Gaming

I got you fam, it's called NewZealand Story. https://www.myabandonware.com/game/the-new-zealand-story-679

I recently re-discovered Deathtrack.

For me it was two Mac games.

Dinopark Tycoon (I went back to play it and I somehow did worse than my elementary school self, loool)

The other game I never found but it was on the same computer. It was a point and click puzzler where you played a character that looks very similar to the character in the modern game Braid. You start, stranded on a beach and worked your way inland. It had a creepy vibe due to the aesthetics.

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.

3d third person shooter with a female protagonist. Late 90 or early 2000s. Think something like Tomb Raider, but I am pretty sure it was not Tomb Raider. I don't remember much, aside from the tutorial level being in some kind of Portal chamber / Aperture Science like sterile tiled floor and walls with various lights. If I remember correctly, the first real level was in an old big multi store warehouse or club house.

AIV Network$ (A4 Networks) - I searched for years, the name didn't make it easy to find.

Waku Waku 7, very silly fighter

For me it is a ski racing game that looks like about 2005 or 2009 type of game and has a sort of athletic/olympic winter games type of vibe.

T-Rex Warrior for the Commodore Amiga.

Was probably my first introduction to 3D gaming, and because it was a hand-me-down I didn’t have any instructions on how to play it. It literally took my months to figure out how to move in that game, so in the meantime I just stood in place and spin around shooting at enemies until I died.

I once played a 2D RPG which I got stuck in at a point, because I filled all save slots right before getting to a blocking battle, for which I ended up not having enough weapons^[I had recently bought a weapon I then got another one of, just before the battle (as a gift for the battle), but was useless, because only 1 of the player characters could equip that] and then just falling 1 or 2 hits short of managing to pass it.

I have been meaning to retry it from the start (it was a freeware, I think) but I can't recall the rather peculiar name of it. I has been ~ 20 years.
