I played this game as a kid on windows 7 i think.
It was a 3d game where you played as a virus and ate pc parts on the pcb.
I think the year was 2011-2012 but i am not sure

Was it "Chip's Challenge"?

It's an older game (way before 2011/2012, and way before Win 7), but you could get it to run on a Win 7 32bit (!) system.

Though, you're not exactly playing as a virus...

Edit: oh - and it's not 3D...so, it's probably not your game.

Edit 2: could it be "Virus: the Game"?

That sounds like a cool game we need on GOG.com.

Useful tip - For old 16-bit Windows 3.1 games that won't run either under 64-bit W7-10, nor natively under DOSBox, in order to save wiping your main 64-bit W7-10 OS and reinstalling the 32-bit version, it's possible to install Windows 3.1 under DOSBox then run it under that. See attached file of screenshot of Chip's Challenge running under Win 3.1 under DOSBox under W7 (64-bit) :-)

A lot of Windows 3 items had Pseudo 3D for buttons/looks. Though i'd hardly consider it 3D :P


Hmmm... can't help but think of Operation: InnerSpace, where you could fight against virus'd icons, be a flying dolphin in your computer....


Still one of my favorite games. Though RingRunner beats it after some heavy computer improvements in many areas. But you aren't a virus or deal with hardly any viruses... so...
