Oh wow! You're completely right! It was a "ZX Spectrum +2" according to Wikipedia. Haha, I mightn't have found the game, but at least I'm one step closer. Thank you! I'll have a look at the games it had.

this thing?

And here's an archive of games:

EDIT: Some games that might fit

If you plan on actually looking through the WOS archive... well, good luck. I've done a quick scan on "knight" and "castle", and none of the games (that had screenshots anyway) looked like yours. Let's see if "quest" turns something up...

[Pakhawaj]

Thank you both very much, I'm looking through the archives now! I'm using ZXSpectrum.net so I can open the games up and see if they're what I am thinking of.
It must have been an early game, because some of these games' graphics are far better than what I can remember.
Also, there wasn't any castle. If that helps at all!

Edit: I think the game might have been "Sir Lancelot", except the graphics in this game look much better and I don't remember any collectables. I think I might remember playing as "Lancelot" though and the knight's model looks very familiar... But he's not pink which is the thing which I remember clearly. I don't know. You'd think if it was the game I was thinking of it'd be recognisable to me instantly.

Edit2: I think it must have been "Sir Lancelot", it fits so much of what I can remember and I can't find any other games where you play as a jumping knight who has to reach an exit.
It's not as fun as I can remember, but thank you for reminding me of my Spectrum! There are so many fun games for this thing.

I played a demo of a game a long time ago, sometimes around 2002.
It was an RTS, some dark fantasy setting or something, i think it had a dark in it's name or something, you started with this large building and you could build others, i think there was a sawmill for producing some troops, i remember water as being important, you would build this tower thing on a spring or something and it would "beam" the collected water to the maing building using some sort of ring on top.I also remember that the menus were rather stylish, every submenu had a nice icon, some sort of sandbox that was called experimenting had a little glass beaker with something in it.

Not a game...but a youtube comedy series.

The episodes were mostly of superman and batman sitting in a coffee shop talking to each other.

It's referenced at the end of this video, and it's often parodied, for example in this episode of "I'm a Marvel, and I'm a DC."

But I'm having difficult finding the original videos that the above are parodying.

There was a casino game I remember playing on the SNES. If I remember correctly, you choose one person to be sort of your advisor(I don't think their advice was ever any good). There were a couple of casinos you could go to, but the last one was locked until you reach $1 million, and you beat the game when you hit $1 billion.

I also remember it had random events, one of which was a shifty guy offering to sell you either a Folex watch or a diamond, which you could sell in another event that happens a little while later. I remember the diamond was almost always a fake, but the watch was more often than not real, thus profiting you.

Alright this game was made probably around the late 90s, it was a Sherlock Holmes game, and the only thing I can say about it is that the disk was yellow and I think I remember there being picture of someone dead on the disk. I can't say anything about the gameplay because it never worked but I'd like to play it now and see what it was like. (It was a PC game by the way)

Ok, this one has been bothering me for a couple of days now, it was a strategy game, kinda oldish, I thought it was called "one of the enemy" but apparently not, the story involved an alliance of races fighting against a species that extracts fuel from the bodies of alliance races, it had high ground, and you flew in units, and you could take experienced units with you to the next map... Any ideas?

Man, like a month later, but just in case the vague suggestions given in response to this wasn't enough to find it again, I re-stumbled across the place I first found it: http://playthisthing.com/i-enemy

Pretty nice game, all told, and was fairly difficult for as far as I got into it. And free, so hey. No reason not to grab it up for a try.

Two games, one easier then the other.

First game is a horror for the PC in which you play a person trapped in a security room, you guide characters through rooms on this ship/base using light sources, viewing them through monitors using security cameras.

Second game is a little harder, this one was an old PS game (possibly PS2), it was a Japanese game (as in Final Fantasy or Yakuza as opposed to Mass Effect or Half Life) where you where in a town, had the ability to travel around in time, and you had to solve this big mystery before it was too late, again it was a horror esque game, but not Silent Hill.

[Akura]

First one almost sounds life Lifeline, but that's a PS2 game, and you use your voice(over a headset), to guide *one* stupid, dumb twat person around.

[aireoth]

Nope, not lifeline, it was a PC game, controlled by the mouse.

Experience112 (aka The Experiment)?

hmmmmm.
An old game I found on an orange? freeware disk.

It was about knocking enemies off the stage, which was a map of grey rectangles surrounded by the.. void?

You were a ball, they were a ball, and it was really tough, especially on later levels.
There was at least a couple large enemies that hardly moved when bounced upon.

if I remember correctly, there wasn't any power ups, and the floor started falling out from under you.

Like some sort of ancient predecessor to Sumo Blitz.

[Flaede]

Anyone heard this one?
