openTrying to remember a surreal Fantasy FPS Mod Videogame
Salvete fellow tropers, I'm looking for an old video game that was very unique but had an impossible to remember name. As the title suggests, it was an FPS Mod (Unreal or Quake I think) with a semi fantasy setting where nothing looked human, your character was a floating, one armed wizard/demon thing (and I think the main villain all along?), and everything was generally alien looking like Oddworld or Zeno Clash. I think the name started with a "Z". I'm kinda new at posting here on the forums so if you have any advice on that as well, please share (I originally posted this on the forums, I'm that new)
openGame on App Store (FOUND) Videogame
I think this came out about two years ago, when iOS 8 was released. They had some games featured on the App Store, and there was this one that I wanted to download, but couldn't since I didn't have enough memory to download the latest iOS. It was called something like "Special Delivery," and it was pixelated with a good bit of pop culture references thrown around in there. The protagonist was a man with short dark hair that is spiked in the front with a five-o'-clock shadow. The in-game camera view was top-down. I think the object of the game was to deliver food to people(?). Anyone know what this is?
Edited by GitarooHeroopen90's edutainment computer game? Videogame
I seem to recall an Edutainment game I played in the 90's or early 2000's. I don't remember many details, but I seem to remember that one section of it involved having to try to make a cake for someone (though I think there were several on the screen. The environment may have had clouds around that point but I'm not sure about that. I can't for the life of me remember what the game was, and I know I played something like that...
openOld CD-ROM kid's game from the 90's Videogame
I played this one CD-ROM game in the 90's that starred a trio of colorful cartoon dinosaurs who traveled through space. It was animated in a 2-D pixelated way similar to early Reader Rabbit games, but with a simpler drawing style. I don't remember the characters' names, but I distinctly remember that one of them was a brontosaurus whose best friend was his tail- that is, he would talk to his tail like it had a mind of its own.
One of their adventures took them to a planet inhabited by these tall, purple aliens with flattened, oval-shaped heads. One of the aliens took them through a tour of this building full of big glass tubes, each one housing a different alien species for study or collection or something. There were about ten floors with ten tubes each, each one with an alien except for the last three tubes- in which the alien then trapped the dinosaurs inside. They escaped when the brontosaurus asked his tail to hit a switch on a nearby wall, which it did.
I only played it once or twice way back in early elementary school, and haven't seen it since. Anyone remember?
openSong Playing During Big Smoke's Order Videogame
A bit of a dumb question. Does anyone know the name of the song that plays in the background during the infamous "Big Smoke's Order" scene from Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas? Judging by the vocals it sounds like a song by Gang Starr, but I don't know the name of it.
openRacing game with in-universe ads Videogame
A PC racing game with in universe ads. Ones a pizza company that lasers a hole in your apartment to deliver the pizza? One of the follow up ads was a glass repair company that fixed the hole the Pizza drone makes.
open(SOLVED) A bit like Maze Hunter 3D, but with bosses Videogame
I remember a game a friend had on his Master System; a top-down shooter in a maze. I initially thought it was Maze Hunter 3 D (in my memory it did make use of the 3D glasses), but the only video I found of MH3D didn't have any bosses, and I distinctly remember the game I saw having bosses.
The first boss was some monster that fired fireballs/energy blasts in three directions at once, except the times it suddenly morphed a dragon-like head and fired a single shot in a completely different direction.
Edited by MedinocopenArms hanging from a wall in video game Videogame
I think I remember something about a first person perspective game, where you at one point see female arms hanging from the wall, with her elbows pointing at you. Like she was trapped inside the wall, or something. Probably 90's game, or early 2000's.
openFrog...bubble...shooter? Videogame
So you're this bipedal frog in a blue t-shirt spitting bubbles at spikeballs and cloud-like things while scaling a 2D-style platform ladder-type setup. Every (rather questionable) death animation was accompanied by some oddly-peaceful music.
Really frustrating, I hated it.
openSomething about blocks Videogame
When I was younger, my grandma would play this computer game all the time. I can't remember much of it, but I think the little symbol thing on the desktop was a red block. I can't describe what the game itself was about, but i remember one level where there were layers of blocks that were always shifting left or right on alternating layers. I think it also had an overworld where you could select levels. Finally, I think it was a Popcap game because some of the other games my grandma played (Zuma, Peggle, Bejeweled, Chuzzle, etc.) were from Popcap.
openTop Down Motorcycle Arcade Game Videogame
A top down motorcycle game released for arcade in the late 80s or early 90s. There are about a dozen other motorcycles on screen at once, and the sprites are rather small. It's top down, but there aren't really any turns in the course, you just move left and right to dodge around the other racers. It's definitely based on track based motorcycle racing because it takes place on a race track, as opposed to being based on motocross and being set on a dirt track. Similar in appearance to Rally Bike,
but it's not Rally Bike. The game I' thinking of is zoomed further out, and has more bikes on screen at a time.
openIndie IOS Puzzle Game Videogame
I think this game was released two year or three years ago. The English translation (originally a Japanese puzzler) was pretty bad, but the concept was super cute.
Basically, you move around two characters, a boy and a girl whose names aren't mentioned, and you help them overcome obstacles such as locked doors, rain, and road blocks in order to meet. At the end of each level (when they finally meet) they do this "after-school dance" thing.
Does anyone know this game? Thanks!
openWIndows Detective Game Videogame
So in this game, you play as an old detective. As always, you're trying to solve a murder. I kinda forgot the gameplay but roughly, in each room, there's some sort of clue, and you click the wrong clues to make it disappear. You can listen to the characters' testimony to determine the right answer. If you click on the wrong answer, there's a thunder sound. Oh, and also, after you finish the stage, there's a footstep representing the murderer's actions.
Thanks in advance.
open90's Educational PC Game? Videogame
There was this point-and-click educational PC game I remember playing in grade school back in the 90's. I can't remember the title, but I remember the plot: there were these little round aliens called 'Bumps' who were basically a bunch of multicolored round blobs with googly eyes and mouths. They were flying in a spaceship and crashlanded on earth, and their spaceship got taken by this young girl who dragged it back to her shed. The Bumps meet up with this little nerdy rat character who tells them that their spaceship is inside the shed, and the girl was an artist who would probably turn it into a sculpture or something, so he helps the Bumps get inside the shed through various physics-based puzzles- using different-sized Bumps to move and lift objects, weigh different things down, and balance platforms to get across to their goal. It was all done in cartoony 2-D graphics, with (I think) pre-rendered 3D backgrounds, like some of the Jumpstart games.
I remember the Bumps being featured in at least one other, similar game too, one that was themed around an alien carnival where you played different games with the Bumps and some other aliens too- the only ones I remember are this one "villain" who looked like a purple anteater who sucked up Bumps through his snout, and a yellow dragon-like Ringmaster character.
openChildren's PC game with orange alien slime woman in space Videogame
When I was kid, I remember opening up what I'm pretty sure was an edutainment game on a public library computer. All I remember is the intro, where there was this thing that might have been a robot strolling casually through space. At one point, some orange slime drips down onto him, he tries to brush it off, and then he gets captured by this large slime alien woman who kept him trapped as a part of her body. I think the game was math related, and might have been part of the math blasters series but honestly I'm pretty unsure.
openVideo game with bad voice acting Videogame
I saw this video on Youtube about bad voice acting in video games and there was this one sound clip where a man was moaning "I grieve, I mourn, help me gods!" in a really melodramatic way. I remember the game had a horse on the cover or someone riding on horseback. I've looked for the video on Youtube but couldn't find it. Help? I'd love to hear the sound clip again, it was hilarious!
openCebeebies Maze game? Videogame
So I remember playing a game on the Cebeebies websites years ago where you had to go through several mazes to deliver things to people? There was a polar bear maze, and others I can't remember. In one maze, you have to get to a picnic. It's not longer on the site and I don't remember what show it is associated with.
openChildren's Reading Computer Game, early 2000s? Videogame
So this has been bothering me for a while now! I remember playing a game as a kid where it was one of those story computer games? You know, the ones where you can interact and have kind of a point-and-click screen as you read a book? It was one of those and I remember the plot vaguely. It was about these monsters who all had noses that were like instruments. (Think Squidward's clarinet style.) and they all rejected this one monster. He eventually went on to be a conductor and stuff and it was really cute.
It's DEEPLY bothering me that I can't remember what it is!
openYou know that video game with the Bear-Aliens? Videogame
I'm looking for this old PC platformer video game. it's probably a 90's game There's this blonde kid on a pink Marty-Mc Fly hover-board... he's got a pink visor and an energy pistol white shirt + blue jeans he's flying around colorful levels inside an alien craft that invaded planet earth and all the aliens are evil breeds of Bears... with bear insignia and picnic basket paraphernalia
anybody remember that?

Hi guys! Some years ago I stumbled upon the wikia of some games and, If I remeber correctly, under the section "objects" or "creatures" there was a thing called Salt Statue or maybe Salt Pillar. I'm sure it was the crystallized body of a once-living thing. The game had the graphics of Tibia or Space Station 13. Please help
