@togaclad: Sounds like another world or also known as out of this world.

Hi. I remember playing this on PC in 1992-1995.

The main character is a technician or scientist working on what looks like a particle accelerator. There is a lightning strike and something goes wrong and your off. I think your character gets "affected" by the reaction. It's very dark and gloomy.

You initially start as a side scroller.

The style of play changes as you progress; sometimes side scroller, platformer etc. It was the first time I saw a game with multiple styles of play and thought it was brilliant.

Hi. Searching a PC Game demo released between 1998-2001 (I think). The main character is a young male. It's set in a town in the desert, and you lose if the character goes to the desert, because he's killed by a monster or phantom (I don't recall). The demo ends when the character goes through a gate ( teleported). You can interact with the town people and you have a one hand C shape pistol with both ends glowing (useless against desert monster i think). The town people tells you the only way to leave the town is through the portal, because the monsters. Thanks

I am trying to look for a game that the Gomb Bomb East crew did while Austin was here.
It was a space game that took place on a station orbiting a star and all the individuals had schedules and such.

Does anyone know the identity of this game or does it exist at all?

Description: The game starts where there are maybe 6-8 characters around a table. The background was in a brown or orange room and you can see outside it was night-time. I believe it was storming with occasional lightning or it was raining. You input or solve something and a character does something similar to FFT (Final Fantasy Tactics) characters like Agrias or Gafgarion. Afterwards, I couldn't progress because I didn't know what to do so I dropped the game. This was during Blockbuster era.

Platform: It was on PlayStation (PSX/PSOne)

Year: From 1995-1999 (I was born in '93 so I had to be around 5 or 6 when I played this game).

Genre: Puzzle, JRPG

CD Color: The physical copy of the CD was white or platinum white, if that makes sense with the title in black font.

It's been bothering me for a long time and just need the closure.

So, this was an educational game that we played in my World Geography or possibly US History class in middle school in the late 90s. I think it was MS-DOS, but am not sure. I'm pretty sure it wasn't on an apple, but I can't be positive.

What I remember of the game:

• You were sailing a ship from Europe to the Americas.
• You used "sextant" readings at night by looking at the stars and seeing where the north star or southern cross was in the sky to find your latitude.
• You had to watch a sundial-like setup for the middle of the day to determine how many hours off noon was on the ship from the watch you set from where your ship launched. You used this to determine longitude.
• The sundial-type thing was animated and you had to be paying attention, because it would not replay.
• Weather was a factor, and cloud cover could mess with your navigational readings.
• The game was in color, and I'd guess probably 16-bit graphics, kind of equivalent graphics of the original SimCity.
• Little of the game was animated, and what was was limited.
• I don't remember if there were survival factors like Oregon Trail had (running out of supplies, things breaking, scurvy, etc.)

Please help! I'd like to use at least some of it with a I'm teaching now where we're discussing the history of navigation.

Thank you, all!

So there as an old game which i can’t remember the name for it , so it was like a small vehicle hovering over the ground and it has alot of different weapons like machine gun lasers rockets and you can even put mines on the ground there was like a different levels and you try to kill the enemy and there was even a thing you find that makes you like untargetable by the enemy it was an old game i used to play when windows xp was the latest version if possible please help me

I hope it's not too hard, 'cause I have very few memories of it.

The most I remember was that it was a 2D shooter, like megaman, metal slug or contra, however, unlike those three, I think you could use your mouse to shoot wherever you wanted, not just in front and upside you. I played it on PC

Other aspect was that, when you advance in the game, you can grab a couple of robotic/mechanic legs which helps you movilize.

I don't remember the scenery, but I remember it had a dark background, like it was dark the place where you were.

I don't remember the year either, however I think when I played it, it was before 2015, maybe even before 2010 but I'm not too sure about that.

Also, I'm still not sure about this, but I think you shoot lasers and the enemies you have to kill came to you in hordes.

This game is either Sega Saturn, Sega Dreamcast or a console around that time.

This game is an RPG

I played this in the early to late 90's

The main thing I can recall is at the opening of the game there is a character in a full cloak who has like a shield around him, you can only see like a circle around his feet. He is standing on like a precipice or hill and shoots a fireball at a dragon. He talks some about how it is time and then there are many more dragons and the scene fades with him shooting fireballs at the dragons but they are just too many. The only other thing I can recall is that it had pretty good graphics, but this could be deceptive because some sprite based games still look great today.

Little girl with a big sword in a schoolyard and cutting giant guys.

Art design: Black and White, but blood is red.

Protagonist: Like a anime girl

There is information about this game being released on CD from a gaming magazine(local one) 10-11 years ago.

Probably its a indie,demo or something.

Does anyone know the name of this game?

[FLASH][Fighting] [pixelated][2D][Destructive]

It was a flash game ,at the beginning of the game there's this guy who sits on his pc and then an ad pops up (i dont quite remember what it says): CLICK HERE IF YOU WANT TO BE THE MOST POWERFUL or stuff like that and he clicked on it which led to him being trained by scientists as an experiment then he becomes so powerful that he destroys citites and stuff.

I keep searching for this game, it has been more than 5 years since I started looking for it. The details are vague as I was young and English is not my native language so I couldn't remember much.

It was a platformer type game, similar to Angry Meat Boy in gameplay (NOT in visual style). Visual style was very sleek and simple, looking like a Flash game but I was playing it on my PC without an Internet connection, so I believe it was a standalone game.

Year: probably 2000-2005

Game: You were controlling a boy (wearing a red cap?) and you had to pass through different obstacle courses, you were also timed so you were encouraged to speed run. Each level had like a beach theme, so from what I remember the background was either the sea, the sky or the beach, sometimes the sunset with beautiful colors. I'm not sure but I believe the movement would feel a bit like Angry Meat Boy, probably could wall jump. The game was either called or had the words 'beach, summit, summer, sunset' in it.

Please help me for the love of God and gaming.

I've been trying to find this game for forever and I'm starting to think it was a fever dream lmao

So the style is a type of cartoon but in an artsy style?

You start out as an newly dead man(I'm pretty sure his name was Jack) and you're in this dark area with a dude on a boat that you need to get on but to proceed you need two dead mans coins so you go over up a hill and open a coffin to get them either off your own body or a skeleton I don't remember

The other part I remember is you're in a belly of a whale and there's a bu ch of people one of the quests is a guy wants a stronger drink so you have to make it our of the whales bile and give it to him

I also remember something about ghost pirates

I remember playing it on a Playstation I believe it was a ps2 but I can be wrong I played this game when I was really little and my uncle showed me I loved it dearly and am desperate to find it

I am looking for a really, really old game. I don't think it was released by a formal publisher. I remember it was 2D and there were these pools of purple resevoirs in various places on the map. The "characters" looked like yellow cups with a green circle that was kind of like a marker (I think it was green) and you had different types of them, some of them would move from the resevoir, collect some of the purple and then moved it back to your base and it would do that continuously. That gave you resources which you could then use to build more collectors or you could build soldiers, some were tanky with a short range of attack and others didn't have as high of an attack, but had a larger range. I also remember there were towers as well.

It was very, very simply graphics. I remember the towers being mostly a yellow color. It's a single player game. I know there was an enemy, I think you could only tell because it was a different color. It's a single-player offline game. I feel like I remember downloading it from a website that might have been in German or Dutch.

I also feel like I remember playing this not too long after playing Nanosaur so I'm talking a really old game. I feel like it was Pupur or Purpur or something like that, but I haven't been able to find anything by using those names so now I'm not sure. Any ideas?

There's a mobile game that I cannot remember the name of for the life of me. I used to play it on iOS, I believe. You controlled the Techno Trousers from Wallace and Gromit, and you could adjust the angle the legs moved at. It's similar to Daddy Long Legs, but it was polygon graphics and fun as anything. Anyone else know what I'm talking about?

Trying to find an english educational PC game from the early 90's. I played it sometime before Little Big Planet (1994). It was a mystery game focused on a pre-teen girl trying to find a lost family member (maybe her sibling?) that had been kidnapped by a mysterious individual called "the man in black". The game was point-click game set in an english town. From what I remember the backgrounds were pre-rendered. You searched for clues and witness reports from town folks, trying to pin down info on the kidnapper or the last wherabouts of your family member. I never got far into the game, the few locales I distinctly remember was: a pub, a street outside with a woman and her trolley, a building with an office room. You chose different dialogue options when speeking to towns folk, exhausted their dialogue options. During the adventure you picked up different key items that could be used to trigger events, so a typical point-click adventure. The whole feeling was Cluedo. For all you knew, anyone you spoke to could be the supposed kidnapper. I have always wondered how the story ends and who actually was the kidnapper or "the man in black" (atleast that is the wording I remember).

Hello my friend is trying to remember a game she said is similar to Horizon zero dawn, she played it on pc and she said that it starts in a spaceship then the character gets caught interfering in the ship according to the storyline then the main character falls to earth somehow and the crawled his way somehow to a forest, it's a third person game with a lot of guns and the mc had a full iron and kinda a baggy armor, it's not really obvious if the mc is a male or female though hopes this helps and someone knows the name of the game Please

@rexrox3: Glad I could help! I was more of a Treasure Mountain/Mathstorm kid, but bouncing lasers in an ancient temple did ring a bell.

@spunkyhepanda: Yes! I even feel kinda dumb for struggling so much for so many years haha. I just had a call with my dad and he is super happy. Thanks a lot!

@rexrox3: Super Solvers: Challenge of the Ancient Empires?

Hi guys.

This is a beloved childhood game. I'll be as descriptive as I can and I'll also mention what details I'm not sure about. My Google keyword searches have yielded no results. My hopes are honestly low, but if someone manages to identify this game I'll be forever grateful!

-Platform and context

I played this game on a Windows 98 computer around 2004, so it must be older than that year. It's a 2D side-view puzzle, adventure, platformer game. I guess it was for all ages, since it was relatively colorful and not scary nor violent.

I'm almost certain the Windows 98 version I played was a port (I'm not sure if official). This computer of ours also had Super Mario World (1991, SNES) and Super Mario Bros. Allstars (1993, SNES). So, my best guess is that my father bought diskettes with games on them and that way he installed them on the computer (I don't know if that was actually a thing). If my port theory is correct, I have no idea of what the original platform was nor the country it was developed in.

Sadly I'm not knowledgeable in videogame graphics throughout the decades, so I can't make an educated guess of the game's release date nor its bits-resolution.

I obviously have not recollection of the game's title. My father insists it was called "Explorer", but I doubt that was the whole name or if that word really appears on the original title in the first place. Probably that was only the executable's name on our computer, but who knows.

I also don't remember the plot at all, but must've been pretty simple. Could be rescuing a princess, looking for a treasure... anything. Or maybe nothing. I'm pretty sure there were no dialog boxes at any point of the game.

-Looks

I have no memories of a title card, logo or start screen. If there was a box cover art, I never saw it. I think the icon on the computer was the player's head.

I don't remember the playable character's appearance very well. I thiiiink it was red, blue and gray, and they were wearing some sort of helmet with two spikes on the sides pointing back and upwards diagonally. There was no higher-res render or sprite of the main character, I don't think you ever get to see their face (at least in-game!), unless their so-called helmet really was their face and I never figured its shape out.

The setting is some sort of temple ruins. It's in a jungle, if I remember correctly. The primordial color you look at the entire game is a brownish yellow from the temple's bricks. My best way to define the color palette is "rich". Colors not too muted but also not full of striking tones, like the characteristic highly saturated pinks, greens or blues of even older games. The background was usually the temple's yellow brick walls, not the sky or a black background like in other games.

The screen wasn't covered by any sort of HUD if I remember correctly. There were no lives nor health bar.

I have no memory of damage or death animations.

-Music and sound design

I guess trying to describe this is pretty useless information.

I remember the music was catchy, but that's pretty much it. Enemies shooting, pressing buttons and opening doors were very iconic, satisfying sounds, I would immediately recognize them if I hear them again.

-Gameplay

Like I mentioned, this game had action, adventure, platforming and puzzle elements. In general, I would say it was mid to slow-paced, not very hard and fairly short, since my dad and I (4-5 years old at the time) would manage to finish it in one sitting.

The progression was from left to right and mostly linear, but I remember that there were some rooms you could fall into from above (it was no huge Metroid-like map, of course). The screen didn't pan following the player; the player would move out of view and the camera would switch to that next room or section. The player was able to return to previous rooms, they weren't "eaten out" by the camera. There was no fall damage in the game.

Also I don't really remember what happens when the player "dies" or "loses". I guess it only moved you back to the start of the screen you were at.

There was no hub world or level selection.

The player could move around with the arrow keys, I don't think the mouse and other keys were used at all.

The most vivid detail I can recall is that one of the enemies were spiders that shoot rays of spider web at you, which you must avoid.

Another detail was pressing buttons on the floor. Also, I kinda remember there being sections were you could point some sort of lasers or light beams that would bounce on walls and ceiling into targets. After doing it correctly, doors would open and you could progress further.

I might be imagining this, but I think the ending is when the player reaches the top exit of the ruins and you get a view of the jungle you're in.

-KEYWORDS:

Temple/ruins, platforming, puzzles, explorer (?), spiders

-This game DIDN'T have:

Gore, horror, spaceships or aliens, dinosaurs, pirates or boats

Thank you again to anyone taking the time to make suggestions and ask questions. I'll try to answer as soon as possible!

The game i am thinking of was a game i played off the internet back in sometime around 2007-2010. It was a pirate kind of game where you could customize/upgrade your ship and do missions for people while you sail around the map. It was a point and click while sailing and then at ports it was all just 2d pictures(good quality too the art style was realistic.) As far as i know the game was only on pc. I also think there were a few games that were very similar i assume the same company made them.

What's the name of that medieval action/adventure/platforming NES game (which I haven't played since childhood nor gotten far) a bit similar to Wizards & Warriors III (in how you jump from raised buildings to another), and the bottom area having some sort of entrance to an underground cave/tunnel you can't get past (or maybe just not yet) due to some obstacle (I don't remember if that was a deadly inanimate object or monster, and forgot whether such obstacle either flickered or had a fully shining light around it, but touching or walking into it hurts you), yet the direction you go when walking in that blocked & closed area is a "positive slope" (downwards)? That's all I remember. I forgot whether the protagonist was an armored knight or a hooded guy. List as many games possible that my fuzzy details are reminiscent of, and then I'll search that title's gameplay screenshots on Google Images, or gameplay footage on YouTube (only if Google Images fails). Thanks so much in advance, all precious nostalgists. P.S. I also forgot whether all the high buildings were treehouses, separate castles, or a single castle with multiple areas. Just a part in Wizards & Warriors III seemed reminiscent of what it's like to reach multiple high house-ish platforms, but it's been too long to remember enough. I tried looking up games I've barely remembered, and lucked out on finding other games that I wanted to retry since I'm not too dumb anymore, including MagMax (which took me way too longer to find than the other following two), Karnov, and Blaster Master. Now this other game I need help remembering, so I'd know which ROM to download and eventually win without any curfews in my way. I'll become a prouder person after that, because AVGN doesn't hate those.

I remember a flash game when I was a kid, like in the 2009, 2011, 2012 or 2013 i dont really know

Is a flash game where you eat donuts in an office while someone is chasing you, like a nerd office, it was detailed pixel art If i'm not wrong and also the camera was in a cenital plane

You can grab special donuts so you can do a wedgie to the nerd office, but also the nerd can call the boss and the boss will chase you with a really curious sounds, i can't describe it

And thats all what can i say about it, and when you lose the game, you become exactly like the nerd office

PC game from around 2006-2008. I think probably a CD ROM game. I remember it being a really colourful adventure style game that was perhaps open world? It might have been set in a desert, the grouns was wavey and moved and I think changed colours. The ground was quite pixelated I think. There were also different buildings you could go into, one of which was a music studio where you could make music in different genres (RAP, R&B). One of them was an art studio. There was an evil guy but I don’t remember much about him. There was a boss battle against him. I think there was music playing throughout the game that was quite serene and peaceful. the main character was a human, and I think you could pixk between being a boy or a girl

I posted this in it's own thread but I don't know how long that'll stay up if this is the place to ask such questions.

From what I can remember, it was either a genesis game or early 32-bit console game, but could be anything really.

It featured a pretty crudely rendered space station, navigated from a human first person perspective, the map seemingly algorithmically generated and mainly consisting of corridors with doors with numbers and letters, which would sometimes have an NPC in them you could talk to with a dialog tree. The goal of the game was obscure but the crew playing it had a hard time navigating and I think it has something to do with getting to the engine room in the video.

I also remember it being either published or developed by psygnosis, but after extensive searching I'm at a loss.

Any idea which game this might be, bonus points of somebody can find the feature it was included in?

@darkwanderer15: Could this one be Conquests of Camelot? It was an adventure game that had you seeking out hte Grail. Would have been from abou the time period you're describing.

Hi !

I’m looking for this game i played on PC during the years 2000’S / early 2010’s.

It was a point’n’click adventure. The style was 2D and cartoonish (not pixelated). The camera follows the character scene to scene, from the side. It’s static when in a scene and doesn’t move around. It was puzzle based in the sense that the character picked objects to give it to the right person or put it in the right place.

The game follows a teenage character (boy? Short spiky hair, a shirt and baggy pants) and we had to interact with multiple characters who were different monsters/ supernatural creatures. It was very kid friendly, so not horror, but if I remember correctly there were at least zombies and a werewolf (maybe a vampire?). We had to help them in their quest; I think one was stuck behind bars. One of the quests I remember was to use metallic objects to create a network, and and we had to find tin cans to spread across different locations and grid the neighbourhood for the device. I never finished the game because I was missing one of those tin cans.

If it matters, I’m French and played the game in French at the time.

I’m not sure how popular this game was but I can’t find it anywhere.

Thanks in advance!

Final Fantasy 15

Alright this is an ABSOLUTE shot in the dark but, i was talking to a friend about these old computer games i used to play and i could not for the life of me remember this ones name

I used to play this game in the early 2000s maybe around 2007 (just a guess)

it was an online pc game where you would travel around this town and go do mini games and chat with other people and create your own little avatar.

as you did these different mini games you would gain experience and once you gained enough you would level up and the way they showed that was you would get older, so a cake would come on the screen with your new age and you'd be able to explore more of the town because you leveled up.

unfortunately this is all that i can remember from the game as i was like 11 playing it but i do know for sure it was only on the computer and it was definitely a web browser game.

Hi guys,

For years, I have been thinking of this particular game on-and-off but could never manage to find it on Google, etc.

It has this guy in sort of like a spacesuit, exploring this underground cavern (? I think?), perhaps in the future on Earth or in another world. I think he's looking for water. And somehow, the word 'grail' ties in to this game, but it's not Monty Python though; that seems to be the general consensus Google comes up with. Oh, and it came out in around maybe 1996? 1997?

Appreciate all the help I could get! Sorry I can't think of more description, I don't even remember much of the game. Cheers.

Hi Guys,

I'm trying to find an very old game i played around 2000/2001 on tv console the one with diskette, i think it was NES or something like that. So you had multiple figurines(cards) and you had to move them on a map, damaging the enemies, you had turns and multiple figurines/cards to control. I remember that the text was in japanese or chinese. From the first day i broke the case so i remember it was a really big chip :)).

Thank you,

Alright, so this is very vague but it used to be my favourite game as a child so maybe it's worth a shot:

It was a puzzle game with the intent to escape what was probably an old factory. I think there were two games in the series, and one of them ended with a white tunnel leading outside (that I think might have started as a circle or a cube and then changed its shape as the pov moved forwards through it). I think one of them started on the roof of the factory, at night.

It was a first person POV type of games, and there were several rooms that you needed to pass through in order to finish the game. In each room there were puzzles you had to solve. I don't remember the game having an story or plot behind other then being stuck in that factory and having to escape but I might be wrong.

Unfortunately that's all I have... Hope someone can help me! This game is one of my best childhood memories:)

I'm 27 now and I trying to remember a game I played when I was very young. It was a 2d platformer I played on Windows XP. I didn't know how to read then so I have no idea what its name was.

You played as 3 characters, one every level and then each of them again until the game was finished I think, but I never finished it. It was cartoonish, I think it had a Looney Tunes vibe, really wacky and funny for a kid, but not necessarily with the same characters.

What I do remember is that the first levels were on a ship, then later in the game the ship sank and you'd be somewhere in the arctic, you could see the ship sinking in the distance and made your way to safety jumping on pieces of ice and afterwards in some kind of castle.

Also I remember you could attack using the space bar and the 3 characters had some melee weapons one of them had a baseball bat and another a hammer.

And there were some collectible items, I remember one of them was a piece of chocolate cake which had something to do with health. And there was some item which had a small sprite in the form of an old tv and that unlocked some kind of mini game.

Hey Guys :)

I have been stuck on this for literally years.

What I remember about the game is that it was in the Apple App Store somewhere around 2014, maybe a bit earlier or later. It’s a mobile game where you have to defend a point from incoming trucks and/or tanks. you would do this by tapping the screen which would shoot rockets to wherever you tapped and you’d have to time it so the rockets would hit the trucks. It was a more or less top down game with a military theme and different type of rocket launchers you could switch between. The enemies would come in waves (I think) and each level comprised of a few waves.

I used to play this game with a childhood friend of mine all the time on our familys ipad and it’s been driving me crazy because I can’t figure out the name for the life of me, so this is probably mine last chance to ever find it. Any help would be much appreciated! :)

PC horror game related to insomnia/sleep paralysis and cinderella

I think the game was about a white haired girl who had some kind of sleep paralysis and/or insomnia problem and she had to survive the night while scary versions of her stepmothers stalked her (thats why i thinks it was based on the cinderella story, but im not really sure).

The unique thing you can do in the game is move your camera while you are in bed, and you can click on things to recover sanity/life (wich was represented as a heart that gets covered with thorny branches), and you had to move your camera to deal with the stepmothers. I know that the game has/had a steam page.

computer game where you develop a city Its this. Big map. Very simplistic.

And it has like little. Colorful people avatars that u drop on places??? and the colors mean stuff you can do

I'm trying to find an old 2D game of mummy's.

I remember it was a kind of platform maze where u should find your way going up/down through some stairs, to catch a sword that u could throw on the mummy to kill it. And u have to get a key or some other object to go to the next phase. I remember to play it on PC, and probably was Windows Millennium, and I thing the year was 2000 ou 2002.

And it looks a lot like this link.

https://www.indiedb.com/games/baby-mummys-curse/videos/ell3tjock-plays-baby-mummys-curse

That's all I remember.

I hope someone can help me.

This was an arcade game I remember playing back in the 90s. It was a beat-em-up style game the character was a male and you could make out with girls and I remember there was like a tagging on the wall that was a mouth where if you went up to it, it would heal you by licking you. Game was kinda pervy

Help me find this childhood game. 90s until before 2004.

It's not Battle City!

Probably NES or Master System game. Top down vision like Super Contra Area 2. A tank walking around large maps. It has a weak attack that fire half moon shaped energy. It has a strong attack that fire a big energy ball from the cannon and kicks the tank back a little. There's a power up that is a circle like machine that follows me and protects from enemy's fire.

I remember a boss where there's a large hole between the tank and him and we need to shoot each other.
