My thoughts on your posting
Because Google isn't magic.

In this thread, post any games that you can't put your finger on, posting as many details as you can, and hopefully somebody will help you find which game it was. Or, if you know a game, but can't find it all, ask here. It might be a good idea to save this for an absolute LAST resort, though. Or at the least, make sure you've SCOURED Google for it.

Let me post a few, I've been looking for these FOREVER.

1. I used to have an FPS about Mr. Pibb when I was little. The engine was about as good looking as Doom, only the sprites were pretty badly drawn. You were the soda's mascot, burping at zombies in a school to turn them back into regular people. It was on a floppy disk, I remember, and now I can't find it anywhere.

2. A puzzle game for DOS called Blupimania I had once, where you were this little yellow egg-shaped guy named Blupi, who basically solved puzzles. I can't even find the demo ANYWHERE, not even on Google.

3. A first-person dungeon crawler for Windows 3.1/95 (can't remember) called Venture. The graphics were kind of primitive, they looked like they were drawn through MSPaint. The demo had a couple of scenarios, one of which where you were in a space station. You could talk to a computer and ask it if it was HAL. The full version supposedly had a thing to let you make your own dungeons, but the only way to buy it was through snail mail. I remember getting this from a CD called 100 Great Kid's Games.

Now, this thread isn't just for the stuff I can't find. You can ask for help finding stuff, too, or if you forget the name of the game, see if any of us remember it.
 
Holy crap, man, where did you find these? I've been looking for these forever! Can you tell me what sites you used?

Holy crap, a bee. You managed to rediscover Speedy Eggbert, who apparently is the alter ego of Blupi.

In case you don't know, Speedy Eggbert is a pretty mediore PC platformer with an insanely awesome custom-stage builder. Good luck finding a good demo of it online, though...

Yikes, that Speedy Eggbert demo made my anti-virus angry. "Tested Spyware Free" my butt!
 
Sorry 'bout that. I tried the download from the company's website (would've done that in the first place, but thought that might be considered advertising), but apparently that demo is just as bad.

I would like to respectfully disagree. Maybe you just don't know how to use it, but typing things into Google is closer to spellcasting than we will ever get in life. I cannot possibly count the number of things I've found with Google that I never thought I'd be able to find.

If you can't find it with Google, you're either not trying hard enough or it doesn't exist.
 
Oh, God. I had a shareware copy of Speedy Eggbert on some generic "x-games-in-one" disc. I wanted the full versiom for said editor soooo bad.
 
Ok, here's mine

It was a game, there was a snake like thing seen in a way kind of like Syvalion for SNES (but it's not Syvalion). I think it used a ModeX 60Hz video mode, and the colors were strictly brown and low depth, as if it were an Amiga port to DOS.

Forgot the name of it.
 
Talk about rare to find. Mine is Bubble bobble 2 for the gameboy or NES.

The point of bubble bobble was to shoot bubbles at enemies then burst them as you ram into them. After all enemies were eliminated you descend to the next level with a different design in the stage for different methods of movement. Some enemies are for distraction while others are fatal or obstacles. The wiki has a five level flash of it, though finding the original is almost impossible now.

I agree. I've been looking for a few years.

I don't have anything rare anymore, I've either sold it or given it away. Probably the closest thing I have to rare is a beat up mario teaches typing floppy that I can't even find.

Ah, but like a spell, you need the correct key words. Otherwise when changing a Guinea pig into a dove, you'll get a brick or a dove with a cold.

Pretty much. Just because he can't cast spells properly doesn't mean it doesn't work, though =P
 
I'm trying to remember an old game that I only played, once on an old E-Games disc.

I don't remember much about it, But I did know a few things.
The art style seemed cartoonish, similar to that of Earthworm Jim.
The main character was red, and the gameplay was 2-D.

That's all I can think of, I really wish I could find out what it's called, Cause I do recall enjoying said game, But it had some graphical glitches from time to time on the XP computer I used it with.

This wouldn't happen to be Crazy Drake, would it? Or Jazz Jackrabbit 2? One of the playable characters in that one was red, and the art style WAS pretty cartoony.
 
I remember having a certain Donald Duck game for the gameboy color. It was in 2-D, somewhat challenging (I think) and it involved some sort of 3, 4 dog-like bandits or whatever they were. Unfortunately, I don't remember the title of it...

Donald Duck: Quack Attack or Donald Duck: Goin' Quackers?
