I am pleased to say that I have had two game titles found already thanks to this Thread, and I'm really happy about that!
I have compiled another post listing more games I'm looking for uvu I have once again drawn little pictures to accompany my descriptions, because i'm not really good at explaining things accurately, especially considering that this next batch is a far more hazy memory of mine than the last 3 I have asked about. I'd appreciate any help!

I have shown two screens there, although I'm not sure both illustrate the same game. Maybe they do illustrate one game, but maybe the second 'screen' is from a different game.
I remember a game i played most certainly for a ps1/psx. It was a strategy game similar to Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 or Age of Empires in gameplay, in a 3d setting where you commanded a team of trolls / goblins and viewed the field from the bird's view (but this is definitely not World of Warcraft), slightly at 'not directly viewing from the top' angle. I remember specifically that in your arsenal there could be sludges ( i tried to illustrate them) which you could move just like other units. I remember most of all that you could somehow locally play against one other person on the same screen, like in racing games the screen was split into two and you could peek into the field of the other player. I played often with my brother. Our teams were always colored red and green. That is however, all i can remember u_u the second image is a very vague memory. Maybe it was from the same game, maybe it was not. I remember a screen where you could select opposing strengths of some sort? I remember being impressed at seeing two identical beings in the center of the screen, but them always being in red or green colors. Maybe dragons? Maybe something else. If it was from another game than that goblin strategy game, then I most certainly didn't play it myself.

I have searched for one game so intensively I think i actually found it, it being called Age of Mythology (a strategy game). It fits everything I would otherwise write here as memories - having dragons, unicorns and scouting crows as units, dragons being a flying and fire breathing unit that was meant for taking down buildings and it was possible to only make a limited number of these units. And that this game has a map editing feature and the ability to befriend wild animals you find throughout the map and turn them into your team's units. However, I just find it hard to believe that the game I remember i adored playing so so much, played it so often I memorized every frame concerning the dragons because it was like my most favorite detail, is actually Age of Mythology where the only dragons are Nidhoggs that look like this
http://file1.npage.de/004471/51/bilder/nidhogg.gif
my image at the top shows an old toy I made during the years i played the game that may be similar to the Nidhogg, but I remember it truly different from Nidhogg on screen. It had a much more different flight pattern and looked different. The dragon I remember didn't have horns and had a wing shape exactly like in my toy. Much paler color for the body too.
But, of course.. maybe my memory is just failing me? But at the time i played that game I was already full force into my life favorite and nostalgic game, Spyro the Dragon. I loved dragons then, and I can firmly say i stared at the dragons in that strategy game so much i think I'd at least deem Nidhogg familiar-looking if i truly saw it looking like that. But it seems completely foreign to me.
So. My main concern. Is there a chance of another game existing that is not Age of Mythologies and yet sounds like something fitting? Or was there a possible mod for Age of Mythologies that made Nidhogg look different? If no one here can think of anything, then it could be my memory is failing me after all, and the dragon I loved so much was actually Nidhogg after all. Another detail that may help is that I know the game i played was certainly for Windows 98, and the launch icon of the game looked like a grey castle's metal gate, like the one i drew above.
So sorry this description is so confusing and long.

Another hazy memory, but the mystery of my whole life.
I remember in some game there was either an artwork image or maybe a scenery in the credits that looked like what I drew. I also at some point thought it could be a scenery from an animated movie. I don't really know much about it, all I know is that I definitely saw this at some point somewhere, and i don't remember where, and I just must know. I thought for years that i could have seen it in a dream, but then I found an old doodle I drew (which i recreated into the digital image above from scratch) which means either i liked the dream so much that i drew it, or that it actually existed. I feel like I saw it in the credits of some game most strongly.
If you know where this might be from, be it a game or a movie, please let me know ;u; sorry this isn't exactly on topic, as it's just be searching from where this came from, and it could not even be a game.
May I also ask if there is another thread on these forums that is the same as this thread, only for movies? If there is, could i please be directed to it? I'd appreciate it so much!

It was a strange arcade game I had on a very very very old Laptop with Windows 98 installed to it. You played as a little blue and white striped ball who would have to "ride" through a maze of sorts, that was checkered dark red and black. I think once you made it go in one direction it could not stop until it hit a wall, so it was sort of a think before you act kind of game, and I'm sure there had to be walls scattered about the field and other obstacles which would be your inevitable demise if you ran into them. I'm not sure the electric generator-like things were around the edges, but I remember the game was pretty difficult for me (at least at the age I was in) and I was afraid to run into the walls at the very edges of the field, so they were probably dangerous.
