2 old 3d Windows games

Post by whiteraven30 »

Both games were on PC (Windows 95 or 98 or 2000, dont remember) but they both were 3d.

1st one: it was some 3d space breakout game where you were just an astronaut on a paddle near the bottom of each level that you could control with mainly your mouse mostly left to right and partly back, cuz I think you had a barrier preventing you from going too far into the "play space", and after your ball broke all the blocks/colored rectangles, you had to hit/bounce it into like a hole in one part or corner of the level. You also got power ups as per usual, like paddle extend and lasers. It also had pretty cool space backgrounds if i recall



Game 2: I swear it was called Like Sammy/Sammie the Salamander or some other animal that was on 2 feet, but, it was like a puzzle/adventure/platformer game (i dont really know), that you were traversing these desert/sandy boxed rooms/levels collecting different colored gems that you had to collect all of in a room to unlock the door to the next room/level. There were also enemies in it (cant remember what they looked like) i think, and you had like 3 or 4 hits til you went back to the start of the room/level..the gems were all over the place like a maze (like pac man) but 3rd person 3d like..

If anyone remembers any games like that, id love to remember what they were, thx..

It would be a good idea to make two separate threads for each game, as per the posting rules.

Hey White Raven. Your first game reminds me of the one I am searching for. This website prohibits me from posting links, so I invite you to read my post by searching through my account. Im keen to know your opinion.

Regarding your second game, I am certain that it is "Sammy Suricate", one of my childhood favorites.

The 'Sammy Suricate in Lion Land' is available as a demo here: https://archive.org/details/Sammysetup14
The developers website is down since 2018, but I note there were some physical CD releases, in Polish and German.
