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

[ingolifs]

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!

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.

Hey guys I am looking for this pretty old game for the computer I think it was from the 90's but idk if it was older or not i played it about 13+ years ago and I've never been able to find the name or find it since, i only played it with a buddy at the time.

The game was a 2d style game where you could play with others maybe only 1 other person? but basically it had people running around what looked like Indians chasing white guys and if the Indians caught the white guys they'd be eaten or taken to a spot where they were going to eat you. At least at the time i thought they were Indians but maybe it was some natives from some island?

Anyways the game was super simple looking but it was pretty fun and if your guy ran into one of these native guys that your friend was playing as you'd lose or something. And there were Doors in the little map you played in and you could walk into these doors and re appear else where on the screen to run away from the native guys. ( At least I think so ???)

And there were also some commands too like my friend would press F2 on the keyboard and he'd win instantly or eat me or what ever. I really can't think of any other way of how to describe this game it's really really vague and I cannot find it anywhere!

please find a name for me, thanks!

There are about 2 PC games I remember playing but don't know the name of.

The 1st 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.

2nd game I remember playing is a game where you have some kind of weird dragons or worms that are flying, you're in an aircraft and 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 two games are, please let me know right away! Thank you.

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.

Sounds kind of like Catherine

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 )

Sadly this isn't it, but I'm now realizing how many games share this mechanic. Thank you for replying!

Hello guys.
Looking for a game. I played the demo could be either Saturn or PS1 game. The demo consisted of 2 children ( you could choose if i remember) inside their house which actually got haunted. Demo was finishing with them entering a portal. If anyone knows that would be sweet.

Hi guys!

There's this game I remember playing on the PSX, where you controlled a group of vehicles (like tanks + vehicles resembling like goliaths from Starcraft2). There were 2 teams you could pick to play (blue or red, each had different vehicles) and the main mission was defeating the other team with your group of tanks (vehicles).

If I remember correctly, you had to control evey vehicle individually to move/attack or you could let them all follow the vehicle you were controlling. It also had a 3rd person vision for sure (and maybe a first person, but I don't remember that correctly).

I don't remember much else except from the fact that the vehicles were pretty large (larger than buildings and bridges seemed pretty small in resemblance).

Hopefully, someone remembers this awesome game. Thanks guys! ♥

One of the Rage Of Mages games? ( http://www.giantbomb.com/rage-of-mages/3030-19628/images/ )

Sorry, no, it wasnt - but by some cheer dumb luck, as I googled that game and switched over to images, the third picture on the list was "my" game; "Mageslayer". Thanks anyway, I honestly dont think I'd find it without your help





Btw, another game I've been wondering about, is a late 80s-early 90s game, 2d-scroll game (left-right and up-down) where you played as someone who ran around outside a castle, fighting monsters, ghosts etc. Whenever you died, you left a gravemarker that you saw next time you reached that same location. I dont remember much of it, I was only a few years old when I saw the game being played by my brother/tried it out myself. Graphically it looked kinda like old castlevania-games, if I recall correctly..
Anyone have any clue as to what game I'm talking about?

 

[sir_john]

please find this game i guess i played it between 2005-2008 and there was a guy with sword and armor and a long hair i guess and you could get potions or better swords it starts in a village and it gets attack by monsters and there was a girl too and in the loading map there was a big eye and that was the boss i remember a level in a dungeon or something like that i played it in pc it was a third person game it could be about vampires,there might be spells and an item page i cant remember for sure it could be older than 2005

[ryu626]

Yeah Doomgriever, Lode runner is the correct game but now I have trouble trying to install it and play it lol, because the max that it will go is on windows 98. I tried running it in the compatibility mode for that but it doesn't work

Ok this game has been in the back of my mind and on the tip of my tongue for years. Im pretty sure i was a wizard walking through a dungeon or castle with barely any lights except for what i think was lava. I remember there were bugs (or monsters) that i had to shoot with magic to kill them.It was on the PC 2D and a side scroller.I remember a boss that u had to jump up and go around a lot of levels to get to him/her . Im sorry for not knowing a lot about it but ive seen ppl give even less than that and still get the name of the game.
P.S im fairly sure it was around the early 2000s that i played it

 

[vksin123]

Hi, I played a game long time ago which had like two different characters , they were like little young cupid angels and demons having different levels and stages, some were based for the angel , so the stages were beautiful and white. and the little demons stages were more colorful and different. basically it could be categorized as a game for kids. you had to keep collecting coins. it was kind of a third person 3d running stage game.

I ll be really thankful if you can find the game!

 

[Krystal Anna]

ive been looking for an old game and not sure if anyone here would be able to help since i only remember brief parts
or things about it, basically you were a guy and at the start of the game you woke up living in an olden day village type hut thing with your mother and she sends you off to do afew things so you can progress to the next part of the game you had to feed some farm animals,like pigs then do afew other then you come back and for some reason your house is burning down and your mother dies but she leaves some note note for you which helps with what to do next

you then start on some mission going around killing creatures after you figure out how to move a rock out of the way of some cave, dont remember much after that but eventually near the end of the game you get to this dungeon type place with snakes everywhere, and eventually end up in a castle having to fight abunch of dragons with a sword to be rewarded a bunch of gold or a treasure cheast

then theres part 2 where you are on some sort of large pirate type looking ship with alot of other people and they all eventually get sea sick so you have to clean up a certain amount of that vomit really fast in some time frame so you can progress, then the ship eventually crash's and you wake up on an island alone with very little memory of the ship wreckage and you then wonder around figuring out what to do well killing theses blue Pill bug looking things which bleed then give you gold

Oh that really might be it, Let me check it out xD

Btw. I think Lode Runner Online is the version that works best on modern PCs ( http://www.daggert.net/Folio/Programming/Presage/LodeRunner/Loderunner1.htm ) (this is the creators website, released for free)


Or if you are a WIN7 64-bit user, you can use this installer, it works. ( http://www.fireyour.it/loderunner/ )

I'm looking for a game identical to this one : http://bit.ly/1kKOaab ( this is called Santa Rockstar Vs Aliens - a copy of the original one ) . The game came out about in the early of 2000's and it had Rocket Launchers, Flamethrowers, Miniguns and Bullet Time and other powerups too . It was avaiable for the PC and the MAC .

You had to fight different types of alien hordes surviving them and the time aswell .

I loved that game but I forgot it's name . Please help me !

Cheers !

Hi!

Okay so I'm looking for a pretty old game (I think), I played it when I was like 7-8, so about 10 years ago. I gonna try to explain it as best as I can. It's a PC game

I think you played as a man, running through stages (levels) and you kept running upwards, like in a maze, and it constantly were falling balls at you. The balls where coming from the top and the objective was to reach the top without being smashed by the balls coming towards you. I don't remember if there was a boss or something, but the balls were like the ones you use in the schoolgym lessons, the red ones, almost as big as basket balls. I've been thinking and googling but I can't fint the name to the game, is there anyone else who recognize this? It was FPSview I believe. If I would compare the graphics with another game it would be similar to mirrors egde, not at all the same game, but the feeling was about the same.

Hey guys!!!!!!!

What was the name of an early 90s PC game about fairies? I think it was a learning game for children but all I can remember is a part of the game where there are fairies in a boiling cauldron and you have to do a task to set them free. There may have been mushroom still houses but the fairies had somewhat pixelated graphics and big eyes. (I think!) I was playing it as a kid at the same time I was playing Goosebumps: Escape From Horrorland. Fingers crossed someone else remember this game too!!
