open(SOLVED) Old pre-installed phone games, platformer and virtual pet Videogame
Suddenly remembered these pre-installed games I had on my first phone, a non-smartphone with a keyboard and color screen (think it was a Nokia but not 100% sure) and want to know what they were and what they were called. I got the phone in my early teens or possibly preteens, so mid-late 2000s.
One of the games was a platform game starring some mascot character who I think vaguely resembled Rayman, but without the floating limbs. The first world/level was a forest-based world where you'd jump across trees, or possibly a Green Hill Zone (pretty sure it was a green nature environment either way) - I don't remember other worlds because I never got very far in the game thanks to the bad controls. I think it also started with an intro with text and pictures, explaining how the main character had to save the world or save someone or some generic platformer story like that?
The other game was a virtual pet game where you'd care for a creature of the same species as the character from the game above (if not the platformer character himself) and the main gimmick was taking pictures of something of a certain color with your phone camera. For example, they would be hungry, show a blue box in a speech bubble, and you'd "feed" them by taking a photo of something blue. The game mainly took place in this character's house and you could switch between a few different screens.
(If it helps, the phone also had a third game unrelated to the characters and world of the other two - I don't even remember what it was since I barely played it but think it might have been some kind of puzzle game)
Edited by Zanreoopen18 Wheels of Steels gameplay video Videogame
Hey, i'm trying to find a certain two-part 18 Wheels of Steels (or probably other trucking simulator video game like it but I definitely doubt there were more) gamplay video. I think it might be deleted, but i'm not so sure. I can't remember much about those videos, but all I do know is that I first watch them somewhere around 2007 at least to 2010 at most, have no commentaries, and feature different songs with one of them (I think) being Eleven Fingers Paralyzer. Can someone help me with this?
openmyhouse.wad Videogame
the recent "house of leaves" inspired doom map by Veddge on the doomworld forum. has a ton of backstory stuff. I can't find a page for it here, and it should really be on tvtropes.
openAn old Edutainment game Videogame
Theres an old edutainment game I have faint memories of from the early 2000's, you play as the assistant to a green monster detective, playing language games (A horse racing arcade game where you had to create a word letter by letter in alternating turns, a game where you launch mice off of piano keys to put together word fragments, a game where you have to use a bank of letters to create the most unique words) to earn halves of clues you would use to find the culprit of a crime from a cast of monsters (E.G. An old time hollywood starlet mummy, a frankensteins monster esq coach ect)
opena flash game platformer Videogame
a game about owen from total drama island on a bicycle cycling through an icy landscape. unsure if it was official or a fan creation. probably about a decade old at this point. i've looked and i can't find it ANYWHERE. someone with a better memory than me, help.
openHorror game from 2014. Videogame
There was an advertisement for a horror game in early-to-mid 2014 that focused on a player in a dark room jumping at some unseen fright. It seemed to precede every video on Blip.
openGame about merging monsters Videogame
This was an online game about merging monsters. There was an arena which hosted the main plot, with another area for getting money
You could buy two monsters to start, a robot and a crawler. The robot was round and had a single eye that was blue and glassy. The crawler was made of blue flesh with bubbles or boils on its skin and just a tail and two arms as limbs
These could be merged into a zombie (two crawlers) which was a red eyed green humanoid with a regeneration power, another mechanical thing (two robots) that acted just like the robots, and another thing (a crawler and a robot) that had two energy swords and might have been called a berserker
These could be merged into a big green fat thing (two zombies) that had more regeneration, a bigger robot (two mechanical things) that also shot lasers and had a cylindrical head with a visor-type eyes and a jagged mouth, a healer (a zombie and a mechanical thing) which was like a zombie with a robotic mask and staff, a thing with swords (two berserker things) which was like the thing that used the two laser swords, a pyro (a mechanical thing and a berserker thing) which was like the zombie but mostly a machine that shot fire, and a cyclops (a zombie and a berserker thing) that was a zombie with a big hammer and a glassy eye like the robot
openDOS game where you're chased by an evil knight Videogame
I'm trying to remember a game that I saw in my youth. I remember the main character being chased by a knight with an axe, and if he reached you you got killed in one hit. It was almost in a isometric perspective, but wasn't. More like those scrolling beat-em-ups where you can move up, down, left and right on a plane.
I tried asking a few years back and no-one could remember it.
resolved Rabbit game Videogame
I dont remember much of this game. Just that the main character is an anthropomorfic rabbit, I think he used a laser gun, and you fight against chameleons.

What is that classic music riff that's used in, say, this song
and about 2:14? I've heard it a lot but never know the name.
open3D beat 'em up set in Japan, possibly part of a series? Videogame
It was probably for the Playstation 2, possibly late Playstation 1, and I think it had "Brothers" in the title. On the surface it was fairly down-to-earth (i.e. all the enemies, at least from what I had seen, were regular humans), but it had a bunch of over-the-top special moves. The one move that I remember in particular involved the player character knocking the target's soul out of their body (I want to say that it was done via a slap, but I'm not 100% certain), which I think reduced the victim's stats or otherwise left them more vulnerable if they still had health afterwards.
Edited by RadayamopenLEGO flash game set on a train during the Wild West. (Solved) Videogame
This was very long time when I most visted the LEGO website for stuff relating to BIONICLE. I would occasionally wonder off the Biooncle site and into the main LEGO site.
I think they had a general "games" section the included games from every theme. This game was from a "Trains" theme. You where on a passenger train and had to stop this outlaw who had boarded with and I think was trying to rob it.
I remember there where these cards that would play whenever something happened (Not sure if good or bad, but I think bad) that said "You've been X." I do not remember the third word. There was also a scene where you push one of the bad guy's henchmen out of the train and they get caught on a rope on a post outside. This disturbed me at because I though he got hanged, but I realized it was around his waist rather then his neck.
Edit: It's Tales of the LEGO Express: The Heist
Edited by datadoggieeinopenmission/scene from resident evil Videogame
does anyone know this one mission/scene from a resident evil game where ur fighting human-looking monsters with tentacles coming out their mouths (or smth similar to that) ???? im not rlly sure if thats the exact appearance bc it was a long long time ago (probably around 2009-2013)
resolved (FOUND) Horror game where you visit a building you once lived in and a shadowy figure hunts you. Videogame
I played this game about 5 years ago, on mousecity.com (when Flash Player worked on Chrome). The title may have been a variation of "Trauma", "Paranoia" or even "13", but I lean more towards it being either of the first two.
You play a guy visiting an old apartment building for a journalistic endeavour, and later recalls that he has a history with the place. The lady on the ground floor, once you enter her room, briefly appears as an all-black figure with red eyes before you see her normally. You have to take her key to advance inside.
The further you go up the building (I think), the more often you will see the shadowy figure. It starts with brief glimpses, then the figure appears for longer, but immobile. The danger starts when the guy starts moving towards the player (it's Game Over if it gets you * at this point, I was too spooked to proceed so the rest of this query is what I recall from a walkthrough), and must be avoided by going into another room.
Now here may be spoilers:
Our protagonist finds that he can interact with portraits on the wall to an alternate world/time where he walks in the form of a child, and this flipping between his past and present self is needed to proceed, as well as evade the dark man on either side. The game ends when the kid enters a room with lots of crime tape and a bloody dead body, along with a note that explains that he witnessed a murder in the building as a child and the trauma of the event haunts him when he returns there.
It's a side-scroller game and I recall that it has a pixel-ly look. I happened upon it (in mousecity.com) in the "Related Games" window that appears below the main window (where the current game you're playing appears). It's possible that I could randomly find it again that way, but I tried that before and haven't spotted it yet.
Thank you in advance for your time.
Edited by BlackFaithStarresolved Leap frog game about animate art tools [FOUND] Videogame
When I had a leap frog, there was a game on it about animate drawing supplies. I think it was an edutainment game that taught about colors and art. I think the main character was a pencil named Mr Pencil and one time he had a brain freeze.
Edited by moefoxesopenonline game about death Videogame
It was an online, probably flash, game where you played as a man who was dying from i think a car crash and was in limbo or something like that. The gameplay was one of those games where you are on a grid with squares and you go from square to square to get to the end trigger, but when you step off a square for the first time it disappears. Also his dog and I think ex-girlfriend show up at one point and you have to take them to their end triggers too.
Edited by BeaCandyopenWhich Wolfenstein? Videogame
There's already a heap of Wolfensteins out there so I kind of lost track which one is about what.
In which installment one of the weapons you can possess, is a drum-magazine submachinegun which can be Guns Akimbo-ed? The smg itself looks like an oversized TEC-9 crossed with MP-40 and its barrel has a "heatsink" with round holes.
openPrint Ad with Superhero, Laser Beams, Fish Bowl, Ice Cubes Etc. Videogame
The title tells you what it looks like, but it's more insane than I can possibly describe. It's an advertisement scanned from an old magazine or comic book which has appeared online in lists of the worst or most ridiculous video game ads. The subject of weird vintage ads came up recently, and it's bugging me that I can't relocate this one. It was probably for an Atari game or something from that era. I don't think it was a well-known title. Of course the promotional art often had nothing to do with the actual game.

I'm looking for a game where you watch out as somekind of special high school student (could be a god, an alien, idk) lives a seemingly normal life experiencing everiday things and growing up, but your job is to make sure they learn valuable things. To that end you hire extras for they to meet, among other things that reminded me of the first part of the anime Blood-C.
VN novel style,text based, min artwork (faceless characters, IIRR), Slice of life. Asian developer. That's all I can recall.
