I remember playing a game in computer class in elementary school, probably made in the very early 2000's, ot very late 90's, about a blue bug who has to go on an adventure to find different color keys to unlock gates, to... well, there really wasn't much story, but the game was pretty much about finding keys to open gates while avoiding being attacked by other bugs. It wasn't an adaptation of A Bug's Life but had original characters. Anyone have any idea what I'm talking about? The only person I know who even remembers it is my brother who went to the same school.

I played this game on what I think was the original Playstation along time ago at someone's house we stayed at one time. It had the first Spyro game with the decorative-egg thieves, but what I'm having trouble remembering is this other game. The game had a main character who was a zombie of some sort, was missing a jaw, and talked to the statues of these gods in the hub area, which was a temple of some sort. The main character couldn't talk because of his missing jaw and there were subtitles on the bottom for what he was saying. There were these golden holy grails I think, or maybe they were called something cups I'm not sure, but they looked like trophys. There was a village or town full of Brainwashed and Crazy villagers trying to kill you. There was also a level full of killer pumpkins and thorny vines, and at one point early in the game you unleashed demons from the Sealed Evil in a Can , which was some stone thing. I have searched through various tropes this game contained, but can not find it, and I have no idea what it was called. I would like to know what it was and might watch a let's play of it if possible. Please help.

There was a space shooter I remember playing a long time ago, but a little after the last one I posted at someone else's house. It was on the Playstation 2, and it was a side-scrolling space shooter. The first level I think, or one near the start at least, was a forest area. The screen scrolled into the sky at some point, and then back down later. Another level was underwater. I remember different powerups giving different shots, and the different shots were very colorful. There could be at least 2 players on the screen at the time, not sure if it supported more. The graphics were like Donkey-Kong Country or Vectorman, if I remember right. Does anyone know what this game could be?

A videogame I played as a little kid so it's probably a bit older. I just remember random bits and pieces from it. There was an arena you could go to and fight different villains and characters to win points in and there were a variety of characters you could play but the arena wasn't the main point of the game. There was a character who had dragons or snakes attached to his shoulders who was obsessed with barrels, and a girl named Precious or Patience (something girly like that) but I can't remember much of the characters other than that. There was also this bunnylike animal that could carry you from place to place in its pouch. I'm also pretty sure it was a Japanese-made game. It had pokemon like graphics.

I remember playing this game in Elementary School, say about 2003-2005 on the computer (Mac, probably), where I'm in a zoo and I have to go to different segments of the zoo to look at animals and there's this odd monkey and a weird bad guy that roamed around causing trouble. It probably was an edutainment game. Another game I remember from the same time period is this odd game where I end up on an island and I'm trying to work my way out by solving weird puzzles and moving from place to place. The only puzzle I remember vividly is where I have to construct the sail of a boat by fitting the given puzzle pieces into the triangular sail outline and the antagonist scrambles the pieces. This also could be an edutainment game though again, not sure on the specifics.

I remember playing some sort of find and click game on the computer. It had a bunch of kids who solved mysteries, and they were British. What stuck out to me was that it was sort of adult (police were involved and stuff), it didn't give you hints, and as far as I can remember it wasn't overly "teachy" (like, the point of the puzzles wasn't to teach you phonics, or whatever). There was one scene where one of the player characters listened to a voice message from his father to his mother about getting Es in a class (I asked my dad about it afterwards) and another where the police were worried that a new rash of crimes might happen by a copycat after they took in the villain from the first level.

commodore 64 videogame, about a top down highway where you can drive a car and run over dogs and grannies. they leave a neat red puddle after you hit them. there are oil slicks and policemen (also squishable) and if i remember correctly, at the end of a run you are judged by your kill count; angel or devil scores, the latter if you avoid anyone and just race.

I put this under "video game", but it's actually an online dress-up game.It was really cool, with real people as the models and all of these choices for clothing and the clothes were actual designer clothes, Vera Wang and that sort of thing. I saw my niece playing it, gave it a try, spent like two days there, saved some pics and forgot about it until right now. I could actually really use it for a school project, if someone could help me locate it.
Here are some screencaps I took from the game the last time I played (which reminded me of it in the first place). Sorry about using Photobucket; I didn't want to link to my actual pic-sharing account, so I just used my old school one.
EDIT: Okay, so due to "no hotlinked images" rule, I can't do that. Just check out the most recent four - the side-by-side full body and face shots.

There's a web game, made in I'd say around 2008, where you have to grow a colony of bacteria (sentient bacteria at that), and they start dividing labor of some sorts. Then, at the end, you put a lot of baby bacteria in a spaceship to do something or other. I remember the concept vividly, but the name escapes me.

I remember this RPG on the PS 2 where a dragon or something attacks your boat in the beginning and you crash onto a beach/island. You find this small settlement, and after you go into a dungeon thing-a-ma-gig you go back to the top and find it destroyed. There was also a fog or mist that was poisonous. There was a door near the beach at the beginning that I couldn't get trough because I needed some sort of gems/rings/whatever, but I think the door was black and white or had a black and white symbol on it.
My memory is somewhat foggy regarding this, so some of what I said may not match with the game, but I think it's close enough.

Years ago, I heard about a PS 3-exclusive that was being released in Japan only. It was about the current-gen game consoles as humans, and I think it was going to be an RPG, but I never heard any further word on this game.
What was the name of this game, and was it ever released?

Okay, so I remember this one, vaguely — I rented it at Blockbuster and loved it to death. It was for the Nintendo Gamecube. It was about a pair of treasure hunters, one male, one female, but the female was a Cute Mute who only communicated through....I think it was a flute? You could also go to this guild to get quests and hire these other two treasure hunters who would join your party permanently later, or you could just skip paying those two and take your Battle Butler instead. The level I got stuck on was on some sort of airship? So Yeah. If anyone could help me remember this game, that'd be nice.

Looking for a flash game I used to play. I think it was called something like "bloop"? Anyhow, you crash-landed on a planet, and had to figure out how to talk to the residents by repeating what they said back to them, until you figured out what each symbol meant. There was this side plot collecting flowers, and turning them into some sort of...drug? Anyhow, I think this is fairly well-known. Can someone give me a name? Thanks!

A friend of mine has been trying to find this game she says she played once, but can't remember what it was called, or even where she played it. She says she played it about a year ago.
- She says it involves stacking colored blocks that have various interlocking shapes on the tops and bottoms.
- The blocks rested on this platform or “wagon”.
- Once enough blocks were stacked correctly the platform would be dragged away to the left by some sort of animal, she says it was monkeys.
I’ve looked everywhere that I can think of, but I’ve found nothing. It’s obviously an in-browser flash game, or Pop Cap-esque casual game.
Can anyone help me?

Alright, tell me if you guys know what this game is. I only saw a bit of it once, very long ago (2002-2005, somewhere in there). It was for PC, a fantasy turn-based strategy, with realistic, almost FMV-like sprites. Sort of like Pokemon, in a way. You had five monsters, and you fought other monsters that you came across, and you could convert them to your side somehow. The only two monsters I remember were a gold dragon and men made of fire (the battle that stands out were the party versus two of them, and there was a fire-man on the team afterwards.

About 8-9 years ago I played a game that was about how you got sucked into a world filled with friendly monsters and evil ones. It was on the PS 2 and you were taken into this flower filled room at the start of the game and you could make your own monster after a personality quiz to determine which monster you got. You played mini-games with the monster and I didn't get much farther in the game then that. I remebr vividly that you could go back and make a new monster and although you were supposed to trace around the monster part you could draw whatever you wanted so me and my friends made a monster that looked like a big fat block (It was the ps2 after all) does anyone else know this game?
