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

[Batou667]

Okay I know no one will see this, But there was this game I played on PS1 and me and my sister use to play on it, and basically on the menu screen you could choose between 4 characters (2 male and 2 females) to be, And one of the girls had a red jacket with brown hair and had high heels, whilst the other girl had ginger hair and it was in a plat and she had black elbow pads. In the game you fight random people, and you fight different bosses throughout the game. Picking up drinks would make your health go up. There is a level where you're at a train station and you fight these people and you get soda machines to get red drinks from to make your health go up. One of the bosses was this guy who had a jetpack and he use to fly in the air and when he stomped on the ground our characters would go in the air and fall to the ground and to defeat him you would have to throw barrels at him. That's all I could think off but mostly the key information was the 2 girls to choose from 1 with a red jacket and heels and the other one with ginger hair in a plat.

Fighting Force?

Hello!

I've been searching for quite a while for the following two games:

1) This one is perfectly described by somebody on yahoo answers :

"The game didn't gave any plot. There were two fractions to choose from. Each fraction offered different robot chassis (legs, track, teleportation...) and weapon technology ( missiles or beam weapons).
The missions took place in different maps with specially designed terrain. Players were required to assemble the right kind of combat groups to approach and destroy the enemy (or their base). Missile technology gave good firepower, but beam weapons came with special effect like shooting through walls at moving enemy, freezing enemy robot, long-distance spark shock...
In some missions, you lose the game when all your forces were lost. However, in other missions there were forward bases which constantly produce new robots. Players can also use the base to change their combination of robot chassis and weapon at any time. The base looked like some glowing, spinning galaxy on the ground. When attacked and severely damaged, the base can send out a massive shock wave that annihilates nearby enemies.
The 3D models were pretty simple, and the environment often looked dark. Also, there wasn't any BGM. Still, the game proved to be quite a challenge. I was only able to complete the first mission of each fraction. I remembered one mission which I failed: you got 3~4 enemy robots with long-range beam weapons sitting on the other side of an acid pool, which was almost impossible to cross with any of your chassis. There were several switches which controlled some electric fans. But I was never able to figure out how to use them.
1st mission of beam weapon fraction:
Player got a bunch of enemy rocket robots sitting inside a walled cell, with only one long, narrow passage in. If the player commands his robot army to approach his enemy through the passage, he will get utterly destroyed. The only solution would be assembling robots that can shoot through walls. But such robots can only target moving objects. So player has to send a bait inside to get the enemy moving, while setting an ambush outside the cell with wall-penetrating beam weapon.
Also, there were no base in the 1st mission. And as far as I knew, player couldn't construct any buildings or gather resources.
BTW, the robot models were somehow similar to those in Mechwarrior series, but a little bit smaller."

2) Late 80's or early 90's 2D side-scrolling DOS game featuring robot type creatures. I remember one of them was sort of a dinosaur who's tail tip was like a torch and he could attack with it. You could choose between 3 types of robot/cyborgs, whatever they were, and each one had different abilities. One was sort of a humanoid, the second was similar to a tank and the third was the dinosaur. It had a gritty theme and an overall dark green-ish color scheme. I remember the first level was in a swamp-like environment. The difficulty was also pretty high.

Please help! and Thank you in advance!

I found the second game! it's called Metal Mutant

 

[mrchinchin25]

I've been wracking my brain recently to work out this game I used to play in the mid-90s -

It was on the Amiga 500/600, and was an RPG/adventure type. I remember very little but -

- It had a large map that you could travel around at will
- You had an overall quest/world plot to deal with
- Whilst travelling, it had a side-scrolling section where you'd often have to fight things
- I think it was party based, I'm pretty sure someone had a whip as a weapon
- It wasn't properly western-rpg - there were some wierd things like wierd mounts etc
- The graphics were I think hand-drawn, very pretty
- It was hard, very hard

I can't for the life of me remember what it was!

I've still had no luck finding this one out... been looking through youtube amiga vids to try and find it!

 

[camjocotem]

There's a point and click game I've been trying to remember forever but I just can't find it, I played a demo of it on a "500 free games" disk, may have been a different one but I'm not sure, also included skifree, commander keen, hugo iii, indiana jones and the fate of atlantis and one must fall I think; from all the other games I can remember at least.

The game started off in what might be a desert area, fairly sure it was in a canyon and you started off on a path either with or on a donkey, there was a path that led up to a fortress with a large gate. For whatever reason I could never open the gate when I played it. I know it's a rather vague description but all suggestions are welcomed!

 

[CowboyPhil]

Howdy people! I'm looking for a point and click adventure game, I think it starts off with the main character (a kid) with his mother somewhere (maybe a boat pier), and someone steals the main character's mother's purse, and the main character follows him and I don't remember what happens next (well the kid gets lost and has an adventure)... I know at some point in the game you get kidnapped. I know you talk to birds at some point... I think a part of the game happens in the jungle... it's pretty blurry in my head, though I remember enjoying it a lot. I've tried so many times looking for it on internet without any success... I hope you guys can help me! Thanks in advance, it would mean alot to me if you could find it!

 

[porous_shield]

I've been driving myself nuts trying to think of what pc game this was---
All I remember is you play as some redhead and there's some blue ghost following you around and at the end of it, he moves on through a portal in his tie or something like that... There's like 2 or 3 of these games that are kind of a series. I also remember they smoked cigarettes hah.

That sounds like the Blackwell Bundle (four games: Legacy, Unbound, Convergence, and Deception).

 

[Tarragos]

When I was little, i would play an 8-bit pc game. I don't remember much, but the adventure takes place in somewhat medieval times, i think. The main character is a red haired farm girl who initially lives with her grandmother. The first mission of the game is to find a cow that went missing. After that, a blue haired blacksmith boy joins you. Later in the adventure, a black haired thief can join you, as well as a lizard man. I really don't remember much else besides the theme song, which will randomly start playing in my head occasionally. It's bothering me that i can't figure out the name of this game. If anyone can help me, i will really appreciate it

 

[Kris Lambert]

There was a game which I played forthrightly super Nintendo 64, where you was a jungle type character where youwould collect big burgers and miniature size foor such as icecream and big cakes, all this would improve your end level score, all the food would go info a massibe cauldroun. You would have to avoid spiders and other types of creatures.... I can remember using a roar taunt for for something, you swing a club to kill the creatures that get in
your way. I hope some knows the name and tell me the name of the game

 

[amuralshoq]

Hi, Can someone help me find my game its on the PS1
it's a scrolling 2d shooting game where you can control a human guy mounting a dragon and the dragon shoots other enemies with fire or whatever, also some enemies mount dragons too, its a multiplayer you can play with like 3 players or something cant remember very well or just choose to go solo, i remember if you shoot enemies and kill them and they dropped an item you will hear that nice effect sound when you pick it up.

I couldn't find this game anywhere because i don't know what is it called..

i have searched all the games in this site
http://www.coverbrowser.com/covers/playstation-games

That sounds a lot like Golden Axe [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Axe#Ports_and_remakes], but I don't think it was ever released for PS1.

 

[Yp Chia]

Hi everyone, need help here.
Do u all remember an old game during the 90's which it started inside a castle talking to a king and end up in green forest?
Somehow u will pass by a volcano place with lava and quake will be going on.
( a thief will knocked u off and u can never be able to track him down)
U will have to fight with big eye with long octopus thingy, walking into the dwarf world, can access to every shop to purchase potion, sword and all.
Is quite an old game which i played last time in MAME emu.
Any idea?

 

[Connorzoesch]

So there's this psp game I played and I remeber that it had some word "mine" in it. When you played the game you would have to destroy blocks and make a path.you would mine the blocks green slimed would come out or another creature would come out depending on what the block is(like 3 different types of blocks that you will see when u start the mission or whatever u want to call it. You would have to survive attacks every wave (I guess that's what you can call it)it's not a tower defence game. There was water in the game. One thing is that if you break all the blocks around one block that looks like purple or something and you break it you get like a dragon. The creatures can evole and get stronger the more they eat smaller creatures. You can get turtles that are in water and are really strong. The last thing that I remeber was that there was like a thesaurus that kept all the monsters in it and there "evolved" version



That's All I know about it. I now that I didn't right it in the best way but had to right this quick and I'm using my iPhone . If you can figure it out then thank you, and don't forget it's for psp not ps3

Are you thinking of Fighting Force?

Spoiler: Fighting Force for PS1, click to view.

Fighting Force. Cool, it was made by Core, makers of the original Tomb Raider.

Was the game cute and anime-ish like Advance Wars?

Or were there shapes on the ground showing where you could go, as in Military Madness?

Does anyone remember a typing game played at school which had many little games within it? I'm going to describe as many aspects of it so hopefully someone knows what I'm talking about:

There was a game where there was an Elephant on a diving board, and the more you typed, the more the water filled up the tank beneath him.

Another, you were a cliff climber and you raced the AI up to the top.

Another was you were a raccoon (or kangaroo) and paddling in a storm to make it to an island.

Another, called Jungle Boy i think, you were a Tarzan type character and you raced across a vine against a monkey.

Another you were a rat climbing up the stairs to eat the bird.

Another you were a tight rope walker, and the more you typed, the faster you got across to the other side.

Anybody help?

I remember playing a demo of this game so many times, I don't know if it was ever officially released, but it was a sort of 3D/overhead scrolling space shooter for Playstation 1. I'm thinking it offered both 1 and 2 player modes, with the default single player ship being red and white and the second player ship was blue and white.

The gist of the game was you flew your ship through what appeared to be a huge fleet of other larger ships with smaller fighters flying in to harass you and you blew everything up with either plain lasers, or a special that blew up most of the screen and had an interesting sound effect. If I remember correctly, you'd also occasionally get a second ship that you could latch onto to form a larger ship that had more lasers and stuff if you were playing single player. Most of the game was shown as a sort of overhead view, but the game was very much 3d and the camera tended to rotate a lot with you as you flew around the areas. There was a lot of detail in the game graphically, like planets in the background and things.

I'm wanting to say it was late 90's early 2000's when it was released. The demo disc it came on included a demo for the original Metal Gear Solid, Steel Reign (a tank battling game), MediEvil, the first Legacy of Kain game, Test Drive 4, and some kind of ninja game that was an overhead view and involved crossing a log bridge over a waterfall that I remember falling off of quite a bit for some reason (would like to figure out what that game was called to, if I can).

I'd appreciate it if anyone has an answer, thanks!

The game I'm trying to remember is for the PS2.
A kid in my building had like a disc full of demos and that game was on it.
All I can remember is that the title consisted of three letters and probably had punctuation marks (like A.R.G or V.O.D)
You were (in) a giant robot (suit) capable of flight and one of your attacks was a laser (perhaps a sword as well).
You could charge that laser and when fired it would split into a dozen smaller ones.
The demo consisted of an early (mini) boss battle and a section in a building with smaller enemies.
Ring a bell ?

Probably Zone of Enders, or Z.O.E?
