!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.

Our Rules:

1. Keep it civil.

Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.

2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.

I should not need to explain this one.

3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.

4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.

Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

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.

There's a few I remember which aren't on here. Nicktrolpolis is one of them. But it's consider all the other obscure games which did get preserved it's amazing.

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.
