Much better suggestion! Do you know if the game's good? I might give it a try on Android.

I tried to like Star Command, but I'd already played FTL which is a much, much better game.

That being said, I think I have more money than he does, and my ratio to games bought vs played is MUCH higher than his. Like someone else said, if you've played FTL, Star Command, while it looks MUCH nicer, is definitely a step-back, only because it feels like they were trying to be FTL.

Super obscure request but it's a game I played as a kid as a rental and liked, then after returning it to the store I promptly forgot the name. Here's what I know though. 1) It was on the Sega Master System. 2) Played mostly like an adventure game, i.e. find objects and use them on other objects or situations. It had some other kind of gameplay too I think, but I'm not sure. 3) You're trying to save a princess. 4) At one point you play a flute to calm a storm or maybe maelstrom. I've gone through the whole list of SMS titles trying to figure out what it was but none of the names ring a bell.

SpellCaster for the Master System has you use a lute to calm a stormy sea. It's a blend of adventure and action sequences. I don't think there's a princess though.

A long time ago I played a game that was a Norse God themed, top down isometric RPG for PC. I'm pretty sure I just had a demo. I found one game that I thought might have been it but it never completely triggered my memory. I recall a glowing shield which I think had a snake on it, which was totally awesome. This is from around the 486 or maybe early Pentium era, and I probably got it from a PC Gamer demo CD.

My friends and I were talking about gradeschool and the dumb "edutainment" games they had for us to play once we finished our Type To Learn lessons. There was one game we had that was based around ancient Greece and it's mythology. It was a sort of point and click adventure but really seemed to boil down to going to the right section in the right order to get the right tool/weapon/artifact to defeat monsters. Something like going to the Oracle at Delphi to get something to give to Poseidon so you could get his trident to use to kill the harpies to get something, etc, etc. And if you didn't have the right thing when you ran into these monsters then you died. Each "encounter" also had like 4 options: Run, Talk, Fight, Defend or something like that. I think it may have been made by Scholastic and was on windows 98/2000 but I can't really remember what OS our school computers had. It could have also been windows 95. All I know is that it wasn't the game "Wrath of the Gods" which all of my googling so far has pointed me to. It wasn't live action video. We were talking about how none of us ever knew what to do because the game never really gave any instructions. I think the game was supposed to center around going to the Oracle first and getting "missions" from her and then doing a daisy chain quest to finish it up before coming back and getting another one. The whole thing being designed to teach you Greek Mythology. I started middle school around 1999, but the school was new and really didn't put (or didn't really have) much money into the software we had. They had windows stuff and what was probably a collection of scholastic or encarta or britanica educational software collections. So I doubt the game had come out in or around '99.

All I could tell you is that this was somewhere during the 2010's. [Hazy remembrance gooooo] It's a sprite brawling kinda game and I think there was a thing about if you're fighting people sometimes the character will automatically grab stuff like pool cues and hit people with them? I think there was a thing where you could jump through windows too maybe? I think the graphics looked like Gunpoint but I'm not sure.

No, it wasn't a top-down view. The game was side-long like Gunpoint.

Had a quick look around for this, but everything I've found seems to be not exactly what you're looking for. The Myths of Olympus sounds very similar in structure, but it's too early and on the Apple II. Labyrinth of Crete is from the right time period, but more puzzle-focused. Odyssey: The Search for Ulysses is from 2000, but looks a bit high-end for typical school computers.

Some pause music just popped into my head, and I have no idea what it's from. It's not super old, and the best way I can describe it is a 'brawler march'. The only thing I can offer it that the last bar before it loops, for anyone musical reading this, is, in 4/4 time (and played with quarter notes), snare, kick, kick, snare. Around 140 bpm or so. It's not Battletoads (edit: or Crazy Taxi) btw.

This is going to be lots of super long shots and trickier given your profile pic  Other than all the usual Megaman 2 stuff like the flash man stage the Batman soundtrack seems to stick in people's heads pretty well; stage 3 in particular: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLD7FB36E8099E77A7

Some sort of adventure game, isometric view. Only remember a weird rear end scene where there's a bunch of people on a hill bowing and praying around a giant head that says something weird when you click on it. I think the main character was in hospital scrubs or something?

I assume you're mis-remembering the game because frankly I can't remember a scene like that. It's probably some combination of Chapter 2 where you have to kill "mom" and the Circus of Fools.
