Hi geeks :)

two games i cant remember the name of:

1). Played on PC between 1993-1995. The main character was a little brown (maybe chocolate) guy in a blue jacket with big eyes. When you pressed space his legs would extend so you got taller. One of the bosses was a car. One of the levels was made of playing cards. The game was 2D - just like early mario games.

2) Playes on PC between 1993-1995. The main character was a man with astronaut like clothes with a bowl like thing on his head. I remember that he could shoot lightning. One of the levels where at a castle and you had to find orbs. I remember wizards and wolves being some of the enemies.

Thanks in advance from Denmark!

There is a game I cannot remember but it has been driving me crazy. From what I remember is you have the option to play as a girl with black magic abilities or white magic abilities and after an initial dream sequence you "wake up" and have to fight your way through levels. I think you get 2-4 abilities to fight with at first and you need to collect objects to gain more abilities. I know, vague. But If I had pictures to show Id be able to show it better.

I believe it was for playstation. Last I played it was around 2003/4

Hi, I remember about 5-10 years ago playing a game where you are a blue/red (you got to choose I think) blob-like thing with a headband on where you basically just shoot things. You start off outside and it is raining then you go inside and start shooting enemies I think. The 2nd level involved shooting care bear sort things I think, in a happy rainbow sort of setting. I played it on PC. That's pretty much all I can remember but if anyone can help me out here that would be awesome because this is really annoying me.

Also it was side scrolling. Forgot to mention that.

This is what the main character looks slightly like from what I can recall.
Blip and Blop: Balls of Steel

PC GAME.
Well, i played this game 6 or 7 years ago, maybe much more.
If i remember well, i played the trial version. The game was about a knight, or a king. You travelled through the map, fighting with random npç's placed there. The fighting style was a simple image, where it was your character icon and 3 more( the soldiers, priest, mage, you had to recruit)on top, and on the bottom the enemy characters. If one of the characters takes damage, the icon becomes a little red. If he takes more damage, more red, and finally dies. I think when one of the characters dies, they are marked with an X or the icon fades.The travelling is almost the same as the travelling in Heroes of might and magic, but the terrain is not filled with so many things. Ah, yea, one more thing, after some battles, and some experience gained, you could evolve your soldiers in much strongest characters: For example a solder becomes a berserk, than a knight.A priest becomes a monk, stuff like that. Per total, the game seemed to be 2D and it had a trial time you could play before buying the game.

Ok, so obviously don't remember the name of the game but after downloading and playing warcraft 2 after like 12 years of not playing it, it brought back good memories. So the game i'm looking for was basically the same layout as Warcraft 2 where you had to build your own "city". The difference was that it was robots, like the almost look like transformers lol. The game was in 2D like Warcraft 2. Hope someone knows what I'm talking about.

Could be Disciples: Sacred Lands or one of its sequels.

Metal Fatigue? Or possibly Total Annihilation. Could be many things really but those would be my first 2 guesses.

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?

So, this was on the PC I'm sure. I played it when I was around 7 or 8 I think. It's a side-scrolling game where you pilot this space ship and you have weapons that upgrade every level. One set of weapons I remember is where you have this trio of balls circling around your ship and you're blasting away at everything. IIRC, you're shooting at rocks and (maybe?) enemies, but the end of each stage you would fight a boss. I remember vaguely that the final boss was some robot-looking thing off to the right edge of the screen. You're flying through space, and the graphics were pretty decent from what I remember. Was *not* top-down.

Hi,

I have been trying to remember the name of a computer game I played all the time when I was younger. Probably at least 10 years ago...

It was a racing game that took place in the stone age or something. You could choose between several different "pairs" of characters, where one of them drove the vehicle, and the other one had an attack move. It contained several levels. I remember that one of the races was in a jungle and one of the other races was in some kind of temple or ruin, surrounded by lava.

I think one of the pairs consisted of a guy named either Cliff or Clint and his girlfriend, a blonde. Another pair of characters was two women, I remember one of them was wearing a green dress, and I think their attack move was screaming at the opponents.

A very children friendly racing game. It would be awesome to get to play it again even though my hope is not high, but at least I would like to know the name of the game... If anyone has information, please give me a hand :)

Thanks!

Alright this has been driving me crazy for many years.

2D space game where you control one ship and a home planet. You go to other places to mine and upgrade your ship, think you had to buy fuel as well, can eventually control multiple planets, and also fight a few other empires. I remember being able to use nuclear weapons and chemical/biological weapons on planets. Balance between saving your planets and killing the enemies. Could be from 1995-200, I suspect late 90s at the latest. Didn't use DOS, remember using it on a windows UI.

UI was I think very similar to http://img2.brothergames.com/screenshots/softimage/w/world_supremacy-289227-1253154806.jpeg (Space Empires 3), but not it.

Maybe one of you could help me out, would be eternally grateful.
Anyone have any info?

Someone already helped me with the awesome game brave fencer musashi, THANKS A LOT!... now I need to know the name of a game for PC that I used to play when I was a little kid, many years ago, it was a game similar to the first mario, with pixels and everything, the boy landed on an alien planet in his spaceship, he had a helmet and I remember he had a gun, you begin the game looking from the sky and you could move the boy to different levels or lands and when selected you enered that level... sorry for my prro english and lack of info but will be very happy to know the name of this one :)
Oh yeah another... this one was for playstation 1, I only played the demo in the demo cd of the playstation 1, it was the creepiest game I have ever play, it was kind of a middle age game, you beggin inside of a dungeon or castle, all its kind of pretty dark and scary as hell, you have a crossbow as a weapon and some potions, when you walk through the doungeons I remember fighting against a slug or just a really sticky thing in the floor with pikes, then you go to a really dark part of the castle with some huge bats hanging from the wall above a cementery...
THANK you very MUCH for your attention and hope you can help me :)

This one has been hunting me for years, there was an old game that I use to play a lot back in the end of the 90's, it was a third person shooter, the environment was kind of futuristic and in spaceships and stations, the main character was a guy is a red battle armor, the enemies where humans, robot and turrets, you had several weapons, like regular machine guns, laser weapons, microwave cannons and such... I'm under the idea that the name had either the word "Loose" or "Cannon" but I'm not totally sure..

Any ideas, I would love to play this again some time
Any ideas?
Sounds like Crusader: No Remorse. I spent SO much time playing that game, easily one of the best game from the 90's.

I remember there was this game for the PC
I think there was a 1 and 2 and I can't remember much but
-at the start of one of them you where on a ship going to an island and you had to clean up all the vomit
-I think you had to kill these purple bug creatures
-there where trees that you could collect nuts from
-there was a broken bridge with an able tree on the other side
-I was stuck at a part whets you talked to some lady in a house and then you had a time limit to destroy all Thea camera/microphone things in the area before these dragon creatures killed you
-I think you could get strength potions and things
-at one part in a pub a guy presses a button under the counter and all these guards attack you
