I remember a game where you played some sort of kid with green shorts and pink hair who hit pigs with a mace. Anyone know what this is?

Tomba, I think. Back in the day (2003 :shrug: ) my friend brought it over to play.

Yep, definitely Tomba. Rented it as a kid and loved it. I definitely need to find myself a copy.

There's one game that was installed in the computer lab when I was in the third grade. I've been trying to remember what it was for years. You had to go through a side-scrolling platformer sort of area where there were parts scattered around to build a vehicle, then you had to use those parts to build the best possible vehicle to win a race. It was designed to teach aerodynamics and stuff like that, that much I remember.

Gizmos & Gadgets?

Gizmos & Gadgets?

*looks it up*

Yes! That's the one! You just ended about 12 years of wondering what the heck I played, thanks.

I remember a game on the PS2 that was a sci fi shooter, it had aircraft and things like placeable mines and sentry guns. If it helps, it was of the disks that a dark bottom instead of the usual reflective one.

Another game I don't remember is one where you play as this computer chip with legs that took over the bodies of animals and machines like tanks. One level involved the chip taking control of a tank to fight elephants in a jungle. The intro involves a scientist crash landing somewhere and the rocket hits a dog who is romancing a sheep. The chip controls the dog's corpse for stuff. Anyone know what this is?

Some kind of game from the 80's/90's. It was a sidescroller/adventure kinda thing I think, 2D with simple pixely graphics. You'd be walking around in a spaceship. I think you had to interact with stuff by typing it, but I could never really find out how the game worked. I think typing 'help' gave some instructions but I didn't know English back then.

I would just be walking around until the point where I ran into an alien (I think) and it shot me.

It's been years and I still haven't found out what game it was.

Holy crap you're right, it appears to be Space Quest 1. Thanks!

I remember a game I played ages ago set in space, you had a central space station and from there you went on missions like flying through asteroid belts and collecting crops from some moon-like planet.
Sorry I dont have more info, but that is all I remember.
