Sorry for reposting guys..

Maybe you guys can help me..

I played this game like a 10 years ago, i think it was something like 3D and colorfull.
The character was something like a monk/wizard, it used a blue vest and had no hair if i a remember it correctly, his wife or his son got kidnaped by aliens and he got to go save them. One of the first stages of the game was that he got to rush at a tower and make the rain stop, another stage was that he was in the city when still raining and had to shoot a little kid with an sling. Other stage of the game was in an desert where u drive a car around.

Sorry about my english, hope someone can help me out..

Nevermind guys, just found the game.. Little Big Adventure 2

Alright so I remember playing a game years ago on PC with some-what 8bit graphics, and I really liked it. For about 2 years now I've been trying to find this game but I've had no luck.
It was an RPG. There are 5 friends in the starting of the game, a blond haired sword fighting man, his green haired elf girlfriend, another red-haired girl, another man I can't really recall, and a green slime/sludge creature which is a sidekick/pet of the swordfighter.

These friends start out together and fight enemies together but then we reach a point in the game where they all have to go their separate ways, so we have to choose any one character to proceed with the game.
The swordfighter goes his separate way to take swordifighting training, and his sludge pet goes with him. The elf, and the unknown man, not too sure. The red-haired woman goes her separate way to train herself with magic and spells and such. Now there comes a time in the story where the elf girl misses her swordfighter boyfriend and leaves everything behind to re-unite with him. Once they're back together, the couple spends more time with each other and the sludge pet feels left out, so the sludge runs away and goes his separate path. There was one such quest for the sludge's story where it has to fight these brown earth monsters called Golems and retrieve a certain amount of Golem heads in order to complete the quest.

This is all I remember, and I was never able to complete the storyline because my PC was formatted years ago.

Please help me out.
Bump..
Any help would be much appreciated, I really, really want to find this game..
Double bump..

There was a game that came out a while back when 3D graphics a were emerging in PC games.
It was an RTS in which players would manage tribal villages and attack other villages on a playing area shaped like a dome and the units moved around on it like a mini-planet.

You control a shaman and use spells like tornadoes, meteor showers, and stuff like that.
Guard towers could be built and a barracks to send troops. I think some of the troops could shoot fireballs.

Does this game sound familiar to anybody? I played a demo of it off of an old PC Gamer demo disc and can't for the life of me remember it was called.

An amazing discussion, I would like to thank you all for participating to help each-other
I have 3 games on mind all of it I played 11.12 years ago all of it are PC games:
1- Simulating game
building dinosaurs farm, you can grow Theropoda dinosaurs and Sauropodomorphs dinosaurs and they can attack each other if you don't protect the Sauropodomorphs. you can proliferate them by eggs .

2-FPS game, you can choose your character sex, you play on a spaceship fighting aliens, I remember one room in the game that has sensors guns that when you enter it, the guns automatically shoots you, you can exit the spaceship but you need equipments if you exited without it you die.

3-FPS game, your first weapon is scythe I think, you fight skulls heads on the beginning of the game then the game gets harder and you fight different creatures the one that I remember was wizards, you can revive yourself by collecting apples.


I'm sorry for my English I'm not a native speaker, and I hope you help me find these games

Not sure if its come up as i haven't been able to read through all 476 pages of this thread.
the game i'm looking for is a old play station game I believe, I haven't played it in so long but i remember in the first level you play as a yellowish man in a blue suit and you have to break out from a prison(?) of some sort, the next thing i remember doing after is going inside a house and having to choose a hiding place like a small cupboard under a sink to escape from a guard/drone/robot or something from finding you due to the earlier prison break of some sort.
any images to go alongside a name would greatly help as I've completely forgotten the name of the game.
please PM me if you know of this game as it's driving me crazy thinking of what it could be.

Well this was back in the 386/486 model pc's i believe and took a bunch of floppy's to install, You were a detective that flew around in a flying car that landed on at-least 1 rooftop that i can remember, cant remember if there was a street. But i think that a scientist friend was murdered and you had to figure out what happened. Like i said it was way way back in the beginning. I dont remember to many pc games like this one before it, The graphics were (at the time) nothing like I had seen before. Ohh and when you got into the flying car i want to say you actually were in on take off and landing. not driving the whole time. Sorry for all the vague memories but this was a while back. Thanks in advance for your help.

Hey!

I've been looking for this game for years (literally). I believe it was for the PSOne, kind of a 2 on 2 basketball game with some fighting. I remember one team consisted two small aliens, and one team consisted two werewolves. Weird, I know, and that's all I remember but I cant find it anywhere! Anyone know?

Hi guys,

Can can't remember a arcade game i used to play in the 90's. In general - u can choose between 3 heroes - warrior, female elf and a dragon. You can use the help of a small minions by collecting eggs if i'm not wrong - the minions are a small iron-clad creature, a dragon and (the third one I can't remember) all depending on the egg u take. You can send them to fight for u but can be killed.

If anyone has ever played the game and can remember it, pls tell me :)

Trying to recall an RTS (I don't think it was TBS) for PC, maybe even DOS. It featured futuristic tanks image on box cover. Wasn't really a good game except I do recall you could make good use of terrain. One thing I clearly remember was a line of trees with a road passing through them. I think it was probably a top down view rather than isometric. You could set up units either side of the road so that as enemy units came out of the tree line your units could easily wipe them out before they had a chance to return fire. The perfect ambush! Which reminds me of another game from the same era which was called Perfect General which had you play one side and then the other to compare scores.

I thought the title was FrontLines but a search has resulted in a different game with that title. It's bugging me that I can't think of the title yet I can have a mental image of that box cover.

In any case, if nobody recalls the game, could I have a few suggestions of other RTS or TBS games in which you can make similar use of terrain. Not more recent games thanks as my PC is low end and my download speed is SLOW.

Just so you know what type of game(s) I'm interested in, I'll tell you that I've just re-bought Total Annihilation from GOG. I still have the original game boxes, disks and manuals buried somewhere in the shed, but at $2.09 on promotion, it seemed easier just to get it from GOG, although at just over 1 Gb it took several hours to download. Enjoying the game all over again, and introduced my 11 year old son to it. He hasn't played his console games like FIFA etc., for several days. I'm not a fan of modern day FPS games with their ultra graphic violence and certainly won't allow my son to play them, but I feel something like TA is okay and can see that it actually gets him to use his brain a bit, unlike most console arcade games that just require skill mostly.

Despite many years of being a fan of RTS/TBS I'm not a hard core gamer, just a casual one, and not really that good a player either. Nevertheless, I do have fun, and after having a break from any gaming for over 5 years feel like getting back into it again, at least for a while. Oh, and I avoid "Steam" like the plague.

Sorry for the long and rambling post.

I look forward to some hopefully helpful replies.

Cheers,

Hello! I've been looking for certain computer games from my childhood, but I haven't been able to find even a hint of it anywhere online. I remember it being a rainforest game from around the 1990s, possibly educational, where you're able to play as a jaguar (or panther?) and you search the rainforest for eggs by climbing trees and clicking places. There were other things to play but that was always my favorite.

I think it came with another game that was interactive where you click on animals, all I remember is a hippo opening its mouth once clicked on. Argh, I shouldn't have given them away when I was younger, now I'm wracking my brain trying to find them!

I believe it was called Rainforest, or something like that, but the only options that come up when I search are The Amazon Trail and EcoQuest. I don't remember the company who made them to help my search.

If this rings a bell for anyone please let me know, it's been killing me for a while! Thanks for any help!

Okay so this is going to be incredibly vague, but hopefully I can get some help

It's an old PC game and you were a god over the underworld. You mined through the world to unlock certain creatures and buildings, killing dwarves and creatures, you only had a kind of hand and you clicked to command like the old warcraft games. I have been searching for forever, and finally stumbled onto this thread so hopefully someone knows.

I remember lots of red and dark mines, but I miss this game!!!

There was a game I used to watch my brother play when we were kids. All I remember is that you were a squirrel and you beat the crap out of other squirrels using uppercuts and spinning kicks and whatnot, and it had minecraft-esque blood that poured from the other squirrel.
Horrible sounding, but we loved it.

Maybe:

Magic School Bus - The Rainforest (1997)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S9pI82H-O_0

it has many mini-games on it and maybe one of those is the Jaguar's mini-game. There is even a Jaguar there, but I don't know if it is the one you're looking for because I don't have the game and in the youtube videos there are some levels but not all the walkthrough...

That's it. Great. Thanks for the quick reply. I'd forgotten about MobyGames website. Terrific resource. I'd also forgotten about the customizing editor in Front Lines. I wonder if there are any similar "lite Wargames" with such an easy to use editor, preferably slightly more recent. Old DOS games can be a pain to get running on a Laptop with Windows 8 64Bit.

The start of the Youtube video lists Battles in Time. As I recall, it was a real turkey. Many of the old games that are listed on MobyGames and at Wikipedia were never sold here in Australia, (to my knowledge anyway)so I'll have a look at what I missed out on.

Many thanks.

Cheers,
