Ok I had a dream about this game so it may not be real, but here goes...

Amiga 500 era polygon helicopter game.  Not a sim like Gunship 2000, but quite similar in look and gameplay to Virus IIRC.  The chopper was perhaps blue and I seem to recall 'wolf' being in the title, though I could just be thinking of Airwolf.

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.

Ship combat game, where the ship you had was very customizable.  I believe the first game in it's series started with your ship, from earth, somehow teleporting to where the games take place in. I remember a ship called the Wirblewind, or the Whirlwind being a boss-ship you had to defeat twice in the series (First time without it's speed, the second time with.)  I also remember an unlockable ship-shape where the ship was in the shape of a H, with the bow being the top of it.

teported from earth?  series?  youre not talking about this are you?:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X:_Beyond_the_Frontier

If not, can you describe the style of game?  cockpit based, top down 2D, follow-cam, something else?

It had a follow-cam, and the ships would have mostly normal weapons. Also, it was a PlayStation 2 series.

It was this flash game, I think, I used to play on Newgrounds, I think.
You were a dragon, or something riding a dragon, and I think there were boss fights.
I remember the last boss like: you rode a horse, and had to lasso these bug things, which you then crashed into or shot at the last boss with.

There was a game I tried to play while I had a really old computer with no sucess.

It's a first person videogame online with other players set in a sci fi environment, where you started on your home planet, fighting wildlife, and then you would create a little city on the planet, and then spaceships eventually colonizing other planets and meeting other players. I really can't remember the name, it's free to play and it has kinda of a terrible graphic, but the game is very nice. It is mostly in first person, but I think there was the possibility to use some kind of rts view.

Please let me find the game again :)

Thank you :)

(also if I'm not wrong I discovered the game first time on this forum xD )

T'was Genesis game I played once, an asslong time ago... (or at least I'm 90% sure it was Genesis; I know for sure it was a Sega console)

If I recall correctly, it was a fast-paced isometric shoot-em-up, took place in a desert, the main character was a dude in a white jumpsuit with a blond pompadour and a gigantic manjaw, and it was hella fun.

This was a shareware game that came on those 3.5" disks that would come in the mail every month or so when you signed up for prodigy or aol or whatever. Top down perspective, you're this little dude running through a forest shooting fireballs at evil tree monsters and giants and stuff. You'd pick up potions/scrolls that would let you shoot a lot of fireballs at once. IIRC you'd win a level by killing every monster, and the game was turn based - as in the monsters only move when you do. I want to say the game's name was something like 'sylvan idyll', but googling that brings up precisely nothing.

A Commodore 64 game.
It was a single-screen platformer (like Jumpman or Donkey Kong). You controlled a guy on a safari, or maybe a guy who works at a zoo. Animals have escaped and it's your job to capture them again. You must avoid dangerous animals while luring them into traps so you can drop cages on them. The game also featured monkeys that would frolic around the screen and screw up your traps.

I'm also trying to think of a DOS game. The graphics were textured 3D, so it had to be made around 1994-1995. It was a pretty straightforward racing game, except for the huge loops, jumps and other things that couldn't possibly exist in real life.
