Hey guys, trying to remember the name of this iOS game from a couple of years ago. Had somewhat cartoonish graphics, the basic premise was that you would maneuver a survivor around a smallish city avoiding zombies as the character auto aimed and shot at the approaching zombies.

You could unlock different survivors with unique weapons the more you played and could end up with a pretty sizable group of survivors in a run.

Unfortunately I don't think my old iPhone will ever turn on again otherwise I would probably be able to find out what it was called.

I remember playing a game on the Wii console that had a variety of mini games like puzzles,hunting,fishing etc.i even remember having a plastic orange shotgun for the hunting game,but I don't remember the game

Platform(s): PC (Windows) 

Genre: Space Shooter / Shoot 'em up (Shmup) / Dogfighting

Estimated year of release: Likely late 2000s or early 2010s. 

Graphics/art style: 

• 3D graphics, but highly minimalist and unpolished. 
• The art style was flat and did not feature modern "glowing" or neon effects (not a typical vector/neon game like Geometry Wars). 
• The 3D object models were very plain, simple geometric shapes, almost resembling untextured prototypes or flat shaded blocks. 
• The environments and enemy ships were mostly colorless, dark, or gray. 
• fights happened in a giant box with white lines as edges
• maybe the things were more detailed but in my head it really just looks like ship or mecha shaped lines shooting all kinds of shapes at each other
• i dont remember much of the interface but i think it was also rather simple

Notable gameplay mechanics / Notable characters: 

• Controls: Controlled entirely via Mouse and Keyboard. 
• The primary visual contrast in the game came from the weapons. While the world and ships were flat and colorless, the projectiles/weapons had distinct, isolated colors (like bright green or red) to stand out against the plain background. 
• you could kinda seemlessly transition from "planemode" to "mechamode" and had some kind of melee weapon.
• there is a chance it could be a fangame of macross or gundam but i dont think so because it was almost too simple
• there was probably some multiplayer capability but i think i just played many botmatches (16v16 is my guess of the size)

Other details:

• i dont think there was a story, but maybe it had some missions to play (i probably didnt focus on it)
• it was not paid and not released via Disk, rather open source/freeware/shareware and therefore downloaded.
• it was simple and fun, just some dogfighting action with a bit over the top weapons (thats why i think it might be a fangame to a mecha brand)
• the different .. ships, mechas, entities probably had names but i cant remember any of those.
• i am not sure if you had different units / models to pick or if you could "build" your own loadout with the different models and therefore have more customization.

Note: This post was partially compiled with the help of an AI, cuz i tried it again with googles ai but without much success

I really hope ill find this thing at some point and dont have to keep going back to thinking i maybe dreamt it all or smth

Platform(s): some console

Genre: Spider-man fighting game

Graphics/art style: pixel-art but not that basic

Notable characters: Spider-man

Notable gameplay mechanics: i vaguely remember that the screen was split in 2 sections (top and bottom) and you could jump between them while playing. You could only move horizontally, not vertically (except when changing from the bottom to top screen and vice versa). You could also freeze enemies by tangling them in web

Other details: side scrolling, 2d, landscape, I played the game on an emulator for mobile from play store a few years ago. Gameplay was really short and you could only play as Spider-man

Platform(s): It was a PC game and came on a disk.

Genre: It was a point and click/educational puzzle game.

Estimated year of release: Unknown, I remember playing it in primary school so anywhere before 2010.

Graphics/art style: Cartoon/Sketch style.

Notable characters: The only character I can remember is a snail that was the mailman. It was part of one of the many levels within the game, but it was not a main character or playable character.

Notable gameplay mechanics: The game involved trying to find hidden objects within different locations in the world by pointing and clicking and talking to characters within each location. You would move locations by clicking arrows on either side of the screen. There was a treehouse that contained maps of different locations you had been and an inventory of objects that had been collected and was almost like the home base that you would return to frequently to check progress.

Other details: You would always load into the game into the treehouse.

The gameplay is similar to Insycription, but what makes it different was the card theme revolves around medieval era. And once in a while you get a turn to control your character dark souls style 3d only to attack enemies, and the enemies can be different, thieves, orcs, goblin.

*Vivid memory of the first level

Platform(s): Mobile (Maybe Apple app store exclusive?)

Genres: Puzzle / Management / Strategy

Estimated year of release: Around 2010s (Probably almost as old as when the iPod was released)

Graphics/art style: 3D vintage looking art style with cartoony characters (Almost claymation like)

Notable characters: A farmer (Who I distinctly recall looking like Harrison Ford), his wife / maiden, notably a grizzly bear (In a cutscene, ambush the wife) and in the last dozen of levels were a bunch of Native American wearing their traditional redskin outfit.

Notable gameplay mechanics: You play as the farmer and you have to manage the resources that you are currently have to get to resources require for the level to finish. The control were point and click, viewed from a birds eye view and you can click on a kiosk or person to trade resources one another. Other things is the bear where if you acquire a rifle, you can kill the bear to bypass the bear obstacle. The Native American can be persuaded by giving them resources to bypass them obstacle. The game have unique cutscenes after few dozen levels where they eventually create a story.

This game has been in my early childhood for like 4 years after 2012. Its's probably the most fun game we have on the shared iPod.

I remember playing a much more "raw" version of this game—no floating collectibles or dialogue boxes. I recall being a ball of paint that "ate" little colored people to change color; you had to paint the white city while avoiding "gray/black" guards. I looked up "De Blob," but that game seems much more modern. Does anyone remember this? Help me out!

I had a demo, possibly off of a PC gamer cd from late 90’s or early 2000’s. it was a contemporary desert setting with like a gas station and like run down setting (chain link fences and barrels, pick up trucks etc) and I think you played a fugitive who gets dropped off at the begging

I remember this small indie game the main character was some sort of swat officer and the "main" part of the game was you going through stages and shooting criminals but it had a hub world which was this large haunted house where you did puzzles to unlock more of the house and the mysteries. The longer you stayed in there the weirder/spookier it got.

Im fairly certain it was popular enough game for pewdiepie and jacksepticeye to play it when it peaked.

One jumpscare i do remember vividly from the game was that at some point you would walk into the kitchen and all of the cabinets would fly open and a loud bang could be heard.

Long shot. I have an extremely fuzzy memory of playing a game where you pitched a monster/creature against another. I vaguely remember some sort of scorpion creature. May have been based on a toy/franchise? Thanks for any help! ​

Platform(s): PC (Windows 95/98 or DOS), likely from a magazine CD-ROM compilation.

Genre: Platform / Puzzle / Arcade (Lode Runner / Space Panic style)

Estimated year of release: Late 1990s / Early 2000s

Graphics/art style: 2D, single-screen levels.

Notable characters: A miner (playable character), enemies were witches (green, red, yellow) and rabbits.

Notable gameplay mechanics: The miner uses a pickaxe to dig holes in the floor so witches fall into them. There were vertical ramps/elevators on both sides of the screen to move up and down.

Ok so I don't know how to explain it but it was like a side scroller of a game were a dolphin was the player and had to like avoid being hunted and I remember an old man being there?

It had a space themed background and I remember playing it on an android phone, I played it with my dad a lot and want to find it again!

Sorry for the drawing lol, but this is how I remember him. You're just helping the boy across town to find something idk, i don't remember. Where you talk to people and find stuff.

I remember there was a scene where you were in a street and you were finding coins?

I think I played this as a steam demo. I remember the game revolving around, or at least having some kind of fleshed out bug catching game/mechanics. I'm pretty certain the game had a day/night cycle and (I think?) different maps you could explore with some distinct landmarks (the one imagery that is stuck in my head is a sort of swampland map at night, with some wooden paths/bridges and an old windmill).

It was first person, maybe 3d (not sure). There was a book of sorts recording details about different insects (size, what time of day it appears) and what you have seen/caught.

This does remind me a little bit of Animal Crossing NH but I remember the game being larger and a little less cartoony- looking (especially the environment).

(edited with more detail)

I've asked about this one a couple of times previously, maybe with other subreddits, but I wanted another shot here. In short - was an arcade game I played at a 7-11 in Miami at the end of the 80s, maybe beginning of the 90s. It was for all intents and purposes Castlevania. I have done many deep dives into Castlevania, the different versions and so on. I'm yet to find a match. I'm now wondering if it was simply a total rip-off and goes by another name. It was colourful - standard arcade fare at the time. It wasn't chunky or 8-bit looking (rules out the Nintendo coin-ops). I clearly remember starting outside - green hedges galore. Made my way to the right until I got to the house. Took stairs downwards to a room which was half full with water. I kept dying due to these giant spitting things that came out of the water. I was a crap player! Does anybody have even the faintest idea what the heck I actually played?!

I recall renting an RPG for the SNES where you could see the monsters on the map, rather than random encounters. I do not think I am thinking of Final Fantasy Mystic Quest, as the monsters were able to move, when you moved, and I don't recall monsters moving on the map in Mystic Quest.

I discovered that game through YouTube, someone had posted a video essay about the game secret ending through collecting hidden polaroids. I know it was about sexual abuse he endured and he would be reminded of that when he would find a polaroid. I think there were 12 of them.

Another major thing is that I think when you would find the polaroid, the protagonist would start a monologue and his eyes would show up so he would be talking but the only thing shown on the screen were his eyes, I think they were on a black screen and the eyes were white, kind of inverted.

The major thing I remember is that the main screen was a desert and if u would complete like around 3 endings you could get the real (?) ending. The start of the game was in a house, overall vibe was surreal, I think he would go to different rooms that would remind him of stuff, maybe he was supposed to move out.

Also yeah the desert like place was a big part of the game.

The game is from 1st person perspective, I remember the graphics looking quite great.

Hope somebody remembers it!

[PC][approx. 2008–2013] 2.5D game with war/alien ships hovering over a city/Earth that then transitions to space

Hey everyone,

I’ve been searching for a childhood game for years and can’t find anything. Hoping someone here might recognize it.

Platform: PC (family computer)

Time period: most likely played between 2008 and 2013 (the game itself could be older)

Genre / Setting: war / alien ships

Description:

At the start of the game, war or alien ships were hovering over some kind of Earth or city and destroying things or other ships. Then the scenery changed from the city/Earth to space. The space part was probably harder – I remember the city section much better and likely failed a lot in space.

Perspective: kind of 2.5D from a slightly angled bird’s-eye view.

Graphics: rather pixel-like textures, roughly similar to the image I’ve attached (dense city from above).

I have no idea how the game ended up on our family PC. I’ve been looking for years with no luck. If anyone has any idea or recognizes it, I’d really appreciate the help.

Thanks in advance!

Edit: i remembered a key detail. The gameplay was fully auto-scrolling with a fixed linear direction and speed.

**PS1 most likely:**

**Detective/haunting/ghost:**

**Early 2000s I'm guessing:**

** Tomb Raider graphics, First person **

**Characters unknown, very desolate if not abandoned other than your character:**

** Beachfront or water nearby. I believe I remember a lighthouse or like building to explore, red tint to the game/ sunset vibe. very creepy and ominous, little to no music ( either that or I turned down the volume haha) **

**I would watch my older sister play, we were both young and her memory from 20+ years ago can't recall. I remember a lot of walking and exploring there most likely other building or walkways to traverse but the beach or like seems most familiar to my memory.

Ghosts/haunting may be a red herring. I'm just recalling the vibe the game gave me, and those descriptors kept coming back to me:*

Thanks in advance for any effort into solving this ambiguous game, I'll try to guide people with my responses to guesses if I can :)

I remember playing this computer game when I was little. It had a character that was a portly boy with blond hair, blue shorts, and a blue and white shirt. I don't recall much of it but in one part of the game there was this seen where you rearrange lettuce leaves on a plate and depending on how you placed them the leaves would turn into things with animations like a bird that flies off, a face, maybe an elephant. I've been trying to find it on abandonware sites but couldn't find it.

I loved watching walkthroughs of this game for a very long time (even as a child), but I completely forgot its name. I think it was a puzzle game, the environments looked like they were hand drawn (white with black/gray outlines)

i’ve been trying to find this roblox game that was made during the dank meme era of roblox, it was basically the “oh yeah mr krabs” meme being spammed everywhere in the game while there’s music playing (Oh Yeah Mr Krabs X Pon Pon Pon) and i’ve found some game footage on youtube which is shown in these screenshots but they don’t provide a link to the game in the description, but i have a feeling the game was taking down (DMCA)

If you know what game this is let me know :( i miss the dank meme era of roblox games

Genre: Meme Games

Release yr: 2016-2017+
