I'm looking for an old fast-paced isometric action/arcade hack&slash RPG PC game. Must be from around 2000. It was rather humorous. You could play co-op. I remember a mage and an archer. The characters had funny voices, I remember one being 'Two for me, none for you' when you quickly looted a lot and your team mate got nothing. Graphics were pretty nice with lots of effects I think. I only played the demo and that was inside an old castle or something. Short action-packed levels.

Edit: it's not Nox. That comes closest, but it's still far from it: the one I'm looking for is more cartoonish, smaller guys, even much faster and more action-packed.
Bumping this...

I have been wracking my brain for hours trying to remember this arcade game...

It was a fantasy side scroll / platormer / rpg. I seem to remember it having 3 or 4 "classes" much like gauntlet. And you could climb vines and such. You could buy potions and weapons and armor and such. You might have even been able to level your character in some crude manner. The graphics I'm remembering are probably early to mid 90s with lots of green (trees, forests, etc). It had a definite start and end. I think the rogue character was female but can't swear to it.

Think it had a one word title too...

That's about the only things I can remember about it aside from that I spent a LOT of money on it to finish it.
Hmm. My first guess (considering the one-word title) would be Lightbringer [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_s9f3FMVKcg] (a.k.a Dungeon Magic).

Otherwise (but probably a longer shot), I'd guess either one of Capcom's Dungeons & Dragons games - D&D: Tower of Doom [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=axBRSw0gDWk] or D&D: Shadow Over Mystara [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8alVk4Zi5A0].

Unfortunately none of those. Lightbringer is very japanese and this was (if I am remembering correctly) western for the most part. I don't remember it being quite as "beat-em-up" as the D&D games either but the memory IS a couple decades old at least so...

I *think* it was a one word name. And I think the last part of the game you were trying to get to the top of a tower to kill the big-bad. I also think it was a one person game. I don't think you could have two people playing at the same time.

i have a PC game that i dont remember the name of
i remember i played it arownd 2004-2007 but i think its older
there are 3 races you start off whit humans you have a jetpack and your main character looks like a halo character,
after compeating some missions you get to play whit naga (the second race)
its 3d not perfect graphics something class "quake 3"
im not 100% shure if it was a fps or action categorized,im allso not 100% on this: i think it was only 1 word and it starts whit A and finishes whit S (as multiple,manny).

And one ps1 game :
fighting you go and fight mobs and on the end of each lvl you fight a boss,4 characters to chose from,last few levels your in a submarine trying to stop the bad guys to destroy the world,
on the before last boss you brake her leg and she crows to a laptop and starts some cowntdown ,than she dies and you fight the last boss her man.
first boss is infront of a fountan,there are 2 more gays whit him and hes realy big.
is similar to fighting force series but its not the game.
probably i played that in 1999-2002.

I'd say the first game might be "Giants: Citizen Kabuto" (2000).
https://www.gog.com/game/giants_citizen_kabuto
yes thats the game 10x man
the only thing left is the ps1 game if someone can remember the name of it it will be great

One of the Gauntlet games, maybe? Dark Legacy or Legends?

Not PC though... but it might help narrow down the gameplay or style

Ok, so I only created a account for this sole purpose. I remember a game I played probably around 2008 is the best I can remember (it probably isn't even right). So it goes like this, it was a fishing game where you played as a yellow character. Somewhere on the screen, there was a fishbowl with a bar in it which had the color red, yellow, and green (I think). There was also a arrow moving color to color. When the arrow landed on green, you had to tap the screen (it was a app). If it landed on green, you get a fish. You could get many fishes and grow your aquarium. That was all that I can remember. It would be awesome if you could help me find what it was called.

Hello all, just made an account to find the name of an old game I have been searching for for quite a while. You all seem to be a smart and helpful bunch, so hopefully you can assist me completing this, my seemingly eternal quest.

The game in question was installed on a Windows 95 PC and I think didn't actually require a disk to play it (it was pre-installed/ready-to-play on the machine), but may have been on one at some point. The game I think was a sci-fi/space first-person shooter game, and I think I remember being guided along a possibly-protected path (mentioned later) by a female (computer?) voice through the level that I remember (perhaps a tutorial level?).

For the level I think the player starts off guided and without any weapons initially, being introduced to gameplay/story elements and especially the enemies (akin to Halo CE). I think the level took place outside on a orange/red-coloured planet surface (mars or hell possibly? - kind of like Doom) and the player is guided along a path where he can observe enemies (with relative safety) from behind transparent/invisible shield walls or glass on either sides (like an aquarium viewing tunnel), safe from enemies getting through and projectile damage.

I believe the enemies were aliens or demons (similar looking to Doom/Duke Nukem 3D base enemies in my head) and that they were in battle with each other or (more likely) human soldiers on the planet surface (humans likely were inevitably slaughtered). Furthermore I believe I recall that the player could interfere by walking through the shields/glass out into the battlefield (with the female voice perhaps warning you not to or telling you off for doing so), but the enemies were very dangerous/quick to kill, possibly because you may have not been able to defend yourself without a weapon of your own.

That's about all I remember from the game, but feel free to give suggestions and ask me questions if you can. Thank you all and good luck with the search! All help will be much appreciated. :)

I remember playing a browser game on a site called (sbgames) or (sdgames). It doesn't exist anymore, so I came here. The game was a 8-bits RPG where you had a pink guy as your character. You had to uncover all the map by fighting in caves and killing the bosses. The bosses would appear only sometimes, and you had to stay grinding at the caves for a long time. The map had probably 16 sections, and some areas had secret caves. Your character walks to where your mouse is and he attacks (makes his sword go from vertical to horizontal) by left clicking. You could also personalize your weapon, by making her slim or fat, long or short, and could also enchant her with Fire, Ice, Thunder, Dark, Light and other things. I remember also that in the short / long stuff, you could make your sword go through all the map, since it could grow imensily.

Thanks guys!

I spent years trying to find those 2 games... one is pretty easy (I guess). Second one is hard as I don't remember much...

1. I remember Demo version of this game. You were controling a character in black suit in a round-shaped city and you couldn't leave it due to Demo version (there was a barricade at the entrance/exit). One thing I remember most was camera locked usually in top view of the area, so you were kinda moving like in adventure games. There were also guns and you could start a nice Riot but usually Guards got you in the end. Graphic were early 3D models with but quite good (guess ~2001y game).

2. Second is hard as I remember barely a scratch, but its inside of my head for last 10 years. A game where I was flying a huge wasp-robot above jungle and then crashed to change into another robot-insect. Game's graphic was very similar to Star Craft I but a bit worse.

Wish I could find those 2 last games of my childhood (Already found 3 out of 5 games that I posted here).

Hello.

I saw this thread a couple of days ago and was wondering if a certain game is sauce-able just from the information I've got.

The game I remember very vaguely, it was a demo version of the game in a disk, something simillar to the NES ones (altho with actually different games not different saves).

It was a sci-fi 3rd person game with a story line going on (neither of which do I remember) and literally all that I remember is that it had weird physics so that you can send npc's around with one of the "weapons" and the most importnat thing that I remember is that at the end of the first level you pee'd in a well so that you poison the entire factory in which the story takes place.

If someone sauces this it would be a work of god simply because of the amount of information I have to offer. Time when I played the game would've been something near 2007.

Thank you so much in advance.

Hello, i remember game that i was playing in 2008 i think(i'm not sure). It was a pixel game. I've forgotten what character there was. I remeber that the enemies were mouses, ghosts, rocket launchers(on walls i think). There was bonuses(i know there were hearts but i think that there were diffrent bonuses) There was also a lot of ladders(red color). In level 6 there was the first boss-dark rectangle and you were supposed to kill him by pressing some kind of buttons when he was turned to other direction and when he was on the other side of the platform. Second boss was in level 10 and it was some kind of fireball i think(i was there only two times and i've never made it). I'm searching for this game for a really long time so if someone think that he knows it, please tell me. Thanks.

Ok. This one has been baffling me for YEARS!
I remember this old game it MAY have been for MS-DOS but it was definitely on a computer...Mac? It was a point and click adventure or problem solving type game?
You could move around and the screen moved slowly but smoothly while looking. You could pick up items to get out of area's or solve a puzzle.
I remember the game was on a floppy disk but not the hard plastic ones, the old ones that were in a black papery sleeve.
I almost want to say it was similar to what others have mentioned: Journeyman Project and Myst.

It might have even been an educational game?
I haven't played the game since I was about 8 (now 24) so the details are BEYOND fuzzy...
I think the graphics were like actual pictures? as in it didn't look animated.
I can recall a room with a lot of white with some sort of spherical object in the center that you could interact with.

This one might be wrong but I might have had to type in commands to do things...IE: Search "insert here" Open "insert here" etc


I'm going to be back tracking through this post in hopes to help others on our endless quests!

Yeah, that's why I cant seem to find it lol
Those games are far too cartoony from what I can remember.
I'm pretty certain that it wasn't that popular of a game

**Edit: adding info**

So like Journeyman Project III how it has the robot to drop hints. This game had someone similar to that but was horribly condescending in tone whenever he spoke. I believe there was a hint system or he just talked whenever you messed up/did something you can't. He also had an accent...British possibly?

It's so similar to Journeyman III it's not funny -_- I checked thoroughly through that series though and it isn't it.
It was on 8 inch or 4 inch floppy disk. Not the 3 inch hard disk
