---I played it on MAME32.

---There was this mysterious looking guy in yellow(and/or blue), with a hat (i think) at the beginning of the game, i think it was an intro of the first level.

---Also, I think he was in an elevator or something.

---As for the actual game, I have no memory whatsoever what it was. It's just the "intro" that I can not-so-vividly recall.

Does anyone remember the 2-D graphic PC game where you breathe fire and solve puzzles and it's a dinosaur spelling type adventure game where he sometimes mumbles, "Where's the mother-in-law?"

Hey, fellas! So seeing that this thread is still strong, I had to comment on this.

The game I am thinking of is a PS1 game that my father bought me in '99 alongside Jade Cocoon and Star Gladiator. I really liked the game, but didn't get far in it at all (it got cracked in half by accident. Not because of game rage 😂).

The game was in 3D and it was in 3rd person. It started in an Artic/Antartic-like tundra landscape and I remember always having to fight off wolves at the beginning of this open-world level. There was also this Igloo/Cavern thing in this tundra that had what looked like ninjas hugging the walls until you got near them and tried to kill you? I dunno. I never got farther than that and kept on trying over and over until the game cracked a couple days later (I was 9 and never played a game like that before lol). The game also has this health system where every time you get hurt, you'd hear your heart beat faster and faster until you died.

Whenever I say this, people always say it's the first Tomb Raider, which it wasn't. I know for a fact it wasn't Tomb Raider.

Old game from 1999 - 2000 ish? There's something about a red fox pirate and is 2D/side scroller. Captain Claw seems similar but doesn't jog the memory. Played it on PC but I'm not sure if there are other platforms you could have played it on. It may or may not have been a kids game, but definitely played it then. Thanks in advance + sorry for vague description!
Red fox...long shot, but could you be thinking of one of the Skunny games? (He's a squirrel but apparently quite often mistaken for a fox...)

Possibly Titus the Fox? I had it for the Amiga, but it was apparently also released on PC.

Hi everyone!

I'm looking for an old game that I must've played around the time I also played Lost Eden - so a while ago.

It was PC and realistic-cartoony. My few vague memories show me a first-person clickable "sideface" view where I'm in the desert with a blonde girl with (I think) a blue dress and I have to help her because I -think- she's escaping someone. There is a well we can go to but nothing to get water with, I just remember having in my inventory a sort of decorative hair comb that the girl's mother must've given her. I was stuck there for ages and never went further and it's been bugging the hell out of me!

There is also a very old one where you wander around a sort of high tech complex with similar graphics to the 3D maze screensaver, and there are bad guys and sometimes there are cages with electric-rays bars? I'm pretty sure either the hero or a category of bad guys is a dude in a blue tech suit with a big mustache and no it isn't a weird Mario ;)

Thanks everyone!

First one is King's Quest 7.

(Edit: And the second one may be a Blake Stone game, now that I think of it.)

Hi.

I just remembered a game i used to play back at the end of the 90's - beginning of 2000's.

It was a 2d god view pc game, where you controlled a red haired soldier girl fighting german nazi soldiers that came from all around the map and you had to keep dodging bullets and getting new special guns that spawned randomly in the map.
I suspect the name of the game was X-Factor, but i am not sure and i also cant find the game when i search for this name.

Does anyone remember and know where i can find it? =)

Hi.
I remember a game I used to play in 2010 - 2014 (I'm not sure...).

The game was on the site friv.com

In the game you was falling down and shooting to monsters.
You could be knight, priest etc. You could change character during the game.

At the end you find key and rescue the princess.

The game could be for two players.

I have screenshot of the game's icon (the one with wizard):

Hi guys. I really need your help.
I have been looking for two old games that I played in my old pc. These games were for a demo disc from the late 90s and early 2000s. My old pc had Windows ME.

For the first game, you are in a lab where a mutant is tied to a table then he managed to escape and started to chase you. You hide in something like a basement where a cop lies hurt.

For the second game. I can tell it was an open world.
It was on an exotic planet.
It was in 3D
The characters where also mutants, they could run alot and you can choose one among four of them.
The colors were very dark and neon.

If this can help the demo cd also had Future Cop: LAPD in it.

Sorry for the vague clues.

Love you guys

Hello everybody
I'm new here, and need your help
Several years ago I played a desktop game this don't remember the name of it
It was a 2D game with some 3D effects, it was like Ryman maybe you should discover the and, the land was so big , you could come back to the previous scene , there were some nature enemies like hidden snakes or jumping frogs, many jewels and many places to visit and discover, there were some small shops trunk shape and you could buy something or improve your weapons or buy maps but the shop wasn't open all the time, at the end You had to find a key to open the last door to reach the lord to beat him to go to next level.
Can you please help me to remember the name of the game?
by the way the game wasn't playable with mouse only arrow keys and keyboard
Please help me was super interesting with beautiful music

Thanks

The second game pretty much sounds like "Evolva" (2000).

I'm looking for a puzzle arcade game for pc. It has a magical/enchanted forest theme. The gameplay is something like a pipe puzzle game where you rotate the pipes to complete the level. I think it was something from the mid-2000's because I was playing games like Diner Dash and other games similar to PopCap games.
Anyone know the name of the game? I really want to know this for so long 'cause I remember it's soundtrack/BGM so soothing and relaxing because of the magical forest theme.
Thanks
