(Also looks like they're calling it "WillPower 1.0".) Can't find a disk image anywhere though, old PC games seem to be a lot better preserved than old applications. Thank you! Last time I checked I barely got any results at all. I managed to find old generic IBM applications from the mid '80s so there might be a disk image of Willpower 1.0 somewhere online.

There was a video on YouTube in the late aughts sometime called “the poo cutters” and if I had to guess, it was a weird song comprised of audio clips from a weird movie I’ve never seen or heard of, but that’s what it sounded like. Random audio like “spring break ‘08!” and “drat lillica” and “accident, mega dent, everybody brush your tooth” etc. It’s been so long that my friends hardly remember any of the dumb quotes we used to say from that song /video but we bring up “the poo cutters” as an example of weird early YouTube nonsense lost to time.

I received a dragon figurine as a gift some time between 1994 and 1998. It was pale green, and was sitting in a gift-giving type pose, offering up a marble. It was purchased at an Eagle grocery store in the midwest US. It got lost in a move years ago. It's got the same baby-face-with-crystal styling as a Krystonia dragon, but none of those seem right. Plus, it had scale detailing, and the Krystonia are smooth. The same with Pocket Dragons; not enough detail. The detail on the Summit collection dragons is close, but I can't find one that looks like mine. It wasn't as iridescent as a Windstone dragon, and none of the Trinx dragons look right either. I feel like I've looked at every collectible dragon figurine brand that's out there, and nothing is right. Does anyone have any thoughts?

There was some sort of adventure game on my computer that was about a bear in a city, trying to get him some fish. Thats all I remember, but the game owned edit: It has to be from either late 90's or very early 2000's. I think it was point&click but Im not 100% sure, but it was mostly puzzle solving Also most my games that time came from weird north-european game magazine demo discs, so it could very well have been a cancelled game The Alchemist fucked around with this message at 16:25 on Jul 4, 2022 |

It wasn't that cartoony nor oriented just for kids, although I was like 8 years at the time so my memory might be deceiving me somewhat. Thanks for the link to the list anyway, I'll dig through it and report if I find it. Meanwhile, if anyone recalls a really good game about a bear that likes fish, do tell..

In my head is a terrible pun to the tune of “would my mallard feel-more if is billard was full-more” which I have to imagine came from some post or like maybe the BSS webcomic thread, and it was related to the strip Mallard Fullmore? The pun is nonsensical enough that it may be misquoted by me or was just someone’s shitpost. Idk, ring a bell with anyone? Just wondering what the gently caress the source is.

I have wanted to post this for years and years but felt it too embarrassing and silly but I'm just gonna go for it today. All I want, all i fuckin want is this animated like 20x20px emoji gif from a long time ago of a little  enjoying music- the look of the smiley matched the basic vbulletin style.I'm pretty sure I saw in BYOB like 10 years ago and all it was was a face of some sort wearing headphones and smiling, having a good ol time while a couple 🎶 floated over his head. He was straight vibing. My man was having such a good time that I've always wanted to steal it to post here or these days use in my discords. Unfortunately for me the internet has changed significantly since I first saw it so for years any time I search any combination "emoji music headphones animated" in google I only get these monstrosities: please, someone, help me find him

Lately, I’ve been on an extensive nostalgia hunt for media I experienced as a kid: TV, movies, video games, everything. I found a few things in this thread, and have found a lot of stuff on my own, but I have these few for which I’ve had no luck. I’d really appreciate any help, I tried to write down as much as I could remember: Cartoons 1. Old cartoon (possibly 70s or 80s, and maybe educational) about possibly medieval warfare, there were armored men on horses using poles and swords. After the battle, tree trunks were being cut down and used to build roads for horses, and (possibly war) prisoners were placed beneath the trunks as execution or punishment as horses walked atop them and crushed them. 2. Animated short – An animated short that played between cartoon shows. It was stylized (geometric, paper cut-out, stop motion? Instrumental, no dialog – sounds like Spanish guitars in the background music) about a man who creates a robotic woman, he falls in love with her but she breaks down. In the end, he is sitting on a bench, sad and alone, and a real woman who looks like his robot (but different color dress and hair) walks by or approaches him and sits with him. 3. Anime – When I was a kid, I stayed up late and was flipping through channels and came across an anime (not sure if series or movie, seemed 80’s or 90’s style). It was a dystopian society, maybe the future, in which people were enslaved and any dissenters were publicly executed on electric crosses. You’d see 4 spikes come together over their chest as they were electrocuted. A female character, I think with long blond hair, tries to lead a revolution, but she is captured and about to be executed the same way, but a male character rescues her at the last minute. I remember she was up on the cross and one of her breasts was exposed, I remember thinking it was weird because she had no nipple. I changed the channel relieved that she was rescued but too anxious to watch the rest. As I was flipping the channels again later, I came across the ending of this. It seemed to have ended positively. She and the male character part ways, and she covers herself in a hooded cloak and walks away from the camera. 4. Webtoon – possibly in Flash. I think I had previously seen this artist’s work on Newgrounds and went to his website where he had other cartoons. One featured a blue succubus or demon girl whose floating head would appear and float around people. She talked about enjoying watching people’s awkward or embarrassing social interactions. She comes across a man and woman sitting at a bench not talking or looking at each other, and she exclaims enthusiastically “It’s just so… awkward!” The people didn’t seem to see her. Games 1. Old (Oregon Trail style bit game) about a castle? Or maze? And riddle or puzzles to get through it. I remember a castle drawbridge. It had minimal colors. (Might be Memory Castle but not entirely sure). 2. Old game (activity center?) in which you selected images to print or could color in on the computer. I would always choose dinosaurs at a birthday party wearing party hats and eating pizza.

This was the 90's redo of Casshan/Casshern Robot Hunter, which played a lot in the later 90s on the Sci-Fi Channel. No image added due to mentioned anxiety but you can Google that.

I’m looking for a video game that was available in the mid 90s on MS-DOS. It was an airplane game that was 2D from a side platformer-esque perspective. You’d pick an airplane from this huge list (including helicopters and novelty planes and stuff) and then do objectives - stuff like picking up a stranded person or shoot down enemy jets or whatever. If you went far enough, the level circled around back to the start. I remember a song from the game, went something like “drop a bomb, drop a bomb… drop a bomb - drop a bomb, drop a bomb… anywhere”. Help me figure out what game this was!

The Coveted Mirror was the last of the "what was that game I played on the library's Apple II as a kid?" titles that I figured out, all thanks to some illiterate jerk correcting me when I (correctly, at like age 6) asked for the game from the locked game drawer and he was like "no, it's 'covered;' the mirror has a blanket over it." Obviously he might have been joking but considering some of the other dumb things that guy said to me over the next few years of my childhood library visitation I think he was just a bad person to be working at a library Oh this is the white whale thread not the retro tech thread, poo poo, uhh I will quote the still unsolved white whales from my post earlier in the thread in case there are more people reading now, especially since still the only Goog hit for either of them is still this post: Dr. Quarex posted:[A] local college radio station was doing an automated summer session playlist on loop (this was summer 2004) and I kept hearing the same songs nobody seemed to recognize for a couple of months; two songs whose lyrics I am 99% sure are accurate, as I heard each of them playing several times and the vocals were fairly clear, but Googling those phrases still produces nothing 1[8] years later:

There was a video that kept poppin up in my recommended youtube list. Anime look, dark but saturated colours, some extreme perspective shots, most striking thing i remember is this butterfly/moth woman having a close up. I think it was a short video of no more than 2 minutes. I really want to see it again, anyone know what i'm talking about ?

I'm not sure if I've dreamt it or have been living in another dimension but recently I've been trying to remember a sci-fi book i possibly read a few years ago. Unfortunately i can't remember much of the plot except that it seemed to be set mainly in London during a war and everyone lived under a giant dome to protect them from bombs. At one point i remember there was a bit about a train leaving the dome to go to some secret bunker and bits describing how everyone lived from day to day but apart from that nothing! For some reason Stephen Baxter comes to mind but it doesn't seem to be any of his books. The only vaguely similar result i can find on the net is a suggestion that it's a Phillip k dick book but the plotline doesn't seem the same. Am I dreaming or going mad?
