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

[porous_shield]

This game I played was for ps2 It started with two people finding a genie or something. After that you name your character and the genie destroys your town and the other towns. You wake up and go into a cave and find these orbs that give you the buildings of your old town and you choose where you place these buildings in the town. You fight bats and other monsters and if your sword breaks you have to fix it with a powder. Also you find a cat and you give it a potion and it turns into a girl.







That's all I remember so if you know it please tell me thanks.

I think the game you're looking for is Dark Cloud.

i'm looking for an older game i'm guessing around 2003. It's a 2D pixel game, you can move Up, Down, Left and Right. you start out as a guy with blond hair (i'd guess around 18 years old) and he wakes up and turns on the light, then turns it off (or something like that) and in that first scene you can see the moon out of his window. you fall asleep after that then I THINK you have lost your memory then he walks out of his room and he's not at his house, instead he's at some alien place. You're walking around in a robe examining various things and talking to other weird aliens. that's the only true part of the strory line that I remember.
I only remember a few scenes from this game. here they are.

I remember there was a weird theatre place and you were surrounded by aliens with you watching it. I think he looses intrest then leaves.
another part is where you have a toy car and you find a bumper sticker but say "That wont fit on my toy car.
I need a bigger one" or something like that. and the last thing I remember is you knock on one of the aliens doors and it rawrs at you really loud.

I know, I know it's a weird ass game but I really want to check it out again!
For anyone who could help, thanks in advance!

Hi,

I hope someone knows that name of this game I played on Windows 98.

I think it was a 2D isometric Mars colony simulation game/Simcity on Mars between 1998 and 2002.

When the game starts, you are located on a colony ship above Mars and there is a menu prompting you to launch/eject the escape/colony pods. If you launch too soon, the pods will fire retroburners too soon and crash, and if you launch too late, the pods fire retroburners too late and crash or the ship in space explodes/runs out of oxygen.

The pods looked like this, but in top down isometric view: http://www.chthulhu.com/models/hab/100_0652a.jpg
If you were launched the pods at the right moment, all 4 pods survive landing, otherwise 1 or more would crash and leave a tile of rubble.

I think the in-game GUI and terrain looked similar to Life on Mars?: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vajYpGgv3qM
However, the buildings were different.

To begin building, you would have to build a corridor from one of the pods. The corridors looked like this the + shaped buildings in Moonbase: http://www.emuparadise.me/GameBase%20Amiga/Screenshots/M/Moonbase_-_Lunar_Colony_Simulator_1.png
or the x shaped buildings in Outpost: http://s.uvlist.net/l/y2011/11/89809.jpg
The buildings must be constructed next to a corridor or another building similar to Moonbase and Outpost.

I think the greenhouse sprites looked like this: http://www.outofthecradle.net/WordPress/wp-content/uploads/pole_colony.jpg
or this: http://www.creativecrash.com/system/photos/000/095/261/95261/big/greenhouse3.jpg?1275254426

There were other buildings, but I can't remember what they looked like. All the buildings had the same sized footprint (occupied a tile) and all the tiles were the same size.

I think in the game, you could also build rovers that looked like this: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3a/Sojourner_on_Mars_PIA01122.jpg/220px-Sojourner_on_Mars_PIA01122.jpg
The rovers were built from the pods and you used them to explore the planet. I think there was a day/night cycle, so that the rovers could only move during the day.

The game might also have been single player turn-based.

I'm sorry I don't remember much more.

I'm figuratively dying to know the name of this game.

The first thing that comes to mind is Outpost.

I need help with another oldie..
You were this "Frog Kid" that had a big tongue and you could click on different places and he would launch his tongue and then swing on it..It was a side scroller...
You could catch bugs but some of them were bad (bees i think) and there was another level where you had to eat honey and then spit it (or not o.o)
Please help me :3

Superfrog?

 

[z3tzilla]

I'm figuratively dying to know the name of this game.

The closest thing i could find was Hungry Red Planet, but it's an old educational game and there's no videos, no screenshots, no nothing, so i can't really check anything...

 

[Batou667]

I don't remember much but I think it was a playstation 1 game and I remember playing it around 5 or 6 years ago.i remember that on the game it showed the button from your controller on the screen and you had to push the buttons it told you exactly or you lost. It also had I think some anime girls and it kinda had a gothic background to it. I think the girls either had to fight each other, fight something together, or dance.i don't know if it always has two girls when you play or if it was a two player because i would always play it with someone.

Was it something similar to Parappa the Rapper, Space Channel 5, Gitaroo Man etc?

 

[Batou667]

I remember playing a game on Sega Dreamcast maybe around 2001, MAYBE. But it involved a woman in a snow-covered place and she had to kill alien-looking monsters that came from underground. I remember there being some kind if classical music playing. And for some reason I remember seeing caribou. I can't remember the name of this game to save my life. Any help?

D2?

ok i got another game im trying to remember and this is really vague but original enough to narrow it down i think.
Its a shooter were you used balls as ammo, and it was for PC, think it was the 90s but could be later, very colorful too i think.
thats the only thing i remember...

and another one Is a dig dug like game where you play as a criminal or fugitive and i think theres police monsters or people that are the enemies, and think you drop rocks on them by digging up to it but can kill yourself if you stand under it, pretty sure its a pc game and also i think its around the 2000s mayby early 90s.
sorry cant remember more

Thanks in advance^^

Sounds a bit like BoulderDash; which I had waaaaay back in 1984 or so on an Apple ][c. Or possibly a form of LodeRunner I'm not familiar with. IIRC, BoulderDash had you collecting big diamonds underground but you had to be careful because of boulders that could fall down on you if your dug through the wrong section of dirt. LodeRunner however had girders and platforms and ladders and you would melt the floor, trapping your pursuers in the metal (which would seal up on them in a few seconds ... ). LodeRunner I played on my friend's Mac Classic in the late 80s.

For me; two games I'm querying:

1) Approx 1995 I think. Space flight sim where you started as a fighter pilot in some kind of human Empire. Some disputed zone where an uneasy peace existed but has just been broken after a skirmish between the human Empire and some local aliens. The campaign was very very Wing Commander-ish with a variety of missions (capital ship escort, stealthy scanning, big dog fight, blow up the capital ship, etc) but there was an 'epiphany' mission about halfway through where the Rebels pleaded with you not to attack because they were women and children on board some freighter, but your Imperial commander was screaming at you that it was a trick and the rebel leaders were having a secret meeting on board. If you didn't fire, you were labelled an turncoat and the Imperial ships attacked (and you had to defend the freighter); if you did fire, a sudden Rebel attack group swooped in and you had to battle them all and then destroy the freighter. One of the first times in a game I stopped and thought "Oh damn ... what should I do?". Later, I reloaded and found out that whether you attack the freighter or defend it, your decision is automatically the 'right' one (so you remain the 'good' guy).

Any ideas?


2) Maybe Mac Classic, circa 1986 maybe? 2D dungeon hack/rogue like basically; with little pictures representing characters etc. instead of ASCII characters. The loading screen showed a shadowy dungeon corridor with a torch on the wall I think. My friend and I got through to something like level 19 (which for some reason we thought was near the end) but we kept running into these vampires that were TOUGH to kill. I still actually remember the screen where we died because we'd been playing all day (I don't know if there was a save function...or maybe it was Moria-style permadeath). There was a wall from the right of the screen coming to the centre, there was our corpse close to the wall, and that damned vampire icon standing over us. Taunting us. Grrrr.

So I've been searching for an old pc game, I can't even remember when I played it last, probably early 2000s.

It started off in a shop where you bought supplies, then you got a boat and left. You could catch fish for food, and every so often you would get some disease. The only thing I can really remember from it is when you go to catch fish, you're looking down from your boat and all you see are the silhouettes of the fish. You had to time it right to catch them, I think using a spear, and sometimes a huge fish would swim by. Pretty much all I ever did in this game was fish, so that doesn't help much xD I'm pretty sure there was some point to the game other than fishing, it seemed like a kind of survival game.

This has been frustrating me for so long, especially since the last time I played was one of my old games, and of course I saved right before I died of a disease >.< Help!

Amazon Trail? You floated down the Amazon in a canoe and took pictures of wildlife, and had to fish, and make camp and such.

Hello all, I have a few stupid games stuck in my head that will drive me nuts until I sort them out. They were all from mid to late 90s I believe, and they're not even probably worth playing, just want to remember them!

So, first one I believe was a game aimed for children that I believe was played online. I think it was mainly just exploration, but the thing I remember is the landscape was pretty much all white and silver buildings with heaps of curves. Not very descriptive sorry.

Next was this really strange puzzle like game that I remember us playing at school. For some reason you get turned into a troll (like the toys with colored hair and belly gems) and sent to a strange land. You have to complete all sorts of tasks, one which involved a giant slingshot.

Lastly, I think I just had this as an odd demo, but it took place on a tiny round planet, similar to King Kia's planet in Dragon Ball Z. You have a little house and I think an alien dog, and are a strange purple alien.

These are all pretty silly games, but I'd just love to remember what they are.
Thanks!

Hello everyone, i am looking for a game i and my friend used to enjoy a lot in year around 2000.

It was simple two dimensional game played 1v1 or 2v2 on one keyboard. You could choose red, blue and maybe purple and green character (little figure in one colored robe). It consisted from squared area filled with boxes of your and enemies colours and you could shift your own boxes by pushing them with your character, you could kill others with your box or make theirs blocks disapper by run into them with your block. In addiction there was one more cuputer controled wizard-like figure who used to run very quickly and put mushrooms everywhere. I am not sure if you could put bombs or not to get rid of your boxes. At right, there was a ladder which schowed how many points everyone have and from like 10 games came the absolute winner. You were gaining points by killing, eliminate enemie's boxes. Mushrooms took points away.

I spended hours to find it on the internet, i used to have it from cd where were like one hundred simple games.
It would be realy kindhearted from someone of you to help me, thank you.

[andy8199]

Please for the love of god help.... The game that I cannot remember the title of was something like starfox and warhawk only sort of sandbox style per world you flied on.... It was definitely a game for the playstation 1 or 2.. I cannot remember. I remember it being space style flying like star fox/warhawk and you attacked targets on ground and in air...but you could hit the throttle and climb high in the atmosphere and fly around the planet you were on when you wanted to... almost like grand theft auto... It was not a simulator....more like a space shooter. I don't think it had much popularity with the gaming community. I remember playing it on PS1 or PS2 and its driving me nuts... Remember its like starfox and warhawk on one of the playstations. Please help..........

 

[chanceofrust]

The game I'm looking for is a PS2 Action RPG. You started out as a labrat, and after some weird experiment you broke out. The whole game (well as far as I got) was inside the lab complex. I recall having to find keys to proceed. I think battles were real time, although I'm not sure. It was a really dark atmosphere. Anyways, I want to say that "Psy" was in the name, but it must not be, because I'm having a hell of a time finding it. I'm sure that the experiments were of a psychic nature, resulting in the character gaining telekinesis/lighting. I think the main character was an androgynous youth with white hair.

Thanks.

I think you mean the game - second sight -

http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-gOJvq-1lPRA/Tmd2e4SWqCI/AAAAAAAAJNw/9Gea8iC5Lzg/s1600/secondsight-01.jpg

it was extremely easy to find via google though, if its the game your searching for.

No, I've played that one, and it's a good one...but the one I'm looking for is a Japanese RPG. The main character definitely showed it ;p
Thanks anyway though.

Does Galerians ring a bell? Gameinformer did a Super Replay of it, so you can watch it all to see if it looks familiar. Hope that helps
