Oh my gosh, that's it!! Thank you and your terrific memory so much! Sadly, it doesn't appear to be one of the games recently set up at https://archive.org/details/softwarelibrary_win3_games.

Hello! I could use some help finding an old game if anyone has time!

It was a game my dad would play on PC sometime in the late 90s or early 2000s. It was a sidescrolling platformer that largely took place in a castle or dungeon. The protagonist was male and wore a silver cape that would swish behind him when he jumped, and I recall an enemy like a squatting goblin wizard that shot fire/energy balls. The graphics looked pretty pixely, almost like old castlevania titles.

I know this isn't much to go off of, but I would appreciate any help! Thanks!

alright here's one, an early 2000s one on one fighter starring very simply designed characters: they're all rayman-esque in the sense that they have no arms or legs but floating hands and feet. all the characters are very blobby. one in particular had a headband and a staff while another was smaller and had a beak-like face

also if I could get some help finding a later version of lode runner because I can't find the updated version that had better design, gold in walls, and dynamite (it might've had a different name than its predecessor) also I remember the title screen had the guard sleeping while our character snuck into the mine

thanks

Old game, 80s IMO - you play the role of a mecha/robot that can turn into a fighter jet and you fight the baddies. You can fire rockets if I'm not mistaken and can go in all directions (literally) either by foot or by transforming into a jet fighter.

Any idea?
Thexder.
It pops up in the thread from time to time, mostly because of the hard-to-remember name.

Thanks, that's exactly it!

Ok guys, see if you can help me out
I am looking for a game i played in an emulator, its probably a SNES or Megadrive game because its old af
Its pretty mutch alike Heroes of Might and Magic i guess (never played too mutch)
Its a fantasy game, where you recruit and fight with magic creatures and can (or should) conquer castles.
You can recruit many units, but your cursor, the representation of your movements are a knight whit white horse and a banner of some kind

Basiclly you are abble to walk across all the map, all grass is green af, some forest u cant walk throught(i guess), and the sea you become a boat when get in it (not sure either)
Also remember fairy's as one type of units

Sorry, i really dont remember a lot, but I do wanna find out what is the name of this game, been searching for a coupple of hours and still nothing.

Thanks

I remember playing this on PS1 as a child so my memory of it is patchy

It's a sidescrolling game, you can play as either a female or male character, it has a fantasy setting and one of the only parts I remember is jumping across rooftops and bouncing off things (maybe chimney smoke or washing?)

Sounds like King's Bounty [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8sfYRD-Kcg] to me.

Okay so there's a game I remember seeing played at a friends house. I am going to assume it was a PS1/PS2 rpg. Possibly jrpg. I can remember almost nothing about it other than that it starts in some kind of school/academy type setting. It was probably a popular game rather than obscure. Fairly sure it isn't Persona. This was played in 2004 so obviously nothing newer than that.

I know that is virtually nothing to go on, but amy help would be awesome.

This is a game I remember playing in the 90's that I downloaded from American online. There were two games. You were in the role of a babysitter and it was a text game. The first one is where the kid is a brat and keeps doing things and you have to keep him from getting in trouble...the second one was a lot cooler and you took the kid to a carnival but then you had to do something with the things there

Hi everyone,

I?m trying to find the name of an old adventure that I played on Windows (or even DOS?). I?m 90% sure it was text-based but had accompanying pictures for each scene. So the text box would say something like ?You?re sitting on the beach. The sun is shining, the sea is rather quiet.? etc, etc and there would be a still image of the beach scenery. Rather sure you had to enter text to play/interact.

I remember the story only vaguely. The general topic had to do with time travel and/or space travel; and with virtual realities. The main antagonist was, I believe, an artificial intelligence that tried to trap you in these virtual realities without you noticing; roughly a ?Matrix? style setup, but I?m very sure it predates Matrix by far. You had to find inconsistencies in the virtual reality to escape it; or had to use the in-reality rules in such a way that it creates a logical conflict breaking the virtual reality ? provoking a ?divide by zero? error, if you will. The virtual realities you had to escape from varied wildly ? they could be a jungle, an alien planet or any number of other places. There?s three I remember distinctly:

- One was the aforementioned beach. To escape that virtual reality, you had to break the system by walking up to the beach bar that would serve an unlimited number of cocktails. If you managed to make the barkeeper drink his own alcohol, he would lose control over the cocktail creation process and would keep serving unlimited amounts that kept filling the beach until infinity, bursting the virtual reality. Your beach towel also played a role, but I don?t remember which.
- Another one was a hell-style setting underground with fires threatening you. You would wander on narrow ridges that had steep precipices left and right. At one place, a number of monkeys would sit across the precipice on a different ridge. They couldn?t reach you, but could kill you by throwing rocks at you. I believe you could blow a hallucinogenic powder over to them that would send them into fits of rage so that they threw each other down the ridge.
- The final virtual reality was the inside of a space hangar or spaceship or space capsule. You were made to believe that you had actually destroyed the evil AI and were either safely home or on the way there. But it turned out that this was actually a last-ditch attempt of the AI to lull you in. You had to realize that you still were trapped in a virtual reality and still had to get out of this last one.

Not sure if I got the details all right; but that?s the way I remember the game? Any idea what this could have been? Thanks!

im looking for a game i played for pc long time ago 2000+-
it was a medieval game
where you start escaping from a prison by some kind of magic/curse that maked you a rat/mouse, later in the gameplay you transform randomly (i think) in a monster or a rat that gives you benefits or disadvantages.. in the game you play in some kind of open world you can buy and sell stuff such as potions, also it was creepy at some points you found burned corpses and rivers of lava (underground catacombs)

help please ?

Hi! I hope you can help me with this, I'm looking for a PS1 game, I can only remember that in the intro there was a zombielike guy falling to the ground, and when you start playing you controlled a guy in an purple suit (I think) that waked up from a capsule and you have a certain amount of time to get out of that room or you die by gas (I never made it out of that room, I was only 5 years old and english is not my native language).
Please help me! Thank you!!!!

Hey everyone, so the game I'm trying to find was one from a demo disk for ps1. I remember there was three playable levels, but the one that stands out the most in my mind was one where you fight a giant four legged suit of armor. It started out with you going to a castle, then the suit attacked and chased you through the town. It would jump and you had to attack the legs. Eventually after destroying the legs you would pick it up and toss it over a cliff. Thanks for the help!

I'm looking for 2 games, i've searched everywhere on google, can't find it.
I remember playing them as a kid on windows 95.
One of them you made cookies for Santa Claus like you made the design on the cookies and then you choose between milk or oj. And i think the game had other things like gift rapping, making dolls...
The other game was like a flash type of game, point n click, you started on a living room and then clicked to go outside (i think is was snowing, during the night) and you end up on a cave, the cave was kinda like a maze, you needed to get keys, go back and fourth. Thanks in advance
