There's an educational PC game I remember playing at school, so it would have been at least 14 years ago. All I can clearly remember is a scene where the main character, who I think was a dog, hitting a high striker. I would not be surprised if it were a mathematical educational game.

The game's name is Umi no Nushi Tsuri ("Legend of the Sea King").

Right this is one of those building bridges to watch your vehicle go across I think in this one it was a train. This one was somewhere between 1990 and 2005. Very basic in graphics heavily 2D. I think I just solved it myself. It's called Bridge Builder and it was from 2000.

For anyone who doesn't already know: I found the game I was looking for in this link and I already thanked MUGG in chat. 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. Edit: oh, and another thing... This is actually important... Some years ago I got on a site about cool Windows indie games, and I've seen a video of a run and gun game which was awesome beyond words. Very dynamic gameplay packed of attacks to dodge. I remember to have seen something like a Chinese dragon, and I'm not sure to remember if it was an enemy or the player character.

There is a certain game I can't find anymore. Basicly imagine Anno 1602/A.D. 1602 except a bit different. It's an old game (Windows 98?) where you mainly navigate ships across the sea. There are small pieces of islands everywhere. You have a hometown where you can place a few buildings, but it's not particularly in-depth (no roads, no real planning, etc.) I believe your ships' flags are red-white stripped. Or maybe completely blue?... Objective is to defeat enemy ships and settlements. There are magic scrolls(?) which you can use. You can also build temples which in turn can use their magic in the nearby area, the strongest one being one that destroys land (which then becomes water, irreversably). I think ships can fight by boarding. And if ships sink, you can salvage their goods by moving across the remains.

Ok now I'm pretty sure the thing was an enemy. By the way, I said Windows indie...

Platform? Approximate year production or at least game generation? Can do 2 players? How long to beat the game?

@ThunderAxe31, Windows 98 era Single player You play a certain number of missions and I don't believe they're timed. The game as a whole takes maybe a few hours when played casually. Edit: Part of the game title might be "Conquest" ?

Nah, the game is 2D, like Anno 1602/A.D. 1602. I remembered just now the game might have "Conquest" in the title. It seems pretty rare since I haven't seen screenshots of it in google images or archive.org yet. Aaaand it seems to be Ancient Conquest - The golden fleece Welp, thanks for your help!

There was at one point a puzzle game for MS-DOS that was similar to Brix and Puzznic, but you couldn't directly move the blocks - you had to manipulate stage objects in order to unite the blocks properly. I want to say it was ported from an Amiga game given what I remember of the game's flavor.

Can you help me with this one? There was a space-shooter arcade game back in the late 80s where the opening sequence is someone (a child?) throwing a paper airplane.

I'm not looking for a game but for literature this time: A book about a girl who is escaping nazi germany with her mother. At one point she is in france and needs to learn the french language and has trouble in school. But at some point she suddenly can use the language and speaks fluently. If you can guide me to the name of this book, I'd appreciate it

Platform(s): Arcade Genre: Pinball simulation Estimated year of release: Early 1990s probably. Graphics/art style: Manga style. (Or drawn, not based on photographs at least.) Notable characters: There were multiple (4?) boards. Each board had a picture of girl(s) in manga style. The only picture I remember is one featuring two girls wearing some kind of gas masks. Possibly rifles too. Notable gameplay mechanics: Doing some combo or reaching a certain score, or something, resulted in the girls in the picture becoming less clothed. Other details: Played it in Greece. The arcade also had beatemup The King of the Dragons (1991). The game was probably innocent-looking/tame because I remember us being surprised when there was suddenly undressing.

I am searching furiously for two games I remember as a kid but am missing their names entirely. The first one I know was an MS-DOS game. It was a point-and-click adventure which used digitized photos. There was an Australian man on some sort of quest, and a third of the game took place in a landscape outside of an abandoned mine (you eventually had to go inside, but you had to get a certain item or you would get stuck), and there was a town to explore. You could die in this game, just like in a traditional adventure game, but what was unique was he had a health counter, so mistakes didn't end the game immediately but you could still screw up. What I DO remember: The beginning of the game was very frustrating to figure out; you start out flying a cargo plane until eventually an emu flies into the cockpit, and you have to escape and free-fall into the mountain. The game-over sequence used to scare me as a little kid; upon dying, the narrator makes some kind of joke or hint about what killed you and how you could have avoided it, then a farewell dirge on a mortuary organ starts playing as the screen fades into a gravestone that says "R.I.P [I can't remember his name] [it said his birthday but i forgot it] - Today" as the narrator says "It looks like your time has come. I hope you like it down under... Dave... [I think that was his name]" The last part of that trails off, and the organ keeps playing until you quit or load a save file. Fun for the whole family! In the town, there was a part where you had to go into someone's house, and there was a guy there laid up in bed....with two heads. A human person. Both heads spoke at the same time. Every time you do something that increases your score, the guy makes some kind of Australian cheer like "rippa!" or "getty, mate!" To get into the mine you had to cross a river and it was full of alligators. Wading into it too far to the left would cause a gator to jerk up and eat you, being an instant game-over. My cousin practically beat his face into the wall trying to figure out what to do to get across. What a marvelous bird is the pelican. For a game that ran pretty well, there was this utterly terrifying audio glitch that seemed to pop up at complete random; for no particular reason, certain voice clips or soundtracks would make a god-awful screeching noise and act like the damn computer was about to explode. The first time this happened to me as a kid, I shot like a bullet towards my room and didn't touch the computer for like four days. The second game I'm looking for was not very well known, but I do remember it was a life simulator, and its advertisement slogan was "What if you could live your life over again?" I played it at a friends house. There were two versions, a "male" and "female" disk, I played the male version. So, you type in a first and last name, and you can choose what stage of life to start from, I chose "child". Oh yeah, it was possible to die, and when you die, your save file gets erased, I think. There was a "tree" of icons whose meanings represented different times in your character's life; a heart meant you were on a date, a person's X-ray meant you were sick or something, a person in a hard hat meant you were working at your job, etc. I had played all the way up to old age, and I know that while the previous stages had like ten or fifteen icons, old age had like five or seven, because one of them was a sunset icon, meaning you were about to die of old age, but this stage was the hardest because you could actually die on any of the other icons; one of the causes at this part was that you could complain about your hands and fingers being cold all the time, and the doctor finds cancer in you, but it kills you before they can yank it out. Another in middle age has you snap your spine in half diving for a baseball at a senior's baseball game (why the heck are a bunch of arthritis patients playing baseball?!), and in one just before old age, you eat so much food and gain so many pounds that you die under your own weight; this one was actually kind of dark because it tells you what happens afterward, how many people in your family hear about it, and your wife actually dies from panicking about it! Yeesh. I cannot for the life of me remember what these were called. Halp pls.
