resolved A Retraux cyberpunk Shoot'em Up. Videogame
I recently saw a trailer for this game but i can't find it anymore. The protagonist is a bounty hunter in a 80s themed cyberpunk world and collects cyborg skulls from gang members he kills. The trailer had several gangs with different themes, one were punks with a leatherman Giant Mook, another was a biker gang, the third was a sports hooligan themed gang with sports shirts and hockey sticks as weapons and the last ones were martial artists/ breakdancers whose boss had a samurai armor and mirror shades. IIRC the biker gang were called The Heatseekers and the martial artists were The Repeat Offenders.
resolved Village prepare for monster Videogame
There was a limited amount of days/turns It was decision-based Multiplayer There were many different endings that could happen A medieval village? Relatively modern
Edited by Super_Troper404resolved What DOS game has mechanics like SCP-1539? Videogame
From SCP-1539 Comments
:
- A very old DOS game. You went around with a fairy, much like manic miner, except she had a wand - you could soak up a single square of anything on the map with one key, and shoot a beam that gave those properties to something else. If you did something specific, you could make hunks of map disappear, too.
resolved NSFW-ish shoot-'em-up Videogame
I tried Deep Space Waifu, but got a little confused, because I was thinking of this entirely different game where you fly a ship and shoot yellow blocks to reveal more of the background (which was of anime girls), and it seemed to control more like Asteroids than a normal scrolling shmup, so you had to carefully steer through the level. I think part of the description/premise was that you're trying to "liberate" the girls from aliens or something, and I swear Total Biscuit did a video on it years ago and that it was on Steam.
resolved An obscure video game where a character regrets her past actions (Found!) Videogame
There was a somewhat obscure video game (maybe an RPG?) that I'm pretty confident that there was a TV Tropes page for a few years ago. But I forgot to bookmark it. The game has an Asian setting in 19XX (Not sure of the actual year). It has two protagonists: a male and a female, both went to the same school. Back in their school days, they had an oppressive government or something along those lines. So some of the students of this school and their teacher started a secret club to rebel against the government's unfairness. Later in the game, it is revealed that the female protagonist had been the one to betray the club and all of the members (because of jealousy or envy of someone else?), and that the male protagonist had been one of the club members and was arrested. The male protagonist is nearly dead, and the female protagonist had actually returned to the school to lament on her past actions that took most of her classmates' lives. That's the most I can recall about it. Please help!
Edited by StrayShardresolved A videogame about a princess. Videogame
The plot of the game is that the princess is a spoiled brat who gets turned down by a prince and tries to prove her worth by going on a quest. One of the game mechanics is that she can use her tantrums to warp reality to change conditions in dungeons and overcome obstacles.
resolved Final Boss Linked to Greed? Videogame
So, I read about this game in a Trope description, but I can't remember which game it was.
Basically, the difficulty of the final boss was directly linked to a room full of treasure. If you opened all the chests and took everything, the boss would be INSANELY hard. If you bypassed the room, the boss would be super easy, like killing a Mook.
Does anyone know what this was?
resolved Victorian Steam Heists *Solved* Videogame
There was a game that i believe i saw a year or so ago on gog.com, but i cant find it there anymore. It was set in a sort of steampunk world, but you played as a human thief, and your goal was to clear out all the cash in each area by hacking into security stuff. I wasnt a very colorful game, but i think its art style was fairly distinct.
Edited by gert10resolved Hercules game for the PS2 Videogame
I don't remember if it was for the PS 1 or PS 2, but in this game, you played as Hercules, Atlanta, or Jason and traveled around Ancient Greece, starting at the top of a mountain where there were cyclopses. Somewhere in the late game, you could go to the edge of the world, and if you died at any point of the game, you had to fight your way out of the Underworld.
I loved this game as a kid, and even if I didn't finish it, I remember hitting the NPCs with my weapon because it was funny watching them say, "Pick on Someone Your Own Size!"
Edited by TroperNo9001resolved Old Star Trek Game Videogame
It might have been based on the original series, it was a really old game I played early 2000s. It was a point and click adventure a bit like the Monkey Island series. I remember when you clicked on the wrong thing it would say 'nothing happens'. There were battles between other ships. There was an option to teleport a party to negotiate peace with another ship or a bomb. There was a scene where you took a severed hand to open a door with it.
resolved Fantasy Educational Game From Childhood Videogame
I think the game came in a set of similar educational games that I played in the school computer lab (Australia). I probably played this game in the late 2000s too alongside ones like Kid-pix and Numbers Up... The main one I'm thinking of was a strategic turn-based game with wizards and dragons and you had to set up all your moves before activating them and the battle would play out and you would see if you countered everything. There were different types of wizards and dragons which had different abilities. I think wizards got burnt to a crisp a lot. The levels got progressively complex. I think it was set in a forest? The graphics weren't high quality but I loved the game. I think some of the games with it were stacking acrobats? Or a seal pool? I think they had minimal text and a predominantly white background. I really loved this game I hope someone knows it! :)
resolved Power Rangers Side-Scroller Computer Game Videogame
Alright, this might be a little vague, but I'm looking for the name of a side-scroller game for PC featuring the Power Rangers. It would have been made/ released between 1998 and 2005. Probably.
The game mechanics are pretty simple: you navigate a Power Ranger riding on a flying jetski (a jetjammer?) up/ down to avoid obstacles, while shooting at the enemies who are flying in from the right side of the screen. I think the enemies had grey, humanoid bodies (perhaps putties from Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers?). The blaster had only one sound effect and I can remember it clear as day: two mechanical clicks followed by two muted explosions, like "chick-chick pew, pew." (My siblings, who remember the game about as well as I do, used to joke that it sounded like a robot saying "kitty-bow-bow," with stress on the "KIT" part of "kitty.") I think the scrolling background was of pixelated brick walls, fire escapes, and other generic urban scenery.
The game was very cheaply made/ cheap looking, and I think it might have been the sort of game you get as a CD that comes in a box of cereal. Any help figuring out what this game was called would be appreciated!
Edited by Leporidaeresolved DS Zombie Game Videogame
I remember a DS game I used to play. It was a side scroller where you were a zombie hunter attacking zombies with weapons that had limited ammo/uses, like a shotgun or a whip. Other than that, it camd out in or before 2009, it was rated E10+, it had a cartoonish but dark art style, and the first boss was supposed to be a zombified version of Whispy Woods from Kirby. Any ideas?
Edited by SwiftSeraphresolved Creepy, surreal game on Newgrounds Videogame
There was this game I played on Newgrounds years ago (maybe 2-5 years). You're playing as a psychic who is tasked with (actually, more like forced into) solving murders by reading the victims' minds.
Every time you look in someone's head, you get this very surreal scene of warped imagery and faces. You have to pay very close attention, because one of the faces that appears is the murderer's face.
Then you get a view of a police lineup, and all the characters are very Gonkish. You have to pick the one whose face matches one of the faces in the victim's mind. Whichever one you choose gets the electric chair.
If you guess wrong, your boss - who seems to be a normal human, but he's covered in shadow - tells you that You Have Failed Me, and that he would do the paperwork to fire you, but what he's about to do is easier. He then shoots you to death, and you get a Game Over screen.
The whole game had a pixellated, monochromatic art style, like the Game Boy. Does anyone know what this game is?
resolved Old fisher-price video game Videogame
When I was a toddler, say 2005, I had a Fisher Price video game that involved a pad that was connected wirelessly to my tv. I put different cards onto the screen of the pad, and that made different games show up on the tv. There was a game about Barney the dinosaur throwing a surprise birthday party, a game where Mr. Krabs forces Spongebob to capture all the jellyfish in Bikini Bottom, and a game about Cookie Monster. I had others that I don't remember. The cards on the pad had different buttons that you could choose. When you touched something on the pad, it made something happen on the tv.
resolved hidden objects mobile game Videogame
This is a mobile game that I got for free on the Google Play Store about a year ago.
It's a hidden objects game, but instead of looking for everyday things lying around a room, you are looking for objects - they can range from animals, to food, to household appliances, and so on - in a huge clump of objects positioned and colored to look like one big object.
In some levels, you have to find all the objects listed. In other levels, you have to find as many specific objects as you can before the time runs out.
There's a hint button that dims the lights a little, and creates a spotlight to indicate where an item is located.
After completing a certain number of puzzles, you must solve a jigsaw puzzle. Once you solve it, you unlock a new level. (You start out with two levels, and one is chosen at random each time you play.)
I could have sworn it was called something like "Little Things", but I tried searching that and couldn't find it.
resolved Flash game about paper and drawing Videogame
There was this flash game I loved playing, probably some time in the early 2010s. You're playing as a wadded up ball of paper, and you have to roll it to the finish in each level. You can draw with the mouse to create platforms for the ball of paper. I think there were pencils and/or erasers as obstacles. Does this sound familiar to anyone?
resolved Strategy Game I can't remember the name of Videogame
I'm trying to remember the name of a strategy game I played on Wii Classic Console many years ago. All I can really remember of it is that it was like Advance Wars, but set on the moon and without C Os. It was also really hard.
resolved Flash game with dinos and UFOs Videogame
There was this Flash game I played probably some time in the late 2000s-early 10's. I can't remember which website I played it on.
It was a side-scrolling shooter/platformer. You're playing as a baby T-rex. I think the game begins with you popping out of your egg. There are some wooden crates to the right, which give you some guns and ammo. Then these UF Os come down and start shooting you. The goal is to shoot down as many UF Os and survive for as long as you can.
Every time you defeat a UFO, it gives you either a new gun, health, or a forcefield. When you've caused enough damage, you do a Limit Break and turn into an adult T-rex that shoots lasers from its mouth.
The UF Os sometimes drop little robots to attack you.
There are no "levels", the game only takes place in a small, rocky arena.
Does anyone know what this game is?

As the title says, am trying to remember the name of a series of puzzle games. What I remember is that it was a point-and-click game, it had to do with this cube that the player was trying to open, with a lot of cool advanced puzzles that tested the players knowledge on various fields, it had to do with demons (apparently) and each time the player completed the puzzle they would get teleported inside of it. It also had this beautiful 3D HD graphics. And each part of the puzzle was its own game. Please help.
