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

[korossyl]

Hey guys.
It's gonna be vague, cuz I played this game around early 2000s, but I will try to put all details I remember.
It was a win 95/98 game. It wasn't a dos game, because I remember it having a launcher [it was something completely new for me]. The launcher was just a standard rectangle with buttons like "start game" and "options", but there was also a "troubleshooting" button [the 10 yo me was fascinated by that word, because I'm not a native speaker].
The game itself was a top down "space" shooter. You were piloting a Millenium Falcon-like space ship and you were shooting other ships [at least I think it was the main objective of the game]. I put "space" shooter in quotation marks, because you weren't fighting in space, but on the surface of planets of your own choice. The planet/level selection screen was also something innovative back then so I remember it strongly. I think I also was able to pick different space ships, but I'm not sure about that. I also remember that one of the planets [I think it was the first, default level] was dark green/brown and another level was like dark blue and black. Also the graphics were very good for those times. I remember it not being as pixely as other games from that era. The ship and the planets had that weird "modeling clay" Donkey Kong Country feel. Or at least that's how I remembered it, I'm not 100% sure about that.
I know the informations I provided are really not precise, but I have flashbacks of this game for years now and I really wanna play it again. Hope you can help me.

I would try:
Raptor: Call of the Shadows
DemonStar
Stargunner
Tyrian

Ok, I've been trying to remember this one for awhile. It was a racing game, where your character was a robot/person that transformed into a motorcycle. That is all I can remember except, I know it was after 2002 when we had it, and it was on PlayStation.If you can remember this, thanks.

I remember playing this game before 2010.. It was like world war game or something.. There was a campaign, It had different countries you could choose like Russia, USA, Iran/Iraq and you would build a base, troops and attack the other enemy's base. You would start it out with a HQ and go from there.

Command & Conquer series? > it could be the first installment, or the Red Alert one?

ur the man...... thank you, i was trying so hard to remember this game...

Hello,
Was looking for a game for a while, or better to say for a long long time.

It supposed to be lately 90-s game. First person with some RPG elements.
You start by landing on a parachute in some sort of jungle/forest. By killing 'lizzard men' and other enemies, i guess, you could get their skin and make some clothes, could use bandages, sewing kits, anidotes and so on, as i remember.
Also there is snowy mountains location.

It was more than 15 years ago, so thats all i remember. Would appreciate if someone can help me find this game.

Sounds like Robinson's Requiem.

Please if you can recall, I can't can't can't seem to find this game after hours of searching online!

It's a kids Cd-ROM game from somewhere between 1998-2001. something i think you could pick up at a book fair during that era, but it wasn't a education game.


I think its isometric and 3d.

Your character is stranded on some alien planet where you are trying to collect pieces of a broken spaceship or transporter or something.

there are aliens (most are friendly) that live in villages and caves as well as robots.

throughout the game you are helped and communicating with some young scientist guy (I think he has red hair and a white lab coat).

The game play has pattern puzzles like finding the right path to walk through in an alien garden as well as finding keys and getting past electric pathways.

I don't think you can be violent or attack.

That sounds like Dr. Brain Thinking Games: IQ Adventure!

Dude thank you so much!!! It totally is, you are spot on. I've spent so much time trying to find this game over the years. I very much appreciate it!

so the game im trying to figure out was on PS1. It was a fighting style game similar to that of tekken.. all i remember was in the final battle you face this pirate looking guy and once you beat him, a skeleton form of him appears and now you have to battle him.... at the end the cutscene ends with the sword in the ground and blood around. any ideas?? thanks

Could that have been Kinetica?

Could that have been Soul Blade, an early Soul Calibur game? Here's a video starting at the final boss fight with fleshy-then-skeletal pirate Cervantes/Souledge:

I don't remember the name of the game, either, but I remember the game! I had it on a Windows 95 shareware CD, I think, from a company with a name like "Show and Go". I'm sure it was on other shareware discs, though.

I am trying to remember a game I played a long time ago, it was either on PS2 or PS3, but it would have been early PS3 as I do remember there were no trophies. The main character was a male, had black hair, a red headband, and he had a magical ability that made a blue blade come out of his hand when he swung it. It could be charged, and the longer it was charged, the longer the blade would get. I know it was a JRPG, and I am pretty sure it was based on an Anime or ended up having an anime based on it. I know it had a story line too it too, and it involved helping or saving a young girl, and I know her brother was involved. There was also a scene where you were shipwrecked on an island and had to find a way off of it. The enemies were monsters. 3D in style. That is all I can remember.

Trying to think of a few PC games from 90s/early 2000s. Any help appreciated.

One game was a point-and-click adventure/mystery game where I think you were a dragon or dinosaur that was green with yellow hair/spikes. At one point you talked to a seagull. You also took a picture of a lifeguard and he was eaten by a shark when you took it.

Another few games were in a collection, on a CD I think. One was a zorb race game where you play as someone inside a ball racing against other people. Dark colours in city landscapes. In another game in the collection you were in the desert and you were a leopard or lion or tiger, having fights with other ones.

Thanks

Could the first one have been Snap Dragon?

Thanks, but no... It was like a diagonal top down view game and the part with taking a pic was only one part of the mission. You had to do all these little tasks that would bring you further and further along in the game. Like finding clues etc.

Hey guys, I'm thinking about a game that I played a long time ago, I forgot for which console, but it was like a dungeon cralwer type of game. It was 3d really old, I remember playing it back in to 90s. If I remember correctly, there was an arcade game for it, where you can choose different characters/class. And them as a team you would go to different levels, and you wuold choose levels by going to this round area with circles on them, the circles being the entry way to the level, kind of like a crash bandicoot set up.

 

[Feeya95]

I can only recall a small part of this game from back in the early 2000s. It was definitely kids PC game and 2D cartoon style animation and may have been Australian. The only part I remember is trying to collect blue crystals in the desert while trying to shoot down vulture type birds. I also vaguely remember having to clear sand to find the crystals maybe? Not a lot to go by, but hoping someone else remembers it.
Thanks!

So, I've been trying to remember this game for a long time now, sadly, there isn't much information I can give.
It's either a PS or PS2 Game and it could've been a demo version.
You know, like this CDs in magazines that had I don't know 7 or what demo versions of games.
Maybe around 1998-2006 (says not much tho since the game could've been released at a much earlier date), a Action/Adventure/Shooter/... not really sure what Genre/s exactly.

I do think the first level starts with you falling down into a subway, can't add more to that tho.
You had to collect keycards in order to enter through closed doors - like a lvl 4 keycard *- (who would've thought that) and to be honest that's all I can remember.
Oh one thing, there was something you had to do with a production line I think, like stopping it to be able to walk on it so you can get to the other side (that was blocked or just inaccessible, don't know).

The game reminds me of Syphon Filter, Metal Gear, Resident Evil ... for some reason, but I think I'm just mixing games together to fill missing gaps in my memory.
* That's also where I think I'm filling gaps with memories of other games, like the keycard probably comes from Metal Gear.

I know it's close to nothing, sorry.

sorry for bad english

Okay so there was this car game that I got introduced to years ago during our tech time at summer camp. I've racked my brain over the years and have researched and worded it in every possible way on Google - which had lead me to this. I created an account just for this. Like I said, its car game and I don't remember it all that much since it's been awile but it was super fun. I believe that you could drive around wherever in the world and if I remember correctly, you were actually the car. You could pull into your own house and when driving around you could see other "drivers" (cars) and get into crashes... That's all I really remember, but if y'all could hep, that would be fabulous! Thanks ahead of time!

The game might be way older than you remember. Try "Alien Force" (1990).

 

[ryclarky]

Hoping someone can help me out here. This one isn't that old, I'm thinking I played it 8-10 years ago. It was a browser based 2d shooter where you shoot enemies and absorb them when they die. It seems your character and the enemies were all built up from small bubbles and the weapons you had shot out bubbles too. As your ship/character evolved your bubble guns' size and quantity would change along with the size and makeup of your your ship. You fight enemies screen by screen and can exit either to the top, left, right, or down to a new screen. The screens and enemies seemed to be randomly generated. Thanks!

Most probably it was one of Bubble tanks [http://www.herointeractive.com/games/bubble_tanks/?p=1] games (there is a series). Uh, did you even try to google it?
