Official ''Can't remember the title of a game'' thread 2.0

The purpose of this thread is to find those old games from the past whose title you just can't remember, or even a newer game you can't put your finger on. All questions pertaining to this subject must be asked here.

The old Game Remembrance Thread has been around since July 2008 and reached a titanic size with 58 pages and over 1700 posts and we agreed it would be a good idea to start over with a new one. It will remain available for reference here.

How this Thread Works:

You come in and post as many details as possible about the game you're looking for, then wait until someone comes up with the answer. It's as simple as that. If no one has replied to your post, maybe it wasn't specific enough (see below), or maybe people are working on it, but don't have any further questions. Be patient.

----------------

How to maximize your chances of finding what you're looking for:

Follow these simple guidelines:

1) As a general rule, be as much specific as you can, every little detail counts and may help us find what you're looking for.

2) Specify the timeframe the game came out, at least the decade (1990s, 2000s...). Can't remember? Try thinking of other games you might remember playing around the same time as the one you are looking for.

3) Specify the system you played the game on (which console, PC, operating system). If you're not sure, telling us which systems you owned in your gaming history narrows the field down considerably. If it was a flash game that you played on some website, don'tsay "PC game", say "flash game" or "browser game".

4) List any distinctive qualities you can remember: what genre of game was it (FPS, RPG, Platformer...)? Was the game 2D or 3D? What did the characters and enemies look like? Was the protagonist a male or a female or multiple characters? Was it first person or third person? If third person, what was the camera angle: behind the character, from the side, top-down, isometric? Was the game really bloody? How many players in multiplayer? Post anything you can remember, even if it sounds insignificant.

Sticking to these ground rules will not only help others find the answer to your request, but ensures that the first answer given is more likely to be what you are looking for.

----------------

Keep an eye on the thread

Once you've posted a query, remember to periodically drop by to see if anyone was able to help. In that case be sure to say so, so people know the query has been resolved. Did you remember some new details? Add them via a new post, don't just edit your old one if it's older than a few days, or no one will see the edit!

----------------

Be patient

Just because you don't receive an answer right away it doesn't mean we aren't working on it. Sometimes it takes time for someone to recognize the game you're describing, so check back whenever you see the thread has new replies, they may contain the answer to your request.

Still no replies to your query? Don't assume people didn't try. Don't just repost the same question verbatim: people didn't find it helpful the first time. Try adding more details.

----------------

If your game is found, say it!

If the game you are looking for has been identified, don't forget to post a comment to let everyone know: that way, people will know to stop looking, and your confirmation message may help other users searching for the same game in the future!

We have a score of several hundred resolved queries, and counting, so keep asking here whenever you can't remember the title of a game and we'll do our best to find it for you.

Hi i've been poundering about a game i used to play but can't remember

- I played it on one of the playstation 1 demo discs, so i think it was around 1995-1998

- it was a platformer game where you could see most of the battlefield

- it was your goal to kill the other player

- on the demo disc you could play the game against a second player

- the characters were human (i think) and you played against eachother on the same screen

- i think the battlefield was dark and had a metal like surface, there were also 'jumpers' with which you could get to higher surfaces

This was an old PC game. It was moreso a multiple choice game than an outright strategy game and was entirely text based. You controlled some sort of a shaman, priest, or possibly chief of an iron age tribe. You were able to make alliances, send warriors out on quests, manage your tribe etc. The game was entirely text based and was accompanied by some fairly crudely done artwork.

sorry for the late reply

I looked at some youtube clips, and the gameplay looks similar, but i don't think it was blaster master. (i don't think it had gravity changes)

But maybe it's just too long ago to accurately say. Thanks anyway :)

Isn't Blaster Master an NES title? The title he recommended may be from the PSOne era, Blast Chamber? Did you check that one?

Metamania

Yup NES opriginal. You mean Blaster Master: Blasting Again for the PSX. The most recent one is the Wiiware title

@ everyone sorry i typed the wrong title (what a coincidence it is also an old game! ^^)

i meant to say that the game i had in mind looks like blast chamber, but i don't think it is. but maybe my memory is crap and it really is that game.

How can it be Blaster Master, guys? He said it's a paltformer where you control people, not a tank game :P Also @firerevenge, I said Blast Chamber, not Blaster MasterBlack_Knight_00

I was just backing up Mete and adding linkage now that we can again.

We can? Sweet here's a picture of a monkey to celebrate

PC game from the second half of the 1990s. Gameplay is a compilation of various arcade-like genres, including racing across the screen and avoiding obstacles in the jungle, and shooting stuff as it comes at you head-first. Protagonist looks like the attached and screams with a constant deep voice almost like he's rolling Rs. Antagonist is a dark-red, monumental mace, with spikes and everything, and a handle made of rungs, and it hops around on that leg, and maybe shoots stuff from the top. This game may be low budget or international, so I understand if you can't find it.

PS the whole game is imbued with a primarily yellow color.

[THANK YOU!! Did this game not seem next to impossible? Or maybe I was just a terrible gamer as a child.stormus2008

you would also remember games the forgetting of which you forgot.

I remember there was a nes game from when I was a kid for the nes I really liked. The gameplay was you picked from 3-4 characters ( or configurations) one with a sword, another with a dagger & potion and one or two others I can't remember what the others did anymore. It had a legend of Zeldaish viewpoint and play style and sort of a middle eastern style, I could swear at least one wore a turban and the swords were all semitars. I can't remember much else and I know it's vague so it's a long shot but any help would be greatly appreciated. It's the one game from my childhood I can't find because I can't remember what it was called.sefandrus

The Magic of Scheherazade?

Scheherazade!! That's it! Thank you been driving me nuts for about 10 years since I started rebuilding my nes collectionsefandrus

Hello

I hope someone can help me remember the title of this game.

-It was arcade game

-The main character looked like a barbarian I think

-The first level was something like a cave or a dungeon

-The gameplay was mix between platformer and rpg (something like Castlevania SOTN). I remember some of the enemies, like skeletons, mages, snakes(LOL). The final boss was a dragon (not sure).

- there were shops in each level, where you can buy items and new weapons like axes, swords, maces.

Thats all I remember. I think it's a popular game, but i just cant remember the damn title

^I was going to say Magic Sword, but I don't think that's it.

Anybody know the name of an old 90's arcade beat-em-up where everybody's riding on rollerblades? All the good guys and bad guys are on blades, but you can also pick up bats and what not as well as hop on bicycles and use those for fighting.

Holy s*** that was quick! Thanks. The one I was looking for was B Rap Boys. I guess that's the sequel to DJ Boy because the gameplay and everything looks exactly the same only B Rap Boys came out a few years later. Again, 'Much appreciated. It would've taken me forever to find that game again.

Ok, so I remember my friend talking about this game at school one day. I'm assuming it was open world, because he said you could go to different places and kill people. He said that he went to the high school in the game and was running the track, killing people. He said you could go into classrooms too. He didn't say what system it was on, but I'm assuming it was no earlier than PS2 era.

Any idea what game it is? It may not even exist, because he has a history of BS-ing stories to get attention.

Hi Guys,

There was a game gamespot recently reviewed (I would've guessed in the past 6 months but since I can't find it in the reviews, maybe it's farther back) that I can't remember the name of. I think it is either a PC or IOS game. It was a 16 bit-looking game that got a favorable review, I think an 8.0 - maybe a bit less. The picture of the game or screen shot that I remember is a heavily pixelated guy holding up a sword. GS praised it for it's environments despite the 16 bit graphics. I want to say the title was something like "Adventure" or some simple one word thing like that (no, not the atari 2600 Adventure, but these do seem to share several things in common!).

I've been digging through reviews over the past 4 or 5 months but can't find it. Any ideas?

Thanks much!
