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

Hi, there

I can't remember the name of the following PC game.
I've played it in the 90s (only its demo from a magazine CD)

(the intro) It's about a young boy (blond) in school. It is in class and for some reason
the teacher punishes him by locking him in a closet. In the meantime something bad happens.
- the sky turns black, the light disappears and everybody starts screaming and running.

It seems like the darkness was eating everybody.
Your hero gets out of the closet and game starts

You must survive in a 2D game. Each screen is something like a puzzle where you must
understand how to escape the Dark enemy, and then you continue to the right where is a next screen/puzzle.

I am almost sure that there is "Darkness" in the name of the game.

I hope someone remembers it.
Thanks

I need to remember a VERY old game:

Your character is a living Skeleton wearing purple medieval cloths and wielding a giant sword.
Obviously you are the bad guy and you must kill all the humans to win a level.
The action was top-down and you turn around your character trying to kill them with your sword.
If the enemies manage to kill you, your skeleton before die he screaming while bleeding in the same time until his body disappear completely.

Medievil. Definitely Medievil

Nope, I know this game and it isn't this one.
It was an old DOS game that you were an EVIl skeleton.
Also the view was from the top.

I'm trying to remember this game from the 90s. An isometric high-quality sprite based game in which you play as a warrior or a knight type character.
I only ever played the demo for it, but in the demo you start off training in an arena with another group of knights, and after you go to your room where a girl is waiting.
You have a conversation with her about how women, or guests perhaps, are forbidden I the barracks.
Some stuff happens after that, and you end up having to leave the place to go on an epic adventure, and that's where the demo ends.

If I remember correctly, the color red plays a large part in the knights outfitting.

Maybe "Nox" or "Blood Omen 1" ?

I really hope someone can help me out, I doubt it, but I can hope.

The game I'm thinking of was a Japanese demo on a American game. I have absolutely no memory of the actual game. But the demo was kinda like spinning tops that you could battle. That's all I can remember.

-American game with hidden demo of a Japanese game (demo was 100% in Japanese)
-Japanese game was battling spinning tops.


If anyone can help I'd be more that grateful.

Edit: IT IS A PLAYSTION 1 game

Require some assistance please, figuring out an old PC Game, memory isn't getting any better with age.

I would have played it in the late nineties or early 2000's on what may have been Win 95. What I can remember is;

RTS, with GFX on par with the original C&C RA and maybe just a bit behind the first cossacks (maybe)and similar game play, build a base, build units etc..

Resources were Stone, Pumpkins type food and Scrap and this was generally littered all over the map and you had to send peasants to collect. I can barely remember this game, other than pumpkins were in it.

edit:

Identified it as Rising Lands.

[Katmat]

Anyone know this game?
I was playing it in year 2000. I got an cd with some sample games on it.

The things I remember about the game:
* The game was a "climb/jump to the top, style" game.

- You were a "green man", with a pistol which shot "pink bullets"
- There where monsters you would have to kill on the way to the top.
- The setting where in a jungle.
- The game started under the ground, (below the jungle?)

Kinda like the game Blackthorne (graphically)

Can anyone help me find out wich game this is?

Thank you!

 

[almiovic]

there's an old pc game i remember ("game" might be a loose term) that involved making pathways for various colored dots to follow around the screen; there were different background screens and various choices of music (i remember one of them being grieg's "in the hall of the mountain king"), and a level or two where instead of colored dots, the shapes you created pathways for were a ballerina and a police-car chase. i would LOVE to be able to remember what this thing was.

Ok, I played this game around the year 2000. I remember the camera was like Diablo. It was an exploration game where you solved puzzles and avoided monsters. There was an inventory. I remember one part of the game where there was orange waste (like, radioactive stuff) on the ground. I never beat the game and I remember having loads of fun. I just want to find it again.

No, I remember it being more along the style of the early Quest for Glory games.

There was a game back in the Windows' 95 glory days with a red car, where you were driving on a road next to the beach. On the sides there were palms(obviously) and sometimes restaurants ( diner). It had more levels, and I remember that one was on a green field and it had a lot of windmills on the side. If you press space you can get other cars on the street ( There were yellow VW Beetle lookalikes , trucks and others). There was a girl with you in the car. If you'd have crashed the car, it would roll over and the girl (blonde) would get angry. Can you helpp me find it?

Sounds just like OutRun, or maybe the sequel.

I can't remember the name of this game but I'm pretty sure I played it on my computer in the early 2000's. It was a top-down game, and by that I mean the camera was similar to Diablo. I believe the main character was a male child (for some reason spiky hair comes to mind). I think the story is basically something like, main character accidentally gets teleported (i think) to some island that has monsters on it and i think he is searching for a way back. I remember puzzles were a main focus of this game. I remember radiation and mutants, like i specifically remember an area with orange nuclear waste on the ground and orange mutants walking around in it. I know for a fact it is not Fallout, but it is similar i guess. The graphics looked 3D and they had this weird shiny tint on everything. I thought it had the word Island in the title but I can't find it.

Anyone have any ideas about this? games that might be similar? this is really bugging me

 

[Thomas Neef]

So i thought of this all the sudden...

I used to play a game on the NES(nintendo entertainment system),waay back in the 95-20's (if i am correct)i think it was just a platformgame(side scrolling) where you would basicly jump/shoot/move in one direction with a character.

You could also ride on dinosaurs?where you would had multiple dinosaurs or evolutions of the dinosaur,cannot quite rememmber the rest,anyone has a clue?

Exuse me for my english(not so good at it)

 

[The Dahaka]

1. Arkanoid or any variation on that game

2. Asteroids. I do remember there being like an Asteriods remake and that's probably the one you are looking for.

thanks for trying but it wasn't either of them, or DX BALL The Dahaka turns out there's a crap load of breakout games,and asteroid games.



#1 was a breakout game in or before 2000 and one of the powers turned your ball just plain red making it penetrate through the bricks (not blaster ball) instead of bouncing off, and level four i distinctly remember being a regular rectangle of multicolored bricks with a pitch black back round.

#2 wasn't asteroids either although it sort of resembled blasteroids a sequel to asteroids, this game was much weirder with the same setting and concept, the aliens played a big part in levels later on although i cant remember what they looked like except for a blue one maybe that resembled a manta ray also i don't remember fighting enemy spaceships...................... ugh if only it was asteroids this is killing me.

I told you, the first one is DX-ball

Creatures by any chance?

 

[mindspirail]

Im looking for an old pc game were you build a robot army and fight up to 3 other armies in real time? and the comander robot looked kinda like a gundam ina way

 

[the_p0x]

Trying to find an old game I used to play, I'm sure it exists in flash form somewhere.
It pretty much looked like the windows screen-saver bouncing around in a box. You have to draw vertical and horizontal lines to take away the space where it can bounce around, you get scored on time and the size of the space you eventually trap the bouncing object in. Any help would be greatly appreciated
