So I'm looking for a PSX game split screen multi-player, the gameplay was basically capture the flag and you had assorted Military vehicles. I remember a tank and a jeep.

Anyway, thanks a lot for the help guys. Wish you all the best.

Does anyone remember how much of a pain Elemental Master was on the Sega genesis?

Okay so this one is going to be a bit of an oddball.

It was a PC game I played in the mid 00s that probably came from a shareware disc that I still cannot find to this day.

I know the game was in 3D, 3rd person and you were basically going around places hitting weird creatures with a frying pan. It had different levels, a cliff one, one with larges plains aaaand... that's pretty much it. Yup.

There was also an oooold suite of games that were basically a "3d" 1st person recreation of old games like pacman, it had a maze and the game where you have to color the most boxes.
I put 3d in quotations marks because it basically was in a 3d-like environment and I remember the pacman ghosts being huge flat panels with a face on it.
(cue the artistry)

Yep that's all I can remember since it was more or less 20 years ago and the games were most probably in English and I couldn't read that language at that time since it's not my mother tongue hahaha

This is about an oddity, not from my deep past, but about an ad I saw months ago while having tv on in a motel, it might have been on youtube. It was a trailer for I believe Unreal Engine 5 game that had "Unreal" in the title, but obviously having nothing to do with the old series.

The thing about this is that it was a multiverse kind of game, I believe mostly FPS, there might have been some crossover stuff or something. But it was not Fortnite either although obviously not far from that stuff. I found it ridiculous but I can't find any information about it. I forgot what the second word in the title was, but the theme was really multiverse like stuff.

It was certainly not something like WB Multiversus, that often pops up when I try to search for it but its completely different kind of game.

So what was it is the question. Or was this quietly cancelled/died out? Still there should be some info about it.

I looked at multiple lists of unreal 5 games and didn't see a game under that title, but it could've changed names along the way?

Yea that's the thing but the trailer made it a big deal. It was like multiple worlds/multiverses kind of world. Like almost trying to beat fortnite but being "fresher" in a way. There might have been some promotional things in it maybe even something with amazon, I have no idea really. I just can't remember the name but it clearly happened, at the time there was an interference that broke the laptop's battery until we could fix it and there was nowhere I could look stuff up on the internet so that is why it didn't stuck in my memory what the full name was.

So it could be another game altogether now after they changed the name or maybe it was discontinued, how can I know? That is why I am asking here if anyone saw those ads and trailer. Because I certainly did and nearly half a year later its like it disappeared or something.

I might’ve asked this here before, can’t remember for sure.

As a kid I played a game at my friend’s dad’s computer.
It was a 3D game in first-person where you were like an anthropomorphic female bee, flying around in a house. I don’t remember what the goal of the game was, we just flew around in what I assume was free-roam. I don’t remember if it even had music.

I do remember there being a model train following a track, and we used to place the character on the tracks to see what would happen if it collided. The camera just went crazy for a bit.
I also remember flying into ventilation hatches.

This is like the single game I haven’t managed to track down from childhood, so like once every two years I remember and it drives me nuts!!

Taking a stab at this, I found this reddit post but I'm unfamiliar with these languages... is it this:

OH
MY
GOD

YOU FOUND IT

I knew I wasn’t crazy holy shit, thank you!!
Apparently it only exists in like Russia and Nordic versions or something? Oh my god.

You have no idea how thankful I am for this lmfao, and it took so fast, I’ve been wracking my brain trying to search for it over the years to no avail, guess my google fu is getting rusty

EDIT:
Apprently there are a bunch of near-identical bee themed first person flying games, but this helped nudge me in the right direction, and I found the exact game I was thinking of, the train is even there and everything.
Here's some swedish let's play thing where they try it out:

one night, when I was spending some time over at my grandparents' house as a young kid, I was pretty sleepy and ready to go to bed when I caught my grandpa playing some sports game on their super nintendo that I didn't even know that they had. I didn't see any actual gameplay but what stuck out to me was the game's intro, it was very cool and flashy and had a static tv type effect at one part, I feel like I saw a big football helmet at some point but I can't say for sure, I just know it was a sports game.
i found 2 games that somewhat match this description, but neither of them really give me that "aha!" feeling:

what do you guys think?

I asked about this long time ago on Reddit in a desperate attempt to remember a specific old arcade I saw when I was a kid in a arcade beach kiosk (which, I swear, I remember looking like basically a cave. It was a magical experience).

I clearly remember a bunch of coin-ops, one was Wonder Boy. And then this. This goddamn game I will never remember or know the name. Or I vaguely remember was:

• 16-bit one?
• some kid of my age managed to beat it. The rotagonist rescues a princess while flying on a carpet and getting cheered by the kingdom's people that all gathered, side-scrolled while moving from left to right (if that helps?? I'm sorry, I know it's very vague lol)
• definitely a game made before 2003 since that's the year I probably saw it. Or 2002.
• no, I'm sure it's not that Capcom beat'em up arabian themed

 

[SoThankful]

• no, I'm sure it's not that Capcom beat'em up arabian themed

I’m not sure whether you meant both Arabian and Three Wonders, or if you might be mixing them together. Are you certain it was not the moment in this video? Also, how sure are you that it was a carpet? Our memories can fail us more often than we realize. That has definitely happened to me when trying to remember certain games.

 

[RestoredaftrLostv2]

I know a few snes games that used that static effect, but they weren't sport games....example is earthbound aka mother 2. Also don't rely on nostalgic for remembering things. Most times our brains alter our memories to be something they are really not. -_- I know this from experience, and the fact I watch the same shows multiple times cause I forgot I watch them, really questions my mental health, but It's ok, least I got to enjoy them again...and maybe again in the future :P

this is true, i am willing to accept that some of this might have been fabricated by my sleepy 9 year old brain

I remember in the mid to late 90s there was a game on the Apple Macintosh computers in my school the involved flying space ships and shooting other ships. It was a top down perspective and 2D sprites were used for the ships. You could fly North, South, East and West. Unfortunately I cannot for the life of me remember anything else, including the name of the game. But if anyone happens to have an idea please share so I can look it up and verify if thats the one. Thank you!
