The "Can't remember the name of this game" Thread v3.0

I've also consulted another forum, but I'm going to try my luck here as they had no clue so far.

- Platform was either PC or N64

- Genre: racing

- Probably late 90's to maybe 2005

- You could choose between these aircraft-like types of vehicles

- It was not normal racing, as you had to fly

- No pickups (I think)

- It felt pretty arcady

- There was a sauzer-like ship, also another one I remember had a green and yellow paintjob

- One level was a canyon, with a few tunnels in it

- A game that feels a lot like this one is AeroGauge for the N64, the ships in the one I'm looking for were less futuristic though

- It's not a game from the F-Zero or Wipeout series

Machine Hunter, loved that game.

Someone on a dutch forum got it! It was 'Slipstream 5000'

Hey guys, there's I've played this PC game from early to mid 2000 that I couldn't remember the name. So the lemme describe:

-The game is some kind of political simulation, you control a dude that talks to other dude.

-Game starts with some questionnaire.

-Sets in a fictitious post-soviet collapse fake-slavic state.

-Story start with something about your parents got kill? Killer is a dictator/president of aforementioned state.

-You try get support and members for your political party.

Those are the only thing I could remember, any help would be awesome.

I'm searching for a spy game that was released for the PC roughly 10 years ago(maybe).

- Could have been the second or third game in the series

- Took place in WW2, you were an Allied spy up against Nazis

- You could steal uniforms; however, the higher ranking officers could spot you out if you tried to impersonate other officers

- I believe it was very Hitman like...

- A.I. was not partially great, it was easy to get them to talk one-by-one into a room and simply let the bodies pile up.

1. I believe it was ~10 years ago

2. PC

3. It was a spy / stealth / shooter type game

4. I remember the reviews being middling (at best) and specifically recall a video review on Gamespot.

Thanks in advance for you time and brain power!

Could it be Prisoner Of War?

I don't remember much. I was very young. I played it on a floppy disc. It was an adventure game, I think there were maybe 2 playable characters? I remember one of them possibly being blue, and the only thing I remember was a statue that was peeing.

Not a lot to go on.

so the game im looking for :

Genre: spaceship, shooter(a spaceship has to shoot), abit of puzzle, platform(newer than DOS, i think windows xp)

the screen is above the ship and the ship can go in any direction. i remember that in some maps there where machines that create aircurrents that push the ship around. i dont remember how to pass a map i think by driving the ship over a button!!!

its a bit similar to "zaxxon" but way newer and the screen was farther and it was top view.

one partecular map the air currents created a "sink whole" and the buttons where at the corner of the map!!

i played this game after i formated my pc to windows xp, and i think its a mini game but dont remember!!!

please can anyone help me!!! thanks in advance!!

@thunderslash: OMG man, thx, you really have no idea how hard I was trying to remember. many thx

I'm hoping someone knows this game...

It was either late 90s early 2000, it was on the pc and it was very much like pokemon where you caught monsters and fought with them vs other people/monsters.

I think you started off inside a crystal forest of some sort.

If anyone thinks they know the game or can give me a hint it would be very appreciated

Thank You

Hello, I am a new here and I am desperate finding one game I use to play long a go. Sorry for noob mistakes in advance. I hope someone of you will help me :)

It is a platform game, action genre. I played it in 1998. on PC. It has approximately 10 levels.

You play as a man handling gun struggling his way to final boss. First level you start in town, battling with some aliens/creatures. Second level is an some construction site. Third level is in the forest (here you can have assistance from some levitating head sized robot who shots at your enemies). Eventually at the end, you meet boss who is a some kind of doctor/scientist in laboratory complex (last level). He turns in some kind of monster (I think he turns into some bib monster boar???remembering guess)

Any help is appreciated. Thank you all.

@immortal_guy:

OH MY GOD YES!!

Its Jade Cocoon :DDD

I love you hahaha :D thanks mate <3

Been looking for this for aaaages. Thanks once again :D

@emilee:No problem. Glad to know I was right :)

So I have 2 that I have no hope of getting figured out.

The first one was a FPS from the 90's for the computer. It was normal people, and I believe the very start of it was in a train station. I remember the first thing is you are at the top of a set of stairs and at the bottom are your first enemies to shoot. (I really don't remember much else)

The second game was a free world car game again for the PC around the mid to late 90s. I could have sworn it was called Route 66 but apparently it's not. You got like an old GTO to drive (if I remember) and you could drive around a very vast area. (I never played the missions, mostly just drove off cliffs to make my car explode) There was an online mode also. I think the only mission I remember any of, was that it involved a bus...

Sorry it's not much. :S Any help would be great, cuz I would LOVE to play them again lol.

@ms_kitteh

Second game sounds like Interstate '76.

OH! It was! Awesome! Thank you sooo much!

Also after going through Wiki for every FPS game I finally found it. It was Soldier of Fortune :D

I think this could be Republic: The Revolution. Not 100% sure though.

RESOLVED!

Okay, this one is next to driving me insane, so I would be soooo happy if someone could get it for me.

I used to play it as a kid, and I'm 17 now, so I was between 3 and 7. Idon't remember which console, but I can guarantee it wasn't computer. I'm pretty sure it wasn't a disc, but no guarantees. I'm pretty sure it was an RPG, but not certain.

The gameplay starts with you on a boat. You have to go around and talk to everyone I'm pretty sure. Then someting happened, like the boat crashed or exploded or something. Then something would appear on the screen, like death or a black logo or something. And later on in the game You'd fight things.

Another thing I remember is that it didn't have autosave which used to drive me nuts. If anyone can get it, I owe you my life! K go!

There's another game I remember. I think it was out between 2000 and 2004. I think it was an rpg. I also think it was on ps2 or ps1.

I only have faint memories, but I remember you swing on a vine past a guy who's selling upgrades that you have to go back to buy later on in the game. Also, you have to use items you get from people to go further in the game. For example, you get a mask and a paddle and you use it to get over a lake or a river.

That's all I remember, please help!

Loadstar: The Legend of Tully Bodine

Gameplay starts at 10:50

I played this demo of some game when I was younger. As far as I can remember, it was a sci-fi first person game. It kinda reminded me of Deus Ex. You woke up, in a deserted lab (maybe you were experimented on, maybe you were a cyborg or something), and you went around exploring, no guns if memory serves me right. Then you get some kind of tool to open doors? And after that you can exit the lab through some tunnel and there are rats maybe. Post '99, pre 2003-2004 or something around those lines. On PC.

This is the only old game I can't seem to find any traces of.

Hello. Looking for names of 2 PC games, around 2000 year.

1. Full 3D shooter, pretty standard by genre

• main enemy - armored, straight walking lizards(green, yellow, red)
• setting - abandoned ancient ruins
• in hard reaching places, can "save children", near this places distinctive crying can be heard
• remember swimming in water through fence gap in one of first levels

2. Logic game

• view from top, field of square tiles, looks basic
• control "cart" (square with some wheels on sides), takes one tile
• move around with this card, active lasers, mirrors, switches in right order and time to go further
• avoid enemies (cant remember, can they shoot or nor) - same cart like yours, moving in determine paths
• for some reason, remember word "swift", has it part on game name or game concept...

Looking for these game in years, can anyone help me? thanks in advance.

Alundra?

Hi there,

Ok this has been bugging me for years;

My older step-brother brought his mega-drive to our house around the early 90's, probably 1991-ish. I remember loving a game that was 1 vs 1 space ship battles. Each ship, of which there probably 8 to choose from, had its own stats and a special weapon. My brother always played as a large red coloured ship that looked like an ocotopus or something and fired little limpet mines that stuck to your ship and slowed your speed etc. I always chose a little green ship whose special move made it teleport around the screen (seemingly at random).

Needless to say my brother owned me every match.

Any help would be awesome, hope I have remembered the sparse details correctly.

@macksujin: Was it Star Control?

Gameplay

THATS IT!!! Thanks duder :) thats my weekend sorted

YES! Thank you so much!

@pilaris: I manage to find it :D, very happy. The game is called Bio Menace.

This may be a tough one since I don't have too many details about this game. I want to know which game it was because I only remember having lots of fun playing it.

It was for the SNES.
Single-player (I believe, since I don't remember ever playing multiplayer).
2D-Platform game

And well, I remember I controlled some weird "being" that ran all over a city. I say city because the only scene I remember is running in a street and running over cars.

That's it. Sorry I don't have more details besides that I had lots of fun playing it.

Helloooo!! I'm desperate to find out what this game was called, hopefully I'll remember enough about it!

I played it back I the 90s on the PC game, I'm pretty sure the main character was a mouse (NOT Mickey Mouse) and it was mainly based on a ship / boat. It was in a platform style so you mainly jumped around. You could go into the kitchen and in the mechanics room, on the deck, the lounge etc. You had to collect coins and special objects, I remember you could also jump on objects such as jelly In the kitchen to make you do cool stuff. It really was an awesome game!! Please help me find it, I really want to play it again! Thank youuuu

This has been annoying me for ages now. It was early 2000's when I played this but I think it was passed drown by a family member. I don't remember what it was on but this is all I remember.

I think you played as a man and there were other people.

It was 2D

The main thing I remember is you had a stick or something that could talk and you threw it to solve puzzles or hit people I think.

I also remember putting in a code would take you to a random level or something.

I think the characters name may have been rachet but I'm not sure. I know it's not rachet and clank.

Can anyone help me it's annoying me now?

That sounds like Turok 2: Seeds of Evil to me, seems too obvious but that could be it.

Maui Mallard?

Sorry for the bump, but I really need dis :S

Sounds vaguely like Tomba, except I don't remember there being a shop juxtaposed between vines - and you don't need a paddle to cross the river.

Hi guys! I'm looking for the name of an old PC game which I played around 1993.

It was an early 3D spaceship simulator, the controlled spaceship was flying over a base on another planet. You could not fly too high, because your power got too weak and started to fall down. So you had to stay close to special tower buildings (something like lighthouses with a lighting sphere or dome at the top). If you flied close to them, your power was filled and you get extra thrust. There were some other enemy spaceships flying around, and you had to shoot them with big lighting sphere-shaped bullets. The athmosphere was dark blue and purple and black. Your spaceship was kinda triangle shaped.

Thanks if you have an idea about which game was it.

Hello guys, I would be soooo happy if you could help me :) This game have jus come to my mind, and let me down :D you know what I'm talking about!

-This game has a strange name, probably Japanese

-It played it - I guess - 4-5 years ago

-In this game, you have two dummies(both were white) and you could click onto their parts and give the part a command(example to bend or to pull his arm)

-The menu was simple, the background was white as well, so it was a simple game, nevertheless so genious!

-The goal was to beat, or to kill the other body, or just to make an awesome fight scene

-With the spacebar you could move the time on

Please let me know if you have a hint :) Thank you in anticipation!! :) I love ya, u r awesome!!

Bubble and Squeak on the Amiga?

Or ... Gobliins 2?

Gobliins 2! That's it.

I realise this one may have been answered in the three years since you asked, but just in case ... Dojo Dan?

Bubba and Stix?

Hey guys hope you can help me out with this one cos I am stumped.

Its a PC game I played in the early to mid 90's

You fly what i remember to be either a jet or some sort of space ship and its very similar to the view of star fox 64.

After you complete the flying part you then enter a base or something similar, the character gets out and then the game becomes third person.

Only part I remember after that is you have to avoid obstacles while navigating through this base, one of the obstacles is a giant fan you have to jump through and if you dont time it right it kills you.

Thanks to whoever can help

Okay, there was this game I used to play in the early 2000's on the PC, I think the game was older than that though. I remember starting out on a ship on the sea and I think there was another ship and they had my wife or some girl and her face was in sort of like a blury vision in the shape of a circle draining away. I then remember being in a town next to the ocean it kind of looked like an assassins creed city except really dumbed down and kind of tropical. You could swim in the water but there were sharks going around in circles in different areas, I remember that you could avoid them pretty easily and I swam across to another area which then led up to a cliff. Up on the cliff was this weird building with floating objects orbiting around in and outside of the building. It was kind of a myserious game and I think it was an adventure/Puzzle game. There were guards that would try to kill you in the town if you attacked them or anything else and I can kind of remember a light jungle behind the town. I know you had like a cutlass or some sort of sword as a weapon and I think the whole game was based on rescuing your wife from the guys that had kidnapped her at the start on the ship. This has been bothering me for a while now and i really NEED to know what this game was. It was actually a really good game and playing it would be really nostalgic and I look forward to it if anyone can help me. Thank you.
