I believe it was called "Cogmind".

Yup, seems like Cogmind to me.

On my 8th birthday...maybe 7th or 9th, I had this 'Kids 2000 Games Disc' or something, lots of games, ridiculously lots.

There was this demo of a platformer involving 2 rabbits with guns. Confirm if it's Jack Rabbit?

Now for the real hunt: There are two shmup's I remember there.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

One of it is set in space, gameplay is somewhat simple and the protagonist ship is brown. Through the valiant efforts of my sister, the next thing I noticed is that she's far in the game. The ship is firing large green, or maybe purple, orbs; obliterating the enemy so hard it's lagging. When the next weapon upgrade came along the ship is now firing (what I describe as) coronas.

The next one I have a much easier time remembering. I think it was called 'Redemption', however when I tried to look for any trace of it online nothing comes up, I'm sure it existed. The ship starts with a simple single-shot gun. The thing is, weapons consume 'energy', so the lvl 2 shot had a greater consumption of it than the previous one. However, since it wasn't me playing it (thanks again, sis), the next time I looked she was already set in some arctic stage, using the next-to-the-latest weapon since it goes through everything, including the sudden ice boulders that you'll crash into. The stage after that is set in the city, and the new weapon fires a HUGE shotgun blast of the lvl 1 shot, but it consumed around half the energy bar, very impractical.

The thing is, I want to find it so I can finish it myself.

Can't help with the spoiler stuff, but the platformer with the rabbits is Jazz Jackrabbit. There was (at least one) sequel.

I remember an old game, top down view, you build your own fire breathing dinosaur using build points tuning fire, fire spread, dimension, resistence, speed, vision radius etc.


then you made a fighting tactic for him, making move sequences around an enemy.

and then you build an army of fire breathing dinosaurus to fight against other players' armies.

the combat was automated, you could only set up your starting position and single dinosaur individual tactics.

That... sounds awesome.

I discovered a game a while ago, it was something to do with machine learning and teaching AI to do stuff. I think it was strategy based, and you had to teach your robots how to defend, attack etc. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

Tycoon game, you made some sort of wildlife park with flowers and I'm pretty sure animals, could invite people into gawk (I guess that was the point, but I think I always played the sandbox) Kudzu could wind up infesting your park, and you could have wildfires. T'was fun.

I think it's called NERO. http://nerogame.org/ Yeah I think it's it.

No leads on my shmups from my childhood?

A flash game, where you ran a little school for heroes. You sent them on missions and things to boost their abilities before booting them off into the world as a whole. Vaguely anime. Any help?

That sounds a lot like SimPark to me. I never had it, but I played a demo that came with SimSafari which was extremely similar.

SimSafari was one of my favourite Sim-games as a kid, it's weird how little it gets talked about.

Yes! SimPark! If only I knew what the point of it was. But damn it was fun, like the Oregon trail game.

A flash game I played on kongregate, You play as a small little semi solid sphere and you had to swim underwater to kill and bring up creatures made of lines. It had an oxygen meter and you could upgrade different stuff. And the further you went underwater, the biigger the creatures got.

That's the one, cheers.

FlOw?

I think that was the name. Or at least somewhat similair.
