I have a pretty easy one. I distinctly remember a FPS game on the PC (might have gotten console ports of some sort) from a few years back that had "realistic" smoke physics. Like if there was a pillar of smoke emitting from somewhere and you shot through it with a rocket/machinegun it would twirl and react realistically.

At first I thought this was Unreal 2 but after replaying that it apparently wasn't. Someone else suggested that it was Quake 4 and I've reinstalled that also but haven't really run into any of that fancy smoke/particle stuff. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? It's a few years old by now and I'm betting I remember it much more awesome than it actually was.

As Captain Duck said, this was UT2k4, and only in certain maps. It looks pretty cool, though.

Years ago I played a demo of some roguelike on a mac addict cd. I've been searching all over for it and haven't been able to locate it. I remember a tower that you had to go in that was filled up with spiders behind a wall.

This could be Taskmaker, or maybe even Exile. Most likely, though, it's Realmz. Or a couple of other things, really... are you sure it was a normal roguelike? Most of those have all been ported to other systems.

I can barely remember this game (mid to late 80's)

It was for a Macintosh classic.

It was a point and click type game.

I think there was a castle of some sort.

There was a scary bald dude.


Anyone?

This is a stretch, but this could've been one of the old WorldBuilder games. Names of ones that fit your description are: Radical Castle, Castle of Id, Vampire Castle, or even one of the more mainstream ones like Ray's Maze, or Another Fine Mess.
