I have one, I used to play it all the time as a child. All I can remember about it is that it was on the PC, It might have been a puzzle game (maybe), it had a top-down isometric viewpoint, and it was about a large land dinosaur, a flying dinosaur, and a monkey creature. If you can find it, you're winner. Also thank you.

Hi,

First:

I'm looking for an old arcade game. I remember playing it in the early to mid 90's.
It was a side scroller where character walks and can jump and hit boxes with his head for bonuses (It is not Mario please calm).
He could fight the enemies by shooting them and trapping them in bubbles. You have to jump on the bubbles to finish them or to reach higher places in the level.
I remember that in the very first level you had to trap several enemies and jump on the bubbles they are in, in order to climb kind of pyramid with boxes in order to reach some reward on top.

Second:

It's a PS1 game I believe it was on a disk with 5 or 7 games. I'm pretty sure it was full game but not 100% sure. I played this one somewhere in early 2000 It's like a first person shooter but I think you can only turn left and right and you can't look up. Most of the levels were maze like I believe. One thing I remember very well is the radar to detect enemies. You start with one that only detects what's in front of you later you get upgrade to detect what's behind as well and the last is full 360 degree detection. There where levels that you had to find objects like bombs or something and bring them to command room within time limit.

Thanks.
2.- It should be

Codename: Tenka (1997) (aka Lifeforce: Tenka)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvUCxNElt_U

I got the single version and also a disk called 6 in 1 which comes also with DOOM, Duke Nukem, Hexen etc. Also in the level 5 or so, you have to collect the bombs and bring them to the command room and the radar levels up once you collect enough energy packs or something like that. But you can look (and shoot) up and down too, is a bloody pain because the controls but you can in principle.
Thanks. Pretty sure that's the one.
Now only the arcade game remains to identified and my childhood memories will be complete :)

I can recall two games in particular that I played when I was 3 or 4 that are just driving me crazy- I found a third one that was driving me crazy just a little while ago.

The first one is rather girly, if I remember correctly. In it, you are in control of a pet store. I think it must have come out in the 80's or 90's- it had 2D graphics. The map was pretty much the pet store. There was a bathtub to one side if I think hard about it. I can't remember much but one thing that you could do was feed animals. I particularly remember the birds and that there were other animals.

With the birds I think you could choose one out of a selection or something like that and then you could feed them seeds. When you dragged the sunflower seeds to them they kind of stopped there on the screen and then the birds ate them in individual bites or something of that nature... Sorry its so vague, but its what I remember.

The second one was set in a castle. it had the same 2D graphics as the previous game and also came on a CD, so it must have been old as well. I remember that there was a dining table in which you could occasionally find a key, or sometimes I think you had to go down to the dungeons. It was point and click, from what I remember. If you went to the dungeons, there was some rattling chains and then a voice said 'Stowaway!'. There was also a round table room where a voice said 'the round table!'. If I remember correctly there was also a cannon mini-game in it at some point.

Hiya,
Looking for a strategy game from the 90's I believe, really fuzzy on the details but I remember one faction had a tank that could deploy into a turret (not c&c).
Im not sure but I think there may have been 3 factions?

This makes me think its KKND, but ive had a look at the screenshots and it doesnt look right, also I cant see a transforming tank/turret listed as a unit for these.

Any help please?

thx,

Hi again please help me with this :0
I played this game like 8-9 years ago so there's not much detail
old pc game, wild west themed
you play a girl with twin braids and a cowboy hat
there's and old burnt down bus which you can enter
an underground room with pigs playing some card game in it (i'm guessing it was poker)
you can get the pigs angry and they start throwing bottles and shoes at you
and that's pretty much it, I would be so grateful if you could help me find it because I've been looking for it for a long time now ;3;;))/

Could it have been Wild Arms 3, perhaps? I don't remember the pigs or the bus, but the ginger braids and cowboy hat definitely match the description.

Hello, Theres one game I cant remember for the life of me. It was a console game (playstation or xbox) It was a rpg type game, Swords and magic, I remember it had a pretty unique combat system for its time. I remember you were a young kid and your father was a famous mercenary or knight that went missing,I remember the first mission you go out and you're a new recruit and you have to escort the caravan to another kingdom that live in a forest or tree. Im pretty sure if you lost a fight you lost the game... The whole point of the game was to do random bountys and quests and towards the end get all the kindgoms to help each other or choose to destroy some of them. I remember the main town being invaded on the bridge entrance, And I remember the chubby little red headed guy is one of your companions and we have to fight his father (who has a red mohawk) outside of the (dwarf?) kingdom nearing the end. I remember at the end the girl that was with you throughout the game turns out to be cursed and you have to choose to kill her or sacrifice the kingdoms I think? And thats part of the reason your dad and your friends father were missing.. Im sorry if this has been horribly put together but Ive been trying to figure this out of a long time and any help would be appreciated! EDIT: Whatever the curse was effected all the kingdoms and your father and the red heads were trying to hide it and protect everyone.I thing the girl was the princess and you were trying to find her in the begining maybe. god this is bugging me RE-EDIT: I believe the combat was once you got into a encounter your companions would form up depending on the tactic you chose before hand, It wasnt turn based. Im also pretty sure you could beat people around town (one I remember specifically was next door to the inn there were two knights in a training room type place) they would sometimes be available to put in your party. Any help would be greatly appreciated, It was maybe 7 or so years ago and Im pretty desperate and if you think you could help me out I could even tell some other little random details I remember here and there..
I actually dont remember what console. Ive spent some much time looking for this game, Went through any rpg list (Dont see why it wouldnt be classified as a rpg) I could find between 2003-2008. I dont see why I couldnt find it, It was overall a amazing game. 3d the combat was in encounters but it wasnt turn based. Great story with the player getting to make decisions that alter the game. Im begging and praying someone remembers this game.
Found it, A game called Radiata Stories. Thanks anyways

There's an NES game I played, I think with a fan translation. It was a faux 3D shooter with a scrolling block-based parallax ground like World Runner, but you flew in a spaceship. It did some cool stuff, like an alien world with a ceiling (it was a big city under a shell) and a space level that transitioned to a spaceship interior. There were cut-scenes and even dialog that would interrupt gameplay, and a whole plot about an alien computer trying to enslave Earth. At one point you have to sacrifice your ship's android, who I think was named Omega. Your ship was armed with more or less useless machine guns, and homing missiles which I think slowly regenerated.

In the years since I first played it I have never seen it again, which is bugging me even now because I made it to the last level but never ever finished.

It wasn't Starcraft, was it? That has the Siege Tank, a heavy armor unit that unpacks into artillery, and three factions, the Zerg, Protoss, and Terrans (owners of said tank).

Ok people, I really need some help here.
I remember playing a skating game, where I think you could only use rollerblades (I'm not sure about this).
It was either win 1995/1998/me/ or 2000, long long ago.
I also remember that I was playing a guy with a pink or light purple shirt, either you could chage his clothes or the complete guy!
There were different scenes you could drive thru, I unfortunately just remember racing through a parc and I was fucking fast bc there were so many glitches in it and you could basically drive through every corner-hedge.
there was like a loong rectangle part with high bushes around it and something high rectangle in the middle, so you either had to go around it on the left or right side (one of them was shorter in my opinin..). and I think after that came a little bridge over a river and then you turned right and the round was over. (I could really be wrong here!)
oh and you could also change the perspective, i think you had first, second and third person view.
this has been bugging me for so long.. please release me from my desperation!

*If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated*
Hey guys, I also have one of these "lost" games that I have been looking for all my life. I played it about 6 years ago, and it was a game from a website; I don't think there was a disk or download of the game. It was free and had to do with turn based strategy. I remember the first level you were this one human with I believe this hammer. There are always 2 or 3 other factions - the humans (which could be friends or enemies), the spiders, and i believe one other group that I don't remember, possibly a faction of scorpions. You can always loot and pick up other people's weapons when their dead, and there are like action points (you can only do so many moves in a turn). Anyway, all three factions fight each other so it's not an everyone vs. you situation, and each side has a turn where they move and attack. The camera was like a bird's eye view and the movement was similar to hexes. I also remember that in some missions you would fight with some human teammates for various reasons (I actually remember one of these is because you a greatly outnumbered with the spiders and you agree to fight together to kill the spiders and then attack each other), but if you were to attack your teammates (which you can do), they turn to enemies and would attack you. I don't remember much more, but the items had something special, like they might be able to craft or something. However, there is no hero upgrades and for the most part it's a role playing game. I remember getting frustrated a lot because it would get hard, so I believe the hitting has to do with luck or chance, meaning you can miss hits and deal no damage.
Please help me find this game, if you do I would be very grateful. As I said, it was a free game off of some website, so it probably won't be any one with a disk.
Thank you so much.

Alright guys and gals, I got a three part challenge for ya, these havent been bugging me nearly as much as the game I had answered earlier, but I wouldent mind finding out what games they are and/or see if anyone else remembers them. here we go!

1~ Played a demo way back when of a game that was a first person shooter around the time post-doom, duke nukem. All the enemys were egyptian themed, low class enemies were things like Scarab's and Jackels, while other more moderate classed monsters were Anubis etc. Basic weapon was a machete which I believe you could use to cut vines to progress through certain ares, there was also a Colt Revolver for the basic pistol. Plenty of items to pick up too much like doom/duke nukem (vials for health, etc)

2~ Another demo I remember playing but never got very far in it. the game played ALOT like Cyan's "Myst" series in that you clicked arrows to move forward back, left and right from a first person perspective. The location was an Archaelogical dig, the back story being you fell into a hole into the chambers below the dig site. anyway, game was heavily puzzel based, the first puzzel you run into was a door way, when you attempt to go through a stone block slams down infront of you, and to disable the trap, there was a dial on the stone wall next to the "door" that depicted a sun and moon that you had to solve so you could pass through, there were a few of these "doors" with the same puzzel. The part that I got stuck at was there was another stone door that would only open if you solved a Musical Puzzel, the solution to the puzzel was elsewhere and you'd have to come back and arrange the notes on a staff, matching the sound you hear from the "answer" then press a button to see if the door opened, fail 3 times and the solution would reset and you'd have to start over. was infuriating but curious as to what the game was anyway.

3~ An Old side scroller platformer game with old, colorful VGA graphics. you played a little space man, jumping around the levels, and shooting laser beams at the enemies. one thing that stood out to me was all the music was the standard sample music that came with all the Tandy 2000 Computers of that day (aka, old as sin). the other thing I remember is that the boss you run into each time, couldent be killed, just had to be avoided, some large green monster that just ran back and forth with out any more complexity then that.

Alright, lets see if the community can get all three, and GO!
