Alright, I hope someone can help me, I've been looking for these games and never found them, not even a single written line about them.

The first one is a futuristic racing game where you pilot some sort of cristal like, or at least I believe so, hover bikes. Not much to say other than most of the bikes had different color schemes, it's a racing game with a futuristic theme, you can't get more simple than that. Also, most of the racing tracks were on space stations and such.

The second one is a platforming game where you play as a red squirrel that collected nuts I believe, it had bad 3D graphics, horrendous controls and terrible camera, making it really damn hard. You started in a small platform on the ocean, and had to jump to the other platforms in front of you until you reached a bigger island that had a tower in which you had to reach the top. That's the best I could ever go because of how hard the game was due to the camera and the controls.

The third is a very low poly 3D racing game, the tracks were low poly, and the cars were low poly as well, and everything, or at least almost, had flat texures. The game changer here, is that the tracks were whole maps that you could fully explore and completely ignore the race, all of them were offroad tracks, so you would found yourself driving through hills and mountains, with everything looking blocky as hell. And the cars had a very deep damage system for such an old looking game, you could crush the hell out of your car with falls or hitting stuff at high speeds

And the last one is another low poly 3D game, but this one had better textures, it had an isometric-ish camera, all the characters looked like chibis, they had stubby arms and legs, you played almost entirely in dungeons, it was a hack'n slash game too, I believe. That's about all I can remember from the game.

Played all on PC.

Much appreciated to anyone who can give me the name of those games.

Hello all,

In the 90's, I remember playing an MS DOS fantasy game. You started out as a prince or a king who's family is kidnapped (I think) you start out in a house in the forest and you are given a talisman or something from a wizard. eventually you make your way through the forest to town where you can buy things at a bakery or a tailor (buying a cloak stands out for some reason along with searching and looting). I remember one scene early on, you talk to a talking tree by a pond/oasis. A bit further on, the landscape changes to the desert and you get attacked by a group of bandits.

Not much to go on, but hopefully someone can help.

Thank you!

This was from a while back, and I haven't been able to find any trace of this game.

It's an old title, for the PS1.

All I can recall is that it was 3D, you drive some kind of mech-tank around with a 3rd person view, and the tank could change it's method of movement between tank and quad-leg which I think allowed it to jump? The setting I remember was a really large cave.

Signed up just to see if someone else can remember or find this.

OK so I've been searching for days and days about this old 90's PC game I used to play. I don't rememeber much of it but it's like a factory or a shop with machine for little monster or chickens not sure lol so people would come knocking on the door, sometimes it's a giant and sometimes it's something else and they'd be like "I would like red hair and orange shoes" something to that effect, anyway, they would ask for a a specific little monster/chicken and you would have to dress them up and make them. in the factory you had lots of options like hats with polka dots or stipes, shoes, I think there was scarves too.

I know my description is bad but that's all I can remmember to be honest.

For a whole decade I have been looking for a classic PS1 game which has proven very difficult for me to track down. I'm hoping that by describing it to the best of my ability on this thread then somebody might know what the game could be....

Basically you're in a haunted castle or mansion (I can't really remember which) and I remember playing a really strange looking character. You have to locate random objects in various parts of the castle; for example, on the rooftop and inside. As part of the game there was a fantastic twist. A spinning wheel was included (much like the wheel of fortune) and dependent on how well you did in the level; you would then land on a very good spot on the wheel succeed to the next level; if you had done good. If you proved unsuccessful, then you would either land on game over (if really awful) or you would end up boss battling with a little girl covered in gothic makeup and jet black hair.

I remember the way she looked exactly and she was quite pretty. She used to freak me out though. She had a horrible laugh and had real anger issues. I don't remember if it was true but the boss battle took place in a dark round room surrounded by loads of doors. Each of the doors opened and I can't remember if the girl kept appearing out of different doors or whether she sent slaves out to battle. I just remember boss battling with her and losing every time due to the difficulty of her strength. The spinning wheel was quite colourful but the entire game was dark and moody.

If anybody is aware of a game of this content and you know the title; it would mean a lot if you could let me know...

Hope you're all having a good start to a new week. Kindest of regards

Hello! I need help finding a game which i played LONG ago but don't remember the name of!

It was a PC game. RPG and (i believe) Third Person. As far as I remember, there was no character customization, so the character had black hair. You started the game in a scout tower. Whenever you got down, some wolves came and tried to kill you and you had no way to defend yourself (atleast I remember so). It was a big field and you had to run somewhere, but I don't remember where.

To launch the game, whenever you clicked on the EXE, a window would pop up with 3 buttons for 3 (i think) different campaigns(?). I played around with it a little bit, and since the first one was played by my big brother, he told me not to press it. The second and third ones were practically the same.

The description is pretty vague, i know... But if you could PLEASE help me find this game i would very much appreciate it! I looked for it EVERYWHERE and couldn't find it anywhere!

The game I've never been able to find the name of was played in/around 1994/1995 on a mac of pc.

I'm about 95% sure you were on another planet. There were alien cops and if you mouthed off to them, they would kill you and it would cut to an image of a brain in a jar and there would be an alien smoking a cigarette and the text would say something like "The aliens marveled at your small brain" or something along those lines.

You could walk into bars and get drunk. there was a robot that would serve you and ask if you wanted more, Basically the scene got blurry and I seem to remember that if you drank too much OR cussed at them, they would kick you out.

You had a free form text box to enter what you wanted to say. as the game progressed you moved about on what appeared to be a spaceship.

this was posted a while back by user bfperez, im looking for this game as well. any help appreciated.

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!
perhaps

Pendulous (1995)

I used to play a game on the Gameboy (original), you were a japanese style robot that had to battle monsters and other robots in a 1 on 1 beat em up style, you could transform into robotic animals, like a leopard and a hawk. I cannot for the life of me remember what it was. Any help?
