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

[Karunamon]

The game I am trying to remember was from around 15 yrs.ago. It had a large game board and you could change the spaces to square, diamond, or hexagon shaped. You got colors to play and the squares around you would change to that color if they were not blocked and then the opponent went next with every color except the one you just played. The winner was the one who played the most spaces. Does anyone remember it or know of another game like it? I tried Reversi. It is similar but not quite the same.Thanks!

That sounds like Hexxagon - try hexxagon.com

Okay, so i remember playing this game around the year 2000 (maybe give or take a couple of years). It was a point and click adventure game, and all i remember was a princess and the pea reference, where the main character (or a woman that wasn't the main character, i forget) was laid on like 10 mattresses, but she could still feel the pee. Been driving me insane trying to remember the name D:
Thanks!

Hey guys! I'm trying to remember the name of an old PC game i played with no luck. I remember the main character is a girl, setting is sci-fi or cyberpunk, she can do backflips, uses 2 guns and kills some kind of aliens, perspective is isometric and i think it's from the 90s. It's not Metroid. Girl kinda looks like the main character from the Underworld series. Can anyone help?

I remember a puzzle in "Simon the Sorcerer 2" (1995) where you had to put a pea under a mattress to see
the princess's spectacular behind... erm... to receive an item, that is.

You might refer to "Meat Puppet" (1997).

Funny, didn't think anyone remembered that game, hehe.

I couldn't find a "thread search" tool; is there one? I'm guessing someone has asked about this somewhere in the preceding nigh-600 pages.

The game I'm trying to locate originated somewhere around the 1985-1987 range. It was PC, I but I can't swear to DOS to Commodore 64. It involved customizing monsters and then pitting them against one another in various settings. You started with a set number of points to buy a base creature and then upgrades for that creature. Winning a battle would provide points for new upgrades. I remember one of the base creatures was a "homunculoid" that looked essentially human. I recall some significant game balance problems.

The graphics were kinda blocky. The player controlled battles from a sort of 3/4 overhead view. I don't think there was true 3d, but I seem to remember objects and maybe hazards on the terrain. I want to say the battles took place in wasteland, wilderness, or city, but I'm not sure.

I wanted to put the game at 1986, because I remember my friend bought it and The Movie Monster Game (precursor to War of the Monsters, etc., a 1986 release) on the same evening.

Thanks in advance, folks! This one's been bothering me for years.

Hello everyone,

There is a game I played in the 90s on my PC, genre is a puzzle, 3D

The game board consisted of a bottom layer which contains constant block colors and the upper layer which contains blocks you can move around
the goal is to match the top layer to the bottom layer by color by moving the blocks around.
But it's not that easy, there are levels where there is goo on the blocks, and sometimes the blocks become zebra striped so you can't see the color and stuff like that.
The characters in the game are aliens and they are the one that put goo on your blocks, rearrange them and stuff.

I also remember that at the last stage there is a fat king which is the ruler of the world and final boss.

I found it! its was FlipOut!

I'm looking for a game with turn based fighting like final fantasy. You took over towns with armies of five or six creatures who could be ghosts, knights, skeletons and a bunch of other things. If you used the dark creatures you would receive bad karma. It was a cartoonish looking game from the 90's. I think is was either a pc or a nes game because we didn't have anything else. I'm leaning toward nes but I've looked over all the nes games I could find but never saw anything like it.

 

[Clarkonrk]

This is killing me!... I don't know if any one else would remember playing this...
Basically the little people you had to save would only walk back and forth on your screen, as time passed the room they were in started to fill up with water. These little people could not swim, and as the room slowly filled with water you had tetris like pieces falling from above them and you could put a staircase together for them to escape drowning thorugh a door that was tipically above them? I think the tittle screen had a pyramid? I am not entirely sure but I loved the game and now cannot remember the name ? it was for PC I think

I believe this was called lemmings. It may have been a later version of the one I used to play but this should get you started. And yes it was an awesome game.

I have been trying to find these two games for a long time now I played them when I was little so some time in the late 90s the first one was on a floppy disc it had to do with space you went from one location to another in space fighting other ships and I think your best weapon was like a nuke or something that could cause a super nova or something like that and you would die from that also I think there was a self destruct line you could use how you played the game was by typing commands of what you wanted to do like typing fire nova or nude and the coordinates

what I can remember of the second game is it was a side scroller where you played a dragon and you fought skulls that would swear at you and say things like I know where you live also I think it was about your parents had been taken and you were trying to get them back and I think you had to jump all over the place to find keys to finish the levels how you fought the skulls was you jumped on them or shot fire at them I played it on a windows pc

Please help

The first one may be ega trek.

I posted on this site trice but no one found out the game name for me, So I am hoping new faces have come who have seen this game before, So here is goes:

The game is old 95' or 98 could be older, It was part of a Demo disc I remembered as I only had a few levels, Maybe Magic the card game was on it I think!

So the AI and yourself are Aliens, no humans. THe resource type is like in a pond and flower type thing grows.

One the aliens I recall are like a squarish thing with a saw blade on it's head.

Anyone?

Hi Michael,

The game you are after is called WarBreeds, I played it a lot when younger.

I'm thinking this is Mail Order Monsters. I often wish someone would modernize it and republish it.

Hi Guys!

I was looking for a game which must be released about 1999-2008, it was about a crew of 3-4 Persons. Evers member had other abilitys. The game was 3D and tooked place in the underground, a pretty dark setting. There were mutants, poison and steam. One of the crew was a robot or a huge guy in metal armor. He was the only one who was immun against poison or acid. The view of the Camera was over the shoulders, you hat to shoot mutants, open or hack doors etc. Can you help me?

PS: I am from Europe so sorry for my mistakes in spelling

Thank you!

Take a look at the "Heroes of Might and Magic" series. Maybe the first or second game.
I remember the morale of your humanoid troops going down if you mixed them with undead creatures.

No problem, man. IMO, pointing out typos is lame anyways.

Check out "Project Eden" (2001).
