Looking for a Playstation One, game for my brother. It was his favorite game. It was a Military game had tanks and he said he remembered the General or someone yelling "Hell Fire Red" as you would shoot. He is about to retire I would love to get this for him as part of a retirement gift.

I know at least one person has asked about this game, but the answer given is not the correct one. Its a PC game from early 2000s (so Win NT/Windows 2000 platform probably). You have to get a this geeky spectacled guy from one side to other side, there are large crevices/gaps, you have to move blocks to fill those gaps and then you can walk across. Sometimes the blocks are on platforms which you climb using ladders, and drop the blocks into the gaps, then climb down and go across. Once you go across, you unlock the next level. Some levels have ice and you can slide on it, again there might be gaps in the ice which you fill with ice blocks. The game got really complicated as levels rose. Some of the higher levels had a timing aspect so you have to time your dropping of block/sliding else you can't cross. The game was made by a small Canadian company I think which got bought by a larger company and they never made a sequel.

NO, THE GAME IS NOT CHIPS CHALLENGE. Please help me.

Note: someone else made a similar game on the original ipad with the same concept where instead of the spectacled guy, you had a hunky guy who have to make it across to rescue his princess/girlfriend. This other game was called a different name altogether and I can't remember that one too, dangit.

Its somewhat coming back now - I think the game was called Professor something, the geeky guy was a professor.
Also I vaguely remember the company that made the game had another game which was popular which was train related.

Hey guys, first time here! Hope you can help me out with this PS1 game. I remember it like a racing game, although i dont recall the type of the vehicles we use, but i know we could put some things in our vehicle like numbers and stuff, it wasnt a Driving Simulator like Gran Turismo or TOCA, was more childish like micromachines or revolt but not these ones. I remember one of the assets i used to put in my vehicle was like an Fried Egg sticker or something. I dont remember anything more, except i know i just played in a DEMO and not the full game.

Best Regards

14-15 years ago i played a PC game. It was a single role-playing game where you looked at your char in a view similar to diablo. The game mechanics was that the abilities increased as you used them and there was a red bar inside every actionkey that filled up more and more after using it. This was the same for every type of weapon and for all spells. If you used fireball you would progress in strength there. Please, if anyone knows what im talking about. Have been looking for it for over 10 year.

Hey guys! Google can't seem to help me with this game, assuming it even exists and I didn't just make it up in a dream or something, which is honestly what I'm starting to believe. I figured I'd give this a shot anyway, just in case.

It has to be either a PS1 or PS2 game, and I'm leaning towards PS1, but I remember the graphics being really good. (Could just be rose-tinted-glasses talking though.) You start off in this desert-like area when a guy ambushes you and takes a book from you, I think. You follow the path to this lab-like area, and the only thing I could ever find to interact with was this red elevator-looking thing. If you go in it, it takes you up to the room where the guy with your book is, but there's no way to open the door. You just see the guy working through the big window, and he looks up to taunt you about how you must want your book back. "Looking for this?" I think he says some other stuff, then the only option is to go back down to the lab area.

I never got any farther than that since I never figured out how to get any items or interact with anything besides the elevator. It's one of those games I'd really like to go back and get revenge on... if it's actually real.

I played quite a hard game as a child and have to find it so i can complete it. Platform ps2 i think. Set in a dark themed underground world where your save-point is at a payphone at a train station of some sort. Main protagonists seem to be two agents that act as soldiers or enforcers. One wears a red coat and initiates a turn by turn based combat system by slashing an enemy with his sword. One is a more mature character with silvery blonde hair who simply kicks an enemy. Hitting an enemy first gives you an advantage and likewise if the enemy hits you. It was a 3rd person RPG of sort and I would guess by the graphics of Japanese make.

Enemies varied from these little fluffy monster things you'd expect at the start of an rpg to massive boss type monsters.

The beginning areas were in tunnels or ruins of a bunker, like getting from one station to another. You start in a station city and the path from one station to another is shut down so you are sent there through a more difficult route. You can find items that can be appraised at the city which makes backtracking frequent. I found the game to be rather hard as a child. If anyone has any idea I would be immeasurably grateful. Timing would be pre-2007, perhaps quite a bit earlier.

I can't remember when this game cam out, but I remember playing it when I was about 6 or 7

In this game you go around a school and discover that there are aliens, I believe it was an adventure click-them-up with some clever writing. It may have been an edjutainment game, I'm not sure.

I don't remember a lot of this game but if this rings a bell to anyone please get back to me.
thank you!

It's not a perfect match, but might it be the first Dungeon Siege? The viewpoint matches, the release date is off by less than an year, and attributes increase by use. Though it's not quite as complex as you describe.

Unfortunaly no. The UI doesnt match. In the game im looking for the actionbuttons were placed at the bottom of the screen, in the middle.
Thanks for the reply though. :)

Hey, created an account just to post these. It's bugging me so much.

A mostly text based game with a bluish background, where you explore a futuristic city (from a bird's eye view). It was kind of a detective game and you talk to people. There may have been also some mini games. There is a part where a woman tells you to defuse a bomb that's going to blow up the city. IF i remember correctly, it was from the early 2000.

I had played a game guess 10 years ago where the characters were a knight, archer and sorcerer..there sorcerer used a spell where he uttered the word INVOGARE..and lighting struck the opponents..the knight was at the front with 3-4 characters behind..cant remember the game..the characters upgraded as you won more duels...
By your description, I believe you mean Disciples : Sacred Lands, the first of a series of turn-based strategies. The characters you describe are basically your units, and one of those is a hero as in Heroes of Might and Magic, however participates in battle. As funny as this might sound, the INVOGARE part is what gave it away for me, can't hear it anywhere else ;)

Hello all,
- This is one I have just never been able to find, and it's very frustrating! It was a top-down RPG sort of game. I think it was 3D graphics but then my mind always remembers old games appearing better than they actually did, so probably isometric 2D.

I remember there was a warrior-type bloke, and a sorceress-type lady. Can't remember if you played both at once or had to choose which one to play. There was a panel on the right-hand side of the screen where you could re-arrange armour and weapons and probably items, and it also contained a portrait of your character. You'd travel through maps of typical forestry/plains/mountains/towns as far as I can recall, finding items and killing monsters and stuff.
Rage of Mages 1/2, perhaps?

The nostalgia weighs heavily on this thread ;)

This should be an easy one for you, since I remember quite a lot of the game (except for the bloody name, apparently).

It's a late 90's up to early 2000's RTS, post-apocalyptic or futuristic setting. There are 3 or 4 fractions, as far as I remember, all humanoid. One was more like Command and Conquer's GDI, with some neat-looking units with lasers and stuff, another was more like C&C's NOD, with some evil tone to them, weird unit voice over, using some bizzarre torture technology, such as spiked vehicles with attached saws, flamethrowers, emitting toxic gas, etc.
There were units, as far as I remember, common for all fractions, and such that are unique to the 'race'. A common unit that I liked to use as support was some van with a minigun attached to the top, and was fairly expensive compared to the others.

The most important detail is : YOUR UNITS RUN OUT OF AMMO. At least the sort that would fire some sort of projectile - bullets, rockets, etc. You could, at least in missions, pick up randomly placed crates of ammo that will replenish it, but I can't remember any other way of recovering ammunition.

I can hardly remember any infantry being there in the game.
I can't remember anything regarding game economics. You used dollars, or credits, or something as currency, but how you acquired them is beyond me. How you built your structures I can't remember too.

I mentioned unit voice over, it was really poor, and you would easily get tired of hearing the same lines over and over.

Hopefully someone here has played it.

Hello, This is a bit of a long shot but it has literally been bugging me for years and I have very little information on the game

Im 19 and I think i remember playing this when I was 4/5/6ish, possibly on a computer but thats not definite

Right I remember what I think was a time machine and you end up in a creepy house with crooked corridors? I remember one scene where you open a door but it is locked with one of those chain lock thingys.. Thats literally all I can remember, the game had a tendency of crashing whenever I played it

Thanks aha
