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

[thedkm]

Hello everyone!

There is a game i used to play when i was a kid. I was thinking about this game a while back but couldn't remember the name, since then i've been looking for it on the internet but i can't seem to find anything about it. I hope someone here can help me out, that would be much appreciated.
The game in question is a platformer, from before the year 2000. I can't remember the exact year but i think it was the early 1990s. This game is set in a fantasy middle ages, kind of a conan the barbarian style. You could play as either a man or a woman, and i think you could switch between the two during play. There isn't much else i remember other than a specific level with a jungle theme with a lot of vine climbing. I think the man had a sword and a shield and the women a spear. I also think the health bars were displayed by red bubbles that would become black once depleted.
I know it isn't a lot to go by but maybe it will ring a bell for someone.

Thanks in advance for anyone trying to help!

Looking for an old PC game. It was probably on CD but I can't remember. Here are the details I can remember:
- PC game
- Was a 2D sidescroller or perhaps a 2.5D sidescroller. Leaning more towards 2D sidescroller.
- Took place in medieval times. You fought with knives, swords, spears and the like.
- I think the character was a thief or an assassin or some type of Robin Hood-like character. He was basically good I think.
- Time of day during the game was very often at dusk or night. I remember having to avoid knights/guards above ground because they typically did not like the main character.
- The main character was normally dressed in black I think.
- Reminded me of a cross between the old Price of Persia and Thief games, but I am positive it was neither of those.
- What I especially remember was that a lot of the gameplay took place in tunnels and dungeons. The tunnels/dungeons were especially tricky because there were crushing pillar traps in the ceiling which you had to time perfectly to get past.
- This was a game I watched my dad play I want to say in the 90s or very early 2000s.

Thanks in advance for any help or ideas!

Found it! Shadows of Cairn (1994). It was actually in an older post in this thread but I probably wouldn't have recognized the name.

Hi guys.
I remember playing a game in my neighbor'pc when i was young before i get my first pc in 2000.

I am searching this game for a year with no luck. It was puzzle game like a maze with a green creature drinking something to unlock the path. It really looks like the CandyMaze http://cdn.ghstatic.com/images/screens/202644/1/1.jpg but this not the game.

Please help..

Heya gyus I'm looking for a 2D puzzle game a year now. You control a ball and your purpose was to destroy all the bricks. You could change the color of your ball and you could destroy only the same colored bricks. Also you could access the levens through pipes. I remember playing that game about 10 years ago. Please help...

I've been looking for this one for years and I just can't find anything and it's been driving me insane. I'll just post below as much info as I can remember.

- A Mech anime-style TBS game that I've played on the PC in mid-late 90s.

- Graphics/art style: 2D overview of map, reminds me of Battle of Wesnoth. Anime style characters. Environment had a medieval feeling to it as I remember some levels had castles.

- Main character was male and had long, purple(?) hair. His robot had two swords which would be engulfed in flames during a special attack.
A girl with red hair and a guy with brown hair appear in level 2. The guy's robot fought with a hammer while the red hair girl's fought with a short sword and used wind attacks. They appear as reinforcements in level 2 when the main character is overwhelmed by enemy numbers.
A blonde girl who at first does not have a mech but later becomes a playable character when one robot "calls out" to her from an enemy base.
I remember the bad guys wearing helmets which hid their eyes, very similar to the ones found on the Global Defence Force Tactics cover: http://i.imgur.com/y7LhkMc.jpg

-Gameplay: Turn based strategy. Player and enemy took turns and every turn ended when all playable characters moved and attacked. Player selected characters on the 2D overview of the map, each player was represented as the head of their robot. Some attacks used mana, and some could not be used, depending on distance to target. Some decisions had to be made during parts of the story that would alter what the next level would be.

-More details: I remember that the first level starts off with the main character trying to protect a town/village from an attack. If he defeated all enemies, the village would be saved, if not there would be an animation on the map of it being destroyed but the game would still continue even with it destroyed. After the attack he finds the blonde girl character which follows him on his quest but only becomes a playable character later in the game.
The game was in english and had no voice dialogue. I don't know for sure if it was initially a japanese game. If anyone can help me find this, I will love them forever.
Also, it's not Vanguard Bandits or any of the Super Robot Wars from what I know.

Hi, I joined this thread to try and finally find out the game I've been trying to find for years. I used to play it when I was younger, maybe late 1990s, early 2000s so my memories are pretty hazy. It was kinda an educational PC game and I can remember it being set in a forest...graphics were pretty good considering the time lol it wasn't 2D. It had arrows on each side of the screen like a compass for which direction you wanted to go in. I'm sure I remember there being a cottage in the woods where you had to mix inks, and I think I remember something about looking for constellations. Thanks in advance

Hi I'm looking for one of my all time favorite games but I have no idea of the name, it's a 2D artillery strategy game https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artillery_game . I'd say late 80s to 90s era, you control tanks, you can bore through the ground. I used to have the 101 Games CD-ROM 1999 and the game was on the disc. I really miss this game I used to spend 100s of hours playing it when I was little. And it had just had one really awesome song on loop.

Hey I need help finding a game i played back in about 2005. All i remember is it was a fantasy rpg that was very choice driven. In the first cutscene a bird poops on you head, you sibling tells you good luck, and then they die i think in a house fire. i believe it was on playstation. sorry i dont remember more but i really want to find this game again.

So, I'm not sure if this game is that old or not, it's release could range anywhere from 2003 to 2010. It was a three letter tittle abbreviation(I think it contained A and I for Artificial Intelligence, i can't remember the third letter(word)). It was a 3D game where you flew a hovering ship around this planet, there was little "cities" or just stations. You had guns and could attack other ships and they would fight back if they weren't transporting ships. Also in cities if you attacked someone a giant gun would just shoot you for breaking the rules. If you killed a ship, it dropped a "module" which you could collect. I remember it was on 2 or 3 cd's.

Hello guys, I was looking for a 2d (fake-3d to be more precisely) top-down scifi shooter game around year 2001-2004 or so, in which you control a heavily armed mech-vehicle and roam (or float?) around the map. The basic weapon was, of course, a gatlin, which you can upgrade or change through picking up power-ups on your way around. The version I played was a demo if I'm not mistaken, first level on-land and the second level in an underground base.
I've been searching every game database possible for this game but failed to match my memory...and wonder if I could ask for some help here. Thanks in advance!

I found the game! It's called "Vyruz - Destruction of the Untel Empire"

As for me I would marry the person to tell me the name of this game. I've looked EVERYWHERE for this goddamn game, i mean everywhere!!

Its a racing game a lot like Rollcage but it had different colorful chars that you could pick from, and those chars had cars to match them. Depending on the char/car you got diff powerups, like one car could shoot, one could use shields and the purple one had spikes coming from the tiers. I'm not 100% sure but I think its for gamecube?? I could be wrong, but it had really great music and nice different (not-so-long) circuits, usually 3-5 laps being the norm.
And yeah it was a lot like rollcage, you could go upside down and jump and such. And im not sure but there was at least 1 girl, the others were guys? Someone pls;;;

It could possibly be "Firebugs".
