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

Good luck to the god among men who can solve this one for me, I haven?t been able to for well over a decade now.
I had snuck this from my dad around age four but cannot be certain so latest release date would be between 2000 and 2003. It was for PC, 2D point and click side scroller type horror game. It was either hand drawn or cut-and-paste style, but it was very cartoon-ish.
If I recall correctly, you play as a young boy trying to escape some sort of dream world . I can only vividly remember the first level being in a corridor with checkered floor and I believe book shelves with either red wallpaper or red curtains in the background. You would eventually come across conjoined twin sisters, I think they were a greenish color but not positive, who were either sewing or brewing a potion before being cast into the next level. At another point you were a snail trying to climb into the sky via a stall with leaves coming from the ground while avoiding being salted from a flying arm above.
My parents always told me this was all a nightmare, but there was at least one person around my age who had said it seemed familiar when I told him but it was too vague a memory for him. I?ve poured over lists of almost every game released within the time frame to no avail, but I KNOW it exists.
I am at the point of offering reward for anyone who can name it for me, this has become a real-life case of candle cove.

Hey, I am looking for the name of a racing car game which was flash downloadable, and browser playable. The design was polygonal. It was a really raw looking game with a dark background for the menu. The soundtrack was metal i think or something around that genre. The levels weren't really colourful (they were dull) but they were colour coded with the saturation of the picked colour. The point of the game was to race around a track which had jumps laying around the racetrack. You could control the car in the air and do tricks (which would fill up a meter which would do something I think). There were rings you could jump through to get extra stuff. Oh, and the design was very minimalistic, the jumps were just triangular prisms. There were levels which could be unlocked by winning the race or destroying every competitors car. There was crash damage which was polygonal. (And no this was not carmageddon) There was no level design. (as in buildings) There was just an outlined track which was to be followed. There was a arrow on the top of the screen which would point you in which direction to go to the next checkpoint. There was usually in the middle of the track a freestyle kinda jump area. Yeah and you could unlock new cars. I remember a old style car, a formula one car, a sedan, and a truck, and a ute (maybe).

Cheers

oh yeah and it was around 2010, give or take 5 years...

Hey guys! I have scoured the internet for this game with no luck. Based on the few details I remember, it's kind of a shot in the dark, but hopefully someone on here knows the name of it. It was an old CD-ROM game for PC (probably late 80's or somewhere in the 90's). I'm pretty sure it was an educational game for kids. All I really remember is you had to solve some kind of puzzle in order to rescue a kitten before the gorilla could get to it. Every wrong move resulted in the gorilla getting one step closer. If you lost the game, the gorilla took the kitten away, and you could see it locked up in a cage, no longer being able to save it (kinda sad). This game may have been a compilation of different games. I think I remember the selection menu being an image of someone sitting in a chair by a fireplace. Don't remember anything else. Ring any bells?

I'm trying to find an old game I used to play on my computer, early 2000. It was a board game of some sort, where you had to switch dragons to evolve them, and you had this little girl with pink hair. I'm searching really hard, but I can't find it. Anyone?

Hello, hopefully someone is able to help me out here

I believe the game is on playstation 1. I only played the demo so i dont have much info.
It was a fantasy game where you played as a character that has a similar look to the NiGHTS Into Dreams clown but smaller/shorter. The best thing i can remember from the demo was near the end you went up a mountain by running on a path going in a circle around to the top. It was a side scroller camera at this point that would rotate with you to keep you in the middle. The last scene before the demo ended was the villain (looked like a floating head with a cape) talking to someone than opened up its cape and sucked in some girl before leaving. The inside of the cape looked like space (stars with black backround.

I know this isnt much to go on but its been bothering me for a while now so if anyone can tell me the name it would be awesome. Thanks!

Alright, I have looked for this game for years now and I just can't seem to find any record of it, so I'm hoping this forum will be able to help.

The game I'm talking about is about a man who gets wrongfully accused of murdering his wife and is executed in the electric chair, that's what happens in the opening cinematic.
Next thing the character wakes up in this castle/palace in a mountain range somewhere, you explore a bit, dodge traps (like spinning blades) and do some martial arts against enemies.
I seem to remember that the box I had of the game had in big letters "Tunguska" on it, but every time I try to search for that I get the game "the secret files: tunguska" and that's clearly not it since it's a point and click game while the game I remember was controlled with the keyboard and was more action focussed.
I think the environments were prerendered and the character, enemies and traps were 3d models (like final fantasy 7 and such)

If anyone knows this one I will be so happy, that game was a big part of my childhood (even though I never got anywhere in it, usually just died after the 4th or 5th enemy)

That would be Tunguska: Legend of Faith.

Thanks man, I don't understand how google never showed that one when I looked for tunguska.

I am searching for a old game where you have to jump like Doodle Jump but the platforms change how higher you go. The background starts in Fall and ends in winter. Does anybody now what this game could be? The caracter was a girl with a red dress and it looks something like this https://gyazo.com/2757434f70d73f86dcd7fcdee3ec1f9f

Season order:
Summer
Fall
WInter
End

The goal of the game was to get to the top where her dog was. Then when you found it you would jump down with a parachute.

There was this UK point and click game I remember playing as a child (late 90s to early 2000s) about a greyish bear/aardvark character and his mosquito companion.
They were in a mansion looking to solve a mystery. You were on a time limit and if you ran out of time you were turned into a rubbish bin.
In the first room there was a grand staircase with half a key hidden behind one of the banister posts.
Up on the roof there was a puzzle where you could identify constellations to earn more time.
I remember tiny details about this game so clearly but have never seen anything of it since my childhood. Any ideas?

Okay, so I've been seeing this forum for a long time and browsed this thread in hopes of seeing what I've been looking for.. But no avail.. So here goes..

I played this pc(?) game around late 99 to early 2000, I'm sure of the date since that's the first time we had a pc at home for my brother who's taking IT for college.. Anyway, the game goes like this:

- game starts at night (I guess) it's either a boy or a girl that woke up (I believe there were spiders in their room)
- he/she fought off the spiders or sth
- outside of his house was total darkness except for the houses and buildings
- I remember him talking to his friend to find out what happen
- then they set for an adventure
- along the way, he gathered people (kids same age as his) for his party
- early food for hp is bread
- it's rpg btw
- he/she needs to call from a phone booth in order to save the game

i remember playing a game in my sister's tablet where there is this pathway where the end is a cave or something. it has its certain number of lives. then you have to defend it from zombies or monsters by planting pumpkins and other plants beside the pathway then it'll start and if the zombie passes the plants, they will shoot them. you will have to upgrade you're pumpkins because the higher your level the more difficult it is to kill the zombies. every wave has many zombies they will try to reach the cave and your pumpkins will try to stop them. but sometimes they are hard to kill and manages to pass through. if the cave reaches its maximum capacity then its game over. but if your pumpkins manage to kill every zombie that passes then you win. please help me find this game. thank you.

 

[starstarstarstar]

The game I'm thinking of was similar to final fantasy, probably came out between 2000 and 2005, I think for the ps2 or ps1, maybe xbox.
gameplay was third person perspective. you start near a forest and the fights were turn based. you could choose the direction of your attack up down left or right.
dialogue was text and in the beginning there was this character who said damn a lot. Your first boss(or miniboss) was this giant bug thing in the forest.
Afterwards, someone destroys your home or something and you go into the forest at night and fight this invincible guy that you can't beat.
then you enter this desert rocky place and some of the enemies there are these big stone golems or something like that.
I believe there was also some sort of ape person you had to fight in the rocky desert place

That sounds kinda similar to plants vs zombies or its' sequels or maybe a knockoff of it

yes kinda because of the plants and zombies thing but the difference is unlike plants vs. zombies you will plant your pumpkins no to the zombies path. you're not gonna block their way because you cant it similar to the tower defense king game but instead of canons you have pumpkins for defense instead.

Pretty sure that's Legaia 2: Duel Saga [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=veqLMKBvZvA&list=PLcX_7WAE1PofSqZFS01ksM0qYB_8eVRCJ&index=1]. =)
