A game featuring this little dude.
By entering commands such as "forward 50", then "right 45", an then "forward 25" it does this
and from here, you can create any type of art
It's from the Logo Foundation and it's essentially an educational bit of programming that mixes math, computer commands, and art. Might not be a game per se, since it's kind of like etchasketch with computer commands. But I would play the shit out of it when I was a tiny thing. Except I would put huge numbers in it and the turtle would go blasting off the screen. I seem to remember it being in color though.
I'm hoping that someone else has played this as well. I've been looking for any information on this for a very long time and I finally found it tonight while thinking of something I could add to the thread.

Not interested in playing the thread game, but I want to test the water and see if any muddaf*cker here knows this PoS:
One of my favorites! How dare you!
Monster's Inc. Scream Arena on the Gamecube

My little sister owned it. I did not have too much fun with this game.

I think mods are a bit cop-out, aren't they? At least say the name.

It's Day Hard. I don't think it's super-obscure.

As Sartre noted in his contemplation on Hell in No Exit, the true horror is other members.
Let's Explore The Airport! with Buzzy
Pretty sure I'm only gonna be able to win this with kid's games from PC...
Not with that one, you're not.
ShadowFlare
-Episode-Four/Ep4.JPG)
I still haven't met anyone that played this.
Actually played the first episode of ShadowFlare way back when.

You have sparked a dim memory in me somewhere. I'm pretty sure we fucked around with this on Apple II's in grade school.
EDIT: You found the info? Post me a link. The "Right 25" was the angle, right? Dude.
Now we have a contender!
No R for me.
How'd you like it? I'm watching a vid about it on youtube, and I'm loving the nostalgia cheese.
Edit: Look at those beautiesssss!!
Two more...
One is the Gamecube port of the Kururin series, which is one of my favorite underplayed gems... It only came out in Japan and was one of three import GC games I got (the other two are Doshin the Giant and the great Mr. Driller port with all of the extra modes). Nowhere near as wonderful as the all-time great Kururin Paradise on GBA, but definitely worthy!
Second, I'll offer Future Classics Collection, as a test of whether or not it lives up to its name! This came out in the early 90s on PC. It was a set of 5 arcade puzzle games.
Lost N Maze was my favorite.

- DiskMan: Backup your computer disks; collect as many disks as you can, avoiding all hazards along the way and inserting the disks into the disk drive to open the exit to the next level.
- Tankbattle: Work your way across a battlefield to capture the opposing coat of arms to open the exit to the next level. Avoid turrets, bombs, and other obstacles.
- Lost 'N Maze: Quickly travel through the corridors of the maze until you locate the keys to the exit. Collect various power-ups and bonus points along the way.
- Diet Riot: Put all the junk food stores out of business by having your man gather all the food crates for each store and throw them in the dumpster. Beware of junk food -- eating it slows you down and threatens you with a heart attack; you can "work out" using the exercise equipment to speed back up, as well as eating healthy food.
- Blockalanche: An isometric-view Tetris clone, with the differences of being able to select your next piece (if you're quick enough) and being only able to rotate your block around one access
Lost N Maze was my favorite.

I don't think it's exactly the same software you used, but using a drawing library like this is a common technique in teaching programming. I came across it in this book on Python.

Both of you...I don't like you.
Oldest game I can remember. Hell, it probably was my very first video game. Played on a 3 1/2" floppy, and even though no computer can physically read it, I still have that disk.
Fuck, nostalgia is killing me even with this...
S
Played the heck out of this... I can still remember the theme song that played at the start. I liked how you switched from the overworld to the close-up of the tooth haha.

Yep, that was the command for angles. Quite interesting how this started as a mechanical turtle
Ooh, interesting. I'll have to read up a bit more on this then.
Oh yeah, Logo! My dad had downloaded it for me when I was a kid, so I could learn some programming. Sadly I couldn't be bothered to learn it properly.A game featuring this little dude.

My first game for the thread would be B-Hunter. I loved this game, but I've never heard any discussions about it.
Claw was a great game! It was as hard as it was good, and I only beat it thanks to the god mode cheat.

From the OP:
So no, Day Hard doesn't count. Premise of the mod looks interesting.

Anyone play Sorcerian? It was on the PC, released by Sierra... Only much later did I recognize it as an early Falcom game...
Looks close to the style of "The Bards Tale"
It was actually an action RPG, similar to the NES game Faxanadu, except you got to control a party of 4.
Here's the PC Engine version:

Never saw anyone talk about it, ever. It's rare to find anything about it, too.

Not many people here have played these, and even among those that have, they probably don't want to admit it.
Oh yeah, and my first FPS:

Lol, indeed sir!
I played it on Sega channel.Let's try... Art Alive. Actually a fairly entertaining title for a kid, plus it had Sega characters in it.

Jewel Master for the Genesis/Mega Drive
Awesome action game where you could wear rings and combine them to create new abilities.
As you got more and more rings the combinations became more awesome.
On top of that, the game had a pretty awesome OST:

Went to computer trade shows with my Dad when younger, so I've probably played some old, strange stuff. Pity I don't know where my copy of this disk is anymore...
