Forgotten the name of a game? - Remember it here! (Resuming)
3,845 replies, posted
Trying to remember a few games I played when I was younger. It would have been I guess around, 2000 maybe 1999. Basically you were in thirdperson most of the time and it was some sci-fi kind of game, you controlled Space planes, tanks and shit like that. (Not tribes) It's for PC and I cannot for the life of me remember the name, it was difficult to even remember what the game was about.
This game would have been around the same time. Like the above, you controlled some submarine underwater from a third person view (Pretty vague but that's all I remember...)
Lastly this is a Playstation game. It was some kind of Real time stragety kind of game. It wasn't exactly top down view, nor third / first person it was from a diagonal POV. You basically controlled some kind of alien / robot characters and you had to kill another enemy. The maps were fairly small (Atleast AFAIK they were, I only ever played the demo).
It would be great if someone could remember all of these but even finding the name of atleast 1 would make me happy.

Warzone 2100?
If that's not it, it could be Dune 2000, KKND2: Krossfire, or Jeff Wayne's The War of the Worlds, as they are the only other PS1 RTS games I found.

Thank you, that is it!
I remember playing a pc game 2 ears ago that was sorta like a resource mining thing, you could build elevators and conveyors to get the mined rock up to the base station, you could mine the moon, also, there were mole enemies, that's all i remember, thanks
Trying to remember a game. It was on either Playstation or Genesis/Mega Drive, pretty sure it was Genesis though. It was a side-scroller. You played as a robot/mech and you could customize it by changing colours, parts and weapons if I remember correctly.
Ok, so I'm going to try and describe the game the best I can. It was long ago so my memory is hazy on it.
Basically the game is a village/society building game, where you start off with a main building (town center or something). You can create resource buildings such as lumber jack, farms etc. You're villagers will take up jobs required and the male and females can fall in love and have children, which then eventually grow up and add to the society but picking up jobs themselves.
The best way I can describe it is it's like The Settlers in the way you need lumberjacks and stonemasons to gather resources to build more buildings etc.
I remember playing the demo around 98-00 (I think) and would really like to get back into it for some much needed nostalgia.
If anyone needs more information on the game I will try and remember as much as possible, but I've been searching for a week with no luck.

Possibly Black and White? I don't know...
[QUOTE=Burgervich;35006359]Possibly Black and White? I don't know...[/QUOTE]
Wasn't B&W, still have the cd's for 1 & 2.
It focused just on the village/town a villagers itself.
In the demo I remember it being set on a map (like in a rts) were you could send people off to explore and it was set in a forest like terrain.
Reminds me of Tropico or Civilisation

Populous: The Beginning?
I've got a bit of an obscure game right here. It was around the year 2000. It was either a GBC or GB game. You were basically a vampire hunter or something. I don't think I got past the second level, but there was a drawbridge. I think there was a spear weapon too. No, it wasn't Castlevania. Any help would be appreciated.

[QUOTE=Naitomere;34968702]I need huge help finding this.
I'm trying to remember a late 90's possibly early 2000's PC game I played when I was about 4-5 Years old.
The game was 3D (Late 90's 3D graphics, not DOOM 95 sprites etc.)
It was a PC game, i'm not sure if it had ported versions to the N64/PS1 etc.
It was a FPS.
Definantly rated T for Teen or M for Mature
My dad believes the name of the game has the word "red" in it.
The game seemed to be post-apolycaliptic of some sort, the walls resembling a coliseum; and the ground resembling dirt/clay.[/QUOTE]
Sounds like [URL="http://www.mobygames.com/game/windows/redline"]Redline[/URL], never played it myself but I remember always keeping an eye out for it.
Found most of them:

Yes that's is. Many thanks.
I remember a PC game from the late 90's (don't know when it came out that's just when I played it)
I think you were basically the overlord of a dungeon and had to set traps and shit and make rooms for something. Oh yea and you also got little goblin/demon workers that you used to tear down walls and build junk.
It wasn't really a retail game, but it was a web game I played recently.
It was a text-based internet game, and basically you started out as a baby and ended up as a grown up. There were many scenarios and branching paths and you chose your own action.

Holy shit that definetly looks like it. Thank you so much!
A SNES top down adventure game much like Zelda: Link to the Past, but graphics were more detailed and characters taller like in Seiken Densetsu 3.
The player character had a brightly colored spear or a staff he used for combat throughout the game, and he could also spin it to effect objects telekinetically.
The game started in what I think was a nomad settlement. After finding the staff in some cave and learning how to use it, it was used to move a statue to reveal a passage to further levels.
From there the journey took the PC to a lot of different places from which I remember an undead village in the middle of a desert, mountain level and a snowy mountain with ice caves.
[editline]aewarf[/editline] Holy shit I think it's Terranigma
Been looking for this game like forever.
- It's a PC game.
- Released in the early 2000's I'm guessing.
- It's a 2D top-down space shooter
- I think in order to complete a 'level' you had to collect all of the blue glowing orbs, the entire game kinda revolved around those orbs.
- I think the title consisted of a single word I think.
[editline]8th March 2012[/editline]
Hahaha I actually found it by entering '2D space shooter in Google Images, it's called [B]Swarm[/B], and the orbs are apparently called EZT or some shit.

My friend's looking for an old PS1 game.
From what he remembers you play as a basketball itself, it has a Mortal Kombat type loading screen and you choose from different types of basketballs dressed up and such. The objective is you just have to go into the goals, I'm guessing it's a side-scroller.
I know that isn't much to work with, but do you guys know?

You're correct, but the part with using a staff to move statues? That's from Terranigma's prequel; Illusion of Gaia/Time. If you haven't already I highly recommend the whole trilogy:
Soul blazer, Illusion of Gaia, and finally Terranigma, amazing series for the SNES
Does anyone remember that game for the super nintendo that was about two kids shooting zombies with water guns? I remember that you could have different weapons like soda cans and tomatoes. At first you started in a back yard type of place and moved on to a mall and then a egyptian maze or something like that.

I have two games i need remembering
one was a fantasy rts/third person action game where it was basically that, an rts and third person action game rolled into one
the other was this game where you were like on the moon or something and it was also an action RTS, you had a base and units you could order around, but you could also control them yourself. i remember you could even go out in a spacesuit if you wanted.
[editline]9th March 2012[/editline]
the former is more modern and the latter was quite old, maybe from before the millennium
Platformer 2D where you paly as water drop. You could go really fast and after beating game you could unlock more characters like ninja, catcus and robocop.

First one is either Savage: Battle for Newerth or Spellforce.
No idea about the second one but I'd love to know too.
