This is the first game I played in December 1990 (I think...) on a PC, the first time I sat in front of a PC. Eastern Germany just crashed, Germany got reunited, and a lot of schools got PCs, so people could learn on those machines. Before that only a few people in Eastern Germany got access to a PC.
This game comes back to my mind anytime someone tries to arrange things in a tight space and doesn't give themselves the space they need to keep rearranging...
Seriously, this is a really good training opportunity for spacial housekeeping. You have boxes in a maze that need to be pushed into a specific pattern, but you can only push, not pull or otherwise drag, you can only push a single box, and you need to leave yourself enough space to move, too. Once a box is in a corner, it can never get out again, so think before you act.
The difficulty levels were actually really well balanced and increasing slowly as they should, teaching you some tactics and strategy on the way. The game does this really well, even by 2024 standard (based on my own memory, at least). The only thing that could have been better would have been extending the mechanics by adding different types of boxes, walls/floor ... the final levels are pretty complex but still combinations of the methods you learned in the earlier ones. :)
Ecco the Dolphin: Defender of the FutureAt the dawn of the 30th Century, dolphins and humans had been together in a cross-species society for 500 years. Together, they had set out to explore space, offering peace and friendship to all who would welcome it. But space had its dangers; a violent species known as the Foe decided to conquer Earth. However, the dolphins and humans drove them to the brink of defeat, and so the Foe sought vengeance on Earth. The few caretaker dolphins who had been left behind on Earth were not entirely defenseless; they were protected by their creation called the Guardian—a gigantic, sentient being made of a crystalline substance which projected a forcefield over the entire planet. Undeterred, the Foe made suicide attacks on the field, searching for a weak point.Action Science fiction

Dark EarthDark Earth is a post-apocalyptic action-adventure game for the PC.
Dark Earth takes place several centuries in the future, when a meteor collision with Earth tossed up great clouds of dust that blocked out the sun. Earth's remaining survivors began to seek refuge beneath small openings in the clouds, the few places light could be found. Those that remained in the 'dark earth' were hunted by strange creatures, infected with the darkness.
To shelter themselves from the dangerous 'dark earth', the people began to form cities beneath the light called 'Stallites'. At the time of the game, most of the citizens of the stallite have forgotten their history and now worship the light as a god. The stalites are run by 'Sun Priests', who maintain order and prevent the creatures of darkness from harming the city. The game follows the story of Arkhan, a "guardian of fire", protector of the stallite 'Sparta' and the Sun Priests.
After an attack on the sun priests, Arkhan has a poison thrown into his face that begins to infect him with the dark sickness. He begins to mutate into a creature of the dark and has to find a cure before his transformation is complete. Along the way, he is treated as an enemy by most of his former friends while he struggles to uncover the conspiracy behind the attack.Action Fantasy Historical Science fiction

Silent Hill 3Silent Hill 3 is the third installment in the Silent Hill series. Like the previous entries, Silent Hill 3 is a survival horror combining action-based combat and puzzle-solving, but is somewhat more combat-oriented than the preceding installments. The main character is able to side-step and block some attacks, but in general shares with the other protagonists of the series their relative ineptitude in combat.Trending Action Horror Science fiction Stealth Survival Mystery
