Games you remember, names you don't

There is a game from my childhood which I try to remember its name for years now but no such luck. Maybe you can help me?

- DOS game from around 1994/1995 (I played it around that time though it might be a few years older)
- Medieval adventure/RPG game
- Side view game
- You played some unnamed male character.
- All characters were only black silhouettes on screen, the backgrounds were colored though (I think)
- It was very static, you could only "jump" from screen to screen and there were always only your character and exactly one other NPC on screen (each NPC had its own screen)
- NPCs I remember: wizard, dragon, King (father of princess), princess
- You could talk to NPCs in some way (I think you could choose from sentences at the bottom of the screen).
- I think the game had something with "Amanda" in its title and I think this was also the name of the princess.
- The overall art style of the game reminded me of a storybook (though I could be wrong).
- I think the opening screen was a portrait with a big closeup of the princess' silhouette and the game title above it (I think it was "Amanda")
- Very little animations, you could not walk around in one screen nor did the NPCs walk around.
- You could collect various items which where queued up behind your character. Your character was always located on the left side of the screen, with space of about one third of the screen behind him for the "inventory". NPC were always on the right side of the screen.
- You could collect items such as a magic cloak from the wizard which gave you magic powers or a sword to fight the dragon.
- At one point you could lose all your clothes so you were "running" around naked and the NPC reacted appropriated to this. I remember when you got to the princess naked she would laugh at you or something.
- I can't remember the goal of the game but I think it was to win the princess' heart.
- You could fight a dragon in his cave (though I can't remember the fighting mechanics).


Anyone knows this game? I really, really want to play it again. I tried to google "Amanda" but it came up with nothing.

Sounds like Blade Warrior to me.

EDIT: That's not it, though. It's the only DOS game I can think of in silhouettes.

I don't know the scene as I barely remember the game but character and time period match up fairly well for Breath of Fire. Here's a shot of the characters:

I checked and I dont think think thats it, I dont recall the wolf character being in your party, if I remember right he kinda appeared out of nowhere and jumped in to help.
Not sure if it has been mentioned..

It was a game that has Final Fantasy IV/ V style graphics, Not sure it was made by SquareSoft.

All i remember is a cutscene where you(and your party?) were running from a collapsing building(castle?), but then when it seems that a builder or a wall will fall on us, a werewolf/anthro wolf character comes and hold that wall for us to escape.

I dont know what the game was about or what genre, or what the hell the story is, just that particular scene...

There was this game I played on SNES, it was a 2D action game. You controlled a guy dressed in blue and with spiky hair, kinda like Strider.

The font for the game's title may have flames.

Sorry for not giving more details, I had a friend that used to rent a lot of games. So I got to play tons of them but sometimes we didn't completed one and he never rented it again.
 
Alright GAF, I remember playing a game on Sega Genesis. From what I remember it was a sidescroller game and it was about robots that you could customize its arsenal. As you progress you fight robots however you can forcefully take away their limbs and add it to your own to replace your inferior weapon. Thats all I can remember about it but hopefully with these sparse clues, some of you guys could name it

Cyborg Justice, and it's awesome.
 
I remember playing a PC game as a kid back in the mid-to-late 90s in which I think you were exploring a museum at night (or a mall, I forget which) while avoiding a security guard. I think you were supposed to solve some sort of mystery or conspiracy, because I remember one time that when I took too long, I got a cutscene showing that the building I was in exploded.

Other details:

-I believe the game was point-and-click, and you navigated between rooms like that.

-I'm almost positive that the characters in that game were shown through live-action FMVs. I remember this not because of the security guard, but because before the aforementioned explosion, some random guy popped up on the screen and made a motion to tell me to get the heck out of there. Remembering this now, that was definitely a human actor.

-I remember how scared I was of being caught by that security guard... I think you were able to know his position in the building at all times.

-One of the rooms looked like the main "lobby" area of the museum, which connected to all the other sections of the building.

So yeah, that's all I can remember. I can't even begin to guess what the title of the name is.

Countdown? Although the first part of the game was the only thing that sounded remotely like what you described.
 
Old dragon ball pc game , ran on windows
it was like paint just with a dragonball theme and with fancy paint brushes you could use, as well as capsules that would explode giving different objects
plz guyz , plz =(
 
This is a huge shot in the dark, but I've been trying to find a game from one of those old school 90's CD's that came with hundreds of really crappy games and demos. Remember those?

Anyway, I remember very little other than it was a pixelated, very low budget looking, action platformer and you could play as one of three superheroes who each had different powers. One was a girl who I think could fly or slowfall, the other was a man made out of gum and could stick to walls, and I'm not sure about the third but I believe he was part animal (maybe cat?)

I know that's not much to go on, but maybe someone here has any ideas?

Definitely not it. I'll see if I can think of anything else...

Well, I think there may have been a teenage girl in the opening of the game. I think that's the main character and you play through her in a first-person perspective, but it could also just be someone else. The game was definitely first-person, though.

And when I say point-and-click, I'm not saying it's a traditional adventure game (or at least not like the one shown in the video). You just use the mouse to navigate to various "still-images" of the building and investigate stuff.

Also, keep in mind that I played this game in the mid-to-late 90s, so it should have been released around then.
 
I played in the mid-to-late nineties an RTS / RGP-ish game where you controlled vehicles similar to the ones that appeared in the Mad Max movies in a similar setting - a post-apocalyptic wasteland. However it wasn't Fallout or KKND.

You drove around and explored more than you did combat if I recall correctly and the combat was more sporadic, one-on-one encounters and less of the swarms you typically encounter in RTS games.

I've searched all over for this game and for the life of me I can't find it. All the lists that appear online - PC RTS games, PC RPG games, PC games of the 90s all fail to mention this game.

GAF, you are my last hope!

Indeed that's not the game I'm looking for. The game I'm looking for had very little focus on combat/battle (can't remember the combat mechanics, I guess they were super simple). Most of the time you were talking to the NPCs and tried to find the right items for them or something like that.

I'm going to take a stab in the dark based on the era and driving RPG-ness and suggest Vangers

Thanks for the suggestion but that's not it! I've never heard of Vangers though, might have to try it out.

The game I'm thinking of has a more earthy color palette to it, and the sprites are smaller than the ones in Vangers.

Damn! How can a game that I played so much back in the day elude me like that?
 
One assumption I made which you didn't actually *say* - I assumed it due to the RTS mentions - was that it's top-down. Is that a correct assumption, or did it take some other viewpoint?

Edit: I assume it's not Death Rally, right? That's more of a racer than an open-ended thing, but it's probably worth double-checking.

http://m.youtube.com/results?q=Dog fight for your life#/watch?v=opsJXO3vWsc what about this game?
 
Theres this old Snes game i used to play, pretty sure it was like a zelda clone or something, top down like zelda lttp, and early in the game there was this level that involved climbing like an ancient tree and retrieving some tree sap or something.

I also remember getting like a monkey suit for the character or something, uhh its weird.

Any ideas?

Edit: Could also be on the Sega Saturn, i had both consoles at the same time.

I should have clarified that but seeing that Vangers shared a very similar perspective to the game I'm thinking of I decided against mentioning it but yes, it's top-down with a hint of perspective.

It's definitely not Death Rally because the game wasn't about racing. I remember riding around in this buggy / bike contraption shooting at other vehicles.

Esthetically - and in terms of perspective and color palette - it's similar to Earth 2140, but that isn't it either!

Wow, that looks really good for 1997! Sadly, the game I'm thinking of is 2D, sprite-based.

I'm *so* tempted to say it's Fallout but I don't remember ever going on foot. All the screenshots I see of the first two Fallout games show someone walking around. :(

Oh, and Fallout doesn't seem to have much in the way of vehicles.
 
Do you have any idea if we're talking DOS, Win3.1 or later Windows? Mid-to-late 90's is in that awkward bracket where it could concievably be any one of those three.
 
The problem with the game that I don't know the name of, is that I also don't exactly remember how gameplay was

It's a DOS game in which you are a Purple ball-like beast/guy and you had to navigate through a level, kill enemies, get power ups etc.. the usual
Problem was that at some point there was a virus on the floppy and my dad threw it away :(

Did it look like Pac-Man to some extend? Did this game have a background story about rescuing the family of the main character? In the opening cinematics, did the main character come home and found an empty house and so he set off to find his family? Was the end sequence a cutscene with a spaceship looking like the Borg Cube from Star Trek? And was there also the main antagonist in the end sequence who kidnapped the family and was some kind of female alien, looking like a human with long, wild black hair and a green laser monocle?

If so, I think I also played this game around 1997/1998. But I also can't remember its name!
Are you sure the main character was purple? I remember him as being orange.
 
I'm looking for a N64 game. It was a platformer, had a futuristic-cartoony style. I'm remembering that you could shoot with laser weapons. There were some darkish-industrial levels, and also aliens chilling on a beach. Some levels could be freely traversed.

I can't remember much more.

It was not Get Force Gemini or Glover.

So, when I was a kid, my grandma visited us (she lived in another city) and she brought some SNES games, but I really don't know where she got them, because the carts where actually from PAL region (my NES was NTSC). I didn't know that back then, but it was kinda strange to see those cartridges.

Anyway, the only thing I was remember is that it was a 2D sidescrolling shmup, and I remember the first boss. I'm pretty sure the first stage was just a sky-blue background with clouds and the first boss was a giant plane (several screens long) and you had to shoot all the little turrets in it.

Anyone?

EDIT: I'm pretty sure the planes were realistic instead of futuristic.

UN Squadron springs to mind. Not familiar enough with it to know exactly what a given level looks like, but stylistically that's the sort of thing you're describing.

reminds me of UN Squadron, but that wouldn't be the first stage

EDIT: Actually it would be the last stage, there is a several screens long flying battleship boss, but the sky is orange iirc.
 
Yeah... I have been told about U.N. Squadron several times, and it has a similar style, but it's not that one.

It had more simplistic style.

And the first boss was this huge ship-like plane... the boss is so large that is scrolling slowly above you.

i don't think so, but here it is anyway

http://youtu.be/nyYKaAAPcLo?t=3m59s

this is from the arcade version, iirc the background in this stage was entirely black in the SNES version.

Air Busters had a 'blue sky' first level and a huge battleship as the boss, but:
- while the huge 'plane' does fly above you at some point (IIRC) during the first stage, when you actually fight it and shoot its turrets you just see its 'back'
- futuristic planes.

Alright Gaf, ring any bells?

This was a PS1 game, it was only a demo me and my friend played but it was super cool. Top down brawler/fighter with wizards (or some sorth of humanoid characters using magic). I remember specifically that one of the characters could summon giant icicles from the sky.

I remember the effects being very fancy at the time.

I am trying to remember the name of a graphic adventure on the Sega Saturn, not unlike D. Someone goes to a strange town, solves clues, and finds a doorway to another world. In the other world he saves people that were in the town. I remember one of the characters was bald and named Anthony, and he may have collected butterflies.

Anyone know what I am talking about?

Edit:
Nevermind I found it, it was called Lunacy in the US.

Yeah, it is Lunacy, and it's by the same people who made the Mansion of Hidden Souls games for Sega CD and Saturn. Similar tones in all three titles.
 
Okay, this might not fit in here entirely, but Detective GAF surprised me a lot so far.

You guys remember the time when Doom was sold on Shareware CDs? Great. I bought one of those, and not only had it the game and various other shareware titles on it (But the cover art was solely about Doom iirc), but also some tracks of some medieval music band.
It probably sounded really crappy, but somehow I got reminded of it and remember to actually have listened to one or two tracks a lot.

Your mission, should you accept it: Go find me the name of that band or songs, or some hints that may lead me to it.

Hell, I don't even know if it was sold worldwide in this version -.-

This one is going to be pretty hard because I don't remember too much.

It was an arcade game (I remember the cabinet just said "New Game" on it lol).

It was back in the late 80s (around 86-89) a side scrolling game where you played as a japanese looking ninja (I don't think there was a mask though, maybe a headband with japansese spiky hair). You could get different power ups like shooting out swirling fireballs, shoryukens? (don't remember), and other different powers. The character design was short and chubby. There is also some platforming (jumping) and it looked pretty colorful.

I thought it was ninja kid or ninja kid 2, but I don't think that's it. Any games similar to that?

It's defiinitely not games like Ninja Spirit or Ninja Kazan which have more realistic style art work. Also I'm positive you shoot out something as an attack as opposed to melee attacks.

I'm been trying to figure this out for the last 15 years on and off but could never find it. Figured I'd give GAF a try.


Here is another one.

Same time period, maybe a little later 1988-90. Arcade wrestling game also with "New Game" on the cabinet.
The characters were fairly small compared to ring size. I remember the gameplay was pretty advanced with alot of moves.

It's not mat mania as that's older. It's not the main event.. Maybe it's actually Champion Wrester.. hmm.. Need to look into it further.

So, my girlfriend is trying to find a game. It was a game for Windows 98. It came with her family's Compaq Presario. It was on a separate CD-ROM and not already installed on the computer. Part of the game took place in the desert and another part in the tundra. It also had UFO's and ominous music. That's all she remembers. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

If anyone knows what game this is, my girlfriend and I would greatly appreciate it :D I've been scouring the internet to try and figure out what this is and I've had no luck :/

Any chance you could get any type of gameplay details from your girlfriend? Did you play as the UFOs? A running character? Third-person camera? Isometric? First-person? Action game? Strategy?

I tried to look this up for you when it first posted but I got nowhere because there simply wasn't a whole lot to work with. I had a game in mind that I barely remember, and while it could be it, my memory is extremely foggy on the title and I didn't pursue it because I wasn't convinced it was the right game. The game I'm thinking of started overhead over a jungle, from what I recall, so it didn't match the desert or tundra environments that your girlfriend recalls.

Edit: The game I had in mind COULD be Zone 66. Elements of it are familiar but that looks faster paced and I don't remember having as many abilities. But it had the same perspective, the craft looks familiar possibly, and it dealt with flying above stuff and killing ground targets and such. Pretty sure I just played some shareware version of the game in mind for like ten minutes back in the 90s.
 
I've been trying to remember the name of the game I was looking for from my post ever since I posted in this thread. And seeing that nobody gave me an answer made me even more anxious to remember the game.

Finally, I found out what the game I've been trying to remember is. It's Fixeight. What I said about a frog man was actually a lizard man. And oh man, the ninja...he was one of my favorite characters in that game. I love getting the power-ups and watching his shuriken spread grow bigger and bigger. I can definitely relate to what the top comment on the video must've felt when he/she stumbled upon this as well. My quest is over. However, after seeing the video I kind of wish I could play that game one more time.

I'm trying to remember if Incoming had a tundra level; if it does, it could be that yet again.

Definitely not it. I'll see if I can think of anything else...

Well, I think there may have been a teenage girl in the opening of the game. I think that's the main character and you play through her in a first-person perspective, but it could also just be someone else. The game was definitely first-person, though.

And when I say point-and-click, I'm not saying it's a traditional adventure game (or at least not like the one shown in the video). You just use the mouse to navigate to various "still-images" of the building and investigate stuff.

Also, keep in mind that I played this game in the mid-to-late 90s, so it should have been released around then.
