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

Repost.

1- PC game. I played it in windows 98, maybe it was 2002 or 2005, i can't remember.
2- It's a topdown perspective game, like BomBerman for example.
3- It's battle arena; you move with keyboard and shoot with mouse. You chose your vehicle always turns to the direction of your pointer.
4- The Graphics ARE NOT cartoon type (Mario, Sonic, bomberman...these are cartoons, my game isn't.)
5- The gameplay is a bit similar to the PC game BaboViolent (but not so 3D like).

It has scifi sounds, and sometimes, when you do a good kill, you could hear applauses and crowd noises like in a real stadium.

All i remember is...

I got this game in a old cd magazine, one of these magazines that contained a cd-room with many games, usually most of them were not good games, just random flashplayer games.

In this game you choose your vehicle, map, amount of players and game mode... in same screen. (maybe there was a multiplayer option)
Then a loading screen appears, with a picture of some kind of stadium, outside the stadium at night, with lights.

The vehicles are looked like scifi drones, or shuttles, of different designs.


While ingame, you could find different weapons and also healing items; to pickup them you just need to pass throug it. When you die(explode) you would respawn in a random area.

Pressing left-click you fires the main weapon of your vehicle in the direction of your mouse pointer. I remember one of them had a sticky red granade, it would stick to your vehicle if it hit you.

I found a very similar game. Armor Critical. But the game i'm looking for has not such poor design. The ships(vehicles) where well made, and walls too; also the ground had a good texture ...

Omg how i want to play this game again...

Looking for the name of a PC science/math game that was sort of like sim city, but you had to answer questions. I remember one was about receiving payment.. Based on weight or something you had to decide whether it was a gold coin or lead. The first building you make is a bike shop and you continue on from there making mines, labs, car factory, etc etc... I thought it was called Eureka but I was unable to find it.

WELP! Was trying to fall asleep and for whatever reason I had crap runnin through my head.... The word genius popped up... Yup... thats it.. Geniu$: Tech Tycoon.. Good GAWD Ive been thinking of this for over a year....

I would also like to add two games. Both are PS1 games (and are from the PAL region).

One of the games is a 2D Zelda-esque game, where I distinctly remember entering a palace and fighting a giant head, not much more info than that.

The other game was a top-down 3D RPG fantasy game. I remember that the overworld enemies looked like ghosts/sperm. I also believe that you find some kind of yellow chicken thing in a cave? There was also a desert town where you met your rival/nemesis?

Any help would be appreciated!

EDIT: Just managed to find that the second game was Guardian's Crusade. Any help on the Zelda-esque game would still be appreciated though!

Ys?

Hi,

Sorry I don't have much to go on at all, but would really like some help finding this game:

It's from around 1994-1997, and could be on SNES/N64/Megadrive/PS1 (or a system from that 93-7 era).

If I remember correctly there was a short right to left (maybe 2.5 or 3D?) section at the beginning, either underground or in a cave system before the game turned into a more regular platformer/side scroller.

If I recall most of it was set underground, and it was similar to Flashback/Out of this World in terms of cinematic elements but a little more arcadey (so like a mix of those and Prince of Persia/Castlevania/Abe/EW Jim [that type of platformer, but with a little more of a SF/apocalyptic feel to it]).

Again, sorry I don't have more to go on. It's a platformer I used to speed run in an hour or so, and was very good for speedrunning iirc. If I remember any more specifics I'll add in. Any help clawing this one back from the brink would be very much appreciated.

I remember playing a game around 2011 but the memories are really blurry
It was a first person style game that had 3d graphics or graphics like old doom games
It may be a shooter game or a spaceship game but I remember shooting some guns
Also one level started with a red room with lights coming from the floor like those old triangular shaped car lights
later on in that stage there was a large room with extremely high roof that was mostly colored red(I guess)
There were flying robots or monsters as enemies
That's all I can remember
If you can try to guess the game I really appreciate it
(And I am not a native speaker so If there is something wrong with the English you can correct me)

Ok, this is gonna be choppy, but I have vague memory of a first person adventure game, where the earth's gravity is messing up, as represented as a cow floating up in an early screen, and you have to travel into the earth to fix it. I remember it had some FMVs in the beginning, and featured some half machine half animal creatures. I remember one was a camera and some kind of lizard, I'm thinking bearded lizard but I could be wrong. I remember one puzzle featured a having to record a lullaby on a cassette, and one room featured the line, "This place feels like some kind of steam cleaner" and the response had something to do with steam wasn't allowed cause it made the creatures rust. This has been bugging me for ages and if anybody has a clue as to if this game even existed that would really be appreciated.

I remember playing a game in the early 2000's on PC. It was a train game, I remember if you hadn't explored an area yet it would be black and when you go there it maps out an area in a circle around you, wherever you go (I remember doing this part in a handcar). I also remember there was a part where the trains were in a living room as if they were meant to be toy trains.

I have been looking for this for year and minutes after posting I found it. It was "Lionel trains town deluxe."

 

[Cristobal Martin]

Very simple.

PS1 game where:

- You could grab your enemies with some kind of electricity and smash them with the ground from side to side.

- The electricity came from a robotic arm i think your character had.

- Sometimes the elecricity could turn RED or GREEN depending on something that charged i don't know from what.

- I think game style and graphics are very similar to the ones at "Oddworld" (Abe oddysee)

- Finally there was a level where you had at the background some "OBEY" signs similar to the actual brand... it's just a detail maybe someone remembers the same xD!


Thank you for your time! I just can't find the name of this game around the web.

I used to play this game that you made monsters and explored this castle/mansion thing on an island. It played it when I was a kid in the 90's and early 2000's. It looked like everything in the game was made out of play dough. In one room you could cook things and there was like this spaghetti monster. You could create different things in different rooms. It was a weird little game. They also made a spin off of the game that was a math game but I don't care about that one. I think there was another room that was like a lab. And there was a gallery that you could go see all of the monsters you had created. Everywhere you went in the castle there were different types of monsters. There was a monster that chilled in the corner of your screen the entire time that was like a dog monster thing and if you clicked on it then it would take you back to the original room or something. Please help me if you know what I'm talking about!

Would that be NEVERHOOD?

 

[mcshulte556]

Alright, a game I played as a kid.
You are some guy who has control of a very powerful demon, who around the start has it ripped from you and divided into pieces (8-9?) throughout the game, you run about killing monsters/demons and reclaim the pieces of the demon you used to control (pretty sure it was body parts) this was on the PS2 and I really hope someone knows the game, I've been trying to find it for years

 

[Joshua Moncrieff]

Can anyone please help me, its been driving me insane, years ago in primary achool, sometime in the mid 90's, i played 2 games, One had you play as a chinese man headed to the australian gold rush, you had to buy supplies, and a guide and choose how and where to search for gold, and then who to cash your gold into, you could die or get ripped off.

the second one was made by the same people, it had you play as a convict on the first fleet, and your aim was to sure both on the trip there, and during the backbreaking days once you made it to land

i cannot seem to find any information on these games

 

[PrettyDarling666]

I remember playing this really cool game. I remember it was on PC, and it would have been between 2003 and 2007.
You were this person, and you had to travel in these locations. It looked really pixelated, kinda old school. You collected fruits for points.. wasps killed you, and you could climb trees and jump and stuff.

I also remember that at the end of every level you had to go into like a portal type thing, it was kinda blue and purple and in a silver frame. And that when you died you reappeared at the last checkpoint you went through.
And the title screen had gold font and kinda flashed like those old arcade games and the background changed through the levels. One of the levels was like a forest, and it had multiple stages so you'd play like 1.1, then 1.2 etc.

The title screen was green and gold with a forest background and the text used to flash or glitter. Also remembered that you were a girl and monsters or something stole either your parent or partner and that's why you went through the portals.

Anyone have any luck finding this game?

I think the game I played when I was younger were played by me in 2003-2006 years.

It's an 2D game. Characters were very tiny and had big eyes if I'm not mistaken.

This was an building game. In this game you had to go underground to find some minerals like gold.

You could build some factories or something, houses and many other similar thing to speed up your work.

It had adventure elements like fighting some monsters(there were some big worms eating your people).

On starting screen there was an tower with sorcerer or dragon(I don't remember exactly ).

It wasn't a game like Settlers, more like lemmings or something like that(2D and other stuff).

It probably had multiplayer. It looked like it was in middle age, but had balloons to fly in and windmills, I think so.

Of course it was a PC game.

I hope someone will know what game I mean.

Anyone reckon this game???

 

[Tamashisblade]

An old game I played in the earlier 2000s on pc, it was a 2d strategy game, that was real time I believed, also the teams were different colors. The number one thing I remember from the game was these teeth like jaws that you used to spread your color. Any ideas?

 

[pitrakplz]

Hi, I have been looking for this game that i played when i was in kindergarten this was maybe in 2004 but it may have been older than that.
Description of the game is quite simple you are some sort of flying egg shaped thing and i think it had a helicopter like propeller at the top and you were able to control that. What you would do is go around in the stage that was usually square and drop blocks so the stage would be filled but there were spiked object that could kill you
If you could remember this game i thank you in advance.

 

[Izaya_reijy]

Hi guys. i am also searching for a game i played during my child hood.
i remember that it has something to do with a boy and a dragon. you can choose 3 different types of dragon partners to play with. And you work with that dragon you chose to protect a tree from monsters at night. you can grow the tree, or build a underground tunnel too after you looted enough resource to build from the monsters. During the day you grow and build, to prepare for the night when the monsters attack.

Hope someone know this game ;-; I've been searching for it for a long time. I'll be really happy if someone can help me. Thank you.

no one? ;-;

I'm looking for a game that I played some years ago, but it can be older.
This game is basically a very simple 2d platformer game but with complex level.
I only remember that the protagonist is a chicken and there was some hedgehogs as enemies. This game is divided in level and stages and i remember that a stage was named "roaster island", maybe.

Sorry for my english
