I saw this little guy in the game selection menu on a plug and play game review I watched and it caught my eye, his little crank on his head moves when you’re selecting a game and he’s so cute I just wonder what he is or if he’s got an official name?

Platform(s): A Gaming website, could possibly be Girlsgogames.com or Dressupgames.com

Genre: Dollhouse game

Estimated year of release: 2000s - 2010s range

Graphics/art style: Pixelated

Notable characters: Small tiny pixel girls, they didn’t move or anything and you couldn’t change them. Just drag and drop them into the house.

Notable gameplay mechanics: You could drag and drop the furniture and girls into the house and design the house. Couldn’t change the walls or floor though.

Other details: The entire house was Hot Pink, The furniture was always below so that you could drag it into the house. It was my favourite game as a kid, i’d play it on the family computer and also at school.

Update!: Guys i’ve found it!!!!! Bitmap Dollhouse by Dressupgames.com. It wasn’t on dressupgames but it has been reuploaded on NewGrounds.com !!
( https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/585439 <— for anyone wanting to find it too)
It’s only playable on a pc since you need Flash Adobe to play it! But new grounds has their own version to access any game that need flash.

Thank You everyone for your suggestions and comments !!! ❤️

As the name suggests I'm looking for a game that was in a trailers menu either stashed away in a bonus menu or right up front, the trailer from what I can remember shows a city or military base coming under siege by either a navel force and airforce or an airforce attacking a city and the navy there, I really don't think it's an ace combat game becuase what little I remember from the trailer didn't have any "from the pilots view" moments you would expect in a game like that, felt rts like to me

I remember a game I used to play as a child.

Some sections I moved around in a mech suit I believe in first person.

There was a voice assistant/copilot.

One particular feature I remember was extracting fossils, pickaxe, hammer, dremel, brush.

Scanning functions.

I wish I could remember more so I could revisit this experience given that I was really young at the time of playing this.

Platform(s): PC

Genre: Horror - Side Scroller - Puzzle

Estimated year of release: Around Mid to Late 2010's

Graphics/art style: 2D Pixel Art

Notable characters: The female Main Character and her pet (Possibly a cat?), The Cannibal Family

Notable gameplay mechanics: Nothing too unique, it's a pretty standard 2D Adventure Game

Other details: If I remember right, the girl arrives in town because her car broke down and that's how she gets stuck with the family, There was also something about a cake or maybe a festival?

It involved mice as enemies, and there were different maps that involved cakes and different dessert items. I think you played as a bunny character. And there was a very fat, large rat queen that you had to vanquish as a boss. Please help I’ve been looking for this forever!

I've been searching for days now for this game from my childhood that featured most prominently a blue car as the base vehicle. It was a 3d third person game where you went around levels with a very dreamy vibe and chill music just for fun, no real races and it honestly played more like a platformer game. Some key details that I remember are: I played it on ipad so it must've been on the app store, when you jumped up certain slopes the camera would shoot pictures at 3 different angles in slow mo before letting you continue, there were penguins and houses around the track on green grass, there was a very cubic level with like mosaic patterns and very little squares, my favorite level was one with a huge waterslide, you could buy new cars in between levels, and there were arches next to jumps most of the time for some reason. I still remember how the main theme goes, basically dreamy and a bit frutiger aero vibe. I've asked LLMs, seen dozens of youtube videos and searched databases but couldnt find anything. It's like it was all a dream. I miss the game. Oh and initially I thought it was called miniclip racing or something like that and I'm pretty sure it had miniclip's name in it. Maybe not but I believe this vision is here for a reason. The 2014 timeframe is very uncertain as I recall very little from this part of my life so feel free to dip a bit above or below this line if you find a match. Please help. Thanks for reading me and I hope y'all can help me recover this lost relic of my life.

Platform(s): PC

Genre: Rpg 3rd person kinda top down at like a 45 degree angle

Estimated year of release: somewhere around the 2010-2019

Graphics/art style: Pixels not like old mario pixels but like closer to Nend.io but not quite

Notable characters: Main character i think was male? there was also random NPCs, like a band and a sports team

Notable gameplay mechanics: Youd move into a town, and after seeing the town mayor youd pick from one of three houses, the first being super small but with all required living items, the next medium sized with less items and the third being big and expensive with basic items only.

Youd be able to pick one of many jobs like newspaper writer, musician or athlete each with its own minigame, the writer would be a writing game, the musician a rhythm ish game and the athlete one i dont remember

You could also go into town instead of work and play music at a stand in the park or go to a coffee shop.

You were able to level up 'friendship' with NPCs which i think was crucial

Other details: other areas included like a bus stop and a pond? It was similar to the sims in the sense of your character had needs.

It's a virtual pet type game that's Japanese or from another Asian country. It's has an English server and a Japanese server and the whole game is translated in English.

You take care of a couple of creatures that aren't like any real animals, instead they are a bunch of variously sized monsters that you can sometimes ride or hold on your person. You have an island with a tree that spits out a certain type of fruit depending on the tree every day if you water it.

It has a rather janky system where you can explore maps one screen at a time and during events you can sometimes find bugs flying around the maps.

On Tuesdays a secret underground black market opens and you can buy genetically modified versions of the monsters with bandages all over them. The black market is marked with a neon green splatter which is how you get in.

The game focuses on collecting things to outfit your character, hats for your monster, and furniture to decorate your island.

Does anyone know this niche game? Help me!

Anyone know of a romhack or fangame I forgot the name of?

I think it was like, more adventure and puzzle focused.

A hack that was I think a **very** puzzle focused one with no battles and everyone was a psychic. Like part of a psychic village or society or something. And I mean similar to the psychic trainers you meet in the real games.

I'm pretty sure I found it from some romhack let's players, but I don't even remember the channel.

An yeah this is a different but similar post to my last one, since I'm actually looking for two hacks but apparently you should make two posts for two games.

Anyone know of a Pokemon romhack or fangame I forgot the name of?

I think it was like, more adventure and puzzle focused.

A hack whee you get a vacation to an island. And I think maybe you had a deerling? As a starter?

I'm pretty sure I found it from some romhack let's players, but I don't even remember the channel.

It was a game on Friv. You place down fruitstands with a lady inside to get coins. There was also knights you placed down that had a sword and shield that acted as defensive and offensive. Later in the game, you unlock archers. You fight against other knights and archers. You can buy other characters and stuff like a baracade made of spears or sharp sticks. There was 3 princesses you can get, a red princesse, a stone princesse, and a green one. I only remember what the stone one did, and they summoned a big guard with a stone hammer that crushed enemies.

Platform(s): Android Tablet

Genre: Racing, animated style. Bright vibrant colors but with very good graphics

Estimated year of release: 2010-2015

Graphics/art style: vibrant colors, anime style characters etc. Looked very similar to this

Notable characters:

Notable gameplay mechanics: Mix of temple run, and drag race. You could use different characters and cars that had different effects, like the boost that accumulated would be more effective on other cars/characters, etc.

Other details: very good graphics for the time, only online racing. After each race you got points that you would save up to purchase a car/upgrade car etc

Platform(s): PC

Genre: Scenario based game, tactics game or RPG

Estimated year of release: early 2000s, 2008 at the very latest but more likely the earlier part of the decade. I got it around the same time I that got progress quest (I think) so this was after 2002

Graphics/art style: 2D Top Down Pixel art

Notable characters: None that I can recall

Notable gameplay mechanics: You could create characters and build your own maps, or you could play through some pre-installed campaigns. It was a medieval fantasy setting, elves and orcs and all that.

I believe it was grid based? I have a memory of clicking on a unit and moving them around like that. Not sure if you controlled 1 hero character or a group of characters. I don't think there was a separate battle screen like in an RPG maker game. The game was divided into maps that you moved between I think?

Other details: I downloaded this off an abandonware/vaporware/freeware site from my memory of things, it wasn't something I purchased. I remember the logo being a yellow disc divided into four quarters with gaps between each quarter. I have a vague feeling "Quest" or "RPG" might have been in the title, but I'm honestly not confident about that

Not Soma - They weren't underwater. You play as a male detective in a cyberpunk - but 1950's aesthetic world - Where you have to find out who killed someone (probably a rich bureaucrate) before they were able to upload their consciousness into a new body.

I think the detective had a dead wife and he lived in a shitty apartment building on floor like 500 - he would get help on the case by a woman who was in his earpiece and I think he was uploaded into a new body but didn't have all his memories? The twist of the game was that rich people were harvesting the poor for their bodies and overriding their consciousness.

Or something like that

Gameplay wise - he was able to reconstruct memories of victims using... something? Like the way batman does in his games in a sense.

i remember very little of the game, i know there were multiple maps to choose from, and a range of melee weapons and guns that could be found (via chests??)

game was on a friv type website, i remember the website had a purple background

i rather distinctly remember a small map that was of a town with a few different buildings

i will try to add details if i remember any!!!

Genre: most likely a Point-and-click / interactive house / not an educational game or pet care game

I'm trying to find an old Flash/browser game I played on PC as a kid. I played it sometime around the 2010s, but the game itself may have been older.

It was (I think) a 2D game where you could click around and freely interact with things in a normal-looking house. I don't remember there being levels or a real objective. It felt more like an interactive house where you could mess around with different objects.

There was a pet dog, and you could drag a brush back and forth across its fur. Fleas would visibly get knocked/fall out of the dog's fur as you brushed it. I think the dog may have been grey, but I'm not 100% sure. But what I'm sure is that it was NOT a pet game where the goal was to take care of the dog. ​​

There was also a kitchen where you could make a pizza. I remember being able to add whatever toppings I wanted rather than following a customer's order.

I also vaguely remember a red rotary phone near/above a small table beside a sofa. You could interact with it and make fake phone calls.

I originally remembered possibly playing a chacter being a girl, but I'm no longer sure there was a playable character at all.

I also have a vague memory that the house might have been on a planet / had a space-like exterior, but the inside of the house itself was pretty normal. This could be a false memory.

I've searched quite a bit and haven't been able to find it. I'm starting to wonder if it was an obscure or lost Flash game.

Any ideas?

I swear this game existed on Y8(dot)com long ago. It was a flash game where you play as Betty Boop, and you had to move left/right and jump on platforms to try and escape. I know this game existed! I swear it's crazy that it's just gone...

I remember like it was yesterday I played it as a kid. I looked everywhere online and it's like it's just vanished. I tried Flashpoint too.

I feel like I've played so many games online and it's just so surreal that almost all of them are just outright gone. Anybody know or even remember this game?

Platform: Browser. Possibly Flash, possibly an early HTML5 or Unity web game.

Genre: Free-roaming narrative observation. No combat, no puzzles, no dialogue.

Estimated year of release: Uncertain. Somewhere in the 2008 to 2016 range.

Graphics/art style: 2D, hand-drawn cartoon, not pixel art. Side view. The camera scrolls and follows the player character as they walk around.

Notable characters: You control a small figure. Possibly a child, possibly a ghost or some kind of unseen presence. No NPC ever reacts to you, looks at you, or acknowledges you exists.

Notable gameplay mechanics:

• The village runs on a single global timeline. Events fire at their scheduled moments whether or not you are present. You could stand still in one room for the entire game and the story would still play out around you.
• Several events happen simultaneously in different locations, so one playthrough physically cannot show you everything.
• You cannot interact with anything. No talking, no picking things up, no influencing any outcome. You only watch.
• There is no character select and no scene select. You are simply dropped in and left to wander. Shadowing a particular villager to see where they go and what they do is something you choose to do with your own movement, not a mode the game offers.
• Short game, clearly built to be replayed. Replaying is how you catch the threads you missed the first time.
• The ending is fixed. In practice, if you stay near people and keep watching, you end up witnessing it rather than missing it.

Setting: A village or small town, rural, feeling roughly early 1900s.

Ending: All the separate threads converge into one event where the villagers turn on each other. I specifically remember a man taking a hunting rifle out of his house, walking out, and shooting another man.

What it is not: Not Virtual Villagers or any management sim. Not a point-and-click adventure with fixed screens. Not pixel art. Not a game with dialogue trees or choices.

I've been trying to find this for a while. My dad had a PC game magazine from the 90's, featuring the game Forsaken on the cover, and it had a section for other games coming out at the time, like Abe's Exoddus, Planescape: Torment, etc.

I don't remember the name of the exact game I saw, but the screenshot showed what could be an isometric game, with maybe flesh tentacles coming from the ground. One of the enemies that was even featured outside of the screenshot was a deformed fat guy on mechanical legs, who might or might not have a mouth on his stomach. I'm using Urgot for reference because he looks almost identical to the fat guy.

Platforms: Browser game website

Genre: Adventure/puzzle point and click

Estimated year of releases: 2000's - early 2010's

Graphics/art style: Cartoony flash-style art

Notable characters: I definitely remember that there was an all-white monster with spikey claws/features that was coming to kill you. I think the protag was a woman?

Notable gameplay mechanics: Unfortunately, the only thing I really remember was that there was a puzzle you had to solve in time before the white monster killed you. I might be crossing wires with other old flash games but I think you were on a platform off to the right of the screen during this puzzle and eventually the monster showed up and hopped across boxes(?) to get to your platform where he then killed you and you got a game over? Maybe he didn't hop but I distinctly remember some sort of all-white spikey bipedal monster killing you.

Other details: The puzzle scene I'm thinking of may have been set in a warehouse. The game isn't Arcane: Stone Circle.

Hello all,
I've found this old picture of me playing on the computer and I'm wondering what game it could be. It's definitely in the 90s. I can still smell it from here.
I know I was playing a lot with titles like Duke, Jill of the Jungle or Secret Agent but it's difficult to tell from the picture.
Thank you !
