Hopefully this can be a thread for people to get help finding obscure or old games they forgot the names of.

And where would this thread be without someone asking for help!

I'm trying to find an old gameboy game. In the game you had a group of characters that you moved around in a battlefield and fought individual battles with them. Sorta like Final Fantasy Tactics except on a bit of a larger map. I'm pretty sure it was an RPG and part of a series of games. Though all google, wiki, and mobygames searching brings up nothing similar to it.

I never actually owned the game an old friend whom I've lost contact with had it so I could be wrong about one or more of these things.

GB or GBC?
Tactics Ogre?

Oops that's for GBA.
Can you tell us a list of games it's not (ostensibly you looked under gameboy tactical rpg games)?

It was original gameboy (otherwise I would have mentioned GBC or GBA). And dammit, SonuvBob, I searched but couldn't find a thread dedicated to this already.

I checked the FF's and managed to go through just about every game labeled as RPG.

EDIT: Ok that's frustrating, the closest I could find in your link ydg was a game called Crystal Warriors which I missclicked because it looked like GB (but was GG). I'm almost 100% positive the game I'm looking for was on Gameboy though because I remember us both having the huge brick gray one back in the day and he didn't buy non-nintendo consoles.

Two games from that list; Super Robot Wars (and variants)

and Little Master (and its sequel)

Assuming it's an English game..

Another Bible? Lol. I'll keep looking.

No it wasn't any of those. Look at the style in this game:

http://www.mobygames.com/game/game-gear/crystal-warriors

It was very close to being like this except I'm not sure if battles took place on the map or in a separate screen. (and it didn't have the portraits on the side)

Sorry I can't help the OP but this game has been bugging the hell out of me for years now because I just can't remember much about it.

It was a computer game, not sure what genre exactly but I guess the best description would be turn-based strategy? It basically had you in control of some sort of team that was made up of an assortment of 3 different creatures; there was one small one that could move faster but wasn't very durable, a medium sized one (I think it was called Prometheus or Promethean? I searched google really hard but obviously had a hard time finding anything by that criteria), and a big guy who was slow but hit really hard (the name for this guy was really short I remember, I think it was Gronk or Gonk or something like that). The object as far as I can recall was to have one of your guys pick up a ball and..do something with it. If the other team got the ball you had to attack the guy who had it to get it back. Sorry the description is vague but it's been bugging me a lot so I figured I might as well see if anyone knows. The graphics were really crude as I recall so I'm guessing the time period was around 1990, but honestly I can't even remember when I played it exactly.

Well I found a few games that are tactical rpg-esque but they're all from Japan only and I'm assuming your game is an English port right? (not a fan translation)

That fits but it's Japanese (Marchen Club)
I'll try to keep looking

ok so i posted this in the last thread but here are two games that REALLY bug me and i want to find

1. ) It's a sort of beat em up game... made in early 90s probably (maybe late 80s?) I seem to remember it being called 'Knights of X' or 'Warriors of X' or something... but i cant remember X... there were loads and loads of different 'characters' like giant eyes, knights, slime, soldiers... but in the end most of them were the same in gameplay... there was a mode where you could have a huge 32 player bloodbath fight... I found the game on the 1001 games PC compilation CD. But I just cant find that anymore...

2. ) It's an old turn based strategy game, which I swear was called 'stratagem'... it featured 'Orcs' vs 'Humans'... but it was bizarre and unlike other TBS... you had 'castles' and you went around and it wasn't very groundbreaking... but the graphics werent awful... and i remember magic played a very big part of it... the graphical style I think was somewhat similar to Warcraft 1/2

Cheers : )

Sorry chuiu and the others i dont know any of these.

1)I want to find a game for (old)gameboy. Its a first person shooter o something like that where i piloted some kind of ship. Graphics were really simple because they tried to emulate that sort of poligonal design of snes-starfox but in gameboy (go figure...). Never knew the name because all the instructions and game was in japanese.

2)In all the types of fake nes or famicom here in Chile they included some sort of build-in games (the most simple games like mario duck hunt etc). The game im looking for is a football game with 5 players per team and green field. Camera was always top view with goals up-down and when the ball went next to each goal the camera switched to back the goal.

thanks!
Help me! im still improving my English. An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind. M. G.

Ok, well a long time ago when my friend had first moved here from Korea we would play 2 games together all the time, the first starcraft and the second was some game involving dinosaurs.

The game with dinosaurs at his house was Korean and I'm not sure if there's an english version of it but if not that's okay basically it seemed like an RTS game except all your units could level up.

This is all I remember of the game hopefully somebody knows what I'm talking about

Taken from my blog

I looked at screenshots from paraworld and they didn't really ring a bell.

And another game I just remembered was some sort of robot game similar to pokemon it was for gameboy colour and you captured robots with magnets or something like that.

Like the other game I have little recollection of the game so it's hard to describe but hopefully SOMEBODY will know what I mean.

Alright, there's this game where you are a man with a shovel I think, and you walk around on a top-down perspective battlefield. You dig holes, and aliens fall into them. Then you quickly have to cover the holes up again before the aliens escape. Then the aliens die and I believe you win when all have been buried.

It was for Gameboy, and I think there was a "Normal" and "Classic" mode for the game, the difference being Classic had ghetto graphics and was clunkier to control as I remember.
