I would expect the movie tie-in game to be more lackluster but I never played The Curse of the Were-Rabbit so I won't argue with that. It does seem to quite differ from Project Zoo in term of gameplay from what I looked up on youtube.

Did you finished it? I couldn't beat the final lord of the first region and I know there are at least two other regions to clear.

I played it although I can't say I liked it.

>>720298623
Nah sadly, it was on an older family-computer that was thrown out at some point and I never got far. I do remember clearing a region though.
Overall pretty fun game. I should see if I can't get it working on a modern system some day.

>>720299224
King's Bounty 2 from what I've seen have oddly similar gameplay with the mix of over-the-sholder rpg and turn based homm combat. I can't say if some of the same people worked on both games, but they were both made under 1C company. I haven't played it but I feel you might be interested checking it out.

>>720300527
I haven't played that Ascension game, but in King's Bounty you could usually marry and have babies with the slut of your choosing.
And of course divorce her immediately if she didn't produce a high-stat baby.

the italian dub in this one is hilarious because it was done directly by the anglo voice actors to save money. They did a surprisingly good job all things considered, but every character has a strong and weird accent.

Gba, the game only came out on it. Here's an odd thing I found out. The game was made by CinéGroupe, a Canadian animation studio. Yeah, animation studio. They also made two Dora the Explorer games on gba and beyond that their whole work is animated movies and tv shows.

>>720309572
It got remake some years ago. I have to say the lack of any voice acting in the game makes it feel so odd. Like the game doesn't necessary have to be fully voiced, but seeing characters moving their mouths in complete silence in cutscenes looks just weird. They could at least put in some pseudo-ancient Egyptian mumbling if the budget was really too small to hire any voice actors.

Scratches is another good one, though probably less obscure. I miss the weird mid-2000s adventure games; was a bizarre choice for a studio considering how far technology had advanced compared to the point-and-clicks of the late 80s and 90s.

>>720355856
Pretty much nailed it. It had that early-2000s "look how cool we are" aesthetic going on, but once the novelty wore off you hit that mid-tier jank wall hard. Combat felt floaty and the level design was all over the place. Still, I'd be lying if I said I didn't obsess over the VHS-style cutscenes as a kid.

I have two games like that
One was a 2D sidescroller where the screen keeps moving on its own, you're some kid in a dark sewer, you can jump between platforms and monsters keep coming at you, you throw shit around in hopes of killing the things, it was played with those controllers with a stick and two buttons, very ancient shit.

Second one was some sort of powerboat racing game where you drive on water or hover over it, collect balls and drive through hoops for points, maps were full of rails, loop-de-loops and ramps that were covered in balls or had the hoops in them
very fast paced and had a very extravagant announcer screaming every time you scored "PLAY BALL" or something

If you're ok with jankiness, and I assume you're, then I would say go for it. I especial liked how variety the levels were. You got your regular levels, pseudo-2D levels when you climb up walls, some puzzles and even vehicle sections. From negatives I remember finding the combat too floaty and overall bad and the checkpoints too sparse on some levels. I also can't really remember how good jumping was.

I remember there was even a goldfish or something that came out of a bowl and turned buff. Does anybody remember this? Also there was another thing i had in english class. Beside Muzzy there was an application/game that had a genie with a bus and he sang a song that went "welcome to our world" or something.

You solve murder on an island that's about to sink. There's a special mode where you have time limit to solve the case. When I played it years ago I bounced out of it since the gameplay looked to be about talking to every character on every topic and then coming back to characters you talked to at the start to talk about new information you learned. Nowadays I grew to like investigation-focused games so I've thought about giving the game another chance but the reviews complaining about extensive pixel hunting and overall sluggishness pull me away from it.

OK since this is the threat I gotta shoot my shot.
I remember a game where:
In one of part of the opening cutscene, probably towards the end there was an engulfed staircase, hell like atmosphere. Maybe a demon or some monster appeared before it ends but I don't remember.
Early 2000s action/adventure game vibes. Simple environment assets, you control a guy who walks around (probably wielding a sword?). It should be vaguely similar to Rune in terms of looks and feel.
One of the first enemies you fight is a spider.
And that's all I fucking remember.
Does anyone magically know what I am talking about?
>>
>>720363294
If it helps I am mostly certain that there aren't any NPCs around in the early game.
In the early game there is also an area with large stones, maybe similar to Stonehenge. Also it is possible that the spider ambushes you around here.
I will try to remember more details.

Holy shit memory unlocked
There must be so many gameboy games I've forgotten over the years
If only my retarded parents/grandparents hadn't sold literally every bit of retro gaming/tcg for fucking nothing at yard sales 10+ years ago

After actually playing this I find it funny how often it gets mentioned in these kinds of threads because it's not named for that definition of the word. It's named because of the flashlight weakening gimmick and most enemies being "obscured" by dark plant things.

first ever console game I played, parents gave it to me for my birthday with a gamecube and smash bros melee. I played this way more than melee at first because i couldnt figure out how to use the analog stick properly and this let you move with the dpad haha.

played through it on emulator recently for nostalgia, its not the worst thing in the world but it is pretty bad lol. i enjoyed it a lot though, because of the nostalgia.

This one was cool even if controlling vehicles was a pain in the ass.
>>
>>720307565
Lmao I'm playing this for the first time in 2025. I'm enjoying it so far. Castlevania Lament of Innocence I'm also enjoying a lot. They tell me curse of darkness is way better but this is still good. Idk if God of war ripped LOI or it was the other way around
>>
>>720381671
AI is really shit and the vehicle controls are not very good in the first game but the atmosphere and the missions developing as you play are fantastic
started replaying the series recently for nostalgia's sake and I'm still enjoying it greatly despite the flaws
>>
may as well dump some more webms I made, I've almost never seen anyone talk about this series anyway

Weren't the game made by Germans? That's why.
Emergency series is something I always wanted to give a try back in the day because of magazine ads but simply ended up forgetting about with time, and I'm willing to bet I'm not the only one like this.
>>
>>720296250
I rented a pirate game years and years ago. Couldn't find it but I think this is it!
>>
>>720382592
The Emergency games are great, 3 and 4 are the best ones IMO, tons of mission variety since you control all the emergency units instead of just firefighters so it can go from saving people in car wrecks to arresting terrorists and evacuating civilians from a bomb rigged cinema
surprisingly it's still alive as a series and they released a F2P version in 2023, I don't even want to think about all the microtransactions they must have shoved into it

French actually. By Monte Cristo company. You're thinking about Emergency series which is a completely different franchise.
>>
>>720383117
Wait, so there were TWO separate series about firefighters?
>>
>>720310101
Bruh. Evolution was my first game for the dreamcast. Pretty rough but I enjoyed it. Never thought I would see it in the game cube. Didn't even know it had a sequel.
>>
>>720383316
only two RTS series featuring firefighters, yeah
there are some indie games Fire Commander that try to recreate them but they just aren't as in-depth as Emergency or Fire Department
>>
>>720378417
That's fair, maybe if I enjoy it I'll make a thread about it just for you Anon.
>>
>>720383316
>>720383571
Well, to be precise Emergency is also about medical and police forces and not all levels revolve around fire. Monte Cristo's series is the one to focus on firefighters in specific.

Reminds me of Draconus. Cult of the Wyrm. I played it on Dreamcast. Like a 3d hack and slash but extremely janky and basic. Never seen it discussed anywhere

Replayed the first one on the Dreamcast last year. Loved this back in the day. Must have beaten it like a dozen times. I completely forgot there were even any mystery dungeon like elements to it. Must be what kickstarted my love for those too
>>
>>720369389
I never played it but I knew it existed due to my first Gamecube game being Spy Hunter and the case had an ad for it inside

>sabertooth vs gambit is a 10-0 matchup because sabertooth has a bug where he can hit his command grab from fullscreen and gambit is the ONLY character in the cast who has 5f of delay before he can act on round start for some reason so he can't reach sabertooth before the chain begins
Kino i'm afraid

I remember a flash game about something gluey or maybe a booger, sticking to a wall and perhaps it was a puzzle game?

another one was creepy dolls in a fighting game, when you win a round you cut on of your opponents limps and attached it to yours

I couldn't find them anywhere.. not even 128×128 pic..
