Is Yop the Penguin a real thing?
There was this cartoon I remember, maybe it was anime that had purple octopuses with machine guns attacking a boat full if I believe mafia looking dudes.

Now there's a movie I'll never be able to erase from my mind ^^

Cant remember that one, but I remember some game from like 1999 where you had this group of dudes with different shades of hair and eyes and clothes, and you had to use them to solve puzzles to get them home. Like one was this tree thing where you had to stick certain dudes with certain colors/hair shapes/etc into specific rooms. For the life of me, I cant remember what it was

Does anyone remember the show Crystal Cove from when you were a kid?

My older brother used to play a game about 12 years ago, and allowed me to play it once. I've asked him several times what game it was and/or where he found it, but he has no clue what I am talking about. All I recall is that it was a multiplayer world where you could walk around and fight monsters, but you could also go to these huge farm plots and pick up the herbs. One of the weirdest things I recall is that you could walk up to animals like horses and type a command in the chat to shrink them, so you could take them along with you in your inventory. Furthermore I recall it being possible for everyone to create a portal in a hub in town to their own little dimension (house-like thingy) where you could use all kinds of items as decoration or even create more portals to other dimensions.
I simply can not find any information on this game, and would love to know what it was or even play if if it is still around.

It's not that obscure since 3 million Sega Pico consoles were apparently sold but I've never heard a single person talk about it/acknowledge it's existence? I remember playing this as a kid (alongside the SNES/N64) and have such vivid memories of a few of the games...to the point I remember the music/sounds/entire scenes completely after having looked them up on youtube to make sure I just didn't make it all up in my head.

I owned several cd-roms with games and demos that I loved playing as child, and I can't remember the name of half of them T_T

When I was a kid I used have this weird adventure game. I didn't understand anything that the game said so I never got anywhere. I still launched it sometimes and just click click clicked. I've been looking for the name of the game for the past 10 years and finally found it this year - it was a German (Not English as I thought - but anyway a language I didn't speak back then) promotional game for the German Telecom, and it's called Telekommando, from 1992. That feels like a pretty obscure game nowadays.

Telekommando 2 was awesome and a really good adventure game (atleast I remember it like that). Never played the first Telekommando much because it seemed much harder and I was just too young. But there were some interesting promotional games back then. The other beside Telekommando 2 was for Bifi I think. It played in a film studio.
And there was even one for Knorr if I remember correctly. Are those brands even known outside of Germany?

Now I remember. I played some games in my childhood to promote ecological correct behaviour. One of them was called "Das Erbe". You inherited you grandpas house and all you had to do was getting some papers signed, doing the garden, cleaning the house and invite a chick over to some ice cream.
To this day everytime I open the windows to vent my apartment I will turn down the radiators before because this was a Game Over reason in that game.

If you want, we can talk about obscure/forgotten things (preferably from the Internet or a video game, but it can be whatever I guess). As in just something pretty much you and only you remember/owned.
For instance, I swear to god that I used to have some weird PC "game" (from what I remember it was more of a compilation of ads) with a character called Yop the Penguin. All he said was Yop. And there were other characters like a giant purple lady who did slap bass on her guitar...and that's the only other character I can remember. I can't find any information about it online at all, so I'm not entirely convinced at the moment that it wasn't just a huge fever dream. S-so if any of you remember that game, could you please confirm to me that it was real?
Might talk about some more obscurities later, but for now, tell me about something you found once and maybe never saw again.
