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

[joeSFX]

Can some one please tell me if they know what's the name of an arcade game that was about controling an AA gun on a ship. In the game you had to (obviously) shoot down planes and also throw depth charges at incoming torpedos, but thats no all to play it you use a seat that moves, depending how you move the turret, and vibrates when shooting and reciving hits, also one of the controlls was something like a fighter jet's center stick. Any ideas??

HI!

For some years now i'm looking for this japanese(i think so) game. Basically it was really old third person game in which you were playing a girl. I started off with a training of you running around and performing some fighting moves. You had to run around a little bit in a circle....
All along you had a (pink haired) girl giving you info on the line. And a thing i remember the most is that along the game you came to a point where this friend of your's was at the bottom of the stairs with the bomb strapped to her waist and you hat to leave her there and get up the stairs as fast as possible and to a next room so that the blast didn't get you.

I know it's not much but please if anybody has any idea it would be super.

Hello!
This game is controlled from above, with a "god-view". You'd be able to pick stuff up and drop them with a big hand, like skunks, stones and your little dudes that you were controlling.
There were 4 different assignments which you could give to your people, and they'd change the color on their clothes.
I think it was Red for builder, White for researcher, Green for soldier and Blue for engineer?
You would have many of these little dudes, goal was to wipe out the other team.

I remember vaguely that if you had researchers in houses you built, and dropped items on the house (like a cow, skunk or stone), you'd start researching abilities..

What is this game?

EDIT: It's for the PC. The small guys had either big eyes or big noses (or even both).

Baldies, perhaps?

Hello all,

I'm not sure if someone has described this game before or not, but I've been searching for it for a very long time. I remember a game in the mid-to-late 90's or maybe early 2000's that I played on a PC. It involved using the six simple machines to solve puzzles. I also remember building different flight vehicles (plane, blimp, etc.) in order to race against some guy. If you didn't have good parts, you would lose to him in the races. I'm not totally sure about everything I've said but I definitely remember racing in different vehicles and you had to find parts to build those vehicles. Anything anyone would have would be greatly appreciated!!!

I'm trying to remember an old PC game I played when I was younger. I don't remember a whole lot about it but here is some of the info I do remember:

-It is an RTS game, similar to Rise of Nations
-It has fire stations and police stations built in the cities to keep order and fight fires (I distinctly remember this aspect of the game)
-You also built temples to honor the Gods, to keep yourself in favor of them, if I recall correctly the game was based in Egypt or somewhere close to it
-The artwork style was rather old but closely resembled that of early Age of Empire games

I only remember playing a demo of the game, and it was mostly concentrated on economics, raising a stable city and people. Bringing in resources, etc.. I don't remember there being a military aspect to the game. If anyone remembers this, I would greatly appreciate you to post an answer. I've been thinking of this game lately and have been dying to find and play it again. Thank you!

Hi people. The information that I'm about to give you will be very vague, but if anyone answers, I'll be very pleased.
So, a couple years back, when I still lived with my dad, my computer was broken and in order to sooth my gaming needs I wanted to borrow his. He let me do this an so I played pretty much anything he had on his computer, altough he's a big gamer and there was constantly new stuff, making it exciting. One day he had apparently installed this really old looking game that was (and this is not something I'm 100% sure of) NON text based. He said something about it being one of the really early RPG games that came out. My memory is bad, so everything is a little vague. When I got around to trying it it was based on Camelot. I think. And you started next to this castle or something and had to go out exploring. After a bit of exploring I met a troll (not the internet version, obviously) in the forest. That's really all I remember and I know it's a bit vague, but if anyone can help me, I'd be glad to take your help.

This was perhaps one of the early Ultima games.

It's likely one of the Super Solvers games, specifically Gizmos & Gadgets.

The game I am trying to track down was very obscure PC based rpg from the mid to late 90's. it was not a mainstream game. I think it may have been Russian or eastern European but was in English.

it was fairly small file size an exe of all things. the game itself was looking down from above and the full screen was a map. the graphic was of a large field / overhead map type set up. the entire "world" was two maps wide ie you can scroll over the screen to the right and other half of the map would appear.
you moved around and fought mosnters which after they died would drop a sack of treasure on the ground which you could pick up. I recall it was a very difficult game to get started and died a lot. there were camps in certain parts of the map with ogres who were really tough to beat. it was a very challenging game and I want to have another go but cant recall the name. I remember there was a lot of green on the map which I dont know helps or not. hope someone can recall it.

When I was a freshman in high school 5-6 years ago I remember playing a game on my friends ds he had I guess an r4 card with the game on it. Anyways it was a sword fighting game in 1d I belive and you could choose a fire element character and you just fought people while moving right it was fun but I can't remember the name

 

[HI Low]

This game I want to find is a shooter type of game, I don't remember if it's a PC game but I remember it was more of First person shooter, you would I think use your mouse to look around when you had a pistol and you click your mouse and you would fire at these creatures. It was like a wave of creatures then your character would carry on with the mission once you kill these creatures. At the end of the first mission, I remember you were in this building, and you would look outside and there would be a large square garden, don't remember if had trees or not but you would shoot this black colored bat looking creature that I think was carrying a woman. I used to struggle in this game but I loved it. So please if anyone knows what I am talking about please let me knoww

 

[ShadowlessWanderer]

There's only one game that I can remember that I've been trying to wrack my brain to recall the name of. It was similar to G-Nome with the mechs and sci-fi tech feel to it. it was openworld-ish and you could find hover crafts to fly around on. One of the weapons was a gun that launched purple discs, another launched something that looked like a lance/spear. You ran around in a space suit and had a jetpack. You started off on a grasslands world (nothing but grass and buildings really) then went to a snowy world later on. It was for the PC and I'm guessing was a early 90's game. I remember it had 4 discs and the boxart had about 4 people crouching down in cover on a cliff while lasers were fired at giant mechs below. One guy had a rocket launcher and was going to fire it. I could've sworn it started with the letter "T" but I'm not entirely sure.

EDIT: Oh, and it was a FPS.

Champions of Krynn?

I cant remember a game on pc were there was two stone age men .... one with blue hair and another with blonde ..... they throw bones at dino's and stuff ..... its not 3d its catooon graphics

Sounds like it might be Joe and Mac.

Well from the sounds of a side scrolling game with sword stuff and elements it may have been a Megaman Zero game, I know they released a collection of them on the DS.

Some japanese game on the ps2, it was very detailed and involved samurais. It was not samurai warriors, but had more emphasis on character. Hard to remember, had mounts too.

Hard to guess...Dynasty Warriors maybe.
