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

[XxBrentos9xX]

I have been trying to find this game for more years than I care to admit, since I played it when I was very young and very vaguely remember it (I have tracked down almost every other game I have wanted due to research, this one does not exist).

Just for a teeny bit of backstory, I remember playing this on my old Gateway PC around the time I was playing Motocross Madness, Uniracers, and something like RC Cars/ReVolt (don't remember exactly). I had thought maybe this ring based puzzle game was from a cereal box, or from a flash website, but our internet was on a 26.4k connection and I doubt I did that as a kid? but I?m at a loss. Any help is appreciated.

Platform(s): PC

Genre: Puzzle

Estimated year of release: 1990?s

Graphics/art style: Top-down puzzle game with multicolored rings

Notable gameplay mechanics: I believe the background is sort of brownish, and you have specific grids for the colored rings to follow. I think it started off basic, such as giving you one color at first, and you either have a set number of moves with which to arrange the rings in a certain way or cause them to line up and disappear...

Edit: The closest thing I have ever been able to find is this app game on Google Play. I have even tried emailing the creator to see if they were inspired by any other games like it. Thank you all.

I am trying to remember a game, for windows 95 I believe, maybe 98. It was a first person Sci-Fi time travle-ish game in which the beginning cut-scene tells about a city that is floating in the sky. Then you are in your apartment in this city, you can go in your living room and change the walls to different types of scenery, from space, to mountains, etc. Then you go outside your apartment and something happens and the city explodes. Another part of the game is on a different planet, maybe mars, you dock your ship and then get out and are walking down a corridor and a robot walks past you down the hall. You follow him to find that he is in a control room typing away on on computer. If you run across the robots path at any time he kills you. Yet, another part of the game involves trying to stop the same robot from assassinating a scientist at a convention. You are in the rafters above the stage and you have to shoot the robot before he kills the scientist.

A few more details that may help. While the game was first person, you could only make one move at a time. Step forward, step back, turn left or right.

Also, if you died the game would show a drawn image of how you died in an orange or red comic book style picture. Some of the ways you could die was the robot shooting you through the stomach, having your skin melted by radiation.

I want to say the game was called "something" - man. Like jump man or something to that effect, but maybe not.

If anyone could help that would be great because I never finished the game and I want to know how it ends.

hello guys, im trying to remember a game that i was playing long time ago... around the 2000's.
in this game you are a blue aircraft looks like a hellcat cant remember if this is the exact plane but all i remember is that it had 5 levels and on the beginning of each level you had to take off from your ship and land in the end of it by flying through couple of "guiding" circles that should help you to land successfully. i remember the pilot was talking and even swearing sometimes . at the end of every level u had a boss that you should kill, you could kill other planes and anti air to get health and new weapons for your plane. enemies are tagged with a red box. i remember that in the first level you had that blue plane that i was talking about but each level you had different plane i guess... ohh and the first level u flew above an ocean i believe.
this game was 3D and u could fly only with 3rd person view, i also remember some keys:

a= increase your plane flight speed
z= decrease your plane flight speed
shift = fire some missiles that has black smoke
arrow keys = fly to different directions
space = to fire (im not sure)

this is all what i remember guys please help me to find it thanks

guys maybe some help pls? ^^

Have you had a look at "Heroes of the Pacific" (2005) yet?

It's most likely a game out of the "Journeyman Project" series, probably the first one.

I live in Scotland, and when I was a kid we had some real obscure educational games on the school computers.
One in particular I remember REALLY liking was some sort of fantasy adventure. You played a woman, some sort of warrior, who had to go and kill a dragon. You were given an image that acted as the level, like a huge image of a castle, and you needed to find one item on every screen to progress.
Once you had the item you used it later in the game, and you went through every level getting one item at a time until the halfway point, when you got to use the items. Like you find a candle, and then you go into a dark maze. Or when you find the dragon, you already have a book that acts as a human-dragon translation guide, so you can talk to it.
Of course, being that it was a kid's game, in the end the dragon and the warrior girl become friends and the whole kingdom celebrates. That's all I remember, but for whatever reason I also remember REALLY loving it as a kid. I have no idea what the hell it was, who made it, when it came out, or anything like that. I don't even remember all of the puzzles. I was very young when I played it, about 4 years old maybe.
All I can offer is what I've already said. Warrior girl, PC game, dragon, collecting an item every level, kid's game. Anyone got any idea?

 

[Zaltys]

Oh great. All this talk of old games reminded me of one.

Windows or possibly MS-DOS. Played it at least eight years ago, and it might've been old at that point. Was obscure even back in the day, don't remember anyone talking about it.

First- or third-person scifi adventure, possibly with some puzzle and action adventure elements. You were on a... circular space station (or ship?), near some alien planet. The game started with some kind of an accident (crashed spacecraft?), and you were ordered to visit the medical. I think the protagonist was a security officer, or something similar. There were a lot of NPCs, all with autonomous schedules. Which often made it difficult to find the characters you're looking for, since they went around the ship performing various tasks.

There were multiple disasters happening at once, and it was up to you to stop it. The station would explode (sabotage?), crash into the sun, etc. The difficulty level felt harsh: you'd often die without having any idea of what happened.

Spoiler

Eventually you find out that your character is actually some kind of alien replica, and the human you're masquering as actually died at the beginning of the game. The aliens themselves had some trouble communicating, they where... sentient gas or omething equally unusual.

EDIT: Never mind, found it. Sentient (1997). That took some intense Googling...

Hey guys, there's a game I've been trying to figure out for years now.

It was a fixed-perspective (I want to say isometric?) hack-and-slash dungeon-crawler game. I had the demo when I was a kid (so probably late 90s, maybe early 00s), and I remember running into a big room with huge amounts of spiders and other baddies, and I distinctly remember the character I picked saying, in a sing-song voice, "Perfectionnnnn, is hereeeee". That one quote has haunted me for a decade and a half.

I think it was basically a clone of Diablo and those sorts of games, but I've never been able to find it!

 

[Luke1t0]

Hey everyone there is a game I've been trying to find, I used to play it ages ago
Est time: 1990 - 2005
So heres what I remember, you start underground (I believe it was an old crypt? I could be majorly wrong) anyway once you awaken some spiders appeared which you had to kill them, after that you explored a little bit and after a bit you leave, once above ground you kill stuff, after that all I remember is there being a castle and you had to go in an arena and defeat a massive boss

Sorry if it's not clear enough or my time range is off

Could access a console if that helps? *cough cough* cheats *cough cough*

I haven't tested it (and I don't have an English version), but to me that sounds like something, the Seraphim of "Sacred" (2004) would say, haha.

Please help me, I am going insane looking for this game.
I played it when I was a kid, like 13 years ago maybe.
It was an fps, a horror fps game on PC. The game started in a dark room, I remember it wasn't simple to go out of that room. Rock walls and poor sources of light. But you were able to see all the environment. OK so when you went out of that room, you were carrying a gun, and I think this is the key to know the game, the gun was a disc throwing weapon, like the Razorjack in Unreal Series, but it throws a discus like a carbide tipped blade. Soon after going out of that room you are on a corridor and you encounter the first enemies, they were pretty hard for me to hit them because those enemies were small, like spiders or so... I don't remember. I remember I had to press the "End" key or something like that to aim down and shoot those enemies. And after that I remember a big enemy tall as the player and you could cut its limbs with the projectiles, even the head if you aim for it. I cant remember how this enemy looked like but It was horror themed I think. So that is all. Btw there were no sprites, all 3d modeling. A 90ish fps game. I need to play it. Thanks!

I found it. It was a demo of "Chasm the rift". Im guessing nobody saw my post anyways. Bye.

okay i need help finding a game.
it was an online game played on a browser, 3D, basically a little kids game.
i really enjoyed playing it but cant remember the name of the website it was.
it was a virtual world type game where you pick and animal type thing and then you go on quests around the town.

 

[Soenatte]

I've been looking through the internet for a long time but still can't come up with anything decent. I remember playing this game maybe sometime within the early 2000's but I'm not quite sure. It was a PC game, likely an rpg, and you would begin in what I believe was a castle? Or mansion? It was definitely dark though. And you could pick and name your weapon which was actually sentient and had an ego(?) rating and would talk to you. I remember very little about it, but I believe the weapon's name and image was displayed in a bar at the bottom of the screen together with other information... I know this is vague but I'm hoping someone can help me... I originally sought this game occasionally over the years but still turned up with nothing.

Gorasul: Legacy of the Dragon, perhaps?

 

[alexsmith]

Hi, people!

The game I'm after was launched probably between 1990 and 2000. I've been looking for it all over the web and could not find a single screenshot.

The game was turn-based and was Warcraft-like. You start by seeing just a small part of a map and you have a few characters (no more than 5, if I remember right) and you start building houses. The scenery is a forest, from which you can gather wood by cutting trees and meat by killing animals.

As years pass by, you're able to build more complex things, like farms (I remember those were basically yellow squares), warehouses, etc.

There were snow storms too.

Do you remember something like that?

 

[WWCE]

I can't remember this one game I played in the late 90s. It worked on Windows 95/98 I think. It was on a CD called 1001 or 101 games or something like that. In the game, you could be a purple, red, green, or yellow(?) witch/wizard--but purple is the default when playing one player. The gist of the game was that you have cauldrons that explode and kill monsters or break rocks that have potions or extra lives (hearts) in them. The potions could give you special powers (I think stuff like fire). The game setup was a maze sort of thing (I think 2-D) and you had to be careful not to kill yourself when the cauldron you set down exploded. There are different levels. I've been searching for this game for years. PLEASE HELP!!

 

[Kirishiro-chan]

There was this one game I can't seem to find anywhere on the internet. I remember playing it at my cousin's house back in the 90s. It was a game where you use this white glove to select things, I remember there being a flashlight you had to pick up with the glove and use. I remember there being stars on the walls, It was a point and click type of game that was either on SNES or Genesis. I always thought it looked like Sonic's hand, no idea why.

There was also this other game, it was a NBA game or some type of Basketball game, it was 3d, and I remember that every time you press pause and unpause there would be these things floating around everywhere (like little round ovals, or spheres with words in them). Not sure what system it was on. But it was a game from the 90s as well that I also played at my cousin's house around the same time I played the other game.

The third game is of some Adventure type game that was on N64. I think it might be Banjo Kazooie or Banjo Tooie but I'm not sure. I remember one character in particular wore headphones and had long hair and glasses or shades on, and he would be doing the moonwalk back and forth, I believe it was either a quest giver or shop keeper or something.

And lastly, I remember playing this game back in 2005. It was a space mining type of game, with different shaped ores you mine for. They were different colors and shapes and you had to defend your base and stuff like that. It was semi-3d, and it took place on a rocky type of planet with a base and everything. The game came pre-installed on a Gateway PC.
