    Septerra core legacy of the creator, a pc turn based rpg i got in the early 2000s in some multi game pack at walmart or something. took forever for me to find it using the early internet. Its a unique title, but highly forgettable.

    One of my earlier memories was playing a strange game I haven’t been able to find again. All I remember is: you control a car (I think it has flower decals on it?) and can drive through a desert/canyon area. You can also press a key which makes a rotor come out of the top of the car, allowing you to fly it like a helicopter.

    I have no idea what the gameplay was beyond that, but I’d love to find it again.

    I used to have this symbian game that had a small dragon as the main character and accidentally deleted it from the phone it was on. Never found it again :(

    At some point at some friend’s place I played a slightly GTA-ish game but it was all 3D stick figures and just running from the police and shooting thr stick men with guns.

    A puzzle game where each (2D) map spawns with lasers and corresponding targets, and sometimes mirrors etc. You get to place some mirrors, T pieces, beam splitters etc. and have to fulfill each target.

    There are so many clones of this out now it’s nigh impossible to find, especially as the game is literally just called Laser. This one’s also a clone I think but I just love this particular one.

    I did recently finally find it again after more than a decade of looking.

    I got two im thinking of : One I am sure I can recover but hey, let’s shoot for some engagement here, it was a sort of worms like but with pigs, were you could promote units to archetypes The second one I couldn’t find on my searches, it was a PS1 game (I think) in which you constructed your Mecha for battle royale rounds, and you could buy parts or change chassis. I remember an arena on a sort of battleship or structure in the sea, but I was unable to retrieve the name of this game.

    There’s a game on the school computers in the late 90s where you choose between 3 numbers for how far you move, you are racing to the bottom of the screen, and some shortcut squares let you drop down.

      I don’t mean SimAnts.

      Microsoft Ants came out a few years later, on the Microsoft Gaming Zone.

      It died when they pulled the plug on the platform, and part of me wishes they’d release it on Steam. But that’s probably the nostalgia talking.

      I was going to say, I don’t remember a Microsoft Ants but I sure as hell remember SimAnts.

      I never figured out if bringing a piece of food next to an egg made it hatch faster but omg as I’m typing this right now I realize that makes absolutely no sense. Why the hell would an egg hatch faster if it has no mouth. Wtf was I thinking as a kid, loool.

    That’s me and this robot-like C64 game. You did levels and took over robots so you could take over stronger robots.

    I do remember Seven Cities of Gold, but only because the game crashed so often I saw the loading screen more than the game itself

    I have had a lot over time : Motherload Idk the name anymore, but something like fighter Z, a space invaders like game were enemies scroll in as you blast things away with a super jet. A space discovery game, was in Norwegian. A mystical signal arrives and you need to research it and eventually send out a space ship.

    I was reminded of another i missed, Sinjid: Shadow of the Warrior. A ninja fighter flash game.

    Last one I guess I might be missing was a 2d like game where the word was blocks like Minecraft but square board levels, angled like a diamond, I think it’s called isometric. sorta like the q*bert games I think. Don’t remember much of the goal, but walk around and collect gems I think. I believe most levels were mostly green grass and water/rivers separating areas. Main character might have been a girl.
