Nah. Wrong gen, DAH has like 3x as many polys as I remember this game having.

I've asked about this game over a dozen times on various places and i've basically accepted a very low chance anyone will know what it is, but here goes.
It was a PC 2d space game, all art was colored connected straight lines(or a circular curve, for planets) with all black otherwise (no filled shapes). You'd spawn on a planet that took up about half the screen size on a landing pad with other buildings around the surface of the planet, your ship was probably a triangle. Ship controls were basically asteroids (up to thrust forward, left/right to turn, some shoot button), but the 2d viewport followed your ship as you moved. Stuff taking damage would have it's lines flash some rainbow colors. Upon taking off, you'd notice very strong gravity and probably crash within a few seconds, playing near planets or trying to land was rediculously hard but it was the only way to repair/capture planets i think. Basically it was a large map with many planets, boxy trade convoys and AI wars happening. If you wanted to attack a planet you'd have to do some crazy bullshit and try to orbit without crashing while also shooting at the planet's defense structures and stuff, and there were AI spaceships that would come attack your planets, i think allied ships would spawn too.
Context was sometime before 2006~ i was playing this game on an unmarked disk on someone else's computer so basically the only requirement is a release date before 2006. No other info.
I've been looking for this game for years, to no avail.
It was a pc puzzle game, I believe on floppy disc, that involved computer bugs that escaped from the recycle bin on the computer, and you had to guide them back into the bin. I swear the title was something like Yoinks! or Zounds! or something like that, but nothing I've searched turns up results.
The bugs in question looked something like this:

As you can imagine, trying to search for a game about "computer bugs" returns so many false positives it's disgusting, so I've never found anything about it.
For the life of me I wish I could find it again. Diamonds and eternal gratitude to whoever finds it.
There was this browser game I played at one point, it was like entirely text based but was a life-sim where you played your character from birth to death. I remember the website was black, but beyond that nothing.
It wasn't, I actually found the one I was thinking of though: Alter Ego.
Nope! Thanks for trying, though. I've basically given up on finding this, haha.
Similar but was purely marbles and had a much more industrial steampunk look to it.
I FOUND IT!

a medieval point and click game in 2D that looked a bit like old indiana jones games. You had thief/fighter/mage classes but that didn't change the appearance of your dude.
and at some point there was some evil octopus skull thingie hanging above a fireplace and it'd drop on your face or something.
Okay, I have another that I know how it looked, but not it's name.
It's about rivaling construction companies. If "Two Protagonists vs. a whole lot of mook builders" can be called that. The aim of the game is to build walls over more segments than your enemies(there are 4 floors each having 8 segments, totaling 32 segments). Enemies will also try to build walls, and they will also try to stop you. Among jumping, you can attack by throwing some kind of cleaner liquid(don't ask), and you can also attack enemies on the floor above you by ramming ceiling. You can also attack enemies goomba style.
The Protagonists are generic buff builder dude in white sleeveless and jeans, wearing hardhat, color-coded as blue; and some cheapie in turban and green coat. There are 5 estates to build in, each with various hazards(except first one, where the only threat are aforementioned enemies) each estate has 10 levels, and of course, there's boss in the final level of each(I even remember the first one, it's some biker dude).
Just like in any other arcade game, there are bonuses to collect. Red Hammer make you throw, obviously, hammer instead of cleaner liquid, Yellow Star makes it so you damage enemies by touching them instead of other way around, Green Boots increase your speed and allow you to hard brake regardless of friction(one estate has slippery oil spilled all over the floor), and a blue one, I don't know what it is and what it was supposed to do.
That's all I know.
There's two games that I'd really like to know the names of. I can't remember much, because I was just a wee lad back then, but I'll give it a shot.
The first one was a bit like Heroes of Might and Magic, but it was 3D. May have been around the same time as Heroes of Might and Magic 4 - 2002 or 2003, perhaps. I believe it was turn based and you controlled a summoner of some sort. I remember a snowy map that had mobs on it and whenever you fought them, you (I can't remember this part that much) summoned your creatures to fight the enemies and there were kobolds and skeletons and centaur-y creatures. The only thing that's really stuck in my head is that your summoner had this horn and he would blow it to summon a creature (or perhaps cast a spell). That's the only thing that I'm 100% sure of.
The second game was... actually, I remember even less of it than of the first game. It was 3D too, I'm not sure if it was fully 3D or if the characters were 2D sprites (The graphics were something between Crusaders of Might and Magic and Jedi Knight 2). I remember you were a paratrooper and you dropped into some sort of valley and at least one type of the enemy was a medieval knight with a shield but they were also wielding submachine guns, lol.
I'm not even sure if the second game even exists, I may have mixed up a bunch of games.
