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

[Ysthea]

Hi,

I need help locating a ps1 game I can't really remember. The details are a blur to me since I was young .. all I remember is that it was a 2d rpg, and there was this gloomy village that I think there were sick villagers? the whole scenery looks greenish and I needed to go in a certain cave wherein I found some tubes that were leaking and broken carts.

I played it around the 2000s, any help would be greatly appreciated

Hi! I have many troubles with finding an old game that I loved, so I add "a description" below and I hope it would be helpful for you to recognize it

The screen of the games was kinda like in Bomberman (I mean one-screen game). The background was always black and there was a few rooms with white borders. The aim was (I guess) to escape myself or someone else and the main character was wizard or ghost. It could also contain keys, monsters etc, but I don't really remember what was the true purpose of each level. At the begining of every level the character appeared in some crazy way, like circles or something. The score and all of it was at the top of the screen (on 90%).
Unfortunately I even don't remember the console - it should be Atari, Commodore or Nintendo, but I'm not sure any of it

I hope that maybe some of you have flashes of that game or even recognize it, it would be a HUGE RELIEF to me and I would be really thankful )))

Hey all, there are quite a few awesome old games you guys reminded me of throughout this thread, and I'm not sure if this one was in there but if someone knows it please remind me of the name! It's been driving me crazy! Ok so its an old PC game (probably late 90's - early 2000's) and I remember the intro to it is a video of a guy being strapped into some kind of chair or control pod with cables being jacked in to him. The game basically lets you control these... holographic tank things and flying ships in a battlefield and you can switch from 3rd person control to being able to directly control the individual vehicles. That's about all I remember of it. I'm sure I will recognize the title once someone says it. Thanks for your help guys.

Hello!

I've been trying to find this game for years and I haven't had any luck, it's been so long I can't really remember the specifics too well, I think I found it on an old multi pack of games/game demos and I'm pretty sure I found it by accident.

What I can remember with certainty
It was on windows (I'm leaning towards 98), it was an overhead shooter (like zelda), there was split screen, plenty of guns, I don't think it was an office space but it was clearing fairly small rooms, it was released during the mid-late 90s (the graphics may have been simple but they certainly weren't ugly)

What I believe I remember correctly (it was about 20 years ago after all)
The graphics were above a standard nes game, you collected packages or something similar hidden in the level and it's POSSIBLE it did something along the lines of Operation Inner Space and used icons from your computer for the collectables. It wasn't quite as flashy as zombies ate my neighbors but I think it played in the same sort of style (collectables, not neighbors), split screen play was co-op, I don't believe it was head to head but it may have been. More packages, more money, more powerful weapons (I'm not sure if it actually had a plot or anything)

Thank you for the help

Hey I hope someone sees this, But i have an old game or two. 1st one, it was an old mech game, I just remember fighting off another red mech and if you died, you got a cut scene that showed a screw or drill going through a human skull, like x-ray.

The second one is, the opening scene showed I think 4 guys wearing red armor, and this robot(looked like a droidicka) killed almost all of them in a tunnel.

If anyone knows anything let me know!

could it be Gauntlet? If someone says "wizard", "ghosts" "keys" and Bomberman-like view the first game that comes to my mind is gauntlet.

Ok so I have been looking for this game for ages and am starting to think i imagined it.Its from the early 2000s and it could be single or double plaer. The characters were two cooks and there was fruit failing and stuff and you would need to jump around a lot.I think I played it on windos 98 n that is all i remember.

Hi guys and girls , I want to help me up with the title of this game I play as kid. It was first person /simulator (maybe) battleship gunner shooting game. The only thing I remember is that you are the machine gun place and you taking down airplanes, WWII perhaps, those planes mush be Zero's, but can't find any games. The graphic was more that impressive for a old PC. Date and time period of the game is unknown (it was second hand pc running Windows 98). That's is all I can say.

Hello everyone!

I used to play this pc game, where it was a space shoot'em up.
You would be in a big space location. You could pick up abilities as you fought creatures. After some time (or after killing enough enemies) a worm hole would appear, and you would need to reach it. One of the abilities included some kind of a flail that you can use with the momentum of your space ship.

Please do help me on this!

Still no help? I understand; no one wants to help me, anyway.

Wow, still no help.

Come on now. This thread works in the following way: some people check it now and then to see if there's something they can either answer right away or something that they could possibly find out. Sometimes it turns out they can't. And they do it just to help out a fellow game enthusiast, not because that's their job. They're the same as you, how many people have you helped with their questions?

So if you don't get a satisfactory reply (I see someone already tried, but got it wrong), it doesn't mean you're being discriminated against, it means that the people who look into this thread to see if they can help anyone find something don't know the answer to your question, and don't really know where to look or what exactly to look for. Sometimes it helps to post a more detailed description of the game you are looking for, and obviously the platform and the time frame are very useful. The one thing that doesn't help is to get rude with anyone who might want to help you.

Hope you find this helpful.

The reason I'm like this is that I'm never able to find whatever I'm looking for.
Also, if I knew it any further, MAYBE I would know it already. But sadly, I played this game when I was around 7-8 or so.

Well, we don't personally know you. Heh, how are we supposed to know when you were seven-ish years old?
Anyways, as you know these dates better, why not start by going through this extensive list of possible candidates.
Obiously you'll want to check out either Windows or DOS games if you're looking for a PC game.
Still, if the game happened to be some freeware/indie game it will be a bit harder to track it down.

I don't know if the game is called "Scrolling" since you can go in every direction, not just one direction.

Also, I remember that the game had several power ups you can pick up to use as a weapon for your spaceship, with one being a flail that you can use with the momentum of your ship. I remember that there are worm-like enemies that you can kill later in the game. And the game is not 3D, it's 2D with bird-eye view of the spaceship.

Hmm, I'm not sure how that site defines scrolling. Apparently they include "multi-directional" (or "arena") shmups as well, but I don't see "Zone 66" in that list, so I can't be certain. Still I'd start by clicking through the names in the possible time frame.

When you say PC, does it mean PC in the sense of x86-architecture? Somehow I get the feeling I might have seen that flail in an Amiga game, but I might mix things up.

It is literally a PC game. I know this because I used to play it on Windows XP. However, it came with a CD that had alot of demos and one big full game. HOWEVER, it is from the magazine company called LEVEL. So, I literally have no idea.

Okay, PC, Windows XP, Level Magazine (Turkish Level?). We're actually getting somewhere. :-D
Have a look at this page, maybe one of these CDs rings a bell.

Yes, the turkish LEVEL magazine.
Well, I still don't know the game. :'(

Ok i've been on a Rom and Emulator binge as of late, playing all the games I missed out playing as a kid. One I've read about but haven't been able to find the name of involves dragons, mainly as companions (i think) and optional romance partners. You eventually have a kid with your chosen partner and depending on who you choose the look of the kids changes + how the game ends (including save the world and end boss stuff)

Any ideas?

 

[Avianis]

I have a very vague description of a PC game I recall playing at a friend's house when I was a kid. Probably late 90s, early 2000s?

The game overall took place as a series of minigames over the course of a large map (or storybook?). You had to complete them in order, and as you completed them the progress on the map continued. I think it was a winding path, connected with a dotted line?

My best memory is of playing this minigame that I feel pretty certain was set in Ancient Egypt. It was a fairly static top down view of a field, and I believe you had to solve a puzzle that involved numbers and counting with crops.

Hi, I have been looking for this game since 2006 :-( Hope one of you can help me.. So here is the description of the game. I actually got the trial version of this game along with a computer magazine CD somewhere between 2003 and 2005, don't remember the exact year. This is a PC game. It looks like an RTS game like warcraft or diablo, with small characters and you look at the characters from above, a bird's eye view. There are multiple characters that you can choose, but I remember only the dwarf character which is good at climbing mountains. And you are in your city or town and you travel to nearby areas. While travelling to nearby areas, you encounter various creatures like swamps (or slimes), acid swamps (or acid slimes), skeletons, etc.. you can fight with sword, bow-n-arrow, etc.. there is also an arena inside your city where you can fight creatures that are a bit easy.. however as you travel far away, the difficulty of creatures that you encounter increases, some creatures even use nukes!! you can buy weapons (like swords, mace, etc) as well as armors from shops in your area.. sometimes while fighting with creatures you gain some weapons as well.. when you approach a shop, most of the shopkeepers will greet you with welcome. the shopkeepers' face will appear in the upper left corner of the pop-up screen when you click on a shop. you can buy a flying carpet (though it is not very clearly visible in the game), boots, you can equip a shovel (and the game says "the walls around you now vibrates/shivers with fear), etc (some of the things that I remember, LOL).. it is not a turn based game, you can move one or two squares per click and keep moving until you encounter a creature; creatures are not visible on the map until you suddenly encounter them during your travel and is shown in the pop-up window.. you can choose to travel to the mountain and continue your adventure there (if you are a dwarf its a bit easy I guess), or you can travel by the path, etc.. it is not a hi-tech game like warcraft or diablo, but looks similar to diablo..

Sorry for the long post.. hopefully one of you can help me find the game..

Oh I forgot to mention, once you encounter a creature, then it is turn based.. you get three turns, then the creature gets three turns, etc.. if you encounter multiple creatures, then each of the creature gets three turns..

Hello everyone i am wondering if anyone has heard of a old pc game where you had to build a faster go kart then the enemy who i think was meant to be a mad scientist or a doctor but he had these monkeys or robots try and stop you from building a faster go kart, you had to go around the building through doors to collect parts of a go kart and when you got the stuff and made your go kart it takes you to the race course, and you would see who wins or loses, you could use bananas to throw at the monkeys or robots, i think it might of been like a platform game but not to sure, so if anyone knows what i am talking about please please help me find it and i can help me find a way to play it once again, thank you

 

[flamming_python]

New here, I've been trying to find the name of an old game I played when I was a kid. Im positive it was for sega, but could of been for SNES. Only vague details I remember is that it was sorta like zelda in the way of attacking monsters and moving around on maps. But you had this animal or sprite that followed you where you drew different powers from. Anyone remember such a game? Thanks!!!

Beyond Oasis?

Im trying to find an old PS1 game. I have very few memories of it, but ill try to explain it. I believe it was in a medieval time, as I think there were castles and such. I believe it was a RPG. I think I can remember the cover of it, I think there was a guy on the front holding a sword. I know that doesn't rule much out.
I'm pretty sure one weapon you could have was some type of slingshot. I remember the game being hard, but I was super young when I played it so that may be the reason.
I have looked before, and none of the popular RPGs of the PS1 seem to match it

*Edit: I remember looking down on the character, from high up. It wasn't first person. I remember the slingshot did like 0 damage also. I remember hitting a big monster with it, maybe a dragon.
