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

[dethklok129]

Hello, everyone!
I am here looking for any assistance of finding out a name of a game. =-)

About the game.
I do not remember how it started or what an aim or story was like. But it definitely was a strategy game. First of all you could choose your character. I do not remember exactly the number of different characters? but here goes the first distinctive point. I played a humanoid that could create of his blood some sort of allay soldier (homunculus or something like that). To create one the character sacrifised a part of his health, so you could not create a numerous army. Somewhy, you had to conquer planets. Every "level" you were showen a planet map and were allowed to choose one of the planets situated nearby. Some planets were unhabitant, and some were ruled by intelligent creatures and than you were given a need of dialog with different questions and answers, depending on your character's stats (like charisma, intellegence and so on). Some times you could conclude with peace treaty, some times induce to surrender, some times declare war and so on. All intelligent beings had one of the lasses you chose of at the start of the game. So every time you battle with another AI character. During the battle you came down to the planet surface and lead your army conquer one... well... let's call it "dot" (it's appearance was similar to a column or a pillar), located on perimeter and then the boss of the planet. You could go straight to the boss but then he would be stronger. The battle was not turn-based if I remember right.
Well, it is actually all I remember. You could increase your character's stat, gain new skill or make spells stronger and so on. And...
I may be mistaken but it seems to me there were some limitations on relocations and something else.
I played on WinXP but in compatibility mode with W98. Not sure. It was too long ago. May be on Win98... The graphic seemed to me very nice for those times. And the very game seemed rather hard.

I hope somebody will remember that game too.
Thank you very much in advance!

Sounds A LOT like the Master of Orion series. 1 or 2. Three didn't come out till 2003
If not, look up 4x games

Hi, i'm trying to find 2 games i used to play when i was like 3 or 4 years old. So, the first one was a 3rd person game in which you had to navigate in a spaceship through a tunnel and you had to open doors and destroy other spaceships.

The second one was a 3rd person motorbike racing game, the graphics where pixelated and you could even run over people walking on the street.

I used to play both games on my old PC

That's all i can remember from both games. Help me please! Thank you in advance.

No clue as to the first (I was going to say Descent, but that one's in first person), but my guess as to the second would be Road Rash [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0FHLH5OB0GQ].

Hi. I'd like to request some assistance.
I want to play a puzzle game in which you control an alien! The first sequence when you start a game is in a pig area with mud in which you can kill little piggies. you also land on a farm and you befriend a duck by removing some chackles off of him. I think thats all i remember. OH and you have to get a key from the farmer house to drive the car (also a playable sequence, where you can run stuff over).
I don't know if I get the reply notification on my e-mail but I will come here when I remember to! Thanks in advance. Have a great one.

So, I've been trying to figure out the name of this game for the last 2 years. I was playing it in the early 2000s, and it was a rts space conquest game. It had a race selection screen that was about 5 races in a green cryochamber like room and when you select the race, it gives a closeup of the creature in the chamber and the spaceship info and their strengths and weaknesses etc. That is the only part of the menu I remember.
The game play is an Eagle view rts and it is similar to the Civilization games, but there is NO game play on the planets themselves. It takes place entirely in space. It was 3d.
I've been looking for over two years and I've exhausted most all the Google keywords at this point. I really hope someone can help me. I'd really enjoy playing it again.

There was a game I played during the early daysin which I played on a PS2. It was a metroidvania style 2d platforming game complete with various weapon types and enemies, as well as key collecting progression style. The difference came from the overly graphic violence and the weird diseased looking alien enemies, reminiscent of something from Duke Nukem games. The the first boss was a giant spider creature that took up most of the screen.

I don't know if it helps, but I remember that it was old enough that it was on those strange blue discs that discs were rolling with briefly. I can't for the life of me remember what the hell the name was, but I want to find it again!

Hello

I have 3 games that i'm dying to remember them...

#1 a game called : The Adventure's of Smiley (or something similar) in this game there was more than a level (Space,Amazon,jungle,desert,underwater, and each level has a BOSS) the thing you play with is a green Half-Round thing no legs no arms with a smiley face (ofc) and every time you enter a level he/she/it says: SMILEEEY! some level had bees and some others scorpions snakes cobras and mosnters and one boss as i remember the jungle/forest boss i think was a MASK a flying mask. P.S. i can add more details if someone know's anything im talking about

#2 A Hotel room based game, you stand in the hallway of a hotel where there is more than a door that you can choose from and doors were like levels the only level i remember is there was a fridge with ketchup,mustard,mayonnaise and some bugs, and there was a red bulldozer (ball brick game) were you destroy buildings.EDIT: This game was a CARTOONY type game, and the room doors were twisted and bent,
While choosing the rooms and levels other character talks to you and make fun of you.

#3 crocodile/Dragon in a tower/castle, or something that's not the name but this on is easy to explain, there is a hungry crocodile/dragon in a tower/castle where you had to keep feeding it when it thinks of a certain food you had to feed it to it and something i remember about a chilli when you feed it to the dragon it breath's fire.

That's all i have for today, maybe more in the future. Thank you!

Hi there,

So this has been driving me crazy for far too long, and no amount of googling has been able to help me find it. I played this game at my cousins when I was really young, and I only have a vague memory of it.

If I had to guess I think I played it in the early 2000's, but since I have an awful memory I'd say that the latest it could have been released is 2004ish.
I believe that it was on Windows, most likely earlier than Windows XP.
So for the game itself, I remember the graphics being very bright and colourful, it was 3D with an isometric view.
I don't really know what the point of the game was. There were little people that basically went about their day. It was open world and I think they'd go between either a workshop or their house.
The thing I remember most prominently is that whenever there was a storm with lightning, all the people wandering about outside would get scared run into the closest buildings.

I know that it's not a great description, but it's all I have to go on. Hopefully someone knows what game this is!

 

[Stev231]

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.

Could it be one of Oasis series games?
Beyond Oasis - Story of Thor (the one I've played on Sega Genesis Emulator and liked a lot)
or the successor
Legend of Oasis for Sega Saturn (never got around to play it... yet)

Omigosh, thank you so much! This is what I've been looking for! You're such a great help, I can't thank you enough!

Now if only there were a forum like this to look up obscure movies....

 

[MeatThatTalks]

Ok, so it was an old PC game I wanna say in the late 90's early 2000's. It was a first person maze game in a medieval setting. You started down in the village and worked your way up to the castle level by level. You had to find keys in each level in order to progress and there were enemies in each level to avoid. I think there were like rats or bats in the early levels and then knights and stuff in the later ones. Early 3D graphics, all the characters were very boxy and relatively low res textures on the walls. No idea where I got it, it may have been on one of those game of the month discs or something idk. Thanks ahead of time.

This is gonna sound weird, but was it a game based on the film Dragonheart? Not the hack-and-slash one, a different one - kind of puzzle/adventure with mostly point and click controls, and occasionally clips from the film.

I vaguely remember a first person maze-type sub game with coloured keys to open coloured gates, and there was something to do with collecting gems or stones or statues as well.
It was certainly low-tech - I think it came as shovelware with a computer in the mid to late 90's. It had very basic 3D graphics in the maze bit (probably not even as good as Marathon), and non-rendered graphics (like Myst) for some other bits.
Can't really remember any more than that!

I've been looking for this game for years - YEARS - and you were one of the only other people on the internet I ever found searching for the same game.

Today, I finally, finally found it:

Hello! I am looking for a quite low tech 2D PC game. In this game, you could choose from a list of characters, humans and animals, and the objective was to try avoiding the predators that were on the board. I think the board was similar to a checkers one, but green and it tended to look like a forest, sort of like a maze. I used to play this game in the early 2000s, but it's probably a lot more older. If I'm not wrong, I think there were some fruit pickups as well, apples I believe(?), and it was a progressive game: when you finally reached the end of the first board or level, you could proceed to the next one. Thanks in advance, the description might be ambiguous, but it's all I can remember now. Cheers!

#1 could very well be Smiley's Adventure [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l60EhKL3hB0]
No idea about other two... Maybe I'll look into it and report back

 

[PsyDrag]

I'm trying to remember a 2D browser game from back in the early/mid 2000s.

The map was broken up into tiles and there were buttons to go north, south, east, and west. The city was in the middle of the map, with a port on the north side, and some areas to do quests and fight monsters on the south and east side. In the city, there was a rich and poor area, with buildings like a mage tower or a thief's hideout. I think you could also choose your "class" by joining one of the mage/thief groups.

It was multiplayer as well. A player held a balloon, and it was announced to all the other players who had it (it might have also said where they were located). The balloon made you "float", which gave you some sort of perk.

[Dresch]

Hello!! Can you guys please help me with this one?

-Played it on a windows demo disc

-As far as I remeber it was a dark medieval(?) fps or tps.

-probably from late 90s or early 2000, as it came together with thief: dark project, future cop lapd, roller coaster and warzone 2100 demos.

-As I remember there were 3 selectable characters, a mage with a staff (and a crystal on the tip), a barbarian with heavy armor and an axe? And a third character which I can't remember very well, probably a rogue woman with a knife.... Each character played on different levels

-I remember that in the demo it was possible to play a arena multiplayer mode.

 

[Jesus Zambrano]

Hello can someone help me?

I remember a game of a dragon or dinosaur from about 2000's, I think I've played it on windows 98, this dragon has to climb from platform to platform and dodge some water drops or purple drops, also I remember some snakes, I'm sorry for my bad memory but it was a long time ago.

It was definitely a Demo game that when you reached the end of the demo (i think 20 levels) it shows you more levels and a big boss that is a giant dinosaur.

 

[gergo314]

Hi guys!

I'm searching for an old point and click adventure game that I played on my mom's old laptop (somewhere between 95-99). I only remember parts of it, but i hope some of you have played with it

- The game takes place in a futuristic world (Earth maybe), and it's in a cartoonish stlye, like the ScummVM, Lucasarts, Sierra games
- You play with a guy who wears glasses and i think wears a white suit (not sure)
- You start in a place that looks like a construction site, and from there you can go to a subway station (in the toilet you got beaten up by some big guys, the train can run over you)
- There is an old house after that, where you get into an old apartment, where you can gather some stuff. I think there was an old lady you could talk to.
- The only "cinematic" i remember: You get into a flying car with a busty girl (she drives) and a big (white) dog. She brings you to an entrance of a futuristic mall (or some building). The entrance got a security robot-eye, that you can disable some way, but i think i only did it once
- In the mall (or some building) there are bunch of people moving, and i think that's where i got stuck.
- The graphics are very similar to Beneath a Steel Sky and Space Quest.
Any help would be great

(this game is bugging me for years, and posted the description on many sites, without any success )

Now i'm placing a bounty on the game. Anyone who finds it first, will get $20 via paypal!

 

[Lisark]

Hi everyone! My husband is in desperate, he tries to find this game for ages!
So, it's like Final Fantasy Tactics, but in 3D, It's on PC, this game is old, I don't know, maybe, 1998? You start in a house and the door is opening with a unpleasent sound. You can run around the town. That's all he remembers
All the proffession are like in FF Tactics, this game is tactical game, with anime graphics. Help, please!

 

[Matt Zachary Gonzales]

Okay I made an account just to post this about a game im looking for
It was a PS2 game and all I remember is the genre is RPG and you're a boy who is bringing a girl with you and you do choose to make her stay at a place where it is safe so you can go forward and kill the monsters to make it safe for the girl to go and after killing the monster you can call her and she will go running to you and you can also press a button to hold her hand. I really dont remember what the title was

That's probably "ICO" (2001).
