Old MS-DOS (I think, could have been Win 3.1 etc) 3D cockpit space shooter. May have had wingmen. Had 10 weapons bound to the number keys: a few of them were reminiscent of Star Wars/Star Trek stuff like 'Photon Torpedoes' (think those were on key 3). The final level involved you flying into a large superstructure, that was a giant sphere with small gaps in between (think a giant rubber band ball except made of space metal).

That game sucked up a lot of my childhood and I'd give anything to play it again.

Wing Commander maybe?

Nope, tried that already. Unless I am grossly misremembering, there was little to no plot and ground missions, and the UI doesn't seem familiar. Thanks though.

Terminal Velocity?

Terminal Velocity looks right, especially the final stage. I'll check it out, thanks :)

-The first one we played in elementary school. You were...a...guy who was made up of a tv I think? You went around a tv/radio station and solved math/english/science problems and earned points or something, I can't really remember. I think this was probably early 90s when I played it. I want to say it was -something-blaster but my google-fu is failing me

Trying to remember the name of an old kids' educational game, probably Win 3.1 or at latest 95-era and came on a CD-ROM. You drove a truck around on a flat road plane with exit signs that you could turn off onto to play minigames like putting out fires and unloading hay at a farm or something. You would run out of fuel eventually so you had to turn off and gas up sometimes, and you had a home base you could return to which had additional minigames. I want to say it was called "Big Rig" with a yellow diamond shaped logo but that name just turns up an old DOS managerial game and Big Rig Racing. I remember playing the hell out of it as a kid.
