Hello 
. New here.
Got this on my mind for some time. Played this game in 2003/2004. I suspect the game is older as is made part of a "multigame cd" (which i can't remember the name) with some titles like "hundry snake 2". This one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x0eAkQzmiU4
As the game itself, I remind that it was a level based shoot'em up. We would start with 3 space ships that could fire as we pressed space. They would dispose on a circle, on the screen, and could be rotated with arrow keys. Asteroids and other space artifacts like meteors would spawn in middle and would expand as the level went by. I'm almost sure it made reference to NASA and presented some (fake i think) astronauts in the main menu, but can be my mind playing tricks. The space ships were all unique. One was reddish.

I was remembering my childhood and then this one game got stuck in my head, his icon was a Blue Butterfly. I couldn't play since i got the Windows XP Update (Mistakes were made) i didn't know the Compatible Mode because i was a child...
- I played at around 2002-2003 (Bought a magazine with CD in my country that got this game, not sure if it was PC GAMER or not)
Some of the aspects of the game are:
- You start at a house that gets wrecked by some robot (wich is the boss of the stage)
- The first boss is a Robot Orange (or red) fish
- The second boss is a Robot Yellow Armadillo
- You can recruit soldiers
- It's a platform shooter game that has some Mechs
- You can recruit soldiers, robots and people
- there was WC cabins in game that you could save game by going in them
Please help, my childhood needs you guys!

there was a racing game either on ps2 or ps1 that i used to play, it was a car racing game, between races you could drive thru the city and go into houses and talk to the cars that lived there. you could do side missions and well like mini games and stuff. one mini mission i remember was to go into a haunted house and avoid the "ghost cars" ive wanted to find this game again for a long time, someone please help!
Not exactly a "find the name" - but a "place the scene to the name".
I rememember either watching my sister find this (less likely), or coming across it myself (more likely). It's, iirc, a primarily black and yellow area that contains a bunch of fleshy pod-type things containing unhatched, non-friendly aliens. I seem to remember the portion of the area that wasn't fleshy was primarily black and yellow, somewhat metallic. The pods may have been partially metallic themselves. They were at the far left of the area which you could go to, just basically a wall of alien "eggs" I suppose you'd call them. I am faaaaairly sure this was an area in The Daedalus Encounter as I seem to remember Ari mentioning something about needing to get out of there before the aliens hatch out (maybe? Don't recall exactly what she said, but it WAS her speaking.) They never hatch out as long as you're there, as far as I remember. (This part I am not sure of and it's highly likely I just imagined it - you can come back after they hatch out and see the ends of the pods "exploded" open, the hatchlings no longer there.)
I do not, however, remember seeing the "inside-of-a-machine" HUD style the game is known for, but I was never much for noticing that kind of thing as a wee bub.
Am I confusing this with another game from round the same time period, or was it in fact The Daedalus Encounter?

Much appreciated.i remember this one mathematical/problem solving games, which involves helicopter(player). And u click the box for the direction the helicopter heading in order to reach the finish line. after u click the box, u will need to solve the maths questions or solve problems in order for u to move to the next box. sometimes u will be against the computer for some challenge which varies from solving questions to use the tank and shoot the tank (computer) to others. Does anyone knows the title of the game please? It would be brilliant if u know of the game

Looking for an old PC platform game!
I remember the game was 2D and the character we played was a guy with brown hair and he had to rescue his girlfriend or something who was kidnapped I think. It was a platform game and rather adventurous, you had to collect fruit as you made your way and there was quite a bit of jumping and running. It was a colorful game.
Please let me know if you have an idea!
