Okay so we used to own this game that was a multi-game CD. Think it maybe had 12 games on it. The only ones I can remember are a typing game where you had to save what I think were the 3 little pigs by typing the correct letters. There was also a bumper-car board game kind of thing (possibly similar to the board game "Sorry"). It was targeted towards younger kids I think. There was also a ripoff chutes and ladders thing based in a jungle I think? Possibly called snakes and ladders? There was also a Chinese checkers option. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Old Games you remember playing but can't remember the name of.

My turn...
When I was a kid my cousins had this game on their IBM PC (I had an Apple II, see, so I couldn't borrow it). This would have been in the 80s. It was an investigation game; you were a journalist and would break into people's houses when they left to look for clues. There was a simple top-down house layout and you'd go room to room looking for things. If folks came back they could catch you, leading to (I think) a game over.
Help!

Hello,ady_arcade said:Hello everyone,
For quite a long time I have searched on Internet an arcade game, until I have found your website. I hope someone can help if he can. I have played the game somewhere in '96-'97 on an arcade machine in a bar in my town.
In this 2D game you must pilot a small ship who moves everywhere the screen and also fires. The action is taking place in one screen (is not moving like in other space ship shooters) and if you are moving in extreme right of the screen you will appear in the extreme left, also this works on vertical direction.
This space ship when is moving has the ability of "eating" background revealing parts of nude girls; you have the complete picture when the level is finished.
Also many things come to attack you when you try to complete the level. I remember at first level some skeletons will attack you and when fires they will split in other parts trying to kill you again. If you manage not to die you will collect different items who give various things (shields, bigger fire power, points, extra lives)
Was a very hard game to play, I remember after a couple levels you are fight with a boss, a big monster who fly and spit fire...
I try o search similar games but it seems is quite different from what I have found:
1) Miss world 96
2) Gal's panic
3) Volfied
But in these games where you have to cut off parts of screen, you are somehow protected if you stay on the edge and you do not cut off. In my game there is not such a protection.
Unfortunately this is all the description I can offer. Was a long time ago...like in Star Wars
Thank you !
In order to find the above game, I found this app on android called "What Arcade Game ?".
It has 15 levels each level has 12 games.
The problem is I am blocked and I can't move forward.
To pass at the next level I need 300 points and I have only 160. For a good answer I get 30 points.
Any help is highly appreciate
.
Thank you.
I'm looking for a series of old educational games. Both games featured a ton of little aliens shaped like balls with giant eyes and a mouth that had different weights and physics properties.
The first game had the aliens crash land behind someone's house and get stuck in the basement. You had to build physics dependent pathways that would move the aliens around the basement by attaching junk like garden hoses and strings to the walls. Since the different aliens were various sizes, they weighed different amounts, so you had to figure out what ratio of big/medium/little alien balls to put around the level.
The second game had the aliens visiting a theme park where each section of the park was teaching a different physics related topic. The only one I remember at the moment is buoyancy. If your aliens messed up or touched certain things in the level, they would get sucked out to a creepy pitch black cave outside the park with a monster inside.
If anyone remembers the name of these games, that would be awesome.
Unrelated / less important, but does anyone remember a music theory education game that had you exploring a castle and learning lessons from different people around the castle?
I'm also looking for an educational game that had a fantastic old western adventure hidden inside it. The main game is about "exploring" the USA. Very boring as it was mostly just pictures/info. However, you could go to an old west ghost town which consisted of point and click navigating Myst style through actual pictures of a real world ghost town. After exploring for a bit, you find a jail where a haunted wanted poster starts talking to you about how his gang is going to blow up the bridge that a train is about to go over. You have to drag and drop the pieces of the bridge to put it back together. Later on you visit an old native american village and play some sort of board game with stones against a trickster coyote spirit. If you win that, you end up getting to explore a mine. Some sort of first person dungeon crawler maze thingy in the style of wolfenstein (except you have to navigate by clicking on buttons on the screen instead of arrow keys...). Spiders and bats attack with projectiles, and you can heal by eating cans of beans.
EDIT: Found the music game. It's Juilliard Music Adventure: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CM3gNnUldco

Looking for an old Dinosaur shooting game. The game was 3d with very pixelated graphics on pc. I don't remember a lot about the game but it had a few different locations to hunt dinos and there was a bow that shot exploding arrows.
I suspect you're talking about Turok: Dinosaur Hunter. Is this the weapon you were talking about? http://turok.wikia.com/wiki/Tek_Bowalmosteasy said:
nope its not that one I dont remember the game really having much story it was just to kill dinosSkyclimber said:
Maybe one of the Carnivores games? The series was a dino hunting sim, with the exception of Carnivores: Cityscape. I've only played the first one, which didn't have exploding arrows, but did have a crossbow.almosteasy said:

These are, respectively, Mappy, Xevious and Crazy Climber.
EDIT: I knew I remembered that one... the fourth is City Connection.
I have 3 games...
Ok, not much to go by here, but i only have a small piece of memory of this game from when i was about the age of 4.
-It might have been a 1st or 3rd person RPG, bright colored (temple?) area with a garden
-A similar inventory style to RE4
-I really dont remember much but it was on the Xbox or PS2
-had a T rating i think... might have been E10
-Fantasy setting for sure
-i dont remember if the protagonist was customizable or set but was male i think...
-it was back in the 2005s or so when i first saw it
thats all i remember...
Second game was for the DS a lot more memories with this one...
-was not fossil fighters
-started with an M i think
-you dug up pieces of things and fused them together to make monsters
-they fought
-really cant remember the monsters but you's scan little sparkles on the feild to find items
-defiantly a E - E10 rating
Third, this one has been haunting me for years
-i remember a level, it was at the gates of some place in war like trenches
-fantasy setting im pretty sure
-it was raining, it was kinda of a overhead style, but i think it zoomed in on the back of the player in some areas, or was completely 3rd person
-im almost sure you had a customizable avatar
-i only beat one level, it may have only been a demo.
-gold pickups and items on the ground\
sorry if this wasnt enough, i really dont remember much, i was a really young kid back in these days...

I'm not entirely sure - I don't recall fusing pieces - but could this be a Spectrobes game?blitzhilma said:
The game I am looking for,I am pretty sure was on a sega console though I am not sure which one and it might have been on ps1, this would have been late 90s maybe early 2000, but definitely before xbox came out, it was an RPG and you were a young male hero out to save a princess at the start, but then it kind of evolves into saving the kingdom after you save her, i believe the characters almost looked like super early final fantasy sprites when traveling like kinda short squat little things, and there were lots of major scenery changes as you went to like magical realms and different areas of the kingdom, there were lots of little unique items and weird powers you could get to help navigate puzzles and combat, and one as silly as it was, was a ring that would turn you into a beaver type animal.
Alright guys, I've got an old one for you. This game was released sometime in the mid 80s - early 90s and I don't remember too much about it, but I've been trying to figure it out for the last 20 or so years. It was a PC game and you were off somewhere (I seem to remember a cave) and you used portals to travel between dimensions, times, or areas (not sure which). You were accompanied by a dog, as well, I think. It isn't Secret of Evermore or Another World. I've played both those games and they aren't it. In terms of graphics think the early Space Quest or King's Quest games at best.
