No objective... but close enough (i hope)

That's it! I guess I sorely misremembered the video but that's the exact video I had seen. Thanks a lot (awesome pfp btw).

There's this edutainment game that I think is for the BBC micro which I remember playing in first school a lot, but for the life of me I've been entirely unable to find out which game it was.

It was something of an adventure game for kids where you had to solve a bunch of logic puzzles and quizzes, etc, but there are a few key moments I remember:

• Early on you arrive on an island and there's some sort of puzzle where you have to fix a drinks machine.
• There's a scene where you have to solve a puzzle while a robot slowly cuts the door open.
• There's a chicken-race scene where you have to answer quiz questions, and each time you get one wrong, your chicken gets another foot blister...(weird)

Graphics are standard fair for the BBC micro. The only reason I believe it to be from the micro is that I Found another game I used to play at school where you had to give commands to this little red ball guy and he'd do different stuff depending on what you type in, and that game was also on the micro.

If anyone had any idea wtf I'm talking about, please let me know, would love to try it again and realize my childhood was a waste of time.

there was this dsi game i used to play when i was a kid. it was a fashion game where you would pick out clothes for customers. i thought it was style savvy, but i'm almost certain it was less anime. for some reason, i remember the style of one specific brand logo in the game. i recreated it as best i can for reference.

It could have been the Fashion Designer games, High Fashion or Style Icon. It could have been Girls' Life: Fashion Addict. It could have been Imagine Fashion Designer: World Tour

To be honest it could've been a ton of games. These are all the "career simulation" DS games on GameFAQs:

DS Cheats, Reviews, FAQs, Message Boards, and More - GameFAQs

For the DS, GameFAQs has game information and a community message board for game discussion.

On reddit /r/tipofmyjoystick i regularly use gamefaqs genre lists.... but for something like this, there's so many similar games, and most of them aren't particularly great

Is it Suikoden 1? It's single disc though but the only game that comes to my mind for the 3 cups minigame and everything else.

Suikoden 1 was single disc, but came in a double jewel case because the booklet was about 60 pages. Same with Tales of Destiny and Brigandine. A lot of old RPGs and strategy games from Japan were like that.

Not quite looking for a game, but I have a silly story about a game (or two) that eluded me for years.

I used to watch my older brother play practically all of the PC RPGs and strategy games of the late 90's, but there was one that stuck out in my memory. The cover art had your typical hooded wizard/sorcerer type guy with no visible face, and the gameplay fascinated me because you had what I remembered to be an isometric overworld in the style of Heroes of Might & Magic, but combat encounters suddenly turned the game into a Warcraft 1&2 style top down RTS.

Cut to a couple decades later, and I couldn't tell you what that game was to save my life.

Until one day, while looking for something unrelated, I found the cover art from my memories:

Mystery solved! Except... Betrayal at Antara is a pretty typical RPG, not any kind of strategy-RTS hybrid thing.

But then I came back around to a game I initially crossed off the suspect list, due to a lack of wizards on the cover: Lords of the Realm II.

And well, long story short, my brother used to keep a copy of Lords of the Realm II in the box for Betrayal at Antara. Thank you brother for decades of confusion.

There was a beat em' up I used to play in an arcade cab that I can't recall the title that that only things I remember about it was the character I always choose had an overall costume with red and white colors with his black hair sticking out on top and there's a boss that's a small old dude with a black cape wielding a gun. that's all I remember about it,

 

[Amag0k1]

There is a game in my mind which i have been thinking about a lot, and i cannot remember it's name, nor get it out of my mind.

I think it was from around 2009 - 2017, which presented like silent hill, but it was 2d pixel art.

From what i remember, he wakes up one morning a foggy town during the night.

Thank you, now i just need to find someplace to buy it that is not ebay or steam... Is this game completely out of print?

What are you feelings on the game, was it any good?

 

[Glimbo]

Not sure what you mean by out of print since it's a digital indie game, but it's also on GOG if you prefer to buy it there.

And I never actually played the game. I just remember seeing it when I was browsing horror games on GOG.

Quickest thread in the West lmao

 

[Octopus]

I've played Lone Survivor, its a pretty good little indie game. It pulled off the psychological horror aspect really well, helped elevate the fairly simplistic gameplay.

Thank for the heads up, i will check out GOG.

Regarding out of print, i was referring to physical copies, but it looks like it was part of a limited run series, which is why it is available any more i guess.

I am proud to say I now remember all the games from my childhood, even the Mac ones. Maze Ball was the last name to elude me. I can now emulate my childhood.

Maybe Battle Circuit?

 

[Zerohour2k12]

I'm not sure man, I remember the overalls dude having black hair. how about the small old man boss that has a gun?

Edit: After a bit of looking up and a robot by the name of ChatGPT, I finally managed t pin it down.
It's a game called Zero Team by Seibu Kaihatsu. Thanks for taking the time to reply though...

 

[midnitecarnival]

The Driver, maybe?

There was another similar game in Chuck E Cheese during the 80's. Only lasted in the arcade room a week before they pulled it.

Until now I had suspected my memories of the game were a witness to a 'Glitch in the Matrix' where a highly advanced game had been introduced into our reality on accident.

Now, seeing this, I realize that there were more Context-Reaction Disc games aside from just Space Ace, Badlands and Dragon's Lair.

I'm not sure, because I'm not super familiar with the micro, but this site has screenshots and maybe that'll help you recall? https://www.bbcmicro.co.uk/index.php?search=Adventure&on_G=on

I have been searching for a game for windows 3.1 that's top down and you control a knight with a skull for a head and you attack by swinging your sword from left to right and vice-versa using I believe Z and X keys also each level was contained in a single screen, any help would be appreciated

Sounds like a Gameboy Color port of MediEvil but I don't believe there was one.

I believe it may be Mortuum (1995)

 

[Milop]

it was a NDS game about some guys fighting each other for a girl in a city-street atmosphere kinda like jet set radio,the only gameplay moment what do I remember was painting a graffiti with the touchpad

 

[TNRKAMUI]

The World Ends with You?

 

[Swabbleflange]

Is it The World Ends With You?

 

[OPT1MUS]

Hmm, a little vague...
Like TNRKAMUI and Swabbleflange said, it could be The World Ends With You.
Anyway, here's a video-list of fighting/action games: it could also be Futari Wa PreCure or Katekyoo...
