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

Can someone help me remember the name of an arcade game I used to like to play? It was a four player side scroller which let you have multiple choices on where to go next. There was a level where you fought a goblin or a troll on a boat, you could not kill it because it just got right back up after you defeated it, eventually there was a scene where some people showed up and set it on fire, and one of them told you that fire was the only way to kill it. Their was also a black dragon boss, and a scene where the king upgraded your weapons.

Oke i've been looking for this game for a while, i'm now 19 and i played this when i was a kid. So i guess it should be from 1998 to 2005 i think?
It's a fish game, you get an egg, and there comes out a fish you have to take care of, it's just 1 fish. you keep the screen clean in his little cave house, and outside you could play tic tac toe with it, also if you go to the surface of the water you could hold up a hoop and the fish could try to jump trough it. Is was kinda 3D made? Realistic also.
Eventually you could get a second egg but i never got to that. It also has a very well known game tune, but i cannot remember the name of that either.

It would really make my day if i finally knew what game this was! Thank you!

Was is Seaman, on Dreamcast?

No it wasn't that, that game is kinda creepy..
But it's just a kids game, it was a normal yellow/orange fish. it wasn't that realistic like in that game.

Hey guys, I've been trying to remember this one for years. I can't remember if it was on the C64 or if it was on the Amiga, but basically it was a chopper rescue, 2d side scroller, and you started at the left side of this island which had on it an erupting volcano.

The Volcano had a stream of lava coming down that would fill up the entire level very slowly starting at the bottom of the map, and your job was to fly this chopper to each guy on the island and drop him off somewhere (I forget where).

Anyway it had this very iconic piano piece that would plat at the very beginning, it's a famous classical piece for piano that has only one single voice throughout, except the end I think, but it's very fast, starts out minor. I've been trying to figure out the name of that so that I could learn it.. HelP!!

I can't for the life of me remember a more recent MMORPG.

So, you're a person in an age of mechanical technology in a fantasy-world - ie, airships, generators, ect.
You're also an apprentice of said things, and due to something or other, a rift has opened, and gaps in reality have shown up around the world - these are blue, spectral beams. Crossing one results in a battle: while trying to get through, you are attacked by four-legged, roach like things; in order to damage them, you use "traps" - lava traps, vine traps, aqua traps, and mud traps - which can be upgraded.

I also remember it having quite varied quests - not just, "give x to y", or "kill x amount of y monster". I can't really remember, though. It's fuzzy.

It looked pretty good, and the battles were fast and rewarding enough to be quite fun.

Hello. I am looking for 3 games. They aren't very old, 2000-2010 maybe.
First one is 2d shooter, I don't think it was sidescrooler.
-the game was in some kind of spaceship, with many colourful switches and forcefield-doors.
-game has badass avatars
-the baddies taked the ship or something
-hero has a jetpack
-it has a very cool guns, like bazookas and laser pistols i think. I couldn't remember a lot of details.

Second is Rpg adventure I think. You start as a noob, killing slimes or something, it has magic stuff. From story i think heros mother or something gets killed. I think it's point and click game, but i can be wrong. There was a lot of gore I think, and I think the name of the game is the same as name of hero.

The third game is some kind of simulation/strategy. There's an island, and some survivors, you command them and they do tasks. The people could get babies, they later can go to school, and i think they can get proffesion(fisher, medic or something). It got some sequels.

The third one is a PC game? I think it is "Virtual Villagers", you can download them for free on the apple store, if you want to..

if there's any similiar games to it? It could be it, but i don't think so.

So I remember a racing game for kids, since it was ten years ago since I last played it I think. It was on W98, had decent graphics, you were in carts,and had partially animals as character, but also humans. I remember the song Jump from Van Halen in it, when the race starts. It had a level through the UK, Italia and possibly other countries. You could also fall in like lava at certain tracks, or had seamonsters at the trench. Anyone?

How about that game where you were a wizard wielding a wand. Your wand shot goo out in little bubbles. Eventually you kill monsters with the goo and they drop some better wand...

I think the name was like castle of goo, or wizard of goo.
Your character wore a wizard hat on the cover.

Was for the pc

Choplifter. It was released for a lot of systems back then. Hopefully that is the one.

Thanks, that's not it though - I figured out the music at least, it's Solfeggio or Solfeggietto by C.P.E. Bach (one of Sebastian Bach's sons). Here's an example of the piece: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bllLA2qZ6LQ

Hmm wish I could figure out the name of this game..

[HYNGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH]

Used to play an old Racing game on the PC back in the early 90s. Can't remember the name for the life of me though.

In order to play, you used to have to complete sentences found in the game manual. You could also make some massive custom tracks, utilizing loop de loops, ice tracks, dirt tracks, slanted tracks, jumps, etc.

Ah, and when you crashed your HUD (a dash board with complete -meters and all that, steering wheel, and windshield) windshield would crack.

Hello all, i am new to Escapist. Here's the game i played, but can't remember the name of: It was a turn-based strategy game. I also know that it contained some words about "settlers" or "civilization"(i don't remember exactly). I don't know if it was realy old. That's all i remember about it. I hope someone can help.

Sorry for bad english.

May be Sid Meier's Civilizations

Hey!
I'm having trouble remembering the PC game i used to play as a kid(About 10 yeas ago). (For win 95 or win 98)
I asked my father about this game and he told me that it was called "Sergo" but trying to find game called like this ended up with no results. So i'm turning to you guys.
In the game you were a green miniature soldier(like an old-school toy soldier that we 90's kids used to play). In the first level you were in the kitchen trying to find a way to the crock/clay pot, where you were transported to the next level. On the way you had to kill some cockroaches. Some of the scenes were in the garden (somehow i remember there was a big pink flamingo). Usually there were also enemy soldiers, they were mainly colored white/beige but sometimes also blue and i think there were even red ones. It was like in the war - tanks, military ships, planes. Usually the whole game took place in the forest or open field where were few trees or shrubs. You had to kill enemies in order to stay alive and get to the end point(I don't really remember if you had to rescue someone or not). When you'd kill someone, the they drop crate. Each crate contained first-aid kit or mines or guns, all that kind of military and army thing. When playing that game then on the screen there was a map where it showed which were your men (green) and which were enemy ones.

That's all i can remember. If you are able to identify this game, that would be awesome. But if not, then it isn't the end of the world.

Good luck and best wishes,

H.S.

I think it's an Army Men Game, i.a. Army Men: Sarge's Heroes

Hey guys, I am struggling to remember the name of the following game:
(as far as I remember):
- it's a 1st-person open world game
- you start on a beach
- you can have quests either for gangsters or for government(or military)
- you can drive cars, boats, you can swim and dive
- while diving you can find pearls which you can sell later
- you can catch fish
- you can upgrade your skills such as inventory or underwater breathing
- it's a "Far Cry" style game
- maybe its release date is around 2010-2011
Please give me at least some suggestions

That sounds like either Boiling Point: Road to Hell or White Gold: War in Paradise.
