I'm searching for two different games I played when I was younger, 3 maybe 4 years old. I only remember having owned a PS1
but the graphics I remember are closer to those of a Sega Genesis game. What I can remember from the first game is starting
on an air ship I think you are a janitor or something (I remember him holding a mop) but the ship is attacked and you have
to find a way around the monsters to find a weapon. The weapon you get is a talking sword but I don't remember anything else aside from some of the monsters, something that looks like the gloops from Dragon Quest. I have tried Dragon Quest but not seen anything like the start I described above, maybe I missed something?
The second game I have very little recollection of, just a big maze with gray cement walls I don't remember being able to fight and I thing there were man eating plants in some of the rooms the game was really plain from what I remember but I would still like to find it. =)

Okay, this is way too many pages to read, but i just have this game that i'm looking for, it's a really old pc or ps1, i think pc game. It's actually a crime game where you start out as like a petty thief and work your way up to living in a mansion. You could buy guns and have fights against the police and everything. You could also do burglary jobs where you would break into a house and there would be appliances around and the burglary was a puzzle to see how many appliances you could get out without getting one stuck because it was 2d and you couldn't pull appliances, just push.
There's also another one i've been looking for for a long time that was set in space, really old, 2d. It had really simple ship design, it was just an arrow, but it had planets and usually on the maps there was a wormhole in the middle. What really impressed me about the game was that there was actually gravity pulling you towards the wormhole and you had to fly around with gravity, and if you landed on a planet, you would kind of 'colonize' it and after a little bit it would build guns and you had to go around destroying enemy ships and planets and such.

Hi, I used to have a game back in the day on the PC. It was around 1995-1999! The game was some sort of proffesor puzzle game, where you hold to solve puzzles / missions using the items given to you on the side. Some of the puzzles was like... Letting the mouse reach his cheese without letting the cat get him. You had to use items such as pipes / ledges / boxes / fans / balls / random items to help the mouse reach the destination. Another puzzle would be to flick the switch to turn the light on, so again you had to use the items you had to get a ball or something to flick the switch on to complete that puzzle. Another was letting a boy/girl reach his house safely, or get all the balls into all the pockets on a pool table when you start it.
The game was 2d, you had to put the items you thought would work on the screen to where you thought it would work and push play to get it working so you know if you're right or wrong!
Sorry for the brief description, its all i know how to describe it, been looking for this game for years

Hi. Looking for a game i only played the demo of back in the day, Basically you played the bad guy and you had to defend your castle against the good people attacking. You selected the types of monsters you wanted and just let them loose in the battlefield. You could even capture heroes and mutate them together to make new monsters. I also remember you could join the battle and fight as well.
any help would be appreciated

Sounds like some combination of Columns and Puyo Puyo (Dr Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine), could it be a spin-off of one of those?flamacore said:First of all hello there!
I've been looking for a game for a long time but no-go...
We're talking about a competitive tetris-like falling 1x3 block game. The blocks were object collections depending on the level and scene. I remember a level where CD's, DVD's fell off and you tried to match them obviously. But the key is; there were some kind of power-ups which you use to demolish/hurt opponents situation or help yours. Some kind of lightning bolt i remember and some bombs blowing the lower levels also... I remember another scene where the dropping blocks were squishy, colored slime monsters(like the pokemon MUK or GRIMER). Every scene had a specific background. Like all tetris-like games, when you reach the top, the game is over. Don't remember anything about music, but being a music producer and having a whole career of music, and remembering many of the good musics from my old times, i suppose nothing specific was good about music. It was a PC Windows game possibly win95/98. Absolutely sure that it's not DOS. The blocks were animated btw.
Couldn't find. So help maybe?
Here's mine. It was a PS1 game, I can only remember two things:
1) The graphics were blue wireframe(I think it sometimes changed colour)
2) You piloted...(unsure here) choppers, planes and whatnot, futuristic ones(You had EMPs and whatnot.. my memory is still fuzzy).
Sorry for the bare information, I can barely remember any of it, yet I can remember how fun it was.

I remember playing this one game as a kid where you played this cowboy who had his entire family killed. What I clearly remember about this game was that it was on PC and it was a FPS.

hey i hope someone can help. iva been looking for this pc game for a while. its a pc war simulation game i played it around the year 2000 (i think!). i remember their was jets,ships and maybe tanks. it was alot to do with sea i think. you could select a missile after firing on the radar and follow it to the target.all else i know is that the disc was green and black. thanks
I'm trying to remember the name of this spaceship game I played as a kid. It was probably made in the mid to late 80's. You started out in a little space pod that had a single laser on the nose. You could fight other spaceships, disable them, and take the ship as your own. There were also space stations where you could upgrade the various ships you captured (new ships, weapons, shields, mini-fighters or bombers, ect.). Eventually you could end up with a fleet of ships that you captured or bought ranging from small fighters, medium cruisers, and even up to carriers that was filled with several mini fighter ships and I think bombers as well. The universe you were in was basically never-ending, likely randomly generated as you moved along in any direction. All I know for sure is it was a computer game.
Any help in discovering the name of this game would be extremely helpful! Easily the best video game I played as a kid.

Elite ? Probably not. too easy =pblitzgott said:
If you want a simillar but more modern game though (owning fleets, space stations etc while starting out in a little ship, and large universe ) then I would easily reccomend X3: Terran Conflict, a bit obtuse to learn, but probably something you'd like if this kind of sandbox appeals to you.
I'm looking for an old prison escape game.
Okay, so I remember playing it as a child. It was released in the 90s. It has an isometric view. You are a prisoner, and you have to escape. There is a gym, a diner, there's a guy hitting his face on the wall. I didn't make too musch progress, but I remember stealing a spoon from the diner, and I could steal a metal rod from the gym. At night you have to return to your cell. Oh, and Fools Garden's Lemon Tree plays in the background. I would really like to play that game once more. I'd appreciate any help.
It was a kind of an adventure game, you could pick up stuff as I said, I found a spoon and a metal rod, but I couldn't really use them (I was like 4-5 at the time, and my English wasn't pretty good).
I clearly remember, that you could walk around with the cursor keys, you could talk to people, you had some kind of timer (at noon, all inmates had to go to the diner or the guards beat you, also at night you had to return to your cell), and there were a lot of NPCs - guards, other inmates. Some had personalities, I guess they could help you escape later on. Like the guy bashing his head on tha wall (I think he said he lost something, or something about a girlfriend.) Also there was a metal detector at the gym's door, so you couldn't bring the spoon in.
The view looked a bit like Sims. The prison was quite big, you could walk around during the day (you had a few days to escape, for your trial was close and you probably recieved capital punishment or something similar).
