For me it was a horror game on the Nintendo DS.
Half of it was more of a walking simulator where you would run away from ghosts and the other (more notable) half had you playing an NES-style adventure game similar to Zelda, except a bunch of creepypasta-esque events would occur like in-game, such as characters dying with realistic blood effects. The "game" and "real world" would also interact and effect each other's stories.

Bumping for OP
I played some early 2000's point and click game where some dude is wandering a nuclear wasteland looking for other humans but he eventually finds an empty bunker with a note confirming he was the last man alive. Rose something I think it was called?
That's Nanashi No Game. I watched a stream of some Zig Forums guy play it. Screams and laughs were had.
Was it Nanashi no Game aka The Nameless Game? I remember starting it and thinking it was cool as fuck, but I didn't get very far.

That is indeed it. I remember downloading it alongside dozens and dozens of random games when I discovered piracy by buying an R4 over a decade ago, and it just popped up into my memory.
I was guessing "The Lost Game" but that didn't give any results.
What was that one with the little yellow alien with the raygun?
Hard Mode:
PC game released sometime after 95 but before 2009 for kids.
You had to go around solving various puzzles in different locations which would award you gems to use in a much larger puzzle. May or may not have had a cartoony aesthetic.

Kids truck/construction game on PC
Late 90s, Early 2000s release date.
All I remember is that you could pilot your vehicle about an isometric area and there was a cat walking around. If you tried running over the cat it would meow at you.
Sorry it's not a lot to go off of, Zig Forums.
I played these games when I was really young and I just want to end my quest after all these years.
Alien Hominid. Was a newgrounds.com flash game, got ported to various systems (including GBA)
Alien Hominid?
Oh yeah. Thanks, lads.
I remember watching my brother fighting a giant skeleton boss thatn crawled on all fours on the N64. He just started the game that day as well so it was early on in the game. Thought it looked pretty neat next day I asked if I could play but he said he took it back to his friends house cus he didn't like it and doesn't remember the name, just picked games based on the cover. Always wondered what that game was
It's times like this that I wish I knew moon runes. Never heard of this game before but it sounds great, too bad it's Japan only.
The game has an english patch
That play station game where you invaded people's dreams. It was isometric I think?
There's this old low-res United Nations game in which you defuse mines and feed african villages rice so that they can grow and self-sustain. Anyone ever played it? Cant find it anywhere.
Posted this like 3 times, never got an answer.
1) 99% was a ps2/og xbox port on pc. I only played 1st level/tutorial. It was some kind of underground jail(?) under monastery(?). You had a staff or a spear and fought skeletons to unlock doors. At one point one skeleton either had life drain magic or you had to use life drain magic on him. It had really dark main menu, lije that monastery at night.
2) I think it was some kind of an adventure or a quest. You lived in some kind of a village in a not realistic world. Either village was attacked or you had to be sacrificed. You are waking up in a some kind of a cauldron with people around cheering for your soon death. You had to talk with other people in cauldrons(iirc you was in a middle one out of 3) then combine some items, cause commotion and escape, probably on some kind of a magic flying bus.
I played both those games roughly between 2004 and 2008.
Castlevania
at this point it might be a little too vague, but I remember this one ps2 game where I think it was a platformer and you played as this blue furry or character, there was a sumo wrestling part of the game early on i think.
wew awesome I feel dumb tho that seemed very obvious looking at it now. Thanks user beginning to emulate as I type this
>At one point one skeleton either had life drain magic or you had to use life drain magic on him.
I'm guessing the former. How would life drain magic work on a skeleton?
There was a mech game for the PS1 that had 2-player versus combat. Unfortunately that's all I can remember from it.
Armored Core?
Feel the Magic for DS.
It wasn't called that here in the UK, but I can't fucking remember the name.
Gonna be the most vague explanation ever, but there was an adventure game I mostly watched my cousins play when I was really little that had classes and characters similar to Morrowind but I believe the game was more of a linear RPG.
Probably could be half a dozen things but I just thought about it.
A game on NES that was kind of like Castlevania visually. It was also kind of like a beat-em-up in that when an enemy appeared the screen froze and you had to kill them to progress.
You played as a knight in armor who make a "hyuh" sound if you used his sword.
The first level was a dark forest where you fight skeletons and wolves, and the boss was a wizard.
Second level was some sort of castle town with zombie torsos crawling around and eyeballs. It terrified me. Boss was a silver knight and hard as fuck to beat.
I remember it also having a pretty cool soundtrack.
Not sure if it was nintendo console or some arcade machine game, but it was pixel and quite old. It was a side scrolling platformer where you played (not 100% sure if I am right) one of multiple choice characters like Golden Axe (not 100% sure if it had depth movement or left-right only with jumping). At some stages you got new powers but later on a bad guy showed up and stole it multiple times (not 100% sure but I remember that he disappeared into a portal under his feet). I also might be mistaking it with another game, but probably it had segments where you were attacked from multiple directions and it was pseudo first person.
Not NES I don't think but this sounds kind of like Act Raiser.
Nah it wasn't that and definitely on NES.
Old (late 90s) PC game about pirates where you first build a crew (maybe) and buy resources (like rum, cannonballs, hull patches) then set sail and fight other pirate ships which was done by clicking on the enemy pictures that pop up. I played it at school
Realy obscure n64 game.
You're a little black kid with a red baseball cap driving around in a little open top clown car collecting helium balloons from some flying paki. Help me out, boys.
Rub rabbits, something like that.
