Yes :) The birds mark a spot where you can do a leap of fate.

Watch this video if you haven't already, it's hilarious. "See? Maaagic!"

Hooray! I thought that was the leap of faith lol. Okay I suppose it's my go now.
I am a young man in red armor. I have been looking for the black monster that killed my parents. I prefer the use of a sword.

Hmm, Red Guard?

Nope. Second hint. Oh no upon returning to where I live, the village has been destroyed and they took my girl to a prison.

Another hint!
My name is Dart. The girl they imprisoned is Shana. The name of the prison they took her to is Helena.

The Legend of Dragoon

Yes indeed! Easily one of my all time favorites!

No time to think of one right now, someone else may post one.

I'll take over then:

_Help! I need to make methane gas to finish the level (in fact it's the only task on this level), but I don't know how. Can anyone please help me?

SpaceChem or Sokobond but I guess the former...

No... It is much older. Sokobond looks similar to it though; enough to be considered a clone.

All right, I had to google this one.
Is it Atomix?

Yes! I have a pc version of the original.

I've never seen it, much less played it. Which reminds me, concerning the question asked above: of the games featured in this thread I played a half or a little less. I've never played any console exclusives although I used Youtube to make up for it in some cases. I own (or owned until disks got misplaced) and played all of the games I chose for my questions, some on GOG, others on Steam or on physical media.

Now for the next one.
"How long have I been drinking? I can't remember. I sometimes wonder if it's still blood that runs through my veins or some exotic cocktail to which I've been adding new ingredients day after day. The spirits help me ease the pain, chase away the voices from my past.
Huh? Where do I need to go? And what then, save somebody? Fine by me. Oh wait, I know her, she's that woman from my past! Something's telling me my days of idle drinking are going to end soon."

This sounds extremely familiar, but I don't seem to remember where I heard this. Care to give another clue?
