Found this thread via google search.

The game I've never been able to find the name of was played in/around 1994/1995 on a Mac.

I'm about 95% sure you were on another planet. There were alien cops and if you mouthed off to them, they would kill you and it would cut to an image of a brain in a jar and there would be an alien smoking a cigarette and the text would say something like "The aliens marveled at your small brain" or something along those lines.

You could walk into bars and get drunk. Basically the scene got blurry and I seem to remember that if you drank too much OR cussed at them, they would kick you out.

You had a free form text box to enter what you wanted to say. Of course as kids, the first thing we did was cus at them and that's how we discovered that you got killed for cussing at the alien police.

I have a game that I've been looking for, for years! I can see what it looks like in my head but I can't think of the name of it for the death of me. It's a PC game, I want to say it's in the 90's, but I'm not sure. You play as a little boy with orange hair and everything is cartoonish. You live in a big house with other people, it's like a big apartment house of some sort? With plenty of weird characters. You start off going to the kitchen because it's diner time, but your older sister says that the diner menu or whatnot is missing and you need to go find it somewhere in the house. From going to room to room and picking up things and solving puzzles to get different things in return for other things you get deeper into the house and what not. That's all I can remember. I do remember certain things about certain rooms. I remember you having to do a puzzle in the bathroom with boats or something. I remember having to get something from a soda machine. Getting milk from a cow that was in the kitchen. There was a certain room that you couldn't get into unless you had a vip pass. Haha. This was my favorite game to play as a kid, and I really want to remember what it is called and find it and play it and be happy. Haha. Can anyone help me out, please? :)

Hello, I found this thread from google, I hope someone could help me find this game's title.. This game was a JRPG game.. The console was Playstation 1.. I remember playing it at around 2002 or 2003.. This game has a turn-based battle system, similar to those of Final Fantasy 7,8, or 9.. The only thing I remember is a battle which the party is fighting a single man (drunk/crazy, or maybe a hooligan) using wooden spear/stick and twisting it, the battle is located in a storage/bar, maybe the party was challenged by him.. The bar/storage was located in a village at a middle of a forest.. this is the vague I can get, it's appreciated if someone can help me out.. :)

P.S sorry for my English.. :)

Ok there was a game made in the 90s that was for children. I can't remember the name for the life of me but:
It was a side scrolling game, the art seemed very Tim Burton like, it was filled with monsters and ghosts and took place in a school. You where a normal kid trapped there. The beginning of the game had lightning and I think you got attacked from monsters under the bed. It was an educational game too so you had to solve Math puzzles throughout the game. I also want to say it was black and white?
Thanks in advanced!
Bumping to see if anyone has anything on this. I've seriously looked all over. I don't remember if it was a demo or not but I'm hoping someone can help.

I just found out about this thread and i am hoping someone can help me, i remember playing this turn based rpg, pretty much clasical boy becomes some kind of knight thing, you could control a number of characters during combat at the same time like with most turn based games , the main detail i remember about the game is that at the middle of the game or possibly the end you board a big ship with most of your villager or town and it takes you to some island and on that island you find a city wit phoneixes, you also recruit one in your party ( the phoenixes look quite silly) the character look pretty much like the humans from the pokemon game (when exploring the world) and the movement is like that. Also it might be quite old since i remember i played it arround 2004 maybe on my pentium 2.
This sounds like Shining Force 2. Your people escape from their town on a ship crash onto a new continent and rebuild the town there. Peter the Phoenix finds you and you and your party accompany him to the birdman city of Tristan. This is a very popular game on the Sega Genesis/Megadrive

I would like to ask if any of you knows a nintendo game on which the character is a boy wearing a red baseball cap and he comes with a blonde girl.. It's sort of an adventure game and as long as i can remember they were finding a stone or a footprint..
Is it Earthbound you are thinking of?

Hello everyone.

First of all, wonderful thread.

I've been desperate looking for this particular game and hoping anyone can help me.

My game is a PC game, some kind of resource gathering - kingdom / tribe building.

It features hunting, stone quarry and you may get more people from your population by "mating" your male and female people from your current population.

And later on you can also build some kind of military unit like archer or swordsman..

I played this game long time ago and I am kinda missing the game.

Anyone knows? Thanks in advance.. :)

Hi there!

First of all gr8 thread ;)
My game is a NES game, I played long ago. It's a side scrolling game, what I can remember, there were 3 playable characters:
- a samurai type person(long black hair, white and black combined robe with a blade)
- a guy with a pistol (if I remember correct, he had short hair, with green and black clothes)
- a guy with a machine gun type of weapon(full black with a black hat)
You had to fight over levels, like mansions (with lot of rooms to explore), chinese huts (it was on the second level of the game). On every end of the level in a room you had to fight with a boss. if the enemy caught you, you had the option to resume with one of the other 2 characters. There where rooms where you could find your captured character tied up and you could set him free. The gameplay resembles to Castlevania in some ways, but not much!

I hope anyone knows this game I'm looking for years now. Thanks :))

I'm looking for a murder mystery game, I think I played it in 2000. When you solved the mystery there would be a newspaper article saying how you solved it.

There were mini games in the game and everytime you won one, you'd get a clue to the suspect. Like there was a word game and a horse racing game and in the end when you went to solve the mystery in a lab, you'd hop on clouds? The clouds had to rhyme with the previous word or you'd fall.
Then when you got in the lab, you'd put your clues in a machine to solve it or something? I vaguely remember the guy you played with was a ghost or a reporter. There was a dining room game with the food too, you were in a big house, with a foyer and dining room. There was a graveyard too and the tombstones had words on them.
I really cant remember the name. I actually gave the discs of the games to my local aftercare centre and I really miss it.

This is a great forum

Hello everyone!

A friend of mine recently asked me about a game that?d start by your charakter (probably a ?hacker??) being involved in a car accident just to find himself in the sewers. It?s an fps, you start with (a lot of?) melee weapons like a lead pipe and the game vaguely resembles deus ex in that you can upgrade stuff and there are friendly npc?s down there with you, which involve some strange creatures. It reminded him of shadowrun, and it was supposed to have come out around the year 2000 (+/- 3/4 years).

Hello awesome people!

I am looking for a game that has a 2d map and there are 4 squid-like races playable, they collect these "water bubbles" and after a while some of your squids evolve into warriors, whilst slowly exploring the map from one side to the other. I remember the story of the 4 species living together but then the planet was destroyed by a "leviathan". If anyone knows the title of the game I would be very grateful.

Thanks in advance!

After googling for about 2 weeks I came about this thread and I thought finally, hope and wisdom!.

This PC mind\logic game trace back to Win98\WinME. You start off in front of a castle and a gate with a safe out front, which you obv don't have the combination for. The first thing you basically see is a house you can enter, and inside it it's a study with a desk, window, picture frame etc. You click the window and a weird guy jumps up and laughs maniacally for a second then he's gone. (Scared the crap out of 8 year old me) Also, a guy in his late 50's\early 60's with glasses and little white hair, appears somewhat through the game, saying a bunch of things I can't remember.

I know the game was called something on C, like Connected or Confused or something but all my google searching haven't payed out and the CD is looong gone.

Does anyone know which game I'm talking about?

Thanks in advance!

Hello everybody.I'm asking for your help because there is one game that I played all the time in my childhood.I can't remember it's name.Here are some details :
It had robots.You were one robot and you could change in many robots like one with a cape and green shining claws that would steal money from any other robot's back by dragging them.Or that pink fat robot , even a police little man robot.Help,please ! They even had planes wich were able to fly in a robotic-thing land.
Thank you for your attention.
-Sukarai


DETAILS : I remember one mission , where there was that pink rich fat robot in a hot water bath tub . He sat there untill one evil robot came and turned the water to boilling hot.

Or a jail escape where there was this one little robot which helped you escape jail.But there were alot of little police robots with one blue eye and the other one was red.They had blue bodies.And even bigger police robots which were like " Hey , you ! Stop. Give me money." and they wouldn't stop saying " give me money " , and if you leaved they alerted the other police robots.The little ones were the same.


I remember the game's name was something like S... or something.I dont know that much.Thank you.

EDIT : They even had a club area and lot of places like banks where there were alot of those thief robots and you could race other robots and kill them in the robotic land thing.You could upgrade your ship in one place with a circled door in the robotic land.There were alot of nice ships you could make and upgrade.


EDIT 2 : FOUND It , it's named Scrapland.Thanks to Woodsey.

i remember playing a game a long time ago , not sure if it was ps1 or ps2 but anyways the game started off with a group of young people preparing to set sail on a wooden ship , i remember that boat crashes or something like that and you have to go to the dock of the ship where you end up fighting this huge sea creature, after you beat him you end up on a island where you have to complete various puzzles with your friends. (I know this a very bland in detail but its all I can remember) Please help , ive been looking for the title of this game for years!!

Please someone find this game it's for windows I think. This is the only part I remember. You played what I think was a detective. If you used your gun on the window he would throw it put the window and someone would shot and kill you. I think was point and click. Thanks souch for any help I have been looking for this game for years.
No one knows what this game was? I have been looking for it for years now. It was dark kinda like a film noire look. He had one of those cool old hats and the coat like the old detective movies. Thanks.

Alright so this one may be a bit hard. No one I've talked to has any clue what I'm talking about.

So, I played this game in the late 90s early 2000's on my mothers windows PC.
The game was under "games" in the start menu along with Xevious and Solitaire and Space Pinball, not sure if that helps at all.

The game was top down, and you piloted a some type of ship
Each level was a platform in space with open sides
To complete the level you had to shove all of the other ships/enemies off the edge
After a certain amount of time the "tiles" that made up the floor would start falling off, making the level harder to navigate
I remember a few levels having this big pyramid looking thing that spat out more enemies but i can't remember how to kill it, just that it was there.

If any one knows what this is I'd love to find out.
