Trying to remember a game for PC. I don't think it was a disc game but you would hop across 3 landing areas and have to collect something thing and then hop back. One of the landing areas in the middle would go up and the other 2 on the outside would go down. You would have to time your jump so you didn't die. It was a simple game but been trying to remember the game and look it up. It was a 2D game and remember playing when I was like 4 or 5 so around the mid 90s.

I once played on a friend's computer a 2d pixel art game that had top view. The main character throws an arrow (or bolt) that you have to retrieve every time to shoot it again. In the beginning of the game there are many doors to choose from. I also remember that the first door enemy is a slime that splits in half each time you hit it. In order to defeat it you need to hit the slime part that has a heart inside. Does anyone remember the name of this game ?
Around what year did you play it? It sounds like Titan Souls [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xbqmUMGozI], but that game is pretty recent...
I played it two years ago, but since I had the chance to play it just one time for a brief moment I couldn't remember the name. Now I'm pretty sure that Titan Souls is the one I played. Thank you.

Hey, I've been searching for a couple of old games with no success. Maybe you can help me.
#1 Old game where the character was either a bunny or a frog, I know it had the same mechanics like frogger, crossing the road etc. I think it was a 2D perspecive and the second level was a maze with water 'walls' in which you could drop and a timer. When it ran out an anvil would squash your character.
#2 Old game platformer, shooter, aiming with the mouse, in the sewers or something similar with the most basic enemies turrets hung on the ceiling and walls.
#3 Old game similar to starcraft, in which you had to build you colony, develop and you could buy bazooka ants or bugs or something similar.

I don't think I made myself very clear in my explanations so if there's any trouble understanding I'll try to clarify.
Thanks in advance.

EDIT: If relevant they could be played on a 286 PC.

Gameplay: Your screen is always the control room/cockpit of your spaceship, with a viewscreen either showing space, or the alien planet that you have landed on. You go around to different worlds and discover different creatures you can see on your view screen some look friendly and others look mean, and you pick up specimens of these creatures and the number of creatures you have in your ship goes up (it's just a number on one of your panels) but if you pick up the wrong ones I guess it eats all the other ones and you go back to zero. I never figured out what the point of this game was or how to complete it but now that I'm an adult and not a wee child I'd like to find it and figure out what the point was and how you progress/'win'. Some of the creatures were interesting looking. They moved slightly on the screen so you could tell what was a living creature and what was just part of the planet backdrop.

Anyone have any clue what I'm talking about?
I solved mine finally, because I found out from talking with my dad that I was working off false parameters- we actually had an Apple II when I was super little, not a DOS PC, and it was on that and not a cartridge game like I thought. The game is Space Ark for Applie II. XD

Anyone tried posting their queries on r/tipofmyjoystick? They have some gurus on there.

I have made an account just to find this game I played about 8 years ago online for free (browser game). The game consists of a campaign mode in which you defeat bosses and gain new cars after ever few levels. In order to progress a new level you must either destroy all your opponents or win the race by completing all the checkpoints first without dying to the opponent cars. Some Of the cars you face are faster but weak and some are stronger but much slower so you have to choose your car wisely.

I don't know it it helps but the game had a logo of a green or Red Devil face that flashed colours with the title.

PC game adventue-RPG like; I remember that the CD is Red. There are a group of kids in a house (1st floor: straight there is a kitchen; left side: there is a closed door, a bault, a coat rack and an electric switch box; right side: there is some stairs. 2nd floor: the bedrooms) and you have to search for items to achive goals/solve puzzles (like entering a room, etc), there is a closed lighthouse that you have to enter, there is a beach with a fisherman's house, there is a cave. The goal of the game (I think) is to go to a mistery island. I think there is a 2nd CD of the game, when you are already in the island.
I will appreciate any help. Thanks.
(Sorry, for bad english)
That sounds kind of like Oxenfree: http://store.steampowered.com/app/388880/
Is not that one. The one i'm searching for is older.
Holy shit, I've been looking for this game too for forever. Definitely point and click PC puzzle adventure game, heavily inventory based and I think I remember tesla coils or electricity involved somehow with the distant mystery island. I think the kids were your siblings? Or related in some way. The screen always displayed the whole room or outside area and your character would be superimposed on it and you would click around the area to move where you wanted to go. Any help finding this game would be super appreciated. It's not Myst or Oxenfree or anything.
Found it.
It's the Famous Five series. Since the Famous Five games are all set in the same place, the one I was thinking of might be different than the one you were thinking of.

I simply cannot remember the name of this old 3D puzzle game and its driving me crazy, here are the only things I can remember about it


1) I last remember playing it on my old DELL computer as a kid (6 years old so around 2007)

2) You played as a green dinosaur (i think) and I always used to call it "Bookless" or "Bombless" as a kid

3) You had to avoid enemies and use different colored bombs or orbs to progress through the level

4) On the third or fourth level, there were these tall lanky guys with skull-like faces

5) Boxes were a common obstacle

Hello, there are two games I remember, but don't remember.

It was played on an old computer (don't know what kind), but like at least 11 years ago. There was a labyrinth game; it was three dimensional and you would move the platform to move the ball around. You would have to avoid falling in a hole. I remember that there were power ups, sadly I only remember one. It was an item you would have to get to become a ghost (which just let you go through walls).

The second game was this green slime goo plat former game. I think you had to escape. I really don't remember.

Please help. My searches have been futile.
Could it have been either Neverball or 3D Marble Flip? If not one of those, here a list of rolling ball games on MobyGames, unfortunately the list includes games were the ball is controlled directly and a few 2d games, but at least it's a starting point.

Edit: forgot to mention, it might also be The Labyrinth Plus! Edition, which came with Microsoft Plus! for Windows XP.

This is an old game I remember playing on pc around 12-14 years ago.

Its a platform game where you are an old man in a dungeon killing zombies and monsters by throwing axes or shooting a bow. In the first map I remember you start underground and you go through acid type of liquid in some ares and the most specific thing i remember is when you face a monster made of metal that you cant kill but damaging it makes it turn direction. I think the name of the game ends with a capital X.

I've been trying to figure out the name of this game for a couple of years now and if anyone knows which one im talking about that'd be great!

I'm trying to remember a game from like. Windows 98. I had a demo of it and like monster truck madness 2 at the time.

The game was a 3D vehicle warfare game with two bases, tanks, planes, all futuristic styled as I recall. The bases had different turrets you could jump into or you could jump into any vehicle. But you moved them on a map usually. I also recall the training had you shooting down floating six sided pillars.

Hello!

My dad and I have been searching for a racing game for the last 15 years. This is what we remember about it:

1. Instead of racing around a track, it was more like an arena with a track inside
2. The cars were alive, some looked like monsters - slime was involved
3. You were driving at night
4. You could leave oil slicks for other drivers
5. Before the race started, it would say "HERE WE GO!" in a high-pitched voice
6. There was some sort of building you always drove through right at the beginning

It would've been on an early PC os, and I thought the name might've contained either "gear" or "hog" - my dad thought it was "motorhead" but thats not the right one.

Any help would be appreciated. I think I've searched every corner of the internet by now but here's to hoping.

Game I recently can recall no name though thanks to alcohol lol.

Game has a viking character in it named Sven. It was a PC game from around 2002-2006 roughly. It also had some fairies in it that you had to collect to upgrade the characters in it. Sven the Viking was Blue, there was also yellow and red I think. The game was a download game from a website long ago called e-games? Around the time O2jam was popular was well. It had a somewhat anime chibi style characters that had an arrow in front of them that showed the direction you were facing as well as being able to run. Sorry for bad explanation, but its the best I can describe what I remember. I also feel like the name of the game had Project in it? I'm not sure, but don't let that throw you off.

The only 1 I got top of my head was this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lost_Vikings
An old game which is far-fetched to your description.

After some more in-depth search I got something else, though it doesn't feel the right one: https://www.google.ro/search?q=lost+saga+16&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjm1rSigbnYAhWQL1AKHVJyCfMQ_AUICigB&biw=1920&bih=949

Hi, there is a pc game from mid-2000 my mother wants to play but she doesn't know the name, she says it's called something along the lines of "kinderman", but I don't think it's right ...
The game is a platform game where the player control something superman-likey, and when he steps on green tiles, the tiles turn red (or viceversa idk), also there are huge-ass spiders that if they touch the "hero", the hero dies. I'm not sure but maybe there's an airplane too?
Please, if someone have even a guess, tell me.

I remember playing this old Playstation game. I wanna say PS1. It was turned based. And the whole thing was you are a kid in your village. Your dad is gone. And you are traveling through these mirrors. Each one is it's own world and you are trying to clear them to make it to the Birdman at the last mirror. I never finished the game. Last part I got to I was through a couple of the mirrors (there were only like, 5) and I met some guy guarding a bridge. And I didn't remember the password someone else gave me, so he killed me. Last I remember of it.
Anyone know? I tried googling my butt off and I can't find any pictures or references too it.

It plays like FFX. I remember that.

hi there's this one game I've been trying very hard to remember but I can't think of the name!
all I can remember is that it is a 2d side scrolling platformer where you play as a ninja. i played it on my pc as a kid so I guess it's a pc game. some other things I can remember is that the first stage of the game was like grassy and it had enemies that were cats and other small animals, I think.

one more thing that game couldn't have been any older than 2000s but it was definitely made before 2010.
