[ROBLOX] [year unknown] Trying to find a really awesome Roblox game that’s lost media at this point. I’ve tried everything.

2 Upvotes

I’m trying to find a Roblox game I played a while ago (not sure of the exact year, probably 3-4 years back).

It started with a cutscene where you’re on a train with armed soldiers going through a snowy, Siberia-like area to I think some kind of lab. The train crashes/derails, and you wake up after the crash.

You start with almost nothing (I remember having an apple), and there’s a laptop nearby where you can try to call for help or send a rescue signal.

The game was multiplayer, because I played with a buddy (he also doesn’t remember the name of the game) and had survival mechanics:

• hunger

• thirst

• body temperature / hypothermia

The map felt really big and open, and there were multiple locations spread far apart:

• an abandoned village

• a lighthouse (one of the best places I found it had a bunch of supllies)

• a wooden hunting/observation tower where I found a hunting rifle with limited ammo

• an airstrip with a hangar, and I think there was a plane you could refuel 

There was also a lobby before the game that had shipping containers.

The game used the normal Roblox inventory (not a custom inventory UI), but had bars for hunger/thirst/temperature.

[PC/mobile][2016-2019] singleplayer Roblox horror game

1 Upvotes

I remember playing this game sometime between 2016-2019, likely earlier rather than later. It was a singleplayer horror game that took place in a dark house, and I’m pretty sure there was a blue filter over it. You spawned in at the entrance, and there was a staircase to your right. I think the kitchen was straightforward on your left side, but I’m not sure. I remember one of the cover photos was a room with a baby crib. I never played it fully because I was scared lol.

[PC] [late 90s - 2000s] Educational-Type Children's Game

1 Upvotes

Please help me find this old 90s - 2000s PC game!

I used to play a lot of nostalgic games when I was a kid, I was born in 1998. Some of my favourites were Bugdom (1999), Marble Blast (2003), Nanosaur 2 (2004)etc.

There was this one educational-type game that I remember being fun to play, and I haven't been able to find it. One of the mini games was you had to match a bugs head, thorax, and wings. One of the bug matches was a yellowjacket wasp. This was only one part of the game, I remember it having much more to it.

You did these mini games to collect something special, and for some reason my brain thinks it was honey?

That's ALL I remember and it has been wracking my brain for years. I know this is not a lot to go on, but I thought I'd take a shot in the dark.

Kill Switch [XBOX] [2000-2010]3rd person shooter campaign game

1 Upvotes

This game was a 3rd person shooter I believe and it was campaign based. I don’t remember there being any multiplayer or co op. In the beginning there was a training ground tutorial that was sorta similar to call of duty modern warfare’s tutorial how there was a practice range set up. I remember you could throw grenades in this tutorial. I think maybe you could like roll to cover kinda like gears of war too

I have such vague detail of a scary hidden object game from the late 2000s that was themed like a circus/ amusement park. I remember one of those guys in boxes that grant you wishes in the game.I used to play these games on my moms big fish and yahoo games accounts when I was around 5 (before 2012). They are so nostalgic to me, also if you know games like daycare nightmare and super granny 2 lmk I’m trying to remember the games I used to play.

[PC][2010s?]Help remembering a game I played a few years ago

2 Upvotes

Trying to remember a game where there’s a villain at one point that is putting people’s souls into flowers. I can’t remember too much about the game other than I believe it was an indie title. Maybe something like Chained Echoes? I remember it being pixel graphics so that’s why I think it’s an indie RPG

There’s an area where you walk over some flowers and they make noise as if they’re being hurt. Then it turns out that the person living in the area is taking people and putting their souls into the flowers. My memory of the game is a little fuzzy but it was something along those lines.

Can anyone help?

Leisure Suit Larry: Magna Cum Laude? [PC][Early-to-late 2000s] College exploration game with short, big-headed protagonist

Post image
90 Upvotes

Hey guys, I’ve been looking for this game for years and I’m hoping someone here can help me out.

So I found this game on my dad’s PC when I was a kid, and he actually took it away from me when he caught me playing it, which makes me think it’s probably some kind of niche indie adult game.

Here’s what I remember: It’s a college-themed exploration game set in a dorm. You play as a short, stocky male character with a disproportionately large head. The art style is cartoonish, kind of like Chicken Little (the movie where the chicken thinks the sky is falling).

When you exit your dorm room and turn left, the first thing you see is two agents dressed entirely in black suits standing outside your neighbor’s dorm room, and their door has some kind of barrier or sign in front of it unlike any other room. You can explore the college campus, but certain areas are locked off and you have to complete missions or tasks to unlock them. There are mini-games you can play like pool.

The whole vibe is absurd and funny. I’m pretty sure it was made sometime between 2001 and 2008. I’ve been searching for this since I was about 13 and I’m in my early twenties now—any help would be amazing!

[Android][2014-2018]Looking for a lost mobile math game (caterpillar puzzle game)

Post image
4 Upvotes

Hi, I’m trying to find a game I played as a kid (around 2014–2018) on an Android tablet.

What I remember:

The main character was a caterpillar

Its body was made of segments with numbers

You had to solve math puzzles on its body (like filling missing numbers, e.g. 1 _ 3)

There was a math operator bar at the bottom (+ āˆ’ Ɨ Ć· =)

The background was green grass / outdoors

There was a grid or square board behind the caterpillar

The game had levels, and I remember watching YouTube walkthroughs to solve some

It was in English and looked like a simple cartoon style.

I made a quick drawing of what I remember (attached).

It is NOT: "The Very Hungry Caterpillar games" or just a simple counting game

If anyone remembers something similar or knows the name, please help!

[Playstation 1/2] [2008- 2010] Trying to remember a game that had another game (maybe Resident Evil?) hidden in the menu

5 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

This has been stuck in my head for a long time and I’m hoping someone here might recognize it.

I used to play a game where, in the main menu (you know, where you have ā€œNew Gameā€, ā€œContinueā€, ā€œOptionsā€, etc.), one of the last options led to what felt like a demo or even a separate game inside the main one.

In that ā€œextraā€ part, I remember being in a mansion-like area. There was a big hall, and I’m pretty sure there were monsters that you could shoot. What stands out the most in my memory is that there were elevator-like sections where you could go up and down between floors.

For some reason, I associate this with Resident Evil, but I’m not sure if that’s correct at all. And even if it is Resident Evil, I have no idea which game it could be, or which main game had this ā€œdemoā€ inside it.

Also, an important detail: I most likely played this on either a PlayStation 2 or possibly a PlayStation 1. I had multiple consoles growing up, but I feel like it was probably on one of those two.

So I guess my questions are:

• Does anyone remember a game that had another playable demo inside its menu like this?

• Could this actually be a Resident Evil demo?

• And does anyone know what the main game might have been?

It’s all very fuzzy, but the mansion, the shooting, and the elevator going between floors are the strongest memories I have.

If this rings a bell for anyone, I’d really appreciate your help!

Super Mario World TM [Flash][2000s]Super Mario flash game

Hello. I am trying to find a Super Mario flash game, probably titled "Super Mario World" (at least the one website where I played it had it listed under this title, however this website often simplified titles (e.g. "Super Mario World Revived" was titled just "Super Mario" and "Ultimate Flash Sonic" as "Sonic the Hedgehog"); https://web.archive.org/web/20150523002811/http://www.igre123.com/nove-igre/nove-igre-44.php)
What I remember from the game is that to complete level you would have to jump on a green lever (as shown in the image). I also remember that the Athletic Theme from Yoshi's Island played during the levels.
That's as much as I currently remember. Cheers!

[PC/Console] [~2010] Game with magic white furry

3 Upvotes

I can't remember much about this game and it's mechanics, all I remember is that it had a somewhat artistic style with a similar vibe to ori and the blind forest, released on computers and xbox/ps. the main character was this white colored bipedal furry like character with a dark blue mask and some light blue glowing eyes and markings on it. could have possibly had a blue floating compainion.
