Triggers some of my favorite childhood memories of my father. I occasionally watch LetsPlays just to feel those memories again. Would love to have the actual game working. Insta-buy.

One of the first games I ever bought. Not sure I ever beat it. Would love to have it to play again. Please make it happen. I need 160 characters but I'm not there yet. Tia taerereeeeea
This game came with a multimedia pack our family got with a computer back in the 90s. I think it might have been a Macintosh performa, but not 100% sure of that. I have such fond memories of playing it and enjoying the puzzles and story and it was definitely a first dive into Sci-Fi genre when I was a young boy. Bring it back please! I would love to play it again.

Clouds & Sheep
Clouds & SheepThey're cute, they're fluffy and they love to play! Care for a flock of adorable little sheep in this excessively cute and charming sandbox game! The fluffy and sweet balls of wool love it when you play and interact with them. Adorable as they may be, they´re not very smart. If there's a poisonous mushroom, they'll eat it. When the sun is shining, they'll just stand there until they have a heatstroke - and when the weather turns bad, they'll happily stand under thunderclouds and rain until they catch a cold or get struck by thunder and lightning. If you keep them healthy and entertained, they'll reward you with Happy Stars and make lots of little black and white baby sheep.

Shrek 2
Shrek 2Game based on the second movie, developed by the makers of Vigilante 8. Shrek is on a journey to meet his in-laws, so Shrek 2 follows his adventure to Far Away Land and the chaos that ensues once Fiona's parents learn that their precious daughter is an ogre -- and is married to the crudest of them all. Shrek 2 features a mixture of puzzle solving and enemy bashing. Players are able to control one of four characters at any given time -- swapping between them at will. Each character has a set of basic attack moves and a special ability. Donkey has a "Burro Blast" that can knock down large objects, Shrek can pick up and throw heavy objects, and Fiona -- in a nod to her fight scene in the first movie -- can slow down time, Matrix-style.
