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

[skratchattack]

This game is from the 90's. I remember playing it alongside another game called Cyberia and it came out in 94. So it must have been around that year.
Some things I remember from the game are:
- The main character is a boy
- First level was some jungle level and you had to jump onto a root of a tree and then jump over some water, if you failed something would come up from the water and eat you whole.
- There was some level where you had to climb some green grassy wall, and you had to click with your mouse onto the wall and just guess where was safe to click, if you failed then the player would fall and you had to try all over again.
- Some level was sort of like hell, seemed very hot and I think I remember lava and dark rocks, and you had to get some boulders
- One level had crystals, where you had to align the correct crystals to move forward.

That's pretty much all I remember, I just HAVE to know the name of this game.

I completely forget the name of the website, but I remember playing some fairly unique puzzle games on a website a long time ago. The basic premise was that you started with nothing on the field, and had an assortment of items to select from. As you chose an item, it was added to the field and would have an effect, and then you would chose another item. The ultimate goal was to trial-and-error to figure out what order items needed to be selected to get the best outcome. He also had a few other types of games on his page (including a fun whack-a-mole-type game that used the Numpad).

Anyone happen to know which website I'm talking about? Is it still around? Has he created any new puzzles in the years since I've been there last?

Hey Everyone!

There was this old PC game that I used to play back in the 90's. I feel like it came on a CD with many other games loaded on to it as well, but this one was a 2d pixelated game played in 3rd person, reminiscent of an Rpg/dungeon game.
If I remember correctly, you started out in a village and worked your way through these dungeons and to eventually fight these hairy creature bosses. But to "fight" you literally just pressed the keyboard in the direction of the enemy. You could also shoot these green/blue and/or red fireballs to help damage them and you could pick up/dump your findings in this iconic looking gold pile. There was always this chance to find new enchanted/cursed armor but there was like no way of knowing it was cursed and trying new armor became the new bane of my existence.
I know this is a huge shot in the dark with a limited description but if anyone has any ideas on what this might be just let me know.
Thanks!

It's actually been doing my head in looking for this game..
All I remember is a side scrolling game, in one of the earlier missions you press UP on the controller and you can dive into a bush to avoid the spot/search light that is roaming around.
Not sure if NES or Atari, but pretty sure it was a NES game.

Can't remember if it was a spy game, but the only image I have in my head.

might be hostages

Hello Everyone , I have 2 pc games from the 90's I am trying to remember.

1) This is a 3rd person action/adventure. The only points i recollect are that you are a knight of some sort ( kind of like the knights Templar). Might be wrong but i remember the character wearing armor and a white cape. The main point of the game was that you are infected or cursed and it is causing your character to slowly turn into a beast/monster. Taking damage also causes you to turn into this beast/monster.

2) don't remember much about this one apart from that its an adventure game. The only defining feature i seem to remember is that in the top left corner of the screen , you had this transparent cauldron into which you could drop items from your inventory and it would make the liquid in the cauldron change color. The cauldron also had a chain which you could pull and would cause the contents to be flushed away and be lost forever. I think the main character was female.

Any help would be appreciated

Game 2 pretty much is "Legend of Kyranida: The Hand of Fate (Book 2)" (1993)
By far my favourite of the series.

the first game's plot sounds like the plot of

I made an account to try to get an answer to this. I keep remembering this game, but all I remember is this little guy:
http://www.pd4pic.com/images/snail-shell-trail-moving-slow-slime.png
That's just some kind of stock image, and reverse-searching gives me nothing. It might not even be the right snail, but it's at least really similar. I remember him inching across the screen with a gross sound. This probably would have been 2000s, maybe late 90s, some kind of little kids' game. I keep thinking Winnie the Pooh but that's not right. Help!

Edit: This would be a PC game.

Hello guys!
Well it's not an old game, i played it ~2010 or later.
It's not 1st-3rd person view, it's like banished(how you see the characters).You are in a small island and you have 3-4 workers(like dwalves) and one swordman,generally everything seems like "minions". You gather wood and stone with the workers and build a house-castle(never finished one).At night something like monsters are coming and kill everything. You can get up in the bricks(or something like that)with your workers and your swordman can fight them but he can't win.You also collect blue energy and you can create more workers,swordmen or archers.
If someone know it please let me know. I 'm searching for days..

Hi!

This game might be a bit too obscure, and my very faint memories of it aren't going to help any...

I remember playing to death a Windows 3.1 strategy game around 1995 or so that featured a basic layout of squares (maybe hexes?) on a light-colored grid, possibly with some sort of designation for water or impassible terrain here and there so that there were definite chokepoints on the map. One side's territory and pieces were colored red, and the other blue, if memory serves me right.

I believe it was kind of a war game, but it didn't have any real-world military icons or graphics to go with it, so it was more abstract than what war gamers are used to today. This game very likely came from a Windows 3.1 game collection disk (possibly shareware), because I don't know where else I would have gotten it from, as nearly all the games I bought during that era were fancier, more well-known DOS-based games. My faint memory recalls the gameplay being fairly similar to the later Slay, though with a more abstract presentation, and I don't remember it having the unit stacking behavior that Slay incorporated. Any ideas?

The addition of a ton of Windows 3.1 games to Archive.org made me think about this one a lot this week. Thanks!

Not sure if anyone can find this game for me but here it goes..

Use to play day and night an old like 2D/16bit top down view RPG game for computer. early to mid 2000's. It was free to play download, online game with player vs player action. Different classes. If you died in certain areas you lose an item etc. and respawn in a graveyard. Some maps were Player Kill maps. Some weren't. and there was a player vs player arena. I remember you start off killing small lizards/sloths and soon work into a spider dungeon with a queen/king at the end. Collecting their drops to sell/build items. Eventually you find/create or buy gear from other players. I remember one of the hardest bosses was a small lizard wizard/king (he wore a wizard hat/cape) and he dropped a rare staff sometimes. There was also like a lava king boss. Eventually you could get a rare staff/spell that you can change your character skin into monsters in the world... for the life of me i cannot remmeber the game and was hoping to see if it was still out there..

thanks in advnaced..

Hail Gods of Gaming knowledge!Heed my pitiful calls for help, and rid me of this question that is driving me insane!

I was born in 1984, but grew up in South Africa during the time of international sanctions. I played the game around 1990, but it was almost definitely released a few years before that. At this time, seeing pc's Alley Cat was pretty normal. This was pre "Stunts".

The game was a 2D RPG of sorts, that was only in 2 colors. Much of the game had you in caves, 3 or 4 stories deep (donkey kong style). You could see more than 1 level up or down, on the screen. The 2D hero character had a shield that kind of looked like a beer mug, and when he swung his sword it kind of looked like he was swinging a feather. One of the stronger enemies was a female ghost that blew kisses at you. I remember once finding an exit that took me to a 2D town.

This was played on some kind of pc, and I remember the owner calling me over one day to see the new mouse he had gotten.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
