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

[skettimon9]

Okay, so I made an account just for this question. Please, someone for the love of god, help me.

This game was a game I played back about 16-17 years ago. I'm 26 now. I remember playing it on windows 95 or 98. Before I go further, I talked to my sister about this game a year ago, and she remembers it too but it's almost as if the game never existed. I've been searching for this game for over 9 years.

The game was "educational", but upon opening it pretty much started up with no menu screen. It was side scrolling. You played as a frog that solved equations "mario" style, which is the only way I can describe that, but hitting the blocks in the correct equation with your head. There were also hopping numbers that came towards you that you could shoot with a grey blob. The shooting speed got faster depending on how long you lasted/how correct you got the equations.

The first level was like a gray castle and I remember the first number that hopped towards you to shoot at was a 4.

I remember only ever making it to the division level once, as the multiplication level was very hard.

There were also some mini games between certain levels that featured the same frogs jumping on lily pads.

There were no instructions on how to play, no menu screen and no title screen. You were given three lives and once all those lives were out then you started right back at the beginning.

I must point out it was NOT Number Munchers, Math Blaster, Math Rescue, anything with the Zoombinis nor was it any game you would have played in school like those were. This was a game I only ever played for three years on an old computer that my mom got from someone and I have NEVER found this game since.

Please someone help me. I search for this game once every couple months and if I didn't know my sister knew what I was talking about then I would seriously believe I made it up.

Thanks for any help!

Hello.

I'm looking for a PS1 fighting game was released late 90s or early 2000. All I can remember it was a fighting game like Street Fighter and there was my favorite character a photographer girl uses one of her abilities to shoot her opponents with camera flash to blind them. I also remember the cover was in anime art style, but the game play was 3D. Thanks!

Could it be Rival Schools?

Hello

I was looking for this game for the longest time but still can't find it. It's a game made by CAPCOM and was probably made around 1995-2007ish. At first you get free levels to play but after you complete them all you have to pay for the rest of the levels which are more advanced. The character is round and chubby (kind of looks like Kirby or Pacman) I'm pretty sure he was colored Yellow or pink unless I am mistaken. Basically in the levels you would hop around the map to collect these Jewels or Diamonds that stack on your head, avoiding monsters in the level who look devilish and you can press SHIFT which shoots an ORB that kills them or knocks them out depending on which monster it is since some since some aren't killable. If the monster touches you, you drop all the Diamonds/Jewels that are stacked on your head and you have to restart the level. Once you stack all the Jewels/Diamonds on your head you return to where you spawned in the level and once you go there you Rise up while spinning and complete the level, then it sends you to the next one.

BUMP

Hoping you guys can help.

PC Game, genre got no idea. Time frame 1997 - 2003.

I seem to remember point and click components though i'm not sure.

Had baddies that were ghosts though not full body ghosts just floating masks. In the game world you had colored orbs (Red, Blue, Yellow?) which could be combined to make another color. Each of the ghosts had a color they were weak against which you could use against them if they kept harassing you to banish them, as you were on the clock (i think? Clock was represented by a globe that had stars on it that started off lit and would die as time progressed) combining all 3 orbs would make a white orb which would cleanse the room you were in. To completely exorcise a ghost you had to find its color as well as the room it originated from and an item belonging to it. The ghosts while harassing you could block off your path to different areas so the only way to get rid of them was by using its color or if you had the item that belonged to them you could return it, though they would put it in a different place from where you found it. (I Think) So off the rooms i remember was a theater room as well as a hidden room which had a Mirror in it. The only safe room also had a creepy looking Jack in the Box by the exit.

If someone could help that would be great as it has been bugging me for 2 days now.

There is a game that I used to play like 2-3 years ago in an iPad 1. It is a medieval strategy game. I don't remember much but I only remember one part of the game which is probably enough information (I think). It is when the knight attack medusa, but to get to medusa the knight has to get through her 3 daughters. The background is like a medieval map I think. It has the same concepts of the game called "great big war game" with the same movements and how it attacks.

So I remember playing this game in 1996 for the PC (interactive fiction). You wake up and are in your cabin aboard a spaceship. It's a text driven game, early rpg, where you collect items to eventually (I think) escape whatever planet you've crashed into. I remember the game had some back talk if you typed inappropriate things.

I just thought of it for the first time in years... it was a game out in the early 1990s, and they had multiple sequels to it. It reminded me of Calvin and Hobbes and Spaceman Spiff, as you're a kid that goes into space and you fight blue aliens.

That would be Commander Keen.

I've done a bit of googling and this thread has come up numerous times, but not exactly finding what I'm looking for. There's 2 games:

1. It was a top down 2D single/multiplayer spaceship shooter game on the PC, probably on Windows 98. Very similar to the recently released Galatron on Facebook messenger, except the only distinct thing I can remember is that me and my brother could play co-op on it.

2. A 3D game whereby you were (I think) an explorer in some different levels. Again, on the PC for probably Win98. Don't think you could attack or anything. I seem to remember possibly one of the first levels being based around pyramids?

Cheers for any help guys!

Is maybe the first game Warblade?

I don't think so, as far as I'm aware there wasn't any opportunity to purchase weapons. I think it was just a case of an enemy would drop a power up and you'd fly over it to change your weapon. It looks similar though!

Anyone got any ideas? Not really that fussed about the adventure game, but this co-op space shooter is really playing on my mind!

It wasn't Evil Zone was it? I just don't remember a photographer.



I'm looking for a game I remember next to nothing about. It was on PS1 and you start next to your spaceship. It was a 2D game and all I remember was running to the right, shooting some aliens and running back to my ship because you could jump on top of it where it was safe. I remember it was all very brown looking and every time you jumped you rolled into a ball. It's been haunting me for years.

Sounds a bit like Heart of Darkness, except there you can only jump next to where the ship landed and not back on it.

More specifically, since you mention blue aliens, that would likely be Commander Keen episodes 1, 2 and 3, the "Invasion of the Vorticons" series. (There was also "Goodbye, Galaxy", which is Keens 4, 5 and 6.)

Looking at the screenshots of Galatron, it wouldn't be DemonStar by Mountain King Studios Inc, would it?

Ok, so a friend lent me this game years ago and I've been looking through game lists and cannot find it anywhere. So I've come to this... I'm going to try to describe it and see if anyone can guess it. Also, it is not Darkstone, but has very similar graphics and came out in the 98-2001 range.

It's a top down 3D RPG on PC(windows) with a very crude block lighting system where it fased to black after like 20 "feet". You start the game coming off of a small paddle boat on a river as you are returning home to see your father. You talk to a fisherman and the take the path to go to town or to your fathers house. The camera can rotate around and do some zooming. There are a few caves at first where you fight bears and stuff. There's some magic spells and you find some evil wizard cult has either killed or taken your father and they are after you too.
That's about as much as I can remember.

I remember the jewel case had very black artwork. I think it was 2 discs. the name escapes me, its like darkrune or dragonseed or something, but definitely not Dark Stone though very much like it.


EDIT: NM FOUND IT SOULBRINGER Found on Pintrest of all places.

That sounds like Planetfall.

So much yes, thank you.

- FPS
- Your character is on some kind of graveyard
- Enemies showing themselves behind tombstones (their heads sticking out, one by one) and shoot at you.
- 1995-2000 aproxx

Dunno if it was just 1 level of a demo game. But remember playing it as a kid once, and never saw it again.
Your character was anchored (couldn't move) and you only could see a gun/rifle.
As i remember, graphics were great for that age.

*bump*

Yes! I think that's it! I'll try and find somewhere to play it and double check, thank you!

Hi guys, so i joined the forums to digout two ancient flash games that i used to play all the time back in the day, but somehow i forgot the name of them and i have been wondering ever since.

The first game is basically a kid that stands behind a big person. The kid is only trying to do something harmful or harmless to the big guy inorder to go next in the line infront of a resturant or a cafeteria. the game gives the player many stuff and weapons to try out on the big guy such as nails, itching powder and such. all of those stuff and weapons usually backfire on the kid and harms him and not the big guy. the outro of the flash game had a cartoonish wooden plank with words on it.

The Second flash game is of basically a boring office day with workers just doing their work. the player can choose actions that can change the office into something fun like a disco night club, a paperplane fight and other funny things that can be turned into.

These are the two of many games that i would love to play again..

I will be extremely thankful to whoever got the strongest memory around this forum that can remember the names of those two games i mentioned.
