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.
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.
Still on my list of games I wanna finish
I got you fam, it's called NewZealand Story. https://www.myabandonware.com/game/the-new-zealand-story-679
I remember the sound effects and one level… but not the name. Classic.
And not the gameplay or the system?
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.
I think what I am looking for is a third-person shooter. Thanks for the tip anyway!
Oh ok, glhf
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.
For the first it wasn't hogs of war was it? Never played it but do remember it being in a few mags.
It was definitely this one ! I remember playing it at a friend's house and having a blast
second game might be Armored Core?
I don't think so, but it keeps coming in my searches also, I guess I will try it to see if it fits my memories !
Worse when it's a flash game, as I understand they're all dead now.
I just want to play the unknown snowboarding game with all the little hills to jump on again. Well that and the ever classic Kitten Cannon.

You can still play every flash game ever through the Flashpoint Archive
For me it was a golf game but it was probably ASCII only, played on a green monitor, sometime in the late 70s. I loved that game. Either that or my memory is playing tricks with me.
Is it Focal Golf?
Would look something like this, but... green, of course.
You could also check out this post on Atari Archive, this video by them too, and this collection of software you could search through using Ctrl + F and then "Golf". There's a lot of possible matches there.
There doesn't really seem to be a lot of actual playable options or even recordings of a lot of them, though.
I had to try and find it for the sake of this meme! I thought it was a PS1 game all these years, just found it.
Buck Bumble. An N64 game I played when I was a kid, flew around as a bee and shot down other bugs. Its was a good time, glad I was inspired to try and find it's name again!
For the engagement. I could literally google this or ask any of the half dozen AI search agents I have access to and likely get an immediate answer. I don't really care one way or the other.
But having said that....
Back in the day of the original Playstation, circa mid to late 1990s, there was a really intriguing robot battle game where you essentially implemented a visual program to run your battle robot then let it loose in a "3D" arena to run its course with the program you designed. You literally had no direct control over the real time action IIRC, the game was won or lost on how well you programmed your bot to fight.
The actual game was probably pretty shit by modern standards, but for the time it was unique and good enough to be intriguing. It was certainly not the kind of game that would have wide support, then or now. A bit nerdy, definitely complicated for the era.
My stupid fucked up brain remembers it as Armored Core, but that's definitely not the name of the game or even the right genre. I'll literally forget any correct response and likely end up asking this same question again in 10 years, so don't feel compelled to answer. Not like I'm going to fire it up again any time soon. My PS was stolen more than 2 decades ago and I'm pretty sure it was a game I rented a half dozen times but never owned anyway.
Also Merry Fucking Christmas
Old computer game, never have been able to remember the name. It was a sci-fi setting. I distinctly remember taking a ship of some sort and attacking multiple-legged walkers. I don't think it was a Star Wars game. You didn't just control the aerial vehicles as there were also grounds vehicles. You could change out weapons on the vehicle before the mission. There's a line that has stuck with me though: "You're replaceable, the (ship thing) isn't". I remember it coming in a PC game subscription service from the mid 90's. I think the service was called SOMC or something along those lines. It's where I also learned of SWARM and 7 Kingdoms. I still have yet to this day been able to find that sci-fi game, or even the subscription service (or evidence of its existence) again.
