Beware of trading scammers!

A subreddit for anything related to games (but not sports).

"Related" means that posts must contain gaming-related content in the link/post body, not just a "forced" connection via the title or a caption added to the content.


Posting Rules

  • Posts must be directly gaming-related. Thus, "generic" image macros/memes (where the character itself is not related to gaming) like Scumbag Steve, Good Guy Greg, etc. will be removed. Something that "reminds you of a game", or "looks like something from a game" is also not an appropriate submission; similarly, reaction GIFs are also not appropriate as submissions.

  • Following Reddiquette is encouraged

  • No "general" URL shorteners (bitly, tinyurl, etc). Single-site URL shorteners (such as youtu.be or fav.me) are allowed.

  • NSFW submissions and comments must be labeled

  • Spoilers can be posted using the following formatting:
    [X Kills Y](/spoiler)
    Result: X Kills Y.

  • To mark a spoiler as relevant to a specific game/topic, use the alternate formatting:
    [Player 1 wins](/spoiler "Pong")
    Result:
    Player 1 wins

  • Report posts containing spoilers not using the above method

  • Don't post users' personal information.

Submission Rules

Is your post not showing up? Do not delete it. Wait 5 minutes to give AutoModerator a chance to look at it; it approves most submissions automatically. If it hasn't shown up after more than 5 minutes, simply message the moderators and ask us to let it through.

As a kid, I was always freaked out by the Ghost of Mindmaze Castle. Seriously, fuck that ghost.

It was some Encarta point and click adventure type game that taught you stuff. I can't really remember all of the details and I'm to lazy to find out more.

It was a point and click thing that you had to make your way through a labrythn. I remember playing it and just guessing everything as the questions were well hard.

I played it every day for a year when I was forced to take an after school homework program back in 5th grade. I made it through twice, I think. Definitely more than once.

This game sparked a curiosity inside me that still drives me to look up strange, useless information to this day.

OH MY GOOD GOD. The encarta game! I did complete it a couple of times with my brother, I think we had some cheat or a trainer or something because we were really young. God knows what the ending was, brilliant game though, would love to try it again

What is the best way to go about finding this online and playing it? Is it around anymore?

I would very well be interested in knowing the answer to this.

I want to see if I had grown wiser over the years.
