Hey guys, need your wisdom

Im looking for a PC puzzle-platformer from the early 90s. The stages were in some of pyramid. The main character had a backpack and a baseball cap, vivid colors. I remember snakes and treadmills. The game reminded me of montezuma s revenge but was more sophisticated with better graphics and sound

Please help!

Thanks

so i remember this game from my childhood and my older sis and i want to find it. its an old windows xp 90s (i think) top down racing game. i remember there being 2 types of cars (maybe more) but one was like one of those cube cars and the other was just a 2 door sedan. you could use oil slicks on the other racers and you could upgrade your car, like the engine, chassis, transmission, etc. there was also a map that kind of went in circles but it was surrounding a volcano. you could also set best times and race your ghost. i also remember there being a map on a hill where you could drive off the side to a lower road to get ahead. please help, we would appreciate it if we could get some help in finding this old game.

hey zion. thanks for the reply

its not justpack. the protagonist actually walked. the camera was closer to the character and the similarities to miontezuma s revenge are mostly in the atmosphere / decor. it doesnt really play as montezuma. the screens are way smaller (maybe a couple jumps before raching the new screen)

Hello guys first of all I would like to start by apologizing for any spelling mistakes, english is not my native language. Right to get to the point I usually don't bother with this kind of things like searching old childhood videogames but my interest has been piqued, recently I watched the Alien movies, I don't know why but I got a feeling and since the game I'm looking for might be related(not 100% percent) right I do not want to tire you so I'll tell you what I remember,

Firstly I'm pretty sure I played it maybe more than 10 years ago, It was played on windows xp if I'm not mistaken It was a strategy game, I think it had 1-3 factions but I'm not entirely sure humans and some sort of Alien species(black if I remember xenomorph maybe) I think it did not have a lot of base building more like capturing bases you could post marines on towers I think I remember alien first mission was a snow based map(I think you started with 5-15 aliens and you had to make it through the map fighting human faction). So that's all I remember, sorry if I make it hard guys.

I saw this site and realized I had to make an account to find the game I'm looking for. I'm 17 now and I was thinking about this old PC game that I used to play as a child. I used to go over to my friends house and we would play it together. I will describe it to the best of my memory, but this was probably around 2006 when I was 6 years old, so remembering every detail is hard lol. But it was this game on PC, you had what I would call a pinball, and you could control the direction of the ball with the arrow keys if I remember correctly, I don't remember the object of the game, but there were big wide open maps and you move the ball around and have fun. I specifically remember like there being tornadoes and weird other things to interact with. If anyone out there has any clue what I'm talking about, I would be so happy to have these memories come back to me through this game. Thanks!

it was all pixelelated and you had soldiers in villages you would go out and collect crystals ?
the villages gave you gold and i believe it was top down

most prominent thing i remember is The dragons if you heard a dragon roar it means a dragon is near and it'd come by and attack your units

it was like 16 bit and on the computer

Hi everyone! I have a fairly old game I (and others around me) remember playing, but no amount of Googling managed to turn up any trace of it. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Details:

- It was a Windows 95 game (maybe even older, but I doubt that).
- It was a "Whack-a-mole" style game starring gophers (or a very similar animal).
- In each level, there was a theme (wooden room, garden or even the moon where the gophers had little space suit helmets)
- In each level, you had to hit a predetermined amount of gophers on the head with your mallet - if you failed to do so, you lost one mallet (which represented lives)
- There were other items that could "poke" out of the holes - some of them positive (extra mallet, chameleon, bomb that hit eveything on screen etc), some of them negative (a trap that caught your mallet, moai statue, alien and others)
- Every five or so levels there was an "intermission", where the gophers formed a choir and sang a "tune" which you had to reproduce by clicking on them in the correct order - if you did so, you won an extra life (mallet)


...that's pretty much it. I can remember the visuals and everything in detail, but that does not help me in any way :(

Once more thanks for any help!
I've been looking for this one, too.

I'm looking for a browser game (it has some sequels), I used to play it between 2007-2010 I think
You didn't control the main character, you controled other things on screen and you had to make him ashamed in front of everyone (specially girls)

Hey guys, i have a game that i am just dying to remember and can't seem to find it anywhere. It was a game set in Ancient Egypt. I don't remember much but it was an adventure game where you had to solve certain puzzles and what not. I remember there being like pillars and hieroglyphic puzzles you had to solve. At the beginning i remember there being some sort of car or something that they stole from a pyramid maybe? There is boats to go to Egyptian places too. Also remember it being in the 90's sometime. If anyone could help me that'd be great! :)
Any followup on this game? I am looking for the same game. It's killing me that I can't find it or remember what it's called!
A quick Google search using the phrase, "quest game with egyptian theme" revealed to me a game called Curse of the Pharoah: The Quest for Nefertiti. IDK if thats the game your looking for. I never played it. Hope this helps.


I think I finally found the game. Clue Finders 4th grade adventure: Puzzle Of The Pyramid

Okay, so there's this game I used to play in middle school (so 2006-2008) in the computer lab off some game website with my friend. I can't recall the name of it but I vividly remember in the beginning it would show a character like hand drawn at first to show it crashing and then the animation changes to like these characters that are all black except for their eyes and most of them are in these blue robes so you don't see their bodies and you go around a castle looking place to gain like staffs and powers and your character can like sneak up and smother them and that's as much as I remember. Thanks.

Hello, I was hoping that you could help me name these games that have been on my mind lately

The first is a ps1 game that a turned based RPG similar to Final Fantasy. The in game battles are similar to that of Final Fantasy 9. What I remember of this game is that your a male character and when you first start the game you need to fight a red hair female who ends defeating you. For some reason after this battle you have to travel with a girl that seems like a white mage to different places. After certain story progression the girl transforms into the same red hair female you fought at the start of the game. Its like two people trapped in the same body but only one is present at a time. She stays as a party in either form as far as I remember. If it helps later on I pretty sure you get to a jungle area where you have to fight a boss that's a lion who stands up and talks like a human. He's first hostile but joins your party after the patty.

The second is also a ps1 from images I think its an overhead third person, so your looking down at an angle to the character. In this you would travel through various dungeons fighting various monsters such as goblins, vampire etc. Your character had a deck of cards which you could choose from and throw into the field, which would then summon monsters you collected/brought into the field and they would fight of the enemy. What I remember is that the first level was a castle and you first fought of the skeletons to learn the moves until you could kill the boss which was a vampire. After the level was complete a roulette would spin giving you a chance to get a new card. The second level I think was set in a graveyard.

If you can help in any way thanks!!!
Two years later and I finally found out the name of the first game. First one is 'Grandia 2' on the playstation 2. The second one i found out a while back. Its called 'Lost Kingdoms' on the Gamecube.

Howdy all,

This one has been bugging me for years. There was a game I played on a demo disc back in the mid nineties, maybe 1994/95. I think I played it on Win'95 as opposed to DOS, but I can't be sure of that.

It was set up a little like Super Metroid or Abe's Odysee in that levels were the whole screen and you'd move to a new screen to progress, usually navigating from the bottom left to an exit on the top right. The protagonist was your standard Conan the Barbarian style muscle-man, but I can't remember if there were guns or swords. Either way, it was pretty violent. There were creatures patrolling - I think they were Orcs or Ogres or some-such thing, and they bled when you killed them. A lot. You would also rescue chained up villagers, but I think you could kill them if you wanted to.

I can't remember the setting, although it was fairly bright. I'm thinking maybe slightly gothic sci-fi, but for all I know it could be Medieval. The memories are so foggy.

I distinctly remember you could grab ledges and climb up, but it was a slow, laboured process. Much more an adventure slash-em-up than a platformer.

I know this is crazy-vague, but I was pretty young at the time. I think it was on a demo disc with DOOM 2, one of the Catacomb sequels (no idea which) and... Gah, can't remember.

Anyone got any ideas?


****EDIT****

BLACKTHORNE!!! IT'S BLACKTHORNE!!! I finally found it when i recognised the game over / death screen from a google image search of "pc game 1994 blood platform" xD
Oh wow, what a nostalgia hit.

There's this game I used to play as a kid 7-10 years ago on the DS. All I can remember is that you could get into these sort of mech battles where you are on the inside of your mech and had to pick up ammunition and stuff to launch at your opponents mech by dropping it in a tube or something. I think you could even launch yourself to the enemy mech and destroy / damage it from the inside. And for some reason I also remember there were cats as enemies or allies. Really hope one of y'all knows this game despite the lack of description, I played the heck outta that game.
