Hi, there. i am trying to find an old game so i really hope you guys could help.Please excuse my english:( It was a mini game, no full screen...you were driving a ship (the ship had 4 weapons if i remember correctly,but i remember only 2: a harpoon and a cannon ) on a board just like Minesweeper's with lots of squares which represented the sea . The mission was to find all 9 (could be 10) hidden treasures underneath those squares. There were 5 islands placed randomly on the board and if you drove your ship on those islands your ship's "health" was restored and ammunition added. Some squares revealed sea monsters, pirate ships, phoenix birds, ghost ships and you had to fight them (the fight was "heroes" style....each side taking turns). Other squares revealed swirls that removed one of the treasures found if so, others revealed compasses that were showing what's under a square formed by 9 squares (hope you understand what i am trying to say).......under some squares were maps which highlighted the nearest treasure..... Please guys, help me find this game.....i've been trying for years to find it and no result, i am begging you:D

Really now, there's no need for you to beg, It's not like the people on this forum know the answer to your question and are ignoring you on purpose. I've been a registered member on this forum for some time now (since 2004) and although I don't post often I do browse the forums almost daily (especially the PC section) and I can tell you that I've seen a lot of threads made by people who were trying to remember a game and users on this forum were kind enough to provide them with the answers they were seeking. I've even helped out a couple of times myself.

Thw PC community here is quite friendly and willing to help, and some of the users on these boards have been gaming for quite some time and hold a lot of knowledge regarding older PC games. I'm sure that if someone recognized the game you described, they would have posted a reply. Sometimes you are just out of luck and you can't find an answer because no one browsing the forum has played it or heard of it.

Judging by your description (no full screen, mini-game like gameplay) I would say it's either one of those games for casual gamers or some type of flash-based web browser games. I've been gaming since the mid 90's but I don't recall playing anything the likes of which you described, so I can't help you with this one.

Anyway, I hope you eventually find someone to help you remember the game (if not on these forums, then somewhere else) but posting a new message in this thread every couple of hours (ok, that's an exxageration on my part, but still) isn't going to help. Have patience and rest assured that if someone knew the answer they would have helped you by now.

Sounds like one of those simplistic Windows games, that you could play in a window like Minesweeper or Solitaire. I know exactly what type your talking about, but there used to be bucket loads of those types, and i remember playing something similar a very long time ago...

Don't remember the name. :(

yeah, i can't remember the name either.....no one does:((......tried other forums as well....still no results.... I even remember some of the 9 treasures you could find: a pearl, a golden cross, a treasure chest, a big gem, a golden necklace... I also remember that every of the 4 types of enemies were defeated easier if you were using the right weapon...example: the sea monster was better defeated with the harpoon, i even remember that the sea monster was like some bunch of algae with 2 eyes:)). Another example: the pirate ship was better defeated with the cannon. I also remember that the compass that revealed what's under 9 squares that formed a bigger square looked like a yellow nail........and when you got the compass, the mouse pointer changed into a "+" sign with a circle in the center and you could choose where you want the 9 squares revealed on the board clicking on the square that represented the middle of the bigger square. Still....i can remember all these things but not the name of the game, that's what drives me crazy.....i have been looking for this one for years:(

I just love when some dude desperate to find a certain game comes on, and some know it all replies back with massive paragraphs trying to intelligently explain things. Save your drivel and let the guy exercise his freedom.

I can't believe it! Hi everyone, I am new to this forum and I've found it on Google when I was looking for the above mentioned game. Finally, after so many years I found at least one person who actually knows what game I mean! hellterel, unfortunately I have no idea what it's name is. I have been trying to find it at least for last five years. It's been more than 10 years since I played it and I've managed to forget the majority of details you described. However, I am 100% sure we are looking for the same thing. I can clearly remember the sound of firing a cannon, the blue colour of the squares and some of the pictures you described. If you find it, please let me know here! At least now I know that my memory is not playing tricks and I didn't make it up :-) Cheers!

hey, hewer3k, nice to meet you too. Yeah, mate, nice game that was....or at least that's how i remember it, i was pretty young back then. If i find it someplace else, you will surely be the next to know, no doubt about that....i'll just keep trying as i did 'till now:) "Cred ca esti roman, nu stiu de ce:))" If you have no ideea what i just wrote about, my bad, it's just i thought u are romanian and that says: "I don't know why but i think you are romanian" Cheers, mate!

@evildead: It was a pc game...something like a flash game or miniclip....that kind of game....i do not know if it was an old or new game because i got it from a girl on a cd.... I know only what i described.....you just had to click with the mouse on any square in the immediate proximity of your ship (any direction) to move it.....i'm so sorry that i don't know more about it:( @ kerk: I will check that resembrance thread. Thank you for your good intention, mate.

I see that you've still had no luck finding out the name of this game. That's too bad, but like I said it's bound to happen sometimes. Have you tried other forums? Since from what you are hinting at it seems to be a flash game, maybe you could try a forum dedicated to that type of games; there's bound to be some around on the web.

I wont even bother to offer a retort to gem98088, he obviously didn't take the time to read my post and understand what I was saying and judging by his profile it's clear to me he's a console player with little to no knowledge of PC gaming (nothing wrong with that, except that it doesn't give him the right to lecture anyone on the PC forums; especially since he obviously never understood what the post he was criticizing was about). Pathetic!

P.S.: Nu stiu daca hewer3k e roman, dar eu cu siguranta sunt. Sa inteleg ca nu mai tii legatura cu respectiva fata de la care ai luat cdul cu jocul respectiv? Banuiesc ca altfel ai fi intrebat-o deja si pe ea dacanu isi aduce aminte de el. Oricum, sper sa-l gasesti pana la urma. Am patit-o si eu de vreo cateva ori sa uit de vreun joc sau vreun film de care ma legau amintiri placute si e iritant cand iti sta pe creier si nu gasesti raspunsul. Numai bine!

Salutare Shadowboro.....intr-adevar nu mai am cum sa dau de fata respectiva, o fosta colega de liceu, nici macar de clasa:|..... In legatura cu gem98088, nu fii asa critic, omul nu a vrut decat sa ajute sau mie asa mi s-a parut, bine intentionat, iar asta conteaza mult pentru mine....e drept, poate s-a bagat unde nu era loc de el, dar noi, fiind cei intelepti, putem trece cu vederea:) Voi cauta un forum dedicat jocurilor flash....m-am gandit si eu la asta, dar pe de alta parte poate fi de la miniclip, bigfish si asa mai departe....chiar nu imi amintesc. Multumesc mult pentru urari si, sincer, sunt optimist, cred ca pana la urma il voi gasi, chiar daca poate va mai dura ani:)) Numai bine si tie!

This thread is saddening.
