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

[Netsky200n]

Hello! I'm looking for some help finding a game I played a long time ago. I've no idea about the name and never had the cartridge either. At least I suspect it played off a cartridge, because I went to an arcade place and it played on arcade machines. I do belive I once saw them swap out cartridges. Perhaps yellow cartridges, similar to Famicom ones.

It was a sidescrolling fighter game, you playing as your choice among 4 elemental ninjas : fire, wind, water and earth. I might be bit off in terms of describing each, since I last played it... 15+ years ago and was about 6 years old myself.

All could call in screenwide strikes of their respective element. Fire could throw stars and call upon a wave of flame hounds. Water... not sure what weapon the water ninja had, nor do I remember too well what specials it used. Wind used a chained sickle, can't remember specials. And finally earth used something like a golf club and if I remember well, it could open up a hole in the ground and perhaps also called in jagged rocks as artillery. Any ideas? I really miss it, thanks in advance.

 

[diablo rules]

ok, This one might be kind of obscure.

Space puzzle survival game.
Top down view, "You" are actually several people trapped in a space station/habitat/something in space, you try to save the ones you can, bringing the right items to the right places in the right sequences to escape. Some items are weapons that can kill an alien, some might be keys for doors or a spacesuit to let you walk outside to do/get something.

Some of the puzzles might have been pseudorandom but at least some of the puzzles were static. As you progressed through the different "levels" you encountered different areas like an botanical habitat or station areas and so on. I don't think it was turn based, I don't remember if it was pausable. I do remember it was hard as Arnolds ****s though

Ok so from 90s or early 00s, a pet simulator with a baby purple dragon or dinosaur that you could bottle feed and if you took something away from it, it'd cry "want that" -- thanks

Well, I'm new here too...and I don't think I'll get some help with the bad info I have in this game...but...
I used to have this Windows 98 old pc. It had only 2gb HD, and 32mb ram. I had Abaddon (the rpg) installed and everything was fine...until my friend lent me this CD. There, I've found THE GAME. It was some kind of adventure, or rpg. Very old one, resembling Abaddon, or some Rpg Maker 98 games.
I've played it, but I was HORRIBLE with english, so I've had to throw it away. But, just yesterday, I was remembering the game, and wanted to actually PLAY IT FOR REAL.
Anyway, the game was a top-down rpg (or adventure), that I could play with my Windows 98. It remember playing with a guy who could throw objects on his enemies. You could just stand in front of the grass block, press action, and you would pick it up, and throw it away. The same with vases and the like ( Just like in Harvest Moon )
Trouble is, I don't remember anything more. But I do remember the scenario was something like an old church, or a ruin. Well, it was some kind of place resembling a church. In the garden was some enemies ( died here 50x times ).
It was probably Japanese, since it was anime-like.
If anyone has the name of this game, please, tell me.

i'm looking for a game, probably mid 2000s. I remember it was a pet game where you could buy the full version of it and take them to the park and stuff. It's so hard to remember, but I remember red colors on the loading screen

 

[diablo rules]

Hello all! I'm trying to remember this toy I had back when I was younger. I would say it was in the early 90s, maybe even late 80's. I remember you could put a VHS tape in and it would play a story that would play out and you could essentially play along with it in real life - it was connected to the tv via sensors or something. It was a platform type toy. Had 4 legs and looked like an oil rig almost. It was a military/space type thing with ships and missiles and turrets, etc. You had to defend against an enemy invasion. When the enemy would attack you(from on your tv screen), if they hit your base, it would light up and "destroy" your base's missile launcher or whatever so it was very interactive. I remember there was like a red type missile thing that could be loaded in this dome shaped gun thing and you could launch it at the tv to try to defend your base. It is somewhat like Captain Power but it's not that - it's different. I tried Googling every possible combo and cannot remember for the life of me so I ended up here. I thought it was called Missile Command or something, but it's not. Any help you guys could shed would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I was remembering my childhood and then this one game got stuck in my head, his icon was a Blue Butterfly. I couldn't play since i got the Windows XP Update (Mistakes were made) i didn't know the Compatible Mode because i was a child...

- I played at around 2002-2003 (Bought a magazine with CD in my country that got this game, not sure if it was PC GAMER or not)

Some of the aspects of the game are:

- You start at a house that gets wrecked by some robot (wich is the boss of the stage)

- The first boss is a Robot Orange (or red) fish

- The second boss is a Robot Yellow Armadillo

- You can recruit soldiers

- It's a platform shooter game that has some Mechs

- You can recruit soldiers, robots and people

- there was WC cabins in game that you could save game by going in them

Please help, my childhood needs you guys!

 

[NOTYOURCONCERN]

Hello lads,
So, there's this game I played when I was young, would be amazing if anyone knows/remembers its name;
I remember at the beginning of the game, the character escapes from a restaurent/cafe or whatever building it is (From gangs or something?), then jumps into his motorcycle and starts running away and you take control of it. Then a bunch of other motorcycles start hunting you (There was also some guys with jetpack guys flying over you to shoot you), you shoot them with different weapons you get on your way. There was also helicopters which come from time to time to kill you. As I recall too, you could make stunts and stuff like using a jetpack that makes you fly for few seconds to gain a little advantage over bikes chasing you (A jetpack applied to the bike) to get more score, speaking about score, I forgot to mention that the game had no levels, it was a fun game where you had to survive the longest possible and make the best score possible and it was a 2d game (1995-2003?) I played on "Computer" (Yeah cause PC= Portable Computer :c ) with a "Nice" old rock song that fits with the action. HELP!! Lawl haf a great tiem!

 

[entograsshopper]

Trying to find the name of a browser based (PC) game from the early 2000s or late 90s...

Can actually remember quite a bit... but the dang name. I know you started out with a small ship, and the objective was to defeat a bad guy (boss pirate/smuggler so to speak, who maybe killed your family or parents...) he was green, had black hair black goatee, he was "humanoid" basically, and had a big space ship with a lot of little minion spaceships.

You were human I think, had to fly between planets buying and selling and trading goods/resources, basically it was a thing were "x" was cheap on planet A and expensive on planet B so you bought it on A and then flew to B and sold it. Along the flight you would randomly get attached by bad guys in ships (see big bad guys minions - their ships looked a little like x-wings...) and shoot them (turn based fighting).

You then visit the "spaceport" and upgrade your ship, by increase cargo space upgrade guns and engines ETC. and you could also buy other ships.

Anyone have ANY CLUE what game this is?

 

[perkl]

Need help putting a name to this game. Commodore 64, side scroller. You were a guy inside a space station. Each screen had two levels (upper and lower), you could run to either direction freely. The space station had a map you could travel. There were something like six targets you had to locate at different parts of the station and shoot them. Gameplay was pretty simple: you could run, jump, duck and shoot. You only had one life but could take some hits before dying. I remember the game being very fluid to play and the music was action-y if repetitive.

 

[sageman]

Ok, I've been struggling to find this game, I hope you can help me.

Around TEN YEARS ago, I installed in my PC a platform game, 2D sidescrolling, probably retro-pixelated, it was very fun to play, quite fast run and jump. I don't remember how I got it, whether I downloaded it or bought the CD.
In each level, you (some walking creature) were supposed to collect candy (and maybe other things too), there were a lot of collectable items, a lot of candy of different kinds, candy bars and many others, so many it was a challenge to get them all, and probably that was the goal of the area (or maybe just colleting some particular ones and back to were you came from.) All this in a forest, in mountains and caves. There were some enemies you had to avoid or maybe get rid of somehow. I can't really recall if it was christmas/halloween themed or not, but the candy bar is a sure thing... probably.

As you can tell, I'm kind of lost here, and Google hasn't been of much help lately. Thanks a lot.

 

[Tawreos]

So this is my first time here. Hello.
SO, what I am desperately looking for (for the past 7 years) is a game that was featured in a demo disc a german one for THE PS1
IT is about a guy wearing red(my memory is murky, its been 12 years) it starts in a room with picture of a pentagram or maybe the five elements, and the guy goes through a door, a huge one I think.
He uses a staff, not a sword, I distinctly remember that.
Next, it was a sprite, so something like alundra maybe.
It is not alundra,

IT IS NOT a side scroller, it is (maybe) an adventure rpg

IF some of the details dont match, REMEMBER: I have only played the demo, I have not SEEN it for the last 12 years, and I was pretty young then.
Basically: red outfit, staff definitely, pentagram or five elements, huge door, sprite character, not side scroller, PS1

Please, if you can help me find it, I would be really grateful.

Sounds like Nightmare Creatures might be a possibility?

No... Its a sprite character like from alundra.
Think something between link to the past and alundra. The guy uses a bo staff.
But thank you anyways.

Everything in your description reminds me of LOOM, yet details are not a 100% match but the staff.

No, it's not Zool... I already checked it thanks to a previous post in this same forum, I should have warned I knew it wasn't Zool considering my description would evidently mislead to it. *sad-laugh apology*
No, the game I'm looking for was just like Zool but less colorful, in much darker/night "natural" outdoor ambientations and stuff. Thanks a lot for the suggestion anyway.

 

[Ashley Hottell]

What is the PS one game with fuzzy creatures racing on obstacle like platform super colorful

 

[Saulkar]

Urgh, tried my damnedest to find it before asking for help, alas it has come to this. XD

It is a 3D game from the early 2000s where you built/designed/trained strange looking creatures to run (and I think, maybe long jump, possibly off a cliff(?!)) down a long, strait track and you tried to make them as fast as possible and travel the furthest. Urgh, I remember so little about the game despite watching the game grumps play it not too long ago. I want to find the animated version with audio taken from that episode, rargh!

 

[EclipseFTW]

This game was bugging me for a few years now, searched for it with no luck. Need help or I might go insane
It's around 2004's fps game with horror elements. Starts choosing character from 3-4 characters. Then you go outside through open tunnel,get attacked by something from above on the way.Then you come to something that looks like bridge,looks like evening, and you get attacked by bunch of spiders,quite scary.Also it had some fantasy weapons n explosives. I remember character having long hair,thats about it, never played it longer as my mum didnt allow it Game was around 800mb i think. Not sure if what I described was a demo of a game or the beginning itself. Please help :S
