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

[soph032313]

There was a game I used to play on a PC, I think on a floppy disk. All I remember was that it was a platform game about dinosaurs and the only colors were teals and purples. Pretty pixelated. I played it in the 90s but it was probably older than that. You could play as a long neck dino or a triceratops.

Hi everyone.
I will try my luck on this forum as well . So, like everyone else , i am looking for an old game.
Time period : around 2004 ( i remember i was listening to USHER - BURN )
Type : Racing game on PC . It's like the toy game REVOLT, but with real cars in the real world. Tracks are inside cities , mostly time of play is during the day. So like REVOLT, you collect different traps during the race or you just have them somehow(I don't recall). But I know you could use these traps to get rid of opponents or even get a boost in speed or something or different advantages .
I remember there was some sort of GENERAL point system that would get higher with each race, and thus unlock more cars.
Thanks for your help in advance !.

Maybe Rollcage 2 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eK4zBylkqmk] or Mashed: Drive To Survive [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hAxzj4EVb_Q]?

I found the game : it's Downtown RUN. Thanks !

Hmm there is this game I used to play when I was really young.

It was on CD. It was a bunch of mini games in a carnival setting, overview look. It had a pretty creepy vibe for me. Looks like it was made in paint, like really basic color scheme. I hope I can remember, or if anyone remembers.

Hey, i am losing my mind trying to remember the name of a side-scrolling shooter i played in an arcade sometime between 1980 and 1990. it was a silver robot hovering above the floor, left to right shooting all sorts of enemies and avoid changing terrain. It wasn't in space, more on a planet, a lot of green surfaces below. It sported some pretty epic music in some sort of silver armor...not much to go on, but it was mega-addictive...any help would be appreciated.

Maybe Atomic Robo-Kid [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiaUQLFhXig]?

Thanks for that, but this is not it. It was only scrolling left to right, you couldn't stop it either, it just kept moving.

Hello I really want to know if anyone heard of this game. I remember there were bugs moving all over the screen and you had to cut and cut from the screen so you make the place where the bugs would move smaller. You played with your up, down, left, right keys and it was 2d with really old graphic ... I played it in the 90' but it could of been older much older.
Thank you in advance.

Hmm. Perhaps Magmax [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B_kdVE5reBU] then, or (probably a long shot) Atomic Runner Chelnov [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xr6C5vX5YxM]?

Kids insist they played this game but I have no memory of it whatsoever.

Player 1 was a blue ball with arms and legs. Player 2 (if present) was a pink ball with arms and legs. If you got a "power up" during the game, your character turned green. They also said you won the game by reaching the end and battling something that looked like a giant brain.

Guys I can't remember the name of the game it was AWESOME . First person game , with magic powers . I remember the guy wielding the sword pretty hard : I remember telekinesis , Fire spells , I character had a sword and I guess you had to kill some kind of monsters , maybe ORCS ( definetly not people ) or idk . Maybe you could scavage the corpse for better swords / armors can't remember . And you had shortcut from 1 to 6 if I remember corectly. It was somehow like Skyrim .

This sounds very similar to JezzBall. You probably want to start with looking for games similar to that; there's a ton of them.

That'd be Detana!! TwinBee [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gOmsBZyinUY] (also known as 'Bells & Whistles'). The power-up actually makes GwinBee (a third, green version of the heroes) fly uncomfortably close to your character, because he has no concept of 'personal space.' >.>

Would anyone please help a kid out lol. It was my childhood game, it was a game about farming and theres many plants but i just remember the tomato and this girl which you play was the main character. I forgot but i think you can sell stuff in the game.

Edit It was on a wildtangent game, that crap was my game inventing skills

If someone can help me, I remember two games from my childhood that my friends and I used to play in at the school's computer lab.

One game had a mascot or something that it was a farmer worm, if I'm not mistaken, and he had many animal friends living in this town where you could help them out with fires and a lot of puzzles. My teacher used to say the worm's name was Bob, but I looked for it and couldn't find anything. The game was very fun because you had a lot of puzzles to do around the town with different characters. Minutes would go by and we wouldn't even notice. This game also had a cartoon on TV, I think.

The other game I remember more vaguely. It was in an ice mountain, I think. And you had to collect snowballs or something like that in order to progress to the other levels.


Thanks!

The first one sounds like it was based on Richard Scarry's Busytown. There were three games for Mac and Windows computers.

The second is probably Super Solvers: Treasure Mountain!

okay so there's a game that has itched in the back of my head for years.
I believe it was on Dreamcast and I never got to see it through to the end.

It was a live action game with scenes that played based on your decisions. And you were sort of an outside force. A father had a computer chip in his head or something and you controlled him by just making a choice out of 2-4 options (up down left and right). Sometimes it would simply be "go left or go right", other times the choices would be a little more interesting (for example, a bear approaches you at one point, you choose to go left or right and you die, however, you choose the "down" option and the man drops to the floor and plays dead). another option i remember is a choice between two cars to take, one was a yellow rail buggy i believe. i don't remember the other car...

If anyone could help me with this and allow me to see it to the end i would be so thankful

While it's for SEGA CD and not Dreamcast, that is definitely Wirehead developed by The Code Monkeys, Ltd.

Side note: I now know what I'm watching on YouTube later...

I've been trying to find a game for years now, and all I can remember is as follows:

The style as I recall it, was VERY similar to the platform "Jelly escape", though I could be wrong and my imagination could be that of a wild small child...
You played as a blob or a jelly, or a puddle or SOMETHING along those lines
You were meant to complete puzzles or tests?
It was a platform game
The most distinct thing I remember was that there was a scientist in the background... interactive almost? It was a live background. A mad scientist who took notes, poked the glass tank you resided in, etc.

I've been desperate to find this game and REALLY want any help I can get! Thank you so much!!!

This is either a Windows 95 or 98 game, can't remember which. I also don't know for sure, but I seem to remember this game being part of the OS, like I didn't have to install it. I may be wrong about that, I was less than 10. It was an army game that had 3 or 4 different games bundled into one. I remember 3 of them. They were all side-view 2-D games. In the first you were some bomber plane and had to bomb specific targets; this one I don't remember as well. In the second you were a tank in a desert, the screen was constantly side-scrolling like super mario and you had to shoot these trucks that would come and try to shoot you. The graphics were bad (90s), I remember the bullets just being little white squares. In the third game, it was basically a shooting gallery, you had a static view of some buildings, enemy soldiers would appear in the windows and shoot at you, and you had to shoot them. I remember when you shot them there was a considerable amount of blood, at least for a 90s game.

I can't remember the name, and can't find it online when I try to describe it. Any help is appreciated, thanks.
