I’m looking for strange/interesting/obscure PC games. Could be anything from Windows, DOS, Mac OS (old school), PC-98, Amiga, or whatever else I’m missing there. Let’s hear ‘em!

Dilbert's Desktop Games!

It was surprisingly addictive, despite being universally panned at the time. It was also my first intro into the world of Dilbert, and I fell in love with characters and their catchphrases. The TV show was pretty good too.

Yeah, I know, shame about ~~Douglas Adams~~ Scott Adams (doh!)

Scott Adams, lol. Douglas Adams was the Hitchhiker's Guide guy.

Hey I remember this! There was a very specific computer, I think when I was in third or fourth grade, that had this and Spy Fox on it and I played the piss out of both of them while waiting for my mom to pick me up from school.

Please tell me you can hear the background music and the one-liner quips as clearly as I can:
