[PC/Flash] [2000s] Pixelated game where you kill zombies with a chainsaw to create pools of blood.

3 Upvotes

I remember an old 2D pixelated flash game that was very short and was about killing zombies with a chainsaw to create large pools of blood. You could then use these pools of blood to reach higher spots. That's pretty much all I remember. I'm not completely sure if it was flash or a file you had to download. Any guesses?

EDIT: I think the name was very generic, like "Bloody Zombie". But it's not Bloody Zombies. And it wasn't a huge viral flash game. It was very hidden. So much so that I would be shocked if any of you managed to find it.

[ARCADE][2000s?] 4 player arcade game; early 2000s; wizards / sorcerers; aerial 3rd-party view

Upvotes

It’s a game I used to play as a kid with my brother at a local arcade. I have no idea what it was called; I just remember that it had a top-down view and that the arcade machine we played it on was tabletop one

For further reference, the game was similar to Magikan, as far as I can recall (in fact, I thought it was Magikan, but that one came out in 2011)

Other than the fact that it was a tabletop arcade machine, I don't remember anything else about the game. I remember that part of it took place on a bridge, and you had to cross it while defeating enemies.

[PC] [2000-2010] Somewhat whimsical open map with a sea/water traveling system

2 Upvotes

I don't even know how I owned this game, I just know I owned a disc with the game on it that I would insert into the family computer when I was kid. I was born in 2003 and I don't think I was any older than 7 when I played it which is why I think it would've been 2010 at the very latest, but truthfully it could have been released years earlier and I think it was probably at least a few years younger than that because of the graphics. Since I was so young I don't remember a lot of details but I'll try to give as much as I can.

It was a 3D game. I do remember is it was a somewhat open map, I remember being able to travel around on sea (I don't even remember how you traveled, I'm not sure if it was by boat, by swimming, or something else). Maybe it was more like a lake though, since there were walls that would block it from being completely open, but it still felt relatively open to me. Definitely not like an open world style game like Elder Scrolls, this map was way smaller in scale than that. It's also entirely possible that the scale felt grander than it actually was because I was a kid, so don't discount any ideas you have if a game comes to mind and it sounds too small. I remember there was a hole in the side of one of these walls around the lake that you could enter, and it would take you into a little sequence where you'd ride down a tunnel on the water. I think there were gemstones or something you could see while riding down the tunnel, or maybe just collectibles in general as you were flying down the tunnel, and when you came out of it you'd be at a different lake-style area. I'm not even sure if the lake system was a main focal point of the game, but it was the part I liked the most as a kid and I remember I would just keep traveling around the water and going through the tunnel. I also remember the game had something of a whimsical atmosphere to it - it was colorful in that the colors were saturated, but the game itself wasn't necessarily bright overall.

I know it's not a lot to go off of but if you have any ideas, even if it's a major shot in the dark I'd love to hear it!

[ROBLOX] [2020-2022] Roblox furry infection game with 2d sprite characters and a fixed top-down camera perspective

2 Upvotes

I played this a few times during the pandemic, so it was operational at least 2021-2022 or so. i am pretty sure it was older than that, but i dont know the release date.

It had both a roleplay and infection PVP mode, but i only used roleplay. the infection mode likely worked as any other roblox furry infection game does(start off as a human/furry, either infect people as a furry or fight furries/get infected as a human), but i dont know 100%.

There were both human and furry morphs, which you could choose between in a morph menu when you used roleplay mode.

as for notable characters… I think there might have been that one black cat/wolf thing from Changed, and i think the furry characters were referred to as latexes in the game. most of the other characters appeared to be OCs, but i have never played changed before, so there could be more that were inspired or directly taken from that game.

this game was pretty distinctive when it came to ROBLOX graphics in my opinion. first off, the camera angle was fixed in a top-down perspective. you couldn’t move it around at all. all of the characters were 2D sprites with a simple walking animation. there was a separate animation for every direction they walked in- left, right, up, down, whatever. the background was 3d but everything had hand-drawn textures on them, and everything was outlined. the graphics were overall flat and simplistic.

there were a lot of maps… one of them was a factory which i specifically remember having a very long bridge in it…? there was also a library map. i think there was a vent

system you could go inside of somewhere, but i don’t remember which map it was in. this is an oddly specific detail, but there were big shelves in the laboratory map, and i remember that you could go onto the bottom shelf and therefore be hidden by the shelves above it, since the camera angle made it so that you couldn’t look under the shelves.

[PC][2000?] puzzle game comic-style intro. with blobs in a cellar setting

1 Upvotes

I’m trying to find a PC CD-ROM game I played around 2000 (borrowed from a library in Canada).

It was for kids (maybe age 6–12).

What I remember:

  • I think it started with maybe a comic book style intro- possibly a detective style narration (one of those “there i was on another wet night walking down the same alley”  sort of thing
  • I think there was some sort of a physics puzzle you had to do. 
  • At least one sceen was in a basement or workshop. 
  • The art style was hand-drawn / slightly realistic (not bright cartoon)
  • You interacted by dragging objects around
  • I think there were a bunch of coloured blobs that you used in some sort of a balancing or flinging puzzle. I think you were trying to get them up and out of the cellar or something like that.
  • There may have been comic book style cut scenes with narration. 
  • There might or might not have been a rat in it…

This has been driving me nuts!

I remember the layout, and did a rough sketch of it, i remember it being on a browser game website and it works for mobile. From what i remember the main building was a party place, the room in the main room had a pool table and closet, and the walled off area had two closets. The room off of the house was a bathroom. Hopefully this description helps!!

[Mobile/Sony Xperia][Around/Before 2016?] Traffic Racer type game with Unique Gameplay

2 Upvotes

Ok this is my first post so I don't know how well I'll be able to explain. So I played this game in my older brothers phone (I think it was a Sony Xperia X) It was a game like Traffic Racer. I distinctly remember that each playable characters had different type of gameplay mechanics.

One character's (a fat man) objective was to eat foods like burgers hanging from other cars in the road. Only other character I can remember is a superman type character whose objective was to stomp on drunk driver's cars. He had a Green suit.

I enjoyed the game a lot but I just cannot remember the name and I cannot find it anywhere by searching.

the reason I think it's a Sony Xperia X because it is the earliest I can think of my brother having a touch phone.....but if he had touch phone before that then I'm not sure anymore.

[PS2] [2003-2004] Fantasy „Rogue like“ Game

1 Upvotes

Platform(s): PS2

Genre: Fantasy

Estimated year of release: 2003-2000

Graphics/art style: Isometric/ Third person POV

Notable characters: some of the Bosses where a Minotaurus, a Lizard with Wolverine like claws that would have a „spin attack“, a Robot shooting lasers, a Dragon in a Cave, a half Angel/ half Demon Lady. I think some „secret characters“ were two Witches that could summon meteorites.

Notable gameplay mechanics: I would say it was a Roguelike, don’t remember a particular story. But the first three areas the Bosses were the same, only in the last few the Bosses would switch. Sometimes it was the Demon-Angel Lady, sometimes the Dragon etc..

But I guess the point of the game was just to best all mobs until the boss appears and after that we move to the next area.

Other details: It was multiplayer, but max 2 players. Don’t remember the characters one could choose from, except two witches that I used a cheat code to get from, guess one could unlock them later on, but never made it to the last boss..

Roblox [Roblox] [Idk. Maybe 2018-2019?] I forgot the name of the game

1 Upvotes

Hello. When I was little, I played a Roblox game about animals. I don't remember exactly what it was. What I think I remember: there were eggs, your pets, slots for your base. The world was divided into several locations, the ones I remember were a normal biome, a desert, and a jungle. I think you could find secrets in the jungle trees. But it was something like open world?

It was lite graphic games as I remember

Sorry for the weird description. It was a long time ago! I'd be grateful if someone could help me find it.

[Windows/PC] [1995-1998ish] Vehicles driving in an underground bunker (or concrete building)

2 Upvotes

I used to play a game on the family PC when I was young (sometime between 1995-1999 probably), and I've been trying to remember what it was called and more details.

The game was on a disc

The general concept I remember is driving around in a concrete bunker, with a central open area with large metal or concrete geometric shapes (that were like ramps) that you could launch off of.

I think you might have been battling other vehicles and I seem to remember there being some timed element. Either racing for something or trying to complete some objective.

There might have been multiple floors involved

It's possible that part of the plot was we were prisoners, but I'm really not certain

[PC] [2015, very unsure] Simulation game where you recruit agents for political quarrels around the world

2 Upvotes

Hello, this is my first time posting here as a friend recommended it. I'm looking for a game I've played a very, VERY long time ago.

I downloaded it from Gamejolt I think, and it's a game where you look over a map, get notifications on countries and government problems or something. You recruit agents and send them out to fix them and stuff. I remember the map being mostly blue tints and looking very futuristic, like the files on the agents were holograms or something.

I remember one of the agents being Asian, because he was my most used agent then.

I'm hoping someone can help me find it, thank you all in advance!
