So I remember watching a trailer for a really obscure game that's releasing on Steam and Switch.
But I forgot the title and now I can't find it.
Here's what I remember:
Thank you for your time ☺
- It's a cutesy looking game.
- It's in a magical forest (I think?)
- It's about a little girl looking for magic ingredients for her grandfather (maybe?)
- The girl has cat ears.
Fortune Summoners?
I haven't heard anything about a Switch release though.
Is it Rune?
Or maybe Mark of Kri or its sequel:
Nope, neither of them.
I think it's worth to mention that what i meant by "heavily stylized" is really something in the lines of a cartoonish approach, tho the general setting and vibes fits what you showed me with Rune.
Still think it will be kind of a miracle to find it, since it feels like a very obscure title, but i'm getting a little bit more hopeful because it seems that with each guess we're getting something right about it, at least.
In any case, thanks!
Mark of Kri is cartoony. But the dude mainly uses a sword. I was actually convinced it was that one, also from your level description. It had wide open levels with a lot of exploration. But if it's not the one, it's not the one.
I also thought about Viking: Battle for Asgard, but that's PS3.
Really need you help here, searched it by years but never find it.
PC game, it's a sort of tetris but in 3D with spinning cylindre gameplay, so you had to rotate that and push block down.
Can't remember if you had to make lines or columns to make points but yeah, that's roughly the game.
Thank you!

Nope, it was full 3D but yeah, with blocks like this, not tetrominos.
Almost sure it was a commercial release during the 2000s, but you nailed the concept, the game was like this but with full 3D graphic and an ancient setting.Are we talking a commercial release, or a smaller thing? There's Ben Joffe's "Torus" that seems to fit the bill, and it's about thirteen years old now.
Sounds like one of the many Welltris or Blockout variants out there.Really need you help here, searched it by years but never find it.

As I said to the other person, they weren't proper tetraminos but more like stone blocks like in Klax. But yeah, you rotated the camera around the cylindre like this Torus.
I remember there was a "tower/towers" in the title but I'm not 100% sure and using that on google didn't helped.
Thanks <3
Marathon?I can't remember the name of a PC game from the 90s (possibly pre-Doom). I think it was an FPS set on a space station or something and I remember there were terminals where you got lore and story dumps. It's not System Shock
Maybe, I've considered it before but I'm not sure. Thanks!
Other Sci-Fi FPS include Blake Stone and Corridor 7, but those don't have any lore to speak of.
Yeah, it's definitely not those. If there aren't many other likely options it's probably Marathon. Just hard to remember since it was so long ago and I only played for a couple hours on a school computer (can't even remember if it was a Mac).Other Sci-Fi FPS include Blake Stone and Corridor 7, but those don't have any lore to speak of.

A quick google suggests that Soviet Strike has a mission called "Dracula Strike" so...that I guess?I have a weird amount of nostalgia for what I presume is one of the "Strike" games, but I've never been able to track down the precise one.
It was on the PlayStation I'm pretty sure, and it was almost an open-world where you flew your helicopter around doing miscellaneous tasks. I don't remember a central objective, but I could be wrong.
But the main thing I remember is you could blow up an old spooky mansion and lower a rope to rescue Dracula.

Seicross?NES game, horizontal shooter like Gradius, where you play as a hoverbike and there's a lot of colorful stones you need to dodge. It's very hard. Can't remember the name.
From the latest issue of Retro Gamer...any ideas guys? I presume this person is from the UK so it would be something released in Europe.
"In the late Nineties, maybe early Noughties, I remember playing a two-player lightgun game in the arcades with a friend of mine. The basic gist of the game was that you played two hitmen who didn't want to work for the boss anymore. The boss was at the top of this massive tower block, and told the guys they could leave but they had to fight off other hitmen on their way down (a bit like the movie The Raid).
If I remember right, the game had a Viewtiful Joe look to it (it was very colourful!). I've checked lots of online forums and apart from the usual Time Crisis no one knows what it was called. I seem to think it was something like Killer 7 or Super 6 but I'm not sure. It's bugging me as I'd like to see if there are any ports of it. Any ideas?"
The magazine suggests Golgo-13 but do say that's only a one-player game.
NES game, top down vertical shump where you play as a soldier or a vehicle, can't remember now, and your special attack is a plane, first sighted with it's shadow, then later it destroys every enemy on screen, has limited use. It was hard as hell.
I remember thundercade/twin formation had a smart bomb like that.
It's a vertical shooter in which you control a motorbike / sidecar
So I have very clear memories of an arcade game I used to play back in the early 2000's (maybe late 90's?), yet I can't recall anything specific about it nor have I seen it ever again since then. I think it was a 2D platformer (SNES/PS1 graphics?) featuring some sort of biped fox that ran around, sometimes breaking boxes. I'm pretty sure it's not Crash Bandicoot but maybe there was a resemblance there.
It stings because I used to play tons of arcades back in the day and I remember all about them (Tekken, Metal Slug, Puzzle Bobble, etc), but this one eludes me.
Might be, huh. I'm not sure, but it definitely looks the part.
Sounds like Outtrigger.I'm trying to remember a game from the early 2000's I think. I believe it was on Dreamcast, online, arena shooter (first person?), bright colors, had a flamethrower, controlled humans (not aliens or vehicles or mechs). I don't remember much else and searching lists of Dreamcast games with cover art hasn't jogged my memory. Pretty sure it isn't Quake based on the screenshots I could find. At the time I wasn't gaming on PC and didn't have the online adapter for PS2 so I'm really at a loss trying to put a name to the memories.
Could be Outrigger? That's an arena shooter with fairly colourful graphics (especially for the time), with human characters and a flamethrower.I'm trying to remember a game from the early 2000's I think.

So. Here's what I remember:
This was a game for DOS or early Windows
It was some sort of helicopter shoot-em-up
It was a side-scroller shmup specifically (not top down, definitely not isometric or polygons)
I believe the first couple levels were in the clouds and then around a city. I don't remember being good at it, but I was really young when I played it.
The game over sound was really memorable to me, because it sounded really goofy. I think it may very well have been this stock sound clip. I thought it was hilarious, but, again, really young.
I've asked around a few places. Nobody really seems to know.
