The first game is almost definitely Disney's GameBreak! The Lion King II: Simba's Pride: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7sNtvlRUAc I used to play this with my sister all the time as a kid :). I can't help you with the second game, although it sounds vaguely familiar...

Thank you for the helpful suggestion! Unfortunately, it wasn't the game I was looking for... I wish I could find the original demo disc I played this game on (but I believe my parents have disposed of that years ago). Sometimes I wonder whether my young mind made up half the details, as no one...

I am re-posting this as I still haven't managed to figure out which game is haunting my memory. The game came on an early 2000's European PC game magazine demo disc. It could have been PCGamer, PCZone or a Finnish PC game magazine. What I remember is something like this: You start out...

The second game could possibly be Police Quest, which was also released by Sierra and around the same time as Leisure Suit Larry. Here's a link to a review on Abandonia: http://www.abandonia.com/en/games/125/Police+Quest+-+In+Pursuit+of+the+Death+Angel.html The game has several sequels...

"3) at start of the game, the detective guy was at cafe i think, and clown with bomb came in and blewed something up, or something like that. I remember the detective read that in paper, or saw that." This last part sounds an awful lot like the first Broken Sword game. I believe it was...

I've just spent the whole night trying to figure out a demo of a game I played in my childhood. For some reason I've been getting flashbacks to it lately, and not knowing the name is driving me mad. My vague memory of it involves a camp in a desert-like environment. It was an action-adventure...

I'd say Psychonauts, I loved every second of it. Also, Monkey Island 1, 2 and 3. I've replayed them so many times, I can remember the solutions to the puzzles in my sleep, yet for some reason, I still keep going back to them... probably to laugh at the witty humour all over again. Apart...

Very well, perhaps you simply misunderstood my use of the word then. I meant to use it to imply "lack of knowledge". However, your refusal to read my post, and then assuming that my intention was to have everyone agree with me, is willful ignorance. That strikes me as a hasty judgement. How...

The "insult" was supposed to be ironic. I was turning the tables on someone who had insulted their friends and generically grouped weed users into a stereotypical category. I personally have no reason to insult anyone on these forums, no matter how bigoted their views, since I don't know anyone...

Judging by the literary quality of your post, I'd say alcohol has done much more damage to your brain than you assume. Do I sound harsh? Well, think of it as a heated, frustrated response to your superficial judgement and assumption that these "far-out" friends of yours were "brain-damaged"...

This series has got to be one of my favourite features (one of the funniest, for sure) on the Escapist, keep up the good work Shamus! :)
