This is me with SHMUPS. Oh, sure, I can find databases of the ones that were popular, but in the early to late 2000s there were so many PC SHMUPS with mouse controls that came on demo CDs or you could get from the front page of any demo shareware website…
Now all forgotten.
Some of them I used to play a lot and want to play again, but can’t for the life of me find back.
I had to try and find it for the sake of this meme! I thought it was a PS1 game all these years, just found it.
Buck Bumble. An N64 game I played when I was a kid, flew around as a bee and shot down other bugs. Its was a good time, glad I was inspired to try and find it’s name again!
If you aren’t having fun with it, sure. I was expecting the comments to be people arguing with how you have fun (using the dev console), but fortunately that’s not the case.
If you want a dark game with puzzle style combat and bosses, I can’t recommend a plague tale enough. Innocence is the first one, Requiem is the second one.
I believe I have tried it. Until the first boss, where I was forced to run around him and try to dismantle his armour piece by piece with a sling and stones. Of course he caught me while having the last piece of armour on. Uninstalled and never even considered giving it a second chance.
I hated black myth wukong and elden ring boss fights, so punishing games really aren’t for me. I finished both plague tale games, though. I usually lower the difficulty quite a bit just to enjoy the story, so maybe the defaults are harder than what I experienced.
Edit: I’m pretty sure the game was “Super Solvers: Gizmos & Gadgets!” and I was remembering the intro/home screen!
I used to play this edutainment title in the early 90s. All i can remember is cartoonish art, a professor or scientist or something and you had to solve puzzles by building machines i think?
The game I remember had a top down view, and looked more modern than that. It might have been a late DOS game but our computer at that time ran windows 3.1 on top so it could have been an early windows game too.

Theres a shitty flash game i spent years playing that ill never find again. Top down worms game very similar to vampire survivors in gameplay, only many years before it.
I’ve played on one of the fan servers and it was fine. if XIV has burned you out, and honestly I don’t blame you, not sure you’re going to find what you’re looking for in XI.
remember XI is a pre-WoW mmo so that means it’s quite difficult when compared to modern MMOs and plays like other MMOs of the day i.e. Everquest, Anarchy Online, Ultima, etc.
You’re not going to find as many new players and other players are going to be literally years/decades ahead of you. I’d suggest you try one of the fan servers first to see if you like it before spending money on the actual servers/game.
I did play for a bit in HorizonXI and liked it, but couldn’t find many players around (which made it even grindier than it should be), which is why I was wondering about retail.
I don’t mind the difficulty, that’s kinda why I’m tired of FFXIV. Outside of the endgame “high-end” trials/raids, I find its gameplay a bit too easy to the point of being boring. The jobs in XI also look more interesting and varied, instead of FFXIV’s that feel too samey.
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.
