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

[Judier]

Guys, I'm pretty good at sleuth work... I solved some music mysteries in 2021 and I helped people find stuff on forums like r/TOMT and others... I also solved my own personal mysteries after over a decade...
Last year or so I was active in the Flashpoint Discord, and we would help each other find games that we'd forgotten about...
I'll be going through the posts on this thread, maybe I can help someone here.

@Judier mentioned a spacecraft game, I thought that was an RPG (?) series that I found the other day, but apparently it isn't... glad they found the answer.

Where are you from? I know there were some unique handheld games from Russia, though I'm not an expert on the topic.

Would it be Psychic Force by any chance?

Yeah the game from my childhood is this one, i'll link it up for you

Play Spacecraft on Kongregate

In the far future, Earth is destroyed by decades of war for resources. The survivors build huge motherships and depart for a journey to the stars, yet the Hu...

Such a good game, I literally played through it in like 2 games, it's been a blast with the campaigns and so forth.

I need help finding this Sonic Flash game. I remember there being a bitter sweet anime like opening with some sort of music. It looks like the sun is rising or setting and Sonic is doing something (I can't really remember.) And when you start the game it acts kinda like a dungeon in the original legend of Zelda. Unfortunately that's about all I remember about it. Any help is appreciated.

Ain't that one of the Sonic RPG's? Like fr I think it was just named Sonic RPG

 

[GoodWall_533]

Hmm. Would it happen to be Final Fantasy Sonic X?

I don't think that is it but the opening seems similar, just not the game itself

I tried looking up many Sonic RPG's but I couldn't find it. I also don't think it was an RPG because if I remember correctly you couldn't change your character.

Hello all! I am searching for a games that seems easy to find but isn't so much:
First, the game is purely an Asteroid Clone from 1995 to 2002 so I must have played it on Windows 98 or windows 2000 I would say, I think I lost the game because It was maybe not compatible with Winxp/win7. you have a ship and destroy a lot asteroids via fire, I can't remember if there was special weapons or not. The thing I remember, it had amazing blowing visual effects and was very speedy like Jeff Minter would do like in Tempest 2000/4000. It was quite light in hd space, not more than 200MB. The music was really good, many blowing colors!!
I searched on youtube but despite watching around 200 clones, couldn't find it! It was fun to play!
It's not blasteroid, superstardust, asterax, not mutant storm (but alike).

I remembered once seeing and hearing about a really advanced nes game that was late in the console's life cycle and developed by ex-mega man developers. tried finding it again some time after and got no luck.

I have one that's bugged me for years. Way back from the 1980s before the NES, during the dark times after the video game crash, only places where I lived you'd see any games were arcade machines inside Chucky Cheese's. This one is one of those laser disk type games.
A sit down cabniet, live action FMV game where you drive. I think you play as a cop and you chase criminals, as I remember one red trans am, trying get away from me. Its live action video, not animated; its not Road Avenger.

I remember COPS had a sit-down cabinet with an FMV car chase, but that would have been the 90's.

Was it actually released? Might have had a mythology based name? Very detailed backgrounds? I'm so helpful.

Wait... Was it Little Samson?

Hum... this one is interesting. I used to love all the old Laserdisc/FMV games and kind of still do. Thought I played most of the ones released in the 80's but I cannot at all remember such a game. l assume we are talking around 1985?

My first thought when I read your description was Taito's Chase HQ, but of course that one is not FMV and released a bit later.

I do remember a Laserdisc futuristic bike game from I believe Williams, but not cars. Also there is a racing game from Sega (I believe) released on MSX Laserdisc. Then of course there are old VHS games and such.

Do you remember anything else about it?

I thought about it some more, pretty sure you are talking about Street Viper?

Wanted to say yes, but years wrong. Chased a trans am, red or perhaps maroon, (definitely not a viper) think car had the bird on hood. It was around the mid 80s, the NES wasn't out in the US yet. Adults would call games "stupid" after games were being wiped out, being "uncool." Would hear stuff like that while I sat down playing having time of my life, rather play this game than ski ball and other games Chucky Cheese had.

The Driver, maybe?

Holy SHIT! THAT'S IT! My quest at last ended.

Wow, excellent job. I never heard of that one. GuyZero32K4 has found his childhood game and I have a new FMV game I have somehow missed and will now try to find a way to play :P

[koutameoshifan27]

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.

 

[embiid]

This may be a little broad but here goes, it was for PS1, a JRPG that had multiple discs. I remember being able to name your own character, recruit a bunch of people and I specifically remember you could get money from this little minigame where it's the 3 cups and you have to find the cup with the chip in it after its randomized.

I played that game for days at a time when I was like 7 and now I can't remember what it is to save my life

 

[daro_glez]

I can't quite remember this game from the PS1 and N64 era. I think it was a 3d scroller in 3rd person and the main character was a child who could use toys to interact with the world. I don't remember if those toys were equipped ala Ape Escape or just laying around.

maybe this forum can help me in my lifelong lifehunt
i played a top down perspective, 2d game on my computer in the early 2000s in which you played as a little creature bouncing back and forth, and you would click on pipes on screen to bounce the little yellowish creature through a path to his goal
i recall that the pipes were blue and there were even boss fights
it could have been a proper pc game release, or a flash game for all i recall
i have looked for this game on and off for maybe a decade now

I watched a Youtube video recently with a name that was something like "this SNES RPG wants to mess with your mind".

It was Super Famicom RPG that was only recently translated which was non-fantasy, possibly urban setting, the person reviewing it said it was excellent and worth playing. Unfortunately I lost the video and the game title. I looked at some lists which weren't much help.

I can go through compilation vids to find it but wondered if anyone knows which game I am talking about.

 

[nobitakun]

With that information is very difficult to get the picture. How the game looked like? anime style? combat system? main character outlook? that information is easily seen even from a short video of a RPG game.

 

[UnDubious]

G.O.D. probably. There aren't a ton of SNES RPGs with a modern setting. If it's not a RPG but an adventure game, it's probably this:

Or it's Linda Cube on the PS1.
