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

[trackchange]

Hi all,
There was a game I've played on SNES with Floppy disk around 95-97. I've played countless hours of it until the floppy broke months later. I never seen actual cartridge and its cover photo. It was a Japanese game with all Japanese text, so I never knew the title. I remember the gameplay but I just can't find it again without knowing the name of game nor any of the characters.
It's a space strategy game where you need to conquer other AI planets (I don't think there's multiplayer option. It's like you playing 1 v 3AI in Red Alert).
There are 4 groups of planets: Red, Blue, Green and (I think) Yellow. They probably had names but I only know them by color since all in-game text are in Japanese.
Red group contains the least number of planets/smallest area on map but I think it has stronger units and Green group has of the most number of planets and spread across majority of the map but has the least powerful units or something like that.
I think each group has like 3 or so commanders (I don't know what they are actually called. Me and friends used to called them Prince, Princess, Commander, etc...). You need a commander to lead an attack or defense. It's like in Risk, you move a commander to a planet where you expect enemy invasion or where you want to begin an assault next turn.
I don't remember any resource collecting.
Battle are I think 5 v 5 units and like vintage Final Fantasy battle or Pokemon battle with 5v5 pokemons.
It was really a great game. I hope someone here can help. Thanks in advance.

thanks biomechanical923 and cloroxbb for the help, those are the games! I totally forgot I had a sega saturn.
I have two other games that I played when I was really little for the macintosh.
1. This computer game was an ocean game where you look at fish underwater in a submarine I think. You were also able to have an aquarium where you can decorate the tank with statues and decorations you won. The front of the game disc had this diver with a scuba mask and flippers but it didn't look human.
2. The second computer game was similar to a sticker book where you choose a scene and place characters on it. There was a beach and pirate scene where you can place Hook and Peter on it. It wasn't a disney game though. I think in this game you can also paint backgrounds and characters and make a scene also. There was a particular character that had elf ears, long brown hair, a hat, and a sort of magicians cloak.

Thanks again!

I would like to bump this question I am looking for this game. 1. This computer game was an ocean game where you look at fish underwater in a submarine I think. You were also able to have an aquarium where you can decorate the tank with statues and decorations you won. The front of the game disc had this diver with a scuba mask and flippers but it didn't look human. I cannot find it, I have checked mobygames, abandonware, wikipedia, etc. Some more information about my play of it was that it was also on windows, probably released between 1990 and 2002. The menu was a table with all your instruments within the submarine, you would play minigames or something to earn statues and decorations for your aquarium. Any games that pop up in your head when thinking of this would be helpful, even if you are not sure it is the game.

Hi, i am also looking for this game but to no avail. If im not wrong, was the submarine purple in colour?

Hi everyone,

there are 2 games i would need help finding. Both games i have played around 1995.

1. This is a detective/Puzzle game of 2 cartoon characters. I remember there were 2 stages, 1 taking place in Paris and the other in Egypt. The location were using real pictures whereas the characters were cartoon. Its like a puzzle clicking type of game and traveling from 1 location to another. All i can remember is that the 2 characters would be mummified if they lose the Egypt Stage or they would be hospitalized with bandages all over if they lose the Paris Stage with the bad guy talking on the phone. If im not wrong the bad guy was a crocodile.


2. Another is an Educational game where the objective is to find different colors Kangaroos that dashes off to different places at the start of the game. I cannot remember what were the games or puzzles played but they were educational. I think there were about 8 Kangaroos. All i can remember is the famous quote they said before dashing off, ''Catch me if you can''.


These 2 games were a huge part of my childhood and i will greatly appreciate any help in finding these 2 games

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

It might be a Dynasti warriors game

I really hope someone will be able to help me find a game I used to play on my PC as a kid. Think 2000 or 2001, plus or minus a year or two.

From what I can remember, you played the role of some kind of investigator. I can't remember the plot, but I have faint memories of it either being a murderer who escaped from prison or someone who stole some piece of art from a museum. Either way, he had now disguised himself and was hiding somewhere in the world.

You have to travel to different locations around the world to find him. On each location, you would be presented with a crowd of people, and the criminal might or might not be somewhere in this crowd. If you think you saw him, you had to click on him. Two places I can remember were in the game are Nuuk and Sydney. In the background there would be some generic landscaping from that location. For instance, in Nuuk, there was snow and ice and someone passing by on a sled of some sort.

If your guess was correct, you had to complete some type of challenge in order to "catch" this criminal. The only one I can remember, because it scared me so much when I was little, was a bomb you had to defuse. You were given a choice of 3 or so wires and had to cut the correct one. If correct, game over, if wrong, loud boom and you had to go to a new location as the criminal escaped.

Someone else I asked told me about the Carmen Sandiego games. I have looked at them on Youtube, and while the concept of traveling is similar, it's not the game I am thinking of.

Okay, so the game I'm thinking of was probably a ps2 game, fantasy-like, animeish. It could be multi-player but it's not split screen. You were on a farm and you could get a pet and it follows you around. I think it was a mythical pet. There was this one level where you go into a little mountain area and you attack mushrooms or something like that. Everything is really vague so I don't even know if my recollections are correct, but it was definitely very cheerful and sunny, with flute-y music, etc...

I remember a pc gam I played with my brother in the late 90' or 2000 we had each a huge spider-like robot which could fly or transform and land, we could play against each other or together, you could shoot laser/plasma sort of things which you could charge up, but I can't remeember the name!

 

[uncleswagg]

I remember a playstation game I played when I was younger.
It was some kind of a red duck / bird thingy, if I'm not wrong. It was pretty fast.
And if I don't remember wrong, it had a blue sweater.
Sorry for bad explaination etc, but I can't remember it well.

All kinds of tips appreciated!

I used to play a PC game when I was a kid. It was a 2d platformer. You had to colect tiny round gold ingots nad sometimes there were diamonds. The player character was dressed in a white lab coat (I think!). The first level was at the surface, and very easy, but then you had to go down on a mine elevator to reach the second level. Then there were some enemies running back and forth, and chasing you, and you could run to the elevator cage and use it as a safe zone. If you touched the enemies you would die.
To go to the next level you had to collect gold or gems and reach the other elvator to go down.

I hope this is enough!

Thanks in advance!

hello everyone, like a lot of people, i created an account to find a game, and apparently, this guy is looking for the same game as me, so i will help him and myself by doing this, so if anyone have any idea of the name or the company of the game, please answer

Hey guys, don't know if anyone has asked this before, but I remember an arcade game I played like 12 years ago, it was a side-scrolling game, beat em up, and the characters were some guys which fight on the streets, it wasn't streets of rage or double dragon, neither final fight, the special thing I remember about this game was that there were some power ups that transformed the characters into guys more bigger or stronger... They didn't transform in monsters or animals, they just were bulked up or something, maybe someone knows it?

PD: There is an online game named urban rivals that it looks like the game I'm trying to remember, but it was an arcade...

OK, here I go
I played an old (I think on a MAC) computer game that was installed onto my schools computers when I was in grade 3 (which was in 1997-1998). It was a puzzle game, you first start off by picking from 3 kids (different kids gave you different difficulty levels if I recall correctly). Then, you click different parts on an island, and if you solve the different puzzles/challenges, you could get items. I never beat the game, but I remember that a) most scenes are just still pictures that require different clicks to solve the puzzle, and b) most of the game was black and white, and the animation was weird and a little creepy. Thanks!

Hi guys. I want to know the name of this PC side scrolling game. (I'll tell some various level that I hope some of you may know.) You control a robot, if not, a humanoid and if not a humanoid, a human. (Sorry, I can't really tell. I'm really sorry) The enemies are robots and i'm sure of it. For the setting or level, the setting is a city and it's night time. Then you go to a Pine Forest (I have no idea why) and it's still full of robot enemies. For the others, you sometimes need a color coded keycard to enter this specific door. I still remember an in-game easter egg. The easter egg is a poster of the movie "Predator". I hope that helps. I'm terribly sorry if my English is bad. Really sorry.

 

[guapman]

It was a Japanese game...
2D, rpg type
The main character had a gun and needed to absorb sunlight to shoot, while another character was a dark type character...
The last boss was some kind of worm? If i remember correctly.
help please!
