Genres:
Welcome back. This part of the series will be primarily focusing on genres. So far I have [RTS, Turn based RPG, Action RPG, Board Game, Arcade Game, third person shooter, MMO, Action, 4X (Civilization-like), 3D Platformer, Roguelike, Dungeon Crawler, Card Game, Point and click, Indie, Text dungeon, Stealth, Rhythm, Horror, Metroidvania, Survival, Sandbox, City Builder, Adventure, Simulation, Puzzle, Bullet Hell, Fighting, MOBA, Real Time Tactics, Visual Novel, Racing, Tower Defense, Sports, Idle, Trivia, and Casual] as available genres. Let me know if I missed something, and I will try to get it added.
This is eventually all going to get compiled into one megathread for people who want gaming recommendations from Chapos specifically. Other consoles and genres will come in sporadic subsequent threads. Please contribute to previous threads if you missed them. This is meant to be an exhaustive list.
Expanding on your choice(s) is definitely a plus. Not everyone knows about or has played non-mainstream titles.
Personal bests:
Runescape (Java, but same thing)
Line Rider
I forgot about fancy pants! That shit was my jam in high school! I think it was the 2nd one where you could get different colors of pants by playing golf with snail shells? Of course I got them all. Good times.
for my money? it's gotta be those Armor Games games with the elephants. This is the only Level, Achievement Unlocked, Loot: The Game, Elephant Quest; all of these were cornerstones in 200s/2010s flash games, and they were all at an insane amount of polish for games that last between 30 minutes and an hour (although Achievement Unlocked 3 was long enough to be sold for ten bucks on steam tbh). I hope JMBT02 and all those guys continue to put stuff out.
I had forgotten about Realm of the Mad God. I think that was my first Perma-Death game. N is great too.
In the puzzle-platform genre, I really liked the Shift and Phantom Mansion series
In the Shift games, the character navigates a roughly square level, all in black and white. Pressing the shift key makes the board turn around and the character change color and pass through the floor. Obstacles become empty space and empty space becomes obstacles.
Phantom Mansion is a series of games with puzzle levels involving gathering items, pushing boxes around, pressing buttons, and getting to the exit. Each entry in the series has its own set of gimmicks unique to that game, and they all come back in the final entry, The Black Sanctum.
Treasure Seas Incorporated is also fun, if you can get around the whole "white people raiding the Caribbean for treasures" thing
Get Flashpoint if you want to play flash games now that Adobe Flash got shitcanned
I haven't played a lot of flash games but out of the ones I have the OG binding of isaac was by far the best. I played that game so much when I was in school to pass the time.
There are literally so fucking many
My pick is Siegius though, by far the highest form of the flash tactics format, awesome bloody music. Also Stick War was pretty sick, in the same vein but prolly not as good overall
Raze & Strike Force Heroes are extremely good platform-shooters-->series' I'm just realizing came from the same guy who did Siegius lmao
Dragonfable was great as a kid, and is still getting updates IIRC. Shopping Cart Hero and Hedgehog Launch are classics. And of course the whole Bloons Tower Defense series must be mentioned, if only for the countless hours I whiled away on its various installments in school computer labs.
At school a game with two stickfigures getting into a very dramatic fight was popular. I don’t remember the gameplay being very deep at all but as you progressed through the fight you got more powerful. I think the only reason it was popular was because there was a crazy ultra move that you could spam near the end of the fight.
https://stickfightgame.net/ maybe?
that last one was called Corporation Inc. i think, remember playing it on ArmorGames a bunch
Personal fave (although haven’t played it since like 2003): Emo Game
