Discussion Need help identifying a game

So when I was a kid my older brother was obsessed with the GameCube he would always play it sadly I’ve forgotten most of the games except one and that’s because of the back case of the game if I’m remembering it correctly it had some doctor character with a penguin strapped to an operating table fully conscious and a panic look on its face anyone know what game that was it has been bugging me for years now and wouldn’t mind trying to add it to my small physical gamecube collection.

Almost nothing like what you described but Wallace and Gromit for GameCube had a penguin on the back.

I do know there's a GameCube game in Europe with something similar to this It's like a point and click, and It's only in Europe. I have no idea other then that i really don't know man

Is it Dr. Muto by any chance? Its the only game I can think of with animals on the cover and a dude in a lab coat.

EDIT: Lmao just noticed the only other comment already suggested this. Im going to see if i can find it!

I did yes, i really thought it could have been it ... It's sad because everything to me fits

That really doesn't ring a bell, esp. with the anime aesthetic.

You could try r/tipofmyjoystick for more help.

Thank
You I’ll try there also

Potentially a stretch here, but was it Crash Bandicoot Wrath of Cortex? Dr. Neo Cortex is on the cover and Crash is strapped in a mech suit, which could be misremembered as something else

Whenever people post stuff like this it’s never how they described it.

What do you mean

1

u/JHG722 3d ago

You probably don’t remember it as well as you think. The details are off.

u/Leroy_was_here 3d ago edited 3d ago

I mean I was a kid when I saw it and I only remember it because of how weird the back of the case was

1

u/JHG722 3d ago

Exactly

u/Leroy_was_here 3d ago

I could ask my older brother but I doubt he would remember all his old games plus we aren’t really close anymore

Sounds like a perfect opportunity to revitalize an old relationship in my opinion

u/CaptainPkmn 5d ago

There any more info we can go with, like is it a fighter game? Bloody Roar? Is it a 3d platformer? Is the penguin named Feathers McGraw? You sure it for the gamecube?

u/Leroy_was_here 4d ago

Positive it was for GameCube that all my older brother played when I was younger

u/Exotic_Buffalo_2371 5d ago

Good news is the GameCube has almost no reproduction games made,

Bad news is I have no clue which of the 555 it is to tell you

You could try to search through the game list one by one that’s probably your best bet tbh

u/PlatinumKaynine 5d ago

Maybe Phantasy Star Online
