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

[Nacho Rodriguez]

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!!!!

Overblood (1996)

New to this forum, but anyhow, there's this old racing game in which I remember playing in what I think was the early 2000s. I can barely remember anything about it at all, but I think it had three different areas and I think the last one was Alaska.

I think it was designed around 1998 or something, possibly by a prolific publisher, but just can't identify it.

Sorry about the vague description, but if I could remember more about it, I'd mention it. I haven't played it for over a decade I don't think. Even looking through an old hard drive from back then didn't pinpoint it.

Thanks

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!

the plot sounds like

Timequest (1991)

Found it! It's not Timequest but also a game published by Legend. The name is "Frederik Pohl's Gateway"

Hey all!

I'm looking for a game I've played a long time ago when I was young but unfortunately I can't find it anywhere (it was a demo from a magazine's CD)!

Key elements I remember:

- PC Game
- 2D Platform
- Main character was a knight..
- ..but not human - it was probably a mouse/ferret/fox in humanoid form
- was wearing a blue costume
- was fighting with a sword
- and collecting various items (diamonds maybe?)
- the first demo level was in a castle I think
- and the second was in a forest
- at the end of the level there was a vortex (blue I think) where you would enter and finish the level

I hope you are able to help me! Thank you very much!

Hello guys,

Have bein looking for a while.
Me and my brother played this PC game somewhere in or around the period of '97 to '99. It was an adult themed game with a first person shooter and puzzles.

I remember how you would start in a haunted mansion/building shooting ghost and at the end of the level you would have to kill a t-rex who would die in flames.
Also I remember a puzzle involving some chess pieces. You would have to collect video tapes/clips, wich would then be viewed.(graphic) I would always skip those because the shooting and puzzles were the p.o.i.
Also there was some sort of dungeon with a girl in the menu which I never found the use for. (its not manga or something like that).

I'm from the Netherlands but I do not believe it was exclusively released in the Netherlands.
I hope this rings a bell for someone. its not the avarage game.. and google provides nothing. thank you

There are many games which have this theme. I think the one you mean could be: Night raid

Oh wait, you wrote fps. sorry bout that.

What timezone did you play the game? this could narrow it down.

I've been on a nostalgia kick lately and thought of an old motorcycle game I played on early PCs. It was not Road Rash. It was visually similar to the 1997 Road Rash game though. There were no pedestrians, it wasn't violent (couldn't hit other riders with chains and things) and I remember that there was a traffic option so you could play with or without other cars on the road. I remember it being fairly short (maybe only 5 levels) but that could just be my memory of it fading.

Have you had a look at the "Beach Head" series yet?
It's four games, named "Beach Head 2000", "Beach Head 2002", "Beach Head Desert War" and "Baghdad Central Desert Gunner".

Here's an example video:

Geisterjager John Sinclair - Evil Attacks (1998)

or at least has some connection with your game.

Okay so... I remember playing this years ago. It was on the PC and it was a shooter. For some reason i want to say it was a Battlefield game because it rings nostalgia. You picked your soldier from a birdseye view of the battle and you zoomed in to first person mode and when you died you'd go back to birdseye view ans picked another one. It was very fun. I can even remember a maps layout and I just want to try it again. Any help would be appreciated!

The game i am searching is a ps1 game. i remember playing it between 2000-2005.
It is a racing game that looks a bit like wipeout but the world was more realistic, if i remember correctly the race track was made out of water or ice.
The vehicles looked futuristic as well. they had no wheels.
After every few racing levels there was a combat level where you could freely go around and had to destroy all other vehicles to win the round.

The game probably wasn't that popular since google gives nothing.
Thank you in advance!

hello,

i'm looking for a PC game from early 2000 similar to rayman 1 the game is 2d , the main character was fighting using his helmet throwing it at enemies
and he was wearing a purple cape also..

a second PC game was a 3rd person and you could choose either a sword user female or a 2 handed mace user male, it was a zombie game set in London and you were chasing a person who at the end becomes the devil he is the last boss as i recall.

thanks in advance.

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for a game in the early 2000s. I played it at my friends house and ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT. It's very similar to Age of Empires III (ya know with the aztecs and stuff) but it isn't old civilizations...its more futuristic. The resources aren't trees and stone..they're something else..I want to say something green and purple. You can create an army of war machines that can fly (among other units). Other than those differences its the same as AoE..it was on a CD. you started off with like a few of the starter dudes.

When I try searching for a game similar to AoE I get all modern games and can't find any of the older ones.

Thanks!!

If it were tanks and vehicles it could be --> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urban_Assault or maybe not even close.

The platformer should be "The Adventures of Lomax" (1995), a "Lemmings" spin-off.

The hack'n'slay is "Daemon Vector" (2005). It's Rhea, the girl, though, who carried the heavier weapons.
