100% my favourite childhood game, no doubts about it. The songs are masterpieces, the levels are amazing and it would be really great to be able to experience it again on modern hardware, the disk I played the game off of back in the day died a couple years back.
It's a childhood game of mine and one of my most memorable gaming memory. The game felt special, as the movement felt solid, and the each level bring something new. The split screen makes it even better to race with a friend, and 4 player brawl was a lot of fun. The game still age pretty well too. I was very much into marble race back then and this game delivers everything about it, and it brings memory to see this again.
I've spent hours upon hours racing my friends in this game when I was a kid. I still play this game once a couple weeks to this day, and I will never ever delete it. It's a great party game, full of wacky surprises on every race track, fun music, and timeless visual style that still looks good today.
This was one of my favorite PC games as a kid! I was never very good at it, but always had a great time with it nonetheless. I bought it on Big Fish Games, but BFG's DRM makes it very difficult to run on my Linux PC or Steam Deck.
I started playing just recently and I really like It, I got hooked immediately.
It's a difficult game but mastering It gives a big payoff!
I would love to see It easly available and visible for new possible players!
One of my 2 favorite childhood games (this and bejeweled) that are absolutely amazing and music composed by Skaven252 (Peter Hajba). Simple yet fitting cartoony art style!! Sky race and neon race are my favorite races. I hope you have good control with keyboard or mouse (maybe a large mouse pad too 😁) if you want to perfect this game. The sequel which is in development will have a level editor!!
the best game of the old childhood pc games that i loved to play it hamsterball will come back and im happy about that its really cool to know !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One of my all-time favorite/classic games for PC. Ricochet, Platypus and HamsterBall are Old-School Gaming Gems! I still remember playing Up Race back in the day in the demo version and cried for the first time I was able to play Neon Race after purchase. Rodent Rumble is amazing and there are family memories that'll remain forever from this great game! All hail HamsterBall!
Clearly up there with one of my biggest childhood games. Its crazy how I've even managed to get through this game. Its clearly not easy but as a small goofball I clearly made it through.
Charming graphically, with a unique visual style... Playing this as a child, the incredible soundtrack would help play a part in shaping my taste of music for the rest of my life. The hamster deserves to be seen, the music deserves to be heard.

Lufia II: Rise of the SinistralsLufia II: Rise of the Sinistrals serves as a prequel to Lufia & the Fortress of Doom, unfolding its events ninety-nine years before. The narrative delves into the origins of the series' antagonists, the Sinistrals, a group of super-humans. Players take on the role of the ancestor of Maxim, the protagonist from the first game, as he embarks on a quest after encountering Iris, a mysterious woman. Maxim seeks other heroes to join forces in preventing the Sinistrals from wreaking havoc and destroying the world.
Like its predecessor, Rise of the Sinistrals follows the Japanese-style turn-based RPG format with an infusion of puzzle elements. The game incorporates intricate puzzles into its dungeon designs, requiring players to use various items and accessories for solving. Additionally, it introduces the "Capsule Monsters" system, allowing summoned monsters to participate in battles. These creatures evolve through the consumption of weapons, armour, or special fruits. Unlike the first game, dungeons in Rise of the Sinistrals lack random battles, with enemies visibly moving on-screen.Fantasy

Alien LogicIn the 21st century, human beings have all but destroyed their home planet Earth. Surviving humans found a shelter on a planet called Jorune. A civil war errupted, humans fighting the indigenous population; eventually, peace was achieved, and the various races found a way to co-exist with each other... all except one. The Shantha, one of the most ancient and powerful races on Jorune, adepts at the magical art of Isho, were not satisfied with the shape the planet has taken. 3500 years later, one of them, known as the Red Shantha, began attacking human settlements. The hero of the game is one of the villagers who have survived Red Shantha's attack. Having found the way to master Isho, the hero must rescue his friends and explore the planet, searching for the source of evil.
Alien Logic is based on the Skyrealms of Jorune role-playing system. The player takes control of one character; there is no party in the game. While there is a story to follow, much of the game is open-ended, dedicated to exploring Jorune, searching for items, precious crystals (which increase the hero's parameters), and fighting enemies. The exploration mode uses a side-scrolling perspective; the player can switch to combat mode when an enemy is nearby. Combat takes place on the same screen as exploration, and is action-based. Combat relies heavily on magic (Isho); casting spells deplete the Isho bar. Spell sequences are called dyshas, which can be offensive or defensive. Preparing dysha combinations beforehand and then using them on the enemies (by clicking on them) is an essential combat strategy.Action Fantasy Science fiction
Silent Hill 3Silent Hill 3 is the third installment in the Silent Hill series. Like the previous entries, Silent Hill 3 is a survival horror combining action-based combat and puzzle-solving, but is somewhat more combat-oriented than the preceding installments. The main character is able to side-step and block some attacks, but in general shares with the other protagonists of the series their relative ineptitude in combat.Trending Action Horror Science fiction Stealth Survival Mystery
