Okay here goes:
I used to play this on my dad's computer as a kid (not that I understood anything of it)
It's a 2D game (rather low resolution), and you play as this tall (or maybe skinny) guy with red/orange spiky hair or dreadlocks or something.
I remember a loading screen being an image of the shockwave logo where the bars would be coloured in as it loaded.
I think the main character has a dog, but I can't remember if it follows you around or if it just sits there. I think it's rather large and brown though.
I seem to remember something about the game taking place in a red environment (possibly on Mars or somewhere else in space).
There was a space rocket involved as well, I think. Sort of shaped like this, but white and with a round window in the middle.
It might have been a lucasarts game, but of that I am not sure in the slightest.

There was an album I was looking for 'Catch' by 'Catch'. It was only released in Singapore for a short period before being deleted. I had scoured ebay/CD websites/CD shops every avenue you can think of for this album, I couldn't find it anywhere.
Someone on youtube posted a couple of songs by 'Catch'. I wrote a comment about how difficult the album was to get a couple of days ago. I got a message the next day offering to email me a compressed copy, the man/woman is a legend and inexplicably generous.
p.s. I know 'The Escapist' has a strict policy on discussing piracy, I own both of Catch's CD singles (both CD 1 and CD 2) and the tape versions of the singles but the album has eluded me. If the oppurtunity arises I will buy a copy.

Or perhaps Jak 3. Jak 3 had cars as the main method of transport, and opened with Jak and Daxter in the desert after they were exiled from Haven City.thefrizzlefry said:
I got an interesting one!
When I was like 11 (am 24 nao) there was a game out on the Playstation one. Its name (obviously) eludes me but the vague clues I can provide consist of:
You fought by animating dolls that came to life and did special moves. One of them iirc was a small doctor who would steal enemy life and convert it to mana for you .
I owned it when I was younger but got rid of it because I wanted FF8 and got that by mistake (my older sister got it for me not knowing,) and now I actually regret not having held onto it as the concept has me intrigued.

I have two; they're both fighting games from the PS1 era. It would be easy to remember, I'm usually pretty good at that, but both titles were Japanese.
The first one was a polygon ring fighter where one of the characters was a girl with white(ish) hair in a ponytail. I remember there was some kind of projectile move, but I can't be much more specific than that. There was also a single player mode where you went into a cave (or labyrinth?) where, to defeat enemies, you had to go a couple of rounds with them in traditional fighting style.
The second game was a 2D fighting game. One of the characters had an orange trenchcoat, and there was a very large (obese) character, who was easily twice the height of all the others. I remember his body type, as his stomach was swollen into a sphere like a balloon.
I played this at daycare, back when I was ~8 years old.
Thanks for any ideas anyone has!

Oh please tell me you're thinking of "Britt Allcroft's Magic Adventures of Mumfie". I loved it as a kid and would love to get my hands on the series.BanicRhys said:
I couldn't find a pic of the whale with the portholes, but that's Mumfie and his flying pig friend.
Oh, yes. I think that's it! If it isn't, I'm pretty sure I've watched before.fletch_talon said:Oh please tell me you're thinking of "Britt Allcroft's Magic Adventures of Mumfie". I loved it as a kid and would love to get my hands on the series.BanicRhys said:

Thank you.
I'm afraid I have no idea what any of the unsolved questions are, but I'm going to post mine anyway. I'm also going to be a rebel and post a book.
It was about a man who slowly faded from reality into a sort of alternate limbo reality, where everything was grey, and he couldn't touch anything. As if he were a ghost. It happened slowly, with people paying less and less attention to him, and things getting greyer and greyer.
I remember him meeting other people in the limbo; a man with an accordion (I think), and a woman. I also remember them finding the occasional item that had colour, like an orange or a towel, that they could interact with.
I read this book when I was in primary school and loved it, but I cannot for the life of me recall what it is.
Also, the book cover may have been a monsters hand holding the planet; but that makes no sense considering the story, and is most likely a false memory from something else.
