A game for the Sega Genesis, it was some sort of military flavored game, maybe a flight simulator? Frankly, what I remember is not so much the gameplay but the cartdridge: It had a tiny yellow plastic module on the side which I don't remember seeing in any other game. What game was it, and what purpose did that yellow plastic thing serve?

Probably F-117 Night Storm, and I'm pretty sure the yellow tab was just because EA made their own carts.

Her Majesty's SPIFFING is a point-and-click game that does a lot of parody, and if you turn on the "American" VA option in the menus, you get... a laugh track.

This one has been ruining my brain for years. C64 game. You were supposed to collect objects jet set willy style. But there was a twist, there was a bird you could call who would pick you up and drop you off at several locations. Also you could punch the bird for some reason. And then the bird wouldn't pick you up for a while.

Hm, no. I think the bird was yellow as well. Also, I'm not sure but I think the game started when you walked off the title screen, downwell style. MassiveSky fucked around with this message at 17:14 on Oct 10, 2022 |

Game released recently, I don’t know if it’s a Humble published game but that’s where I first saw it but I don’t recognize it in their Trove archive. Best described as indie Dark Messiah, you’re a sword wielding knight guy fighting enemies in a proc Gen dungeon kicking them into traps and stuff.

No this game was more abstract looking, the humanoid enemies were little more than black textured Minecraft guys and it was kind of a speedrunny type approach where you’re trying to complete the levels as fast as possible. Neverlooted looks kind of cool though

I'll mention Blade & Sorcery as another game along the lines of Dark Messiah, except in VR. My favorite part of Dark Messiah was the most powerful weapon being a wicker basket. Set one ablaze, and you could hold it without taking damage, and torch enemies by simply walking into them. I'm pretty sure it acted as a shield, too. I don't know if the indestructible hell basket was a design oversight or something they did intentionally for laughs, but it owned either way.

Trying to remember this old adventure game from I think the mid 90s where the graphics were cartoony and there was time travel and I think one of the first things you do was get a dinosaur egg. It came as a pack-in with Gateway 2000 computers around I think 95.

Trying to find a (kinda?) old game - I think it was touted something like from the dev who did XCOM or XCOM2 - but its not the phoenix point game. It had 3 races, and really really terrible DRM like you could only get it from his specific website and he'd send you a code or something I don't know. One of the things that stands out is that there were an "alien" race and a "robot" race and the robot race had a guy who shot a "grenade" and it was a little ball, it shot out, and you'd end your turn, and it would continue on the trajectory of the ball throughout subsequent turns until it blew up. The game play was something like Frozen Synapse, turn based combat. I think the three races were like human, robot, alien. It had a very distinctive feel and I can't find the darn thing. It didn't do so well and maybe was kind of buggy and I remembered I wanted to come back to it and see if it got better. Not very descriptive, anyone have a clue? =\

Retroahoy made a overview over x-com and related games recently, is it a game in this video? He mentions some Frozen Synapse style games. Xcom is made by someone different then Phonix point which is by the makers of X-com. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gBu77h2FSCM

There's also the UFO: Aftermath/Aftershock/Afterlight series. Your description doesn't sound like the first or third game, but I've never played the second, and I think it had different races.

I'm trying to track down an old Flash game I used to play, probably around 2002-2003. There was a pig on the screen and you had to click and drag food items that would travel from one side of the screen to the other on a conveyor belt. Certain foods would cause it to gain weight, others would cause it to puke and lose weight. I think the goal of the game was to get the pig as fat as possible in the time limit without overfeeding it to the point where it would explode. Overall it was very stupid and simple. I remember it being called something like "Pop the Pig", or maybe "Don't Pop the Pig", or just "Feed the Pig", though I haven't been able to find it searching for any of those titles, possibly because there are other games with the same name.
