I remember playing this old game on my dad's computer that had a prospective like the first legend of zelda where you would start by giving your character their spells and such then you would start in this town where you could get your equipment then you would have to go into a dungeon and play from there i think (I never made it that far) I think the title is castle of the wind 2 if that is the title can someone tell me if its possible to play it again.

maybe this is what you're searching for:

Castle of the Winds 2: Lifthransir's Bane (PC) (1993)
Thanks I didn't remember a subtitle but it would be nice to play it agian

Well I dunno if It can be played again, maybe on an old computer (it's an old game, so it could only run on those old ones..); I had a wonderful game that I wanted to play on a new computer as well, named "Corsairs" =~~

There was this game I played, it was on the Pc (Could have been an emulator though, I can't remember) Pixel, sidescrolled, you were this crocodile or aligator, and it had a red shirt (I think) And a caps. That's all I remember, and something about hot dogs... If anyone remembers the name of that game I would appreciate it, cause I really want to try it again

And there was this other game, it was... A kiddie game about a.. Playmo figure (I think) named Laura.. I know it's probably too childish for me now, but I want to see what it was! It was someting about a squirrel too...
I want to say "Alex The Allegator" http://www.freelunchdesign.com/games.php?id=7

I'm still in the middle of searching the 29 pages, but I figured I try and see if anyone knows the game I'm looking for.

It was a free-ware PC game I found in the 90's, maybe early 2k.
It's Almost identical in style to Pokemon (There were monsters you caught, they had a list of moves, and I can remember that there was an ice cube and a water drop monster).
It was never completed as far as I know, but there were two gyms, and in the 3rd gym it said that the game is in progress.
There was an over world map where you could see all the locations, and there were two gyms, a tower (the 3rd gym if I recall), a few shops, and dungeons.
The battle animation was very basic. The attacks were glowing spheres that flew (rather slowly) across the screen.
Also, you could play as a boy or a girl, and the dungeons were hard to move around in because it was a top view low quality 3d from a 45 degree angle.

The reason I'm looking for this game, is because the intro screen's theme music was awesome. All off the music was pretty cool, and I remember there was a gentle guitar tune in it too, but I distinctly remember the intro's electronic tune.

I want to hear it again, so please help me.

Castle of the Winds 1 and 2 are free to play on the creator's website. They are DOS though, so you may need Dos-Box or something to get them to work.

Hey There,

This is going down a bit of a memory lane thing!!!
But I'm trying to find the name of a space invader type arcade game from the mid - 80's but don't know the game.
The game play would see the aliens fly down and around in circles with the the players space craft flying around the outside of the aliens - once the level was clear would zoom into the middle of the screen off to the next level!!!

It's not galaga or anything like that..... if anyone knows the name and where I can find it online to play that would be really cool.

Thanks

There is a game i really want to find out as i cant remember if it was a dream or if it was real because everytime i mention it i feel it isnt a game at all but maybe one of you guys may have seen it.

it put you in an office block and you wake up as like a green crocodile or something and you have to find out what has happened to everyone as they are all crocodiles too. i think there are guns and keycards and stuff like that in it too from what i can remember. there is a lift at the end of the hallway for you to change floors. it is a sort of sidescrolling, scrolling both ways

if anyone can tell me what game this is it will be so helpful
Thanks
i remember it being played in ms dos so it is a rite age now.

I REMEMBERED WHAT IT WAS CALLED! It's Battlepets. So if anyone else was looking for it, that's what it's called.

2 Games I need help with:

#1 is an older PC game, I remember playing it as a demo at a Mediaplay. I want to say it was around the same time as "Sims Afterlife" so.. 1996? Basically you were a farmer? and you had to build a farm/house and every night demons or some monsters came, and you had to build traps and pits to defend your farm.

#2 again an older PC game. This one I actually owned. I remember it was again probably around the same time perhaps a bit newer 1995 to 2000? It was a turn-based strategy, much like X-com enemy unkown. I think you hand only 6 squad members though. The box I think had a red power armor / mecha on it. You could get new "power cores" which gave you more movement points during your turn. Of course many different guns and weapons. If I recall you did have guys inside of the armor, but it was defiantly power armor... I remember the better the armor the different colors it was...

Any Ideas?

Please help!! I remember playing an older PC game (FPS) that had worm like enemies(I think) that popped out of the ground. I remember that at one point i went up a cliff and fought a few at some sort of ruin or destroyed town on top of the cliff. I also remember you had to rescue some weird looking guys friends(who looked like him) with a jet pack. They were hanging from floating platforms in the sky. I would REALLY appreciate it if someone could tell me what this game is.
Isn't there any of the WORMS games like WORMS ARMAGEDDON?
thanks but thats not it :(

I am trying to find an old Robot game I played on my mac probably back in the mid to late 90's.
Basically, from what I can remember, the map is this all black space, with different color'd grid markers on it. There were different robots you would send out to ( I think) gather up grid power. I also remember there being different types of robots that would wander around, such as repair robots, Harvesters, and Attacking robots. You would play against the computer, and send attacking bots on their grid, while I think keeping defensive robots on yours.
The main thing I remember was that it was an all black space with bright color'd robots and grid markers on it.

Plz help me remember this game

There is this one game I have been trying to remember for years and it has been driving me crazy. It was in the late 90's/early 2000's I think and my brother and I had it on our old Mac. It was a fantasy rpg game, first person and what I remember is that the game started in the basement of some castleish building where all these other characters were in tubes. The first thing you did was go around and pick other characters for your party. The game was really hard and all I remember is that you were constantly running through hedged mazes and were chased by goo creatures and I think wolves. You could create spells by combining different elements (although I could never get it to work) and there was a door with a circular key that was broken into several pieces that you had to find. I never made it very far, as I said, it was incredibly difficult haha. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I can't believe it, but I found it. It's only taken me like 10 years haha. It was dungeon master 2 if anyone is interested. Goodbye work, see you in a few days.

Looking for a PS1 game, late 90s. You played as a blonde boy with a gun that shot bubbles. I think the first level was some sort of mansion with different doors that led to different levels. I think the game is called 'bubble boy' or something similar. It was a third-person platformer/adventure. It's killing me and any information would be greatly appreciated. Cheers.

EDIT: Found it. It's called Rascal.

I can't remember the name of my first PS1 game..In it I think you were a 10-year-old boy with a gun that shoots bubbles or something similar. Some of the enemys were bats I think. I think it was a FPS.

Then there was this another game my brothers used to play on the PS1 (Game we bought with the PS1). It was a 3rd person shooter and it had co-op. The bulelts the guns shot looked the same as the fire balls in super mario bros which mario could shoot after he ate something.. Also one of the bosses were a huge turtle which my brothers could never beat.
OMG i remember that game i cant remember the name however =(
the one with the bubbles anyway
The bubble gun one is called Rascal
