Hi, first game I played was at school, think it was on a pc or Mac, the game was a sidescrolles platform game but the maze or level fit all on one screen, your stick figure/outline character would start in one section ie the bottom corner and would have to make his way to the exit which was in another corner of the screen through a series of jumps mazes ladders etc, you were constantly chased by three other figures if they got you the level reset and you start over, your defence was to lay pits either behind or in front of you that would trap the figures or they would fall through platforms to the bottom and continue chasing. These figures if they died would spawn back in where they began the level so they were always chasing you, anybody know the name of this game

Time frame is around late 80's any help would be awesome, thanks
Pretty sure it's Lode Runner, as I've recently helped someone find that one and their description was very like yours is.

I played a game for PS2 I believe where you were a male character in a big haunted mansion kinda setting and you had to fight zombies or skeletons or ghosts, I forget if it was one or all. It was animated to look kinda spooky but I think it was rated E or E10+ so it wasn't actually scary. I remember it was third person and the character at one point used a weapon that looked like a super soaker that shot purpleish fluid and killed the monsters. I wish I could give more details, but this was like 15 years ago I think.

Hi

After hours upon hours of looking for a favorite game of the 80's, this forum is (almost) my last resort ...

I am looking for the name of an arcade game, side scroller, where you had a spaceship that started with a meager canon and through the gameplay you could collect upgrades, like double- or triple-shot canon, bombs and lazers. I especially remember the very thick lazers (white) that burnt everything in their way. at the end of each "run" was a boss (if I'm not mistaken).
There weren't many back in 80s. If it was Darius, you'd probably remember the oddly shaped screen.
And R-Type was released on pretty much everything, would've been hard to miss on other platforms.

How about Life Force (aka Salamander)?

this may be the hardest one yet since i don't remember much,but i remember a trailer(or a cutscene) that was in the ps2 era games cartoony style(it could have been a pre rendered cutscene) with a guy that looked like he was captured and looked into a mirror or his reflection in the water and saw himself as a zombie or some other creature,i have absolutely no idea if it was exactly like that,but the creature part was it,i hope someone could help me,but i doubt it

I used to play this computer game in elementary school from the library so this is from the 2000s but all I can vaguely remember is the front cover of the cd case. It had a bright pink pig with white gloves on its hands and in the background had some sort of factory thing I think. I have been trying to find it for days and I don't remember enough to find anything. Anyone else know what I'm talking about???

Anybody help me with this one? I believe this one was a ps1 game, players (or player and ai) were placed in an arena, camera was slightly angled overhead(not really overhead but camera was up in the air, they would fight with different characters. There was a robot that shot rockets, one that looked like a rhinoserous that could charge at enemies, one that I think could shoot lasers that looked like a devil vampire of some sort, one that flied and shot lasers that looked infantry ish, one female i think made out of what looked like crystals, bunch of characters. There was a mode where the game would be played as a strategy game where one would buy characters (robot and rhinoserous were pretty expensive, for example, others were cheaper but weaker) to put them in the field and move them across the area they could cover (some had larger areas than others) in order to either go into the others player' character to fight him in a match, or capture his base. Overall it was an arena pvp were characters had some sort of stamina to use attacks. Vaguely remember it.

Wish I would have found this site sooner. This is prolly an easy one for y'all. The game is a 3rd person 3d action adventure type with RPG elements. I can't remember much, but I remember it used some sort of circle battle system much like quest 64 or ff12, but without the auto battle stuff. The game may have had permadeath, cus I remember having one character in my party die in a battle and I had to recruit a new one at level 1. It seemed to be mostly open world, but I can't remember the story. Last played around 2002. I remember needing to have skill points to learn a skill to unlock a chest, if that helps at all.

Hey guys i'm looking for 1 game. It's an old pc arcade-like shooter, all the models are design in polygons. It features the player in a plane (FPS view) auto-piloting around a city to shoot down alien ships. For the story mode, it started out from the city river, after shooting down a couple of wave of alien ships, the "zeppelin" of the alien ship will descent and launch more ships, after that the game will auto pilot you towards the city. After couple of battle, the ship will navigate up to the tallest building leading to the boss ship and you need to shoot it down in an order. That's all i remember.... Please help me remember! Thank you!!

So, i have been searching for this game on the internet for a long time.

- It is a Sci-fi/futuristic game

- Its a War/base defense game, you control one soldier and have the other AI soldiers help you to fight an army of aliens.

- You see your soldier from a distance (top down view), like Zelda games.

- You could ask for reinforcements (soldiers) based on how many aliens you killed, and i remember they would come in a small spaceship in groups of 4-5, there where many tiers of reinforcements.

- You had to defend a base, there where usable turrets there and some interactable doors etc.

- I remember the game title having "war" and a year like "2031" or "3000" on it, but im not sure.

- And i remember playing it on a Cd ROM on PC, in one of those "1001 games" CD that came with a magazine.

Bumping last week's thread since no replies

- About 10-15 years ago I remember playing a 3d space shooter games.

I think it was on windows 95.

It was arcade style - you looked behind your ship, moved it around the screen with your mouse and slowly waves of aliens would come and you had to shoot (mouse click) them while they moved around. If you couldn't hit them in time, they would fly towards you and if made contact with your ship you would die.

After a while you could get upgrades and then you would fight bosses. One of the upgrades is a bomb and when you right clicked it blew everything up on screen.

There was also this really rare powerup that I think I got once, which makes your ship spin round really quickly and send bullets everywhere for about 20 seconds, destroying everything.

The most striking search item I can think of is that after I few levels (I think level 2 but unsure) the game actually switches from being 3d to on it's side and the waves would come from the right in vertical lines.

There was no music from what I remember but the sound effects were quite eerie. The aliens would make all these strange sounds, and there was this computational style narrator who would say things if you got a powerup (Thing's like "power increased" but I don't remember exactly what he said).

I spent about an hour searching before I came here, and the closest picture to describe it is here - http://badgerheadgames.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/tapinvasionl6.png

Although it was much better graphics (as it was 3d) and there was nothing at the bottom (except your ship)

The game did have a score system and was very difficult (probably due to the 3d aspect), I never beat it nor got close.

I know it's a pretty long shot but I have to try:
-Old game,probably late 90s or early 2000s.
-Played on Windows.
-Adventure in first-person view.
-The player didn't "move", you just go from one scene (background) to another by mouse-clicking and also interact with various items and doors in that background, the rest of which was inert.
-The general theme gives a "mystic" impression.
-The initial part of the game that I did play takes place in a remote Hawaii-like island but with absolutely no people at all as far as I can remember.
-There were futuristic-looking structures and houses (abandoned) that didn't seem to fit, as if I had just time-traveled.
-The game's size was relatively large for its time, I remember it was contained in roughly 3-5 CDs.
-The CD label looked similar to an enlarged Sierra logo, or a moon with horizontal markings all over it.
