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.
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.
A round based strategy game with a hex based grid I think there where generic military units like warships u boots pioneers infantry trucks helicopter destroyers. It had a very rudementry 8 bit graphic and it is not Panther panic
If the game wasn’t on DOS or Windows, the choice is smaller, but alas I don’t see a list on Wikipedia with platforms. MobyGames might have it. Alternatively, I had a script somewhere that pulled the platform and other info from all pages in a category, but not sure currently where it is.
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 can’t remember if it was C-64 or DOS, but there was a sidescroll game where your character was on a quest in a forest where there were tree houses. They were called the “Grund” or something. Can’t find it anywhere.
Edit: I may have found it: “Below The Root” Gotta see if I can find it abandonware somewhere and try it again.
Brave Fencer Musashi for me. Played that game so many times through what I remember as the first boss, then didn’t figure out how to progress when the world opened up
This is a weird one. I’ve been looking for a game for years and I’ve had no luck. My uncle took me on one of his drug deals, as he did very often and I played someone’s ps1 or ps2 while they got high. All I know about this RPG/JRPG I played is there were summons and I can vividly remember the 2d world map. There was a mine/tunnel area and some kind of grand library or mansion area. I’ve been looking for this game for 20 years now with no luck. If I see the world map I’ll recognize it instantly. So many of the RPGs of that time had sprawling world maps, but this was very confined. One screen with very obvious images for each area. I would be eternally grateful if anyone could help me find this game.
Edit: The mine/tunnel area was in the middle/bottom of the world map and the grand library or mansion area was towards the top right if I remember correctly.
You could try looking for a ‘compilation of PS1 jrpgs’ video on YouTube, showing gameplay of each game for half a minute. This could jostle the memory. And the same with ps2, if that doesn’t work. However, afaiu there were a lot of jrpg games, so idk if anyone’s made a comprehensive video.
That’s a good idea. I found one video that covers over 420 JRPGs on PS1. I wish they did a list of world maps because that’s the best way I’d recognize it.
Unfortunately no, it was a much brighter game. The main thing I remember about it was the world map. The map was colorful and had images for the ecosystems or locations. That is a good game though.
I don’t think so based on what I found online. The main thing I remember about it was the world map. The map was colorful and had images for the ecosystems or locations. It had summons and I could be wrong, but maybe only the summons battled enemies. I could be way off on that last part though.

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.

Surprised I haven’t seen Hell Pie here yet. Pretty solid physics and fun mechanics. The humor is a bit crude and sometimes kinda edge-lord l, but the game play is solid.
Ruffy and the Riverside. Really interesting concept with editing terrain and your environment.
Gex Trilogy is pretty good if you’re into old-school platformers. It aged better than I thought.
Megabonk is basically 3D vampire survivors, and that rules.
A very simple space sim that was just sitting in a folder that was either part of windows or one of my installed games, presumably an Easter egg for those just perusing the files. Maybe late nineties?
Like, the simplest starfield and cockpit and you just used the mouse to shoot lasers at stuff.
All of the sound files (only maybe a dozen sound effects at most) were in .wav format so I used the crappy mic I had at the time and recorded new sounds just with my mouth. Had a blast playing my “modded” version.
Haven’t figured out what it was/what “real” software it came with.
