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

[HeartlessDT]

Alright, so every once in a while I go and google these old random NES and SNES games I rented as a kid. So here's a few that I wonder if they even existed or if my mind just made them up.

1. Seems to be an NES or SNES game where you get shrunk and you go down drains and stuff. Not really much more I can add, I seem to just have this one flash of a memory of it where you go down a bathtub drain or something. If my mind serves, it's a sidescroller.

2. This one is a much older memory. It seems to be an NES game where you're racing cars/trucks and you're jumping them over cracks, holes, and sometimes large ravines. The view is from above, and when it jumps (maybe on ramps? I seem to remember you could manually make it jump..) it gets a little bigger until it lands again.

3. The only memory I have of this game is extremely vague. It seems to be NES/SNES, and the only thing I can really remember is digging through drawers to find things. My kid mind seems to recall the drawers looked like they were filled with sand. Vague and not much to go on, I know.

I don't expect any of my old memories to be reunited with those games, but I've seen several people's questions get answered so I figured I'd sign up and ask just in case. Thanks in advance!

Edit; Forgot to post the third game.
Edit; Literally JUST found the second one... Bump 'n Jump!

Hey i am going ABSOLUTELY CRAZY trying to find this game, the more and more i remember it, the more i go crazy on trying to remember the name, the game was from the late 90's to very early 2000's. I am pretty sure it was on windows 95 and up or on the SEGA. What I can remember is that the player is a Prince who wears blue plate armour and you have to prevent a hostile country waking an ancient red dragon. The party's companions i can remember are a rouge who wears a turban, a cleric, an elf and a dwarf. I remember that you meet the elf in the first dungeon, which is a forest, She is in an old gypsy style carriage. The Games art style is the thing that frustrates me the most.
It is styled like centuria but also looks like RPG maker which extremely annoys me because if it was made with RPG maker i know i will never be able to play it again.
SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME

This night I had a dream. It was a dream about a game I used to play when I was a kid and I kind of forgot about it. Now when I am thinking about it I try to remember what the name was or even some elements. I can't get this game out of my head. I remember it was a demo of some sort since at one point i couldn't get further because I didn't have the complete version. I then promised myself I would once buy the full version, but I was just a little kid then.

I will give you every information I can remember:

- Timespan 1990-2000 I think. I was born in 1990 and I think I was about 6-10 years old (not 100% sure)
- It is a 2D platform game.
- It was in color, I can remember the green grass and the blue sky.
- The graphic quality was not as low as an early metroid game for instance, a bit more advanced, but still 2D and old.
- I have some doubts about this but I think there were puzzle elements too.
- The most significant thing I can remember is there was a fog I couldn't get past in one part of the map/game. I had to do stuff to remove it, to proceed to that part of the map/game.
- It was not a game of violence or shooting. I'm not sure if there were monsters and such.
- I reckon this was in the same period as I played games as Adventure Island II on gameboy.
- I am 70% sure the character you controlled was a boy (vaguely think he had black hair, this is just a guess really)
- I only owned a few gameboys, a playstation 1 and a pc at that time. I'm 100% sure it wasn't gameboy so it must have been playstation 1 or pc.
- Some vague memories of a wooden house with a witch of some kind.
- As I said it was a non-violent game but still there were "bad things" like the witch that would try to stand in your way (I'm like 70% sure about the witch or old woman but this idea just lingers in my head) A "child-friendly game as you can say.


I hope anyone can tell me what the title of this game is, since the thought of me not remembering it is making me crazy!

Thank you very much in advance for reading!

Greetings,

Mark.

I'm looking for an old PC game from around the 90's were you play as this man who's inflicted with a curse that causes him to randomly (well, not randomly, but triggered without warning) turn into either a little dinosaur-like creature who can run really fast, get into areas too small for a human, and cast magic (but otherwise virtually defenseless) OR a Giant red beaked berserker who can squish a mans head between his fingers like a grape but can't use either weapons or magic (with towns people being hostile towards him). When you're not one or the other, you're a typical PlayerCharacter with armor, weapons, spells, all that jazz. What I do know/remember is very little, but the first level takes place in a cave (you're an escaped prisoner, having used your curse to bypass the guards during a cut scene), were if you exit out the wrong way it plays a live-action scene were you get shot to death by arrows. On the second level, you visit some haunted museum, beat up on ghosts, hop on the back of a talking dragon and fly thehell out. (insert floppy disc 2) The 3rd level (and the farthest I ever got) was in a jungle filled with Cat People as well as giant 2-headed panthers (which your PC mistakenly assumes ARE the cat people; leading to an awkward greeting and a lowered health bar). Supposedly, this was the end of a series if games involving this character, so if the levels don't match up, that's probably why.

Graphic-wise; think Daggerfall.

Hello My first post ever, I noticed how good you guys were finding out names, and I desperately need help.

I remember this mid-late 90s "hack and slash" game, looked kinda like diablo/baldurs gate; dark alliance/torchlight in it's settings. The name could have had something along the lines of runes/thunders in it, I'm not sure, cant find anything useful with it on google.

It was a hack n' slash where you could control one of up to 4 characters, each with a different skillset (class), whereas one (the one I played alot) was a dwarven paladin (or the likes). I think I remember a female bowyer, too...
You could go online and play up to 4 man co-op (I assume you could LAN it too, I dont know). I think you could upgrade skills with skillpoints, but not change equipment.

If it's of any help, the picture for the game featured the pool of champions (where that dwarf was most visible) on - I think - red background.
It was the most wonderful game ever, but I cant find it.

Edit - After alot of thinking, I believe the name is more along the lines of "battle mages", "rune mages" or something along the lines. Google comes up empty though.

 

[Arka]

Ive got one. All i can remember is that you could shoot 2 guns in different directions, maybe controlled by each analog stick, and the direction you were firing was showed with little coloured bubble type things (i think this is relevant cos it was a rubbish game besides for this "new" shooting style). Im sure it was zombies or fantasy-esque things you were shooting. Either ps1 or ps2, was defo 2 player cos i mind spending a fair while playing it with mates. i also remember a graveyard train level thing....maybe. Very vague description I know but any help would be mucho appreciated, cheers!

;twin calibre!

 

[someoneelsee]

I'm looking for a game, late 90's to early 2000's I'd say.

Played it on a PC.

I only have vague memories and flashes of this one. It was sort of an adventure/sci-fi game. It was a 3rd person game.

One thing I can remember was that you could wield pretty cool weapons, such as a big wooden bat-like pole (maybe it was a sledge), and the strongest memory I have was that there was an event where you would fight a bear near a waterfall (although I could be mistaken about the waterfall but there was a lot of nature around).

But I can also remember guns, such as laser guns. This was such a long time ago and i was probably around 10 back then. Feelin' pretty nostalgic right now, used to play it at my friend's house, thought it was a cool game for its time back then.

Please help with this one!

There are about 3 PC games I remember playing but don't know the name of.


The 1st game is a game where you play as this bald looking midget dude, you are in a graveyard and you go around ringing doorbells or knocking on the doors of people's houses. The game is sort of 3D looking. First played around 1999 or early 2000. This was a PC Game that was on a CD along with a bunch of other PC Games.

The second game is racing themed (I think) or action. I remember a cutscene where this girl with big boobs got shot by someone in one of her boobs. I think it was in the early 2000s, like around 2000 when I first played it. This game was definitely 3D, Had PS1-Like graphics but was on the PC.

Third game I remember playing is a game where you have some kind of weird dragons or worms that are flying, you have to shoot them down piece by piece until they die, they look like little balls connected to each other, like a long rope flying around, but in the shape of balls.The game is also sort of 3D. First played it around 1999-2000. This game was on PC.

If anyone knows what these three games are, please let me know right away! Thank you.

Someone please tell me!

EDIT: Found the first one, it was called "Spooky Castle". Now all I need is for you guys to tell me what the other 2 games are!

Hey! I am going crazy trying to remember this game I played 8-9 years ago.

It was an online PC P2P game. It was pretty brightly colored and cartoony. The game was to have your avatar, this little tank, battle other little tanks. You both start on either ends of a long field and you took turns shooting at each other. It was pretty comparable to angry birds, since you had to be good a figuring out angles, wind speeds, and launch force to hit your target. You could also hit the ground around your enemy and have them fall through the hole in the ground and lose.

After you win, you get coins or something to buy props or whatever for your cartoony tank-thing.

The game is 2 words. Thanks for your help!

Thinking of Gunbound? (loved that game ) ( http://www.giantbomb.com/gunbound/3030-15697/images/ )

 

[Demuschev]

I remember watching my brother play two games that have been bugging me and the information I have is very vague.
The first game was on the Sega Genesis and all I remember was a scene where the character, which looked like a scarecrow wearing all black, walked across a room of bones and skulls

The second game was on the PS2 or the Playstation and it started out with your character in a room slowly dying from something (The cold maybe? He wasn't wearing much) and you had to escape the room somehow. Mind you I was so young at the time that I didn't know how to equip a gun in Resident Evil 2. I appreciate any help thanks much!

 

[caunwaithon]

This has been driving me crazy, so I appreciate your help!

I remember playing this game a long time ago, and can almost remember the name... I think.

Description:
It's a 2D game from an aerial perspective. You play as a dog who is presented with different scenarios in a square-ish arena. In each level I think basically all you do is move stone blocks - but they are limited to exactly what you need to win the level. Some to cross water, things like that. I think you need to obtain a key in the level to move on to the next. But in order to do so, you must first defeat spiders or something if I remember right. With the stones, you can trap them and squash them. The spiders follow edges, so you have to sort of trap them and kill them.

Game title:
I'm pretty sure it was the name of the dog... and I think it starts with an "F" and contains letters such as "R", "E" and "Z". I could be mistaken on some of those... but I'm pretty sure some are in the title.

Anyone know what I'm talking about?

Anyone able to help me on this one? It's possible it was an online game.

Any help with this would be much appreciated. So there's a game I'm trying to remember the name of, I saw a video of it a while back. It has HD graphics so it's recent, maybe only a few years old. It's very colorful and possibly has a Japanese art style, almost like a cartoony anime. I remember a skinny guy climbing up a long tower made of blocks. It was like a vertical obstacle course, with poles and stuff to grab onto. He was panting and sweating, I think he may have been in an exercise outfit with a headband and he could have had glasses. There was a macho muscle-y guy who would yell out encouragement I think, or at least he was overseeing the skinnier guy. I vaguely remember there being capes and maybe Mexican wrestler masks? I know it sounds very weird, I think it's a Japanese game. It had a workout theme and I believe it was timed. So, if anyone can help me on this one I would be very grateful! Thanks.

Yeah, I know of that game and they definitely share similarities, but this game is a lot more cartoonish and random.

Ok I know this probably is way off, but this reminded me of the "Man Festival" part of Shadow Hearts 2... They climb a vertical tower, and there's a guy with a mask. (Also Japanese game / style..) ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9f3qUgxoTX4&t=33m35s )

Sounds like a remake of Scorched earth. Don't know if that helps.


Here's mine:

I remember playing this futuristic RTS back in 2000, though it may have been a couple of years old by that point. It wasn't that well known a game - I don't remember it being reviewed in game magazines at the time.

There were two factions, both of them I believe were aliens of some description. I remember the guy in the pre-mission debrief cinematics had a misplaced polygon in his hip that made him look like he had a giant needle erection.

The units were modular. You had a chassis with several slots which you could fill up with weapons, cloaking, detection and armour. The only specific weapons I remember was a plasma mortar that did a lot of damage, and a flame-ball thrower that was visually impressive but did less damage. You could also choose the method of locomotion. One faction had buggy wheels, tank treads and super tank treads, while the other had spider legs and (rather unbalanced-ly) jets that enabled flight. Hover vehicles were available to both factions. Terrain was an important part of it, because rough terrain and unit wreckage were impassible to certain types of vehicle, and required things like super tank treads or spider legs to traverse.

That's all i remember of it. I've looked through the list of RTS games on wikipedia and couldn't find it.
