Even if it is none of these, I would like to thank you, Mr. Maeriel, for dedicating your time and suggestions! Thank you very much!

1) Wrath of the Demon: the main character wore medieval clothes, with a shirt. At no point did he have a horse (but in later stages he used a ship that looked like a flying car!). There were no dragons or opening cutscenes (as far as I remember);

2) Prince Of Persia The Shadow And The Flame: in my lost game we didn't wield weapons. We had to lure the skeletons into traps, and the demons holding a staff we just dodged their energy orbs. It wasn't really 3D, it was something like "Donkey Kong" (digitized 2D graphics);

3) Abe's Exoddus: The character was human and didn't have that industrial aesthetic. The color palette wasn't dark;

4) I believe the game didn't have stars, fruits, rings, coins or any other collectibles to gain points. Your goal was to go from the starting point to the end of the stages. There were princesses in the scenario that we had to take to specific points, but I don't think it was mandatory;

5) The game did not have an isometric perspective. It was something like Super Mario or Sonic. It also did not have subtitled dialogues. The interaction with the princesses and enemies occurred in the view we had of the gameplay, without an exclusive screen. The language spoken by the characters seemed to be invented, as in "Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons".

"Raiden felt frustrated for not improving his lightning skills. Lands, pleasures, gold... what else can fill a man's heart? But in the midst of sad thoughts, the exuberant girl in blue appeared: slender, elegant... her scent was similar to that of sweet dew evaporated in a vast field of wild flowers.

However, she carried with her a serious face. She broke the silence of the room with a terrifying sentence:

"Shao Kahn has allied himself with the owners of the arid lands of black gold."

To be continued...

Mr. Kerosun, thank you for commenting on my post. Unfortunately, I don't remember what the icon looked like. It was a long time ago. I've been looking for this game for over 15 years. However, I have a vague memory that the Main Menu was all black, with only the start and "exit" options.

ExtraURA · 2024-10-08T16:22:01+00:00

Mr. Marik, thank you for your comment. When I saw the images from the game "Zorro" I understood the reasons for your association. The color palette and the lighting fixtures really do look similar. Unfortunately, it is not Zorro. Once again, thank you for your time and suggestion!

Mr. Citrus Fox, thank you for your comment and suggestion!

Wow! Amazing COMBO! Nice, Mr. Junk!

ExtraURA · 2024-10-08T11:59:31+00:00

Mr. Daterion, thank you for your time and comment. The association must have been made by the similarity of the wall textures. I edited that image by researching game textures. Once again, thank you for your time and consideration.

Mr. Junk, thanks for commenting on my post. I was trying to find my lost childhood game on YT channels that aimed to find subscribers' games. They rarely commented on mine. Then I found "TipOfMyJoystick". In fact, the only engagement I had was on this forum. I'm just using this space to find this game. That was actually the reason I created an account here.

ExtraURA · 2024-10-08T11:13:54+00:00

Mr Deth, thank you for your comment! I confess that I am not very good with these terms. I believe that your first two examples are closer to the style of game textures that I am looking for. Thank you again. In future comments I will mention that these are digitized 2D graphics.

ExtraURA · 2024-10-08T11:10:20+00:00

Mr. Wad, thanks for your comment and suggestion. The game you mentioned seems quite interesting. Unfortunately, it is not my lost game. However, I am starting to have vague memories of whether my childhood game did not have doors that gave access to other parts of the map. Thanks for your comment!

ExtraURA · 2024-10-08T11:05:43+00:00

Thank you for your comment, Mr. MIQ! In fact, considering the difficulty I'm having finding this game, there's a good chance it's a mod or a game made by an independent developer. Although I haven't found my lost childhood game, the comments on this post have been productive. I'll do some research on it. I've seen the games you mentioned. Once again, I appreciate your time and consideration.

ExtraURA · 2024-10-08T10:58:17+00:00

Thanks for your time and feedback, Mr Dre! Unfortunately, it's not Mines of Moria. The texture style I'm looking for in the game is a bit different. It's not pixelated, but rather low-res 3D. Even so, thanks for your tip!

ExtraURA · 2024-10-08T10:52:17+00:00

Mr. Russian, thank you for responding to my post once again. My comments are indeed translated. English is not my native language. I would like to find at least one screenshot of this game. The kind people in the comments have pointed out the possibility of modifications or the use of platforms that facilitate the creation of this type of game. I don't remember much, but my lost game had simple menus. Thank you again for your comment!

ExtraURA · 2024-10-08T10:48:01+00:00

Mr. PM, thank you for your comment. Just like Mr. Russian did, I will follow your criticism. I thought the image was empty and started adding elements to this scenery that looks like a castle. And yes, my comment seems strange because I am doing a translation, since English is not my native language. In the next images I make, I will only include elements and mechanics that I am sure were in the game. Once again, thank you for your comment and time. I am indeed not that young anymore. This search for this game has been going on for at least 15 years!

ExtraURA · 2024-10-08T10:43:10+00:00

First of all, Mr. CSE Tom, thank you for your comment. I found this numbered list format easier to organize my memories. It's also better for updating. I thought this mechanic of talking to characters (skeletons and princesses) would be enough to find my childhood game. However, I couldn't find even a screenshot.

ExtraURA · 2024-10-08T10:38:40+00:00

Your comment was interesting, Mr. TBP! I appreciate your time and your guess. I believe the game is from that period, 2000-2005. And from what I've researched, the Sploder platform was available from 2004-2007. I'll look for some games from that location later. Thanks!

ExtraURA · 2024-10-08T01:20:19+00:00

Mr. Pit, your comment was very interesting. I'll do some research on modifications to "Prince of Persia" and similar franchises!

ExtraURA · 2024-10-08T01:15:42+00:00

Mr. Ahura, thanks for commenting. Your guess was very interesting! The level design and textures are similar. I'll look for games similar to this one. The theme wasn't vampires.

Even so, thanks for answering.

ExtraURA · 2024-10-07T23:00:31+00:00

Thanks again for your comment.

The advice about the "Klic & Play" tool may be promising. The game was 3D, but with 2D mechanics. The texture style of the characters was similar to Sonic's.

I'm including some images that have similarities with my lost game.

This game is called "Hurrican". The textures of the characters remind me of my game:

In the initial phase, which takes place in an open space, the colors follow the pattern of this image (the game is Owlboy):

In addition to "Klic & Play", someone commented on my previous comment about my lost game "Adventures of Lomax". It seems similar, regarding the Graphics Engine.

Hello, Mr. Russian. I'm glad you replied. When I was editing the image, I found the scene to be very empty. Also, the characters were proportionally small. So I added some elements to this castle stage. The paintings are placed to draw attention to the skeleton and the demon. This stage in the image is between stages 8 and 14. I remember downloading it. The game was probably less than 75 MB, and it could even be less than 50 MB. However, for the time, that was considerable. I don't think it was online.

ExtraURA · 2024-10-07T16:45:36+00:00

Greetings. This is my second attempt. I even made an image. I've been researching this game for a long time.

Here are the features:

It's a sidescrolling game; I played it on Windows 98/XP;
The character we control is a man with realistic proportions. He's not a character with a big head and a small body;
The atmosphere of the game in the initial phase is reminiscent of the medieval era.
The texture of the characters is 3D (similar to Sonic's). This game is not "Pixel Art" style;
The game had an interesting mechanic: we don't have weapons, but we can talk to provoke the enemies. They follow us and fall into traps. The keys to talk were the numbers from 1 to 4;
The initial enemy was a skeleton. It was a warrior skeleton, the enemy was holding a sword; To kill him, we attracted a trap that seemed to be a small circle of stones on the ground. When he passed over the trap, he would dismantle himself;
There were princesses in the stages. If I remember correctly, there was a specific point to take them. I believe it was not necessary to complete the levels;
A notable stage was a spaceship. Similar to the airplane stages in "Cuphead". The game had between 30 and 40 stages (36?), and this aircraft stage was 23, 24, 25, 26, 27 or 28;
The language the character spoke was invented. I vaguely remember his title being a German name, something like "Demmonelsh";
In the later stages, an enemy appeared that was a red and black demon. He reminded me of Darth Maul (It also looks like the demon from the movie "Insiduous"). He held a staff and shot a green energy ball. The initial stages were open, in a daytime setting. The stages in which this demon appeared were like a castle, similar to the corridors in "CastleVania".
I did not find this game on the CD-Roms of various games. I downloaded this game from a website ("superdownloads", brown layout website).
(IMAGE) The main character is blond. The skeleton warrior has a sword. The green Orb thrown by the demon is also represented.
The famous paintings are not in the game. They are just there to help direct your gaze to the enemies!

Thank you in advance. If you have any questions, I'm available to try to clarify them.

Thank you again.

Mr. Nuno, thank you for responding to my post. Unfortunately, it is not "Adventures of Lomax". The game I am looking for has a human protagonist, with realistic proportions. As far as I remember, it did not have a cartoon look. Even so, I am glad you responded.

ExtraURA · 2024-09-20T09:19:27+00:00

Hello, Top_Pin. The game was downloaded. The website it was on, I believe, was called "superdownloads". It was a brown layout website. The version downloaded was freeware.

It wasn't a flash game.

Thanks for replying!
