If anyone wants to take a look at my other thread to find the game I'm looking for, it would be appreciated.

I'm looking for a game that was in the (IIRC) isometric viewpoint. I had only played the demo, but it was multiplayer. It was a fantasy game and there was magic, and there was a green wand or staff or something that you could pick up that shot a green ball of energy that would (I'm pretty sure) bounce off of walls. There was a level that was set inside of a mansion or something, and it had a secret room behind one of the walls (I think you teleported in and out). You could go outside the mansion as well, and there was a small cave where some powerful weapon was. I honestly have no idea when it came out, and I know this isn't much to go off of, but I'd really love to play it again.
If it means anything to anyone, I think I downloaded the demo off of Happy Puppy.
Edit: For some reason I thought it could be Nox, partly because people rave about it all the time - and it looks like it is.

LOL I would never have guessed that it was NOX from that description. But I played the demo as well, and I remember that the multiplayer demo was very different from the singleplayer game.

Two games that I can't remember title of. Both from Atari ST/Amiga age.
#1 I think developed by a french studio (that might be misleading ... might have been french publisher). You are part of a special task force dealing with terrorism. There were three parts to the game.
a) Place your snipers. This happened as a platformer, side-scroller. You controlled one at a time, you had to evade the searchlights terrorists (who held hostages) used. If you didn't the sniper you were using was gunned down. There were three sniping spots - the furthest the most difficult to reach.
b) First person perspective from the sniper's vantage points. Your job is to shoot as many of the terrorists as possible. Depending on how many snipers you placed/survived in a) you had different vantage points (and more chances to clear the threat that way, already). The tricky bit was that not all the targets were hostiles, some where hostages.
c) Third person perspective, storming the building. You abseil down the outside of the building, choose a window to go through and then attempt to wrap up whatever's left from stage b). If you didn't manage to place any snipers at all you had loads of opposition. If you did a proper job in b) close to any. Again - you had to avoid shooting the hostages. As with a) you have several chances, i.e. you can switch between several different attackers (as in b) ).
I loved the game. That each part influenced the next like that was pretty damn unusual at the time, and it was all-together quite well designed.
#2 is rather silly, and probably hasn't aged well. I just would like to know what the name was, for curiosities sake. Cartoon style graphics. You control a number of prisoners who ultimately try to escape. The whole thing was very "flash game like". Remember one part was about peeling potatoes. One part was a version of pong/archanoid - prisoners are jumping out of the cell windows, you had a trampoline and tried to get them over the prison wall. Another part had your character run along power lines, trying to avoid electric shocks.
Any ideas?

I'm fairly sure the first game you are after is Hostage: Rescue Mission
The second game I have no idea about.

:) Ye, that's the one. Operation: Jupiter sounds familiar, so I guess I had the French version. Thanks!

Ok just found the second one using google. I googled "atari st prison escape game" and BoBo on moby games came up as the very first site.

SIGH

Ok, I'll give it a try, I hope anyone remembers these two.
#1: It was a PC platform game, very simple one, 320x200 256 colours. It had fairly calm music, you controlled a character which looked like a red cup turned upside down with a red nose, also had eyes and short legs. The one level I remember had starry or dark blue background, the ground tiles had grass on them I think. I don't remember any enemies on the level, just jumping around obstacles, over fires, etc. The executable file was ARO.EXE as far as I can recall.
#2: It's a Mac "game" from around 1990-1993. It's actually a children's animated storybook type of thing. When you go to a new page, characters move, speak and then the whole scene is frozen and you can click on pretty much anything and see some silly effect, like clicking the scenery in the putt-putt adventures. As far as I can recall the main characters were bears, and one scene included mummy bear cooking some cookies. If you clicked on the tray of cookies on the table, the one in front got up, grew eyes and mouth as well maybe, and said "1... 2... 3...", then all cookies got up and started dancing and singing "we're the cookies" or something like that. Silly huh?
Stupid old memories. ;)

That made my day.

I'm trying to figure out the name of a game. It's been bugging me lately. I have no idea what the gameplay genre is, but the game had a sci-fi setting.
I read a review of the game some time around 1999 or 2000 in the newspaper. I don't think there were any screenshots. I only vaguely recall the premise, so I may be off in a few places.
You are a crew member on board a spaceship that is attacked by an unknown enemy. The entire crew is captured, except for you (you hide, or are knocked out and go unnoticed, or something). The crew is forced aboard a transport which goes back to the attacker's ship. Somehow, the crew manage to destroy the attacker's ship, but unfortunately themselves along with it. Whether they blew up a bomb they had snuck onboard, or overpowered the transport crew and crashed into the enemy ship, I can't recall.
Now it's down to you to explore your ship and piece together the mystery, possibly to get it running again.
That's all I recall, unfortunately.

Yeah, that's the one, thanks a lot! Although it would be really hard to make me feel more stupid, I have no idea why it didn't occur to me that the game itself might be called Aro. Now I have to go to write down 100 times that "I should think and google before I post" :)

No problem.;)
Are the cookies similar? From Your description the second game was an educational title, perhaps search the mobygames database for Mac edu games. I had no luck, though i didn't do an intensive search, i've learned of the existence of Berenstain Bears games, Fatty Bear games, but they don't really fit the description at first glance. Good luck!:)

No, the game with the cookies are harder to find. For starters, I don't the TITLE of the game. :) It's definitely not the ones that you've mentioned, I have done some searching before, but the problem is that I only remember that one scene from the whole thing. I'll keep looking though, you never know what you come across online.
