An old (nineties at latest) casual game, I think bundled with some versions of Mac-OS, definitely pre-Jaguar. There's a lattice of dots, and you control a line spinning around one of the dots. You press a key to catch a neighboring dot as you pass it, and you have to dodge various obstacles to get to a goal dot. One thing I remember very clearly is that the timer doesn't start until you leave the starting dot, but the moving obstacles move, so you have time to wait until they're in a good position.

There was a game I played with some college buddies on the X-Box 360. It was a side-scrolling Beat 'em Up with four (magical?) girls who fought (monsters?). I can only remember what three of the girls had as weapons: one Dual Wielding, one with a BFS, and one with a hammer. The first areas (and only areas I played) were in a modern city.

Out of all the things I can remember from the years when I was probably a toddler, it was a video game on the Playstation. All I can remember from my memories was that it was a snowboarding/skiing game that was on the PS 1. I wish I could provide any more information about it, but that's all I can remember about it.

There's a somewhat musical video game of sorts, can't remember the medium exactly. But, I think it was in a series, and the game I remember most prominently had a main character that was a girl in a cute, police-girl type outfit with a round helmet. She was done in a chibi style.

A web game that I used to play when I was very young. It was a batman game, I remember a level where you were on a train and you battled some ninjas and it had a green sky background. I also remember another level where you battled the penguin. The art style seemed similar to BTAS

okay. So back in the day,there was this weekly Codename: Kids Next Door videogame, where if you scored high enough in the game you'd be ranked and see your username on Cartoon Network the following week. I think they'd update it with new missions every week.I was wondering if anyone knew what is was called cause I loved it and want to try to find a download for it or something.
openWeird module for ZZT Videogame
This is probably gonna be a hard one but here goes: There was this game/module/whatever someone made for ZZT where you are a kid in this school where the teachers are really mean so you go around shooting them. I remember at one point you face the principal whose name is something like Mr.Dias. When you talk to him he asks a riddle "Is a sphinx good" and says he will rip your heart out if you answer wrong your possible answers are Yes, No, and Nope. If you say Nope he says "yes but you used improper grammar and rips your heart out. Only if You guess No do you beat him. I played it around 1995

There was a game in the late '90s or early noughts, where you played some sort of trader on a floating island, and had to defend your island from pirates while getting it to its destination. At first you could only build and man turrets as necessary, but later you could automate the turrets and got a jetpack that allowed you to take the fight to the enemy.
The only other detail I remember is that the island had a building called the lighthouse, and it was how you directed the lighthouse towards your destination.
Any games in the Shattered World or Floating Continent do not fit, so it's probably a tad obscure. If anyone can find it, I'd be super grateful.

This is an arcade game that is very similar to CarnEvil, but it's not that game. The graphics were much smoother, so I'm guessing that this game is newer.
I didn't actually play this game, I just watched 2 other people playing it, so I don't remember much, but this is what I remember:
It's a 2-player shoooting game that takes place at an Amusement Park of Doom. There was one part in the game when the two protagonists come across a ferris wheel, and see that a Monster Clown is keeping a person hostage in each car. The heroes get out their sniper rifles to kill the clowns, but the challenge is that you have to avoid shooting the hostages.
In another part of the game, the heroes are in a Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs-themed cottage. There are these midgets dressed as the Seven Dwarves, and each one has An Axe To Grind. One of the dwarves turns out the lights, so the heroes activate the night vision on their guns so they can see the dwarfs and kill them. I remember this being the scariest part of the game to me, as the dwarves' costumes are very Uncanny Valley-provoking, and the way they slowly walk toward you in the dark, swinging their axes.
Not sure if this will help, but I'm pretty sure I saw this game at a Dave & Busters'.
Sadly, that's all I can remember. Does anyone know what this game is?

2 flash games (I'm pretty sure they were both on Newgrounds).
1. There is a planet floating in the middle of the screen, and there are these enemy spaceships trying to destroy it. To defeat them, you click on the ships and the missiles they fire to make them crash into each other. As you keep playing, your planet evolves and gains these big spikes that help protect the planet should one of the enemies attack it.
2. It's like a tower defense game, only it's a side-scrolling platformer. You can choose a monster to play as (I chose ghost, though I think you could also choose a zombie and a vampire.) You are placed in an arena with several platforms and a big object in the middle that you have to protect from swarms of enemies who come in from the sides. There are 2 ways to defeat enemies: You can attack them, or eat them. Eating enemies fills up a meter that allows your character to evolve. Every time you evolve, you can choose one of 2 forms, each of which has unique strengths and weaknesses.
Any idea of what these games are?

My cousin was playing this sci-fi horror game several years ago and I barely remember it, but there was this one scene where you're standing behind a glass and you see this woman stuck in a machine and get impaled by... something, I forgot. And there were organic weapons you could pick up and I think the ship was part organic but I can't be sure. And I think the woman comes back assimilated into an alien, but only her upper body is showing. Scared the heck out of me and was pretty gory and graphic. The impalement is what I remember best.

I remember a game I played when I was a kid, but the name slipped my mind. The character you play as is a blueish blob with Rayman Limbs like "hands". The blob could bounce by jumping from a high distance to get to an even higher distance, and your main "weapon" was a handful of magic beads that functioned similar to boomerangs, and you could collect up to four of them over the course of the game. I forget how the plot goes, but he befriends a yellow humanoid... thing, who gives him the first bead. There are also alternate forms for the blob that are unlocked through getting certain point scores (?), like ninja, robot, and cactus. No, really. I'm pretty sure the game is named after the main character. I played it on a PC and I'm half certain we got it off the web. Then again, it was back in the mid 2000's I think.

There was this game I played once as a kid (mid-00's). It was a 3D platformer on PC where you played as a chimpanzee or some other type of monkey. I believe it took place in a jungle and the player was on a quest to search for something, but I don't remember any other details.
Anyone know what I'm talking about?
EDIT: There's another game that I remember playing once. It was also on PC, but it was a 2D (adventure?) game. The graphics looked like the game was made in the early 90s. All I remember about the gameplay is that the player had to buy some things, one of which is a pickaxe to climb a mountain. I'm not sure if it was just this one area of the game, but the village where the player bought the pick was covered in snow. Again, does anybody know this game?

Arcade game from the early to mid 1980s. The graphics were simple yet advanced (for the time) - rendered as simple green lines on a black background, but it was a 3D wireframe world.
You as the central character were essentially a sphere (your head) on an inverted cone (your body). The Boss was a floating eye on the top of a pyramid. You "shot" the eye by running over tiles on the ground which then shot into the eye. You had to jump from one area to another in order to shoot all the tiles, but you could only do that when the eye was closed, otherwise it'd shoot you with Eye Beams and you'd lose a life. After you shot all tiles there was an opportunity to destroy the eye at the end of each level. When you did, then you'd fly through space to the next level, but on the way there there was an opportunity to pick up points by collecting asteroids (I guess?) as you flew.
Hope all that made some kind of sense.
