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.

qx43fc8o3ape1.jpeg

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.

I'll try my best to find it.

Update 1:
The game (according to your description) looks to me like Transformers: The Dark Moon and Transformers: China with both Driving and Fighting Segments.
Is that it ?

Nope, those aren't Java games. I think I should've added that it's those very limited in scope games where the game plays like a 8bit NES game and looks like it's 16bit with very compressed sprites and graphics. It's a Java Mobile game after all, couldn't be more than 1-2MB in size. So game is most likely from 2002-2005, and I only go to play it in 2008-09.

I played it on a Samsung Dumbphone, which I unfortunately can't pin point the model of.
 
I have no idea, but if it's a fighter jet that transforms into a robot for the boss battle, and there are "big ships", it definitely sounds like a Macross / Robotech game.

Were the "big ships" green and kind of rock-like, maybe? I guess you've already compared that to Macross images...

Maybe, Archangel. There is a Youtube chanel called JAVA Mobile Games that has a video titled Arch Angel Samsung JAVA Game video shows something close to your drawing.

This Arch Angel definitely matching most of what the OP said!

Yoo, this is it! Thank you so much!
As soon as I read "Archangel" a light bulb went up in my head and reminded me. Thanks again.:D

Imma update reddit as well.
 
I also have two more games which I need to find, hope mods & admins won't mind If I post them in a separate thread? 😆

But first I need to draw about them, like I have done here. Hopefully in better quality and detail.

Also are spoiler tags not working? I added them twice but do not see them, both on mobile & desktop view.

Very well done, I don't have an award for this sort of thing so let's say you get a No-Prize!

Edit: @FR4M3 Yeah it's fine, although if they're also JAVA games the title for this one would still apply I think?

I don't think spoiler tags aren't working?
 
Another thing I like is that my memory really servedbme right even though I played that game when I was 8-9 and only played it like 3-4 times. Before dad took and sold off that phone. Or maybe it was from one of his friends' Idr.

But I just wanted to say I did draw quite accurately, just needed to flip the HUD both vertically and horizontallly. I drew it like that probably because I've been play Doom ever since 2010. 😂

I actually like the drawing NGL. It looks understandable.

Hey there,

I don’t think the mods & admins would mind, but yeah, a separate thread sounds like a good idea.

Did you manage to make those drawings? If so, maybe we can help you find the games.
 
Just a reminder on this thread.
I don't mean to be annoying, I'm just intrigued by this wait.
Sorry, just life keeping me busy by the choke hold, I'll try today if not then by tomorrow. :)

So as I was thinking about the second Java game that I played back in 2012-13, then as I was writing about it being FPS, point & click, pre-rendered graphics, the plot involving a orphan dude going back to his orphanage for some reason and finding strange stuff and having similar vibes to Silent Hill.

Then I thought couldn't it be a silent Hill Java game? And lo and behold it's exactly just that. 😆



According to Wikipedia Silent Hill is supposed to have three Java games but this site has about 6 (orphan being as mobile in EU or vice versa), so I downloaded all of them lol (be mindful of the adverts)

So I'll just move on to the third and final game that I need to look for, which is a Android 2D, side scroller, 3 lane runner game.

No worries, life does have a way of keeping us in a chokehold sometimes. Take your time!

That’s awesome that you found the second game! Must’ve been a great moment realizing it was a Silent Hill Java game all along. Pretty cool how those mobile versions flew under the radar for so long.

So I'll just move on to the third and final game that I need to look for, which is a Android 2D, side scroller, 3 lane runner game.
As for the third game, the first thing that comes to mind is Gravity Guy, though it doesn’t quite fit the "three-lane runner" part. Do you remember anything else about it? Like the art style—was it pixelated, more cartoony, or something else? Might help narrow it down a bit.
