How to recover name of deleted program

once upon i time i played this good game or program whatever it was and i deleted it to save space because my hdd had 80gb.
that was about 4 years ago and the computer is still working, is there anything i can do to find the name of the program/game?
 
if it was a game that came with the install cd it will still be with the install cd, if it was a game that came from the internet then I am not sure if you can unless you can search online for something similar to see if anything rings a bell, you might do a registry search for the word game and see if that turns up anything if the OS has not been reinstalled in the last 4 years.
