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

[Jordan Vasilev]

Hi Guys,

After googling for hours i gave up and came here maybe someone remembers it. It was a strategy game where you controlled bald header people that were separated into 4 different classes (Builders, Scientist, Military and Breathing ) You could build and upgrade the specific houses that will produce power for the classes. Builders made your building build faster, Military gives you stronger warriors, Scientists allowed you yo use special powers (mines,balloons, traps,ect..) and Breathing gave you more people to work with. You are battling on a terrain versus similar PC controlled groups.
Thank you

Hey guys been struggling to remember a game I use to play on my pc (around early/mid 2000), Not sure my uncle game to me not sure when it came out.

All I remember is that your its a space sim/space dog fighter, during the story your character starts to have theses nightmares/ visions from the aliens you've been fighting. I think in the game your fighter is yellow but thats all I can remember. Not really much to go on but I was trying to find it today...

Thanks

Hi there.
This one has been driving me nuts for years.
I played it about 15 years ago, more or less. Im not sure, but I think it was a ps1 game. Its a 2D fighting game, very cartoonish graphics. The characters are all kids dressed like superheroes or something like that. It could be that they used the power of their imagination to fight. I remember that there was a kid dressed as a cowboy and another one that used hiphop music and giant speakers to attack. Maybe also a girl dressed like a magical princess and guy dressed as a space hero or something on the lines.
Im sorry for being so vague, but that's pretty much all I can remember.

Hello and please help me with this one.
Platform - Game Boy Advance (possibly, if not, then PS1)

A male character (cartoon-ish kid) starts out on the west side of an empty green field.
-If you go to the east, there is a broken bridge over water.
-If you go north, you get to the top of the field - there is nothing interesting there

South is where it gets interesting. You get to a ladder that you go down. At the bottom of the ladder, there is an orange circle. If the character steps on the circle, it closes and a new feature opens (e.g. a building suddenly appears in the starting field). There is a cave past the orange circle, and there are more orange circles and enemies in this cave. Going over the circles either adds another building or opens a passageway in the cave.

Thank you in advance.

Hi everyone

I remember playing this *arcade* game back in 90's. It was a beat em up game with a fantasy feel I think. I can't remember much from it but there was this very distinct scene:

When you were about to start the game or when you had died there was these game over / starting scene in which there was a girl captivated and hand cuffed in some kind of prison with stone walls very similar to a well and there was water pouring inside slowly to fill up the prison and kill the girl.

I guess the purpose of the hero of game was to somehow rescue the girl before she get drowned.

Sorry I can't remember anything else. I have searched a lot and found nothing, please help me...

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.

This sounds very much like some of the Dragon Quest games. I know that Dragon Quest IV was re-released on the PS1 and I seem to recall you having to use the "mod rod" to turn into an animal at one point.

So close, i watched some gameplay, and the beginning had me thinking it was the right game, but it was definitely a ring that turned you into a beaver, and I dont remember ever switching characters or having party members, everyone was either a basically a quest giver, store, or enemy other than your character. I could be wrong on party members, but definitely a ring that turns your character into a beaver, and definitely the main character saves the princess and delivers her to the king, whereas in dragon quest 4 the princess leaves the castle and joins the main character later.

Ok, so I have two games that are really bugging me. Just spend the whole day traversing google to find either with no success. I played them when I was pretty young so only have faint memories of them (like a dream).

Both were PC games on an old windows computer we were using between 2000-2007ish (I don't remember the exact years soz). It might've been from a CD or installed by default.

The first game was a 2D topdown puzzle solving game where you were this robot (that had arms and a square face i think) that moved around a map and had to do something. I distinctly remember having to roll a while ball/boulder as part of the puzzle.

The second game I remembered having heaps of fun on even though I could never get past the first part. It was a 3D Sci-Fi game. There were these droid like robots (they didn't have arms or faces, just machines really) that fired lasers (i think, I do recall them making mechanical whirring/robotic noises). The only part I played was indoors in a pretty much mettalic room. I think I recall part of the gameplay being isometric cuz I could see robots and they were closed of in a L like bend of walls in the centre of the big room. I also feel like part of the game was first person cuz I recall trying to appraoch the robots and dying. Otherwise it looked amazing and I would kill to know it. The graphics for this game I recall weren't even bad, but that might've just been my first experience with 3D games lol.

Sorry for the vague descriptions. My mind might have dreamt up bits over the years to fill the gaps on what I've forgotten, but any pointers on things that match my descriptions are fine, even if they're older then 2000 cuz we might've bought that PC secondhand.

Not sure if either of you were able to find the game or not, but I'm pretty sure it's called Otto's Magic Blocks. https://www.wildtangent.com/games/ottos-magic-blocks. My brothers and I use to play this game all the time, I tried looking online for it and my brother was able to remember what it was. Hope this helps

I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR AN OLD GAME that I played on my computer for A LOOONG TIME!!!!

I remeber my dad buying a new computer in the early 2000's and it had a bunch of games already installed.
It had trials of games, you know the ones that you can only play like 5 times before they ask you to buy it.

The one im looking for is like a 3d game where you're in the sky/air. there are lots of pink clouds around and you could fall off if you missed a block.
The floor is made of blocks and you control this little pink blob looking thing, with the arrow keys. You have to make him jump on the blocks and it turns them into a gold color.
You have to turn all the blocks gold to complete the level. And i think you can make him land on blocks with cherries or cakes to power up and it has different effects on how many blocks you can change at a time.

That is all the game was, just a little pink thing that you controlled to turn all the blocks gold.
I remember a lot of pink, like it was for little girls. And blob had huge eyes! it didn't look anything like Kirby tho if anyone is wondering. and it looked 3dish.

HELP ME!!

Any clues yet, folks? I'm trying to remember this one too. The computer was some kind of Dell xps thing from the early to mid 2000s.

Different cubes in the game had different properties. Some would fall away when you jumped on them, some would cause you to slide, and some had treats like cupcakes or fruit that would give you powers (I think). I don't remember what the enemies looked like, but I know that one of the boss battles was against some kind of lightning storm. I also recall lots of stars or clouds along with lots of pink and purple. I've asked my sisters if they remember the name (we all played through dozens of levels of this thing), but they can't remember yet either.

Not sure if either of you were able to find the game or not, but I'm pretty sure it's called Otto's Magic Blocks. https://www.wildtangent.com/games/ottos-magic-blocks.

It wasn't fantasy, but that water scene sounds like the continue screen from Final Fight 2. Whoever you chose to play as ends up there after losing too many lives, including the female hero Maki.

 

[larson00]

My memory of this game is hazy, but from what I do remember, it is a sidescroller shooter/labyrinth game. I seem to remember the color scheme being mostly grey, blue and purple/pink. Your character is small on the screen, can jump and shoot and there is a large robot/mech that you can encounter early in the game.

It's not a lot to work with, but if it rings any bells, I would greatly appreciate suggestions.

By a miracle, I was able to find it. Turns out my memory was completely wrong.
The game was MicroMan - Adventure 1.

Thanks for the reply. This isn?t the game I am thinking of. It wasn?t a side scroller. Was sort of a fixed area and you could have 6-10 people following you like a conga line.

 

[umeshjaya]

Hi all, hoping for some help here!

Played an old game in the 90's, set in a haunted mansion. Dark graphics, basically would show you the image of a room, lots of blue and black. I *think* it was text command based, but may have had some presets. I distinctly remember opening a cupboard and having to grab a moving matchbox, a lab downstairs that would jump scare and kill you with a snake if you did the wrong thing, and a creepy curator out the back digging a grave that would follow you and chop you up with an axe. Any help here would be great, generic "haunted mansion old game" searches have been fruitless so far, and I'd like to dig it out for Halloween!
