openOld Point and Click Game Videogame
I'm trying to find an old game. It was maybe point and click and involved using cars to hunt ghost cars or something like that. Thanks in advance!
Also:
- ghost cars were only in part of it
- there was a haunted mansion with some undead cars you had to ghostbust
- there was also a park, i think, and a mechanic shop
openTrying to remember the name of these games Videogame
So yeah, as the title suggests, for the last few years, I've been trying to remember these two games that I remember playing as a kid (they were like some of the very first games I ever played, they were my gateway games) but I can't remember the name of and in one case, I'm starting to wonder if it was like this childish fever dream.
The first one was a side scroller where you play as a frog with a red cape (or some kind of cape) but now I'm starting to wonder if it was a bee in a cape. The gameplay was simple, just hit the enemies as they come on screen and the general look of it was like this forest setting. No matter how I rearrange the search, simply searching for "A game with a frog" in it just brings up Frogger.
The second is harder to describe but it was one of those games where you're just jumping upwards and hitting things as they come, it was a very colourful game, all I think I can remember was like rainbows, giant gum balls and generally a world that would come right out of one hell of an LSD trip.
Both games I think are for the Atari, mostly I just remember the joystick which was the black, square base with the joystick in the middle and a red button in the corner and both games were older than 1995 or so.

open2D Beat 'Em Up video game featuring Lincoln, Gandhi, Hitler etc Videogame
I remember playing a 2D Beat 'Em Up video game on PC in the last 15 years (probably 2003-2010) where you controlled parodies of famous historical characters like Lincoln, Hitler, Gandhi, etc and you had to jump around and fight the other characters. It was a very fast-paced game where you had to keep jumping around the screen and punching or kicking the other characters. It was a small, indie game as far as I remember. The characters were either chibi/super deformed or tiny with large boxing gloves.
Edited by 42edopenA deadly game platformer Videogame
There was this old 80s PC game that i'm trying to remember. It was a side-scrolling platformer where you were a condemned criminal who got put into a Deadly Game where you were locked in a suit of power armor (which looked vaguely like ED-209) and forced to climb to the top of an arena past numerous traps and enemies, while the entire arena was filled with acid.

openWeb Game Featuring Rabbits Videogame
I played it circa 2010 to 2012. It was still unfinished at that point. I remember it taking place on an island where you had to break rocks, build things, and kill monsters. It was most likely a sandbox game. It was long too and I believe it used a save system. I remember at least one love interest rabbit girl that you could marry (?).
Edited by Pichu-kunopenNo Title Videogame
Here are three games I remember playing as a kid (2000, 2001). They were likely DOS games, as I played them on my dad's laptop along with "Monster Bash with Johnny Dash" and "Commander Keen", but they could have also been emulated games since my dad was really into emulation. Here are three games I remember playing:
1. This game was a platformer where you played as an elf-like character. The graphics made it so that he didn't have a face, but you could see the signature hat. For the first part, you ran through a forest or mountain, than entered some structure, probably a castle. Along the way, there were little gems to collect and keys to unlock doors.
2. This game was a top-down game similar to The Legend of Zelda. The main character was a viking (or a dwarf). There were two or three levels. I think the player would eat apples to get points or restore health points. One part I remember quite clearly was in the first level, where you entered a cave and the perspective changed to 2D, again much like The Legend of Zelda. After climbing some ladders, there was a part where several snakes extended down from the ceiling and you had to time it so you didn't get hurt as you ran under them. Every time the player was injured there would be this crazy-loud grunt that would sound.
3. This game was also top-down, but it was a shooter and the graphics were better (perhaps 16 bit). I strongly believe the title of the game had the word "Dogs" in it. There were several levels, and I'm fairly sure the first one was indoors. I don't remember the story, but there were several enemies to kill as you moved through whatever the building was.
openTwo Deleted Nickelodeon Online Games Videogame
Does anyone know which games I'm thinking of? I'm having a hard time finding anything on them online. I remember them being Teen Nick (The N?) games circa 2008-2011.
One was a dating sim. I remember it being on The N's website.
The other was probably on The N as well. I remember you being able to create a character. It was a high school sim. You could date and other things. I don't think it was a MMO.
openPoint-and-click adventure game about ghosts Videogame
I’m looking for the title of a computer game I bought at Staples a few years ago. I think I may have bought it before Windows 10 came out, making it somewhere around 2010-2015. It was likely either a modern title or a port, since I think it played on my Windows 7 laptop without issues.
In the game, you go through this house, room by room. In each room, there’s a ghost that you need to help so they can “move on”. I think there were 7-9 ghosts total. The first room was to the left when you walked in, and might’ve been a living room or library. In it, you put together the pieces of a monkey idol, and then used the idol to travel back in time to the circumstances surrounding the first ghost’s death. The first ghost died via human sacrifice. I think they were Mayan or Incan. After solving the puzzle in the past, the ghost was able to move on. The ghosts all seemed to follow the same formula, at least as far as I got— solve a puzzle in the present (maybe to make them trust you?), travel back in time to their death, and solve another puzzle, ghost moves on. The second ghost was a ship captain, and I think the third one was a Japanese bride in the basement. The Japanese one had a jump scare when you went to look through the keyhole (a bloodshot eye staring at you). The Japanese one’s current day puzzle involved trimming a bonsai, and the past one involved moving furniture around to match a scene. Upstairs was an ancient Egyptian in the bathroom (with another jump scare I think). I don’t think I got much farther than that. I think you had to get through all the ghosts on the ground floor before you could go upstairs, and there was another ghost that acted as a guide, that may have had a female voice.
openNo Title Videogame
This one's a PC game.
It's some sort of real-time tactics thing (think Commandos) where you begin with some caveman, you can dictate his posture and movement speed to a very fine degree. The options being standing up, hunched slightly, crouching, crabbing and crawling, and whether to tiptoe, walk, jog, run and sprint. There might have been some type of subsystem damage for his limbs, and maybe squad commanding in later levels. I distinctly remember getting mobbed by some enemy and hearing him complain about "How am I supposed to run with a leg like this?!" before promptly dying.
openGame with a Meeting at a Church Garden Videogame
I only have second-hand knowledge of the game in question from a story my fiance told me. Some years ago she played a game with a friend of hers. The scene in question involved the player character meeting someone in a church garden at midnight. She didn't see enough of the game to know the genre or the characters names. What she does remember is how the place looked: It was apparently a darker atmosphere, and the area featured a large flower garden inside the church walls, surrounded by cloistered walkways. The scene, as I mentioned before had the player character arriving there for a scheduled meeting with another character at midnight.
That's about all I know about it. It was back in the early 2000s that she remembers seeing it, and on a playstation console so that would make it either a PS 1 or a PS 2 game. The 'midnight meeting' might suggest that there was some kind of 'time' system or day and night cycle in place, but it could have also just been a scripted event. I've tried suggesting a few games that I know of that have prominent scenes taking place in churches, such as Final Fantasy VII and the Legacy of Kain series but no luck.
I know it's a long shot because I don't really have much information outside of what she's told me, but if anyone has any ideas I'd love to hear them.
openDog DS Game Videogame
I used to have this dog video game from 2005-2010 or so, and I remember the person who gave you the dog was named Chris or something of the sort, your best friend was either April or May, or some other month name, you entered your dog in dog shows, you didn't have to walk the dog, and the music sounded barkish at times and happy and bouncy. If anyone has any leads, it was for the Nintendo DS. Many thanks!
openTv show that was about a few teens that could travel to a game Videogame
When I was young there was a show that had about 3 teens that were in the real world but found some kind of portal in a basement (had pipes or something similar in it) and met 2 characters in this video game world. The world was kind of like a maze with different lvls (floors if you could call it) One of the characters they met was a girl, and the other was her friend who was like a lizard dog character (was green the the game world but wasn't able to go to the real world with his companion and pretty much talked through her backpack, as far as I can remember), I ant remember any of their names. Any ideas? I've looked everywhere, I believe the show was on around 2000-2010
Edited by SpinarackopenWiiware mario style platformer with freezing gimmick Videogame
So there was a game, I think it was a wiiware or Wii U indie game where you play a girl with a camera that you can use to freeze moving platforms. It was a 3rd person platformer. Any help is appreciated.
openWell, it's actually homeschooling software... Videogame
Back around grade 5 / grade 7 - 2002/2004 (in Alberta, Canada), my mom used a piece of software to help us with our homeschooling. It had a variety of subjects, there was a quiz at the end of each lesson, and it was a really well-put together piece. You could customize your profile with a variety of themes, at least one type of quiz had this cool rocket theme where you were zipping about in a space station trying to answer the questions... I learned a lot from that piece of software, and the gamification of the whole thing always made me look forward to learning. I remember there was one video in a water module about not wasting water; it had a song and everything put to videos of people flushing, brushing their teeth, and washing their hands. I may have grown past the need for it, but it still brings me fond memories and I'd like to see if I can find videos of it online.
I thought it was called Operation Schoolhouse, but when I searched that term, all I found was a charity. I don't know if it was widespread or not, but I'd love to find it if possible.
openbeen thinking about it forever :( Videogame
It was an old school video computer game, on the pc i think. I played it as a kid (born in 99). it was kind of a map that you went through. there was a bit where you end up at a fair/carnival-like thing. i also remember a moose (or maybe a horse) who like was in a widow and ate food and made very loud eating noises. sorry this is super vague.
There was this Mobile Phone Game that I got off the Google Play store a few years ago, but I can't remember what it was called.
When you started up the game, there were 9 little screens that appeared. One of the screens would light up, and you would play a minigame. As you kept playing, more screens would light up, and you would have to do more minigames at the same time, and the object of the game was to last as long as you can before running out of lives.
I don't remember many of the specific minigames... there was one where you have to hold up an umbrella to prevent the room from filling with water and drowning a guy. I think there was also one where you had to pull up a rope.
Does anyone know what this is?
