There's an old pc game that had to have been made in the 1990s. I think it was a point and click game that featured puzzles. It started off in this lab/house sort of thing and this professor/doctor was kidnapped and the aim of the game was to get him back. You needed to go to this evil man's castle and break him out of his cell I think the evil man might have been a vampire. Another part I remember is having to go past this area with a lot of clouds and you had to play a card game against sort of cloud people. The game was extremely bizarre and gave off a very creepy vibe, throughout the game the colors are very bright although at the evil man's castle I think it was a dark purple.
I'm not sure the cloud people thing fits, but as soon as you mentioned 'point 'n' click + bizarre, creepy vibe + bright colours', I immediately thought of The Bizarre Adventures of Woodruff and the Schnibble, a quirky Sierra game from around the same time frame you're thinking. It also starts with a professor (the protagonist's dad) being kidnapped.

Hello,
Lately I've searching all the games I played to as a child but there one which I just can't find, and been looking for it for months.
This is an old game with the main character who looks like a wizar, with a 'wizard' hat that he can use as boomerang to beat his ennemies. I thought the game was named Felix but I was wrong since I played it when I was very young.
The 'wizard' could jump on boats before they sink, and he can spin around himself.
Do you have any ideas?

Sorry but that's not it. The game I'm thinking of is quite an unknown game that's probably been lost in obscurity.

Here's one.. I've been trying to remember the name of this game for years now.. it's from late 1990's. You have control of some sort of floating battle Island (on earth i think, definetly not in space though), that you can build up as you like with catapults and defenses. Theme of the game is that you are battling other Islands.

Anyone have any flue??

I have been trying to find out what this game is. I remember you started off as a kid in a bed sheet ghost costume on a boat. The last level of the game was set In Bermuda and I remember sometimes you'd find a sniffing nose and when you pick it up it says use a triangle. Please anyone?

I remember two games, both fighting games for the PS2


1.) I don't remember much about this one, mainly that it's a 3D game and that there is a cat-girl character that has an attack similar to the Hadouken from Street Fighter (same button input as well). And remember that the final boss was unlockable as a character (last one to be unlocked). I know it's not much but maybe..


2.) As for this one I remember that all characters had weapons, one (if not more since I don't remember unlocked all characters) didn't have a weapon, but instead used his arm. The game allowed you to disarm the weapon, and from this character he lost his hand. I also remember the game had a floating sword/ invisible man holding the sword as a boss, this wasn't the only boss however, as I do remember defeating another one (btw I never managed too defeat the floating sword).



I know this isn't a lot but any ideas??
Your first one sounds like a Darkstalkers game, though I'm not seeing any on PS2 in particular. Might still be worth checking into.
Nah, that's not it....
was it them though? https://i.ytimg.com/vi/j9QfIC2u5Lw/maxresdefault.jpg

I remember a game for one of the Sega consoles where you would go around in sidescrolling levels shooting enemies with a soccer ball. I think you were a soccer player and that it was on a 16-bit console, but I'm not absolutly sure about the last part. Anyone has a name?

My first thought was Soccer Kid [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soccer_Kid].
Doesn't look like it was ever released for a Sega console though...

Guys, my game is an arena game with slightly polygonal textures if I remember. It is 3d, and there are multiple classes maybe? I remember a jetpack. You just fight. I can't remember any more, so any game ninja will be able to help me. I watched a video, and the main weapon you chose really affected gameplay. Might be for PC idk. Just remembered people falling off map. Its a stretch to think this little info will help, but please try. I think the name was like an abreviation, or just weird letters.

Thanks for your answer, but no unfortunatly this isn't it. I think the player were adults and it was a normal size soccer ball if that helps...

Sitting here trying to recall 2 gameboy titles... AGAIN! (blonde knight or viking bubble gum?! some strange kid that can transform into bugs or animals... both platform type games!) and the blonde knight/viking game had this one part where you have to jump a broken bridge, the bridge wasn't like a regular rope bridge, more like a long house that was cut in half bridge?

Prophecy: The Viking Child had a blonde protagonist, and the word 'viking' in the title.


Shantae was a lovely little game (that no-one ever played) for the Game Boy Colour where the protagonist could transform into monkeys, birds, and other things.


But those are stabs-in-the-dark. Any further information would be helpful. For instance, which Game Boy model did you play (Advance? Color? Vanilla?)? What year was this? What is viking bubble gum? Where can I get some? Why don't you just play Alfred Chicken instead? That was the best Game Boy platformer that didn't involve an Italian plumber.

Hi all,

I have a game that I can't remember the name of (1980's game I think). Sadly, I found the game a while ago and had it on my laptop, but I forgot to save it to a disc before I re-imaged it *facepalm*

Anyways, it's an Amiga 500 game, it has a top down viewpoint and I think it's based in a space station. What you have to do is put three parts of a robot together, and once you do so you can interact with computers etc and can shoot all these different aliens before they drain your power. I think there's 4 different levels that are part of the space station (A, B, C and D) and can transfer between levels using transport pads (I think there's a recharging port on level D). I think the idea is to eventually get off the station though I never got that far into it.

Hope that makes sense to someone :)
Nevermind, I found it. It's called First Contact.

I remember a very old DOS game, running in a IBM PC AT, where the action takes place into a labyrinth of caves, the avatar collects souls, that are changed in a bank for money,the money is used to buy weapons, and the first boss is a giant crab. Any clue?
