Probably the obscure shareware games I used to play in the early 2000s. Can't even remember the names of any of them or any details, but I remember they were all from one website and they had a kind of 16-bit aesthetic.
Along those lines, when game demos were more common I used to just go to the Infogrames website and play all the demos I could get my hands on. I distinctly remember playing this Max Steel game that does not seem to exist, since the only game I can find of that era never came out on PC and had totally different gameplay. The one I remember had at least sections of the game with top-down driving your knockoff Batmobile around and taking bad guys. I really only have two explanations:
Honestly, I should just go through that list on Infogrames because I'm almost certain it'll be on there. And if anyone can think of a game that fits description in the timeframe of around 1999-2002, definitely let me know!
I still have my Playstation Magazine Demo discs (and my Tomba demo disc despite never playing the full game, and the demo disc that came with my PS1). There are a fair few games I only ever played in demo form lol.
