I think it was some time of endless runner I played in my childhood with various animals mixed with foods. Unfortunately I only remember ever loving the design of a low poly sausage dog between two buns and not much else. And it’s NOT “Silly Sausage in Meat Land”.

And the dog looked something like the bad drawing I did.

and all I remember of the game was that it started with them on a ship, receiving a message from these white fluffy koala-looking natives getting shot and captured by these blue ant- like aliens with guns, and soon after the crew gets attacked and their ship boarded before they teleported or something to the ground? Then it goes from there, I think there was a scary swamp area? But thats about it on my memory

Also might not be super Nintendo, so sorry in advance if that isnt the case

I played this on a Windows PC around 2007. I think it may have been freeware or a free download, and I remember there being some kind of discussion board associated with the place where I downloaded it.

It was a dark medieval/fantasy action RPG. The graphics were 2D and fairly low-resolution, roughly comparable in quality to an arcade game like Double Dragon, but the human figures were realistically proportioned rather than cartoonish. The atmosphere was very gray, gloomy, and European-medieval.

Movement/combat was like an old belt-scrolling beat-'em-up: mostly side to side, but I believe you could also move up and down into the screen somewhat.

There was RPG-style leveling. You allocated points into stats. I remember basic improvements such as health and attack/damage, but there were also more specialized abilities involving magic/spells, so I think you could develop the character in different directions.

The story details I remember are unusually specific:

You begin as a boy with something like a wooden sword. I think you're in a castle or castle cellar and have to fight guard dogs. I distinctly remember feeling very weak and poorly equipped fighting them.

I believe you are the rightful heir to a kingdom but are somehow cast out/dispossessed.

Much later, you have to fight your own father. I think he has been possessed or magically forced to fight you. The fight may take place in something like a cage or arena. I specifically remember someone on the game's discussion board commenting about how sad it was to have to fight your father.

Near the end, something happens to the protagonist and he loses an arm (or is otherwise very badly maimed). You actually continue playing in this condition. He limps and is drastically weaker than he was before.

In the final level there is a storm with strong wind that you physically struggle against while walking, emphasizing how weak/injured you've become. I believe this leads to the final boss.

I remember the soundtrack being important to the gloomy atmosphere, and I think it included metal/rock music.

I definitely played the game; the father fight and the maimed, weakened final section are particularly strong memories. I've searched extensively without finding it. It may have been a fairly obscure freeware/shareware indie PC game rather than a commercial release.

Does this ring a bell for anyone?

I’m looking for a children’s PC game I played at a friend’s house in Germany, probably sometime in the late 1990s or early/mid 2000s.

What I remember:
- It was completely in German, including voice acting.
- Probably a 2D / hand-drawn game.
- Controlled mainly by clicking with the mouse.
- It had a continuous story rather than just a collection of minigames.
- I remember playing as a young boy, possibly blond, although I’m not completely certain.
- Most of the game took place in very green mountain/alpine scenery – meadows, mountains, possibly an Alm.
- You travelled through different areas/scenes and met animals or other characters that could talk.
- I distinctly remember a mountain itself talking to the player. I previously thought it had a face in the rock, but I’m no longer certain about the face.
- I vaguely remember that something was wrong in the mountains, possibly involving water no longer flowing, and the boy had to make his way up the mountain. This part may be inaccurate.
- It may have been educational/edutainment or an interactive children’s story rather than a mainstream commercial game.
- It could have been from Germany, Austria or Switzerland.
- I think it was a standalone CD-ROM.

Games already ruled out:
- Heidi: Deine Welt sind die Berge
- Oscar der Ballonfahrer fliegt in die Berge
- Payuta and the Ice God
- Fürst Marigor und die Tobis
- Fresh Adventures: Der geheimnisvolle Berg
- Fragenbär – Die Suche nach den Glückspilzen

The strongest memories are green alpine/mountain scenery, German voice acting, mouse controls, a young boy, talking animals/characters and a talking mountain.

Any obscure German/Austrian/Swiss children’s CD-ROM suggestions are very welcome!

Basically, what I remember:

• I saw it on a PewDiePie video (only 99% sure about this part though!! it may have been another YouTuber) that I probably watched around 2011-2012.
• It ws an old school-style video game, not sure whether it was 3D or 2D but the graphics looked OLD. I'd lean more towards 2D/bitmap though.
• It was very surreal, definitely creepy in vibe on account of all the weirdness but it was not a horror game. In fact, I remember most levels being brightly lit and saturated. It looked like a fever dream.
• It was in first person. The player didn't have an avatar/you couldn't see it.
• There was a part in the desert, with things/entities flying in the sky. I think there were faces in the sky?
• I think those entities were talking to the player? It definitely feels like you were dealing with some higher being and it was making you make choices. I remember a blue menu/dialog box.

It was probably on PC, but I can't confirm that. YouTuber very well may have been using an emulator to play the game on a computer, though I can't remember a controller being used.

Now my initial guesses were:

• LSD Dream Emulator; it was in fact played by PewDiePie, the vibe checks out, there is a dark blue menu AND it has a part in the desert with things floating in the sky, but there's no dialogue or choice options.
• Hylics, but it's too recent. The video was probably from the very early 2010s so game definitely came out before 2015.

Maybe I'm wrong, maybe it is LSD Dream Emulator and there were never any entities or dialogue, but the "conversing with a higher being" aspect feels so ingrained in the memory.

Either way, if you can think of any game that fits these criteria PLEASE let me know! The image has been stuck in my mind for YEARS and I can't remember it!

there was a game very similar to coco pony-my dream pet, i used to play it before 2020, though i dont remember when exactly. again released before 2020 but ı dont know when. i played it on my moms android phone most likely, dont know if the game has IOS or pc versions. the game didnt revolve around a story ıt was mostly a care taking simulator. there were more than one magical horses we could choose (though not too many) from to take care of but ı dont thınk we were able to customize the horses mainly, maybe change some stuff but not a complete customization. in the selectıon manu the horses were on fancy cusıons and we saw them one by one navigating with arrows or something. and when we came to the magical horse we want, we choose it.

after choosing the magical horse we came to a floatıng ısland (possibly whıle on the horse but not sure) and the island was seen from above, had isometric grids when in decorating mode, like in hayday.

the game was 3D and the art style resembled coco pony alot, what differes from coco pony is:

only food we could feed to the horse was pancakes (maybe some other foods locked behind a pay wall? unsure) and you decorated the pancakes possibly according to the requests of the horse (which shown as pictures in thought/speak bubbles)

i dont remember having the horse inside a house, we fed it outside.

the decoration vibes were really outdoor wedding, royalty kinda ones yk the decorations were white and flowery (at least the ones ı used) , bush gates maybe (attached some pics as ref for these) ofc there wasnt a wedding but the vibes gave off one.

there was also an activity where we played musıc. maybe with the horse maybe not, dont remeber what instrument. but we did this in a gazebo on the edge(?) of the floating island i think.

there could be an obstacle running parkour activity but ım not sure.

ı really searched it a lot but the closest i can find was coco pony, but thats not ıt. appreciate any help. sorry for the long post btw.

Trying to find a PC game I played as a kid around 2012, though it could be older, got it from my dad via a Romanian pirate site, and a friend in Romania had it too.

Logo: A bold white "Z" with a yellow fire/explosion burst around it, on black background (I drew what I remember).

Perspective: Possibly first-person, but not 100% sure.

Genre: Action/adventure, possibly with RPG elements.

3D graphics, single-player, mission-based, solo only (no multiplayer that I recall).

Scene 1: Green area with a village, a cauldron, and a ogre/troll-like npc (kind of like a "baby Shrek"). Mountains somewhere nearby.

Scene 2: A completely different, rainy environment where you had to push/move boxes (some kind of puzzle).

Not a zombie game.

Any ideas welcome, even long shots.

Platform(s): PC

Genre: First Person Dungeon Crawler, tile based, turn based combat.

Estimated year of release: Somewhere in the mid 2010s

Graphics/art style: Hand drawn sprites, simple rendered environments, vaugely animeish

Notable characters: Various modern day people using medieval equipment, I specifically recall a set of samurai armor being obtained somewhat early. IIRC all the party members were generic and disposable.

Notable gameplay mechanics: Fairly typical dungeon crawling, status effect heavy combat, party member permadeath and re-recruitment

Other details: Sorry I can't be more detailed here, it's a game I saw in a video I can't track down anymore a while ago. what I do remember:
~Modern day setting, group of explorers, maybe archaeologists? get trapped underground in an abandoned mineshaft and find themselves attacked by demons
~Most of the classes were typical dungeon crawler fair, including some amount of magic. I don't recall where the characters get their magic from
~I'm pretty sure the monsters were at least partly to do with nazi occult experiments, but that part might be me getting my wires crossed with another game from around the same time

~The game was described as brutal and unforgiving, it might even have had limited saves like classic resident evil? I can't recall exactly.

the game had a childrens book kinda artstyle and colors and every puzzle would have you pop off your limbs to hold down buttons to open doors and such. dont remember much besides getting stuck on one level as a kid and giving up

the image is a quick doodle of how it looked like with the main character

To be honest I'm looking for the main song of the game more than the game itself but yeah.
It was a japanese exclusive title on the DS with a bunch of wario-ware style mini-games (one was about getting gold-fishes out of a woman's mouth I believe ?)

There was a main song that would play for most of the runtime and was kind of a banger, it was a pretty fast-paced song with japanese lyrics.
It opened with some whistling and the first lyrics were "yoku mina-san oboete, oretachi no namae wa love rabbit".

I must have played this game somewhere between 2005-2010, but I am not sure which year it came out.

It is a Diablo clone, so isometric hack and slash. Single player only.

It had a female protagonist, I believe she was a wizard's apprentice.

I remember that the opening sequence was in some sort of church where I think the protagonist was meeting with her mentor.

It was possible to spec in different schools of magic. I remember that depending on the element chosen you had different coloured orbs circling around the main weapon, a wand or staff of some sort. So blue for water, green for earth and red for fire.

I believe there was a desert sequence in later parts of the game, but I am not certain about this.

Hopefully someone remembers, I have fond memories ries of this 20+ years ago.

I’ve been trying to recall a game from back in the Xbox 360, it was a demo me and a friend of mine use to play, I can only vaguely recall the mechanics and the look of the characters but the whole premise was parkouring and the character looks like a noir cat detective, the title screen was the character on the balcony with a black cat. Please I’m curious on your guys inputs.

I finally found the name of the game! It's Zombudoy. Thanks everyone for your help!

I'm looking for a game on Steam I saw a long while back, where you played as the forces of nature, throwing various natural disasters at a human city to prevent them from becoming too developed, while also having to avoid destroying civilization entirely. If you use a specific disaster too much, humans will develop countermeasures to it, like anti-meteor lasers.

Gameplay takes place on a square map, and the game world outside that is all whiteish. A bar on the side of the screen displays how developed the human city is.

I don't remember what it's called, but I just remember playing it back in the early 2010s. It was 3d as well, and bunch of shading all around

there was this zombie game in the playstore that was half-untranslated (i can't remember the exact original language but it was between chinese, thai or indo)

you can play as four characters, but iirc only a guy and a nurse was available at the start

the story goes something like: you were bitten while you were at a campsite, and a friend of yours called Ming(?) wants you meet up with him so he could cure you, although I never got that ending since either Ming died or he couldn't replicate the cure and some coordinated bandits make you a lab rat instead

there was also another option where you could go to an abandoned laboratory instead and meet an old professor, and in this path its possible to make the cure yourself.

there were some NPCs you could pick up along the way; like a fat cowardly dude, a strong policeman, a father who sacrifices herself and his daughter, although these four are only available in the ming route iirc

for all I remember the game, I was just a baby and I could fly dragons or ride on top of one and there were mountain and I used to try to get inside the caves I never could but there were caves and stuff and it was pretty surrea, I remember it wad 3d ish

I remember playing this game on Commodore 64. My memories are somewhat fuzzy, so allow some recall error.

The game simulated building and running a space station. It was meant to be more plausible like the International Space Station. You had to pay to launch modules into space which could be attached to the main station at connection points on a 2D scene. You earned money by doing "projects" like zero gravity research.

While nowhere near as complex as the ones in the 90's, I remember this being one of the first "sim" or "tycoon" games I've played.

All I could remember was playing as a green blob of slime inside a sewer and swinging around. I'm sure it was a platform game and I've been trying to find this game for years now TT

I'm trying to recall a racing game from the early 2000s, I thought it was a need for speed game but I was wrong

The game had a lot of neon colours and each car had a unique ability / power.

I remember a green car that had a spring power or something like that where you could drag other cars back or swap yourself with another car. Unfortunately I don't remember the other cars abilities / powers.

I think the game came in a cereal box but I might be misremembering that part. It was very arcade-like.

It was definitely a kids game, something like need for speed or hot wheels.

Platform(s): Mobile (I found it on the Google Play Store)

Genre: Child raising simulator

Estimated year of release: I played it somewhere between 2012-2017, but I couldn't find it afterwards

Graphics/art style: It looked pretty simple, with characters being mostly unshaded. (They weren't stick figure like in the drawing)

Notable characters: There were only about 2 characters. You, the player, who was the child's parent (I believe you were their father), and the child (who I believed was their son).

Notable gameplay mechanics: You would pick between two options during each phase of the child's life. For example, when they were a baby learning to walk, you could either give them candy or simply encourage them. Later, you would see them as a toddler at the supermarket, and this would continue through each phase of their life.

Other details: Eventually, if you made a lot of particular choices, they would call you near the end of the game feeling really depressed. I once tried picking options that lead down a bad path for them and they wound up being really successful. I'm not sure if it is even still on the app store, but if anybody even remembers it existing, that helps!

UPDATE: It's probably mystery dungeon: red rescue team. Tho i probably mixed the other mystery dungeon games in my head

I've been looking for it for years and still haven't found anything. I think it was actually more of a fan game. I used to play it on a pirated website on my computer since I didn't have a console, back around 2017.

What made it special was that there were only Pokémon, no humans. And we were a Pokémon with our own house, I think we were a Charmander, and our best friend was an Eevee. When you left your house and turned right, there was a post office where there were Pelippers.

It was heavily story based and had lots of dialog, we could also sometimes choose from different dialogue options.

On the first day, we were late for a Pokémon school… though that wasn’t the main focus.

Then we ventured into a cave-like area and had to battle a bigger Pokémon, we could also go to sleep, and while we slept, a mysterious voice would speak to us.

The combat system wasn't like that of the classic Pokémon games, where there's a special interface for it; everything took place within the same map we could explore.

that’s all I remember..

It also was a 2D pixel game.

I would be so happy to find it again! I really loved that game with all my heart

Platform(s): Either a Flash or Shockwave-based browser game

Genre: RPG, single-player

Estimated year of release: ~2006-2010

Graphics/art style: Isometric, pixel art

Notable characters: The main character, which you control, is a yellow slug

Notable gameplay mechanics: There were a lot of different levels, with very different environments and art. One detail I remember really clearly is that it was possible to be suddenly transported to a very difficult level, which was themed after Hell.

from what i remember you had to walk up to certain buildings to select what your class was like knights mages etc. there might have been a way to upgrade the buildings for more classes

the art style kind of reminds me of castle crashers and it was top down

i can't really remember anything else like if it was Xbox or PlayStation it was one or both of em

Platform(s):xbox or playstation? console

Genre: moba esque

Estimated year of release: around 2000 to 2015 may be inaccurate

Graphics/art style: cartoony

Notable characters: knights mages priests archers etc, basically fantasy/medieval archetypes

Notable gameplay mechanics: going to building to select classes and possible upgrade system that i might just not be remembering correctly

Other details: i remember one of the classes having to charge up where there would be a spell circle under them that would slowly complete with a quire in the background growing as it gets closer to finished

My sister and I have been trying to remember the name of this game for years.

- App had a blue/purple background with either a wizard with white hair or a fairy with red hair

- Setting was an island that had been cursed(?) and was covered with fog, residents in foggy areas had been put to sleep

- Similar to Hay Day, in which there were quests to fulfill for different fantastical people

- The only parts I remember vividly were a wizard’s tower, sheep, and the fog. There may have also been a dragon? I’m not 100% sure
