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

[WoW Killer]

It was a JRPG for the Gamecube. Main character had this head of red hair, had a blonde girlfriend. Looked very young. First boss was a ginat venus fly trap. First place was an Aztech looking ruin. THen they went and fought on an airship.

Could be the same one that came up a few weeks back. I only played the Dreamcast version. It was called Evolution Worlds on the Gamecube.

Red-haired main character and blonde girl is a fit. They went round lots of ruins, and I remember a bit on an airship later on.

I've got three I can't remember. One of them was a game that I saw my friend play about a decade ago, where one of the bosses was a giant dragon, which he fought after talking to an older looking man of Asian descent. It was for the PS2 or Xbox, if memory serves correctly. I remember that he kept failing it, and eventually he was given the option to skip over the battle entirely. A lot of shooting. I thought it was a True Crime game for a long while, but I'm not so sure now. There was another game he played shortly after that one, he said it was a Bruce Lee game, but it didn't look like the other one I saw (which had some really crappy gameplay). He may have been referring to the fact that it was a fighting game that reminded him of Bruce Lee. It looked better than the one I know of, and had a third person perspective.

The next one is a game I never played, but I saw a Youtube video of it. This was around the time L.A. Noire was about to be released, and I was looking for some gameplay vids, but all I ended up finding was a game that clearly wasn't L.A. Noire, but it looked interesting so I watched anyways. It was a detective game, I believe, and one part had the player character beating someone up for information. All I can remember about the game aside from that is that the song "Stranger in Moscow" by Michael Jackson was playing on the radio. Anyone know the names of any of these? Any info is greatly appreciated.

That Bruce Lee game might be God Hand actually. Its a TPP brawler.

I need help finding this game it was around the medieval times in china I think so far from what I can remember it was in a battlefield you can mount and unmount horses you can fight the enemy on the horse or on land the only weapon that is equipped is a sword and I think there are main targets you have to kill

 

[jeremy.jerome]

my turn.

Maybe mid-nineties. Its a computer game, a rpg. You start as a baby and you start in a ?cave? when you gain exp you grow up, and you have red hair, eventually. Outside you fight wild animals. I remember if you went directly left of the starting position there were some really strong animals-elephant and alligator- but if you were lucky you could get to some kind of knife that was really helpful in the beginning. If you killed a jaguar you received its pelt as ?armor? it was an overhead view, not a side scroller. thats all i remember

Anyone have any ideas? i have been looking for this game forever, and i know the information i have is really vague. I think that end game you could get or buy a gold sword. also something about a secret key that you had to buy online that opened a boulder that allowed access to a different part of the map...

anyone? anyone? bueller?....

I also remember a little bit about the battle system. I remember something about random battles, you couldnt see the animals on screen. there was no battle animation, just a 'card' of the animal with a picture and stats side by side with your picture and stats. And you had some options of what to do...i think it was just fight or run...

I have been searching for this game for years! any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for creating this thread!

I've been trying to find this game that I played on my grandma's PC because the music STILL plays in my head from AT LEAST 10 years ago. So, it may have been in Japanese, which could be why I'm having more trouble finding it. It's adventure, fantasy, sidescroll/page shift? It wasn't tiny pixels, the characters, who I believe you got the chance to pick at the beginning either male or female, were decorated and shaded well. Still 2D, but the art was beautiful. I always picked a female character; there was more than one because I remember trying to make a game for each character. So you kind of wander in this group? You wind up with like three or four? You may have been able to switch characters in game?? I remember specifically walking over a log to cross to another side of the... cave? A waterfall was the background. I'm trying to recall if the commands were on the bottom of the screen or not. (if it was in japanese, then i would've had no clue anyway)It made me wonder if it was a Final Fantasy of some kind, but none that I've looked at so far match. It's pretty... Japanese-looking, you know what I mean? Like FF:CC Japanese looking.

Please help! I want to play it again/find the music! Thank you!

If anyone can figure this out for me, I'll be forever grateful. D:

I am hoping beyond hope that someone can help me on this thread. There was a game I played in sixth grade on my teacher's Apple II or Apple IIgs (I don't remember exactly). I remember that it was an educational, general trivia type game (it recommended that you use the World Book Encyclopedia). Within the game, all I vaguely remember was that you were collecting pieces of what I think was a dinosaur skeleton or something like that (if I am even remembering correctly). I know the graphics were rather simple, I remember nothing too flashy.

The game came recently to mind because there was one question late in the game which my friends and I could never answer correctly, and we couldn't find it in the encyclopedia. I want just the title so I can at least make a connection to my memory (and maybe even find a way to get my hands on it). I hope someone out there can help.

Thank you.

Alright here goes, posting this once again. It's been many years since I've seen any sign of this game anywhere on the internet. I believe it was a point and click game from the Aladdin/Pink Panther games era, similar cartoony graphics to the Aladdin game. Set in a medieval castle, you played as the son of the king or something, a kid who had really really low ears. Like they were practically in line with his mouth, it looked weird.


This kid discovered some kind of......conspiracy or ritual with some dark knights or something. It had cartoon video sequences interspersed with the levels, and each screen usually had a few hidden gags or pointless things to click on. There was was also a separate level thing where you could drag and drop characters and items from the game and they would interact with each other.

That's the best I have, no idea of the name at all. I think it ran off a floppy disk. If anyone has...anything, a name a screenshot, that would be amazing.

I am trying to find out the name of an arcade game that we used to play in the late 80's, possibly early 90s. Apologies if it has already been asked about on here but I can't seem to track it down.

The version we played was Japanese so we never really knew the real name of it at the time (although I did download it on an emulator many moons ago but I just cant remember what it was called!).

The premise of the story was (I think) that a boy and a girl were walking through the forest and a wizard (?) stole the girl. The boy then goes on a mission to rescue his girlfriend dodging various foes along the way. They include floating witches heads and fluffy gonks. He could collect moneybags/treasure chests too and spend them at a shop to power up. Later levels included jumping over steam and dodging presses.

I have a photo of my friend when she completed the game for the first time. The cabinet has BAS written across the top (this may or may not be relevant) and the final scene looks like a meadow with a bandstand and statue.

Can anyone help? I'm running out of key words to google!

 

[Batou667]

Ok i still have not found the name of this game, i was young when i played it, it was definitely a sega game idk what i had it was durning the late 90s it may have been a genesis, anyways excuse my rough description of the game all i can say is it was a 2d flatscreen game and you started on a futuristic alien jungle and you could shoot the aliens with a handgun or you could throw a rock and they would walk to it to distract them i think the character had like a brown jacket and blue jeans i am in your debt if you know the name of this game i cant find it anywhere.

Flashback.

 

[Batou667]

I remember this game i think it was played on the sega megadrive (Genesis) in the 90's. Description of it you were a little spaceship with baby angel wings where you would fight bosses, last boss with a big rainbow fish. That is all i can remember. If someone could remember would help a great deal as i have been searching for hours

Fantasy Zone?

 

[Batou667]

There was one where you played a boy who went to get his dog back from a shadow world.

Also, there was one where you were a guy who controlled little green aliens. Goo ones!

Fist one is Heart of Darkness. This thread really should have a sticky, that game alone must have been requested about 30 times by now!

 

[Rahnee]

Hey,
I'm hoping someone can help me! There is this game i used to play where the main character is a boy with brown hair and uses a pistol. The girl has pink hair and uses a sword. I'm pretty sure you could find pieces to craft lots of things. I remember at one point in the game you got to this place where you could build your own house and make trees and bushes and also a pond which you can fish out of. Please help me i need this game. Thanks!
Edit: i'm pretty sure it was Xbox Original but maybe ps2

I think this game might be Dark Chronicles for ps2

Hi all, im new to this site and need some help with a game.
I have this one game i cant find and cant get of my mind. It was my ex who introdused me to the game, but he nor his friends can remember the name of the gam
Its a gamme where u controll a vehicle that can walk on ground and fly, but it cant go in water. u also fight in air and on the ground. and u have to land on plattforms to recharge ur energy (shield and weapon). Theese plattforms are either on ground or on air carrier ships. The vehicle is blue and silver/grey if i remember correctly. if im not wrong u do not start out as a pilot, but you have to step in for the real pilot. and u go trough training in ground and air combat. and you do not controll a char just this vehicle.

Thanks to Batou667's reply to noname i found my game and it was battle engine aquila
