[PC] [2008ish] Turn based animal fighting game

• Upvotes

I played this game years ago maybe 2008 or so. I played it on y8.com so I think it was an html5 game. You would make a team of 6 "creatures" and level them up and fight against other teams. The fighting was just your guys attack based on these little arrow above their head. I say creatures because I remember being able to play animals (lino, bear, monkey.. so on) and dinosaurs and like a ghost and scarecrow. The ghost had a ? attack so it would just hit a random enemy. There was the original and sequel. I seem to remember the logo of the games clip art being a paw of some kind. the fight screen was 2 rows of 3 front and back row and the opponent would have the same. Outside of combat the map was couple lines would different colour squares on it, think old pokemon mini maps. Any help would be appreciated.

phantom brave [TOMT][PS2][2000S] Looking for a ps2 era trpg or jrpg game that has a message in a bottle floating towards a beach

• Upvotes

Im looking for a ps2 era video game. I think that it was a jrpg from the style of it. My parents bought me it when i was young so i didnt understand it and didnt play it but now im looking to find out what game it was. From what i can remember it had a message in a bottle as the title screen and then when the game begins the character begins on an island. Really hoping someone else may have played this because it’s bothering me not to remember this. I remember the game being a tactical grid rpg and having similar graphics style to final fantasy tactics, I already looked at that and don’t think it’s it I’m thinking I’m maybe confusing it with the mana series but hoping maybe someone has my answer.

Sea Monsters: A Prehistoric Adventure [PS1?][Gameboy?] [Early 2000s?] Game where you play as a underwater creatures

• Upvotes

There was a game I used to play at my uncle's house all the time when I was little. It was completely underwater and you played as sea creatures , pretty sure prehistoric like. I don't remember if there was combat, I just know I kept dying in it because I didn't understand it. I'm pretty sure it was exploration based and you could pick your creature, and it didn't save, you just had to start over when you died.

Edit def not Gameboy I meant possibly GameCube

[Browser/Flash] [2000s] Three foot ninja type graphic

Post image
• Upvotes

Hi everyone, first post here. I suddenly remembered some memories about a flash game that i have played when i was still using diapers. I remember that the character was still a ninja and nearly looked as same as the 3 Foot ninja 2's main character. I barely remember any more details about the game. It was a side scroller for sure and the character is a ninja(?).

Dreadnought: Tartarus [Windows?][2026+] Top-down perspective game with a giant capital ship over a city

• Upvotes

Platform(s): Windows, possibly others

Genre: Arcade? Gameplay reminded me of Missile Command in a way

Estimated year of release: 2026 or later

Graphics/art style: High fidelity sci-fi "realism"

Notable characters: Unknown

Notable gameplay mechanics: Defend a massive capital ship from waves of attackers with various weapons

Other details: Saw a trailer or preview of this, and I've seen it plagiarized for Infinite Lagrange-style mobile games on Facebook ads, but I can't recall the real game's name. Gameplay seems to be a modern, high fidelity Missile Command, possibly with roguelike or RPG elements to it in the form of upgrades. The footage I recall showed an isometric perspective of a massive capital ship warping in right over a city. The player has to click on waves of approaching enemies to shoot them down while the capital ship drifts slowly over the city. It's not clear if you're defending or assaulting the city, or if you can control the capital ship beyond clicking to shoot down enemies. Graphics were realistic, full 3d, high fidelity.

Sorry for the lack of detail, I was at work when I saw the brief glimpse of footage I got and I couldn't look into it further.

[Android] [2010s] Truck game with simple blue starter truck and white circle wheels

Post image
• Upvotes

(Reference image above)

The year is only an estimate.

When I was a child, I used to play a truck game on my old tablet, probably a Samsung Tab 3. I'm trying to find this game again, but I don't remember its name.

Some details I remember:

- I think the starting truck was blue (not very light or very dark), simple, with no drawings or logos.

- In the shop, there was another truck that was red. It was taller, had 3 wheels on each side, 6 wheels in total, a cab-over cab, and a roof deflector. Like the blue truck, it had no drawings or logos and had simple wheels with white circles.

- All the trucks in the game had plain paint, with no textures or designs, and the wheels of the controllable vehicles were just white circles, with no details.

- The camera was in third person. I'm not completely sure, but I think the screen stayed fixed even when the truck changed direction, and the camera could be moved with your fingers.

- There were missions around the city.

- I'm not completely sure about this, but I also remember that the pickup and delivery locations may have been marked by tall beams of light reaching into the sky.

- I think the game had somewhat realistic physics, with the truck sometimes being able to slide on the road if it was going too fast or hit something.

- The game had simple graphics, somewhat similar to the image above, but it wasn't as low-poly as the image, and it wasn't exactly that game.

Does anyone remember what game this might be?

I have a vivid memory of staying over my friends house in the early 90s playing a two player game either on Genesis or NES (or another less popular console around that time) one guy was red and the other was blue. I swear the first level was pirate themed.

So there was this PC game where you had to click on the 2D gunslinger Sprites that would go from one area of the screen to another to take them out. I had it on an old PC that had Windows 95 on it, I think it might have been gun something but idk. all I know is I used to play it back in the day and I can't seem to find it anywhere. the X's are where you click on the gunslingers....or cowboys?

[Browser/Flash][2005-2015] Obscure 2D Isometric Fantasy RTS / Lane Strategy with a U-shaped map, neutral dragons/trees, and aggressive AI

Post image
0 Upvotes

Genre: Real-Time Strategy (RTS) / Lane-based / Tug-of-war / Castle vs Castle.

Estimated year of release: definitely played before 2016

Graphics/art style: Pixelated, 2D isometric top-down view (reminiscent of Age of Empires or classic 2D fantasy strategy games). Medieval / Fantasy theme. Single fixed-screen map layout (no screen scrolling).

Notable characters / mechanics:

  • Neutral Defenders: The neutral capture points were defended by neutral fantasy creatures, specifically remember a Dragon (or Dragon's Nest) and/or a Giant Tree / Tree of Life.
  • Match-ending rule: The game did NOT end immediately when your main base/castle fell. As long as you had surviving units on the field, the match continued, giving you a chance to recapture your base or capture neutral points.
  • Aggressive "Sniper" AI: Neutral capture points did NOT reset their HP if your attacking force died. If you weakened a neutral dragon/tree down to low HP but lost your units, the AI would aggressively send a single unit to finish off the defender and claim the capture point on your side of the map. (or something like that)

Notable gameplay details:

  • Level-based structure: Stage/level progression (not an open-world game).
  • Map Layout: The map had a very distinct U-shape / horseshoe layout (see sketch link below). The two main bases/castles were located at the top two corners. The path curved down along the sides to the bottom center where armies met.
  • Non-aligned / Neutral points: Along the side paths of the "U", there were neutral capture points/structures (guarded by the mentioned dragons/trees).

Takeover is the closest what i get https://www.crazygames.com/game/takeover to this lost game

Sorry for the paint draw, that the closest i remember from my brain.

[PC] [unknown] Point and click puzzle game in the first level you had to fix a red plane in a closed garage at the docks.

2 Upvotes

Platform:
PC (played it on browser).

Genre:
2D point and click adventure/puzzle game.
Camera was 2D side view, where you clicked around the environment to collect and combine items.

Estimated year of release:
Between 2005–2010 (flash era).

Graphics
The art looked hand-drawn/animated and was very simple and colorful.

Notable characters:
I don’t remember any characters other than the protagonist and I can't for the life of me remember how he looked like.

Notable gameplay mechanics:
You had an inventory where you collected objects and combined them to solve puzzles. In the first level, you were inside a garage and the main goal was to repair a red airplane by finding parts/tools. You needed to click different hotspots, pick up items, and use them in the correct order to fix the plane.

[PC][2008ish] A game I used to play in highschool, it looked like a command prompt and from memory had the mafia & the police in it. I remember you could use pick up line something like "I want to throw your legs over my shoulders and wear you like a feedbag"

1 Upvotes

Platform(s): PC

Genre: Text based game

Estimated year of release: 2008 or there around

Graphics/art style: It was purely a text based game and the UI looked similar to a command prompt

Notable characters: Can't remember

Notable gameplay mechanics: It felt almost like a text based version of GTA but with pick your own adventure elements. I feel like you could have party members with certain classes and you could put them to work as well, I think the goal was to take over a city.

Other details: I remember the pick up lines in it used to always make me laugh because they were so ridiculous.

[PC][Unknown] First-person point and click, woman gets a phone call then goes into a big modern building with elevators

3 Upvotes

Platform(s): PC, I played it on Windows XP around 2009-2014, but it could be older.

Genre: First-person point and click puzzle game with an inventory. Not a hidden object game.

Estimated year of release: no idea

Graphics/art style: still screens you click through, looked realistic (maybe pre-rendered, I'm not sure they were photos). Everything inside was bright, a lot of white.

Notable characters: The main character was a woman and I remember a female voice talking during the game, like to herself. I barely remember seeing any other characters.

Notable gameplay mechanics: You pick stuff up into an inventory bar and use it on things or combine items. You moved up through the building with elevators, a bit like floor by floor.

Other details: this was a long time ago so some of it might be mixed up. I think there was a phone call at the start and then she went to the building (hotel? office? tower?). At some point an alarm went off, the music got tense and metal bars dropped over the doors. I think I needed wire cutters for that. Later I remember unscrewing a vent to get onto the roof. Early on there was something with vases or gems too. It didn't feel like a horror game.

I already checked these and they're not it: Master Thief: Skyscraper Sting, 3 Days: Zoo Mystery, Rhianna Ford & the Da Vinci Letter, Nancy Drew (Treasure in the Royal Tower, The Final Scene, Stay Tuned for Danger), Carol Reed games, The Fall Trilogy Ch. 2, Dark Fall: The Journal, Drawn: The Painted Tower, Traitors Gate.

Thanks for any ideas!

[Mobile][2016] What is this mobile game I used to play?

Post image
6 Upvotes

This is pretty vague, and I'm not sure anyone will get it but I used to play a game a lot that I think was an educational puzzle game, I'm pretty sure you were a block sort of creature that looked kind of like the Blooket blocks. The only things I mainly remember about it is there was a level builder than turned the background into a gridded blueprint, and you could place blocks. The only books I remember is that there was Lava and a block that was a cracker that you had to eat through to get to the other side. (The character you could play as was more colorful, but I just did a random color)

Need help finding a Roblox game i played a few months ago, it was a puzzle game with a very calming and frutiger aero/dream vibe

I remember some mechanics:

You could use clouds to float

One puzzle had to choose the correct weight on a scale or something

And there were windmills that would push you forward

The lobby was in the sky and you would slowly collect abilities like double jumping

I remember i saw a walkthrough on YouTube too

I can't find it anywhere but it was on a channel made for Roblox walkthroughs

about maybe two years ago, I remember playing this kinda creepy point and click game that reminded me a bit of Machinarium, but not at all. in one section, it hqd some kind of floating jellyfish that would electrocute the character you played as (a boy with brown hair), and in another it would have these almost benches or tables that were normal in the light, but turned into some kind of dog or beast in the dark. the title could have been something like Creed or Creeds, but I tried to search that up and didn’t find anything

I remember playing this game on my phone in 2017 that my Gf at the time showed me. It's about driving around with trucks/tractors, etc? on a overview map with factories driving around from factory to factory. gameplay was sideview with a rough terrain. and you could choose to drive/reverse at different speeds. for the lolz you could equip a truck trailer to a small tractor and you could autofill, or load the materials urself before driving off. anyone any idea?

[Flash] [circa 2010] Children's TV tie in web game where you controlled a steampunk-style airship around the world to visit landmarks

2 Upvotes

Platform(s): Web browser, Flash(?)

Genre: Educational, Geography, Tie-in to British children's TV show, probably CBeebies

Estimated year of release: Mid 2000s - Mid 2010s

Graphics/art style: Cutout pictures for the main character and landmarks, 3D modeled airship sprite, rest of the game in a simpler 2D style, but with a 3D animated globe.

Notable characters: Explorer who was the main character of the show. Light skin with dark hair, had a hat and a green shirt under a brown jacket with large boots. I do not remember what the show was called and searching for it has not yielded me any results.

Notable gameplay mechanics: You would control the airship with the mouse and it would stay in the center of the screen while a globe turned underneath it, allowing you to visit natural landmarks around the world, and when you found one there would be a popup telling you about it, and you could extend a rope down from your airship to visit it? I do not remember anything else from this game, so i might be missing significant gameplay information.

Other details: Angel Falls and Victoria Falls were two of the landmarks you could visit, out of about 20 across the entire world.

Graphics/art style: 2D (it was an isometric 2D game, if im not mistaken?), bright/pastel colors, small cartoony animals of various colours

Notable characters: n/a , it was all just random animals.

i faintly remember playing this game from a 300+ games cartridge i used to have for my DS, back in 2019-2020 iirc. the cartridge. I saw this post that i believe was looking for the same game im describing, but got no responses.

I don't remember anything about the game aside from the soundtrack sounding very, VERY similar to C418 Mice on Venus from Minecraft.

I vaguely remember the game having a Light/Dark theme with good and evil but even that I'm not 100% sure on.
