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

[Tvyorni Znak]

Please can anyone help with this one? (re-post)

A game I played on the Macintosh SE. It's been a long time and my memory is sketchy but here's what I remember:

It was a room-to-room adventure game.

It seemed to blend historical periods. I mostly remember swords and medieval settings, but I swear there were also parts where you could pick up a gun and fight futuristic guards.

Near the start you had to swish a sword in an empty study, and then a wizard appeared (or something like that) and gave you your starting mission (or something like that!)

For some reason which as a child I could never understand, you were occasionally suddenly transported to an arena where you had to fight a dinosaur. It invariably killed me.

Hello eveyone! I hope you can help me with this:

It was a PS1 game, late 90s, early 00's, and pretty much the only I can remember is a green lizard/toad or something like that, which moved along a fixed path, where it would find enemies. I kind of remember it as a platformer, but the more precise thing I remember is that the character made a really fancy noise when he spitted (yep, as an attack). It sounded like I also remember some fly-like enemies. It was 3D, typical third person camera, and the path he moved through had 90 degrees corners, so it was pretty much like an enhanced 2D game (reminds me of Tomba! in this aspect).

It could perfectly be a child's game, because I was so little. But god, I just want to listen to that spitting sound effect one last time...

Sorry for being sooo inaccurate.

Hi!
Okay i have been searching for this game for absolutely years!!!
Here's what i remember;
Im guessing it was for windows 95 or 98
The character you played looked a bit like a potato or something, it was on a floating platform in the middle of space type of thing and the aim of each level was to get to a key to unlock the next one.
It wasn't a maze game but you had to step on squares and some had cracks (which made a well nice sound if you stepped on it) and once you've stepped on them they would disappear so you couldn't go back on yourself. I think also you had to collect things as you were going along in each level. maybe there was red keys and gold keys? (i may have a few details wrong as i was young when i played this).
If you fell off the edge you would fall in a black hole and disappear.
It was also like a birds eye view i think. Hope somebody can help!

I know the Gex series and I'm pretty sure it wasn't one of those. The style was more cartoonish, with the character being less stylized, and I believe he was wearing little to no clothes. Plus it was not 100% 2D, neither 3D. Again, it was more like a restricted 3D where you would always walk straight, turning corners and you could partially see the rest of the level. I barely remember the details so I apologize if it's too hard just that, that sound effect and some kind of flies or bees being quite annoying at some point.

This one is an obscure one. When i was a kid i used to play this construction site game for dos that had really cheesy full motion video scenes in it, but i cant for the life of me remember what it was called.

Road Construction Ahead?

That might be it, cant find a download of it anywhere to see if it is though.

Hello!
Please help me remember one strange PC game.
All I remember is that it looks like an indie game.
You have to pass by weird monsters or some creatures. Then you can move to next screen. The environment looks abstract or like in nature.
Maybe they had big eyes or something. Maybe there was puzzle based on physics...

Hi guys!

I got two old games on my mind. Both I played on PC. And I believe they are made in 1990-2000. Not certain thought.

First one is this 1st person action game, where you are in kind of like western style environment, not quite. It could be maybe like Texas or something, not sure. But anyway, there is some aggressive drunk guys and then aliens that you are killing. You have many different guns and chainsaws etc. I remember that the place where you are is quite big (many houses roads etc). One thing I remember is that I could go from sewer to toilets and stuff..

Second game is third person kind of like LoL style but you move with arrows or wasd whatsoever. I believe game takes time in the Middle Ages. This game is brutal and there is a lot of blood. I remember this game had also pretty big area to explore. You were controlling one guy with green/grey clothes and longish hair if I remember correctly. Then there where houses and beaches. Some of the houses were locked. There were also shops etc. There were monsters and after killing them you got gold. There were also some kind of treasures. One big thing I guess that I remember is that there were chickens and after you killed them they ran for some time without their heads and the blood kept coming. And I remember monsters that were black, kind of like buffaloes without heads and they were running around. There were also possibly some kind of magic. I remember one word ''Sherwood'' first I thought it could be the name of this game but I have done some research and I have found nothing.. For some reason I just remember that word from this game.

Thank you for taking the time! I really miss these games played a lot with my father who has now passed away few years ago.
Also sorry for my English Im from Finland so not native speaker!
Have a good one!

OK all, I've been trying to remember the name of a PC game I played when I was a kid. Here is what I can remember about it:

-Top down perspective, 2D, sprites

-Mercenary management sim/tactical combat. You had to recruit mercs, buy weapons, armor, and gear for missions. If you ran out of money you lost the game.

-The opening cinematic may have contained a visual pun/reference to Michael Jackson. (This game had a "zany" sense of humor.)

-During a dialogue with an NPC (a young kid), the NPC vomits profusely, accompanied by a very loud and gruesome vomit sound effect.

-There is a puzzle at one point involving a giant sentient venus fly trap.




this just the fabrication of a tortured mind, or is it all too real? Bonus points for screenshots, links to e-bay auctions, etc.

Did you ever find out the name of this game? I'm looking for the same one. After some searching, at first I was almost convinced it was jagged alliance, BUT it can't be, because I was playing this unknown game in 1990, and JA didn't come out till a few years after that. Please let me know if you ever figured it out, I'm dying to relive a childhood memory
Have a good one

Probably a long shot, considering it was a Sega Saturn exclusive, but your description reminds me of Bug! [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XFBwRnf3ZUQ].

Hey was wondering if anyone knows the name of this game. It was a computer game (from the nineties I think). Your character was a little old man with a white beard and you would mine through different stages collecting potions and treasure, while avoiding skeletons, spiders, trains and other creatures. Sorry don`t remember much about it.

 

[xAbyssalRemnantx]

Alright, I am currently trying to figure out the name and website location of this strategy game i used to play when I was probably in 3-5th grade somewhere around 2004-2006. The objective was to get a black or red ball onto a center goal in the shape of either a blue or red target which was placed in different spots on a level. You could use a multitude of different platforms from a menu, some including one with a red punching glove, a yellow or white slide and a silver spring and you could use these anyway they could fit to get the ball to the target. The game also allowed you to browse through player made levels. I can't remember if it was one of thosegames youcould play rom your browser, like small litle strategy games based entirely on physics,or if it was something you had to install.

 

[Sampo Kaarenmaa]

Hey! Wondering if anyone remembers this Space shooter game for PC released somewhere between 2005-2008. You would fly around destroying enemy ships that would explode to diamonds which you would then collect with a yellow vacuum beam and then use them to upgrade your ship. Sometimes you would come across a damaged ship that would let you collect its crew with the beam. I also remember a fitting screen where you fit the weapons, engines , vacuum beam ect. to your ship. The game is from upper perspective.

Hello guys,

So.. I don't remember much about this ooold game, but I've been struggling with it for sooo long!!! All I can remember is that it was something like underground..and I was a worm/snake/something which crawls and I had to go through a narrow and black space.. and I guess I had to open some door with a key. I'm sorry that's all I can remember I hope someone can help me!

 

[IsgtpeppersI]

Been trying to remember a game for years. Probably too vague to get an answer but worth a try. I remember it was either ps2 or gamecube. Rpg. I remember your base is a castle and you have a dog butler. There is dungeon crawling elements and defending the base. The lead male gets a legendary red sword later on. And the female lead uses a book.
