DOS Games Discussion

Doesn't ring a bell, but maybe it's on one of these lists:

You can also try asking around at Reddit:

We're not much into browser games from 2010s here but I believe you can look a Wayback Machine snapshots of friv.com from the time:

Hi! Your description could actually fit Heroes of Might and Magic III which was very popular back in the day. I believe there were also later, similar games with full 3D graphics, but cannot remember the exact titles at this moment. Ascension to the Throne and Fantasy Wars are a bit too late, as is ...

Since you're not trying to identify a game of which the title you forgot, I moved this to General Gaming. I don't think I ever before heard of this kind of part boardgame, part computer game hybrid, although it makes a lot of sense back in the days what home computers were not really graphics-friend...

You're welcome! This is actually not the first time someone was looking for the game and not finding it immediately. People usually suggest more popular titles, and the scenery in Renegade is probably not easily recognizable if one hasn't played the original Command & Conquer RTS games from whic...

I completely reworked the list in the first post and added a few more sims that have been found.

Have you tried Reddit's tip of my joystick?

Good luck! It sounds like it's not easy to track down your game indeed. Maybe you could try accessing some old free game download sites via the Wayback Machine, or check out those that are still up. I think Caiman Free Games and AcidPlay (?) are still online, I remember both having a good deal of ob...

I haven't really played the game but I guess this is the place to get hints for it:

Doesn't ring a bell, but here I threw together some likely filters for MobyGames search, maybe your game's on the list: https://www.mobygames.com/browse/games/windows/action/puzzle-elements/side-view/offset,50/so,1a/list-games/ Do you remember if it was a fully commercial title, or some kind of free...

The game was about a captain on sergeant who starts in a canyon with tanks and a lot of soldiers. I remember that we advance and we get to a front where is a building far away with a beam shooting out of it Also if I remember correctly, we were fighting some other soldiers who had red uniforms. If ...

Let's try a couple of MobyGames lists then:

In the meantime, I found what appears like a better preserved mirror of Adrian E. Brown's FST catalogue:

Nice! Be sure to grab the DOS demo:

Sure not a DOS game? The description of battles kind of reminded me of Conquest of the New World.

I'm pretty sure it was a 2D landscape game. That could mean several different things, was the view in your game closer to anything from the following list: Age of Empires - 2D isometric perspective Claw - 2D side view w/ slight isometry C-Dogs - 2D view from above Please note that I'm trying to det...

About the games you suggested, The Big Red Adventure and Pajama Sam: Games to Play on Any Day, none of these are I just provided those two as examples of high-res adventure game art style -- I do realise those are not your game, maybe I should have made it more clear. It's not easy to describe thin...

I'm glad that MobyGames once again helps to identify a game

That's one fine-looking game I should say. Some visuals remind me of Albion and Entomorph, but the developers behind this are actually the same people who made Clif Danger. Who knew!

the character design was unusual, not bad drawn but unusual Can you try to define this more precisely? Actually, what was the theme of the game? Did it take place in today's world, or in some fantasy place? Were the characters human? For example, here's another 2D point-and-click adventure game wit...
