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

[Micah Rodney]

So this just came to mind tonight and I'm glad I found this thread.

I'm trying to find the name of an old CD-ROM based puzzle game I played as a kid. It had an isometric view and a grid. These multi-colored dwarves or gnomes would be marching in a line and I think the objective was the match them up by color. What I remember especially is the obnoxiously catchy jingle that would play during the game. Any ideas? Thank you.

There's this old game I used to play that I want to play again. It was a top down view point of a map, and you drive a car, and I think you were supposed to eliminate the other cars in the map. Every car is an Formula One looking car, it's all very pixelated, and super simple. I think you play a blue F1 car and everyone else has a red F1 car. If anyone could help me find it, that'd be awesome!

My brain is fried trying to remember this game as a kid. I think it was when Windows 95 was around, maybe early 2000s or something. Anyways, it was a little kid's game to help with math. So in the opening or whatever you're on a spaceship. There's a fat and short dude, an alien, a slender woman alien with long black hair in a ponytail, and their robot pet or another friend (I can't remember.) They talk for a moment and end up crashing into a planet/a space station or whatever after the guy alien, who is driving the spaceship, gets distracted or something in the conversation. (Maye they don't crash, maybe they landed safely to their destination. I know for sure they crashed). So they try to get out or fix their ship or whatever, and here's where the math part comes in. One character is controlled one at a time. They go to a room and have to get a number or equation and solve it (for example, 1+6) would be in one room and the (=) sign in another and those would go down in a special box/dialogue box at the bottom. To get to these rooms you climb ladders and open doors with certain buttons that would open a random/specific door to pass through.

Here's another game. I think it was a demo, but here goes. Two kids, a boy and a girl, have to go through two spiders with special shapes/colors on their abdomen. You feed them a bug with the same markings that match. (I think the spiders wore hair nets and the kids couldn't get through their web/they got trapped?) (Wait, was it The ClueFinders?)

Hi everyone!

I'm looking for an old PC game (98-2000).
It's very similar to Boulder Dash. The character is a purple guy who need to catch diamonds.

Thank you!

i cant remember the whole game but driving me crazy to recall the name. it was a classic java games when you can costumize your character and you live with the landlord, you have to work to get money (i remember we can wash the dishes in the cafe to get money) , you can upgrading your room with the money, buying clothes, you can puke, you can go to beach, you can interact with npc(even hook up), you can piss in the bush. and i quit the game because cant go to some club area cuz you have to be jetset to get there.

Miami nights:singles in the city or the new york nights one maybe?

I never played the game because me and my dad could never get it working when I was little but I do vaguely remember what the cover looked like. I remember there was a creepy looking zombie(or monster) on the cover and i think there was a creepy mansion in the background with green lights coming out of the windows. Note that this was between 2000 and 2004 somewhere. I think that on the back there was also screenshot that looked like the game was a 2D sidescroller and a guy with a gun(maybe a shotgun). Does anybody know what game I am talking about?

 

[Scabarat]

So I had two that I was thinking about. One game was like a windows (95 I believe, maybe vista) game where like you play as some kind of goo creature. It's a puzzle game.

Gish?

Greetings, everyone.
So, there are two games I used to play back in the day, like in the early 2000's, when I was barely 4 years old and the games were very retro and platformer-like. I've had all of them as my very first game set.

1) the first one was, as far as I remember, about a badass looking dude who looks similar to the guy from Hatred, but pixelated, with a pair of sunglasses and a semi automatic shotgun ( at first) which had to encounter green, red ( I doubt if they were also red, maybe purple) or black monsters. That black particular monster had a whip which you had to take out using a grenade which you could also use for destroying walls to create paths you could walk on during the gameplay. The background was filled with - human - corpses or skeletons or mauled people. There was a moment when you could find an automatic shotgun ( I believe ) and made things easier for you to kill enemies. The dodge mechanic of the game was when you could be near the background wall so the monsters couldn't attack you. Pretty obvious to say the game was pretty gory, especially when I was that young, but I'd lie if I didn't enjoy my time with that game!

2) this one was very fun to play, especially when Tom and Jerry from the same titled cartoon appeared to be the main characters ( or so to speak, since I could only play as Jerry from the first levels). This one was very complicated: you had to make your way to the next levels while collecting cheese and going through different passages. I remember this one level where you had to use a balloon while being in the sewers or something similar to it and make it over the pipes.

3) this last game involved The Jungle Book, and was pretty epic. The levels were so fun to play, yet the bosses were pretty challenging, and the platforms themselves could sometimes frustrate the player, but in a good way. I only remember some levels of them: one when you were at a jungle and had to fight people with masks, and the boss had one big mask divided into three smaller ones; the second one was on a ruin and some of the steps were abrupt or nearly broken; the last one you had to fight the final boss, where you had to jump through rings of fire or so.

Again, most of these are just memories I could randomly remember once in a while, and they always bring nostalgic thoughts. If you do recall the names of them, please do share them with the forum, and I would, for the very least, happy to see them once again. Thank you!

Hi all,

I am looking for a PC strategy game released somewhere '96-'02. You had Mayan civilization and aztec civilization. You had melee, archers, shamans, pyramids, scouts. You had to conquer as much land as you can before a spanish lord arives with canons and better weapons then knifes and bats. It drives me crazy that I can not find it. It's not Age of empires, civilization, pharaorh.

 

[xkatiestfux]

I barely remember anything about this game, but i remember really enjoying it! it was a pc game. you were in a jungle and had to solve the puzzles to get through (I think you were looking for something or someone). i specifically remember one part you had to move these beetles on a wall to be able to get by, but you had to line them up by color to get them to go away. and i remember near the end there was a big trench you had to go over and there were(I think) squares that were lit up over the trench. i can't remember what you had to do at this part though. please tell me this makes a little sense lol.

Hello, so this is a long shot, I tried finding this kind of game for a very long time. (excuse my english)
I remember playing it on the Nintendo NES or Nintendo 64, it sort of like megaman, but i ain't too sure.
A boy, girl along with him and his dog. All decked out in their armor. (Blue, Pink and Blue for the dog (the dog can fly with his paws)) There might be more selection of players but I mostly played the blue boy.
I searched every game related to it, even searched the history of the games, But nothing came up.
It goes to a 3D world, then 2nd back faced the miniboss/boss fight.
There's some levels I remembered. A ice level and lava/fire level and a vague water level. The levels might be out of order.
The ice level had giants ants in them, or sort of look like ants. And this professor or someone was clubbing it out, disco/dance/music, all that. Ants/creatures lined up in 2 files waiting orders or getting in some place.
The fire/lava level had like dead zombie vibe to it, going through ribs to get through, can access another area but slipping through the ribs. There's this mini boss, lake lava and when it's killed, it access to another level. You had to jump one rock platforms, never really passes that far.
The water area, there's boxes/crates and you sneak around through tubes vents.
Hope someone recognize this game, I would love to replay it. (Well watch game plays of it)

Was it Cluefinders: The Mystery of Mathra?

 

[smarta719]

There was a console game I can barely remember, probably from the mid 90s. I think you played as an alien, and humans were the enemy. All I really remember is getting temporarily blinded by a human taking a picture. There was also another human character that wore a barrel. I mainly just want to know if this is a legit game or my memory is screwing with me. Thanks!

Please, I need some help to find this NINTENDO (NES) game... This game is my game when I was a kid... I dont remember this game title is in english or japanese, because it's the same, I cant understand that both language when I was a kid... So, I just play and enjoy it...

- There are 2 character playable in this game, blue knight (male) and pink/red knight (female) (maybe)
- You can swap character instantly between blue or pink
- Blue knight have a great attack, he more powerful than pink knight. Pink knight need more attack to kill the enemy, But blue knight cant handle in water area, he's HP drain so fast when go inside the water, pink knight can handle this water area. She's HP drain very slowly in water area.
- In late/mid game, you can find some item useful. You can break the wall with ur basic attack! Blue knight can instantly break single wall with 1 attack. The pink need more (arround 3-5 attack) to break the wall.
- This is like side scrolling adventure in the dungeon/ castle, some area/ stage/ place with different theme (iced, jungle, etc)
- You can back to previous area/ stage/ place (like NES game The Goonies, you can back again to previous area/ stage/ place right)

That is the point that I can remember. Please tell me if you know that game...

Thank you

That would be Knightmare II: The Maze of Galious, which according to TV Tropes is "the most influential game you've never heard of." Here's a link to the TV Tropes page for more info but less screenshots.

WOW... Thank you MAN!!!! THIS IS WHAT I LOOKING FOR!

Probably Theocracy.

Maybe Toejam & Earl 2: Panic on Funkotron [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jwizXA9Di1k] for the Genesis?

That's literally Jungle Book from 94.
