openOld freeware game for Mac Videogame
This is a game my brother remembers getting off download.com in around 2005 or 2006.
You had three turrets at the bottom of the screen, and the computer had three turrets at the top of the screen, and there was an asteroid field in between; the object was to be the first to destroy the other side's turrets.
Objects would float through the asteroid field; he remembers some kind of space amoeba, and a flying saucer that moved up and down as it went across the screen. The graphics were above-average for the time period.
I know this is pretty obscure, but if anyone has any suggestions, thanks in advance!
openA video game that I remember trying a while back Videogame
I think it was probably a kid's game, but it was about these two siblings who were trying to build up money for a superhero suit they saw on TV to stop a meteor??? I think there was a fishing minigame or something??? I honestly don't remember too much about it otherwise
openWierd Dream Videogame
Last night, I had a dream about a rather odd video game. It started with a setting similar to Portal, minus the portal gun, being a first-person puzzle-solver in a lab environment. but as I (or whoever the PC was) got outside, it changed to a cliff-side setting similar to the game based on Disney/Bolt, and focused more on (laughably easy) platforming than puzzle solving. But the best part is that at the end, in a large crater-like gap in the cliff, was a massive whirlpool, easily 100' across at the edge, with the machine above it apparently causing it while also harvesting(?) the water that was sent airborne, as it created a faint waterspout effect despite the raging whirlpool below.
Edited by GofastmikeopenOId Bomberman Flash Game Videogame
I'm trying to find a really old flash game that I used to play. The game had the bomber man gameplay, but instead of bombs, its water balloons. You play as japan girl who if I can remember, wears red clothing. I believe you fight turtles, but I'm not sure. The game had a similes style to japan chibis and I think the game was in Japanese. Sorry if there isn't much detail since I don't remember it too much.
Edited by RobortNoopenA game about mutant chickens invading from space Videogame
I don't remember much about the game. All I know is that it's a shooter (if you could even call it that) where you click on chickens to "shoot" them... and they explode into a shower of blood and feathers while gobbling like turkeys. But the justification for this is that they're EVIL MUTANT SPACE CHICKENS that are flying in from the moon. You win the game by (somehow, I don't remember) accumulating nukes, and nuking the moon until it's destroyed. I don't recall any other details since it was so many years ago.
I've googled everywhere, and haven't found what I'm looking for yet. I really just want to know what it's called for the novelty of it. Thanks!
openLate 90s or early 2000s infamously broken PC game Videogame
This is going to be a tough nut to crack. There was a game that came out on PC in the late 90s or early 2000s that was noteworthy for having a gigantic patch on release day that replaced ~80% of the files. All I know about it is that it was mentioned in some sardonic PC games magazine (probably PC Accelerator).
openPlaystation 1 horror game Videogame
So yeah, I'm trying to remember the name of this horror game for the PS 1 that came out probably between 1997 and 1999. The most I remember about it was that it was on a demo disc and it was something like a gothic style setting where you're a character who's able to transform into this demon-like creature. The word Primal keeps coming to mind but nothing on Google is helping me.
openLady and the Tramp (?) Puppy Simulator Videogame
I have memories of playing an official Lady and the Tramp game where you took care of a puppy. It was a puppy simulation game ala Nintendogs and it was for PC. The official site had a preview of it and I remember it stated that the full game could be played on DVD.
However, I cannot find any proof that this game existed. What game could it be if it isn't Lady and the Tramp (2?) related?
openAn online game Videogame
When I was young there was an online game probably on Nick Jr’s website about Blue’s Clues. It had you looking around Blue’s house and outside in the streets, playing the Blue’s Clues intro. One of my favourite things was going to a basketball court and just going around in circles. Do you know if Nick Jr still has this up and what it’s called?
openTwo games? Videogame
The first game is a web game (Flash, maybe) about making redheads. You were a red headed guy who is trying to make more redheads. You impregnate women (no visuals) and they have children after a while. The goal was to get a certain number of redheads by the end of the time limit (I believe). They don't always have redheads, though. It wasn't a dating game, more like an arcade game. I believe it was called something like "Invasions of the redheads".
The second game was a (I believe) steam choose-your-own-adventure game. I thought it was called something like "The Earth Explodes" (No Commander Keen) or "The Earth is Yellow". I believe your choices affected what happens to the earth. I believe the example in the description was that you could end up making the earth yellow. That's all I remember.
openCartoon Network MMORPG Videogame
I vaguely remember playing an MMORPG on the Cartoon Network website sometime from around 2008 to 2010. I know for a fact it's not FusionFall, because this game had a different interface and, to my knowledge, none of the characters were from any CN property at the time. This game had a top-down view, and you started out by customizing your human player character. I only played as a guest and never saved my progress, so I don't think I got far enough in the game to really get into the plot (if there was one). I do recall walking around an alien spaceship and some woods (the trees were blue in color, so it might've been a haunted/Halloween-themed area). There was a menu with various faces expressing different emotions you could send out for everyone to see, and there might have been a menu were you could select poses for your character to reenact (this might be a memory from a different game though). I don't think I've seen this game mentioned anywhere listing Cartoon Network's games, so it's entirely possible it was a third-party game they decided to host/promote. I wanna say it was around for only about a year or less, so I don't think it was very popular/successful either.
Edited by CosmicCatopenOld Disney Game (Villains) Videogame
This was an old came on either Disney.com or Disney Channel.com. It wasn't to do with any particular show, instead it was the villains from the animated films, like the Evil Queen. It had something to do with the poison apple (the one that looks like a skull) and a cauldron. Might have been a trivia game; I think it drove my mom insane because it was the same game every time, but I always insisted on playing. I think you also typed your name in at the beginning. Other than that, I just remember all the villains sitting around a room with a cauldron in the middle. I can't find anything about it online, and I'm really just looking for the name or any other information on it; I remembered it the other night, and now I'm stuck trying to remember the rest of it.
openEdutainment cd rom game in the style of a gameshow from the late 90s-early 00s Videogame
Hi guys, I'm trying to find this one edutainment game from the early 00s or maybe late 90s, for the mac and pc. It was in the style of a gameshow. It had two hosts, both kids, one girl and one boy. You never actually saw them completely - they would wave from out of frame during the beginning cutscene and you'd see their arms, but nothing else - just hear their voice.
You could choose an avatar to play as for the game. There were many of them, and they were all kind of weird, things like toasters and forks. They were 3d renderings. I believe they would emote different things if you had a bad turn or something, by crying, etc, but i'm not sure. I can't remember if there was a game board or roulette or what, but I do remember there were many, many minigames you would play, one per turn. I unfortunately do not remember any except for one. You were a small robot shaped like a bug, and you had a top down view of a maze. You navigated this maze by the bug-bot turning its body 90 degree angles every second or so and you would only press forward if it was looking in the direction you wanted to move. It was a weird way to move and it was really hard for me which was probably why it is the only minigame i could remember. The goal was to find some key, or door, or somesort and navigate to the end in the time limit.
It is possible this game was more of a regular game and not necessarily educational, because I can't remember any specific topics they would quiz you on, but i want to assume that it was. It was not associated with any big name characters at all, and was probably from a very small studio, and advanced google searches does not bring up much relevant results at all.
Edited by RupaopenBeat em up about high school? Videogame
So I remember finding a steam page for a game that hadn't been released yet about a tall and thin high school kid. The video had the principal explaining how dangerous the mission (I think he needed the kid to do something) would be and that he was depending on the kid. I believe it had upgradable attacks and special attacks (I think). I remember a scene when the kid was using an attack where he rode a surfboard on a wave or there were sharks on surf boards (Something like that) and there was cactus enemies (This was in a desert. I went to find this and found out I had no bookmarks or anything about this. It had a very cartoony art style (Almost cupheadish) Please help! (Edit: I found it, it was Super Daryl Deluxe. Also, I'm not sure if editing bumps posts up in the chronological feed, so if it does, my sincerest apologies.)
Edited by BurntToastopenSong on Far Cry 5 Soundtrack/Score Videogame
I don’t want to go through and listen to every song on each of the seven thousand soundtracks that have been released for Far Cry 5 so
Does anybody know the name of the instrumental version of “Help Me Faith” in the score?
There are three tracks by the name “Help Me Faith” but they all have lyrics, so if the instrumental version is available, it must have a different name.
Thanks 💖
openLooking for a game Videogame
Hi! Im looking for a game which I saw in a Pewdiepie video on youtube, back in around 2013/2014. I havent watched it since, so I dont remember much about it. Here it goes- It was a PC game, nothing too fancy whatsoever, wasnt made by any of the big game developers and certainly wasnt popular online (it was like a kinda one-shot game a youtuber would play once, and then everyone would forget it) It was bright and cartoon-y. And quite possibly pixel-y. It started off with two girls/women on a bench (in a park i think). They are sitting there and one of these happens- A) one of the girls turns out to be a 'demon' of sorts, who pretended to be the girl & disappears/leaves saying the girl wont see her friend again or something. B) One of the girls gets kidnapped by this demon and the same thing happens. Whatever happens, the remaining girl goes looking for her friend.
There are a few moments in the game, i think, of the 'demon' repeating this bench scene to the girl who is left.
At one point the girl is on a rooftop (possibly at night) and the 'demon' appears to her.
The demon didnt look like a 'hell' demon, which is all red and fiery. It was like grey or purple-y.
It was played by Pewdiepie in a youtube video anytime around 2012-early 2015.
Also, It is NOT- •Japanese style •An old style Rpg (like a gameboy) •A proper horror game •Any of these games~ -Misao -Mad Father -Corpse Party (I posted this on instagram and people said it could be those, but it was not so i decided to put those in)
If you find it, you are officially the greatest person on ymthe internet, and i wish you the most amazing life.
Thank you.
(Even if you find a game thats slightly dissimilar, please tell me anyway as it could help me find it. My memory of the game isnt too good)
openFlash game with burning vampire Videogame
I found this game on one of those sites that collect flash games, Kongregate or Newgrounds or one of them. It's a sidescrolling platform game where you play as a vampire trying to get somewhere. If you go into a sunny area you catch fire, but there are fountains where you can douse yourself again.
openToy based off of Math Blasters? Videogame
Did Math Blasters ever have any medium-sized electronic toys? I have (or at least I had) a toy somewhere from circa 1997-2003 that was a purple math edutainment toy. I remember it being space themed and featuring a young boy. From what I remember, it's battery operated and you click on buttons to solve math problems. I remember it being loud with a lot of pew-pew-pew type noises.
I think it might be Math Blasters related. I've never played a Math Blaster game, but I remember it being "Blaster" related. If it's Math Blasters related, then which is it based on?
openSpace Math Game Videogame
This was a computer game I played in elementary school (So it was about...2004?) I remember we played it in the computer room. There were a lot of math related games, I remember one had to do with shooting numbers that floated by, but the one game I played the most was a game where you just shot lasers at floating space trash (ironically the one game that wasn't math related).
Edited by WarJay77
This one is really hard to describe. It's a game for the PS 2 that has an isometric view and involves either casting magic, fighting with swords or both, similar to the Diablo games. I think it also had the ability to have four players using a four controller port. It may have been either an RPG or dungeon crawler. That's all I remember.
