The Sting! and Chip's Challenge came out of nowhere and climbed to the very top of the list, #3 and #4 respectively. I have no clue how that happened...

I've just found out both of them are duplicates of another wishlist entry with 338 votes. And I have voted for that one!

Oops... My mistake!  Thanks for the clarification.  :-)

The game still has less than 350 votes, so I've updated my <span class="bold">previous post</span> with the correct link, and also added a review from AdventureGamers.

Sure, post edited to reflect this. Thanks

<span class="bold">The Blobjob</span>   ( © 1998 IntelliGame  ―  Currently 5 votes )
 
 
The Blo∙b∙job is a short FMV-based sci-fi adventure, in which five nano-manufactured human organisms called "skin blobs" are on the loose.  They were sent to deliver a super secret formula to the Central Patents Office, but they all disappear with their briefcases.  Only one of the briefcases contains the secret formula, a solvent that is able to shrink and expand organic material on a molecular level.  You are Joe Ridley, a low-ranking security officer working at the NanoBlob Corporation.  Armed with your "portable blobber", your mission is to prevent that an idiot steals the formula, by locating all the skin blobs and recovering all the briefcases, before you get blobbed.

The game was supposedly designed to teach people about the adverse effects of drugs, violence, sex, fire and traffic accidents.  In reality, this game is extremely weird, challenges yourself, and is really bad for your sanity.  :-p

This game is a computerized board game with many minigames. This includes a cryptography one (decode a message encoded with a Caesar cipher), a Pac-Man clone, an implementation of Conway's Game of Life (IIRC), and many other games. There is an option to play the mini games outside of the main game. (Interesting note: The Pac-Man clone is easier on the hardest difficulty because the entire game (including your movement) speeds up and the game gives you more points, making it easier to gain extra lives.)

Also, this is a good game to play with children.

One interesting feature of this game is the choice of different installation options, including one that required over 500 megabytes (a ridiculous amount of hard drive space at the time; not all computers even *had* that much space). Unfortunately, I am not sure if that option actually works.
