T-Rex Warrior for the Commodore Amiga.
Was probably my first introduction to 3D gaming, and because it was a hand-me-down I didn’t have any instructions on how to play it. It literally took my months to figure out how to move in that game, so in the meantime I just stood in place and spin around shooting at enemies until I died.
What was that one where you were a stationary turret shooting at UFOs flying in? At some point the turret upgrades to a helicopter. I remember playing that on win 98 or something.
Yes! This is it lol
I’m still looking for a mobile game where I played as a necromancer in a castle fighting off the stickman armies of king Otto through spells and by flicking them into the air. It culminated with the necromancer standing upon a pile of corpses topped by the king himself. I really liked that game but it honestly could be lost media.
Doesn’t quite check those boxes, but it definitely sounds like a game that was based on Defend Your Castle, from back in the days of Flash games.
I think you are right, that mechanic is very similar
Could it be Stickwars?
Holy shit it is thank you wth
Not compatable with my phone 😔😔😔 emulator time
For Op: is it this?


Fucking loved this game, played the crap out of it.
The SNES version was superior to the PC one. There were a few weird changes to how you could command the hive that worked better in the SNES one.
The large scale colony land ownership system was just crazy, though. Each time would devolve into full 300 to zero for colonies and it was tough to grind control back one way or another.
Underrated.
Worse when it’s a flash game, as I understand they’re all dead now.
I just want to play the unknown snowboarding game with all the little hills to jump on again. Well that and the ever classic Kitten Cannon.
this, there was a flash game where you are an evil genius. you have a base which you can later upgrade to a volcano or a moon base. you send agents to kidnap politicians or other villanous schemes. there were segments where your base was attacked and you had to use your resources to defend it.
overall an amazing game. never found it again :(
I’ll have to check the details but, could that be Mastermind: World Conqueror? It’s still on newgrounds
YOU FOUND IT!!! THANKS, SO MUCH
tried search engines, tried AI, and nothing worked. but you did, you proven yourself better than the trillion AI investments.
Worse when it’s a flash game, as I understand they’re all dead now.
You can still play every flash game ever through the Flashpoint Archive
Gonna try this but one of the games I really liked was actually delisted from popular flash sites back in the day and I forgot the name because it was a fictional fantasy single word title.
Lost it long before flash died, and I can only assume it was because the creator had requested a takedown which is really weird.
Dude awesome thanks! Looks like running it on linux is a whole thing but doable, now I just neef to find out what the game was.
Try r/tipofmyjoystick on Reddit. This is one case where a larger audience definitely helps.
Try describing it to AI. From my experience, AI chats are pretty good in finding games, movies etc based on poor description, just ask for short list of game names so it will not write you essay about how old games are better. You can also describe it here
But be ready for disappointment, because at least ChatGPT is bad with obscure media, and even makes stuff up regularly.
a few months ago on a nostalgia trip I found a playable kitten cannon, I don’t remember where. I think I was looking up new grounds or addicting games and found the website through a Wikipedia link.
Flash is actually coming back to life via WebAssembly of all things.
Emulating Flash in HTML tech wasn’t a problem for a long time already, but from what I can tell there are no tools for creating such animation that could rival Flash’s popularity from back in the day. People are probably just using dedicated game engines that can target browsers.
No you can literally run Flash games on your browser again, thanks to ruffle.rs
Took me two decades to find the game [Dominus]. Nothing worse than having the name of something on the tip of your tongue for that long. Used to play this game a lot when I was young, it’s not very good but it was a core memory. I cried a bit when I figured it out.
Terror tubbies personally

Therapist: “The terror tubbies aren’t real, they can’t hurt you.” The terror tubbies:
The legend of Kyrandia or something
I remember the sound effects and one level… but not the name. Classic.
I used to have this symbian game that had a small dragon as the main character and accidentally deleted it from the phone it was on. Never found it again :(
Old computer game, never have been able to remember the name. It was a sci-fi setting. I distinctly remember taking a ship of some sort and attacking multiple-legged walkers. I don’t think it was a Star Wars game. You didn’t just control the aerial vehicles as there were also grounds vehicles. You could change out weapons on the vehicle before the mission. There’s a line that has stuck with me though: “You’re replaceable, the (ship thing) isn’t”. I remember it coming in a PC game subscription service from the mid 90’s. I think the service was called SOMC or something along those lines. It’s where I also learned of SWARM and 7 Kingdoms. I still have yet to this day been able to find that sci-fi game, or even the subscription service (or evidence of its existence) again.
Could it be Earthsiege 2 by any chance?
Jesus fucking Christ is been 30 years! I think you found it! You fucking legend!
Happy to help, hope your Christmas became as good as it was 30 years ago ☺️
I grew up playing a very specific Minecraft trial world. You spawn on a beach with a single tree. Immediately inland was a large plains biome, but about 100 blocks to the side was an oak forest. In there (still visible from spawn), was a single large hill with a small cave in it which poked though it and made for a good base.
I am rather confident it was a Minecraft trial edition world. I believe I reset that map several times over before discovering how to make the trial last forever. However the trial seed on the wiki does not match for any game version. (It does match a different world I remember playing at least.)
I’ve probably spent about 10 hours over the last couple years periodically going on the hunt for it, and at this point I’ll give out a small bounty for information.
what platform? pc/ console?
I know pcgamer had a demo on pc but not sure if that sounds like your description
It was PC. I’ve tried the PC gamer demo and the “North Carolina” seed for all probable game versions (1.3 to 1.6), and the base world generation just doesn’t match. There is a hill nearby which could be close, but the biomes are all wrong.
There is a chance, albeit not very high, that it was a cracked version of the game using a seed I simply forgot with time, but it would be quite difficult to brute force that since I would then need to figure out both the version and seed. Given I am fairly certain I generated the same world a few times, it’s possible I might be able to guess it.
It turned out that star wars supremacy which I had long since lost the disc for was digitally released as rebellion.
Arseholes
It was only called Supremacy in the UK. I played Rebellion back in the late 90s
I remember years ago I went looking for a game I used to play as a child where you start at a manhole cover and open it to reveal a beanstalk.
The game was called “the manhole”
I learned a lot about the internet that day.
🤣
For more engagement: a Doom reskin where you shot balloons at some (to child me) scary af toys that came alive and were ornery. Windows 3.1/DOS era, was part of a shareware collection.
Bad Toys?
Edit: You know what I don’t think this was what I’m thinking about BUT I did play this and may be mixing the memory with another shooter in the same collection.
Chex Quest? I remember the cereal had a Doom reskin and it scared me too much. I feel like if they had just changed the worldspace default color from black to white it would’ve been less scary.
