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

So there's this game I used to play when I was a kid. It was one of those build-your-own-carnival games that you could download from sites like GameHouse back in the day. I doubt the game still exists, but I want to know what it was so I can try to find it again. In the game, you had tasks to perform, you had to pay attention to your money flow which could be either in the red or green, a time limit to get certain things done, but the main feature I remember was that you have employees that you can adjust the pay of: mechanic, security, janitor, nurse, and one other, I think. If their pay is "too low" they will ask for a raise and if you refuse, they'll quit and you'll have to hire again. You can pay for advertisements for your carnival, and there were a bunch of other features that I can't remember. The graphics weren't the best, and were kinda pixelated. I really want to know what this game was called. If you know which game I'm talking about, please let me know. Thanks.

Okay so, there was this one game i wanted to remember. I had it on my phone like a couple years ago. Its like these small little characters and they go against other characters. They crawl along the playing field and you can like aim and try to shoot your enemy. But i cant remember the name.

Im looking for a game where u can play alone or with friend from the same pc, the game must be from around 2000-2005 not so bad graphics its 2d while the levels are on one screen, the main characters are monsters with something like hunch and they must jump and hit the boxes like super mario, to stun the ants and bugs and after that they must kick them so they die, i also remember the first boss was a big rat with hat and jaket and u had to jump and hit him while he is above the boxes so many times before he die, also from some boxes droped random bonuses like lifes and etc. Thats all i remember...... PLEASE HELP ME, TY ALL

 

[Amperro]

So im looking for a very old game! It was 2D, there was a room which was filled with boxes and bricks and u had a green worm-like character that only moved left & right. U could also build your owm maps to play. You couldnt directy control the movement but u could edit the map to do so.. if u hit a wall it just goes from leff to right and vice versa. The character looked like a green worm and moved like a slinkey. Could ba a spring aswell i dont remember.

Similar to Myst, etc, in terms of puzzles, graphics, and atmosphere.
I played it on the PC. Not sure if 90s or 00s. I don't have much to go on so Googling it and asking around has been a nightmare.
A forest, at night. A bright moon in the sky. Many consecutive left, right, choices, etc. I had them memorised as a kid. Traversing through the maze would, I think, lead to a tower. I know you climb a tower at some point. As in, you scale the side of it. It's first person. You either play no character, or a man.

I'm still here, still searching! I just wish I could even find one other person looking for this game, that they could give me one more detail... I just keep seeing myself clicking through loads of scenes like this! https://imgur.com/a/Ii2vICj

Closest thing I found was this:

Mortalus (1997)

I remember an old PC graphic adventure game where the main character made his living fishing in the ocean. I don't remember a whole lot from it other than I recall needing to get gloves to pull either conches or urchins or something out of the shallow waters, and there was a deep sea fishing rod that I needed to go out and get sharks. My memory is incredibly hazy past this though so it's really gonna be a challenge finding it. If anyone can figure it out I will forever be in your debt.

That reminds me of the Breath Of Fire games, though they were mostly on consoles rather than PC. I know the first 4 games all had fishing in them, and I remember gathering urchins for bait in the first one. The main character in all of them has blue hair, if that rings a bell?

Hi I'm trying to remember a game I believe was on the nes. It looks similar to double moon densentsu in terms of graphics. It was an rpg style game where you start out as a male. They give you I believe abagged lunch every time you rest at home which heals like 15hp. After progressing as this character to a certain point it switches you to a female character. The only other thing I remember is there is wet black powder and you have to use it for a distraction. Any help would be much appreciated!

Just thought I would try to add some more info to this. I would have been playing it around 96-98 so it may have been a snes game. I believe it was a top down game. Equipment in it I believe were swords and the like for standard rpgs.

Ok guys, I signed up for this forum specifically to try and find the name of this game. I used to play it in middle school but it was for school. Really crappy graphics and whatnot (around 2005-2007) pc game. I thought it was for science class. Anyways, you could be either a Male or female character, or a bird who could fly. Super simple just wasd controls, mouse clicked on things but didn't move the camera. It was based in a super small city that was basically an island. The game was also super buggy ( could go under the map and run around if you flew all the way up then flew all the way down immediately) and help would be awesome!!

A game where you escape to places I can't remember but I think you're on a ship and it's 2d but it has 3d graphics It's an old game

I'm trying to remember the name of a PC game that I played the demo of in the late 90s. Probably 1998-1999, but possibly before. I'm pretty sure the player character is female and from what I remember, all of the action takes place in a shopping mall setting with a not-quite isometric viewpoint. (It's a fixed camera with human tank controls.) The game is faction-based and you go around taking various assignments that generally involve killing people (innocent or otherwise) and one of the factions calls itself "The Order". They're hooded cultists and end their dialogue with the phrase: "Spread the darkness of The Order!" One of the other unique aspects of the game that I remember is you can get a plasma cannon as a weapon and when you fire it, the bursts of energy set off a small AoE explosion that sets fire to anyone caught in it. That's about all I have for details.

Thanks in advance!

Could that have been Pax Corpus?

No, that wasn't it. Thanks though!

When you mentioned a female character and assignments you reminded me of No One Lives Forever but that's a 2000 game so it was released too late.
There is also that faction called Fraternity of Order in Planetscape Torment.. Red Faction has cultists...
While I was searching for this, I also stumbled upon a game called Heart of Darkness, apparently it has a plasma cannon and something called the Master of Darkness, it also fits in the time period you specified but nah no way it's this one. Crusader (1995) also has a plasma cannon. All this talk of factions reminds me of games like The Elder Scrolls. I'm sorry, this is all I could think of.

I feel like the game I'm thinking of was kind of playing on the popularity of the GTA games at the time (the first 2, not GTA3), but had a much darker feel to it. Thanks for looking around though.

Project Paradise?

 

[Ytlua]

From what I can remember, it was a PS1 demo and similar to Resident Evil in the sense you move from area to area, for example I remember a pathway with a clear sky backdrop with different pathways which move you into a different area, one of these areas had a waterfall or a river flowing with a tree maybe blocking the route (it may have just been the sound of a river or waterfall), I think there was also a burning city/city in ruins with a dark cloaked figure.

Sorry it?s vague, I really can?t remember the fine details

It turns out the name of the game was The Legend of Dragoon!
I can across the Jampack demo disc collection and noticed a few demos I played as a kid, low and behold there it was!

Hi, im looking for a game which was on a black and white boxed disk of 99 or 101 games for windows, could of been 98,2000 not sure.

Theres a couple of games i remember on it,

One was a pirate game where you defended like a hut in the middle but could also be on a boat.
Some kind of bugs that you had to avoid puzzle game.
and there was a sort of very basic farming game with wheat.

Sorry i dont have much more description of the games, must of been over 15 years ago easily

Just found this screen shot, https://i.warosu.org/data/vr/img/0020/81/1416624093754.gif

Pretty sure this Pirates Plunder game was on it too!

Thanks alot

Ok so from that screen shot ive managed to work out it was 100 smash win95 games, but i need to know the name of that farming game on it, but cant find a list of the games on it

Hey, so I'm looking for an RPG where the main premise of the game is you have an alien/parasite "friend" and it can transform into your weapon. There were 3(?) of these aliens/parasites that you could choose from and each was a different weapon.

The name of the game is slipping my mind but I believe it had X in it, I'm not entirely sure.

Really, the only I can vaguely remember is the tutorial started off with you waking up and the area around you is very disheveled and on fire. Also, I believe at one point in the story you're protecting a store or helping a store if that provides any help.

It is not Prototype, it's a kind of casual RPG, and it was free-to-play.

Honestly, I'm not even sure if the game is still up.

 

[GravityCY]

So i'm looking for a 2d/3d top to down perspective game on the Nintendo ds or wii or one of this "Newer Generation consoles", it's basically like gathering animals, eating animals i'm not quite sure tbh, but it has something to do with animals and you basically get lions and stuff to progress to the next animal, i'm not really sure exactly what the game is but that's all i remember
