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

90s educational point-and-click computer game. from what i can remember, you followed the story of a scientist and his assistant on an island. you started in his science lab and traveled to different parts of the island (a spaceship, a coliseum, the jungle, a castle). i also remember that you could create a creature by evolving it in his science lab (sort of an evolution chamber), and that creature could fight in the coliseum. there was also a part where you built a catapult and launched this eccentric scientist through a castle window. the assistant was shrunk at one point, so you had to analyze carpet fibers to find out where she was. the scientist carried around a device (i think it was called a pda at the time). the last thing i can remember was a puzzle that involved changing the wind direction to help move a hot air balloon around the island.

help please?

Okay, I've got one I've struggled with for a LONG time. It was either in the early days of the PS1 or the later life of the Sega Genesis/Megadrive. It was a robot fighting game, one on one, with awesome robot designs and a cool dark blue kind of colour aesthetic. I wish I could remember more but that's about all I have.

If anyone's played One Must Fall 2097, it's not that. It reminds me a lot of it, but it's not that.

Rise of the Robots, perhaps?

Holy. Fucking. Shit.

It is. You nailed it. I cannot thank you enough.

Although now I'm a little sad that my favourite childhood game is apparently critically reviled, but, whatever. Thanks a lot man!

You can pick up ammo and you go around like in a futuristic area and fight weird bosses like one vaguely resembled a giant foot. Playstation one game btw.

There is this old pc game I played when I was younger, it was made in either 1990s or EARLY 2000s, probably the former. It was a space themed game, specifically Asteroids/Roids themed. You first pick a ship, some I remember were :

red ship, a bit block shaped, really fast, called Intruder;

space ship version of a 1960/70s era car, had Chevy in its name;

your cliche space fighter, can't remember name;

You then select a region, then a sector, and warp in. You destroy asteroids and crystals for money, and can't leave the sector until you destroy all of them. You can spend money on upgrades, such as armor, engine, weapons, cooling systems, etc. Quite often, you are attacked by alien ship, who spawn just outside your screen's view; some will ram you, and others shoot at you. One kind looks like an amorphous blob of slime, one is metallic with a disk moving up and down a central rod, and one looks like a giant jellyfish.

Given my age, I never seemed to put much into a save, but looking back at my scarce memory of the game, it seems it is capable of going on for quite some time.

Ring a bell for anyone? Email me: Ecogamer@att.net
Thanks

There was a game for PC that I used to play, this is probably late 90's. I think it was point/clicky with minigames, featured cartoon characters (I remember a room with an old cranky crazy cat lady where the cat poop in the litter box was clickable)...one of the minigames was an actual 2D fighter... I think one of the keywords might have been 'Toon' or 'Toons'. There was a carnival area, a mad scientist, some weird dinosaur age thing...I really wish I could find it again.

Edit: I remembered it about ten seconds after posting- it was called 'Stay Tooned!' Now to find a working version somewhere...

Okay this isn't much to go with but it's been driving me insane. I had an old Dell's laptop that crashed and burned a while ago, but it had this game on there. It was like steam... But an older worse version that came already installed on the computer. Through that I got this game... though I'm sure it must be available somewhere else too? It was like... you were a mage (something magical?) and you lived in this town above these caves... You had to slowly work your way down through the caves to beat the evil boss... and you could take other quests and find treasure and buy armor and stuff. This game was just so addicting and I'd love to know what it was.

I'm looking for the name of an old PSX game. It's been so long that I don't remember much about it, but I do recall that you begin the game on a plane or airship of some sort piloting a mech, then you end up crashing or jumping off or something and fighting someone else with a mech in a forested area on the surface in a battle you can't actually lose. It was an RPG I'm pretty sure, and for some reason I think it may have had multiple characters and/or scenarios you could play. My memory is so foggy that I can't really remember anything else about it.

Try Alundra 2. c:
I was looking for a very similar game to that, and found my childhood right here.

Hello, i'm looking for and old computer game i used to play on windows 98.
You were a green dragon and you had to do all kind of things, you were collecting diamonds or crystals and you could go into a mine and find some. There were also these little men. One time you had to compete against them in some sort of watercar in the river. do you know which game i am talking about?
Thanks

 

[Imlookingforagame]

Looking for a PC game that was released around 2002. It was a kind of a sandbox game I think,didn't play it for too long,it was a 3rd person game. I remember that you start in a Mall and desktop shortcut of the game was Yellow star. If anyone could tell me name of this game that would be great. Thanks in advance!

I'm going to take a wild guess.. The game you're looking for is probably Fate.

Hello, this thread is literally my last resort XD.
There was a game i played on windows 98.
It is a top down game where you drive over lots of terrain shooting bases and other cars.
You can go to these little vehicle pads where you can fly a helicopter or drive other vehicles instead.
And you can collect lots of different weapons to use.
The only other thing i can remember about it is the intro.
The intro had a cinematic where a cool looking helicopter (those ones without the landing gear) flys out of this place and does some stuff.

Not much to go on but it was a great game so if anyone has any idea let me know thanks.

hi there!

first of all... i am from germany and i really hope you get the point of what i am typing here. i like this thread so much! i found lots of games so far! but there is one game i really miss!

you was flying in a little spaceship that looked like a single-coloured triangle. every fraction had its own colour. you were able to land on other planets to make its square in the middle to your colour. i think the target was to make all of the planets yours.

it's hard to desctibe! it was for windows 95 and it was on one of the wondows 95 cds i received with the system. hover and hellbender trial were also included to that cd.

i just made a picture of what i remeber in paint. well... i am not so professional in using paint...

It was something similar to that, the main difference is that everything was much darker in the one i played, think it was always night time, and the vehicles were more advanced.
It was a more serious game as well, looked very good for its time.
Also just thinking again, it wasn't flat land, even though it was a top down view, it had a 3D landscape.
Thanks though.

Just an extra update. Im fairly sure it came preloaded on a packard bell computer along with MDK.

Hey Guys!
I´d like to find an Game, me and my friends were playing.
I think it was on the AMiga back in 2000 til 2002
The game was a 3D Advenutre game (furthermore i think it was aventure) where u had to explore the world.
I cant remember the Details, but most of that i know is that it was gothic, scary atmosphere-game
You could pick two characters: a (maybe blond) little boy around 5 with an Candle and a little Girl (maybe the sister from the boy) around 5 years too.
There were alot of Levels, but the only i seem to remember is one Level, which has to do with Alien abduction/ Alien Ship
I really like to play that game again, because i was likely 5-7 years old when i played that game and also im pretty sure i couldnt finish the game (cause i was terrified)

Thanks for reading and I appreciate your help!

(Sorry for my bad English)
