Toy Story Activity Center
Toy Story Activity Center
Thought this was something I played at a friend's house back in the day, but I unfortunately don't recall this being the same Toy Story game I played. Was a pretty fun time waster regardless with some cool puzzles, I actually really liked the dumb boombox at Sid's house.

Honestly? Pretty damn breathtaking how it wouldn't look out of place next to the movie itself.

Torus Trooper
Torus Trooper
PEW PEW!!!! WHOOSH ZOOM!!!!!
Total Annihilation
Total Annihilation
Probably one of the first 3D RTS games. Every unit feels as heavy and sluggish as a fully loaded garbage truck. (very complimentary)

There's like fifty different things for every purpose, and feels like a base turtling wet dream. I like base building, more games should have it.
Vampire Chronicle For Matching Service

Pong: The Nexter Level

The world's funniest stick of measurement, tilting everyone off the face of the earth with it's existence on here.

No really, I adore this game.
Majesty: The Fantasy Kingdom Sim
Majesty: The Fantasy Kingdom Sim
May as well include it on here. I boot this up on Steam like every few weeks just to fart about in Freestyle, it's supremely comfy to me when I need to kill time. One day I'll do a review, maybe.....who knows.

It's one of those "charming" type games.
Mega Man X: Project Zero
Mega Man X: Project Zero
I love my friends so much.

I still think it's hilarious that this game is permanently screwed up on here, thanks to them defaulting to the arcade game for the original page.

Local pizza chef flips out and craters a tower of some kind.

Pretty much the only reason this isn't number one is because I give an advantage to newer games.
