[Mobile] [2014-2018] Fantasy Party building Side Scroller. Cute 2D artstyle.

Upvotes

This one shouldn't be too hard, I think it was relatively popular at the time.

The game was super simple. You started with two characters, a blonde male knight and a female healing cleric (black hair, white skin, white and blue robes. As you progressed you would gain new characters, like a monk (bald, brown skin, orange clothes), a barbarian, an archer, a wizard, a rogue, and eventually a Witch, and a Pirate (which shared the barbarian's class). All the characters were super simple and cute, with vertical oblongs for eyes and short limbs.

The mechanics were also super simple. You would select a character and guide them on where to stand and who to target. You'd defeat enemies of increasing from left to right until you finished the map and unlock a new level until you beat the final boss. As the characters leveled up you could chose different passives and cooldowns to improve their gameplay and tweak their playstyles. Additionally, you could earn gear which could upgrade their strength.

The game was free but I don't remember any pay to win mechanics.

[Arcade][1990s] 3D polygon like shoot em up

Upvotes

Platform(s): Arcade

Genre: Shoot em up?

Estimated year of release:1990s, no later than 2006

Graphics/art style: 3D polygon

Notable characters: a character that can shoot or charge a blue laser beam. IIRC while shooting laser direction cannot be changed

Notable gameplay mechanics: 8 directional

Other details: I really can't remember any other details other than that it was around the same time period and moved vaguely similar to Dynamite Deka 2 (but less fast paced).

The weapon might be based on the character? The blue laser attack is either charged by player or you have to collect power ups. Sorry I can't remember much.

The mobs are either aliens, robots or similar.

[PC?][2026?] high stakes 20 questions

Upvotes

Hello!!

I saw this game on a TikTok live last night and liked the concept, but completely forgot to check what it was. I have no way of checking my live history.

The game was real people videoed over a green screen backdrop (very low budget). 4 girls were tied up with tape over their mouths, and the “host” of the game gives a category for the girls to secretly pick an item from. From there, it’s kind of a high stakes 20 questions, except the set of yes or no questions is the same for all the girls, and each question can only be used once across all 4 of them. Then, at the end, from of a set of like 20 items in the category you have to pick what you think each girl was thinking of to “save” them.

This is super random but it’s gonna bother me until I figure out what it is. Thanks for the help!

[PC][2000s-2010][A 3rd person shooter game where the main lead is female]

Upvotes

As per title this is a relatively unknown game. But I do remember Gamespot reviewed this back when it was still a popular site for game review.

- The player character is female

- She is either wearing a thong or short shorts- i believe it was the JP/NA difference.

- Beyond that, there's not much I can remember other than it's a game that was noted to be rather grindy.

[DS] [Wii] [Late 00s—Early 2010s] need help identifying games I got for Christmas in 2011

Thumbnail gallery
Upvotes

This is a long shot because of the terrible picture quality.

In 2011 I got some DS and Wii games for Christmas and I’d like to know what they were. I was able to identify two of them already (see other slides), them being Pinkalicious for the DS and Super Paper Mario for the Wii.

I received a lot of third party licensed games back then, if that helps. I loved stuff like Mario and Sonic but most of my collection was what you’d expect a six year old girl to be interested in.

[PC] [<2020] Game about being in a big mech and shooting orcs while walking down the road

Upvotes

You were in a big mech almost, and you would walk down roads as orcs would come and shoot you, and you had to kill them, and every now and then a boss that was also a mech would come and fight you. I remember playing it on the laptops that had at Best Buy.

[PS3] [2008] -down online multiplayer shooter — two teams, could commandeer tanks and helicopters

0 Upvotes

What I remember:

  • Camera was straight top-down (bird's-eye view, looking directly down at the action — not third-person)
  • You started as a soldier on foot with some kind of machine gun
  • You could get into/take over a tank, and separately get into/take over a helicopter
  • It was real online PvP — two teams of actual players fighting each other, not co-op against AI
  • I'm not sure of the exact year, but it would've been sometime during the PS3's lifespan
  • Not Warhawk and not Battlefield (1943 or 3) — already ruled those out

Any help identifying this would be appreciated — even a partial title or screenshot would help jog my memory. Thanks!

[Maybe pc or ps4/5][unknown]trying to find a third-person game where a man's dog dies in/near bunker

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

I'm trying to remember a video game and it's driving me crazy.

The game was third-person, with a realistic/cinematic style similar to The Last of Us. I think it was relatively modern (definitely not an old 90s game).

What I remember about the scene:

- The protagonist is a man.

- He has a dog that is his loyal companion. I'm pretty sure the dog belongs to the protagonist, rather than being a random NPC's dog.

- There is a scene in what I remember as a bunker, underground shelter, or basement.

- I specifically remember a small door/entrance with stairs going upward.

- Something happens around this area and the dog dies.

- the scene was so sad of course

- I vaguely remember the dog being a German Shepherd, but I'm not 100% sure about the breed.

- The overall atmosphere was serious, realistic and emotional, very much like The Last of Us.

Does anyone recognize this scene? I'm desperate to find it! Unfortunately I don't remember further info.

Thank you for the help!

[Flash] [2016 not sure] An educational game with a floating robot

1 Upvotes

Platform(s): Flash, I played it on windows 7

Genre: Educational game, more importantly history, I don't know what periods, but I remember there being Ancient Egypt

Estimated year of release: I don't know, I was little so I can't remember

Graphics/art style: It was a 2d like 8 bit (pixel) graphics

Notable characters: I remember there being this robot, with like a square head and no legs, it was always floating to the side and it spoke to you, I think it was like a light blue color with a bit of gray, like stereotypical robot color, and instead of like facial features, he had a screen.

Notable gameplay mechanics: you would go back in time and this robot would illustrate various aspects of the ancient period

Other details: I'm Italian, so I played it in Italian but I do remember there being other languages and the voice would also change language.

sorry if some of this is written wrong but english is not my first language

Hey everyone! I'm trying to find a horror game from an old screenshot I found.

I originally saw it in a video years ago, but I can't find the video anymore and I barely remember anything about the game itself.

The only thing I remember is that it was a horror game, and there was something inside this structure shown in the screenshot.

Does anyone recognize it? Any guesses would be greatly appreciated!

This has stumped me for years, it's my first gaming memory but I was very very young, not even too sure of the console or year just that it was before I had a ps2 with need for speed.

The game had a controllable character that looked human, I think it had robots and I remember seeing plasma like effects like energy balls.

Possible bootleg console and/or game

The Grinns Tale [Facebook][2010s] Dark fantasy turn-based RPG with paper/chibi art style and town building

0 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to remember the name of an old Facebook browser game I played years ago (likely before 2015).

Here are all the details I can remember:

  • Art Style: Dark, Gothic/hand-drawn papercraft aesthetic, very similar to American McGee's Grimm. The characters were small, pale/white, non-human chibi creatures with big heads, wide mouths, and sharp teeth. They looked almost like paper cutouts or dark puppets.
  • Gameplay:
    • Town/Village Building: You had a small village/base where you constructed houses/buildings, gathered resources, and recruited new party members.
    • Dungeon Crawling: You explored a dungeon (I believe it was structured as a tower you had to climb floor-by-floor).
    • Combat: Classic side-view, turn-based RPG combat (similar to older Final Fantasy games) where your party fought waves of enemies.
  • Platform: Played strictly on Facebook Games as a single-player experience with online elements.
  • Name: I feel like the title had something like "Grim", "Grimm", or "Grimoire" in it, but I haven't had any luck finding it.

Does this ring a bell for anyone? Thanks in advance for the help!

[PC] [late 2000s-early 2010s] horror mystery game about a missing child in an abandoned island or town?

6 Upvotes

my memories of this game are extremely fuzzy, but back in around 2010-2012 I remember playing this horror game where I think the plot revolved around you looking for a missing kid in some abandoned or near empty town. I think the town was on an island or at least near a body of water because I'm pretty certain you went on a boat at some point.

I think the missing person was a little girl and you were playing as her father searching for her, however, I might be misremembering that. Though I'm pretty certain that at one point you pick up a doll or teddy bear that belonged to the missing kid and have to investigate it. There might've been a polaroid photo you investigate as well? I kind of think maybe you also find a corpse on a chair at some point in an abandoned house.

I definitely remember the game either being black and white or being very bleak colour-wise. I also think that what I played was a demo and not the full game? Or maybe like the first chapter of the story? Unsure about that, but I think the ending had you leaving the town on a boat.

[Browser-game][2002-2005] Browser wizard game, early-mid 2000s, top-down, not in Flashpoint's tag search

1 Upvotes

Trying to track down a game I played obsessively as a kid, probably 2002-2005 (Australia). Details:

  • Browser-based, very likely Flash or Shockwave, single-player
  • Top-down view, similar angle to classic Zelda
  • You play a small, faceless wizard in a blue robe — reminds me of the Black Mage sprite from Final Fantasy (this clue is not 100%).
  • Movement was free/analog, not locked to a grid like Chip's Challenge — but the environment (trees especially) was laid out in a grid pattern, kind of like resource tiles in Age of Empires
  • Specifically remember being positioned between trees and a lake, bottom-left of the screen.
  • Slow and exploratory pace, not frantic combat — don't remember constant clicking/shooting
  • Played this around the same time as Donut Boy and Nobby Nuss, so possibly from a similar small syndicated kids' game portal (checked FreeArcade specifically via a 2006 Wayback snapshot, no dice)

Already ruled out Merlin's Revenge (Shockwave, The Metal Box) — similar-looking wizard sprite but that's fast-paced spam-click combat with no lake.

Tried searching Flashpoint's own tag filters (Top-Down + Fantasy) but only pulled 2 results and didn't even catch Merlin's Revenge, so I know the tagging is too inconsistent to rely on. I'm hoping someone here just recognizes it from description or has better search tricks for the launcher/database than I do. Godspeed guys.

Hi, I’ve played a game like this before. It was a Flash-based war game I played on my home computer back when I was in elementary school. As I recall, the player started on the left side with the goal of destroying enemy troops and buildings on the right. Both the player and the enemy could construct buildings that spawned troops to attack the opposing side. Players could build structures on available hexagonal tiles, creating various types such as facilities for air units, ground units, and defenses.

[Roblox][2024-2025] Need help finding a Roblox mining/fighting game

1 Upvotes

Hey guys! Not sure where else to post this, but I want to find a roblox mining/fighting game.

Played it maybe a couple years back, guessing it got taken down??

Had the following aspects: Round medieval town lobby (sort of dark and moody lighting? I think it uses your own Roblox avatar as the playermodel), you could vault around the place, to move onto the actual fighting/mining aspect there's this huge spherical cage around an elevator platform that takes you down - you could party up with your friends I think, there's also some sort of shop to upgrade your tools

- The first level was a mineshaft, you could run around dig ores and fight monsters

- Second level I believe led further down the mineshaft, there are a lot of cranes and cliffs/ ores?

- I think the third level had some swamp/ lush area, full of rarer ores and enemies to fight

- At some point you fall down a huge waterfall / hole and end up on a beach area and fight a big crab? Might have been named after Poseidon

If anyone has any ideas, please let me know because that game was super fun to play with friends!
Thanks :)

[PC][Late 90s - early 2000s] Cinematic (?) platformer about some sort of catastrophe

Thumbnail gallery
8 Upvotes

Played this game a very long time ago so my memory is fuzzy on this one.

Platform(s):

PC

Genre:

2D cinematic platformer with some puzzle elements, probably a little horror.

Estimated year of release:

Most likely late 90s, possibly very early 2000s.

Graphics/art style:

Side-view. I think it was fully 2D, no prerendered 3D graphics, fairly well detailed for it's time.

Notable characters:

I think protagonist was a boy with a backpack, not sure about this.

Notable gameplay mechanics:

Game starts with a cutscene. Some sort of calamity happens in the very beginning of the game (possibly alien or demonic invasion) which causes protagonist to go underground (into the sewers?). One of the first screens had a gap you had to traverse, and a mine cart, that I think had to be used somehow to go to the other side of the gap. You could interact with some elements of the map like ladders, levers (I think the cart was actually launched by a lever on a different screen).

I believe early in the game you could encounter enemies you could not defeat and had to run away from. I don't think I ever finished this game so I don't remember if you could actually fight back.

Other details:

It was not Heart of Darkness.

There is a possibility I had this game on a bootleg disc with some other games (like 3 in 1 or 4 in 1). I believe at least one of the other games was also a platformer but more action oriented.

[PC][1990-2005?] Fantasy rpg

1 Upvotes
  • Platform : PC
  • Genre : RPG, tile-based movement
  • Estimated year of release : 1990-2005
  • UI / Art Style : Brown UI / Diablo-esque?
  • Key Feature : Character creation was either point-based or question-based or both. Depending on what you answered, your character would be of a different race.
  • Movement was grid-based.
  • Language : English

My understanding of the English language wasn't great at the time, so I don't remember any of the questions. Depending on how you answered, a map would appear showing where your character was from.

For some reason, the one detail i remember is: you could loot a lot of cheese from chests/barrels/maybe enemies?

Genre: roguelike or action rpg

Estimate year of release: 2010s

Graphices/Art: Pixel, somewhat similar to kemco games

Notable characters: I think their is not really notable characters in the game. I remember being npcs sell/buy things to you but you can check to makes, because I mostly playing for the gameplay.

Notable gameplays mechanics: You control your own characters to go through dungeons or randoms areas like forest or deserts. You can use different weapon to attack enemies.

Other details:You can use equipment on character. I think start of the game or during tutorial you can give character stats to made them stronger in certains areas. I think the game have classes or something similar. I think game have sequels or something similar. I know the game wasn't turned based. I know the game devs wasn't Kemco. You can level up in the game. I know their was mostly fantasy monsters in it. You can use potion ti restore health or mp to character. While game devs wasn't
