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

[Goro_v1legacy]

This has been driving me crazy for months, so much so that I made this account purely to comment on this thread.

So, I remember playing this game on a nontraditional system, which was basically a portable DVD player with two wired controllers you could plug into it and a disc that contained the game I'm looking for. On this disc I remember there being Donkey Kong Jr., a Mario knock off with a red dragon/dinosaur instead of Bowser, and possibly a game involving Mickey Mouse (I was around 5-7 at this time and I'm 20 now so please excuse my blurry/inaccurate memory).

Anyways, the actual game was a very basic 8-bit platformer. It was not a side-scroller as you had to keep jumping up on platforms to get away from what I believe was a flood of some sorts. It had a sort of outdoor-castle texture vibe to it, and I remember it being consistent of the colors pink, green and blue. There may have been enemies of some sort like snakes or lizards and bugs, but again, I was very young when I played this. I also wasn't the best at video games due to my undeveloped motor skills so I'm probably only describing the first part of the game.

Please help, I feel like this was a very important piece of my childhood I'm eager to regain.

I believe the game must be Islander. Becos you mentioned a "Mario knock off", I can only remember of that one game. The guy wears a cap and has a funny running to him and uses a skateboard for powerup. Wierd game though...

Okay, having trouble trying to find this game. So heres some bullet points at the top of my head.

- PC Game Circa 90's to 00's
- Detectiveish mystery type game
- Top Down Perspective
- Main gameplay location is in a Mansion during a 'Party'
- You can walk outside and through the mansion
- I believe you are trying to find out who died (Can't fully remember plot)
- Same concept of the "Escape" type games, where it's point and click on items, combine items, use items, and i believe there is an item menu on the bottom of the screen
- You would have to 'talk' with guests to get clues or tips or useless info.
- Main character is White Male (I say this so you can rule out Nancy Drew? lmao and because it might help in narrowing thoughts)
- When you go in a particular room, there are several spaces where there is like acid or something that hurts the main character if you step on it
- (bit of a reach, so don't be held on this) i have a feeling the game started with the letter C or contained Case in it.
- It was included on a double (maybe Triple) disc PC Game Volume. (If you can find this out too, that would be an ultimate bonus, it included a derby game and racing games and other stuff from 90's - 00's)

If i remember anything else, ill add. Thanks.

Coming back to this site, hopefully I can get answers lol

The graphics and view resemble that of RimWorld but with actual humans and mystery.

- I recall a gardener you would speak to, to gain more information about the house, party members etc.
- Not at all a Fantasy type game with monsters ghosts gnomes etc.. just humans good/bad
- I do not know for an absolute fact, that there was shooting. My memory does not include shooting people or what-not.

This is killing me!! HELP!!! lol took me long enough to find Amerzone, and I am glad i got that back in my life.

So this game I played back around about 25 years ago on the sega genesis as that is what we had back then. You controlled a character from a top down rather than an over your shoulder perspective but whenever you ran into an enemy you would zoom in and go fight whatever enemy you ran into. By zoom in I mean the battle would turn into some sort of side scrolling fight.

I only remember this one guy wielding a big axe that would swing an axe vertically up and down and the only way past him was to roll under him and to swing a sword at his back or stab him. I really cant remember anything else but I've been searching on and off now for about 2-3 years with no success.

Any help would be appreciated. Also when playing the game outside of the fighting parts, it reminds for some odd reason of marble madness in how it looks (I think anyway- it?s been so long/ I did find the other old game I was looking for I played once called General chaos which was pretty sweet.)


Also I want to thank whoever started up this thread as its a great idea for finding old sweet games one has forgotten about. Also it looks like crusader of centi but it?s not. It?s similar to shining force 2 as the grids and the health bar looks familiar but the fighting is not turn based.

Hi, help me please find this game. Iam desperate becouse i cant find it. For motivation i will give 5usd to the one who will know the game or who will google it

Its very old game, very simple. Probably made with very low budget. You have square small map with water at the start. Every turn you have to build some hill, hole or add water. It comes random and you have to build it somewhere or put water somewhere every turn. Goal is to keep water on map as long as possible. Game ends when water go over your hills and spill out from map. All the map comes wet and you lost. Please anybody knows the game? Thank you for help and have a nice day

Hi, I'm looking for a certain PC software game that has escaped my memory and I'm hoping someone might have come across it. I'm gonna try my best to describe it, but I played this when I was a pre-teen, so you'll have to excuse me if my memory is hazy.

I played it about 8-15 years ago on PC(software download) as I was too young to afford a console. Back then, other games I played included stuff like adventure quest and miniclip.com. Now, this game was a 2d beat-em up sidescroller similar to river city ransom but with a better graphics than pixel sprites. The game started with a dark atmosphere, it was raining and something happened to the main character. I think I never did get past the very first part of the game, but I remember it was set in a night club where you would beat up enemies. Sometimes, you would be able to hit them so hard that their head flies off the screen and leaves a blood trail and other times they would drop their weapons or even their arms that you can pick up as a weapon. Fighting enemies would also increase your cash which you could use to buy items (food?noodles/drinks/cd??) from various shopkeepers and you would gain stats or have stronger attacks. It was probably heavily inspired by river city ransom. Just beside the night club, I remember there being a car junk/scrapyard and I didn't know how to progress further. The visual style of the game was pretty unique for that time, with the character models being small animated characters, while the background would be closer to real life photo imagery.

The game itself was a software download from the web by an independent small company. I remember the same company also made another game featuring a ninja girl with guns. I'm not too sure, but I feel as though this ninja girl(or characters from either game) appeared in both games as cameos. I remember playing that ninja girl game as well, and When i reached the hospital stage, that game had a small cliffhanger and told me that i needed to purchase the full game in order to continue that game, while showing me a preview of the remainder of the game.

The parts listed from here on might be wildly inaccurate, I might have mixed up my memories with river city ransom, but
I might have been able to pick up the hearts from the enemies in the nightclub and regain health by eating them?? They might also have been zombies..???

I understand that this is really vague but nevertheless, I sincerely hope someone knows which game i'm talking about. I would really appreciate any help given to me as I badly miss that game. Thank you for your kind attention.

Hi. Please help me find this game. It's not that old. But I'll try do describe as good as I can manage.

It's a side-scrolling 2d game. It's a military strategy game, where you're supposed to defend your base (same concept as age of war). After completing different levels you unlock new units. The units are a lot of categories: Infantry (sniper, grenadier, machinegun etc., vehicles (trucks and tanks), Aircraft (2 sorts of helicopter and lots of plains), boats, strikes, turrets and specials.
The different levels were different difficulities, some levels you were only allowed to use boats, and some were only plains, some were both plains and infantry etc...
If I remember right the game was about conquer the whole map. You also got some points so you could upgrade your command and skills. The game was maybe avaliable at kongregate, but i ain't sure. Please help me. I need to find this game.

thank you for your attention.

Maybe The Dishwasher: Dead Samurai [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-ayGund21Q&list=PLF85A4F9CE4F1BD46], with the sequel Vampire Smile [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UUgRykwRnvE&list=PLl3nsag5YnTCYqd20fHvHyEDHYW9Kbfv5] being the 'ninja girl with guns' game?

Probably either Wetrix or it's pseudo-sequel, Aqua Aqua.

 

[IForgotTheName]

I need help finding a game, any help is appreciated. The game, I believe it was for ps2. It was a 3d third person game where you were a fox (walking on two legs), you eventually get dressed in chainmail and get a sword. I remember it had high-quality cutscenes/cinematics. There was a quest where you had to rescue your sister after she wants to be like you and she runs away on her own quest.

Edit: It was: Neopets: The Darkest Faerie

[Mixalis Mpisias]

I need help, i recently remembered of a game i used to play on a windows xp computer around 2007-2008.
The game was about making a robot with different parts (globe head, bowl head, bomb hands etc.) and using the different properties of this robot to solve puzzles on the islant that you were in that had ancient ruins (i remember a big head that spit out bombs(?) ), there was "helper" creature that was a flying one eyed creature (i dont remember too much). Also i remember fondly that there was a place near the beach that you could play football with a tin can vs another robot like you that was AI.
Thanks in advance!

Sadly no, that isn't the right game. But thanks to viewing that + some more research, i remembered a little bit more about the game and I updated the info! I really appreciate your help nonetheless! Thank you so much! Gahhh, I badly want to remember the game again!!

 

[LordDemonio]

Hello everyone i really need help on these ones,i tried to remember and look for these games really hard but the amount of details in some of these are really poor and i can't even think of a way to actually search for them.
The first one i remember a lot of details but i can't come up with a name:
-It was RTS
-It had different factions campaign,some of these were like scorpio things,another race was humans and another with mechs and blue soldiers
-A faction had these double barrel red-ish tanks that shot really fast

Second one is harder, the only thing i remember is that you had your flying ''rock'' probably a city, i'm not sure, and you had to shoot with cannons and other weapons the other flying cities and at some point there was a huge one i never managed to beat.

Third one i remember only the intro because i couldn't manage to progress in the game;
You were this martian alien thing with the spaceship and in the intro this alien starts to play like...space invaders i think and he plays so hard that he crashes on a planet,and then you gotta repair your ship.

Fourth one is really troublesome:
-You had a 4 wheels vehicle (or that's what i think)
-I remember a part where there was this ''toxic'' looking planet and you had to defend a nuclear station or something like that
-It was in 3rd person view
-I think you could do really weird jumps
-There were a lot of weird looking aliens and enemy units
That's all i remember about this one

Fifth one...i have no idea all i remember is
-it was a car game like racing i think
-i had a somewhat weird looking black and blue car
-there was a face cam like carmageddon with opponents being rude when you hit them
-there was a black haired girl (sorta realistic looking in that face cam)


If you know any of these please let me know,i kind of gave up but my curiosity to try them now is still bothering me.
I believe all of these were PC games or maybe Amiga but i'm confident that these are pc games,and also really old ones.
Thanks!

A quick repost just to say:
5th one apparently was a series called ''Twisted Metal''

Okay, First one seems to be Dark Reign!
second one oh boy... How much time I spent searching for this one... Stratosphere: Conquest of the Skies !!!!! great game!
The fourth was either one of those Games that came bundled with my old ATI I remember having a few ships and they all handled awfully. Either that or it was MDK (but no car on MDK)

 

[Ivan Ivke Pejovic]

Um hello, i need to find 2 old games. Both are kinda same.
In the first one you fight in space, you would have an spaceship and you control your ship with a mouse, and you gotta destroy enemy ships, there were boss battles i think and you could upgrade your weaponry.
In the second one you control an plane i think it was 3D or 2D platformer.Basicly you shoot other planes and they shoot at you it was very cool due to the details. When your plane gets hit you can see that your plane is damaged and you could see bullet holes etc.

 

[tommyfiction]

Greetings everyone !
Well I'm also searching for few PC games. Probably from around 90s or early 2000s.

I don't exactly remember them.

First one had, a fair or carnival theme. I remember different colour fishes, it was kind of a race between fishes, your fish vs PC fishes because I remember they had to race around the fair, sometimes there were square shaped path on the ground and each fish will leave their own neon colour path behind. It was tricky controlling it. Fish who covers the most ground would win.

Second one was a simulation game, you have your territory marked by flags, there were tiny human labour moving around the goods, there was forestry, fishery, catapult, etc buildings, then there was your main storage building in which all the goods were stored. Probably there were other civilisations too, denoted by different colours. You can also attack their buildings. It was quiet like Tiberian Sun but unlike the modern or future theme, it's theme would rather give you stone age feeling.

I'll look forward to hearing from you. Thank you !

Oh wow it really was Stratosphere! Wow thanks. I have no idea how many years i tried to get game's name.
But the other one is not dark reign,i know that game. This game in particular was more like C&C.
All i remember is:
Humans had this double barrel red tank and the blue faction had mechs and there was a yellow faction made of insects and scorpions-like unit. Maybe there was a 4th faction too but i can't really remember :/

 

[Sega]

Hey guys I really need some help. I remember playing this little kids game when I was younger I must have been like four or so. Making it 2004 or 2005. It's a PC game that had this little girl at the title (i think). This all took place on this little farm and you could go around and help the farm animals and talk with them. The little girl would sing the skitta merki dinky dink song sometimes. I cannot for the life of me remember anything else about the game. Someone help me I've been searching google forever with no luck. Anyone know the game I'm remember?

 

[EpicMucluck]

Trying to find my childhood again and it's kicking my ass. All I can remember is that it's a early 2000s JRPG/RPG. It has a character that looks like a ninja with grey/white hair that shaped like sonic, a green sword, camo shorts, a mesh shirt and ridiculously big black and red boots. That's all I got-just want to know if it exists or not.

 

[Hannah Gao]

There's a game that I desperately can't remember and thank god I found this thread, can somebody help me please? I think it is a flash game I played it on browser years ago.

It is kind of a farm/simulation game where a bunch of little aliens landed (probably crushed) on a empty space among wood. The little creatures are kind of similar to Pikumin, but with a more fluffy head, if I remember right.

I have to control them to grow crops, feed them, send them to sleep, keep them healthy and happy, and eventually help them fix the space ship and go back home.

Player has kind of a god-like? view point from sky. (Honestly I have no idea how to describe sorry, but pretty much like the LOL angle. Kind of a isometric view.)

I remember that on the right top corner is the little crop area, or at least it is where I put it. Upon command the assigned alien will work there and grow flowers, which are what they eat.

That's pretty much all I can remember for now. Please let me know if anyone has a clue because all my keyword searches failed and I'm kind of nostalgic about this game. I will be sooo happy to know the answer.

Thanks!
