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

[LostLobster]

Im looking for the title of an old children's pc game from around 1998-2003 I think.

The game starts outside with a haunted house. There's no main character (just the cursor) and a ghost skeleton thing opens the front door and dares you to come inside. Once you go inside by clicking the door the door gets locked. Your goal is to make the key to be able to escape the house. You travel along different rooms where you do certain tasks like object finding games etc.. Under the stairs theres a door which leads to a room where with vacuum (i think) and you need to make or find (idk anymore) ghosts.(I think you had to vacuum the ghosts first but I might be wrong)

Sorry for my bad english <3 hope someone know what game im talking about..

I have been looking for a game i played when i was really young, it was a cartoonish looking ninja. The ninja wore blue and i can't quite remember the objective of the game but i ran around collecting coins. I would go through these weird pathways like i would have to balance while rolling on a path in the air or i ran around walls to walk up them. It wasn't a popular game i just can't remember it.

No idea if it fits the time frame (as you didn't really specify one), but I-Ninja from 2003 is a game with a cartoonish ninja in blue running around, and there's coin collecting involved. Here's a video:

i'm looking for a strategy game, i played it approximately before 15 years ago and i remember it's about move the blocks to make a way to go next level, it's similar to these game (chip challenge, boxyboy, but the most similar boxxle game) i remember it's a 2D game like (mario) and you can jump , move right left and when you move i think it's make some sound effect, you play with a small character and i hope someone remember it.{it's on windows98,or 2000).

I'm so glad I found this place on the internet.... I remember a game in which there was no real objective... there were ragdoll-ish physics, it was in 3d, the walls were always profusely green, and pink... I can't remember where I found an image of this game, but I believe that it's for the PC. I remember finding this game on an old PC tower of mine, one with windows 98 SE (or something like that)... ARRRRGGHHHGHHGUUUUGGHGHGHH
it's killing me not to know the name of such software....

Alright, everyone ready? This is a doozy because it's one of those miscellaneous mini game collections for little kids. I have gone everywhere looking for it but have turned up nothing. I'll give as much detail as I possibly can from what I can recollect from my 2-3 year old mind. It was a night/bedtime themed game, there were probably about 5 mini games in all though I could be wrong. I'd say the age range would be anywhere from 1995-2000, but no older than 2002. The two mini games I remember are as follows: 1. A drawing game where you had to trace an outlined figure to make whatever it was that was depicted, I think, I'm 95% sure that's what it was. The second I remember involved stars in some way, maybe making shapes from them like constellations. You had a sort of companion and I'm pretty sure it was a dog or something, an anthropomorphic talking one, who was also a little kid and the story was something along the lines of he couldn't sleep so the two of you would play the games "together". When you exit the game that's when it would ACTUALLY be bedtime. I also remember something about a crib (in the main "hub" I think) and maybe a crescent moon hanging on the mobile of said crib. There are other small fragmented memories here and there but nothing I can hold onto long enough to put them into words. I doubt this will turn up anything but I found this and figured it couldn't hurt.

This game was a free PC game. I remember playing it on and off through 2010-2012 probably. You got to customize your character first then play. it was sort of 3d but not great graphics so don't take my word for it. it was and adventure/quest/mission games that had other people and missions in it and you went round the woods and other places on a map and defeated monsters like goblins or wild boars. Up until now I thought it was called Shadow Quest but when I search it up it just comes up with newer games. I'm pretty sure it had the word shadow in it like shadow hunter etc. etc. I remember a specific scene where a little girl has her necklace stolen by a goblin and you have to find it.It wasn't too old or popular but I cant be sure. Any suggestions welcome no matter how far off they are

2 games it would be nice if someone helped ^^
first one is a racing game. back view, 3d graphics and it was pretty old. 200x or some year like that. the intro was a comic and when you chose your track it was a top to down choice. races cost cash and you could upgrade your caars quite a bit. you could give them custom spoilers and paint and stuff like that. there was this white car with 2 blue stripes, a corvette, one of those wolswagen (if thats how you spell it) cars that look like they're half of a circle, "maluch" (look it up i dont know the english name for that car) and "syrenka" (forgot the english name too) it was on a windows pc (i think it was xp but theres a small chance it was vista)

2nd game: 3d top down penguin game. you jump on platforms, there are also mines that explode when you jump on them. there were a few worlds and i think they were: the ice one, some pirate one with barrels, sewers and a volcano world. im pretty sure it got or was a sequel.

if anyone remembers them please post the name

Ok, there are 2 games I am trying to remember but I can't.

The first game was a tactical turn based game in WW2. You would control a small squad of maybe 4 or 5 units and they would have their own characteristics. For example the sniper could take an entire turn to do a perfect shot that had a 100% chance to hit so long as the target was in line of sight. I know you were able to play as the Germans, but I do not recall if you could play as others. I think you were also able to upgrade equipment. This game came out between 2002-2004.


The second was a RTS set in WW2. I can remember 1 level and it was of the German campaign. You had this massive artillery piece that could hit a target from any point on the map, or at least almost any point on the map. But before you could use it you had to destroy 2 or 3 listening outposts that would have zeroed on the artillery and would lead to its destruction causing you to fail as you needed to destroy an objective. Again this came out between 2002-2004.

I can't remember the name of this old side scroller 2D rhythm PC game. It had 3D graphics but was in 2D. A very cartoony and colorful game. You play as an alien/creature, probably an astronaut, who automatically runs (you can't stop) and there are bubbles with arrows in them and each time you get near the arrow you have to press the correct arrow and then does a dance move. Each stage has different music/soundtrack. There were bonus levels in each stage that you jump on a trampoline and there are a few seconds where you have to press as many green arrows as you can. The world hub where you choose worlds looked like a maze. That's all I can remember. I played it like 8 years ago. Thanks!

There was this cd I used to have that had small, 3D games on it. It also had some listed at the bottom. The menu had them all in these rectangle boxes on a blue or dark purple background. One of these games was one where you had an alien in a field and you had to shoot these green caterpillar esq creatures that came down from in front. Another was a pretty neat mini golf game, another space invaders type game and a game where you hit a ball upward into blocks to break them all. There was also another weird game with planes I think, or ships but the setting was this blue ocean type thing that went on forever and you shot at other planes and the controls were confusing as heck.

Perhaps Mevo & The Grooveriders? http://www.mobygames.com/game/windows/mevo-the-grooveriders

Old puzzle PC game from 90s(?)
It's an isometric puzzle game, turn based in a way that everything moves only when main character moves. You control Indiana Jones type of guy, there are traps, spiders, jewels, doors. Action takes place in some kind of tombs, all the characters are tiny on the screen. I think in addition to isometric view, the levels are tilted, so things sometimes roll down. When spider gets to the square next to you, it uses web to put you in cocoon and you die. Plus - moving crates, I think looking for keys, etc.

Hey guys, great place you have here. I can't remember the name of this game for Windows I used to play around 1997-2000. It was a cinematic platformer with a game engine that looked very much like Abe's Oddysee. You could either play as a human trapped in a maze, who had to escape from a horned beast (can't quite remember how it looked like) through a series of doors and platforms or as said beast, who had to kill the human. It was some kind of mixture between Oddworld and Blackthorne. I think you could also use guns too... I've been looking for this game everywhere. ?Thanks in advance!

 

[markimoox]

i know my mom used to play this game but it was on the computer, was about making civilization and you were on an island as a tribe and they had like the grass skirts and what not, you could check on their status, make a family and i think there was a waterfall, it was also pixelated. i know it wasnt harvest moon at least i dont think or stardew valley, it was almost like that but very very pixelated and i THINK you could drag the little people around and make them do jobs. yeah im pretty sure you could drag them bc i think thats the only way for them to move. what game was it ugh

 

[Clint Daniels]

Ok, Here's one for yall that is going to be difficult. This has been driving me insane for 3 days now.

it was a top down (i believe or something very close to it), you were in a space ship or something and you could move around the area with jump jets. You had opponents that you shot missiles, napalm and nukes at. Something along the lines of Scorched Earth or Worms. I played it as a kid (we're talking 15 to 20 years ago now or a little longer) I believe it was an old DOS game on my grandmothers computer.

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

Ah, is it by chance "Fiber Twig"?

Yes, it is! Thank you so much for the info

This might be "Hunter Hunted" (1996).

Could it be Indiana Jones and His Desktop Adventures (1996)?
...I don't think it matches fully, but maybe I remember it wrong. Haven't played it ages.

Might be Virtual Villagers. Probably one of the first ones in the series.
