Can't remember the name of that game from your past?

[Yuniheim]

Do you guys know that iconic titanic quote: "Now it only exists in my memory", this is me right now.

The story is: around 10 years ago I would search across the internet for some random games, often spaceship ones from the 2010 era.
To name a few that I have played: Galaxy Strike, Monster Galatic, Deadly Stars, Incinerate, Lethal Judgment...
then one day I came across a pretty different spaceship game, which happens to be the one I'm looking for.

I can't remember the name of the game but only specific details:
it was a 3D game focused on exploration, you controlled a black spaceship and you could explore a planet flying around on your ship, though there was only a jungle as far as I could see.
On the ship, you could fly up to the space but there was a limit, you could fly in the direction to the sun until your ship explodes once you passed a certain distance (that was the limit). When exploring, you could also unboard the ship and explore on foot.

That pretty much sums it, keep in mind that I was a kid back then, that's why the details are a bit sparse. I may be able to say for sure if it was that game if I see a gameplay video of it or if I manage to get my hands on it. Thanks in advance.

And to all brazillians on duty, I downloaded that game on the old popular brazillian website called "baixaki" if you are brazillian you probably know about it.
Those were the good days, the site has decayed a lot since then.

I don't know but maybe "Freelancer" is what you are looking for? Good luck, mate

 

[RageBurner]

Hm... you remember a lot of specific details. Was it really 3D or top down?

 

[OldGamer95]

Should have read a little more. Didn't see that you were basically stuck on a planet with a jungle. It shouldn't be Freelancer in that case...

It was 3D. I'm sure.

I had a look at that game, it wasn't it but it's quite similar.

 

[RageBurner]

So let me see if I understood correctly. You can never leave the jungle planet's orbit?

Yes. All the exploration was only on that planet.
it's funny, when I put it like that the title "spaceship" looks a bit misleading
you have a spaceship but you can't go to space

 

[RageBurner]

Yes.

Do you remember if it was something fan made, a demo, or something else?

Unfortunately no.

 

[RageBurner]

Unfortunately no.

Do you remember how the character was dressed?

 

[Yuniheim]

Do you remember how the character was dressed?

Now there is something you reminded me of, when you got out of the ship, the ground exploration was first-person, so you couldn't see the clothes (that is, if memory serves me right).

But on ship, the exploration on the sky was always third-person, you could see the whole ship.

 

[RageBurner]

So on the ground it was first person, but while flying the ship you could only see the back of it, the thrusters, wings and such?

Pretty much, but I remember being able to see the whole ship. Perhaps I could move the camera with my mouse or something.
...you know, I was searching for black aircrafts and I came across one that I feel like if it's not the one of the game, it's very similar to it, the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird.
if that happens to be the case, then maybe it was not a 'spaceship' game after all

I hate Titanic. It doesn't have anything to do with the topic at hand, I know. It just any reference to Titanic triggers me.

The Blackbird has a pretty unique silhouette. Not a lot of games where I can recall it being flyable. Ace Combat 3 was one, but that's beside the point I guess.

@Yuniheim Did you already found your game? If not, can I suggest MobyGames as a place to look for it? It's search engine can filter games by system, year, gameplay, multiple genres, it has a lot of options.

I haven't found it yet but I'll have a look at this site, thanks.

I'm trying to remember the name of a really bad PS1 driving game. It could have been PS2 but I'm pretty sure it was PS1. The car design was very cartoony and it was really hard to stay on the track. The control was awful. It was so bad me and my brother played it to make fun of it.

It's not Choro Q. I don't think any of the PS1 games in that series were released in the west.

I also want to add that I think the tracks were elevated or floating and you could fall right off into the abyss. I'm pretty sure at least.

 

[smurfbert]

I have not really played it myself but maybe Motor Toon Grand Prix for the PS1 :)

When I was in grade school, I played a game on an old Mac (80s era Mac, that is). It had a bear as the player character. I think it was either an isometric game or a side-scroller with vertical parts. It was likely an edutainment game, as I played it on a school computer.

So I posted this on reddit but to no help, so I'm posting here in hope of more people getting to see this and possible help me find the game that I played all that time ago.

[Java][2008-09] Afterburner like game with Gundam/Transformer like mech character.

I played this game on a Samsung T9 Keypad Dumbphone that could run Java applications around 2008-09.

I've tried to make the most i could in the image about the game, notable thing was the game plays like Afterburner for the first couple of minutes you have to follow a way point in a specific direction then when you reach it withing the time/fuel limit the player's charecters transforms in to a Gundam like mech in a Transformers like animation and a bigger enemy (don't remember if it's a Alien or a Space ship or both) appears and you engage in a boss battle. Sort of like another Afterburner like arcade game that had a dude flying on a jetpack.

Someone said that it might be from the Macross franchise which I highly think it is.

It maybe from this franchise but there's so much media of it that finding that particular game makes it very hard.

Looking that up I found this : The Super Dimension Fortress Macross NTT Docomo 504i /504iS [Japanese] compatible i-mode mobile telephone game 3D-perspective shooting game i Game Daisuki! series One player Features VF-1J Valkyrie (Ichijyo type), transformable into 3 modes Bothtec Mobile 2003 April 7 Y300 per month

On Macross Anime Software list
which I found from looking at the "2000's" section on the Wikipedia page.

This is the only thing that jumps to me that it might tbe the game. But unfortunately I can't find anything about it.

Also seems like someone was looking for this game in 2006, where they found the info from that exact jp site I mentioned in the other reply.

MacrossWorld Forums

Another user replies:

You're flying through a square tunnel with a behind-the-VF camera. And it's a classic 8-bit tunnel, with depth defined by stripes of alternating colors instead of actual textures.

I believe this could be it, but still I can't find anything about it, not even a single image.
