I'm having vivid flashbacks to an Amiga game that was about this spaceship stuck on a giant spiderweb. You would move along the strands, avoiding enormous space spiders or something. I remember the game having an overly long intro, and I was positive it was called "Arachnophobia", but clearly that's not the case.

Possibly just plain Phobia? It had a level select like that.

No, the graphical style is similar, but it wasn't a shmup. You could move in any direction and the screen would scroll up and down as you moved along the web.

They look like a couple in bed who've just had an argument "Cmonnn I'm sorry, I like your space gun. I think it's neat!" *sniff* 'Y-you do? Really?'

This is a top down PC RPG/adventure game that came out in the late 90s/early aughts. You play as a bumbling farm boy who discovers he's the chosen one after his abusive family is brutally murdered by the dark lord. The graphics are pre-rendered 3D like in Baldur's Gate and the gameplay is similar to Blood Omen or Zelda in its progression. It's kind of cheeky with a lot of RPG cliche jokes and I think one of the bosses is a vicious chicken that was a joke of the killer rabbit in Monty Python. It might have been sold at one point but it was released as freeware and featured prominently in PC game rags. The title is probably the main character's name and it was goofy like Guybrush Threepwood.

I'm looking for a browser-based, goon-made video game music guessing game. It wasn't a flash game, and it would play a song, and you had to guess the song or a common nickname for the song. IIRC it was updated pretty frequently as well. I think the author also made some applications to help creating Let's Plays, but I could be mistaken.

I'm surprised I still can't find this on google over the years. This was an early 90s DOS game I found in one of those "3000 games!" shareware discs. It was a 2d side-scroller with no sound and where you choose between 3 different types of balls (categorized by weight). The backstory is that the world is now ruled by these metal balls and they kill humans for sport. It was a puzzle-ish game where the goal was to kill all the humans on screen by rolling over them while navigating the level's hazards (fans, pits, etc). The game was very gory and had different animations for each type of ball. The small, lightweight ball would punch a hole right through the humans. The larger ball would simply crush them. The balls themselves would end up covered in blood and there was a dedicated button to wipe it off. I'm fairly certain the game was called either "Balls of Death" or "Death Balls" but apparently no one else has ever heard of it. It was quite a novel idea, and even though it had no sound, the sprite graphics were very well done.

A year or two ago, I played the demo of some indie game that had a pretty cool concept. Not sure if it was ever released (probably not), but here's the basic gist. It was a first person puzzle game, along the lines of a very stylized Myst - lots of white space punctuated with bright colors - where the object was to layer backgrounds on top of one another by rotating the screen to create new doorways or trip switches. For instance, you could rotate a door over the top of a silo and then enter the door to unlock a new area. I think I remember one puzzle having to do with a dragon float in a parade? Is this ringing a bell for anyone? I can't remember the name of it for the life of me.

God drat I know that game but I don't know the name too.  I think it done by the same dude who did that one where it's first person and you have to walk around a maze and collect people's coffins in the right order and the entire level is the title screen text. Like you walk into it and the perspective shifts and you realize the letters are the maze.

OK this is going to be a hard one. I recently watched nidoking's lp of Toonstruck, thinking it was a certain adventure game. It was not the one I was thinking of. In about the same time period (Windows 95 and Sierra were things) there was another cartoon themed adventure game. I had seen a trailer a few times, I think it was on a pc gamer demo disk or something. The clearest image I remember is of a thin bald cartoon man in a yellow jumpsuit with a crazed expression (wide grin, crossed red eyes) pointing a gun at the viewer, at a dutch angle. I think it was some kind of glop gun??? I tried using mobygames gamebrowser a bit and couldn't find it, maybe some else knows what the hell I'm talking about.

There was an old FPS from the 90s, right around the time Bungie made Marathon and Pathways into Darkness. It was conspiracy storyline where you're a guy who gets a distress call from a lady friend who works in Washington DC, you fight through some secret service guys only to find her dead body, and one of the dead secret service guy's earpiece you hear them mention you and go "who are they gonna believe, the secret service or a crazy guy who just killed a bunch of people"

I believe X-Wing Alliance specifically had a squadron system like that and one or more missions where you had to stop a star destroyer from warping.

I'm looking for a point-and-click horror adventure game. I don't remember much about it, but it was a download for PC. I recall the main character is a girl of some sort living in an apartment, her neighbor is an old psychic gypsy lady type, and the game's story line involves some kind of gathering of objects in order to summon something (a ghost of a long lost relative, maybe)? I remember one of the screens being a park/carnival area.

I can't find a freeware game I found interesting a few years back: a reasonably recent (as in: the last decade. Well, post 2000. Probably.) homebrew murder-mystery adventure game, deliberately done using Sierra's old (pre-SCUMM? SCI? AGI?) game engine, set in an oil refinery in the Antarctic.
