The game starts out with a prologue that takes place some time before the games beginning. You see the resurrection of this Monster or Demon in which four heroes try to take him down before losing against him and then you start the game in this town until. I believe (kinda hard to remember) the town gets burnt down and afterwards you must begin your journey. The art style of the game is very reminiscent of Squaresoft style JRPGs of the early to mid 90s.
Hi there! So my sister and I are talking about this game we used to play when we were younger and we cant remember the name! We played it so much and its at the tips of our tongue! It was a game from the late 2000s early 2010s in which you could design your own apparel (dresses, backpacks, t-shirts, ect), and you could buy them too! The website design was pretty simple and was its own website, not a game on a game website. The color scheme, we think, was purple and white and the models who tried on the clothes were 2D (paper-like we think), and we remember one of them having white skin and brown hair and a ponytail. We have been researching for almost an hour and are on the verge of insanity! If youd know what the name is please lmk because its so frustrating to not know what its called especially because it was a huge part in our lives :) (edit: We know it wasnt girlsense or stardoll- there was zero social aspect of the game)
Okay, so this was a Flash fighting game from early 2000s (think 2003-2007). The character you were controlling was a guy with white spiky hair that looked like from an anime or manga of sorts, with a yellow coat or jacket that had a collar high enough to cover his mouth, like certain Naruto characters. The gameplay felt similar to games like Dad N' Me, where clearing a section of your screen had you go to the right for the next wave/round of enemies/boss. You also had some form of weaponry accessible, like one/two-handed items and throwables (grenades? dynamite sticks?). One of the bosses in the game was a mutant tank thingy that was really hard until you looked up exploitables on YouTube.
When you say 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, people have very specific notions of what those decades were like in terms of pop culture, fashion, music, movies, technology, etc.
But the 2000s for some reason, no one seems to care about. The decade almost never gets referenced and doesn't seem to have a distinct culture, in fact not all that much seems to have changed since then. The 2010s are even less notable, I don't think I've even heard "2010s" being said out loud, seems like people will care about the decade even less than they do about the 2000s.
Hi I'm looking for an old game me and my mom used to play when I was little. It was a 2D point and click game with bird-eye view of a backstage room with different stations. I think those included make-up, hairdresser, nails, clothing machine that picked different dress colors, a coffee machine that kept the models happy and a shower.
I might be forgetting some of them but anyway after you did everything the model asked, you'd put them through the runway door and start working on the next one. Kinda like that penguin diner game except with models with more demands. The level would end after all the models had been taken care of and you'd move to the next one with possibly even more stations and the pace of the models progressively gets faster and faster.
The style of the game was very simple, they were just small slim sprites of models, can't remember exactly but it wasn't pixel-y like rpg games but more smooth and colored with 2D graphics. Very simple and kinda cute. the models weren't very detailed (I think) You could make out a small face, their body/dress/hair colours and that was about it. They weren't too animated either. The room itself I think changed colors depending on the level from pink to yellow, green and blue. The models would also make some sassy noises if they were unhappy I think, it's been a very long time :,) The bgm was also just a loop of some fashion-y type of music but I've completely forgotten what it sounded like.
I vaguely recall it being on king dot com at some point when they still had fun minigames but it must've gotten deleted at some point. might've been even before flash went down. Newgrounds has it's own player that allows you to play flash games so I was wondering if same could be done with this one if I could just remember the name..
Hopefully I'm not the only one who remembers this. I've checked out every old flashgame site I used to frequent as a kid but none of them seem to have it and google's not doing much either. I can't remember for sure but I think the name was like backstage or fashion model or something along those lines.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Mid 2000s fashion was worse than the late 90s fashion, every single woman wore black tank tops and straight light jeans, with hair absolutely demolished by the hair straightener because everyone had to have the same long straight hair
And dudes were copying whatever boy band was in vogue
Hopefully this means cybergoths are making a comeback too to counteract it
The memory of this toy just came back to me after seeing a video of a fashion toy, but no amount of googling has given me an answer. Please help! The childhood nostalgia is driving me crazy!
Platform(s): Browser
Genre: Fashion
Estimated year of release: 2005 - 2008ish
Graphics/art style: 2d animation, but not too cartoony
Notable characters: There are no traditional characters. You the player create a avatar and run an online storefront of clothes you create
Notable gameplay mechanics: Running an online storefront of clothes you create in the game. You could also edit the way your storefront looked by changing out the carpet, dressing mannequins with your clothes, and creating your own store name.
Other details: This was a game I played online in the early 2000s that I have not been able to (for the life of me) track down and find the name of. It was a game where you created an avatar for yourself to identify your shop and your clothes that you create.
You could choose fabrics, drag and drop items to the clothes like letters or bling or patches and sell them all in an online store where other players could "purchase" your clothes and wear them. I'm sure I'm missing some of the finer details, as I played this while I was in middle school, but I was obsessed with the game.
A lot of players were extremely creative with how they designed their shop and how they used assets in the game to create the illusion of items that didn't exist in the traditional in game assets. I'd love to know what this game was called!
I read this around 2012-2014 in my middle school library. The girls were about 13 or 14, and the fashion designer genius is around 11 or 12. They go to a marketplace and see the fashion designer selling beautiful flowy skirts that reminds them of flower petals. The teen celebrity friend is a little chubby and insecure with her body, and the flower skirt makes her feel better. I think the teen celebrity friend has a mean overly critical parent who nags her on her weight. The fashion designing kid is able to put on fashion show displaying her designs due to the teen celebrity friend's connections.
It wasn't exactly 'scene' fashion, it was a little less edgy-angsty, but it had some elements of it. A common theme of the fashion trend was sillybandz, skinnyjeans, those poofy rainbow tu-tus, skirts over jeans, hats and 'random' humor. Layered tank tops and jackets with brightly colored patterns, one I remember in particular is a white jacket with bright pink and blue and yellow paint splatter. I've found terms like y2kcore and I've tried searching with keywords and stuff but I can't really find what I'm looking for.
It was often very rainbow, and I think suspenders was a part of it once. I need a concrete 'name' of the fashion, or at least something I can search to bring up what I mean? Thanks!
edit: also those fuzzy hats that had long sides where you can put your hands in the pockets? Usually animal themed. It seems like scene, and maybe hipster, but when i look this stuff up it isn't coming up with any of the outfits that were... kind of almost all exactly the same.
I'm sure most of us cringe looking back at our old photos or Ashley Tisdale / Miley Cyrus on the red carpet wearing skirts/dresses over jeans and think why...?
So I'm wondering what was happening in the fashion industry and in the world to influence this trend, especially given how unconventional (to put it nicely) it seems. Was this a trend in the 80s that resurfaced? A pre-2008 recession take on maximalism? A way for teens to try out different styles in a modest way? (Like the t-shirt under tank top trend) Maybe something influenced by gender norms of the time?
Platform(s): PC
Genre: I guess dress up/mystery? Games for young girls?
Estimated year of release: Early 2000s. Potentially into 2010s, but definitely not as far as 2012 or 2013, and it should have been after 2000. (I know that's a big range, and I'm sorry. I played it as a kid so I'm largely going off the years it made sense for me to be able to play it.)
Graphics/art style: It was a third-person game. Stylistically, sort of similar to the Sims, with 3D modeled characters walking around different locations on-screen. (If I'm remembering correctly there was even a circle of bubbles with different social options that would pop up when you clicked on someone.)
Notable characters: The main character was a professionally dressed young woman with dark hair, I'm pretty sure. You could talk to the son of the woman that ran the makeup company you were working for.
Notable gameplay mechanics: One of the most notable ones is that I remember there being is that while much of the game was the walking around and finding secrets, you also had to do your character's job as a stylist, and go into a room where you'd get people ready for various events with the makeup (and maybe clothes?) from the company. I believe you had to actively paint the lipstick onto the model's mouth, which was hard for me as a kid.
Other details: I remember specific locations: you could sneak into the boss's office for information, which was down at the very end of the hallway where most of the workplace sequences happened. You could also sneak into the secret animal testing laboratory. There was an outdoor pool where I think a member of the owner's family was sunning themselves, and a big room right before that where you could usually find the owner's son. It MIGHT have been funded partially or endorsed by an anti-animal testing group?
Thank you! I would love to find this: I've done googling on my own to no avail, and no one else seems to have heard of it, except for a friend I had when I was younger who vaguely remembers playing it with me on my family's living room computer. I remember it SO vividly, but having no one else seem to know what I'm talking about has made me feel a little crazy!
