i used to own this game (Volley Fire) in a 2in1 cartridge.
It came with another game where you are a chibi knight
and you gather coins and deposit it in your house in order
for your stats to increase. Then you have to fight a stationary
dragon with 3 heads and one tail. You have to kill the 3 heads
separately and the tail too. Please if anyone knows the
name/title of that game, a reply would be awesome.

I am looking for an old game which I used to play in my childhood.
It was a PC game (I used to play it on WinXP)
It is the only game from which the Mutta - Easter Egg Tosser was Inspired.
I used to play it in 2010-12s (might be older than that).
It was just so normal looking, no great graphics.
Objective:
Vertically launch the egg from a nest below to the best above which usually moves horizontally.
We have to I think make a high score.
Please inform if anybody knows it...
I have a very vague memory of a platformer where you choose some kind of form beforehand. I want to say it was on gameboy, in my mind I see it in black and white but I can't say for sure. I think I remember seeing a speedrun of it on speedrun.com, because I remember the runner choosing a faster form before the levels or something, but I wasn't able to find anything. I remember it looking interesting from a TAS perspective but I dont have it in ANY of my notes. One thing that doesn't help is that I remember basically nothing, it's just a hazy thing that popped back in my head yesterday and driving me nuts that I can't remember what it was.

Well I have found the game after arduous searching. Turns out it was a wonderswan game! Here is the game I was talking about:

By the way, there is a game I played about 15 years ago or so, a space vertical scroller, for NES probably, in which at some point you have to fight a face which is immune to any attacks and you die all of a sudden for apparently no reason if you don't keep moving. The boss dies by himself if you keep yourself alive for enough time.

Its is a PC game (don't know if it was available in PS2/GC), should be from the 2000s. It was divided into missions, and each mission had a few objectives. I remember the second mission had an objective to blow up a bridge with a time-bomb, and the third mission involved setting a bomb in a room full of oil barrels. Does it strike a bell anyone?
Edit - On second thought I am not sure which-th missions they are, but I am pretty sure they follow each other closely in that order.
Hello,
Even if I doubt someone here will find it, we never know...
It's a PC game, probably even a french game that I played as a child in french and the only thing I can remember is at a moment you have an acorn that you move on the screen by dragging it.
At this point, this is a forest with a boar which says EN(approximate traduction)"oh acorn!"/French "Oh un gland !". You can put the acorn in the mouse of the boar which will say EN"I like acorns!"/"J'aime les glands" or something similar.
The boar on the screen is on the middle/left of the screen I might say and I believe there is also a tree at his right. This game is probably upopular because I played it thanks to the library in my town. That should be a game from very late 90s to 2000s
Thank in advance if you find it !
I'm looking for a Windows 3.1/9x game that plays like ABM Command.
It comes pretty close, but as far as I remember, the variation of the game I played, each of the six cities looked different and there was sound.
I'm pretty sure if you tried to shoot while having no missiles, it would say "Ooh!", as well as actual explosion sounds.
ABM Command itself looks to be based on a famous arcade game Missile Command, of which several ports exist.
went to [...] and searched missile, is it this? [Moderator Edit: Please don't link to downloads for copyright-protected materials. In this case, info for the game you had linked to, can be found here instead: https://www.mobygames.com/game/59723/missile-attack/]
Thanks Patashu, but I think this is not it. I think the background was black with the missiles raining down being white. I think the missiles could split into two at some point, but I don't remember clearly.
However, the design of the cities comes much closer to what I remember, compared to ABM.
When I do find the game, I will post here again.
@Patashu
Thank you! It looks like Warhead 1991 is it. I definitely remember the hands above the shooters and the cities after each round.
There apparently exist several versions of the game.
One of the two versions available on Archive.org is shareware v1.21 but there are references elsewhere to shareware v1.00, v1.01, v2.00, v2.02.
It seems v1 didn't feature the "Ooh!" when you ran out of missiles, but v2 does.
Warhead is one of the games I vaguely remember playing from my Windows 95 game collection CD-ROM that I can't find anymore. I'm currently in the middle of tracking all these games down but it's difficult.
(Apologies for the previous link, I was not aware [site] was copyright violating.)
Yes, but apparently it is ok to link to Archive.org. Even though I have doubts some of the things on it are distributed legally. If it is not ok to link to it after all, let me know.
If you ever want help finding another DOS or windows 3.1-through-98 game, I've done a lot of cataloguing myself so I have good odds of finding it if it was released in English.

Ok, here is one:
This one is not really a game, more like a simulator of wild life that you can watch unfold.
There is a triangle grid, with animals (triangles) and grass (green dots).
Based on the color of the "animals", they can be herbivorous (eat only grass), carnivorous (eat other animals), or omnivorous (eat both).
I can only remember there being red and blue though, I guess the herbivores were blue and the carnivores were red - with a game setting allowing reds to be omnivores instead.
The "animals" could starve and become thinner, until they die if they don't find food.
Green dots replenish over time, becoming thicker and thicker.
Reds as carnivores would only travel to an adjacent field if another animal is on it, otherwise stay in place.
Blues would travel to adjacent fields all the time.
Randomly at a rare chance, new animals can appear on the field.
I made a quick mockup which shows a part of the field:
When I think of the game, I somehow associate the word "Bios" with it. It might be the game's name but I could be wrong. Of course, this is an inconvenient name to search for...
Found a copy of the Windows 95 game collection CD-ROM that I mentioned earlier.
It's by media Verlagsgesellschaft and it's on archive.org but I'm not sure if I should link it. This post mentioned DOS games specifically, not PC games.
There are games on this CD-ROM that I could only vaguely remember or have forgotten completely. Like this neat Arkanoid clone.
Yes, after hitting the skull block you must actually avoid the ball, until hitting the skull block again. Funny game.
I can actually start up the slots games (Cherry Delight Video Slots, Double Dynamite Video Slots, etc.) this way. Using the standalone versions from Archive.org would give "missing .DLL errors".
From this CD-ROM I learned about other classics like Warpath, Slam!, Reproduction Man, Comet Busters, and Warheads.
Warheads reports itself as Shareware 2.01.
Yes, the game I mentioned in my previous post is actually called Bios. Since the game itself has some graphical errors (maybe some missing drivers or incompatibility due to it being run on DOSBox-x) here is just a screenshot of the preview screen:
I will definitely be looking at the other CD-ROMs by media Verlagsgesellschaft soon.
