 1 way of travelling on it.
- Only one building in each property, you can upgrade the building type
- Seems to be controlled by keyboard+mouse.

Ok, so I've been trying to figure out what the game is for years but I sadly have little information on it so this is my last ditch effort.

It's a computer game that I remember playing around 2003ish. It has a medieval theme to it and like fantasy/magic. It had 3D graphics (I was 8-9 so maybe it was 3D to kid me) and was adventure or strategy base. It was kind of a kids game so I don't remember anything dark or violent about it necessarily. I have some vague memory of exploring between parts of town(s) and maybe even something about a golden egg haha. I just remember thinking this game was so cool and fun.

Anyway, there is a small chance it's a foreign game but who knows. Any help would be great!!

 

[Ednoshoes]

I'm trying to find an old point and click for the early 90's, I only had the demo but it started you played a teenager who was stuck in a giant hamster cage in space, trying to escape.
Been looking all over and cant find it. I remember it having pretty decent graphics.

Any clues would be amazing.

Thanks

Hey guys, I stumbled upon this thread on my attempts to search for this game that has been racking my brain since I played it the first and only time I've seen the game. No one has even since mentioned this game or anything similar to it. I played when I was young (9-12) on a PC running Windows XP, but I'm pretty sure it may have not been a PC game because it was contained in a folder with other games that I have since discovered are also not PC games (Balls 3D, Sonic 3 etc).
Okay so!

The game is a top down RPG (story driven, not arcade) I don't remember fighting mechanics or even fighting monsters but what I did play was that you started in a village after some story stuff and end up with a (gauntlet? arm brace thing?) and it was the main item of the game. It appears in your HUD with a jewel that becomes colored (red, blue) and was your main magic thing, being able to shoot fire (red) or switch to other elements (you find blue-ice (or maybe it was water) later on) and all I remember from this game is that you used the gauntlet thing to find secrets in the village and you could talk to people (text) that told you story stuff and clues and what-not (like legend of Zelda link to the past)

Thank you guys for maintaining this thread for four years, I wish I had found it earlier but I'm really happy you guys are still helping out other people find their old games again.

Hello ladies and gents. So a friend of mine was looking for this game for a long time and I am helping him a lot. Here is what he remembers.

1) He remembers playing this game during the 2000s (2005 to be exact).
2) The cover of the game was of a woman riding a dragon while holding a man's hand.
3) The game is isometric, 2.5D graphics like Diablo. And it also plays like Diablo a bit.
4) The main character is a bald guy and he starts the game in a cell.
5) He's not sure if the game is a PC game or a reboot.

That's all he remembers. We need all the help we can get to find this game.

 

[Raponi Raponi]

Hey I'm remembering an old pc game that comes back to me every now and then to bug me. I think it was a 90s computer game adventure? I can't remember a lot about it but I think the characters were all bears and you're in a camp (like a summer camp) trying to go home maybe? You have to do stuff for the bears obviously, cause puzzles. There was probably some sort of honey puzzle because bears ya know. It was definitely an adventure game/puzzle game sort of deal. Not much I can remember except for the bears and that I'm pretty sure it had voice acting.

One bit I remember a little more vividly is one part where a bear is sitting around a campfire and playing a banjo maybe? There was singing I'm pretty sure or at least playing instruments. Really the only thing I remember concretely is bears in the woods, adventure game. It's one of those memories that is so vivid until I try to remember it. It's not a lot to go on I know but this has been bugging me for actual years.

 

[Lozzanoodle]

There's this game that I can't remember I played it early 00's on computer and I think it had something to do with art maybe painting I'm not sure. There were different places to go I think a factory and a tent? If someone could help that'd be great! I'm Australian by the way if that helps at all!!
