Games you remember, names you don't
- Thread starter Protodude
- Start date
Let's see if someone knows the name of this game I played in Japanese as a kid and never was able of getting to far as I couldn't figure out how to save:
- SNES JRPG
- The beginning/nearly beginning is inside a dungeon/tower/temple
- There are priest/monks NPC at the entrance/in some safe rooms where you can replenish your HP drinking from what it seems to be a jar with holy water
- The members of your party follow you while walking, they use the previous tiles the leader steeped in
- An early boos was some kind snake, a half woman half snake chimera, maybe, I am not sure
No, it isn't FF 4, 5 or 6
I remember the starting dungeon being a building, a tower or temple, not a mine, it had about 3 floors, and there were priests at the entrance and at a resting room where you could heal drinking from those jars
It wasn't lufia either (the characters follow you while walking)
I wonder if I am making it up by mixing a lot of memories :p
Thanks for helping
While browsing Twitter earlier today I briefly saw a furry RPGMaker game having a store page on Steam with a message saying that its coming soon. It used to be Japan only as a game however its apparently receiving an English translation. However, Twitter did its weird thing where it removes tweets from your timeline when you try to click on them; can anyone help me find what this game was?
EDIT: Nvm I found it

Okay, for the life of me, I can't remember the name of this MMO I played 15 years ago.
It was a 2D MMO, I think Korean, and I remember a fire level, an ice level, and some cool mini-games you play against others. I've searched a bunch of lists but can't find the name and it is bugging me!

This is a weird one.
It's a C64 game, a side scroller. You're a guy that walks through a town, you can travel back and forth. Almost proto-GTA-like, you could say. I think the name was really long-winded, like four or five words maybe. I remember fences and a black/purple-ish color motif. That's it, that's all I remember lol.

Wasn't there a (free, I think?) sidescroller that takes place in a castle or something (it was purplish), with its own level editor on PC (Windows)? I completely forgot what it was called and I can't even find anything about it
Also, there was an educational game that had took place in a garden porch with some mini-games taking place similarly to Zoombinis. Most important thing I remember is that it featured a splash screen for the old Made with Macromedia (or Quicktime) logo, and it might've been a Sesame Street game.
Context: both games are around the 90s (and maybe early 2000s, before 2004)

Stab in the dark here but is it possibly Breath of Fire? Probably the first game and not the sequel.
Not a C64 game but there was one on the Spectrum called 'Contact Sam Cruise' that had you walking around a city trying to solve a murder.
Thanks but somehow I found it, remembered the word "days" might be somewhere in there.Not a C64 game but there was one on the Spectrum called 'Contact Sam Cruise' that had you walking around a city trying to solve a murder.
This was such an awful damn era for games.
Here's one that recently popped into my mind:
Either PS1 or PS2, a racing game where you drive mini cars (as in small), in a sort of over the top racing view/helicopter eye. I think there were like loads of cars per race, like 50 or so. Might have been RC car inspired.

No, it isn't Breath of Fire
I don't remember it being so colorful and with sprites so big, what I recall is closer to FF IV on art/technical achievement
Well, it wasn't as grim as the FF IV palette, but I would say it was less colorful than say FF V
Thanks
Maple Story is a 2D MMO, made by Nexon (a Korean publisher), so I would guess that's what you're looking for.
I'm assuming it wasn't Micro Machines? There was another game which was similar to this but I don't remember what it was called.
This is gonna be a hard one because it was a web game, like those flash games... it was about a pig? in a desert, I think he was a cowboy, or the setting was western-cowboyish. it was 8-bit, sidescroller, plataformer....
one thing I remember is that you could jump on light posts, like climb them... I was a little kid when I played it, I can't even remember the website. hope someone can help me!

I should have clarified that it isn't Maple Story or Ragnarok Online. It was a top-down game I believe, completely cartoonish. It was a ton of fun and I remember it was around the time of GunZ, I played the two together.
No, the characters were smaller and I don't remember all that text. But it's very close! Also, my friend who had the game did not own a Genesis.
There aren't that many candidates. SNES, JRPG, Japanese. If you look up a list and then YouTube each you will probably find it in no time.
I've played almost every SNES RPG in my days, but this one isn't ringing a bell.
I can't think of a whole lot of SNES RPGs that show your party members following behind you similar to Lufia, but with graphics on par with FF4.
I'll do some digging when I get home later today because this has my interest.
It could be a Japanese only release that I somehow can't remember offhand. Do you know what year you played it and if it was a new release at the time or not?
I have looked at list of best, worst, unknown, japan only and not found this game
That makes me think it could had been a bootleg
I got it as a gift about 1999-2000, it didn't have a box and the cartridge label was black with the title in white or gray/silver so it was either used or pirated, but regarding the game itself it think it was a legit production, it looked consistent and not some assets glued together
Doubt it's any of the SNES Dragon quest games since they are somewhat colorful.
Dragon quest 2 through 6 had party members follow you and were on SNES, maybe you had a fan translation cartridge?
Mystic Quest sorta fits the color pallette you mention but party members don't trail behind you.
Hmm interesting mystery. I'm at loss though if you have already checked lists... perhaps the scene(s) you remember are simply too hard to recall when watching quick summary clips. As gift in 1999-2000, that's way past last official release I believe.
It doesn't meet all the criteria mentioned but could it be Lagoon?
I had a look at longplays of those, MQ has a colour palette that could be it but the hub during battles doesn't look like what I remember, I don't think it's a DQ either, from 3 onwards it's too colourful and I don't think it's 1&2, the tiling of that one is too primitive and too colourful too
That's cerrtainly possible :p
No, I am certain it was turn based, not action RPGIt doesn't meet all the criteria mentioned but could it be Lagoon?
Thanks all for the help
And you don't remember something from lists such as this one?
Here is a helpful list I found, each game showing off two screenshots of both in and out of battle.
https://www.listal.com/list/snes-rpgs-paulojrmam
This lists seems focused on turn based ones.
i remember playing a game on pc conceptually similar to lemmings but on isometric point of view, you could give some brown-looking monsters various tools to make them perform specific tasks and reach the end of the level
all i remember was the line "i HATE pogosticks"
all i remember was the line "i HATE pogosticks"
I have been looking at games on both lists and had no luck
Well, through this search I discovered rudra no hihou that looks very good so it wasn't totally in vain :)
This game has always been so elusive, I bet if I ever find it it won't even be good :P

They mentioned it was Happiest Days of Your Life further up this page.
mmh, could be Gruntz https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5v57I_LbcAs (it's a great game btw)
oh sorry, both interesting games, the c64 was full of weird stuff
So I remember a friend recommended to me a very unique game but I don't remember the name.
I'm 80% sure it was a SNES game, and 90% sure it was never released outside Japan. The game had several different stories (8, I think), each one focused on a different character, and the thing is that, for each story the gameplay was completely different. Like, one path was a fighting game, the other was a RPG, there was another that was a platformer...
I remember the selection screen had the character portraits to choose from, kinda like MegaMan, and they were drawn in a cartoon/anime style.
It sounded like a very interesting game, but I can't remember what it was.

Arghh hopefully someone knows this.
I'm looking for a local co-op game, I think it's available on Switch. It's a Japanese indie game, has a very simple style. Every player controls a block or cube like character with cat features, and it's a side scrolling platformer where you have to overcome obstacles by stacking on top of each other so the player on top is high enough to jump and leap over a gap, that kinda stuff.
I believe someone made a thread about it on era recently but I've been searching for over an hour and can't find.
I got friends coming over tonight and was planning on playing this :(
