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

[bellcross1]

Looking for a game:
Its a PC game, played a demo of it somewhere ~2002. Its a... strategy game I think. You can build buildings AoE style but is japanese themed - hero units or mercs were samurai which gain levels. The map had a unique style in that every "player" had his own square area, once you got to the edge of your area you would move on the "world" screen and from there enter other's areas. I'm not sure if you could build entire armies like in other rts games, I wasn't into such games at the same time but I did like this one. Also, I'm not sure about the depth of "building" in the game, like if you can/have to build everything from scratch or if you're given buildings at the start but you then just upgrade them and manage them along with your samurais. Sorry if its too vague

I AM GOING CRAZY TRYING TO FIND THIS GAME.. I use to play it probably around 2004.. I don't know when it would have been from.. The case and the CD itself was orange.-

When the game loaded you be in like a motel/taxi service.. there would be a brown desk with a bell sitting on it. When you rang the bell a animal (I believe it was either a fox or kangaroo) would appear and ask you what would you like to do. There was station beside the desk with pamphlets you could choose a pamphlet and go do an activity. I know one of the activity were to drive around the city, which had like a car wash and there was a hot air balloon and you had to drive around finding things.. you could see in side the car and you'd flip down the visor for a check list. I know other mini game thing you could play was that you were driving a taxi and popping balloons to gain like practice or something..

I know this is very very vague..

but anyone knows this game? or think they know what I am talking about.. I would be so happy to figure it out.

Only thing I can think of is Crazy Taxi series.

This Combat Racing game from the ps2 gen. You pilot aircraft but also other vehicles like cars and you can collect powerups that can either help you or blow up your opponent. So basically a mario kart like game with aircraft and semi realistic graphics.

Okay this drives me crazy for a long time now.
The game I'm remembering was a car related SNES game. Unlike most of the car games back then, it wasn't driving races on tracks, it was more like a stock car pit fighting thing.
You could choose between like 10-15 different characters, all with their specifications (concerning weapons, health and stuff). I'm not quite sure what the goal was, but I think you had to bump enemy cars off the edge of the "map". Or destroy them somehow.

The characters were mostly not-human, if I remember correctly, but I know I found them hilariously funny back then when I was like 8yo. So maybe they had funny quotes or appearance, I don't really know...
I checked all the lists of car related SNES games I could find, without results. A friend of mine told me you could obtain a trophy in one of the SSB games, that would resemble a character of said game, but I couldn't find anything.

As I said, I checked a lot of lists, so I know it's not Battle Cars. And all the other car games I found where racing simulations, whereas my game isn't a simulation at all.
So maybe someone remembers it, since it's obviously quite unknown. Please, I want to know the name of that game. Maybe it's not even funny anymore, but I just need clarity.

Maybe:

Rock N Roll Racing

Nope. As I said, I'm pretty sure you weren't driving a track, it was more like one big place where you could drive freely together will the 10-12 or so other characters.

No, its neither of those. The game map is like a (for example) 10x10 square hex map, where every hex is a small area where cities and units are. Clicking on a hex zooms into that area where you can move your units freely. The cities are not like in Total War series, where you click on the whole city and click what to build in turns. Every building is individual, its not a turn based game. The game definitely wasn't popular and god damn I just can't remember what it was for the life of me. Thanks for trying though, much appreciated.

Hi there.
So, I've been struggling with this for many years arleady.
The thing is, I can't remember game's name at all. It's quite old arleady, can't tell whether DOS.
So, the main character was kinda blue-ish. Your job was to help some proffesor build a rocket in order to let you travel somewhere. Characters were kinda square-ish and their arms, legs, head and torso floated, they weren't connected together but floated really close. There were some action aspects as you had to fight the bad guys over there that looked the same, I think they also kidnapped someone you liked. Really liked that game but for god's sake can't remember the name. Please, please, help!

#edit:
No, it was not Rayman neither Lomax.

Hi everybody. Here is a tough one.
I've been looking for this PC game for over 13 years now.

The game consisted on throwing the other player to the white water.
There were balls with power bouncing all over the room-

Balls:
Gun - Gives you a few shots.
lightning - Gives you strenght. So the other player needed to run away from you, until you run out of the power.
Skull - It will kill you when you touch it.
Bubble - This one makes you invisible.

Hope you can make an effort here and help me!!.

1 game
-Mac based(performa era around 1997-2000 in schools)
-RPG/Puzzle/adventure game
-youd use the mouse to move to objects(kind of a side scroller but youd just have an art scene with you walking around then a backdrop)
-a lot of the items were gems like opal and aquamarine
-there was a scene with a weeping willow some guy gets frozen by an evil wizard who you have to hunt down(premise of the game, i think its your father)
-Fantasy based era castles wizards etc.

one of the options in the game is to throw the knife at the wizard, if you do you lose if i remember.

Try one of the "Romance of the three Kingdoms" series, part VIII or IX, or "Dragon Throne: Battle of Red Cliffs", they're based on Chinese history rather than Japanese, but this might be it.

I looking for old game.
I think its hack and slash
as far as i remember you was killing orcs(i think that was orcs), and some kind of beast who jumps on you(i think they was walking on hands, didnt had legs, and had tail. They was similar to one of dead space monsters type) via sword, who invaded you village and killed everyone, and after that you travel further.
I played female charakter, its possible that you cant choose your sex, you are female protagonist
Inventory works like in diablo or MU games(but without picture of you self, where you put your armors - body, helmet etc.)
Health bar looked also similar to those games.
Somehow that game reminds me RUNE, but thats not rune since it had inventory.
Drops are very rare, played for few hours, till finally found a better sword. Well its actualy not drops i guess since slain monsters didnt had items(i dont remember if you could loot them for like health potions or something, but they definitely didnt had weapons on theyr bodies)

Hey guys,

I just found this thread and thought I will give it a try. Maybe someone of you knows this game:

I think I played this game in the late 90s on my windows 95 with a diskette.
It was a 2D platformer, looking on it from the side.
Setting was ice / snow, kinda comic style
Enemies walking around on the platforms, like icebears (i think, but not sure about it)

Thanks for you help, I think about this game for ages and I have no idea how else to find it. Google wont help me.

Okay so theres this game, pc, top down view, you had small maps, and you could choose small spaceships or spacecrafts or whatever and fight, like you'd have control of one against all the rest and it'd be a free for all of sorts, there were other modes too, challenges and stuff, but i dont really remember it
also in the menu you were selecting you would get this big picture of the spaceship you were choosing with specs and whatnot
if anyone remembers this please reply with the name of it, thankyou!
and you broke boxes or something along those lines and found different powerups, like different epic weapons like missiles, different types of lazers etc etc, or forcefields, like if you kept finding more forcefield powerups the field would keep growing to a certain extent
it was very dynamic
Also there were specific missions in which you had to do stuff, like protect another ship, or get from one zone to another etc
Sorry I cant remember many specific details,
Thanks in advance!

Hi, I might sound a little vague but, here I go.

This game was a NES game, not sure if a famycom hack or what. Known facts: this was a game completely in japanese. All kenjis all over the menus. The main character was a little dragon alike character (all white) and you should think in... Shy ghosts from super mario bros meets kirby. (But, it was white). The game mecanics was to defeat enemies, with a tail hit (similar to the one that the blue dragon in Islander games gave). The enemies dropped something (not sure if coins, white orbs or what). LAter on, with those orbs, the Character was able to BUY skills. One of the skills i'm positively sure it was the flying skill. While using this skill, the character simply moved its little tiny wings and moved in an horizontal straight line. Also, while doing this, he plucked its tiny tongue out of its mouth, as if it were a smiley.

There was food (japanese food) all over the screen, and i'm 100% sure, the game is not "Chery cherub".

The game was more like an rpg game, the difficulty was insane and this game is driving me nuts! please help!
Any help with this one? thanks! extra info, this game used password, yes, in japanese

5th pummpp!! help plz

Hello. A game that i cant remember name of is stuck in my head.

So it's a sci-fi racing game for pc which i played good 5-7 years ago.
all i can remember are the shapes of the ships that you play with-

the fastest was blue elipse shaped with cutout in the middle
the second fastest was yellow - bulky and was split in half
If im right the last map was lava one and before it was a snow one.
