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
Ok I have found that game: The Inside World (1995) by The Softgame Company of Vermont.

Here two pictures of the game:

Alright so I apologize in advance because I don't remember a whole lot about this game. I just remember I played it in the early 2000s but it could have been a bit older than that, I believe it had 3d graphics (not pixels). The hero was a weird jumping 3d rectangle block that had to save its girlfriend or something? I think I remember it had some pong elements, like the hero would lay down and become a block to hit the ball back and forth. I can't rmwvr many other details, Just that the hero and all his friends were rectangle blocks. Sorry it's so vague :(

Hey guys ,

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.


Thanks in advance
Perhaps Full Tilt! Pinball ( Maxis 1995) ?
No,it's not the right game,in my memory that pinball have some scrolling.
the closest game (with that time-frame) that I can think of is

3D Pinball Express (1999)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GbVV6rIVBKs

but I might be very far from the right one..

Hello, I've been trying to find this game and it's been really bugging me for the longest time.

What I remember:
- Played it as a demo, and it was all in Japanese.
- It was on the PS1
- It was an RPG
- Main character was male, was the only party member for how far me and my friend got
- I remember the intro being a mech battle cinematic
- I was a turn-based RPG where you would input different button combos and would do different moves (ie: hitting square, square, triangle, square would have an energy ball go from the enemy towards the character)

I looked at Xenogears, but that doesn't appear to be it.

Hi guys,

I'm not sure if this has been asked.

But I rmbr vaguely a game, that its setting was in a dark tower. where we had to pick characters, of different jobs and climb the tower. I may be wrong, but I am certain that the whole setting was sort of dark. There were race characters too.

Somewhat RPG like where we can equip them with different weapons etc etc.

I remember playing it sometime mid 2000s, but its so vague sometimes I wonder if its just a figment of imagination.

Hello guys, I'm new here and I feel like this is my last chance to finally find the game I've been looking for for months!
Here it goes: It was a game I played about 10 years ago, but maybe it was older. I remember that in the beginning you play as a young boy who rides on the back of a lion and you control to lion to jump over obstacles. You see everything from the side. Your goal is to outrun a hunter to the jungle so he doesn't cut the bridge. IN the jungle you play as the little boy and you have to do differnet tasks to continue. For example at one moment monkeys throw fruit at you, and at another time you have to help a black panther find her cubs and give them to her so she let's you pass. That's all I remember and I really hope someone knows this game, as I can't find it anywhere! Thanks in advance.

Hello for the past months I have been trying to remember an old ww2 game I played on PC as a kid about 10 years ago. I remember only fragments from it. I think it was first person and it was set in ww2. In the first mission I remember you was suposed to enter an enemy base and stael stomething from a safe. On your way to the base you could get an enemy uniform from a guard post, meet a drunk who would give to you his truck in exchage for a drink and a bridge with enemies guarding it. You could equip the enemy uniform from the begining to cross the bridge in an easier way but it would stop working after you blew the safe or infiltrate the base and blow up the safe and equip it then so it would make your return to the exit easier. Also I think on that bridge when you reurned from the base there was a tank folowing you so you could blow up the bridge with the tank on it.
There must have been like 5 missions total.
Another mission was on a aircraft carrier, you were suposed to decolate with a plane and destroy a bridge before a train would pass on it. I know you could jump from the plane and most of the time kill yourself doing it.
And thats all I remember.

I remember a couple of early 90s PC games I played way back, but can't find any trace of them having ever existed.

One was called Mortum (Mortem?). It was an arcade style top down action RPG where you would build momentum and swing either a sword or an axe at enemies. Cast spells, gain experience, etc. If I remember, the last stage was a boss fight with three scientists.

The other was called House of Hell (not to be confused with the other game of the same name). It was a first person adventure game where you went into a haunted house and solved some very basic puzzles. At the end you got a laser gun to shoot down a door or something. There was no combat.

Both these games were pretty good, but I've never in my life been able to find proof of their existences.
Get "Mortuum" (1995) here. (Freeware, thus legal.)

https://archive.org/details/Mortuum_1020

Keep in mind it's rather a hassle to get it to run properly on nowadays systems.
Best, of course, would be a designated Retro-PC. :-D Then maybe "XP Mode" or a "Virtual Machine".

Hello.
The game I am looking for is a platform action shooter and it was released in the 90's. I had a demo version for pc(win95/98/2k), as far as my memory goes it had only one level. As the first level starts, you can see the main character jumping off his truck, he's bald, has sunglasses and wield a big gun, he looks badass. The player has to jump on platform and shoot at humano?d aliens. Sometimes there are grandma, and in order to trick you, the aliens would disguised themselve into grandmas. The effects were kind of gore, exploding ennemies into gibs. I can't be sure now, but I think there were colored keys to progress in the level. At the end of the demo, you'd see some screenshot of the complete game, including a picture of a forest level with deadly saws and machines. A good 2d looking game overall.

I've been looking for this game since a long time, and I'd be very happy to try it out today. Hope someone can help me. Thanks

Hi there.
I would greatly appreciate any help with this one. It was an 80's early 90's arcade game. I think it was a horizontal scroller, shoot em up?? All I really remember was that your ship flew and gained body parts, until it finally looked like a robot. The more parts you gained the powerful it was. At one stage your ship had a laser that sort of 'swept' the floor. Sounds weird, but really would like to find this one.
Thanks heaps!

another possibility is

Pinball Wizard 2000 (1996)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CapY4vO6r0U

it has a radioactive warning sign and different themes. Apparently only released in Germany although its menu is in English.
