I have the image of a C64 game in my head. It was a horror themed game, and the only thing specific I can remember was there was someone (or a creature) with like a scarecrow face, or like a burlap sack over their face.

Edutainment game from probably the late 90s, possibly as late as 2002. The thing I remember is a 2D multibody gravity simulation where you could place planets/meteoroids/maybe stars at certain speeds, and when they collide the bigger one absorbs the little one with no fanfare.

What was the art style like? Pixel, 3d? Realistic or cartoony? I have a few ideas but I want to try narrowing the search before I just start loading up every edutainment game in my collection. edit: Shot in the dark, but Super Planet Crash? The planets don't get smushed together but still, worth a shot. Pogonodon fucked around with this message at 05:19 on Sep 18, 2023 |

Artwise it looked most like JumpStart Adventures 6th Grade of the ones I've looked at, but I don't think that had a gravity simulator. The planets were fairly large on screen, and at least one kinda looked like a jpeg of Jupiter. It may have been set on a space station? The gravity simulator was only one part of it, there was more to the game than that, but that's the only part I remember.

That feeling when someone mentions a game and you remember not just the game but the exact TV you looked at and and the lovely bootleg Kool-Aid on the carpet.

hexwren posted:microsoft encarta had a gravity simulation as one of its edutainment toys I'd put my money on it being Encarta or something similar. There were a ton of edutainment toys in game and webpage form, and they're fairly poorly documented. I just found out Planet 10 existed at one point, for example. Always finding new things when I search for edutainment stuff. Love it  edit: Here's a blog I found with a picture of the orbit minigame in encarta. Looks like it's probably not what we're looking for, but wanted to make note of it. Pogonodon fucked around with this message at 18:06 on Sep 18, 2023 |

Yeah, I found an encarta 96 let's play (what a sentence) and that wasn't it, mine was definitely more cartoony. I don't think it was a website / flash game, that planet 10 thing looks more like it but I don't think that's it.

Trying to remember an old music game that showed sheet music and then sang a song to it. Most notable was that it had several renditions of Over the River and Through the Woods that it would play with different variations of each time. Kind of cartoony graphics I think with woodland animals?

I'm thinking of a Macromedia™ Shockwave® Flash™® game from the early 2000s. It was a 3D FPS set on a space station, which was a technically impressive accomplishment at the time.

That's not it, the sheet music actually showed up as sheet music IIRC, full bars and everything.

Hm. Did you have to do an unscrambling puzzle to play it, or was it just "Here's the sheet music, here's how it sounds"?

I remember that at least one of the renditions of the song was fall themed and the lyrics had "ants in our pants" which apparently aren't the actual lyrics.

The art style is also very similar to Seiken Densetsu 3, the second SNES Mana game. Or, y'know, Secret of Mana, the one everyone knows about.

It's gotta be Sword/1 GBA, both from the aspect ratio, the UI, and from that the blonde lady in Trials/3 was locked to spears.

This is the worst least descriptive memory I have but all I remember is sneaking through a semi demolished building. I remember you can either creep under some concert floors or there is another path you can take through a room. It was scifi-ish game with maybe bots that would patrol? The memory feels along the lines of maybe one of the Watch Dogs or Deus Ex games? I know it's not much to go on but it popped into my head while trying to fall asleep last night.

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided opens with a level set in Dubai. It's a hotel that was abandoned while it was still under construction, because of events in Human Revolution. I think there also is a sandstorm going on while you are inside.

I also suspect the game is Mankind Divided, but location wise the description sounds more like the Dvali Theater towards the end of the game, which is a run-down theater that both has bot guards and running around backstage/below the stage. Could be either though.

I remember reading an LP on here some years? ago that I suddenly want to read and actually finish. Ps1 jrpg I think? I think it was styled a bit like Final Fantasy Tactics. Had an alcoholic dog man as a party member. Yeah that's all I got. Shockingly, it's hard to Google!  plus there's roughly 198 billion jrpgs and oh god sorting is a nightmare
