A thread dedicated to helping others find those lost treasures from the past they were never able recall the name too. If it has to do with old PC game collections or PC-ware that's no longer licensed, long forgottern, or just obscure, it's welcome here.
I'm personally looking for a late 90's mecha rts side scroller that plays somewhat like assault suit Leynos. You commanded a small army in real time and operated your own customizable unit, could command and move units/ships as well and customize your lieutenants and ships. Every level would have you fighting harder enemies as you gradually commanded more of the universe. Someone help me figure out this obscure title, because I'm at my wits end trying to find it.

While maybe not super forgotten this game is a wonderful mess that I absolutely love.

I’d like to know the name of an old pc game I barely remember. It was 3D third person and I think you had a jetpack. The game opens on an alien world and there’s some alien(s?) hanging onto a cliff that you need to rescue before they fall. That’s about all I remember.

Ok, game I vaguely recall playing a bit in 2000/2001 or so. 3D adventure game, probably inspired by either Tomb Raider or Alone in the Dark. Had an incan or mayan setting, you started inside a temple either in or near a bedroom. I believe you played as a woman dressed in an incan/mayan outfit.

Any bells ringing?

YES! Holy shit thanks anon. I looked at the start of a longplay and it was 100% that.

I am trying to remember this old point and click game I tried over a decade ago, all I really remember is it involved guitars and rock music somehow. It was not Total Distortion however it was pretty insane and nonsensical from what I remember.
I believed in started off with you in some rundown apartment but maybe not.

Could be BlackStar : Agent of Justice.

I know the name, but I still can't find it. When I was a kid, I had one of these massive 1000+shareware game/demo things. One of the games was titled "3D Pong", but it came not only with a 3D pong , but it had this little space fighter game that used a lot of the same mechanics as the pong thing did; mouse moved your fighter around, left mouse key fired your left cannon, right key fired the right.

You had some levels shooting down asteroids and then later levels with alien fighters who were lobbing the asteroids at earth. I was never able to beat it and I would like to take a crack at it, figuring I'm better at things than I was in my childhood. I don't remember the exact year I got this, but it was probably in the late 90s, early 2000s. (Although the CD itself might have been older.)

The problem, of course, is that "3D Pong" is a ridiculously common name and I've never been able to find the one I want over dozens of other 3D pong games.

Caveat: I think the game was never released.

About 2 decades ago I read a gaming magazine promoting this upcoming horror game where you switch between two characters. The son (who was a teenage or young adult) had some kind of accident that rendered him blind and deaf, they move to some town so the mother could take better care of him, but the town was home to demons or ghost that would attack them. The gimmick was that the mother could not see them but the son could sense them, the mother could use tools and see everything clearly except ghosts/demons while the son saw everything as shadows or something but could see the ghosts/demons.

i have tried to no avail to get Chaos Overlords working on windows 11. i also created a windows xp virtual machine, and the game runs, but has glitched graphics and is not in a playable state for me. i bought the game off GOG and it has some troubleshooting stuff, but none of it worked. anyone have any idea how to run this (aside from buying an old PC)? i really want to play this game again.

Just a quick heads up on the off chance that anyone cares. The link presented doesn't seem to work, the file's corrupted at their end. But I was able to find a working copy over here
https://archive.org/details/msdos_3DWorld_1994 and finally did beat "Voyageur IV" (sic) That has been nagging at the back of my mind for almost 28 years.

Once again I want to thank you Anon. You let me finish something that was on the back burner for a very long time.

Hell yeah glad to hear it. It's always a trip to find a game from your past. I wonder if I had the same 1000 games package like you mentioned. All I remember about it was the black case.

That wasn't it but that name lead me down a rabbit hole and I found it along the way.
