Can someone help me. There is this game that I played when I was still a kid. It was like a turn based game about cartoonish tanks that have cartoonish eyes. I can compare it to DDtank/Worms. You can choose from a variety of tanks/vehicles. It has power ups,winds and sudden deaths, some stuff like that. It also has levels where each level, the map changes so as youre rival tank. The player wins if the other tank's lifepoints turned to zero.I really cant recall anymore details of this game. I think this game came from 1990-2000. Youre replies will be much appreciated.
Old Games you remember playing but can't remember the name of.

I'm searching for a game too. And you guys might be my last chance to find it. I'm going to use reddit-style description.
Platform(s): PC or amiga. It was launched from a blue file manager.
Genre: Cave-flyer, shoot em up in a labyrinth
Estimated year of release: 1996 or less
Graphics/art style: more than 16 colors, i think. Top-down view, 2D.
Notable characters: small spaceship, turret, bouncing galaxy thing?
Notable gameplay mechanics: you fly with arrows and can turn (instantly) and fly in all directions. Labyrinth scrolls around you. There are portals which you have to exit, usually guarded by wall turrets. I don't think there was any inertia or gravity. Turrets keep shooting all the time, but their bullets stop at some point. Your range is better so you can shoot a turret you don't even see yet (you see it's bullets stopping in front of you). Some enemies bounce off labyrinth walls.
Other details: many weird backgrounds for labyrinth. One even had daisies (I think) on it. There was a level with dozens of portals to other levels and only one correct one.
I've played in in 1996 on Spitsbergen island and I've been searching for this game since like 2002. Sorry if this is a crappy description, this is my third language.

Hey guys!
I can't remember the name of a game i used to play at school on computers (i was 8 yo i think). I can't really remember all things but i know there was a damaged ship, a "young" boy and a bad guy with a long hat and red eyes (ghost like so he was "faceless") with a long black jacket. I think the point is to escape the ship and finding things to help the boy (point and click ?). It's a "horror" game, not scary but the mood was pretty creep.
I remember the bad guy had a minion with a striped T-shirt, and i remember that he was sleeping in one of the rooms and the boy had to pass this room without making any noise (there was a "trap" in the middle of the room)
That's all ... I already searched on google and some video games websites but i could not find it. Please help XD
Sorry for potato english !

I have a game too! It's a tetris game for PC I played as a child (probably in the late nineties). On the side it had background images of kings and knights that changed as the game got faster. The reason I'm even looking for this is that the music was incredibly haunting (I think it was 8-bit music or something, comparable to the music of faxanadu, a game for nes) and not being able to find it drives me crazy haha. If you happen to know the name I'd be amazed.
Hello everyone!
I'm desperately looking for a game I played when I was younger, somewhere in the early 2000s maybe? and through all my searches no answers came up.
The most I remember is that you were playing as a fairy that could shape shift into vague-ish animals to solve puzzles, and I think there was an evil fairy queen trying to stop you? I'm not sure if she was a queen, but she was evil. At the end of the game she turned to stone and sank to the bottom of the ocean or a lake.
I know this is vague, but this is the most I remember. Anything you guys can suggest would be very helpful! Thank you!

Hi everyone,
Got one more for you and it's -very- vague:
I played the game on the Apple II. It was probably published sometime between, say, 1980-1985. It was probably considered an educational title since it taught logic. You were, I think, a kid in an neighbourhood who solved mysteries. In order to solve them, you went from house to house ( I think it named the streets and such ) and gathered clues that you actually wrote down ( as in, on paper yourself ). I believe you had to gather three different clues that may have included things like locations and like/dislikes, etc. It did have graphics as you could see the streets/houses. If I remember right, once you gained a certain amount of clue, through deduction, you could solve the 'crime'.
Sorry it's so vague, but it's from a long time ago and I only played it at school :>

Hey guys ,
I'm in search of the name of three games on pc:
First game: I played on windows xp,and I'm not sure whether it's run on Windows or Dos,the game was as freeware in 3 parts and 3 different executable, the view is 2d and this is a point and click, a young man must save the world, I remembered there was no audio dialogue, the game date before 2005. Maybe I dowload the game on the site "The underdogs", but I'm not sure about that.
2nd game: I played on Windows 95 (so it's not a Dos game) on cd rom, it was imperative to insert the cd rom in order to start the game, the game is a pinball,and the year was before 2002. The game contains at least 3 different sorts of pinballs, the detail that marked me,there was some sort of super hero in a pinball, but it not a well know hero (so no Duke or Batman etc ...) I believe also remember the existence of a radioactive barrel in the scenery (nop that it was not Balls of Steel) I believe that the game launched in windowed mode, in colors I would say that it was a depth to 16-bit.
3rd game: It was a shareware that I've played in 1997 under windows xp, so that one starts from Windows and not Dos,can be of Spanish origin, but am not sure.
In the begining we play in a aerial view, the game is in 256 colors, when our character is moving towards a kind of hole it goes into a dungeon dans the view switched in 3d,like Eye of the Behodler and the game is a turn based,in that dnngeon you can pick up some stones and place them on the switches that are placed on the ground,to attack a monster you must click on an icon in the shape of a sword, it seems that the game has a "automap",I think the game has "world" in his title but that's not the full title of this game.
And that was not Yendor 2 or Might and magic.
Thanks in advance

Hello guys. I am looking for two games. I really gave my best to find them but with no luck. I hope that u can help me.
The first game was on the PC. I am sure that i bought the game together with Battle Realms and Battle Realms was released in 2001. As far as i can remember the game had some sort of light blue package in addition to the cd
i know that you had more than 2 characters. two of them being a warrior and an archer
the environment of the starting level was grassy and forest-like
shortly after the first level you entered a tunnel or cave like dungeon
you looked at your characters from above
and im not sure but i think that the game was a turn-based rpg
there were many different kind of monsters
The second game was either on the PS1 or the N64
it was a fighting game similar to Tekken and Mortal Kombat
it had dark look
it was pretty brutal
there was a character who looked like a wolf/werewolf who had his own stage where a lot of howling was going on
and another character with a huge sword, brown light skin and no shirt
i think i played the game first when i was 6 or 7 years old so in 2000-2003
I would be extremely grateful if you could help me.
Thanks.

hi! i'm not sure if you've already been told the name yet, or if you've discovered it on your own, but the game you're looking for is called Elroy Hits the Pavement! i had a really hard time finding it again too because i only remembered as much as you did. hope this helps!Samantha Piraino said:
There was a game I played when I was 8 or 9 so the details are a bit foggy.
I played on the computer but there is a chance that it was through an emulator.
The story followed a guy and a girl, and you could chose whih one to play as. With the girl, you're out in the forest when you get attacked by this bear and the guy comes out of no where and saves you. He's injured so you take him back to your town/village. Soon you get kidnapped by one of the men in the town who wants you to marry him and he locks you in his house and you have to escape and the guy recovers and helps you and you two go off on quests together.
That's as far as I ever got in the game, and if anyone knows what I'm talking about, I would love to know the name so I could finish! Thanks!

I remember playing a game in early 2000's. It was a simple PC game. your character was a goblin or ogre or something like that. The only controls you had was left, right and jump. All you had to do was keep jumping up platforms and dodge enemies. If you touched an enemy you would die and you would hear a sound like "oh shi.." It was also in 2 players. I Thinks its name was "Bonkers" (or maybe i am mistaken) but i didn't find it on google. Can anyone please help.
Alright guys, so I have got a weird one. I have been looking for this game the past few hours and for the life of me, can't find it. I played it when I was very young, so I don't remember many details. All I remember is that it was a 2d sprite based platformer (like megaman), you played as a female character that would go through transformations as certain criteria were met (can't remember what they were), and she eventually started shooting magic out of her finger. She would hold her finger out like a kid pretending their hand was a gun, that's the main thing I remember. If I remember correctly, this was a demo on a ps1 demo disk, but I honestly can't say for sure. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

This one isn't exactly a game as much as an old-school game maker. It came on a floppy disk, I seem to recall it having a very generic title like "Game Maker Studio" or something along those lines. It was DOS based and you could make adventure style point-and-click games, it came with a demo game that showed off the capabilities of the engine that was pirate-themed.
Just curious if anyone is familiar with the title of it?

So guys, I'm looking for an arcade game that was pretty similar to Xonix or Qix. Unfortunately I don't remember too much. I played it on Windows 95 (or 98 maybe). In the game there were egg(s) and a chicken (or chickens) too. The objective was pretty similar to the mentioned games, to fence off or claim a supermajority of the playfield.
I know it's not too much info, but I don't think a lot of games were made in this genre that time. Any idea?

Even though you mentioned not remembering the word 'Adventure' how about 'Adventure Construction Set' (Phoenix Software 1981) for the Apple II ? Edit: Sorry, glossed right over the 'DOS' part - my bad.Shaun Kennedy said:
