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

Good and bad news... I'm pretty sure that's Disgaea 3: absence of Justice.

holy cow.
looking it up, disgaea 3 is actually a really good match for what I put up. I might have to accept this answer, which is really weird because I've never played any Disgaea game before. But it's just _too_ close to be a coincidence, right?

Got a pretty vague one here but need help!! Mid to late 00s online PC game (addicting games, nitrome kinda vibe) it?s very similar to Jezzball/Fat Slice/Snake in the sense that you are some form of eating creature cutting up shapes and decreasing the overall size of the ?enemy?. Definitely involved percentages. Probably pastel

Can someone please help me with this one?

It's an old game, say beginning of the 2000s. I remember being an RPG game where you controled several characters, one of them being a Minotaur-boy creature (there was also a warrior). It's like a turn-based rpg and the fields were like a chess table. I looked it up and it's sort of like Partia, but instead when you entered a fight, the characters would become bigger. I remember you could fight goblins and other monsters.

I've been dying to remember the name of this game, but no success. Help!

This one's been bugging me for a while. It's a handheld game console from the early 2000s, maybe from around 2001-2008. I can't remember exactly what the console looked like but it had a red and black exterior and had buttons on the right side and arrow keys on the left. The game was black and white, pixelated (8 bit or 16 bit) and simple enough for a 10 yr old to play but still pretty complex.

You would create a robotic/monster-like character that is made up of the head, torso, and legs, and you would move your character around this maze-like dungeon and the mission is to find the exit while defeating enemies that look similar to your character. It was quite difficult to my 10-year old self to find the exit because of the dead-ends and locked doors. And once you run into an enemy (much like in the Pokemon games how you have to battle trainer before you pass them), you go into a battle where you take turns. But during the fight, you don't have any control over how the battle will be played out so you just watch each player taking a strike at the other. Before running into the enemies, you would configure your character's head, torso, and legs to have the best defense and attack. And when you won the battle, I think you were given rewards such as better parts for your character. I remember one of the attacks being a lego-like hand shooting out like Inspector Gadget. I can't remember if there were hp or str stats that affected how the battle played out.

When your character moved across the screen, there was a harsh 8-bit beep, and when you successfully hit or defend in a battle, a low 8-bit beep would be emitted. The map of the dungeon was very simple with thick bordered walls, and sliding doors. Some of these doors would be locked until you defeat the boss.

This is pretty much all I remember of the game, and it's killing me not knowing the name of it. I'm not even sure if anyone's ever played it as well. I might as well archive it in my deepest corner of nostalgia. But I would very much appreciate anyone helping me out!

Help guys, I remember a game that is basically looking for a hidden object, not those modern hidden objects in a bunch of objects. It's like a picture and things that mixes up makes an image looking object, it's a 2D image and if I'm right, I think I played it in a .exe with a bundle of other games inside as well such as Metal Gear Slug. I still remember looking for a hammer but it was either on someone's hair or a wall

Ok, now I need help. It's old sci-fi strategy game with really strange atmosphere. It was with side view and side-scrolling not isometric view like most strategy games. You could choose from three or four maybe different races of alien creatures to play and those were not humanoid creatures - more like wierd, primitive animals floating across the maps. So with those you were able to colonize next planets and teleport from one to another colonizing whole system I think so in the end of the game you were conquering the world in the middle of the system. Of course you were building some constructions with different roles and gathering resources (but actually maybe resources you were getting from factories I am not sure). Maybe also there were some artifacts to gather. I remember game to be very nice looking - well drawn with lots of details so it was not like very very old. Just old But 2d for sure. 90's I guess. I was playing this as a kid and have a lot good memories with it and with its unique graphic style. Every few years I am reminding myself the game and getting huge urge to play but then I am not able to remember myself the name PLS HELP!

Please helppp! I used to play a game at 90's , which was shooter game.I remember the game involved 1 or 2 players depending on ur own wish. anyway, the game was about killing demons or zombies or monsters with guns , the purpose of the game was to reach to final bosses who had like weak points in where shooting them at leads the highest damage. i remember also their was a doctor involved in the game, a lab and some cops. i remember also one of the bosses were a flying monster that i guess had weak point in his stomach. more hints were that the game had like a mother and a baby and unfortunately (not sure) the baby died while going to the lab to defeat the final boss. i don't really remember any hints about the name of the game, but i guess it was dead something or involved the word dead. more hints that it have like 2-3 parts and everyone differ from other. Thanks so much and pls help me to retrieve my childhood game.

Hi! I think this was a racing game. [http://www.kizigamesxl.com/] Anyone know more info about this game?

 

[whatchumacallit]

This one's been bugging me for a while. It's a handheld game console from the early 2000s, maybe from around 2001-2008.

After hundreds of google searches and looking through ebay, toysrus,amazon etc. I finally found it. It's called P-O-X by Hasbro lol. Looking at it again I realize my description wasn't that accurate. Oh well, cheers!

 

[EvgenyK]

Okay so.. I can't remember a lot but I'll try my best. Not sure when this game was release but its pretty old, something like 2000'ish.. Its RTS and I remember there was like 3 factions or something. The first was some kind of blue monsters or whatever they were, the second some kind of green mutated flies and the third was females only faction that used men to build buildings? (Idk..) One thing that I really remember is that there is a day and night cycle and as soon the evening comes, all your population goes to sleep and then wakes up in the morning and continues to expand and work.

Could it be <link=https://www.mobygames.com/game/alien-nations>Alien Nations or its sequel <link=https://www.mobygames.com/game/nations>The Nations possibly?

Oh my god yes! That was "The Nations"! Thanks man!

Hi I'm looking for a game I think was in the (late?) 90's.. but not sure. I'll try to describe as much as I can. It's sort of an educational game. Starts with a 'monkey' kid, in a classroom. They get a pop quiz on ancient greece, and he gets sucked into the chalkboard and ends up in ancient greece. He has to solve all kinds of puzzles about the ancient gods and other stuff. At the end he goes back to class and does his pop quiz. Any ideas?

I need to know if anyone found this game. I have been looking got the same one. Unfortunately this post is from a few years ago, but i'm still looking. This is the exact explanation i give others.. plus the teacher saying " A Horse is not always a Horse ofcourse, ofcourse! "

 

[flap30]

trying to remember a pc game from 90s maybe early 00s. You were on the set of a crime mystery and you had to create a movie by picking clues that made the most sense. I remember one clue with a handkerchief that had the initials ff embroidered. I almost remember a man at a newsstand that gave you hints. any thoughts???

anyone??

Ok more clues that I remembered
-there was a redheaded woman who was one of the main characters and she says "i haven't touched a thing" as her clue
-you can get a clue from the guy at the newsstand
-a handkerchief with embroidered initials was a clue
-something about a fat man sleeping in a chair was important
-i believe you were trying to make a movie, but to do so you had to pick clues that made sense in the story and you couldn't progress or make your movie if you picked the wrong clues
help!!!!

It's this old business tycoon from the 90s where you started in the early 1900s (maybe the 20s?) and had to fill a town's street with shops (restaurant, jewelry, shopping mall, etc), except in other streets some shops would perform better than others (jewelry sold more in rich neighborhoods, per example). Over time you'd advance in years (60s, 70s, 80s up to I think "futuristic" 2000s) and as you did, you'd unlock new kinds of shops, upgrades for 'em, some shops would lose popularity and you could even spread your empire to other streets of town. It had a pretty good depth for such an old game, and I'd like to play it again sometimes.

A bit of a weird one here:

A friend of mine, in junior high, had an interactive screensaver game on his laptop. He called it "Bug War," though I'm not sure if that is the title. It was a screensaver that would auto-play this game until you hit escape to return to windows, or begin using the controls, in which case you would take over for the A.I. and begin playing.

The gameplay was an overhead top-down view and you randomly controlled different machines which looked to be modeled on bugs. I remember a "fly" that cruised around above the ground, and a four-legged spider tank with a large turret. I think all the bullets looked like red or blue orbs. I don't believe you could actually "win" the game, merely keep fighting against enemies until you eventually die or quit.

I've never been able to find any record of any kind that this screensaver/game actually exists, nor have I heard a single other person say it sounds familiar. Please help me determine if I dreamed this up or not.

Bumpity bump.

Hello, I'm looking for the name to an old Commodore 64 or Apple II game. I've searched a number of titles with no luck. It was probably from mid-late 1980s. You go into an old Victorian house and there are these ghosts you need to help. I know there is a plant named Clive or Victor (maybe Victor was the gardener) that you have to be careful doesn't wrap you up command in the greenhouse, a baby, a ghost who laughs a lot maybe named Letitia? and I remember playing it on a green and black screen. It was a combo of text and basic pictures. it's driving me nuts. I swore it had something to do with manor or mansion, but all of the titles I've looked up don't seem to fit and I've spent a couple hours on it--one lead I found was someone in 2005 asking about the same games, with no answer!

Thanks!

I'm looking for the same game! To add, I remember there being a ghost in a bathtub with bubbles. I also think some of the ghosts needed your help or you're supposed to give them items in exchange for other items.

Adventure 3: Haunted Mansion for C64 (1982)? Haunted House for C64 (1983)? Mystery House (1980) for Apple II? Or Maniac Mansion (1987) for Apple II? If it's not one of them, maybe even Alone in the Dark (1992)?

Nope, none of those are it. It's definitely an 80's game though. Graphics were a little better than Mystery House.
